The attention of the Democratic voter is called to the fact that under *ie new rules and laws of the Democratic primary it is necessary to have a new enrolment every year. The names of the secretaries and tlie places where the books are has been published twice in The Herald and News. Some of the clubs have enrolled pretty well while some have not enrolled. Two clubs announce this issue that they will have the books at the club precincts for the purpose on Saturday. The last day for enrolling is July 25. We simply desire to call attention to the regulations and urge each voter to see to it that his name is on the club roll. And you must put it there vourself. You ran not authorize some one else to sign the roll for you. "A FACT THAT IS PROVED." "Whatever doubts may have been entertained have been dispelled. There may have been some who clung with faith to a belief that nature would reverse its laws under certain circumstances, but the rains of the last few days have proved that nature Is yet on the job. Whenever loose sand, or dead, pul verizeu ana nou-uuuesive uirc is raided from the gutters upon the surface of the street, the sand or' dirt aforesaid is bound to wash back again. That has long been known to many of the ordinary lay citizens and "6ome day may be realized as a fact by the city government. When it is realized, there will be a 4 saving in wasted time and energy. There are no better streets for the residence section than clay and sand ?when they are mixed and rolled. But loose dirt will wash away. Except rn dry weather, when it will tlow away.?Columbia Record. TT T V? n 4" A T? Vv ?S AM MA ? *>uat *v uai we nave ueeu saving about (Newberry for many years. This thing of patdh work on the streets should be stopped. It is a waste of time and energy and money. It is a fact that does not need prcof. It is demonstrated before your very eyes -every day. When those in authority will provide the superintendent of streets with the means to do some permanent work and then let him do it, then will we begin to save the money of the taxpayer and the city "Will have some good streets. By the way, while in Columbia the other day we noticed .that some oi the wood block paving was bulgin? up in the middle and that did not iiave the appearance of permanent work. !We had no idea that wooc (LV T_ - - ' uiucji paving wouia ao tnat.

I "PRTPAKEIXNESS AT HOME,* A few days ago we called attention to the epidemic of infantile paralysis : - in New York city. Much to the sorrow of the people everywhere, this owurge snows no aDaiement, ana its spread seems alarming. It is feared that this terrible malady may reach the South. We state this upon the opinion of a resident physician who has had much exper rience in epidemics. His advice is the same as that given by the New York board of health to the city ol INTew York?not advice, but imperative orders?the city must be made clean. Whv MTl n r\f oil tV<A ? v-ii uvi ail VI tliC lUiV-Ct> OI IL<J~ lumbia be united to force a cleaning up of this city? Especially will it he needed when this period of intermittent rains is over. Old fences, old sheds, weeds and rubbish?all should come away and expose the dirtt o the sunlight.?Columbia Record. We have been looking around over the city of (Newberry and we reproduce this from The Record to emphasize the importance of some vxcaiiijjg up aivuuu ILUS gooa lOWn. There are a lot of weeds in yards of private residences as well as on the streets that need to be taken away so that the sunshine may come in If there was united effort and co: _ / f | ..lt? it u n-y V. ? ; < Iran city, or .r that matter 10 tio almost anything that needed to be i done. This is important to the health i of the community. ? i ? We notice that the good roads bill i passed by congress has been signed ; by the president. It provides funds for each 'State in the aid of road building on condition that each State do its part in the work. South Carolina's portion to be available in five years is $1,111,500, provided South Carolina appropriate an equal amount. . Properly expended that would build a lot of good roads. It is an investment that will pay big dividends. If the work once starts the federal gov eminent will increase the appropria- j tion from year to year and soon "we will have some roads that are worth while. It is coming, and we would like to see it start. This is something which the candidates for the legislature might discuss with profit and let the people know how they stand on the subject of better roads. Not simply generalize about the value of good roads as we have heard some candidates exploit and blow off about good government. Of course we all favor good governI ment and good roads, but what do you propose to do to bring about these good things. In order to get our proportion of this government aid there will have . to be some sort of legislation to provide the means and possibly the establishment of a road department of tne government, dui wnaiever is necessary should be done. i SCHOOL MATTERS." We are entirely in accord with the position of those who would do away 1 with the present system of awarding scholarships in the State's institutions of higher learning, and who at i the same time would abolish free | tuition. There is no reason for the I State furnishing free tuition to one student if it is not furnished to all. A student who can afford to pay board and other expenses of attending college should at the same time be able to pay a small annual amount for the support of the institution from which he is obtaining an education. There was a time perhaps \Vhen there was reason for the