That \ was right and proper, and we mention JI it to call attention to a statement :| made by Editor Greene in the Abbe- j ville Press and Banner in making note j of the event. He says the Baptist [ brethren invited a few prominent!. members of the other town churches,;: but restricted the invitations to those j who were out of debt themselves, and 1 then Editor Green adds, "We were invited." Possibly if he were not . also a very successful lawyer as well , as a fine editor he would have been : 1 unable to add that statement, and. ] would therefore have been debarred < from the supper. We are glad Editor l Greene was elegible to an admission i to the supper. 1 This editor can remember when ( the Baptist church at Abbeville was < very weak in number and wealth, and 1 there was a very small church build ing there, and at that time the con- } gregaticn was served by the Rev. Mr. i Pratt a very fine gentleman and a ( good preacher. We are glad to learn :? that the church has grown so much in t the years that have passed since those < days. | ( ? j] The Press and Banner of Abbe-! j ville is entering the tri-weeklv tield.! i i * "\^e congratulate it and the editor and ^ ni>Ani>iofr\y nnftn tVlic PvinPTlfP <~>"f S11P- i * I cess, and both deserve the success j ^ which thev have attained. jT ! 1 ? jn The editor of the Lexington-Dis-1 c patch News says that he thinks Swan- j J sea, a Nourishing "town in that coun- i 1 ty, should at once mstai an eiectric i lighting system, and gives as a reason that on a recent visit to the town he was walking along the streets one | \ night and fell and skinned his shins j and is thankful that he did not break!, his arm. It is too bad that the edi- j \ tor had such an accident, but you j * know sometimes such mishaps are not | ^ entirely due to the lack of light. And , then we suspect that the good people . of this good town go home when the! ^ shades of evening begin to fall, and j they have no need for lights on the j street at night.

You boys are getting out 4 a fine paper and we read it with i ^ much interest because especially of ^ our interest in the voung man who ii got his start in the office of The 1 Herald and News. We take pleasure ;1 in your success, and feel a sort of; personal interest in you. j1 ,il ? - i i _ : c The report 01 tne ranroaci comr.us- * sion states that G1 persons were killed .' and 1S4 injured, not including em- ? ployees, during 1019, mostly at rail- ?' road crossings. And as population ] increases and the use of automobiles ! increases the number of killed and in-, jured at these death traps will be in- J creased. For many years we have < constantly been an advocate of taking < out all the grade crossings, ana we ( are pleased to state that Supervisor! Sample has been instrumental in re- ' moving practically all of them be- 1 tween Newberry and Prosperity and 1 several between Prosperity and Little : Mountain. In fact when the road is ] completed there will be only one between Newberry and Prosperity, ' whereas before there were some 13, ' but fortunately there have not been 1 many serious act*lueius un a-u? vl these. They should all be removed wherever it is possible. wonc i:> tk'i: r r jdy Yea r ay tall: a id write and speak : about I'- h"; [i c c: ur '! ; your l;i:r " : t" e e\> ser:- < tion. ar.d the c.

