Tuesday, January 16, 1917.
. 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!

pital here and expecting it to be suc

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 .

say is purely-impersonal, the power j j

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.

Mayer, Z. 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. McSweeney in his. a
message sixteen years ago recom-1 -v
mended the passage of such a law and u
went into the matter to some extent, j d

I YE THINGS EVERY FARM
HOME SHOULD HATE
With more money for our staple (
'rops than we have ever before ob
ained, the question of ho.w best co
nake use of jur prosperity, the things
or which we may to beat advantage
\pend some of our surplus funds,
s one well worth considering. 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

4. Install a ^od liffhtlmr system,

ome, though the -first cost is higher
han for other systems. Acetylene
Lghts, too, are excellent, and the cost i
if installing is considerably less than
or the electric ligh/s. If neither
lectrieity nor acetylene can be used,
here are improved kerosene lamps

hat can be depended upon to make
