A FOREWORD.
I am an optimist by nature. I can't
help it. 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

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

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.

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

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,

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

and will appreciate it if our

that are worth while and they
will receive prompt attention. j

'News a real county paper, and we

from every section of the county. It
shall be our purpose to stand for
everything that it is good and for the

' 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

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.

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,

" ...
They are twins. Don't take youraeif
and others too seriously Be ihappy.
It's easy. Just make some one else
happy and you'll get your money's
wort fy." That's the doctrine we are
here to preach and we are going to
preach it. We are going to stand for
the right as we see it.
Cooperation is oar slogan. Cooperation
for the moral and commercial
benefit of the people of this community.
If you will permit us we
will cooperate with you in every good
work, and if you do not we will go
on in the good work any way. There,
are great problems to solve in the
making of tihe new world and in the
reconstruction period following the
great war, and the country .news
paper can be of great aid to the people,
and that is our purpose. 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.
Don't you think so. Yir. Merchant?
