Mr. Lever is out against Speaker * Champ Clark for Democratic floor leader and does not want any one -who dogis not fully agree with, and to tally endorse President Wilson.

We do not believe than \ President Wilson would care to have any one, who would just tamely agree with everything he said and did. We should have a man as floor leader it. seems to us who had some mind of his own. We should think that Mr.:? Clark is a pretty good Democrat and ' * man of more than mediocre ability ?or he would not bave been sent to congress as loii?g as he has and Jie ' would not hav? been chosen speaker *v . v?* / n of tie house by the Democrats.

We need something to build roads and the people would be willing to pay the price if they could get the assurance that the roads would be built i if the money was put up. . Mr. Tidmarsh is entirely correct in the statement in his communication paMfshed elsewhere that The Herald -and News did not intend to do injus tk? to the cotton manufacturers. 01\ the contrary we have on intention to do injusice to any one. And we are pleased to be informed that the man'ofactnrers are cooperating with the " Ittoducers in an effort to secure a fair -T ?ad Just price for the cotton growers. ( # *- Tte Herald and News is always ready *i? be corrected if a mistake is made, -or if any injustice Is done any one or ^aay enterprise. Our purpose always i* to help any enterprise or any inWastry or any individual. The pur">o?4>f everything we have said is to get the cooperation of all the force3 ia the community and to help the producer get a fair return for his labor, because we all know that this is the foundation of the prosperit; and happiness of the country. Bi: r-oniebody somewhere has been niakinj a desperate effort to force the prici of cotton down. There certainly evoi now is no overproduction of cotton The world needs the cotton. With th price of other things cotton below ? cents the pound is too cheap, th cotton last year cost the produce more than that to make X. The man ufacturer can not make cloth belo\ the cost of manufacture and keep tin wheels of the mill rolling. The farm j ei can not go on producing cotto* below cost without mortgaging th farm and eventually losing it if hi persists in such a course, me man ufacturer certainly made good mone: last year and the producer of th raw material will not ma^e any if hi has to sell his cptton below 30 cent: the pound. If the producer holds to the cotto* he has and arranges to plant less thi: year so that there will be no ove production and that he may get i little more than the cost of producing maybe the price of goods win agar go up so that the manufacturer ma: make a profit and pay the cost o making the raw material, but h< should not expect such profits h< made the past year. It was out o proportion to the profit which th farmer would have even if the pric ?? x- Ai. ~ -0 snouia go wj out; minimum ui ?. cents set by the cotton convention?. Cooperation is our watchword am a fair and just deal to all interest is our motto, and we do not intern to say or do anything that would d< injustice to any one or any enterprise The cotton mill is worth a whole lo to any community, especially sue] as we have in this county where th< n,??aoianiant l'o en W?11 WMnlllfitAfl ar.f AaOltd^ViUVAiV ?W WW ?* V?* so much interest is taken in the hel] . and in all things that are for the goo; of the community. I i - 'ft . Speaking of the extra session o the legislature and the \straw yob tlMpH Mr Wilson Gibbea srot fron the members The State on Monda: published a symposium of the views ol the members who sent in repliei to Mr. dibbes as to their views on thi extra session and also on the gooi roads proposition. Of course some of the member have not answered Mr. Gibbes am some of them are non-committal. Th< State says that the majority sent* ment is not in favor of an extra ses sion yet "the members by a wide mar g;n express themselves of the opto ion that good roads legislation -wouli be Enacted, were the general assem hlv called harlr in session " Replies from two of the \Tewb^rr members are published. Dr. J. W Folk is quoted: "Opposed to extr session. Members would not agree He would support a commutatio: road tax of $10 instead of $2., and law which would retain for eac county every dollar it contributes. .Mr. Mowers: "Xot voting,' was the re Ply." The State .says that nearly $4,000 <XK> of federal aid has been apportion ed to South Carolina for permanen road improvement and that more thai $2,300,000 is available by July 1 o the current year and what is no taken by the State failing to put up it proportion will revert to the feders treasury. Of course as we under stand it some of th^s federal mone; can be secured in the counties wher bonds or other revenue has been pro vided for permanent road work;. Th government plan is to furnish federa aid only where there is