FARMING PROGRAM. l \jii situation that was held here last Thursday, and the program laid down by the experts for the farmers of, this section to follow in the present situation, is just what The Herald, and News has been preaching for j thirty years and more, ana we ot i course give hearty endorsement to the i program. Boll weevil or 110 boll; weevil the farmer of this section who makes all he needs for the farm on the farm is the farmer who is going. to succeed at farming. Of course you | may point to rare exceptions where j a farmer makes all cotton and makes j money, 'out it is the exception and not; the rule. And that is in plain Eng- j lish the Drocram that the experts on i the boll weevil laid down for the farmers at the meeting last Thursday. It is the same doctrine that Henry Grady preached in his famous Boston speech in 1888, when he said: j "When every farmer in the South shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures and! disturbed by no creditor, and enslav- j ed by no debt, shall sit amid his teem- i ing gardens, and orchards, and vine-' yards, and dairies, and barnyards, pitching his crops in his own wisdom and growing them in independence, making cotton his clean surplus, and selling it in his own time, and in his chosen market, and not at a master's bidding?getting his pay in cash and j j /*a 4-unf i c* f not ill a ICtCiptCU iuun,ga,^c mat viio- | charges his debt, but does not restore his freedom?then shall be breaking the fullness of our day." We are glad to see that the experts are distributing this excerpt from Grady's great speech in the carrying! out of the programs for their meet- j ings. It is the only true doctrine and i the practice of it is the only true way for the farmer of the South to reach his independence. And more so now than ever because of the high cost of everything and the uncertainty and unreliableness of the cotton!

High: wages and shorter hours can not do anything but cause the high cost of j living to go even higher than it is j now. * The solution for the cotton farmer j is simple, it is easy, it is the same old j -problem that could have been solved j long ago and that has been solved j by many of our farmers and that will j have to be solved by others whether i -1- - :n Tl,n trnoril I iney wm 11, ur nut. x nc uuu nt,v>u| may force them to the sane solution,! 7 | and which they should have tried long: ago. It does not need an expert to solve j it but may be the farmer will listen | j and heed an expert when he would j "pay no attention to the advice of the ] home folks, but this very same doc- j trine has been preached constantly in i this county for many years, and will preached for the years to come so long as the present editor is permitted to hold the reins at the helm of The 7T 'J j Vnn-ff Kllf OVf? find to nerum miu * ? ; have the experts to give such full and complete and hearty endorsement to our doctrine. COMMUNITY HOUSE. We notice from t!r> Ore-, voo i paper that efToits are be'ng r..a?io ' o estall.sh in that root! tow:, r. coi1 lauinty house whc.'e th*: pe ?p!e v ):o are down town ana who com to town [ may go and lounge and rert. Why I bless your souJ-we have -been trying [to havc suvh a house-m-Newberry'for ! mn?n' ^-iiire inrJ wa V>fi\Tr? nr?W N 1 """V . \ ing place for the ladies of the town I and the country that has been a great : blessing to many tired mothers who ; had to come to town and who had of ; course to bring along the children. 1 Such a place has been the hobby. : or one of them, of The Herald and | News for many years. Even before | the present rest room was started we ! were constantly talking about it. And : now we have time and again men: tioned the fact that we had better opportunity than most towns of this ! size to have a real community house. ; For that reason we have been and i we are still a persistent advocate of | retaining the old court house building ; and of making of it a real community ' house. It would take lots of money in this day of high prices to build such a building, and then it is so cen'trally located and so convenient to all the business places that it is ideal for a community house. . The town and the county should - - -Li __ x _ i? u.ij - r a? jomuy taivt: nuiu ui uie xiiuulci ?*??u make a real community house out of it, by putting in a proper heating system and making a few extra repairs and take the rear part where the rest room now is and the other rooms across the rear and make a public library of them, and then use the two front rooms for lounging rooms, one for the women and one for the men, and the upstairs for a community hall for all sorts of meetings by the farmers or by the citizens, and by hav[ing the building heated it would always be ready for the meeting. It is too valuable a building and could i be made to serve too good a purpose to let go and not repair it for these | purposes. It would cost a little to put fit in proper shape but not near so !much as to put up a new building, and If f r\ o Ik' v* VU1U L/t UiliiV.Utk OV UiiU a location so well adapted for this purpose. "Some of our community builders should take hold of the matter and get busy and have something: done rig:ht now. We need it. The town needs it and the county needs it. Few towns are so fortunate as to have ?o nice a building: which could so easily be turned into the uses of a convenient community building" and yet we j 1 . i *11 i i .. . il v. .. ti srar.a snu and ao nouimg. ii is amazing- to us at times how little interest our successful business men and leaders in all lines seem to take in matters of this character. They mean much for any community like Newberry. Another thing that this town needs along this lire and that should have the attention of the community builders is a community house of a little different type, and that is an apartment house where people who desire to do light housekeeping could rent flats or apartments at a reasonable rental, and where young men could secure rooms and board before they are ready to take up real housekeep- ( ing on their own account. Such a building should be in the center of an entire square so that there might be playground room for the children who for the time might belong to the families renting the apartments, and it should not be too far out of town. And then some one to run a first class restaurant in connection with the house so that the roomers or renters if they desired could secure their meals right on the premises. And we say not so far out so that those who were in town and those who lived in town and desired might go and get meals when it was not convenient to have cooking done at their home. Many people now are endeavoring to get rooms to do light housekeeping, and to i*et rooms in which to live and who take their meals out. Such a house should be fitted up with all the modern conveniences, and then we should have a gas plant for use of those who desired to do ligrht housekeeping. There is no better location for such a building than the McClintock place which we believe was recently purchased by Sheriff Elease. It is close in and yet it is quiet and removed from the busy hustle and is on a high place and has an entire square. Mr. Henry Parr is a builder, and we would like to see him get busy and organize a company to erect just such a building, and this lot should be secured before it is cut up into smaller lots and sold off. Such a building might not pay big dividends right back to the investor, but indirectly in benefits to the town and to | the people it Would be a good invest ment for the neoule who have proper [ ty in Newberry if it never paid a cent ' in direct dividend. The community ; builder is not the one who looks al! ways for a big direct dividend on every cent that he put* cut. And I the man who is a cei r ; :n:ly bui!d-?r is the only one vbo is w<?r::' v/h ;' ito any community. A man may be lev-- (> , ': ?

