From time to time during tiie past several months we have received no tices from the business offices of some of the smaller big dallies in the State that they would be forced to with draw the cojrtesies which have been extended of exchanging with, us, and that if we wanted their paper they would make us a special rate, and if they found that they wanted The Hei ald and News they would send the m^nov fnr t"hp cnhRcnntion. Some of these papers we have been reading ever since they were born, and we shall be sorry to miss their visits. None of the real big dailies of the State have as yet sent us any such notice. ' It seems to us that these papers 1 overlook one thing. Of course, we suppose in a sense, it is not exactly a fair exchange to give a twice-a-week paper for a daily paper, but such has been the custom so long that it has almost come to be oensidered a fair; exchange, lr it was Deiore tne m-| crease in the price of print paper, it; i certainly is more so since the in-j crease. The price of print paper to ! the little country weekly has increas- j ( ed at much more rapid gate than the price to the daily. Where the price I of roll paper has increased fifty per; ' cent the price to the country weekly j for his paper has increased about twoj hundred per cent. So if it was a fair ] exchange of courtesies before, cer-' < i tainly it snouia not De cut o . y ou, ' account of the increase in the price'' of the print paper. j I We remember some years ago, In a J conversation with one of the biggest, i and, in our opinion, one of the great j < est editors in this State, he said that; he got more out of the country week-1 lies to help him in his work as edi tor of the daily than he got from any;1 other source, and that he always read 1 t them very closely, and everything down to the country correspondence. 1 "That in this way better than in any 1 y ether was he able to keep in close 4 touch with the feelings and sentiments 1 and desires and thoughts of the great mass of the people who are really ( the backbone of the whole structure * of our civic government, and that by * getting this he was the better able to | edit his paper. And he was a great editor. He wanted to feel the pulse 1 of the people. In other words he * wanted to get as close as he could to J the people. It is a fact, on our opin- * ion, that too many of our leaders, i as we call them, live too far away t from the people, and among these 3 leaders are the editors of our daily ( papers. * We mention this not to change the views of any of the business mana- 1 gers or tne aames m question, uui lu justify the value of the country pa lmer to the city editor as compared with the value of the city paper to the country editor. We know that we are no good business manager, and yet some how we have managed to keep agoing, but w-e never did know how to keep money. And if these small. dailies shall cut us off, as some one or two have already done, we shall be sorry, but we can't help it, and j we will cut them off, and when we j] want real bad to see something they j 1 are saying we will try to raise a nickle.1 . and buy a copy just to keep familiar 1 with the looks of the sheet. j1 WHAT? WHEY! |, Talking about roads, and you know , that is one of my many hobbies, I had another trip to Columbia the other day, and from Little Mountain to Spring Hill I went by Capers Chapel and came back in the road at Spring Hill. The distance this way is about the 6ame as by Chapin, and the road at the present time is much better, and with a little work could be made a most excellent road. You avoid those big hills between Little Moun tain and Chapin. And then this road goes through a fine section of countr> and it is thicklv settled all the waj If the people of Chapin will not do anything to improve the Lexington end of the Piedmont highway maybe the people along this other road might be induced to do some help along the line of making it a part of the main highway. What does Mr. Jim Addy think of the proposition? I would like to hear from him and; the other good people along the way. !; When will Dr. Hunter call that < meeting at Chapin to take up thia 1 rfead/-(QueetiQB? VEhe-westfesr-Blight) ; fall has been fine for the holding of & iieeting as well as for the working ot he road. And the Newberry end of the road, especially from the Lexington line t<, Excelsior school house, needs some j j thing very much. I think the spiv log drag would ha- answered a fint purpose if it had been used. E. H. A. ; COOPERATION?A GOOD WORD j Cooperation is a good word. >We riave used it and tried so hard to Im press its importance for so many rears that we are always glad to see iny one or any community using it. It is the only way for a community :o grow?cooperation?all pulling to jether and working together for the *ood of the entire community and lay ng aside personal and selfish con jiderations except as they may come n with the rest of the community. We are publishing the report o'f the neeting at Fairfax where the boll wevil situation was discussed, b? :ause, among other things, the main dea of the community and the plan ;o destroy and meet the boll weevil vas by cooperation, and the spirit of mo monifpRf in the meet _pt'l o UUU II uu Utu? ing. The banker and the farmer and :he merchant and all the others co- j operating for the general welfare. If the boll weevil will