SOME ERRORS i We have never claimed even an approach to perfection, and we have al Tvays stated that we made mistakes. It is very difficult, even in the t?est regulated offices, to avoid mistakes. They are common to our humanity. We do try rvery hard, however, to print the advertisements just as the advertisers want them printed. It is good sometimes, however, to have an error in an advertisement. If it is not serious and doe3 not do violence to the advertiser or the public. It gives the advertiser the information that his advertisement is read. Last Friday Mr. J. D. Quattlebaum phoned us a small ad about the price he was paying for chickens. We got the figures as he gave them, and so wrote them 4n the fionv hut i-n read ias the proof we failed to compare it with tiie copy and according to the ad as it appeared he was offering to pay 16 cents the pound for hens when it should have been 12 cents the pound. Karly Friday he called us up on the phone and said he was about to be mobbed. That chicken hene had come j la t>y the wagon, loaa irom aoove dewberry even, and Le could not pay over 12 cents, and what must he do. Well, we were not able to pay the difference for all the hens in Newiberry county, so we just begged him to be kind enough to beg off an<f put the blame on the newspaper, and we would explain how it happened. And then in the last issue "we had Caldwell and Haltj^anger" offering ladies' white wool ekirts tor 95. cents, when Mr. V ' .^ \.v?> J Ewmrt says iie wrote wash, skirts, and \ * we have no doubt he is correct. The 1 ? thnoo TL'Vlitft iaums were uuaug wi wool skirls ^at $5 cents before Mr. JEwafrt re the store the next I morning. And^then a short time ago **7jt we Had Mimnaugh saying that the !a mmmt dies'had their eyes "Lastened" on the N ' rod* Kar?aine of new BDriHiT JfOOd* that he was offering, while tMlmnaugh says he wrote "feasting* their eyes That error we made'knowing that the a'aa i.Reri and we iust thought f V4U ? w- ? Mimnaugh had a new way of say lug the goods T-e:e so attractive that the iailies could itot take their eyes off ustil they purchased. But Mimuau^L -says he wants us to print wia: he writes, and he it right about this, a;id we try to do it, but sometimes w e *?ot have tiBio to send the proof for approval and t'ne mistake is inevitable, because it io difficult to read the w.:ting of some of us. But we hops to do better in ine future, and to avoid li.istakes oi this character, and all otters, if possible. But as we said at tbft-begini::'!^, mistakes will take place :n t'.'e b-.:st rtg-nated family. ? The last i. sue was delayed i i t}.e | mriling on account o." an incr?a-i in j a.- rutins;. 'We are not keeping as j large 'or: < as we once had, air.1 it j it will not pay to do it unless '.he i business was greater. 'Sometimes we sit around wit-i the force we have and wait for time to go to press, because there are no ad ; to set. The printer j . . has to be paid, it is up to us rt Keep i him busy. If we have not the business j it is not his fault. The last issue was ! the best paper we have printed this | year from the standpoint of the count- I ing room, and yet we had to leave j out a lot of local and other matter that we had in hand and in tyye, be c.aue we cannot afford to turn down advertisements, though we did leave j\-nt thnt d"hmi7fl hsva ?rri!U? intn the last pa^er. We mention this as an eplxanation why The HeraM and News did not carry some local that was considered important news and which we had in hand. We hope that when the new ^ire alarm is installed that arrangements will "be made to have some sort of system by which when the alarm is giv 3ii the fire may be located without ' rushing wild in every direction to find out where the fire is. We notice that in the town of Union a system of fire alarm boxes has been installed, and when the alarm is sounded yoi /->q? fr/vm Khv it is sent in WV/ii 11 Viil T1 lliVAA orWM and by keeping the locality of the boxes you can locate the fire. Even if the system would indicate which ward the alarm comes from it would be some help. We suppose that our people will never get out of the habit of running and diivine at (break neck speed to go to a Jire. ^ cd it is use les to make any suggestion about that. COMMUNITY ARTOOXS. -i {The Herald and News has procured -v ~nrtmmimifv />artrvonR and c? SCI ICO Ut vv? --- ? ? ? / will run th?ai from week to week in an effort to' arouse the community spirit in our -town. We have preached it -by word (for many years and sometimes we bave almost felt that all our preaching has keen in vain. IWie are going to give it a trial in the shape of pictures. This seems to be the age ol pictures. We once had the idea of using them in connection with. a special page of advertisements but t.e are going to run them purely and simply as a town booster, and Iiope to Save the cooperation of the merchants and business men generally in our efforts to arouse the community spirit. iAny one who travels about the State will tell you that we have one of the best, : if not the best, towns in the State and one of the best counties in everything that goes to make an ideal community and a good place to live and to do business, except that possibly we a^e lacking in just one thing, and that one thing is the community spirit. Now, everybody in town and every body in the county, conic along and lay aside your hammer and help us to ge: this community united in every good effort that goes to make a place that you will all want to be saying good about. We want to spread the fever a.' good will and kind words about the place and givo^the fever to every one I who lives in it and make ;t bo hot for the fellow who has out his hammer that he will either put it up or gently fold his tent and move on io more con genial climes for his trade. We don't want the knocker in.our midst and he must go, if we are to come into our own. If the town is good enough for you to live in, then it should be good enough for you to .say & kind work about it, and if it is good enough to give you a living then it should he good enough for you to give something now and then in return to help the general welfare of the community. POLITICAL ADVERTISING. We have had some inquiries about the price for political advertising. We have decided to charge 25 cents the inch lor all such advertising. That the advertiser may be able to estimate on tile cost of his platform or his announcement or Whatever he may desire to have printed we will sav that * i that price is just about a half cent the word and i.:' he will count the words i-.i n-lioi t/~i cor in tV>?< nBAlllp I iJA M UUl XXV UVUii VO lu OWJ IV and then make the calculation at one half cent for each, word and send th'? check along with his communication j it will appear in The Herald and News. j We print the correspondence between V. B. Cheshire and Senator Tillman for two reasons besides it be-, I ing good reading. First, Senator Till- j man re.'ers to a matter which happened at Newberry in the campaign of 1S92. and then, second, to give thrt senator's idea of obeying the law as to two offices. He savs he is satis fioil he is'breaking no law and that is "such a trivial thing that I brush it as::!c^ as not worthy my consideration." "I helped make the constitution.' Sure he did, and there were a oihers there a'so ! m lie may have made it. Then if he did he shoifld not have put such things in there about hoYiing two offices and members '?gislture having to vacate their seats if they held any position or office except notary public. If we are not mistaken the constitutional convention I did pass some sort of resolution that j Senator Tillman be permitted to hold i I on to his trusteeship in Winthrop, but ! j it does not appear in tlie written con- i stitution and if the provisions that 1 I are there as to two offices are s<"> i I trivial why was sucha resolution pass- | j ed as to him.

