y ' I- ? ihe feralO anD mw%. HH SP tfSs Entered at the Postoffice at Newberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, June 15, 1920. We have been having some good cotton weather recently and the nights have been good* cotton growing nights. The grain crop is good in this section but there was not as much planted as should have been tV?pn fhpTV* is a Int in thp fipld just now ripe for the reaper and should be harvested The gardens are drying up for ?ack of water. Pity those of us who are trying to have gardens can not have water with which to make the vegetables grdw but the first con ? - * 4-/> eiaerauon 01 course is wa?,ci ?,? j drink and to protect against fire. We | heard a gentleman complaining the other day that the town should* furnish the water because the? gardens were worth a whole lot, al of which is true, but as we understand it the town is doing all it can. This gen-j toman's idea was that it would be ; ,2>est to get the:water from the iiv-: ing streams instead of wells. But that would take time. . j ? / I - A ...v * ; ' - 1 The Herald and News would be ! pleased to have every one read the j excellent historical article which we print today from the - Confederate j Vofpran nnd nreDared bv Col. M. M. 1 * v ~ X X V Buford giving a true account of the j surrender of Gen. Joseph E. John- j ston in North Carolina and giving the place and the date and the de-, tails of the armistice. He very posi- j tively locates the place. He was! there and was an escort to Col. j Lowndes to the headquarters of Gen. ; Sherman. More of this history should be furnished or the material ; preserved by those who participated ; for the use of the historian afld then : we would be assured that we were ? i having correct history.

VI oo re. If i-s a yrwxl sitrn of orosuerous lays when there are not so many aspirants for office.- And it is true that the field is not inviting to the efficient and competent young man who has capacity, but because as a rule the salaries paid officials is way below what can be made in almost my other field of human endeavor. We hope and believe this is going ;o be one year in South Carolina politics when the voter will not * be swayed by factional spite and prejudice but will quietly cast his ballot as to him may seem best for the public service. ADVERTISING KA1L3. The business manager requests the statement made that on the first of Tuly the rate of advertising will t>e JO cents the inch. That seems high )ut when vou come to think of it it \ s not as high as the old rate of 15 ents that we had last year, that is if he advertiser desires to buy circula;ion and not simply space. But even f he buys space it is not -high by :omparison. It is really only 10 cents >er inch per thousand of circulation. CVhen the rate was down low the jrice of print paper was selling for ess than 3 cents the pound delivered n Newberry., The last lot bought lost 17 cents the pound plus freight, ^nd hard to get at that price. When the new press gets to runling we will print a seven coiumn >aper and even with the volume of idvertising that we are now carryng will be able to give more news. .The increased cost of everything ;hat goes in the making of a news>aper demands that the income must )e increased to meet the demands. It s purely a business proposition.

Special at Women's percale and at She had come to the conclusion that I was, 1 suppose, because 1 nari so often spoken uf th3 way this little town does things and the pleasure it always gave me to come there. No, my dear, I am not preparing to move to Whitmire, though I am trying with all the influence that I have to move Whitmire nearer to Newberry, and the way I want to do this is te have two roads built from Newberry to Whitmire, or rather one from W.vberrv to Whitmire and one from Whitniire to Newbejry, and you know a good road or two would make the two towns much nearer to each other, because we no longer measure distance in miles but rather in time, and then by building the two it would make a fine belt around whit h the' pleasure drivers could spin pnd just about as much a? should be put into one spin. And then I like Whitmire for the reason that it is progressive and so far as I can judge the people cooperate for the good of the town in all things that go to make a good town. On Saturday Mr. Arthur Kibler asked rne if I would not take Dr. J. ; L. Daniel over to the township .Sur.' 1 --U?1 ?T ronl i (lay scnuui cum cnvivii. * thyt I would be delighted, but my 111. had been let to my son for a trip, and so I asked Mr. I). Wheel ev if he would not split up \^ith me the cost of a transfer to which he agreed. But to the regret of us all Dr. Danfel said he had been sick and could not go. Mr. Kibler than commanded that I take his place on the program. This I could not do, but I went, and with Mr. Wheeler and Miss Boyd Wheeler and Mr. Cecil Thomas 'driving we made the trip. It'.took-very nearly an- hour, aiicl a-> half \**hereas the trip should have been made in an hour if we had the roads that I have been speaking about. We must ijave the roads built. ,The legislature passed three aets as to townships acting separately in the smatter, '. of roads and one of them refers especially to these roads to Whitmire. I will print the acts in the next paper. The road by Caldwell's could be made a good road with some work and without so much expense if some one would only look after it. There are the creeks which should have fills and longer bridges. At Duncan's creek the wood part of the bride is aj?out complete and it reaches from hill to hill and has the appearance of being above high water and the lumber used is good, but it seemed to me that the mud sills were not sufficient ly grounded to withstand the freshets and I am afraid when the high waters come that these foundation sills will undermine. A steel span is to go over the main stream. A bridge at Indian creek and at King's creek with some fills and a little work on the road, it would do fairly well. We drove back by the brick, house / r AD A i IL t\ S\ /-I s week very in clear hard stocl v market value. r GREATLY REDUCED CES >ur entire stock of 'Colored' ITT/% sureiy appeal iu cva^ wunot a bad pattern in the lot. rns, in a beautiful range of 36 and 40 inches wide. 39c, 50c, 75c. and 98c AND TOWELS REDUCED pecial at $2.00 Special at $1.75 d quality at 45c , heavy quality.

Shannon now lives, then f the home of the Duncans, and that ( the school was taught by Mr. Duckett 1 and that he prepared young men for college. I am going to ask Mr. Gog- I gans to write a story of his school. days at this place and something of < the young men who were prepared for college by Mr. Duckett.