State ai equal to the fedeial aid and the wor of supervising the building of t-i road is under the federal govern men but that would probably insure more efficient service and bette roads. We certainly need that somethin should be done to give us a bett* system of roads and better road There is no better investment thj car made than to put money ! roud And we should be delightc to see the movement well under wa; We do not believe however that muc progress would be made or anythir worth while accomplished in that d rection by the calling of an exti / session of the legislature. a v\ THE SOITH'S NEW DAY. 2 r| Has it come? Is it approaching? fj We hope so. Thir*y-one years ai?o $ e? ; Henry Grady of Atlanta delivered a | 11 speech in New hngland which made a b I more lasting impression possibly v n ? e the country than any one speech ever 3 delivered by any human being. 1c r ej marked the dawn o? what was then | rj termed the new South, and it con- K - tained truths and statements which E v are invincible, and which it would do g c ; well to recall at this time. i - i Thoro iroe npvpf a irrpfltpr trn + 'i 9 1 contained in the same words than th3 8 R following brief extract from that B great speech, for a great speech it " was. We Wi'sh every farmer who * reads this, and every other one who 2 could hear of it, would make it a part 5 of hi9 creed, and if be would, tnen in H 3 fa/Ct would the new^day dawn, and I J until it is made the creed of the 1 Southern farmer there jfi\\ neve;* 3 dawn a new day for the South. We f wish every one would clip this from 1 the paper and put it up somewhere ' where he could see it every morning 1 before he went out to his field. y Listen: ? "When everv farmer in the South 0 e shall eat brei^l from his own fields a 5 and meat from his own pastures and 8 j disturbed by no creditor, and enslaved H by no debt, shall sit amid his teem- Q e ing gardens and orchards and vine- fl e yards, and dairies, and barnyards, 9 ~j pitching his crops in his own wisdom 1] and growing them in independence, jg ^ making cotton his clean surplus, and jg selling it in his own time, and in his I chosen market, and not at a master's g * bidding?getting his pay in cash and I ^ mAitf ar<)<va ^Viof rliCJ- H ' XiUL >U & JCUCI^lCU mvi tgagg iiiu't Uio > charges his debt, but does not restore B t Ills freedom?then shall be breaking gj the fullness of our day." ^ 9 Cotton reduction and cotton hold- H ^ ing is a good thing and the right B p thing to do just now, but these things I j are only temporary and can not be I enduring. The only way to bring a I new day for the South and commer- I rial and financial freedom for . the I ' southern farmer is tor>adopt and to I ? follow the creed contained in Henry I 1 Grady's great speech. ? 5 ; 4 5 The State of South "Carolina * bor1- - rowed a million and a. balf dollars \ 1 from the Palmetto National Bar.!: ot > v Columbia and naid a rate of 3.70 for ? s ? the money and that was considered 1 a good loan by the papers. The T 2 county of Newberry borrowed forty six thousand dollars from the Nation- (j - al Bank of Newberry and- paid a rate J of 2 7-8 per cent for the same. At s - torney Hollo way and Supervisor ? i Samnle and President Bud Matthews^; - sliould go down to Columbia and tell (C them fellows down there who are j y handling the State finances how to J r do financing for the people and how a to get cheap money. They are not on Ci. their job properly. ^ n J ~ } Judge Prince in commenting on tho , .. presentment of the grand jury re< minded the jurors that the*'r of^ce continued for a year and that they were as mtrch officers and grand jurors while at their home and durf 'ing the interim of the courts as they C .1 were while they were in actual at|?. tendance upon the sessions of the f t court. He also made the statement w ? that he knew of no law which could J a > Ij separate a mother from her son or a son from his mother. v Y j 7 > e ? B:g preparations are being made j ' in Columbia for the recepuon and ^ entertainment of the toys of the 30th c Hivicimi nn thpir arrival from over ^ d " " " ? seas. They are expected about the j k 2&th of this month. It is right and N 0 proper to- give these boys a ri^ht roy? al reception. From the reports received over hei e they were in the midst >r of the fighting and had some real taste of war and hardship. * I s The public road from Newberry to it Prosperity is certainly in an awful j in condition and needs that something id be done. We suppose everything is y. at a stand still on this section of < -h road awaiting the relocation so as to LS avoid grade crossings, but a little' ^ i-. work would make it comfortable un. | j a til the new road is really located and 1 i ? built. It is a much traveled road. | Halfiwang' I! I | We are please* I complin* f A ivuauj -iu Mil! r? nspscmiy art the leaiy sales which proves tb ! m~\ a A , V ' .
