& ||enili) and Jots. j - I Entered at the Postoffice at New- ' i Wrry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. j Friday, June 25, 1920. We desire to commend the splendid spirit of all the candidates at the opening meeting of the county campaign, on Tuesday, and we hope that this same spirit of good fellowship shall continue to the end and that +v?<a rianrtlo mnv art tr> the noils this Will- J c ~ c year of grace and express their honest convictions in the choice of the men and their fitness for the positions that are contested. And not vote for or against any candidate for office because that candidate is for or against some one who is running for some other office regardless of the fitness of the candidate for whom the vote is to be cast, but let every one stand on his own fitness for the position he seeks. ABOUT ROADS. We had the pleasure of driving to Columbia on Wednesday with Mr. R. C. Boylston and family. The county has worked up the road in the new territory that came into New1 T nvinrrfrtri it. IS bfit D*srry nuui -- ter than it once , was, but since the rains and the travel following there is need of; some sort of scrape or drag, because in many places the road is in bad condition for lack of a little attention from some one since the rains. You can not have a good road simply by working it and leaving it alone for months thereafter. The county needs several of these road ><;,machines such as the town has, and then a competent man to work them and to take care of them, and'they will prove for the 1 * 1 ^ OAY?f A-f on present at least uie ucav oui v investment for road work. And will not cost as much as the kind of permanent roads that we are now building. And we can reach more people with good roads than we can by building a few roads at the cost of five or six thousand dollars the mile. We were just wondering how it would strike the people of Nos. 1, 2 and 4 to purchase one of these machines with a couple scrapes and for the use on the belt line that we sug . gested some time ago, and keep it on these roads, and we believe that once the roads were properly located that they could be kept in fine condition, all the time. Of course there would have to be fills made at a few of the creeks and some bridges built but At _1 -T J l>? Vviiilt OnTT TITO \7 Thp xney miuuiu i;c uuhu ???j. first cost we understand is around $6,000.. We do not know the cost of operating but we should think that $500 the month would cover that, and with $6,000 the year for 42 miles of road connecting the two towns of Whitmire and Newberry and serving the people along the way would be a very small matter in comparison with the good results obtained, and that it would be a better investment than bonds to build a road with no assurance of mainten ance. The truth is we should have them for every township in the coun-; ty and for all the roads. If the people vote four hundred thousand dollars in bonds the best you could do at this time would be to build about 75 or 80 miles of road with nothing left for maintenance and where would you build these roads and what would you do for the rest of the roads of the county? These are matters worth while thinking about as we see the road situation, and we have been a long time and a consistent advocate of building roads. We have come to look upon | this road machine that the town of Newberry is operating as we have long viewed the split log drag only a great improvement on the drag and not a great deal more expensive compared with the additional work it can be made to do. Then we must put a stop to speed: ?;?i_ 3 u 4. i.? nig Willi Uig ecus iiiiu iicav^ tiucivs, because no roads we can build will stand against this reckless speeding that now is tearing the roads to pieces as fast as they are repaired. WE ARE COMING. The editor has had an invitation from each of the correspondents fro^n down in the new territory to come down and go on a fish. Nellie, Mary and Blue Eyes, and we are going-some time very soon. How they all had an idea that we would enjoy o a rt af I' r? anr TX7 a /J a a 11CXX -LX J UU I1VU AUUtT. ?! c UC" sire each of these fair ones to understand that we are not crazy about fishing", but that we can do our part in the eating of the stew after it te prepared, that is if they kno\y how to prepare jj} and we take it that they do. If our luck as a fisherman in the days of our youth should follow us to this day we would like to suggest tkat if there are any chickens that are ripe it would not be a bad idea; t to take along a few fried chickens so' j ! that we may be sure of being fed on \ this fish trip that we are to take. j i When we will be able to take fnat i ( fish trip we do not know, but we are: + arranging to carry out a long desire z to visit the old St. Johns church, and j. it is our purpose to worship with j the? egood people the coming Sunday j. and to hoar a good sermon by the i ( pastor. Since we published the An-j. nals of Newberry a good many years jj j ago and Dr. 0. B. Mayer wrote that I ( I article about having heard with so I. much interest our grandfather, the , Rev. Herman Aull, preach in this same church we have been planning , to attend worship there some day, but somehow we have never been able to make the trip, and now the coming Sunday we are planning to carry out that long ago planned pleasure. We have been told that next Sunday is the regular preacuiug j day. It was along about the middle or latter part of the first half of the last century when Rev. Herman Aull preached at this place, and we understand that the same church building is there to this day, though the high pulpit has been taken down and is now in the museum of the Newberry college. We wish that at least some one of the churches had left these high pulpits in tact, but the! congregations felt, we suppose, that they must keep pace with modern progress and therefore these old pul? 11 pits had to .go. We can very wen remember the one that was in the St. Pauls Lutheran church when we were a boy, and that some of . the short preachers like Revs. Boinest and A. D. L. Moser had to use a stool upon which to stand so that their heads might be visible to the congregation. There was a winding stairway leading up to them. And then there was a sounding board above the preacher. We believe that it is the sounding board that is in the museum of the college and not the pulpit. At any rate we are looking forward with much pleasure to a visit to old St. Johns next Sunday. DOING A GOOD WORK. We have heard that Mr. T. M. Mills is contemplating giving up the work of county demonstration agent (for Newberry county. In fact, he told us himself that he had notified the authorities at Clemson to look! out for another man to take his place. The authorities very properly asked him to withdraw this request, so