Tite3e | th.ngs are wrong, but tnose higher up i Should set the example of law ob-' j ! !ser?ance and it would possibly have a salutary effect. We do not endorse the ugly epithets ! that Mr. Cheshire applies to Senator ! Tillman, and his references to his ; 7 i ' son and therefoe we do not print his j , reply. We do not think these tniug ' add any force to a statement or an ' argument and we do not approve them ! in any one. j , j SUPT. BABRE RECEIVES tfONEY ?r nn i TiVTk CPriAAT (1 TVtt JtVlIL&lj HAJlXJtEilS tJVllVVli ? \ i I There are tea school distinct in .Newberry county that have voted a four-mills*iax bo as to increase their teaching force and the efficiency a:'' - ? ii? rix. i _ ' the schools ana to snare m me ouii.? I appropriation in aid o{ rural graded schools. The money for e.ight of them 1 has been sent to Superintendent Barre,1 but the other two will only g?t the 1 '* 1 benefit of the term extension fund.; Zion has the enrollment this *year j . . i and the average attendance, Dut eariy i in the session did not have the enroll- j met ad therefore was given only the j $100 for term extension, and now it is j held cannot get the other $100 to maKej ihe $200 to which it is entitled as a j two teacher rural school. Smyrna vot- j ted the four-mills tax and got the $200 j last vMr as a tu*n teacher school be-! i cause it had the enrollment and the 1 j average attendance. This year it has j the average attendance but not the en-1 | rollment and therefore cannot get the | State aid as a rural graded school. < | j St. Lukes, Swilton and Hunter-Be- ^ Walt have three teachers and the en- f rollment and the average at tendance ad therefore have received \ $300 each from the State. St. PiJll- < lips, Pomaria, Trinity, J?lapa, ' and | Sftverstreet have two teachers .and i have received each $200 fronp: the \ State. 1 v i Last school year the State superln- 3 cavo KAwhftrrv oountv from the fund which the legislature gave's aim to help weak and needy schoolsj ] about $2,S00, and we understand that 3 the appropriation for this purpose this f year is larger than it was last year, and he has given nothing so far to. 1 Newberry, and Mr. Barre says th?.t he ] ?o nnf hnnino- tf\ vprv much from . ? ?vr?.

It ^ould seem that if Vpwhprrv rnnld eet $2,800 last year that there migh't be something coming this way tliis year. There are several districts that need Velp and that are doing all they are able to do for themselves. KR3T.1RKS OF JUDGE WILSON I TO THE GRAND JURY The judge first said to the grand jurj- that in many respects their power and' responsibility was even great er than the judge on the bench. Said j the grand jury has the right to start posecutions and also to stop prosecutions and it was the duty of the grand jury to see that whenever parties should be prosecuted in the court it was their duty to see that they are brought to trial. Said further that in some comunities there are people who do no-1 start prosecutions against lawbreakers because they do not like to incur his anger? etc, and it was in such cases as this that the grand jury comes into play. Said that while it was their duty to start prosecutions against guilty parties, it was also their duty to shield the innocent, because in a great many instances prosecutions were started through spite, etc. Next took up the matter of pnb'ic officers of the county, saying it was the duty of the grand jury to inspect every public office in the county sometime during the year and to see that the officers are discharging their duties substantially in a proper way. Along this line the judge said that it I would help the officers as well as the I public in general and should make * [TheC X Stc / Loans - - I Overdrafts, S< Real Estate - Cash on Hanc C a nit a I Stnplr Surplus und F Dividends Un; Bills Payable Deposits I IT IS OUR PLEASURI ISO OUR CONTINUED .4 TO OUR CUSTOMERS A. ? -? -> ? a trrn /trtn (AOT 03(15 wr ULH.
