I am Just built that way, and without speaking egotistically, I am glad that I am. It matters not how dark the night or how lowering and " - -* -1 T ? 1 or.fi OL8LC K LWS C1UUW>, 1 amajo icci auu Relieve that It will be morning, and the sun will fifrine and the birds sin? and the clouds will roll away and that somewhere and sometime it will be God's morning. For thirty-two years on the 7th of March Just gone I have been, at least nominally, a part own er of The Herald and News. On that daite W. P. Houseal and myself bought The Herald and News from A. C. Jones, Neither one of us had any money, but we had friends who were wiliing to lend a helping hand. I have been with the paper continuously since that date, and have been editor during the years. We were young then and the future looked bright and looking ahead 32 years ? l?n<? ^Jmo T rtnlrinir ha^lr. BCdUCU n U/ug wwv..ward it seems but as yesterday. They have been years of struggle and hardship, and many times the clouds hung overhead heavily, but I never lost faith or hope. There are very few people here no-vr in business who i were in business here then. Many changes have taken place. Many times it looked like we would be unable to meet the payroll, but we met it. And T do not recall that any one ever worked for the paper who has not been paid all that was promised. But we had the burden of debt. In looking back, I am proud of the boy? who learned the trade with us. It makes me feel good every time I go to Columbia to hear some in the craft who knows, speak of the good record the boys wbo learned to set type with, us, have made. And I believe that I can truthfully say that a large majority wl>n oAt thaiii viMi Tha VI bUV/OU TVUU W04V41 WbMft u n 4VU AMV Herald and News are loyal to tho ehop to this day. In dealing with the men who worked with us, I have alw<ays tried to put myself in their places and ask how I would like to be treated if I were in their place. And then to act accordingly. And always polite and courteous. And / whenever they were offered better places, however much I 'may have rej gretted to give them up, I have ad: vised them to take the better job. ; I Three great sorrows have come into my life (fri* \g the years, one the greatest that can come to anv man, but I have not complained or whined I have believed that it would be morning some day. The people o? ' Newberry have been kind. The Herald and Newfc lhas carried a debt since that famous 7th of March. The kindness of a few friends helped me to raise the first payment, and without calling names there is one of them who has been true during all the years and has been an endorser for me all the time, and has never by word or sign made me feel -that 1 was under any obligation to him. and there has never been a time when we cou?ld not get some one or more friends to endorse, if we needed the money, without asking for collateral. And with no expectation on their part ' "at they would 'have to pay the note There are others who have received our aid and help when they needed it who are not now on friendly terms.) We are sorry for them, because we have always tried to do the right,; and many times they have felt the < ood work of The Herald and News, but then some people are lacking in nppreciation when they think you can no 'longer be of service to them We have no feeling in the matter and will continue to do the right as we see it. ?o? In the changes which have come in all things, and the upheavals that are roing in the world, and the ^ hi:rh prices of everything, it i5; no longer ' ossible to conduct even a small " nintry newspaper without mcr^ ' onev than the management fo- th? ' 1st 30 years has had. It takes com* "ercial capital, I believe they call it, "id a sufficient amount which is necessary to make the ghost walk every ek. <o that you will have the sat' faction of being able to meet yonr ' "-ligati^n^ without <50 nirrh :ve pla:i:::::g hew T7:t': that i:i 4 * w I set about a few months a?o raise a new company with suffi' ut money, to operate the plant ar.'< vay the debts. In the moantV.n? my * r _.\u-l dec'(^?fI ho wovV] '"ft f*''"3 o'f"? ~ i that fitted all right. Through ? t" -> oarM^ity of eome friends most of the capital stock nec-f essary to do the job has been taken,; and the balance will be, so that al1 . the debts may be wiped out and the j day for which I have looked and i longed through many years will; j come, and I may De relieved or tee, { business and mechanical manage- j jment, and be able to devote whatever; j ability I may have to the editorial; j work. The fact is I am no good bua-J : ine&9 man any way, and a very poor | j collector, and I am glad to be re-' tfeved of the effort. I have made lots! of money, but being a good spender, and a poor collector it has made the iroad pretty tod sometimes. When' | we went on the cash basis some years 'ago I charged off some ten thousand 'dollars due on subscription by peoiple who had the paper