Yes, we talk a littl shop in the editorial column sometimes, and we say something about our subscrip tion list, and it is said to those of our subscribers with whom we want to have a little talk. 'JEiose who are not interested need not read it. They can^just "skip it over" as Th? Idler would say. There is a lot of other good things in The Herald and News that will entertain and instruct and give information as well. And we want to say no.v tnat our 'list has been corrected up to date, so far as we know, and if there are still errorB we would be very glad to know so tfiat the corrections may be made. We expect to freep the list corrected ourself. All whose time was out on the first have been taken off unless they paid and those wliose ' time pjcpires on the 15th will g<? off alter this issue unless payment is made. We cannot send notices just now and we ask you to look at the label on the paper after your name and if it is not further in the future than the 15th of January, 1917, bet ter renew if you do not want to miss an iasae. If this does not conceru you why just skip it. But if it do .s better read it and heed it. .The Abbeville Medium has submit ted the question, "What does Abbe Yille' moat, need?" to the people ofi the'good old town and requested them' to answer. The editor has received J two" replies. One is paved streets' and the other is a hospital. So it1 would seem that there are other towns ; that need paved streets. What do! the people of this community think! the town most needs at this time?' There is no greater need than improv- 1 ed streets. A- hospital would be a great thing, no doubt, but we are so close to Columbia that we doubt the! i _c x i. ?. * I wibuum ih trying 10 esiaDiisn a nos pital here and expecting it to be suc cessful. . Of course, it would do a great deal of good and there are those who possibly cannot go to Co j lumbia who need a hospital within reach. What do you think, reader, is j tiie pressing need of this town at this . time? j 1 We cannot see the wisdom of giv-! ; ing a governor?mind you, we say a j : governor?and, therefore. \ what we > 1 say is purely-impersonal, the power j j to remove all peace officers who are; 1 elected by the people, because he may! i at some time think they are not do- i < ing their duty in the enforcement of i the law.

The offic John m. kinard, f directors: 0. b. is not in position to know the condi- ! lions liKe the man on the ground. And i we do not hold to the view that the ! governor, or a governor, is held as the only officer in the State respon-1 sible for the enforcement of the laws of the State. If so, why elect sher iffs and have other peace officers. Why not do away with local self-gov prTiniPnt tho f/w^rrmr anrirtinf all peace officers and others to en force the law. Why let the people have any voice in the selection of any officer except the governor. It wcuM be too much power to place in tii hands of any one man who is still human. Nor do we believe that it would be wise for the legislature to follow the recommendation of the -governor and give to a governor a State constabu lary. We do not see the need of it and it would give to a governor the chance to build up a political ma chine that would be dangerous to .the liberties of the people. So long a=> the people are human there are going to be tho>>e who will violate law. In fact there are so many laws now ; that even the be6t of men violate some law almost every day, and many times without the knowledge that they are violating any law. But there will he those who will voluntarily ( violate the law for their own aggran-' dizement, as " they may think, and there will be the strong to oppress; the weak, as there has always beeu. That is the tendency of human nature. And for that reason government is formed to protect the weak and to protect people in the enjoyment of their liberty and their property. But there are a few people who have gone just a little bit daft on the fad of law enforcement, and they seem to think that there must be an army of consta bles to enforce law. If we would depend mor?. on the local authorities and let them understand that they were to enforce the law there would be less violation. We want to be sane on this question just as we should be on all others. j ; ! ^ An air tights prohibition bill has 1 been introduced in the legislature. 1 That's it, let's h$ve it air tight, bomb 1 proof, and allow none of the-vile stuff 1 to come within our borders. An$ 1 then take out these extracts that hav* 3 from fifty to ninety per cent of al- ] cohol. Stop the stuff from coming in and then punish the fellows who; attempt to bring it ,in. The Abbeville Medium now conrs j at tim^s with only four pages. That , is right. In these times of high ; prices of paper it is no use to waste ?ood paper just to have a number or' pag->s. 'What we should do is to give' the reader a good paper and carry: all the n?w-s and ads that we can, and < "hat the community should have, and 1 if it takes four, six, eight or twelve 3r more pages why use thrm. Thar i is what The Herald and News ex-nects to do.

F. Wright, L. - - - The Spartanburg deleg^ion in the ] legislature is making an effort to do I something for Spartanburg. A mil-1 lion dollar bond issue for roads, a1 sixty thousand dollar bond issue for ; c a hospital, and a county board of t health, are some of the propositions 1 that they have under way. And by : f the way, that is the way to have a < hospital if Newberry wants one. Let i it be a county affair. > The governor's message is right on [ the educational question when lie ' says that taxation for schools cannot j do the boy or girl who is out of school 1 any good, and that the time has come 1 for a State wide compulsory atten- 1 dance law, and had he stepped there * he would have been on safe and sane ? ground, but he goes on to say that it should have a provision to permit 1 districts that are not prepared for u 1 or that do not desire it to vote them- ( selves exemnt. The trouble about * that is that the districts that proba- * bly stand in the greatest nefd of a 1 compulsory attendance law would 1 be most likely the ones to vote the v exemption. No, we should have u ( State wide compulsory law and there * should be no exemptions, acd if there 1 are districts that are not prepared for it then they should prepare, and c if.they are too poor to prepare then r the State should help them get ready. 8 The law we have now so far as fts a effects or results go is just as good ^ as no law. We think there are a few * districts in this county that have * voted a compulsory attendance, but - there is no difference in the attend- c ance, and there is no one to s-^e that the law is enforced. The only sood f the present law can do is to help c crystalize public sentiment in favor . F of compulsory attendancp. Any law b at first should not be too drastir in t it's provisions, but whatever law there' 1' is it should be State wide without o provisions about voting exemptions f In districts or by districts. e That is the way it anpears to u? t an'd that is the new we *ave held , t for many years. If you take the peo-j ? pie's money to educate the children j S then you should require the parents t to see to it that the children are giv-1 t en the advantages of th? education [ h furnished. Gov.

Here i rve wish to offer live suggestions: j * 1. Paint the farm buildings. Paint j i osts comparatively little, but it a:Ms , * mmeasurably to the appearance of i h.? place. Not only this, but painting I s true economy; money spent for j , jaint means insurance against loss ' rom decay, no less than does mocev . pent for fire insurance mean insur- , nice against fire losses. jj 2. Plant grass, dowers and trees, n land where we may have green awns the year round, ve have too )fter. been content with hard-baked. ;arren yards instead of carpels or ?reen; vn a land of flowers, we have ised these all too little to add to the >eauty of our farm homes; with a. vvalth of beautiful trees to draw up >n, the cool treo-bordered lane or he avenue of pecans or oaks leading ip to the farm home is all too rare. 8. Pnt in waterworks. As a saver if labor, tirr<l ba-cks and worry, run ling water is one of the greatest of .11 boons. Systems may be installed .t a cost ranging from $18 up, and whatever the cost, within reason, the nvestment is a good one. M'hy not alk-,th.-^ waterworks question witn JCs-v+Vis... * ~ J.. ..
