The Herald and 'News during the past summer, and in the campaign, l'i s been conservative, and has not been extreme on factional lines. Wi have endeavored to print the newr and to sive the readers both sides cf ! ell questions. In other words, w j hi ve been fair. At the opening of the State campaign we printed, at our request, the opening speeches of the rv feveral candidates for governor j . furnished bv themselves along wi'b j _ ? ! cuts of them. i The position of this'editor has not I feeen changed, and I did not feel that ' it was necessary for a constant state-1 ?ent of it. I do not want anyone to be under anr misapprehension as to my position, not that it matters so much" as to how I stand or how I vote. I have j never tried to run with the hare and j V 1- ?*Vi^ Vi/viiriila T flm not ! i/sriL wiui me iivuuMo. built that way. The whole world \ ray know how I stand, if it concerns j the world. I have never been a trim mer neither have I ever tried to play j in both backyards at the ?tame time. j I If it concerns any one to know, J * i have voted for Cole Blease every time he has been a candidate. My frjend9hip 4 for his family' dates back beyond his day in politics. He was a pupil of mine when I taught in the college.' His father, Henry Horatio Blease,! was my friend when I was in need - * ( t a friend, and if I should not remain a friend to bis boys I would feel that 1 was an ingrate, and no one can truthfully charge me with ingratttude. News, the point .of this is, if it con-j cerns any one, I voted for Oolie Blea&ej and rill vote "for him today. If thkt^. unfits me for the ..* office of county; 4 - .. . I superintendent of educaton so be it. j I have made the race for county superintendent of education on my record, and my ability to serve the. people, and on that alone. If in order j to get votes for that or any other of- J fice I have to trim or straddle, then j I will never hold that or any other J office. I do not fall out with people < who do not agree with me or do not j: vote <as I do. If partisan politics is to ' i < rule in the selection of a man to fill j the office of county superintendent of education I shall regret it, and if the! good people of Newberry are going to vote in this race solely on this ques-! tion as a standard of fitness, I shall j also regret it, but I do Hot want anyj one to vote for me or against me under any misapprehension as to my position, or as to how< I shall vot#* I am constrained to make this statement because it has come to me in the j last day or two that I had changed; and was not supporting Gov. Blea*e. j This has been done to take away j some votes rnai may n^ve wmc ?-. way. I have not raised that question end I did not think it wi&B necessary at this late day for me to state my position* and I am not doing so for the sake of securing votes, because as 1 have said in the campaign, and as 1 say now, the office of county superintendent of education is an office that Bhould be filled by a man who can 1 < KPTV.P. t.he neoDle and the schools and , , V I am basing my claim to the office and the suffrage of the people on my j ability to erves based on tie record I j made while I held the office. If you want a man who can serve \ the schools and who has proven toy his work hi ability to serve them, I will appreciate your vote, but if your idea of the duties of the office is, that it. * requires some one who is going to cr/vf-a fat wvprnAr nr some other office as you do, then I am not the man you are looking for. I have confidence in the good judgment of the people of Newberry county, and I believe that I am going to bo elected, because I believe they are going to do the right, and that they, are not going to turn a^way from \ ?^ r\*?AT7Ar\ KTT yonnrd Tiia man wuu JLUV? viVTtu ^ \ ability to serve and net, as President WiLeii says. on nuking doubtful and conjectural promises of service." ELBERT H. AULL. Mr. .J. H. 1\ Cromer's (feneration. Years ago the great poet. Sir Wal-, ter Scott, wrote that beautiful and! excellent little story of love and ad-1 venture known as "The Lady of%the; hake." H'e divided the story into six parts, or cantos, and at tbe beginning of e: ;.ch canto he attached a paragraph called the introductory which has no j &efinte connecton witli the story, but' is almost universal in its application.' The introdutory to "eanto three so! 1 - ? ? ? l neany expresses une avuuuicui w?i; we wish to express that we would gladly have the reader review these verses at this point. "Time rolls his ceaseless course. The race of youre, tW(ho danced our In? ncy upon their knee, - | And told our marvelling boyhood .v legends store Of their strange ventures happed toy land or sea. How are .they Dlotted from teethings that be! | How few, all weak and withered of their force, . | Wait on the verge of dark eternity, I Lake stranded wrecks, the tide returning hoarse, - - .