come to them ' from one to 20 years without ever pavr for it, and since then less thau ;a if- dred dollars of that has besn ! collected. A new company has been ! formed, Herald and News, Incorpor 1 ated, and it has taken over the plant ; beginning with this issue, and a 'board of good business men has been I chosen to direct the buineeg end of | the corporation, and I hope and be lieve that it will be run on a business 'basis and that it will succeed. The ^ -> ? ??a? Tha jUUitriCf *Y cty LXrucu uu hKtbiuua/. A ?V 1 board consists of Henry B. Wells, B. C. Matthews, Harry W. Dominick, J. Walter Richardson and James L. Anil. The board &as elected H- B. ; Wells president, Harry W. Dominick ; secretary-treasurer and James L. I Aull general manager. I am go ins to remain with the paper of coursa !and will continue to do the editing and will give it the best work that I can do. The new machine about ! which we have been talking has been ; shipped and should be in by next : week, and then we will be able to handle aill the matter that is necesisary and will appreciate it if our friends will send 11s items- for publication that are worth while and they will receive prompt attention. j | As stated some time ago the policy ' ?Iv1 T(ha Woro 1 r? dTirl WlJIt ITC IV IIKULP AUO Mua 'News a real county paper, and we , hope to develop a series of letters from every section of the county. It shall be our purpose to stand for everything that it is good and for the uplift of the people of the county. We do not expect to have every one ; agree with us in all matters, but we iwiil be pleased to have differences of opinion expressed without malice or ; ill feeding on any and all subjects that aifert the welfare of the county." ' I ' In the change of management it t was the opinion of the management that one man should be able to edit. i t | the paper, and for that reason the [services of Mr. Greneker were dis-, pensed with. He was not "dismissed" or "discharged" in the offensive sense as his farewell would indicate. Every one knows that he is a good gatherer j of news in the local field, and I do i not expect to handle or gather asj much as he did. I can not help say-, in?, however, that I regret that hej felt he should write his farweli in i the tone and spirit that it appears to j me. i ten mat ior 'jils aatie il suu^u i ' not be printed, but I did not want, him to feel that any one desired in j the least to be unfair to him, and, j therefore, it was printed as 'he wrote j it. The Herald and News has been' good to him. He left <us once whenj he was offered more money, which j was all right, but when lie was laiai off from that position after a brief j service, he came back and we took j him in, and while we could have got-| ten along without him during the! 1 war, because we coutld not handle a great deal of matter any way, we did not lay him off, but carried him, 'through the war, and when the new management came along and did do! 1 so, I can not help but feel it -was a' little unkind and oinappreciative for i him to knock the bridge that had been carrying him along. But there is no feeling and I only wish him , v/ell. i ! I feel that the new morning has come for The Herald and News, and we are going to plav ball now. The new management is iroing after the business and the editor is going to do his nart to furnish a real and a live and up to date country newspaper. i Xow. maybe I should not have said some of tv;p, but I couldn't help it. and it is writ in the spirit that is look, ing for tlTe morning and with hope and frith fo the fir.ire. Our face is turned to the ri'-ing sun. and what we can " ' * - 1 - - r ^,, r<-) ; o r.^lT) IT.? ppc n:ti. CL L:*is tum' "M"Mrntv tv>'it -r\rr\ V."'!! (10 J1 ^ WO SP?

Help us to do it well. Elbert H. Anil. We have never seen where there was any advantage in the daylight saving law. Certainily there can be no use in moving up the clocks if we are not going to operate by the move. Many of the merchants have agreed to close their places of business at 7 o'clock, whereas under the old time they would have agreed to close at o'clock. Where Is there any daylight saving In this? If they go to work or open their places of business by the daylight saving bill and close by the old time it seems to us that they are getting an hour more frc i the help instead of giving- them p:i in tho nftprnoon tn rJn sarrlen work and help around the house and to be able to have a town garden and work it themselves. IT we are in earnest about the new regulation we should all agree to close at 6 o'clock by the new time. There is. just as much need this year for every one to have a garden as there was last year. Bacon and. flour and everything to eat is just as high as it was last year, if not a little more so. Now " the merchants "really mean to ?i"e the help as well as themselves a little lime in the afternoon to work the gp.rd^n th?y rhorH change their arrarpement a:vl close at o'clock.
