Newberry report that they have finished
the count of the people in the
city. 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

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.

"Eyes of the World."
j Readers of "Eyes of the World" in
book form will recall in that remark-:
able story of California many people j
, and situations that should provide j
! rare opportunities for character por-1
trayal. 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

useful citizens, white and colored,
are missed when they die.
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

HOW WE MADE GOOD !
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. T know ;

double cotton acreage this year. They I
