Friday, January 2, 1920.
The legislature meets on January
13. It will face a number of problems,
not the least of which is permanent
highways. Good reads can't be built
in a year, but a start can be made in
such a way ihat the building of them
will not bear heavily upon anybody.
Thp t.imp rinp frtf anivf* fnr,5h'nr
tive legislation.
The recommendations of the comptroller
general, which are called attention
to in our Columbia correspondence,
look tcwards getting the
state on a business basis. The plan
upon which the state government
has been run for a number of years
past would have been discarded at
the beginning by a business corporation.
The item of interest alone
which the state iy>w pays each year
on current indebtedness would not
be tolerated by a private corporation
under similar conditions.
We are very much inclined to
agree with Dr. W. W. Long of Clemson
college that the appearance of
, the boll weevil is rather a calamity
than a blessing in d;sguise. We agree
further with him that the South must
continue to raise cotton and that it is
the duty of all of us to do everything
possible to combat the* effects of the
weevil.
He makes another statement which
sounds very much like what The
Herald and News has been saying for
many years, and long before the boll
weevil was ever heard of in this section
at least, and that statement is
"that the only proper course for the
cotton farmer to uprsue, especially in
this section, is first grow on the farm
a sufficient supply of food stuffs to
make the farm self supporting and
then grow all the cotton you can.
Dr. Long surely has been a close
reader of The Herald and News. That
is the doctrine we preached when the
price of cotton .was at the lowest
point it ever reached in the history
of growing cotton. And a close observation
of the farmers who followed
that plan would reveal the fact,
that those who pursued that plan
were prospered and always had
ready money and plenty to eat and j
fat mules and fine cattle and good
hogs, while on the other hand the all i
cotton grower was generally hard up
all the time and never did get far
j
ahead in the world. It is good and ;
sound doctrine for the farmer of this j
section in the times of war as well
as peace, and when the boll weevil i
rages through the land and when he'
does not.

The resolutions adopted - by city
council are along the lines of pro-1
gress. If we are to go forward as a 1
town we must raise the revenue for:
the town. And the onlv way to raise !
it is by increasing the taxes and the!
issuing of bonds. We have a very low,
tax rate in Newberry compared with
other towns of similar size, and a
very small bonded indebtedness. We !
can never begin to grow until we
begin to spend money for public im-j
provcmer.ts. We must build some,

Over in Greenwood where they
have a lot of paved streets we think
tax rate is around five or six per,
cent for state and county and muni- j
cipal purposes, and they are building!
streets and making public improve-!
ments, and building county roads, j
By all means vote the $80,000 j
bond issue and ask the legislature to ,
amend the law so that we may issue j
more bonds and build some streets, j

in streets the people would demand
more.
It seems pretty certain that the
coming1 session of the legislature will
provide some system of road working
by which we may have some good
roads in this state. Some sixteen
years ago we tried to get through
the legislature a bill providing for the
issuing of bonds to build roads in
this state, but the members at that
time would not. All the time since
and before The Herald and News-has
been a consisitent and persistent advocate
of road improvement. It
looks now that the state is going to
do something to give us better roads.

NOT HALLEY'S COMET
Mr. Houseal Finds Error in Communication.
The State.
I?Ir. Brabham makes an error in his
article in The State of December 27
in regard to the comet which he sa\V
in such blazing splendor at dawn one
morning in the fall of 1884. It was
not Halley's comet which he saw.
His mistake is no doubt due more to
lapse of memory than the lack of
knowledge of fact. It was Pons
Brooks' comet which appeared in its
' npvihplinn nassa^e in January, 1884,
' and its greatest brilliancy was coincident
with the election of Grover
J Cleveland as president in November.

Halley's comet is a periodic comet 0
; like Pons Brooks' comet, but Halley's C(
did not appear in its last passage un- a
j til April, 1910, and it never did show
' any great brilliancy as a sky object.
It was really disappointing both to j c.
astronomers and laymen, for its com-1
ing had been heralded abroad as one
of the greatest events in the appearance
of any comet since 1S52, and the
disappointment in thexfaint and atten'
uated form which it presented in the f(
fall of 1910 was accentuated because m

history. It was named for Edmund
j Halley, the English astronomer, who
made such an accurate calculation of ^
! its orbit and announced its return in ^
11758, but he did not live to see his
prediction fulfilled as he died 1G
: years before the comet appeared on C1
time in its perihelion period of 76.03 a
years. Haliey identified this comet j a
as it had been pictured in 1036 in ths ! ~
Bayeux tapestry in which was illustrated
about a score of events con
- - "
neeted with the career cf William I
the Conqueror. The comet was given
' a prominent place in the Bayeux
tnpectry on account of the supersti- e
, tious belief that it had a-remarkable
i influence in deciding the battle of ^

The connection of wars with comets
; sfill a superstition firmly believed
y many people. They refer to the
act that the World war followed the
ppearance of Halley's comet, but as
lere have been about a score 01
eriodic comets alone which have
een seen since 1852 not to mention
liela's big comet and others which
love in parabola and never are exected
to return, there should have
een wars continuously during the
ast three score years.
However, I do not believe that any
ne living in 1986 will see Halley's
:>met on its next scheduled appear
nee. It had been knocked about by
le planet Jupiter since its previous
ppcarance in 1758 and 1834, when it
