M)ie ^erold and jrai fettered at the Postoffice at New1ktj, S. C., as 2nd class matter. K. H. AULL. EDITOR. Tuesday, October 17, 1916. ONE i That is a fine piece of work that Capt. Joe Werts has done on Caldwell street in front of the Baptist church.! it helps the looks of things in that neighborhood and talso will help the (pleasure of travel over the street. "We welre just wondering if we could not get the members of tHe Baptist church interested to the extent of co-( operating with the city in placing a curbing and a blind ditch along the eide of the church. on Boundary street. ' If this could be done the cost would, not be great and the street could be' i widened and the appearance of the^ street greatly improved. A little cooperation on the part of the property owners along the street might induce' the city to have this work done. The' Baptist have a beautiful and a church-1 It building and the improvement of the street along side the property j helps theappearance of things very. much. fAnd if there is a place that we j should try to keep nice and attractive j it is the church and the school.. We un-j derstand that it is the purpose of May- j or Whight to improve the sidewolks * of all the streets leading .directly to the several schools of the city and in j this he is perfectly correct, and the^ came .thing appliesi with even greater force to the improvement of the -and xi-nltc Ipadinjr tn anii alonsr- ' side the churches of the city. We would he glad to liave Alderman Senn take this matter of widening and im-| proving this section of Boundary street up with the church and the citizens of the neighborhood. It is worth- while doing and would be a service to the entire ward. And then this street is one of the main arteries^ leading into the city. Permanent work on the streets is what is needed and i this would be in the nature of peri manent work. i i We would like to make a hint to the young ladies who are going after' . the prizes offered by The Herald and j News, and it is this: Get a mailing] I list and go after those fello-ws who, have been taking the paper and have permitted themselves to get in ar-: rears. We would rather have that: I money than money for new ones. Our list is big enough, with the high price of paper. There is very little money j in the price of the paper and the av- j erage advertiser does not want to pay for circulation, all he wants is sDace. Our circulation was over 2,000 before! the contest began and already the young ladies have added something over two hundred. And all are not yet in who have subscribed. Get the old fellows. vy ~7 I rr?\_ _ o? a i me spartanourg journal says tnat only 25 of the members of the last legislature have been returned to the next. That will give about 100 new members though some of them have seen service in former years. Some of th 25 who are returned had to run' a Sf*rnnH an/1 pvpti third TV>/?o Kofrvro they were elected. And some of these J are among the most able and evperienc ed of the membership of the last house. Cofhran of Greenville is an able man and a fair man and a broadminded m ;n and makes a valuable member of the legislature. He had to run a third race and the onlv one of / the old delegation reelected. Bovd of ? ? ' I Spartanburg had the same experience and he is chairman of the judiciary committee and a good legislator of lability. There seems to have been pretty general unrest and dissatisfaction with the work of the legislature and yet it is claimed for it that it was progressive and constructive. The people, however, do not always elect the men -who do things. On the contrary they are generally the ones who are not elected. The way to remain in office is to do nothing except what you have to do and' frrw* ttae^ salary and look wire. Our friend Greene of the Abbeville Press and Banner is correct in bis position on the rotation of circuit judges. We never did think it was a good thing for the judge nor for the! litigant to have the judges running all over the State, i^et eacn juage remain in his own circuit. He toei comes ecquainted with the litigants and the cases and can very easily do more "work and with greater comfort' and less expense to himself, and we believe tnat tne enas or justice -win be better conserved. A good law to pass at the next session of the legislature would be to stop running the i circuit judges all over the State and let each one remain in his own cir-j cuit. Now and then ft mlgnt be well to let them exchange if they so desire. By remaining in their own cir-; cuits they could get home more fre quently and be In position to do better service. / We republish from the Yorkvilie Enquirer an editorial comment on an -* * - ' ** ? 211 - ^ editorial 01 tne lireeiivme i>cw& w which we direct the atention of the reader. It deals with th^ question of .factionalism and all this talk of a bolt,' * i an# former editorials from the Enquirer and. The Herald and News copied and commented by the News. The Enquirer has stated the ca^e in a plain ? ' \ and sensible way, and, as it says, The Herald and News is not a spokesman for Gov. Blease, but was speaking for itself alone. The Herald and (News has made the effort to he fair and impartial and its editor is not a factionist and never has tseen. We have al-, ways given every side in a disputed or contested question a fair and lm-:' partial hearing in these columns. I The Herald and News has supported GVIr. Blease, but we have never been a blind follower of him or any one else. We have not agreed with him on many questions, and we liave not I hesitated to say so, and to say so througn these columns. In other wroids The Herald and iNews is a news-! - *A- ? AA1IITY>T1C ' paper first, so iar as its ue VVS VUJUUiug i are concerned. In its editorial columns we try to give the opinions of the editor on all questions and to givej them in courteous and respectful lan- ] guage and in terms that cannot be' uisun-derstood or misconstrued. After writing a column to explain j what he meant and to say that he had: i no proof except circumstantial evi-1 dence that <Mr. Blease was the paid j representative of the whiskey trust,1 i the Oaffney Ledger says: "Since Mr. j Btease's supporters are disposed to put a different construction on w'hat intonrfori ac a n^rfectlv harmless re I ference to Mr. Blease and the whis' key trust, we have 110 hesitancy in say! ing that we regret the original paragraph, and offer apologies to all perties concerned." 9 The Herald and News has not men* tioned the matter to Mr. Blease and we do not know that he saw the original reference to this matter in the Ledger. And what we said about the Ledger's article was not a "warning" but a simple desire to see the right and justice prevail. _ I " 1 liL. iW That was a terrible tragedy in Greenwood county the other day. It I is, as the Abbeville Press and Banner j | i says, due to two causes, the use of1 i mean blind tiger whiskey and the: ready pistol. We heard a man say not j so many moons ago that they had a J , chemical naw from which whiskey i could be manufactured and it may be' l the quality of the article that brings j out readily the meanness of the man j who drinks it and turns him into a | demon. It seems from what the papers are saying that the sale of whiskey in Greenwood is more prevalent now than in the days of the dispensary -when; it was said that while the dispensary was in existence in Abbeville that if you wanted to buy it after sundown you would have to go to Greenwood to get it. It would seem that this county woudd be a good place for Gov. Manning to expend some of bis law enforcement fund. "We thinK it was in the Gaffney paper that -we read the sale of liquor was prevalent in that county and that | i more people under the influence of it;| were seen on the streets recently than j in many years previous. I It would seem from these facts as stated by our contemporaries that' there are other places than Charleston ' where there is violation of the liquor j laws and where there is need for l^w enforcement. MR. ALFRED COLLIXS Mr. Alfred Collins, who was con- | nected with, various newspapers in South Carolina at dicerent times died recently in Lima, Ohio. He spent several months in Greenwood in 1&02 when he issued the "Twentieth Cen- j tury Edition" of The Index. Previous j to that time he was in dewberry. He j once edited an afternoon daily . in Spartanburg and was also in Green- ; ville. He was a newspaper worker of ability and was faithful andt loyal; to all tasks imposed upon him. Those who knew him well esteemed him highly. He was buried from the Episcopal church of Lima. The fact recalls that often he spoke in deepj affection of his church and especially i of its burial service, "one for rich or, poor," no difference to be shown.? Greenwood Index. j There are some people in Newberry! who will remember Mr. Collins. He; r was here for several months several t I years ago and assisted in the prblica- j tion of a special edition of The Herald ( and News. We have a group picture j of our office force at the time in which J his picture is. We found him a very [ clever gentleman and a good news-,' address.
