They are intelligent citizens of the town and are interested in two ways in having the count correct, one, they are paid on a per capita basis, and besides as citizens they want the city to have all the population to which it is entitled. At the same time it is barely possible, however careful they may have been, that they may have failed to count some one or mure uciauns. i uc supviyiaui u anxious to have a correct count of the people. He will not send the papers to Washington for several days yet and if any one has not been counted, or if any one knows of any persons who have not been counted, make the complaint now before the papers are sent off, because then it will be too late for the purposes of this census, and too late to make a kick and Say that the work has not been properly done. There are always people in every community who seem to take a delight in criticizing the work of others. Now if you have + a nl*n lof if n r\ m o <1UV V. umy 1C1111L LU niuxw- 1 AW \.V1UV along right new. It will do no good to say that the people were not all counted after the official figures are , made up. If you know of anyone let j it be known right now while there is j yet time to add the names. ^ j Gov. Cooper is correct and sane ; when he intimates that in his opinion j the first vote that should be given to the women is a vote to ascertain if they really want the suffrage, and if they do then it will be good time to talk about giving it to them. A few women can make a big noise about it, but the real test and the proper test is to let the women themselves j say what they want. Why not? j -w j We do not "near much about what, 1 the legislature is doing. Reading the Columbia Record you would scarcely j know that the legislature is in session, j j 11 ^ f i xi It IS wen. iviayoe tney are wummg , on the tax problem and the good j roads proposition and not saying much about it. These are always j very important subjects. We need that something be done for the roads of the state. M We hope that the Newberry dele-! gation will make rovision at once for tke building of a permanent all the \ year round road between Newberry and Whitmire. That is a road that ! should be built. This Whitmire section of the county has never had the attention it deserves from the road people of Newberry. It is a large taxpaying community and should have some of the money put into the roads. And besides from a selfish standpoint such an investment would be worth more to the remaining portion of the county in direct and indirect benefits than it would be to the Whitmire section itself. But on the broader position it is something that should be done, and it should be done right now. The editor who happens also to be census supervisor is so busy with the census just now that he does not find much time even at night to give to The Herald and News, but ihis job will soon be over and then his whole time night and day will be devoted to the paper. This census job is a grown man's proposition just now, and however careful one may be he may find himself criticized because some one may think that some of the young cities have not grown as they should since the count ten years ago, but the census enumerators and the supervisor are not expected to manufac ture cither informal;on or noniuauon. They are to O : hoy may 3rd iher . : ;' ? tior.e corT'.vif " ' the : r re has ; -n Z". "': r,.;3<v Px"''j u Z?on fh?%rc wi*i be ? r sc'.oo- house 7:?':y i?* v <S-5 '*iV *l,"( ' ">?

For this reason many who' were charmed by Harold Bell; ; Wright's graphic and melodramatic romances of California will probably < see in the elaborate film version at j the opera house Thursday and Friday, j January 29 and 30, a drama of ab sorbing interest and strength along 1, these lines. I As for their opportunities, take, j for instance, the character of Le-' | Grange, the cynical writer, as reveal-1 ; ed in his own words in the novel: i j "Working! Me? I don't work any-' I where. I am a literary scavenger.1 j I haunt the intellectual slaughter ! pens and live by the putrid offal that j self-respecting writers reject. I glean j the stinking materials for my stories : from the sewers and cesspools of life, j For the dollars they pay I furnish j i iv readers with those thrills that pub- j i lie decency forbids them to experi- j, j ence first hand. My books breed i moral pestilence and spiritual disease. j | The unholy filth I write fouls the j minds and pollutes the imaginations i of my readers. I am an instigator of j < ! degrading immorality and unmention-j able crimes. Work! No, young man,' I don't work. Just now I am doing j ' penance in this damned town. My j rotten imaginings have proven too much, even for me?and the doctors ' have sent me west to recuperate." 1 , I Then there's Taine, the dissoulute ; product of a life of self-indulgence and low ideals. He is thus sketched ; in the author's graphic words: j , | "The hideous ruin that Mr. Taine < had, in himself, wrought by the criminal dissipation of his manhood's ! strength, and by the debasing of his physical appetites and passions, was to Aaron King, now, a token of the intellectual, spiritual and moral ruin that alone can result from a debased and depraved dissipation of an artist's creative power." Death of a Faithful Colored Man. Robert Caldwell, a well known and worthy colored citizen of Newberry died of pneumonia at the home of his sister in Prosperity on last Friday, after about a week's illness, and was buried the following Sunday at Old Fairview. He was sick when he went to visit his sister. He was indus-. I trious and of good reputation, a fine I ? ?1 r. >1 ^ falio Viln man TTp I ^mUCUCi a::u xwiiuviv *??* ?v worked gardens for many of our. citnzens, besides bringing dinner for j Mr. Jerry B.

In a private note we hive learned of the marriage of Miss Kate Neel; of Newberry to Mr. Marvm Wilson. This happy event took place on j December 23rd, 1919. This is the - .. . , i first notice we had ot this important occasion and the Presbyterian sends _ its belated compliments.

MONEY LAST YEAR i Hastings Declares That Southern Farmers Can Repeat the Past Year's Prosperity, If They Will J j Atlanta, Ga.? (Special.)?"The gen- 1 oralitv of Southern farmers made rea; i money out of their farming operations ; in 1919, moiv profit than most of them ; ever made before, despite boll weevil, j unfavorable seasons and labor short- ! age."' This statement was made recently I by H. CI. Hastings, president of both j the Southeastern Fair Association and ! the Georgia State Chamber of Com-! merce, in discussing general farm j conditions in the South. "Very naturally most of this farm J prosperity is credited to the high j price of cotton and. ot course, uie mgn i price helped, but the real down-at-the- j bottom reason was tliat most farmers < owned their cotton when it was made J instead of 'owing' it for food and | grain bought on credit, as used to be | the case when the practice was to j grow all or nearly all cotton and buy I on credit all or nearly all food, grain, ! etc. i I "Present farm prosperity is due j largely to what Dr. Bradford Knapp, I head of the demonstration work, has I so aptly termed 'Safe Farming,' which j is nothing more or less man growing i on home acres every pound of food, grain and forage needed for family ' and live stock use. When this is done every other available acre can wisely and safely be put in cotton or other cash crop. "The expense of making cotton or oth^r cash crop is, either directly or indirectly, the cost of food for man and beast that works the crop. Most i items of food and grain can be pro- ! duced on southern farms at one-third j to one-half what those same items J cost from supply merchants. j "We made money last year by fol- j lowing the only way that insures per- j -?????! ? ViAtno tirn. I manent rami pr^iicm.,, h.... , rluction of horn ? food and grain needs. ! We can repeat this money making in j, 1920 by following tbe same common ' sense way that put us right last year' a-nd will keep us right in lOL'O and j every year, if we follow it up and not j' gamble in cotton planting. ' i, "It's a great temptation to gamble !, in cotton in 1020?gamble in cotton i: in the field, which is just as bad as } gambling in cotton on the New York or New Orleans exchanges.