And iri this cycle of events, we are too prone to forget how inevitable is the i supersescion of one generation by - < another, winat a iew 01 lilC BtilVUl- I boys of sixty years ago can we find today! Where are the hosts of playmates of 185G? The sadly few w&o remain, "wait like stranded" for the ( returning tide to sweep them from our sight. Very distinctly is this noticed in i the lists of our "old vets." Every! year on memorial day several do not respond to the roll call and their J names are read from the "Death list" ?they have heejz enrolled in eternity. i-u ? ?rv<r? atrnrv And a sax* xrue uuuuguk ivi "boy who wore the Grey" is next jnemQria.1 day I may not can respond. Slowly <but surely they are passing to the "Great Beyond." There are no sharp dividing lines I between two successive generations. In fact, there are various conceptions ' as to tlhe number of years that elapse during a generation. Some would say seventy yes^rs; some, sixty; some,! fifty, but thirty-$irce seems tiie logical j number. However, there is a rule! which, is a comparatively certain indi- j cation of one generation gone and1 another come?an old dwelling set aside or torn down and a new one constructed. Not very long ago, our community lost one of its oldest and most faith-, fi citizens, iMr. J. H. P. Cromer, a schoolboy of sxty years ago. But not i * A-11 I knowing of his death, one couia xen ^ that his generation had been superseded, for the old house is being set aside and a new one bcilt. Wlhat s f few of the late Mr. 'Cromer's school- ] mates survive! What a few of such^ old dwellings remain inhabited! j "Time rolls his ceaseless course.'V Just a few word about this old log dwelling. First, let it be distinct- j ly understood that no reflection is cast upon tlhe old home because it is called a log house. Remember two j it -was built of logs beoiusej that was the style in those days and that it was built during or about the { unfavorable times of reconstruction. As we Lad begun to say, this is a typi-" cal old fashiohed log bouse consisting of a sin-all main foody and two j shed rooms. The logs are hewn and j knotchd at the ends, and perhaps it; would be of intrest to some to know! that those who "carried up the cor- j aers" were T. L. Wicker, Adam Felk- j bt, J. H. Harmon and W. F. Suber. j Ait the building of the new, bow many ;1 ;u?? enr\*ivf??

This old building was one of, i the very few to withstand tlie destruc- j live cyclone which swept away St. j Matthews church in 1884. lying in the southern path of this rotatory storm. | And now just on the back side of the old house we see being erected a beautiful commodious residence strict1? m/v^orn "we see "go ami is uoiELg eveivLiiiug ^ ~ j a home of beauty ai^J comfort.

She has ever been faithful V " / ' ' it "w'as her dfesire to do any and every- J :hng in the society, and .elsewhere that would be for the glory" "!of thi | master; ]->er-faith in prayer to hi ;t *as something beautiful.

About eleven years ago she was happily married to Mr. Henry 'Carter. Unto tnem v.vs Dorr? one son. She was an affectionate wife and mother, her death was not unexpected, -but all who knew, her believe she was prepared to meet the call. She left a husband and a beautifu. baby, and their hearts are rung with' pain. , x But if they are true and faithful they will surely meet again. She fulfilled a mother's station, Acted wel the noble wife, But now she is beyond the power, Of Satan, Sin and earthly strife. To the husband of dear Kate. Teach the boy to love his God, J Walking daily in 'the pathway, That his sainted mother trod. Teach the hoy to shun the vices, That his mother daily shunned, And his life will be a blessing, When his earthly race is mn.

Tarrant and granddaughter of the late A. W.' T. (Simmons. Her young life in this city was a tender an?l pure development into a noble won^nhood. Her sudden death was a great shock to her devoted' sister and family in Union and to her devoted (brother, Mr. Itobert L.-Tarrant, and his family Jn Newberry, and the friends sympathise very deeply; with the families in their great affliction. Two nights after the Baxters had their pants stolen a thief stole the panffe of several citizens of Laurens and was killed by Laurens officers near Fountain Inn. He gotj money from some of the stolen pants. The same thief, who was an unknown white man, had been operating in different parts of the state, chiefly, las reported, between Columbia and Fountain Inn. ?