that the matter is still open and will not be decided until after the annual meeting of county agents which is to be held at Clemson very soon. We know that the people of NewJ berry will join The Herald and News - . ? r__ u:iu in the hope that iur. Dlilid YY 111 Aivw I give up this work, and that if the compensation is inadequate that some provision will be made to secure a fund sufficient to pay such salary as may be adequate. Mr. Mills has now been the county agent for several years, and without making comparisons, is one of the best in the state, and has done and is doing^a good work in this county, and his. experience and his acquaintance with the people and the condi tions in the county place? him in position to do better work than can possibly be done by any other man just at this time. It would take a new man at least five years to gain the efficiency for this particular field j now attained by Mr. Mills, j Mr. Mills is competent and enthusiastic and energetic and always pleasant and courteous in his work and willing at all times to help and inA/mprnte in any movement that is for the good and the betterment of the people. By no means should he be permitted to give up the work at this time if it is possible to retain his services. If it is the matter of pay then provision should be made to make the pay adequate. Yve do not know what the salary is but unless it has been very materially increased recently we have no doubt it ! is inadequate and more money should ! j be provided. We have no doubt that j Mr. Mills travels at least ten or J twelve thousand miles a year, and1 j that means a new car every year or! | two and a couple sets of tires for the j car each year and these should be i provided. In other words the pay! should be commensurate with the! good work that he is doing for the j people of the county. And then I when Newberry gets its chamber of commerce organized and working he will be of great value in helping the work of this body for the good of the community. There are so many things in which hp is a heln to the neople which we jail know and which it is unnecessary,1 to enumerate, that we can not get our consent to beli&ve that the peo-j pie will permit him to retire if it is! possible to retain his services in this;! work. "' r This is a time above all othe-^s ! when the people should desire to do'1 everything possible to help farm '] conditions and to improve them, and , J hat is the work in which Mr. Mills s particularly engaged and in which ie is efficient and helpful. Hoj> 'aising, corn growing, cattle raising, >rchards and fruits, all of these ,hings wo need to know more about md to encourage, and now is a time ibove all others when the work and nfluence of a farm demonstration igent is needed far more than at an} :>ther time since we have had them md we need one with experience ir onM one who knows how tc LlIC >V Wl iv Ui*\? v.. _ do it, and that is the point of th( whole story, one who knows hov and is not afraid to do it, and in Mr Mills the county has just such ar agent. RUNNING FOR THE SENATE. We see the announcement goin$ the rounds that our old friend, Col Will Pollock, is in the race for th< United States senate. We have rea< Will's announcement, in which hi uses some fine words, and in whicl he thanks his friends for favors al ready conferred, praying a continua r:? +v,o cnmp. It all sounds ver; nun ui iuv fine, but what the people want jus now is not fine words, fine speeches and things like that, but a high pric for the cotton now on hands and tha which is to follow. We notice that Will does not sa; a word about the price of cotton. W take it that he must know that Cot ton Ed is in this here race, and tha Ed's figures are 1.89. We imagin * 1 1M.. A. that the people wouia use IU A.1IVT1 Will's figures. Ed has put cotto up from about 7 cents to 44 1-2, an it is well on the way to the top. 1 keeps going all the time, though i has been a little slow lately; in fac Ed does not put it up fast enough fo some of the boys, arid they are afrai that they will not be able to pa much income tax next year unless h "gingers" a little. But while there is this dissatrsfa< tion, we would like to inquire whs more they would have to expect froi a man who has no price at all for c# Does Will not know that co ton is the money crop the coui try, and that thte amount of mone we will have depends entirely on th price the cotton brings? Then, i he does. whyNdoes he not name h: price for cotton? Is it higher c 'lower than 1.89? That is what Joh Gray and the boys around Antrevilh as well as the boys everywhere els< would like to know? If the figure ' i ; W<?? ffcQ tvnicil Will nas JH mmu aic itso wi? 1.89, why make a change? Then again how does Will stand o "reduce one-third and hold?" Wi must speak up and now is the tim to talk.?Abbeville Press and Bar ner. Then there is Will Irby who is run nilng and he ain't said nothing abou the price of cotton, though we be lieve that he is talking about provicl in^ warehouses and that may be t help the boys hold one-third of th crop for higher prices. / And then don't you forget tha there is George, George Warrer who is also announced as in the run ning, and he ain't said nothing abou cotton either, but he does wan something done with that Volstea act so that the boys may be able t get some of the liquid for medicina purposes, remember he said medic: nal purposes, for snake bite and sue like thing?, not to speak of the con and that tired feeling which come over us once and a while. And when Ed gets back from Sa: Francisco may be the thing wi] warm up and then we will be tol about this here cotton business. Ma; be we can get the price up to 1.98 and that is a little better than 1.89. You remember when Ed starte* this thing cotton was way dowi about 7 or 8 cents and the buy ; bale movement at 10 cents was th< thing to do, and now even at 43 it i not high' enough, but that is reall; better than 7 or 8. ENROL IF YOU WOULD VOTE. We call attention again to the fac that under the rales of the Demo cratic party all the voters must enro this year if they would vote in th< primary. A new enrolment is ha< every year. It is important that yo1 get your name on the club books. No tice has been printed in the newspa pers stating where the books of eacl club would be found and also giving the names of the enrolment commit tee of each club. You have until the last of July ii which to get your name on the clu1 books and thus qualify to vote in th primary but it is better to attend t it at once, while you are thinkinj about it because you may desire t vote and if your name is not put o: in time you can not vote. If you do not know where you club book is ask your secretary ani he either has it or can tell yoi where it may be found. B. F. Swetenberg. Abbeville Press and Banner.