scholarships now being awarded and for free tuition. There was a time when the expenses of securing an education were very large as compared with the financial ability of parents and guardians to give their children a college course. But the time has passed, i The building of Clemson and Win; throp colleges and the lessened ex. penses in other institutions, have put a college education witnm xne grasp ' of every boy and girl in South Caro: lina worthy of an education, provided I they have a desire to acquire the > same. . And while the cost of procuring these educational advantages has 'been lessened the ability of the people to pay has many times increased. ; A great many more people would attend the colleges of the State if the proper preparatory course could be had in the country schools. It is L there that the children need help , most, because it is to these institutions that all the children of the State , | must look for at least a part of the ;f education which they are to receive. The spending of large amounts of money by the State in the support o? h:^h schools in the towns is akin to free tuition and scholarships in the j Stale colleges.?Abbeville -Press and Fanner. We agree with 7011 entirely as to scholarships. Some ten years ago when this editor was a member of the legislature he introduced a bill to abolish all scholarships in State insttutions of nigher learning. There wnc a proflt Vinwl frnm th? TmHHfian<3 about taking away from the poor girls the opportunity of getting an education, and then there came from the Citadel a protest that it would destroy that institution because prac tically all of its State appropriation is for scholarships. We did not mean to injure the Citadel but to support it just as it had been, giving it what, was necessary to run it. We also had a bill to do away with the charge for tuition for the reason that practically no one was "paying any tuition in any of the State : <:<:!!?* t - . i i: : i) fX.-t?plH>nS . and every one be made to pay. We airree with The Pres- and ISanner that any boy or girl tnat is prepare ! | * to enter the freshman class of any | college and has the capacity to take j an education can get one without the j i aid of the State. i Then to make these free scholar- j ; ships and give free tuition puts the denominational college at a disadvantage. And these institutions have I I done and are doing a great work in ; the education of the youth of the j State, and they are filling a very important part in our educational sysj tern. fWhat the -State should do is to encourage and 'build up the preparatory o nf +"ha Q-futo Thoro ic whprp ! V JL W W4.V. A ?? **V- w the great majority of the people get i all the education they ever receive i' and there is the duty of the State to fit the child for citizenship. MASCOTS. We notice in the Anderson Tribune that a gentleman over about Pied- ; mont or Pelzer has given to a company from Anderson as a mascot his pet dog, Colie, and that the only re- ] quest he makes is that they bring ( Colie back to him if he is not killed in battle or does not die from disease. ""while in Columbia the other day we learnetd that L\Ir. Allen M. Sondley, a former Newberry boy, had given to Max Lewis, a sergeant of the Butler Guards of Greenville, his pet goat as a mascot and we - were told that his majesty the goat would be kept at company headquarters. It is our hope that the mascots will prove a benediction to the. boys while in camp. There is not much danger 1 of being killed in battle, because we do not believe there will be any bati tie, but there is danger from disease. The Columbia Record seems to be of the opinion that the supporters of , Blease are registering and gettting ready to vote while the supporters of Manning are indifferent to the matter and do not care whether they vote or not. If Manning can not inspire enough enthusiasm to get his friends A. MA/WiniAM ^ /\ TT? 1 1 1 V? /\ ! *3 1 PP /\*?/% 4 A ? L-U UlC^ WiU UC lUUlUClCUl dS I to voting. (Maybe so, but we believe that the voters will all register before the time is out. It may mean that those wh.0 are against Blease are not very strong for Manning. How about the j supporters of Cooper and of Duncan and DesChamps? Are they indifferent also? I Well, every man should prepare hisplf tn rast his vntp and then 2n to the polls and vote as his conscience dictates and not he led about by newspapers and those who are interested in some particular candidate. We believe that is what the people are going to do this year. We believe that the people of Newberry are signing the club rolls j right along and if they do we will cast something over 3,000 votes in the August primary. The time for signing the club roll is out on the j 25th of this month, and you must, j place your name there yourself, and j it must be the full name, not simply j the initials. Attend to the matter at once. It is important. That is if vou have not already done so. " The roads as a rule are in fine con anion in tne iace ot me great amount i of rain that we have liad recently. If some one would just use tlie split log drag on them after these rains they would be fine. i That is a nice bridge on the Dead Fall road at the 'Welch branch built by Mr. T. P. Richardson. It had been _ _ . needed for many years. There are! some small bridges on this road that need attention and some holes that j should be filled. The "work done by community help is proving good but the road should have" attention' to make this last. ? l \ (ill v. nut sij?ins li:<;t i.s new anu .sca.^onalrlo and I ha: v. ill wear an-J j i you want to save money visit tno ! cfrtra f\?
