The mailing: list has not been corrected for several weeks and many who have paid and who paid before the first of July have not been credited on the label so the date on the label is no indication of how the matter of subscription stands with you. We will correct the list as soon as oossible. Do not delay the sending of that dollar for a whole year of The Herald and News. Just one year for, one dollar. No more and no less. It does not matter what the time of the expiration of your subscription. One dollar pays for one year. Applies to new or old, all alike. Sale closes on the 31st of this month. i JJon't lorget io enroi so tnai juu may be able to vote in the primary. And it does not matter how many times you may have enrolled in the past or how many registration tickets you may have 'if your name is not written on your club roll book by your own hand you will not be allowed to vote in the primary. The club hook is in the hands of the secretary of your club and if it is not he will be able to tell you where it is. ^ We are glad to see the policy of city council to put down permanent coping along the streets. This is what should have been done long ago, and the money spent on temporary work would by this time even, if started a few years ago, have given us permanent cement copings along " 1 x i J n.o an OI tne most traveieu siuewcwivo. Wish they would fix up Nance from Boundary to Friend. We should be glad to contribute our mite to that end. And then it is one of the avenues of entrance to the city from one of the highways. It should be fixed. The birth rate in Newberry county stands at the top of the list of counties in the per centage. Horry county comes first with 42.8 births for population of 1,000. Berkeley is next with 37.1 per 1,000; Saluda is lowest with 19.3 per 1,000 of population. Newberry has 31.3 per 1,000 of population, or a total number of births of 1,118. These figures are given by the bureau of vital statistics for the year 1921. The total births in South Carolina during 1921 according to the bureau of vital statistics was 50,538, and the number-per 1,000 of population was 28.3. I At the recent meeting of the Press association a resolution was adopted on th* motion of Mr. 0. O. Hear on cf th-3 Spartanburg Herald to ihe effect th*.t the newspapers :f th.* siate go back to that good old custom of exchanging papers. The first of the dalies to come to this office is the Greenville News and along with it a nice letter from Editor Peace saying pleasant things about the resolution to exchange as in the old days. And it is a pleasure to us to exchange as we did in the other days. We did not like this thing of trading checks or exchanging checks. I We are a little surprised and disappointed at the attitude of Senator lanev, one of the candidates for governor. He seems to be just a little free in the use of ugly epithets. And he flings them at mere rumors. He denounced the rumor which he eaid he heard that he had ever sup-^ ported Blease ,ns a "dirty lie," and words to that effect. There was no use for him to say that. No one would inquire in this good day who any one had supported or not sup-j ported in the past. And besides that it is by implication at least an insult to any and all men who ever had voted for Blease. And some just as true patriots and as good men as. Senator Lanev or any other citizen J have voted for Blease. It was so un-j called for in him to make any such: insinuations as must follow from! what he is reported as saying, that; we are disappointed. ??Pi II We quote from the Union Times! three sentences from the speech ofj President Harding made at his homej town on July 4. They carry a timely j warning, and as the Times well says j should be soberly pondered in this; time when strikes are the order of the, day. These are the sentences refer-! red to: "A free American has the; right to labor " -ithout any other's! > !1 UTi ?! I 1 7 ! leave. 11 win oe a sorry cay wneu group domination is reflected in our; laws," and "The greatest traitor to his country is he who appeals to prejudice and inflames passion, when soI ber judgment and honest speech are' so necessary to lirnily establish trail- j quilitv and security." These words are true and timely, and should be consdiered carefully, and heeded. We should not make any effort to enact class legislation and never should appeal to passion and j prejudice be made. We have always been of the opinian that any man should be left free to work for whom j he pleased. And if he was not satisfied with the wage or the conditions, he should go and work for someone else, and should make no effort to keep any one else from working. In other words, we do not oelieve that strikes can be justified by any condi-; tions. We should be left free to do j as we please in the matter of working or not for any individual or any company. When you take any other position you are .interfering with the freedom and the liberty of the individual. j The state campaign parfy takes a rest until the 17th. There has been no special feature connected with the campaign up to this time and all the candidates for governor seem to be conducting the campaign on a high plane and there has been no abuse brought into the speeches by any of the candidates. The race for state superintendent n - 1 1 i ft 1 n cnipp OX 6QUC&L1UI1 Hcis nau <x uuuv injected by Mr. Hope and Mr. Swearingen. Mr. Hope charges that the dual plan of adoption of text books will CG6t the people of the state a good sum and Mr. Swearingen replies "by saying that Mr. Hope is a book agent and should not hold the position of state superintendent of education unless of course the people should desire to have a book agent. 'Mr. Hope claims that he is making an honest living and the job of book representative is an honest one and he c?n see no reason why she should 'be barred from the office because he was doing honest work. We do not think that has anything to do with it or the fitness of either for the position. Mr. Swearingen of course is only one of a board of nine members who made the adoption of books and is not alone responsible for the books adopted. We think, however, the board should have adopted instead of making so many optional adoptions. If you are going to leave it to the various schools for instance to make choice between two geographies why not let each district or each school select from among a dozen. In other words if the state board is to adopt it should adopt. That is the way ft appears to us. : What has become of the suggestion, which we understood was agreeable to the trustees of Rosemont, to have a meeting of lot owners and see ifwe could agree upon some plan by which the grounds and driveways might be improved, and the general appearance of the place made at least a little better. I Somehow we have an idea that the people of Newberry would be more than willing to do something to improve the appearance of the city of the dead if some one would take the lead and permit -them to contribute * i xl i.L^ to tnat purpose ana assure tnem me money would be used for improvement. No one can go over to Rosemont without a feeling that the sacred spot is being fearfully neglected. And who is more interested in the improvement than the folk who have loved ones buried there. As Mr. Leavell said in an article he published in the papers a short time ago, it will take money to make the improvements that should be made. Tnc?f Kcliox'n fVio'f Vio nonnlp n"f Newberry would furnish the money if they were given the opportunity and some organized plan were adopted for the raising and the spending of it. And we understood that Mr. Leavell and the other trustees were going to call a meeting of the lot owners and see if something could "be done. Why wait. It seems to us that the place gets worse and worse and the driveways are just being washed into ditches as the rains come. All the people are interested in the keeping of Rosemont and in the making of it a beautiful place. Let us all get together and do something and do it now. Why wait. Only about 100 subscribers renewed and came on as new during the first week of the sale and we were just making a calculation that it will be impossible to take in all of them by the 31st of July unless they come faster, though that is very good considering the news has not spread all around in the few days the sale has been on. We desire to write at least 2,000 receipts during this "big sale and they will have to quicken the step if we do that. We are sure the rush will be on in earnest this week. The Herald and News for one year for a dollar is a bargain and one that you do not pick up 3very day in. the week. Tell your neighbors about i ' it and come right along before th rush during the last few days of th sale. Positively no extension of ?.h time ?r.c'- you may pay under thi ?ule it lrptters no: to what date y?* have paid and by paying one do' rnn onf on onii'rt VPI1!'. i CI L ^ UU ^ c ail V t A I A' w %i r MR.
