The Baptists of the Abbeville Bap-!
tist church had a supper the other
night to celebrate the paying off of
the last note of indebtedness on the,
handsome church edifice which they ;
have erected in that good town. 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. | (

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.

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.

production is to work more. 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 ,

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

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:

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.

edited a paper in this town, and we
have always advocated those things
that were for the betterment and
meant for the progress of the community,
the town and county and
State, and sometimes we stood almost
alone, but thanks to a gracious providence
we have been spared to see
many of them come to pass, and we
are going to keep on advocating what
we believe is for the uplift of the .
community, and to help the schools ! "
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.