Strikes and short hours and higher pay are not going to do the job. There was a pretty good illustra- 1 Hon in the funny paper on Sunday, in "That Son-in-law of Pa's." The son-in-law decided that he would put down the profiteering in milk, and i thus help to reduce the high cost of j living, so he proceeds to buy himself i a. goat. He put the goat in the cellar, but when father came home he found the goat upstairs in his room, and all i the clothes and shoes he had and i I everything else in the room about j eaten up by the goat. Pa came down :he stairs in a whirl heels over head ' md when Ma asked him why he had : lurried so, he pointed to the goat and . nnocently remarked, "There's th' j ] ;ause o' my hurry, goP blink it." Ma.1 explained that, "That is Cedric's plan ; :o beat the milk combine. He says i ?oats give much better milk than ; ] rows, and he's going to learn to milk j; rimself." Pa's reply or comment is | he point of this story: "Well, he's set j < limself some job. That goat's front j; tame is William." J; And that is the explanation of the I ] ;alk of profiteering and the com- j 1 jlaints of the high cost of living, j i rheir front name is "William" in the ! < lense and meaning in which the front lame of the goat is William, and , therefore will not produce a great leal of milk. j We need now above all times more I Droduction. The world is starving md this country can''save it, but it . an not be done by increasing wages md cutting down hours of work and striking and writing and talking. The )nly remedy is to produce more and ;he only way b/ which more can be j produced is to work more. _ .ore work , s the solution for the troubles that I - - 1 ,ve now have. And spend less. ; ?am j THE POWER OF THE PRESS. | I Mr. M. L. Spearman and Mr. Harry j W. Dominick of the commissioners ! :>f public works explained to us the j jther dav that the contract with the ! # j Southern Power company provided :hat they could turn o.f the current j it any time on Sundays they wanted :o, and that the reason it had been I i ;urned off for several Sundays past | j kvas no fault of the commissioners, i. Dut was done by the power company is it had the right under the contract, j We explained that we did not intend :o criticize any one in the innocent comment we made. Mr. Spearman ;aid he was accustomed to "kicks" by j i TT ^1,1 Vdxirc f Uof lio no ri r\ { i lie IlCIUlll c; I i 'U >!. ?V J kUUk. 11V J/C4HI 11V I attention to it anv way. Well, we!' ' I ire sorry that he should have such a , :>oor opinion of the influence and i; power of the press, but the Southern ; Power company seems to view the 1 matter differently. At any rate the i< current was on all of the past Sun- j day and no doubt due to the remarks I of The Herald and News. i But jesting aside it is a little re- j markable that so many people will j think or persuade themselves to think j that the press has no influence, while j * ' .i. j :j _ I as a maner 01 iact it, uoes wieiu a , powerful influence and sometimes, i and generally, we can convince our- j selves that we are not influenced by j what we read, but the influence is : there all the same. But what we want to say by refer-! ring to this is that The Herald aud Xcws is neither a "kicker" nor at "kr.ceker," but we do say wh.it we ; think, and when we think something' should be done we say io, and not: in the spirit of faultfinding or : ici.'vi :%s the pn' ::c cO'-s: 'uC ! rrifcicism, but ior tc<? j Jurr>o??e v? lp- ! ir;r and building vp and better ,y? ii. - : I i merits being run by those : all Aspirin Tablets except idle large quantities of Asits that we know are Pure are rigidly tested by firstre put out by a firm of the ig, the United Drug Comas Rexall Druggists, are s in Newberry. i t expired m iyi / ana any spirin and sell it under that blets are put up in 24's; 100's.

C. float along with the stream and take the side of least resistance, but we would feel that we were utterly incompetent to edit even a weekly country newspaper if we simply slushed over people and things. That is not our idea of helping the community. We try always to be polite and courteous and never to offend. But a newspaper that is always slushing and slobbering and toadying and hoping to gain friends by this sort of writing is not worthy the place among honest and sincere journalists.

" and other- good things so long as we ; are able to write and print. Some people may call it hot air, but a cer- ! tain amount of hot air is necessary ^ sometimes to arouse the public con- ,c science. J What we need here now is for every one to pull together for the up-. lift of the community and the fellow ^ is nnt willing to do it should be; crushed by the juggernaut of pro- j 4 gress. Put aside your selfishness and ; give your brother who is struggling to J do something a helping hand. "THE COUNTRY NEWSPA. ?R." I We may be pardoned from copying; from a letter recently received by the editor from a friend in another state who reads The Herald and News. Seldom do people find time to write a word of commendation of what you do or say. Generally when -- ? * i ?j i*i _ it is something: that they com iiKe is the time that you hear from them. This friend writes: "I read it (The Herald and News) ! regularly and enjoy it immensely, j "Vmiv prlitr?r?r>l nn 'The Country Newspaper' is a splendid one, rig:ht from the shoulder, and eol dfacts. Of all vocations that necessitate and re-' quire int'U'Venc?, brain matter, it is that of the country newspaper editor. In my estimation for the j labor, and service rendered and required to produce a newspaper the returns should be triple, and unlimit ed support from all the folks." That is nice and we appreciate it because we know the writer means what he says. Ttte country eauor as a rule is not a mercenary person and rarely becomes rich, but he does appreciate the cooperation and commenlation and sympathy of the people for whom he spends his life.
