FINE SPIRIT lit The subscribers to whonl we mailed tl notices that the subscription had ex- D pired, and whom we asked to let us a< know if they wanted the paper to' come on, and if it was not convenient j for them to pay just now we would | carry the paper a Jittle while for them have made us feel good by the very ( a cordial and fine spirit which they are, H manifesting by the many letters we j P are receiving. Some are sending jC( fifty cents and some one dollar and.4 some two dollars and some write that j they want the paper and that they will. f; pay soon. It makes us feel good to i o receive the many kind letters we are s< getting from the members of our big s< family, and the fine spirit of loyalty, tl wrtirh thev all breathe. We need the 1 ^ " 1 money, but, of course, if you want S , / the paper we will send it on if you s< f desire and wait on you ajvhile for the b money. We do not want to part with j a single one of you, and yet we do 7 not want any one to feel that we are: e making an effort to force the paper: on you, if you do not care to have it, and do not intend to pay for it. Your kind words and spirit of co-| ?Deration in this time when we are ~x down in spirit-helps us to bear up and p will give us strength to make you ev- j en a better paper than we have been j( able to do heretofore. This is a time for cooperation. A time to bear and n forbear and all things will come out; right. . j d The editor of this paper is an opti- ^ mist by nature and inheritance and, always looks on the bright side. Just' g now he is walking under the rod, and j a kind, word from those who have1^ been true to us during all the years we have labored here will be more helpful than almost anything else that i could be given. | ^ The seventh of this month will ' mark thirty four .years of our contin- ^ uuous and consecutive connection , J with The Herald and News as editor and part owner and manager of the paper. We have had many trials and troubles, but we have always found the big heart of the good people of this community to be in the right ^ place and to beat responsive when re- g< nAnciro Kpafinc was helDful.. 0^UU04fV vwv. v...D ^ .. When Mr. William P. Houseal ar,d e P the present editor took over the pa- ^ per on the 7th of March, 1887, there , were only about 400 names on the ^ mailing list. We* now have 2700, ^ about the largest number any paper ever had that was printed in this j county, and^we are gratified that they are loyal and tnte and desire to re- , .., ?h mam with us. I R The Herald and News has stood all A the years for the things that were for'" the uplift and betterment of.the peo-' pie, and for those things that wouM build. We have never been a de- ^ structionist. Nothing has even been ^ proposed for the good of the community that failed to have the hearty ^ support of The Herald and New?.

Swittenberg, 1525 Har ington street, was entered by a burrlar. Mr. Swittenberg was at his >usiness at Summer Bros, hardware ;tore, while Mrs. Swittenberg was out ihopping, leaving the home vacant. The thief evidently knew there was 10 one in the house. He went to the ear and cut the screen door, going n and preparing to steal what he! :ould find of value. Fortunately Mrs. j swittenberg didn't stay out long and | vhen she returned she found the ne-j *ro in the hall. As soon as he saw | ler he ran out, got over the back! ?ence and fled. With good presence I )f mind Mrs. S wittenberg got her pis;ol and fired at the scoundrel as he vas jumping the fence. It was quick vork on the part of Mrs. Swittenberg, vho remembered that Mr. Switten- J )erg had told her to use the pistol on just such occasions, as that was the' ;hird time their house had been en- J ;ered by robbers in the eight years' >f their residence there. However, ;he didn't hit the man, but she showed she was brave enough to shoot, ai;hough she didn't aim to kill him, only .0 wound him to effect his capture, fust as soon as she had shot she sent na call for the police and for her lusband. In the meantime Mr. J. P/m. Smith, her brother, living next ioor, hearing the shot ran over and jave chase, keeping in sight of the nan and did good and effective work n his short cut across fields and over ough places, not minding the bad earing of his clothes, a portion of vhich he lost. Very quickly after ;he call Sheriff Blease, Deputy Tayor and Mr. Swittenberg reached the louse and immediately began the man lunt, Chief Rodelsperger joining ;hem in the automobile. 1 Other officers and citizens joined J-1 -i- rru ~ Un /I rtonvc. n tne puisuiL. j.u~ negiu uau ^vuaoid down Scott's creek across College street on to glance, crossing at the )ower house and going through the 3cppock grove, crawling under the ioure of Mr. B.

He gave his name as Ellerbe from Clinton and is about 20 pears old. He has been in Newberry for some time and was a waiter at the Hotel National.

Killed by Falling Tree Mack Suber, colored, 21 years old, vas accidentally killed Friday after7 " w T _ loon, while cutting trees on Mr. jos. L Keitt's place 10 or.ll^miles from ;he city. Coroner F.

