A WORD OF EXPLANATION
We have always held that .one of
the most valuable and interesting
features of a country paper is the,
local news and the news and even I
the comments of the country corres-:
pondents, and we have always endeavored
to feature these departments
in The Herald and News. As
to the correctness of the news items
we of course have to depend upon
the integrity of the correspondent.
We have no way of verifying the
facts. We do not care for jokes.
Facts are what we want. And then
there are serious matters about
which we should not joke. i
In the last issue a correspondent
signing the name Violet mentioned
several marriages and several prospective
marriages. We understand
that at least two mentioned never
took place. This is too serious a
matter about which to joke in a
newspaper, and we regret that this
correspondent wrote these marriages
as fafcts when ihey were not, and w?
fkot: correspondent was
honestly mistaken, but there is no excuse
even for that, because the correspondent
should have been certain
of the facts before stating them as
facts. We regret the publication
more than we can express, but *s;
stated we were under the impression
that the corrau ?:vle*it w&* stating
facts, and we had n ? jneart of knowing
otherwise. We hope this will not
occur again. We want the news and
a marriage is news, but not if the
marriage does not take place or had
not.taken place as in this case one
at least was stated as having aireaay
happened, which had not taken place.

BIG DAY AT WHITMIRE. J
There are to he big times at Whitmire
on Saturday. There will be a
free barbecue and foot races and
baseball and all sorts of pleasant and
helpful amusement, and tnere will
be a big crowd there and the people
up this side know just how to
make the day pleasant for you, and
thev want you to come and have a
good time with them./ In other words
these people are going to celebrate \
the fourth of July on Saturday. And
they have the best and most complete
baseball grounds in the state
and they have a good team and have
fine baH there every week.
VOTE FOR THE SCHOOLS.
\
ic Tin creater asset to any
JL UVJLV 0
community than the schools of the
community and anything that will
help the schools should* have the
hearty cooperation of every good citizen
of the community. ?
To have good schools it takes good
teachers and in order to have good
teachers there must be money to pay
them. Then the^e is need of good
physical equipment and this takes
i
money.
There is to be an election in New-1
berry school district on Saturday for
the purpose of raising the money to
t pay the teachers adequately and to
provide better equipment. Every
goocl citizen owes it to the children^
of this community to go out and cast
a vote for the schools and that means
a vote for the tax. You owe it to
yourself and to the children of this
community. You will not fail in your
tft these future citizens and to
the advancement of your community.
SIGN THE ROLL. j
Don't forget to sign the dub rolL
Better do it now while you think of
it. There is a new enrolment this
year. If your name was on the club
roll two years ago it will not answer
for this year. A new enrolment this
year. Get your name on the roll
right now. You can not authorize
any one to sign your name. You
must sign it yourself and if you fail
you witt not be in position to vote
sin the primary. ' .
A COUPLE DAYS OUTING. j
The boys at the office very kindly
granted me a leave of absence from
duty for a couple days test week that
I might tav* a little owfcing. Yen'
know a|te? ;many yfears-ef' struggle/
and hard woi*k it is ^ome/Teiief te be
able to know that you don't have to
be at the shop oney?ry Saturday,
and dont have to worry about mak
ing the "ghost walK" so tnat tne
wheels will go round and round the
coming week. And yet it was with
some difficulty that I was able to forget
that I had been able to shift the
load?I had been carrying it for so
jnar.y years it scarcely seemed'natural
but no* even in the brief period
of one year I do not "worry or even
think about the,matter, and just like
the rest of the help walk up a&d get
? 'j i
my little ^ay check, and go on and
try to do my best for the old paper
and feel thankful that at times I can
get away and not feel that things are
going wrong at the shop, and go on
Saturday and spend a few days
where I will. They do insist that I
be at the shop on every Monday and
every Thursday and I try to comply
with that regulation. We are trying
to cooperate and every one nil his
station and do his part, and we are
getting along pretty well so far, and
I believe that it is going to work out
all right. I hope so. But this is not
the story I started out to write.
You know Adam AuH, that is some
of vou know him. Well, he is a kins
man of mine, and if I do say it, he
is one of those big hearted generous
fellows, one o? God's noblemen who
would, rather serve than to be served,
and that is the truth and will be
borne out by all those who know him.
Well, he has been complaining because
I do not come to see him often
enough, and don't, stay long enough
when I do go, so I told him that I
would be at his \ouse for dinner on
last Friday and that I would just
him until Sunday after
v-?
noon. And that I would bring the
two young American boys and their
mother, and it was all right with him
only he would have been glad if I
had brought the other boys at the office
and some others besides, and had
remained longer. The only trouible
about, a visit to his home he wants
you to eat too much and he never
tires trying -to do for you that which
will make your stay pleasant. And
by the way, he holds some record
against race suicide. By his first
marriage to Miss Lillie Kibler there
were twelve children born and all of
them are living and married except
one and there are numbers of grandchildren
and great grandchildren and
they are good citizens. There are
eight girls and f6ur boys and all of
the four boys served in some capac;a
? -????+ TrrsiWM wnr fwn nf

them for several months overseas. Of
the sons-in-law who live in this county
there are Joe Counts, John Huffman,
Me?tts and Shealy and in Columbia
there are J. E. Cannon and Stockman
and over in Marlboro is Bundrick
and one daughter Myrtle, who
lives in Laurens and is not married.
Of the four boys Luther (Kcon)
lives at fiome ana j-?ee m uaumno
and Jeff in Portsmouth, Va., and Rostoe
in Richmond and all married. Of
his present wife there is one bright
little girl six years old.
?o?
Really he is one of the rich men of
the county, maybe not in dollars and
broad acres, but he has a fine place
with all modern conveniences and ar
nice farm and grows all the things
he eats rieht there and while "they
say" he does not work he owes no
money and always has some and is
rich- in the service which he takes
delight in rendering to his fellows,
and after all is not that the fullest
and richest life in this world. Of
course I do not mean to be understood
as saying that Adam is without
faults, because if I thought so
I would not visit him, because I am
afraid of the perfect man who still
wears the human flesh.