Columbia, June 21.?Sufficient i U/-. -Tn>?niclinrl hv i [ cars ana power win uc ^ the three trunk line railways run-ii ning into Charleston to move the' nitrate of soda now in Charleston , harbor and that expected within the t next few days, according to a statej ment made tonight by Frank W. i Shealy, chairman of the state rail; road commission, who has just re1 turned from a conference with Su. perintendent King, of the Southern ! railway; J. P. Walker, of the Atlantic Coast Line; W. E. Bagwell, of the " ' ?J *t other rail seaDoaru -n.n way officials at Charleston. ! According to Mr. Shealy it will be r necessary for the railways to fur' nish 2,467 cars to transport the nie* trate of soda now in the harbor. ^ The railroad authorities, said the e commissioner, claim that they can 1 only load 200 cars a day because of the present dockage facilities at Charleston. The entire nitrate ship~ merit, they claim, will be moved in ? fourteen days. Between thirty and thirty-five * thousand tons of nitrate of soda are 11 /~11 1 Vio rKnr in ? f-pccrcd 1T1 tilG onanwiuu uui the next few days, stated Mr. Shealy, and the railroad authorities promised " y him that they would be in position to e move this with expedition. This ' movement will take an additional 1, t 500 cars,.they think. It is hoped that e both movements will be completed rr in 18 days. j n "The South Carolina railroad comd mission," said Mr. Shealy, "desires It to request the consignees of nitrate it of soda to unload their shipments at :t the earliest possible moment, so uwwj ?r the cars can be rushed back to Chard leston for additional haulage. So y important is the nitrate shipment to e the farmers of South Carolina that I we hope cars will be unloaded at >_ once, so that the train which brings [t them can t^ke the empties back on n the next trip for additional tonnage.} The railroads state that they will} I. not wait for tonnage, but will run! j. trains light if possible to expedite y the movement.'' 2 NAME OF McADOO jj WILL BE PUT UP. >r Kansas City, Mo., June 23.?In a " telegram sent from reuDio, v^uiu., I' from the train bearing Missouri dele;"s' gates to the Democratic national con' vention, Burris A.

"What more can I do," he asked after reading Mr. r !' Jenkins' reiterated declaration that e he would nominate Mr. McAdoo eith- t t er with or without his consent. t In a written statement today Mr. ^ McAdoo branded as false the report of a New York newspaper which de- 1 0 clared he would not make the presi- * il dential race because of ill health. ^ i- The statement said: s h "My attention has just been called to the statement that I have tuberc culosis. It is amazing that any repu- " 5 table newspaper or individual would be guilty of such a wanton false? i n hood. There is not a shadow 01 i II foundation for such a statement.

TENNESSEE TO ACT ON i SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT 1 Washington, June 23.?President e Wilson tonight sent a telegram to ^ Governor Roberts of Tennessee urging that a special session of the Ten1 nessee legislature be called to act on - the federal suffrage amendment. The president in his telegram said: "It would be a real service to the y party and to the nation if it is pos* sible for you under the peculiar pro- I - vision of your state constitution, nav: ing in mind the recent decision of the n supreme court in the Ohio case, to k call a special session of the legislature 01 Tennessee to consider the L suffrage amendment. Allow me to o urge this very earnestly.'' * The state constitution of Tennessee 0 has a provision prohibiting action by the state legislature on a federal con11 stitutional amendment except when ' the legislature taking the action has r been chosen at an election in which d the proposed amendment was an issue.