make the peo ple see the good and the necessity of pulling together and not each man svith his hand at his brother's throat tor his own self-aggrandizement th weevil may not be such a terrible 2vil after all. Read the proceedings :)f the yaeting. J THE BAPTIST STATE COXYEX TTftV. j It was two years ago that the peo ple of Newberry had the pleasure of entertaining the Eaptist women of the State in convention assembled. It was an ispiration and a blessing to lave so many consecrated women so-1 lourn with us for a week and the good j influences they set in motion will W? :>n doing good for years to come. This week we nave me no nor oi Hav ing the Baptist men in convention ivith us planning ani working for the uplift and betterment of mankind. They represent a hundred and fifty :liousand Baptists in the State of South Carolina. Think of the great j ivork they can and are doing for the betterment of the human race. And svhat even greater work they coula io if there were perfect cooperation' md every one doing his part and car-1 ving his share of the burden. I am sorrv that i could not attend j he sessions of the convention so as o have learned of the work of these 3aptists. I have managed to get a ew snaps at them and have heard U8t a little of the reports and tht i alks. I had the pleasure of hearing ust a little of the report of the boaru )f education. I was very much in erested in one section of that repori. it was recommended that instead of ;rying to raise big endowments for ;he colleges of the denomination thai :he schools be put in the "budget just as was missions and the other Dperations of the church. That the I endowment of these schools be laia j upon the hearts of the members of the | church and that instead of paying | big sums of money for an endowment that the people keep the money ana pay the interest themselves to tflt schools each year. In that way it was argued it would bring the schools nearer and dearer to the hearts 01 the people. The idea is a correct one md one that we suggested years ago is to our own Newberry college. The schools of the church, denominational if you so desire to call them, or the Christian colleges, are the leaver which is to save the citizenship ol the State and this is said with noth ing but the kindliest feeling for the State institutions. But in my opinion the tendency is too much to educate, ( iway from that _ foundation whicn j must be the corner stone which is tu j save the building of the State. And the enthusiasm with which that proposi-; tion was accepted showed that the brethren meant to bring their schools closer to the people. That is what we want to do in this democratic coun-j try of ours. The Christian citizen ship of this country is to be fostereu and saved through the Christian col leges of the country and if the time ever should come when the people fail to support these institutions it will be a sad day for the State ana the country. The action of the con vention on this important proposition augurs well for the future. I understand that the convention passed resolutions endorsing the pres ent State administration in its efforu to enforce the law and to have la* md order, and then*nearly'every mem ber made a apeech deploring the great lawlessness that was prevalent over the State at the present time, | and decided to memorialize the legis lature to do something to prevent it. It is just like I heard the Rev. Mr. Crain, the mountain prtacher. say, the passing of resolutions and the making of big speeches will not aceomplisn the results, and he was not discussing any action of the convention, but was talking generally. You have to gei; down to the people and find out whai: they are thinking about and wha'.' their sentiments are, and then you must show them the right way, but in order to do so you have to get dowu among them and understand them and not stand afar off and maKe nigu i sounding speeches and pass resolu tions. And neither can you do it : passing laws by the legislature. You can't have any influence by asking that laws be passed to punish a man for making or selling liquor and then turn around and buy it from him. Ho won't have much faith in your siu cerety or your manhood or your hon esty. Sincerety and honesty and frank ness are the things to practice wheu you deal with the people if you wani what you say to have influence. Anu you want to do what you preach. Several of the brethren have been to the college and made talks to tnc students. Through the courtesy 01 Mayor Wright I had the pleasure 01 being at the exercises on Wednesday morning when talks were made by President Poteat and the Rev. Mr. Crain, the mountain preacher who comes fresh from the people and who is doing a great work among thu mountain people because he under ni-n-nAo + >1 am Qnd bnAU'q A n d PPfS OldUUO Uiiy ?? w? V&AV. 0?w down to them and talks straight and honest with them. These talks at the college were enjoyed by the student body and I am sure I enjoyed the two I had the pleasure of hearing. But as I said I have not had tnfc pleasure of attending the sessions ol the convention and am only writing some observations and not criticisms oifhor t om triad these eT>od msn from all parts of the State have sojourned with us if for only a few days and 1 am sure the influence they leave will be felt in the betterment of the com munity for years to come.