From the eviience of the two witnesses it was found that the death was purely acridental and accordingly the coroner returned a verdict "that Mack Suber :ame to his death by accidental fallmr of a tree he was cutting on Feb ruary 25, 1921." The following was the testimony submitted: Frank Sims, sworn, said: Mack 3uber and I were cutting trees, and Dne lodged, and we cut another one to make it fall; and when that tree fell it swung around and the butt of it swung around and hit him, Mack Suber, in the breast and killed him instantly.

' 4- IUa -T/%11 rvTiri r? rr "fnv VAllT POfl- ! &UUII111/ tllw lunuuias A _ _ __ O * J sideration. j This topic was recently suggested;1 I by Dr. John E. White for discussion i ' i in the mid-week prayer meeting, and was ably discussed. Some points I! j shall present were discussed there, j I while others were not. | Youth is the time and home the1 : place to sow the seeds of obedience 1 j I ! to law. Parents should be sure that ! their rules and regulations for gov1 . j i erning their children are ngnc auu ( that the children carry them out to j the letter. A child very young knows j the meaning of simple words. I re-j cently told a baby 14 months old to; close the door, and he immediately j j obeyed. This is the age to begin i I with them. Thev will of course want1 I 'their own way, but can be more eas-j | ily controlled then than later. They 1 will soon learn that mother's word is' I ion' as the case may ; or llUL, klicil - _ 'be. That of course depends upon the i I mother's firmness....This disregard of j J parental authority by one who is very ' young is rebellion against home laws! i which later may" become a serious! . form of lawlessness against the state. I j Generally speaking, children of our \ ! day are not rearexLas strictly as they 1 were even as eariy as I can remem- j ber. It was stated by a gentleman 1 1 in one of the gapers recently that ! when he was young children did as ! their parents tol J them, while too i ! often now parent? do as their chil- j T?_ rno\r if a | I dren say. una uo u ? - j fact that respect for home authority is not so great as in days gone by. i Times have chanfted, but the home J should never fce allowed to lose its ! hold upon the -ehiUlren. A gentleman j of this city recently told us his chil' drcn went nowhere unless he or j ! their mother either accompanied them ! ! or knew where .they were going, j I ' ' I ! They started this practice when the I children were quite young and now they have no trouble in carrying out their wishes in this matter. M f Vir?mr? nracticcs iUail^ .. x ! which at first sight may appear harm-1 less often,produce results. To allow a child to use a toy pistol, laughingly telling him to shoot some one in the j family, is to run a risk. Ke may later I perform the real act. The same is! true as to permitting children to see! exciting pictures *of dangerous hap-! penings. robberies, murders and the' like. If an exciting book is bad for) a child, how much worse is an exciting; j picture. I may be the only person j of my age in town who has never vis-1 j ited a picture show, but I see enough ! j of them on the bill boards and the j paper advs. to satisfy me as to what J ! they will do for grownups and espec- J j ially for childien and young people. I j I think there is a great deal of incon I sistencv as to present day practices.1 Mothers will see that their small- i est children are faultlessly shod and i dressed, often to the child's discom-i fort in hot weather. It is rightly con-1 I sidered rude of course for grown-ups. j to appear in company barefoot, andj ! yet these same people who are* so j careful in dress will visit shows to- J gether, young and old. male and fe-1 male, and see without a word of eri-j ) i I ticism women improperly dressed. No1 1 ~ onrl I I WGJlCltr I f 1 IS IS CtII ci&t U1 uv/iuuvcg unu j bad morals! Xo wonder so many i I i girls :ro astray! Xo wonder so manyi boys turn out badly! Our county superintendent of edu-1 cation recently described in a local paper how he saw a boy drinking in a ' good picture. Also in another city he, i saw a group of school children wit-j ness the acts of Jesse James as pic-1 tared on the screen. He further, stated that store robberies in that' city increased rapidly soon afterward, these being performed chiefly by youths. The homes of these children should have said: "No" to them as to entering that show, and should have insisted that they meant exactly what thev said. Thev should have , r done this both by precept and ex- f ample. If parents frequent these places, children naturally think they should jro also, since papa and mama ?0. o Vil I VI O* OC Ck fnvm nf lawlessness ! should be carefully guarded against in its possible beginnings by the home. Young men have been known Lo tell their mothers it was no worse to play cards for money in a secret: place than for her to play cards in the parlor for a prize. Playing cards as a social pastime is j useless. It is a waste of time. There! is of course mental strain in it. Time ! i is too precious and the mind.tocvaluable thus to be wasted and injured by strain. I find it much better to keep busy than to have time hanging on my hands; and when I do have a little leisure, I find that time never hangs heavy on my hands, as I cannot do for others near what I would like to do in the time I have. If all women loved domestic duties as I love mine and would dispense with servants, there would be no time for those useless, idle and often harmful ways of spending precious time. Besides this, the influence of social cards is bad. To my way of thinking, the principle of prizes in the parlor and money in the gambling den is the same. Certain it is that many boys and young men see it that way. The women in our part of town don't worry about cards.
