For more than a generation the: present editor has been the editor of pr. the paper. We have seen many try-1 ing times and have had hard stru?-I ^ gie s, but we have always found the jc people kind and responsive and sym-j j* TMithptir and willine to bear with our shortcomings. fev; f;". The paper has battled many storms ' "3 and has had many struggles, but H|c' has battled them all and like Ten- ja ny son's Brook it goes on forever, jn Man may come and man may go but}* the old Herald and News goes right j on and will go on after the men who]*;1 are now making it have passed to the j . great beyond. j*' For some reason there was carried! on the front page for many years; 1 "Established in 1865." Just whoj put it there, or how it got there we j ' do not know, because the paper .wasj printed as the Newberry Herald dur- p f iag the war of the sixties and a part s 4 of the time three times a week, and it is the lineal descendant of the Ris-i ing Sun and other papers published jf the fifties of the last century,). I we have the files of these old 13 In our record room, and the c ht on down to the present. a t how that got off, the front v \ do not know, but suppose 11 ps"" took it down. ! j * is nd -great reward in the J er game in a financial way as found, hut there is a fasci- ^ rich makes one delight in the jid- it is work. Very few of ? itry publishers of this state L :ame wealthy, but most oxf J inaged to get along and do ^ -in^the service of their day IWe desire to ieueitaie our reau- t ers m this good day of grace and to t say'that while just now the horizon ? may appear a little dim and darh the sun will come out before long j and the "times" will get better and 13 this country will prosper in a substantial way. We need to have tno J spirit of optimism and to put a lit- 9 tie peptlaiism in with our optimism. J The channel of trade seems to be H dammed up just a little how, but) J that will come out all right and tlr- U waters will .flow freely again. Th^jJ is that the cur re nt, '.vn s cut' 71 off too |uddenly and the rfhock there-} J fore is too great, but-we imist stan-l ^ the test and- bear and forbear. AVV j t have the 'things here that make - prosperity, but just new they are tie; it what the financiers call jft any rate at this glari time le?.{ "every one fqrget (lull care and the j 'J doll times and be bright ami cheer- j fui and to do that thirty in the best] t * possible way and to get the bt-st re- j J salts for one's self, is to mafce some;} one else .happy. j c Wishing the many readers ofv this? o good old paper a happy Christmas j p and a prosperous New Year and , ? many returns, we thank you for your! kind consideration and generous sup-1 r port We will always try to do our e best. ... a ? mm y The correspondents of the daily n and weekly papers continue to dis- o cuss the appropriations by the next J, legislature as proposed by the budget. 3 committee. Of course every one j n knows that the legislature is not go- b ing to increase taxes just at this time, p fg and we suppose the committee was p X. well aware that no such appropriation t bill as it suggests would meet with f ^ *vS:. favor by the members of the legisla- s .. ture. Governor Cooper himself says n |$>J that it is impossible. And yet it may n be well that the different depart- f ' raents made the large requests that r ? nni] fVl sppcsr 111 llit UUUgCL anu K11UV Ituv?.v. ? f is such a committee and that the pro- J o posed budget has been made up and'g published, because it creates discus- s sion and the members will have op- I portunity to get a symptom of how a the people feel about the matter and i some idea of public opinion as to the J increase of taxes. The four state colleges are asking f ? ' aTAnnd nno million I t. 811 iiicrc<tac vi aivunu w?v .......? dollars over what they had last year. \ It would be well for them at this time I to cut down their requests and be 2 willing to run for at- least another g year without such extensive improve- v t > * - " \ " ' . lents. It is a bad time just now to a roject any building schemes any 2 ay. And there are other things that an be cut down without detriment * > the public service or the public 'elfare. Governor Cooper is right that the * runing knife should not be put to ic common schools because that is k le only school for a great majority * f the children and if that is crip- t led then you cripple the work of ' taking citizens and take away the j1 nly opportunity that many of these lildren will* ever have for an edu-i'1 ition. ; K c An esteemed svtbsevJui ? vefjurst m ' iai, w? ask.soise suv.iori k> i; im who *vas iho frtih? i-uj-iaw ofj* (oses.
