Make it a better j>lace in which to live. Say some thing good about your town and the people who live in it. You will feel feetter.

These are machines that "were bought by the E. H. Aull company and ti when that company wae sold out j tiiey were bought by the Newberry! tj. Savings Bank. The bank kindly per- j tc mitted us to use them until they were disposed of. Some time ago the bank T sold them and the purchaser has been; g1 here moving them aw ay. They are;m good machines and money makers if j you have the business to keep them j busy, but if they stand idle four- j fifths of the time they are expensive.! We had an idea some years ago that! we would like to have a big print-! y( ? _i ! S jug piaui ixi i>trvv uci ij, auu vim. ? do a great deal of work from outside, \tc tout we never had the encouragement! tc and support here at home to make, w the dream possible. Our plant wis tc too expensive for the town. These ^ two machines were bought when we| printed ti:e South Carolina Pythian,) but have not been of much service since that publication was moved no away. Even then the local lodge did: ti not encourage us in the work of the a: nrmtinc the naDer and always or gen- tv erally voted to kill it when the ques- Gj tion came up in the grand lodge. | t< : Now it is our purpose to devote a; our time to the printing of The Her- j b aid and News and small lines of job b work. We expect to make The Her-| aid and News the best newspaper ev- j fr er- printed in this State, but It is ti ottr idea to devote our energies to B "developing the local news field and ? covering it thoroughly. In Mr. R. H. Greneker we have the best local man! that ever worked on a country news-j paper, and if you want to keep up, . with the lnral hannernne"? in this! community you will have to read The J D Herald and News. ! We lost money in the years gone' in printing books of local history and i in sending The Herald and News to people who never paid for it but nev er again will this happen, "take it from me," and if you want the paper send along the price. We published the Annals of New berry, the History of Edgefield and Dickert's History of Kershaw's Bri fV?A PVio nm ^uuv auu wuc v^Jua^Luau o OViivvi nio~ J tory of South Carolina, and lost mon ey by so doing and never even got the thanks of the people, but we are glad we did it and would probably do the same thing if we had to go tl along the same road again. j n But now our energies will be de-1 ic vo'ad to The Kerald and News. A.nd T we can make some paper. i s< ^ j c. A SEW JAIL. | * The county delegation held a meet-| ^ ing in Newberry to talk over local' *' matters with the county officials. That ^ is well. j $ There are two things that should j be done. One is to provide a suffi- i cent income to meet tlte expenses of: the county and stop borrowing money j n: and making county officials and oth-1 L er$ who do work for the county wait ^ for their money. j al Another is we should have a new j e< jail. It is not right nor humane to >1 nris/uipre; in thp unsnrntflrv C t * ? t jail which we now have. Some one has, m suggested we understand that the c( matter be referred to the people, j 4 Well, if there was any serious oh-j J. jection on the part of the people you lo would have heard from some of them J. before this. We think it was the Ob- j B! server that wrote an article sonr time' R ago advocating the building of a new \ W jail and asked if there was any one who objected to come along and say 1 so and that the columns of the paper' 1 would be open to him to state his at objections. Xo one has replied and ! that should be taken as an evidence H that there was mutual consent and al approval of the proposition. ; la To have an election would take El take time apd cost the people money H and we are satisfied there would be P? very little if any objection to the proposition for a new building. Ev- st ery one concedes the necessity for it. w< If we had waited to submit the mat- E; ttri iu tat; pcupic ?e ?vum not now have the beautiful new court house which we have, and there is no one to object or kick against that building. iGi The presidents of the State colleges held a meeting in Columbia the <>thei day to consider the question of frej tuition and the scholarship m.atterf Well, it is better late than never. re glad that these matters are now > have the attention of thos<? in au lority. We helieve it was Senator erner from Oconee who stirred up le matter in the legislature a short me ago and then the whole tIJng as turned over to the State boc.rd f charities and they are investigat lg and reporting. Some twelve or fourteen year? ago :hen this editor was a member of tie legislature we introduced a bill > auuusil lUlUULl c?tti"6es 111 Ciii oicwic istitutions and also to aboli3h schol rships. We really failed to set a ivorabie report from the commitroe n the bills. Now the college presi ents think it is the right thing to o, and it is. The tuition charge is farce and the s^cholarships scarcely ver reach those who are really in eed of help. But we took the posi ion, and hold the same view today, hat any boy or girl in Soath Caro na who is prepared to enter th,? reshman class of any college an^ has tie capacity to take an education can :et it without State aid and In so oing will be the better for it. And so few paid tuition then th*: . r? aa 1 vaiijr lcm vivui wv jiu ? v uch law on the books, and encourage o many good people to make false tatements or at least statements iat were not true, in order to save few dollars. It was not good for ae citieenelvp r.:e 3*ate. The ita: ? . . 10 adopt an act abol arsnips meant the abo v .uacitution. Not at ailj tai jiah'e llv? "pproiiriation direct for o maintenance. The presidents still old to the view that the abolition f these scholarships would mean the bolftion of the institution or we resume they do by not asking that iese be also abolished. It is a pleasure to us to see that iese college presidents are beginning catch up with us. And that they ( re seeing in the right direction. | here is really not much use for the tate board of charities but if it has' .ade these college presidents to see. le right way it has not been entire- j in vain. The Herald and News received late ssterday afternoon a statement from i heriff Asheley of Anderson in regard > the strike situation.