He is a sort of parasite or : leech on the community sucking all the juice and fruit out for his own selfish purposes. We need right now; I in Newberry some community spirit; . ti-liw.li ill bIiah: ifctil-f in somo cnm. I munity building. ABOUT CONVENTIONS. I The Greenwood Index-Journal deiplores the fact that it should be neces- j jsary for the legislature to consider i j even the passage of an act to proi hibit smoking in dining rooms, and; j comments that if we continue to j J break down convention after conven-j | tion that by and by it will not be j necessary to observe any at all. j ! There are many of the old conven-1 i tions, besides ihat of smoking in; j ? 1 ! places like the one mentioned, that! !have been shattered and all you have,'! ! to od is to look around and you canj j ; see them even if you are nearsighted.1 ! That is those who have grown old I j enough to have lived under the old : ( ' days when men and women had more ;j ! regard for the civilities of life than j | prevail in this day. * 1 S It is largely due to the trend of j | things in this age, and mainly, as :we ' | believe, the idea which seems to have | taken hold of some of the socalled i reformers that you had to regulate! I everything by act of the legislature, j I And then in our opinion our sys-; j | tem of teaching in the school and the j i ! home has been in large measure re-' j | sponsible for much of the reckless dis-! ; regard of the conventions, and it is' j not good for the elevation of the race j; j or for the civilization of the age. j The young American thinks it is all right and the proper courtesy,; | that is if he thinks at all, to puff a : cigarette in your parlor or in the presence of ladies or anywhere else he may happen to be. In the old v '(days of chivalry a gentleman would consider it a crreat breach of the civil ities to smoke at all in the presence of the ladies. Much of this disregard of the civilities, however, is due to the women themselves. They not only tolerate but they encourage it. The line of demarkation which once existed very distinctly between the | gentleman and the rowdy or ruffian has keen almost entirely obliterated. And it is not wrel!. We need to teach it in our schools and our colleges and to pratice it in our homes. The truth is the great American home which has been our basis of. . power and of strength in the past is fast passing into decay, and some- i thing is needed to be done to re-j( habilitate it if we are to maintain our' prowess as a nation. Many of the changes of this age of many changes may be for the better, but many of them do not make for a better citizenship or a more virtuous womanhood, and these are , ; the things that really count when you come to make up the jewels of the . nation. i I i mm i We notice that there is a proposi-: tion before the legislature to do away j with the county chain gangs and work them on the state roads. Why not at J the same time do away with the State j farms and work those that are in the penitentiary on the state roads. That was our proposition several years i 1 ago. As to the county gangs there is a question whether they are worth to the roads what they cost the county to maintain. If all the convicts in the counties and in the penitentiary were put on some State roads under the proper supervision and direction of a competent engineer it would not cake; so long to build a couple of roads . across the State and then we would; have an example of what is meant by the permanent roads about which so much is beine said. With State aid and federal government aid roads should be built in a hurry and there should be some roads made that would . .. i be worth while. 1 ^ i I , DOCTOR HAS ISOLATED ! INFLUENZA GERM. I i ! Chicago. Jan. 24.?Dr. Earl C. ' Carr, senior grade lieutenant in : charge of the main laboratory at the 1 ! Great Lakes Xaval Training Station,: | has isolated the influenza germ, he |announced today. j "It is the real influenza bacillus 1 , ! ! discovered by Pfieffer in England," i j Dr. Carr said. J I "I took the sputum from a person I |near death from influenza, washed it.! j in a salt solution, plated it on blood . [ media, picked out the influenza bacil-! | lus colonies and transferred them to j ! a separate media. There can be no j doubt about it. j "The bacillus is very small?about one-fourth the size of the tuberculo : sis bacillus?it is nonmotile and grows in clumps. The presence of bacillus nwikes people just as sick as they were last year and in my cpvncn the death rate per thousand ' ca es is as hif.h. There are not, however, as many cases as there were last year." Oa^ain C. A. Butler, heal of the ?r*v.l' . moratory, supervised lv.