On JbYiday aiternoon my oiu menu
Jake Hipp, who lives not far away,
came over and brought some fine
peaches, arid then we drove out to
the "mountain" and at my request
we went around by the old "Uncle"
George Feagle place where Mr. Joe
Counts now lives in order that I
might see that section some of which
I have not been through since the
days of my boyhood. I wanted tp
see about where "Uncle" Peter Suber
lived and where I went for beef on
Cofnr/i'ov WhilA the club lasted. Both
U?WUi.wv*j
the houses of these good old people
of the other days are torn away and
there is not nrach there now to remind
one of the scenes impressed in
the .days that are gone. Many a good
red watermelon have I helped to eat
at "Uncle" George F eagle'a and the
peaches and the other good things.
The lands have been cleared and the
roads changed and jiew ones opened.
And everything looks so different one
* ?
tfrculd scarcely recognize tne pxace.
The old house with the bread rflteza
some six or eight feet above ground
where the melons were cat, is no
more, and Joe Counts be* a new,
modern building.

he was called. Dr. Bowers keeps
the place in good repair aad he has
one of the largest and nicest of pecan
groves that I have seen in the county
and they tell me that the trees bear
abundantly. The crop3 are good in
this section and the roads had recently
been dragged and were in
fairly good shape. In fact there have
been opened several public roads in
&is section since "time when I
would go home from school with Arthur
Kohn and others to spend the

Saturday morning before sunup we , 1
were over to Walter Richardson's to ^ Ij
eat a barbecue breakfast. Walter j 8
had killed a couple hogs and made!?
some hash and had barbecue meat
for sale and Adam had sent a pigjS
over to be barbecued for him and we
decided chat we would have a bar- j
becue breakfast and it was fine. The j
| remainder of the day was spent at:
I Pomarda and Little Mountain and j
resting and lounging at home. You i
know I was let off for a couple days i
to rest and do nothing and I fol-J

They live all around there and it is
really a country village and they are '

Jim Wheeler cam? down S^fur&kyn
? * ' ' ?_ : M?i.r
afternoon at Mams mviw?Livii w ?
join us in attending service.at old I
St. Johns. You know this "was Jim's 1
home church and where he was con'- I
firmed and he lived near the church I
for many years, and was one time a I
Lutheran^ but when he married a I
good Mefhodist he went with her to I
the Methodist church. This is one of 11
the old churches of this country. The g1
present building I am told < wass I j
erected about 1808 and still is well I j
preserved and looks good. It has re- B i
cently been repainted and inside and I j
out and is As neat as you would care 8
to see. The gallery-is there as of I
old and was built for the use of the I
negroes but the high pulpit is gone I |
as well as the sounding board and a. I
nice altar in its place and recess for I
the pulpit. There was a large con
cnreeaticft present and many of the |
people I knew and they all gave me B|
ji warm welcome and an invitation to ?
come again. The nails in this church 9
were made in a blacksmith shop and ?J
are of good irqn. - Mr. William Sum- I
mer had the church bulit and the r
' nails made. There was a church Ij
building before this built of logs and I
used afterwards as a school house 8
And by tiie way ine scnooi nouse jlux
this district stands near the church.
The congregation o.wns a large tract
of land much of it in original forestN
of oak and hickory and the land is
fine. The Rev. Mr. Stroup is the pastor
of this congregation in connection
with Piney Woods and preaches here
on the second and fourth Sundays.
He preached a good sermon on Sun
j 7
day Oil me De&uiy auu vdiuc ui
: merciful and the duty of it. The
graveyard near by the church has
very few graves for a church as old
as this. And there seemed to be very
few very old ones according to the
markers and yet there are many
graves there that have no mark at
all. And then in the early days it
was the custom to have family bury i*i?
crrrmnHs and even at St. Pauls
which is also one of the old congre- I
gations of the country there was no I
burial ground at the church until the I
latter half of the last century. ,1
i And by the way when I was over I
home the other day I was telling toy H
father about my visit to old St. Johns I
and he asked me .if they still had the |
box pews.. He said he at one time was
a pretty regular attendant on
preaching at this church and in those
days they had regular box pews and
on a hot summer day when you got
settled in one of them it was about
as hot a place as you would find, sol
deep were tfeey that all the air was<
cut off. They are gone now but the*
good women are talking right now
about placing new and more comfortable
seats in the church and no doubt
will soon provide them. ,
I am going back down in this section
again some time before long and
spend a few hours in that fine library^
at the residence of Mr. John Sum-,
mer. I have very cordial invitation
from Mr. and Mrs. Summer to
do so. This is a good section of
_ country, the land is productive and R
as a rule the people grow on the I
farm what they need for the farm -I
'and always have a little 'money and If
i plenty to eat and they know how to 11
. prepare it. The roads could be im- I
proved by a little m-are work. The 9
, chain gang has been there but you eg
I know that after the work that the S
