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

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

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
