TnoeHsv February IS. 1917 THE SEWJSEKiiY SUPPLY MLJL The Herald and .News puuiisiies Va this issue tne copy ot tiie supply uiii introduced by our members m tho legislature, and it will pass aa tae> ue&ire it, anu we suppose as intro duced. The levy remains tu= samts. That is good if it would bring in suffi cient revenue to run the county. But it will not and the delegation knows it will not. It win not meet the ai> propriations they themselves ma??* Tlien why make the appropriations if you are not going to provide the i money to meet tnem. The State has' been doing the same thing lor Uio past iew years and as a result theit; is a deheit of a million and a quarter dollars. The county is aatnorued t.-> borrow $2(>.COO which is not In eluded in tlie supply bill and a small levy is made in addition to pay it and Uie interest. 'ine county iias been running on a credit for several months ana now the authority is giv en to borrow $25,4)00 to run on ana that is not enough. to meet the appro priations. I The total appropriations in the till are $43,6SO.OO. A four and a half levy j will bring in about $33,O-OO.uO. Tl:ei> is vprv little income aDart from the levy and how it Is expected to meet an appropriation of $43,000 with an income of $33,000 we do not see. It will be noticed that the interest item j for money borrowed is $2,000.00 ana' every year as the debt increases the! interest charge will be more. We1 guess it is good business to make the! county operate on a credit and then i borrow money at the end of the year! to meet the expense, but we can't see' it. Our representatives are gooa business men and we know that wt| are not. We notice a considerable increase Avnnnca fVa /viiiri'ftr KniM ' ill tuu VI cut* I U . of education. Heretofore the amount j has been $46.00; this year the bill says $500.00. Maybe their duties ana labors have been increased. ' ! We notice from the American Prest* that the Federal Trade Commissioii has arranged to get news print paper, f. o. b. mill in rolls at ?3.10 and it lb: stated that the prico for flat paper should not be more than 25 or sw cents nisner. me siock is i-'e.im ui?-; tributed to newspapers that have no reserve supply aiifi the- quantity at the disposal of the commission is limited. If a full car load is requires applicatfon cculd be made direct to the commission. What has beromo of *;.e Press Association committee of which Mr. A*. B, Jordan was made chairman? it should be an easy mat ter to get an order for a car load of fiat paper from papers that have no reserve supply, and that price Is about fitfy per cent below the Jast quotation we had. i The American Press sussests that it would be a good idea for country newspapers to cooperate and order iii car load lots. That is what w>i thought "vvas the purpose of the com mittee that was appointed at the meet ing of the Press association in Co lumbia several months ago, but we can't hear anything from that com mittee. Talking about the price of cotton Hon. Fred H. Dominick has a cotton bill made out January 33, 1869, for tunuu suiu lu ij. v>. rviuier ut r 105 I.-evel. The bale weighed only 37i pounds but the total received for it is $101.71, less weighing 25 cents. Thw price pa'd was 27 1-S c. per pouna. And now an exchange wants tile interstate commerce commission to be clothed with power to regulaie hotel rate?. The idea of government control is going strong these days.? i Anderson Mail. ^ Correct you are. ThisTSea has beeu j going strong for some time now.! It wont be long at the present rate i before everything will be government, i controlled and" we all will be wo 'lin.^, for the government. And we win De ! fed by the government. Ana then n?-j less history fails to repeat itself the; whole fabric will fall and a govern- j ment by the people and for peoplu i will be a failure. We saw a headline in a paper the i rvthpr caid hdida fna-ri in t tliis State was planning a new hotei,! out somehow it does not seem to -is! that the item was from Newberry, ana : really we do not recall to have he^rd 1 even a very small noise which sound- ' ed like a new hotel building in New berry even with all the skyscraper buildings we have seen built in uie newspapers. And really, it would not hurt Newberry to have a new hote;. In fact, we are inclined to think that it would be a good thing, and do you j know that the best and the biggest j asset that Greenwood has is the fine j hotel which is hers, and the business j men went down in their pockets and : put the up the building. Of course, a building does not make a hotel, "but it goes a mighty long way, and so fai that even the best of hotel men can not make a hotel without a right sort of building, because the comfort ol steeping goes as far with many peo ple as the comfort of eating. The appropriation bill for the .State tMs year is nearly two hundred thousand dollars more than it wat> last year, and there ia no expense for 'lections to be provided this year. i And the war is threatened also. Ii' there had been no war scare there is 110 telling what the appropriatiou : would have been. vVe hope no sheriff will provoke our j governor to anger this year. When ' Joe Ashley made his excellency lose j his temper he ordered out the militia J a^d it cost tlie State ten thousand I dollars. It was not necessary, and a| governor should not be so easily pro-; voKeu to anyer. J 1ST A LITTLE 30)KE SUOP. j We have a iew names on our lisi that are still in arrears for the reason j that they have either written or phou ed that there was some error arm they would be in soon and get the matter straight. Please attend to this at once as we do not intend to Have i any arrears on the list. We want to j get these off. We would prefer to j any tsuuaui luui a. jcai man <,u j cut him off if lie had paid even two , months in advance. We always give t the subscriber the benefit of tne doubt, so if you are one about whose j proper credit there is any question j please attend to ii at once and '*ej> will take your word for the propti i rrpf? it We took oil all who had not paid to! * the first of February regardless, ana J ; the 15:ti will be here after the nex\ issue, and those whose time goes out on the 15th should renew this weeK. ; because after the next issue" all who ] do not and vvho?evtime is out on the 1 ? *? 11 rrAf r> tt* n 'i' V\ <. ! itUii v\ 111 5^1 iiv ??a\jikz pauti. 111c j price of paper does not come down and we must have the cash to keep the ghost walking. We are somewhat like our Cousin Paul Haltiwanger. When he sold on credit he credited most any one. but when he went on cash basis he turn ed down an order of John L. Mim naugh for $1.40 when Mimnaugh'fe order was good for a round half mil lion or more. When we were on crea it we would send the paper to any one who would give us his name ano address and promise to pay. Now we are on cash basis and the richest ( man's promise is no better and worth x no more than the poorest. It is th*j j cash and not the promise to pay that ^ makes the ghost walk. Every one ] treated just the same. c We are going to make the .best f newspaper we know how, and that is 1 some paper, but we must have thb t money or there will be no paper. * The cost of sending the militia to Anderson according to a special mes sage of the governor was $ 10,312.1b, and he asks the legislature to pro- i vide for its payment. s The papers Saturday bring the new., from Washington that it is not ftkelv that President Wilosn will ask the congress to declare war. We do not think that this country should be made to go to war simply because some fool American may gei on a belligerent ship and get his head blown off. SUCCESSFUL MGHT SCHOOL AT ST. PHILLIPS In many respects tie most success ful night school of Newberry county has been taught by Miss Ola Bijpwn at St. Phillips. The pupils have been in-: structed in agriculture several times by Mr. T. M. Mills. This school wih complete soon the twelve-night ses sion planned, but may continue to run if the farmers and teacher do noi become too busy preparing for plant ing and for Field day. Many of the most intelligent men of the county have been members 01 the school and have given it a highei tone; while all have found that much* is yet to be learned from one anothei, irurn me lencuer, ana irom dooks ana g bulletins. The feeling o? fellowship g and of ownership of the school has been a greater result than the learn ing acquired. In spite of bad weather thirty peo ple have often attended, twenty-six have enrolled and sixteen have attend ed on an average. Since the enroll-, ment has gone above twenty, the school is entitled to an additional teacher. The membership is aa fol lows: Messrs. George Shealy, H. A. Crumpton, B. C. Banks, H. H.

Sensational White Sl&re Pictnre Com In4rr\ i wtorla lug vi/ iiivour. While "The Little Girl Next Door," ' which comes to the Arcade theatre for one day. February 29, is an intensely interesting and entertaining rilm drama that will please every audienco, it contains a lesson that is stronger han any sermon E%ery mother ann ' father, it is btV'eved. will want iheir Tfnn-n lln Ml tl .1 r?>71 t/-l CPA H T'lP nil* uro makes perfectly clear the duties of the pare.'is an>l the pitfalls of lit; sniorant. Hov,w.vei\ thore is absoi'ite v nothfriir to d the most .-:easi ive. As a :::a*ter of fact "The Little Giri Vcxt Door' is a story from life, so to .-peak; for it was based upon the ftna ngs in tlr ' oport of the Illinois vice rcmmission. Realizirp: the <roo<] to nt btained from the picturizing of the ncidencs contained in this roporu ome of the leading workers, such as rice President Marshall, Speaker "namp Clark, Congressman James ?Iann, Lieut. Gov. O'Hara, Mayor rbompson of Chicago, and a number f other prominent officials, ministers ind social workers personally appear n the picture. In almost every case hese prominent personages gave their rloa of the vice Question, and most ol hese people figure directly or indi ectly in the story itself of "The Lit le Girl Next I>oor." After completing a run of 12 weeks ; it the La Salle theatre, Chicago, 'Tht> kittle Girl Next Door" was bookeo >ack for another long engagement in ' Chicago, and this same record wab i nade in Cincinnati, Cleveland, San' Francisco and the other large cities vhere the picture has so far played.' ^robably no play or photoplay has re- ] eived such enthusiastic indorsement ! rom people of all classes, and per- ! laps no play or s'ory will serve better o open the eyes of the public to the greatest of all evils, the traffic rcung girls by white slave traderb.
