There have been many new sub scribers added to the list during thdollar sale of The Herald and New and we have been unable to get th< list corrected. We will have this done just as soon as we can. In th meantime, we have been forced t< send the new subscribers in singl wrappers and sometimes that delay them for a day or two. We hop to have all this corrected in a shor time. We will also have the linotype re paired this week we hope and b able to get up more type. We an going to make the best newspape we have ever made and that will b< going some. But we know how anc we do not mind the work. It is jus as easy as going to mill to make i newspaper when you know how. Those subscribers who are in ar rears and did not take advantage oJ our cheap sale to get caught up wil be taken from the list just as soon a: we can get the lisi corrected. W( shall be sorry to part with them, bu we know it will be only temporary because once you have had the olc Herald and News coming to you i' will be like losing a member of the family for it to cease its visits. We understand that one of tm candidates for congress has beer making the editor of The Herald and News an issue in his speeches. Our only advice to him *is that he had better go along and give some reason for the people to vote for him, instead of taking up his time talking about the editor of this paper. W< are no candidate for congress. Bu"* i? he can get any pleasure out of the job let him go to it. We offered tc be fair to all the candidates and to give them the columns of the papei to give their reasons for supporting trie Donus. we nave said mat rreo Dominick would be elected. We still say that, because we have that faith in the good judgment of the people of this great third district. The state campaigners will be with us in a short time and then we will be able to get a closer viewpoint of them, and be able the better to size them up. Some of our people have never had the pleasure of seeing some of the candidates. They are to be here on Monday, August 14. rne meeting win oe neia m zne court house. It will be a novelty to hear the women of the campaign party speak. We will give all of them an attentive hearing and then the people can make up their minds as to whom they desire to vote for. <$v < <8> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <S> - ? ?s> <* ^ <#S ^ ^ | EDUCATIONAL RALLY AT LAU- j RENS. I had noticed in the papers that there were calls for educational j meetings or rallies in some of the i counties, at which meetings the trustees and the people generally were invited to be present, but especially the trustees so that they might discuss together the -financial conditions of the districts, and see what remedy could be applied to take care of the deficit. I had been thinking of the same thing, but I did not want to have the meeting until a statement could be submitted showing just how the districts stood, and j then we would know just how much; deficit we had in the several dis- j tricts. One of these meetings was; to be held in Laurens last Saturday,! and another was advertised for Greenville the same day. And both were held. Superintendent Wilson very kindly gave me an invitation to meet with his trustees and the good people of Laurens last Saturday, and - 1*1 _ _ J1 L . - 1_ 1 reaany accepted, not so mucn wnn a view of being of any material help in the matter of discussions, but to show my interest and to help as best I might be able, and to get information myself. This meeting was held under the direction of the various women's clubs of Laurens, and they gave their influence and their cooperation and Mrs. J. S Bennett presided and gave a hearty welcome to the meeting. And there was a fine at tendance of trustees and interested citizens present. Mrs. Bennett mada very graceful and happy speech of welcome and expressed in elegant terms the interest the women had in the cause of education, and how glad they were to have the meeting: and to give what i < ver aid the women might be able to ender. She then turned the meetng over to Mr. J. H. Sullivan who xplained the reason for calling the neeting, and he also discussed the arious state laws which gave aid to he common schools and said that ' ? >? flrjf cnmptliinp 1CI C ?vaa jivrv-coot mav *e done to keep these ischools going1, nd that the matter should be called o the attention xof the legislature, nd especially should the trustees nd those who knew the conditions ake the matter to the lawmaking >ody, and tell that body either to reeal ite laws ot make the necessary irovision in the appropriation bill to arry out the law and keep the ob"gation of the state with the various chool districts that have complied /ith the conditions. Superintendent Vilson then took a number of conrete examples from Laurens county nd showed just how the law was vork.ng in that county, and how ;nder present conditions it was im)ossible for the trustees of a num>er of state aided schools to avoid aving a deficit except oy failing to iay the teachers, and that was the esult in a number of the districts. >f course that is not right, but as he law is now operated it is imposible to avoid a deficit, it matters ,'ot how you work it, unless the peo >]p iust eo down in their pockets ind raise the money.^ Both Mr. Sulivan and Mr. Wilson said that there ad been no trouble with the mem)ers of the legislature from Laurens, 'hat they had not only voted but had vvorked for adequate appropriation :o carry out the law enacted by the egislature itself. I then talked to ;he people along the same lines and nade some suggestions. It was a -fine meeting and I be ieve will result in good. The people ire lacking in information along the lines of these various state aided jchools, and when they come to unlerstand the real and true conditions [ am persuaded they will demand that their legislature provide the lecessary funds to give to the children of the state at least a seven months school where the districts comply with the conditions laid down n the laws of the state. Resolutions were adopted calling on the legislature to provide the money to carry int ifn nwn Tavps fnr <sr4ir?nls should not be regarded as any other tax, but rather as an investment which will bring the biggest return, if properly applied, of any money che people can possibly spend. The ladies clubs served a delicious luncheon of ice tea and excellent and substantial sandwiches and the meeting was adjourned. I enjoyed my Trleif avooo/lino'lu rvmcV) anil OTllv V JCI V t AW J V* V* ? ? vwish that I could have remained longer after the meeting, bat it teing Saturday I hurried on home as quickly as I could, and though it was exceedingly hot I was home by 3 o'clock. I am thinking of having a meeting of trustees in Newberry county some time very soon and I would be very glad to have the cooperation and help of the women's clubs of Newberry, and I would be pleased to have them suggest some one or two speakers to give us information and encouragement and point the way to get the money to run the rural schools a iit tie ionger. Tfte minimum scnooi term should be not less than eight months. Most of the schools iii this county have had a seven months term and only about two had iess. Certainly in thi6 age we should not be satisfied to have anv of our schools have a less term than seven months and we should have a minimum of eight months. E. H.

PROSPERITY MAN TAKES OWN LIFE | J. W. Harman Cuts Throat With Razor?Found Dead by Brother The State. Prosperity, July 29.?J. W. Harman, well known Prosperity citizen, copimitted suicide last night, cutting his throat with a razor. Mr. Harman was found, dressed in night clothes, lying in his yard near the garage at about 11:30 by his brother, G. D. Harman. He was already dead from the less of blood. Mr. Harman had been complaining recently of feeling unwell, but his iamny saw no signs ujl serious mi health. Melancholia, induced by his illness, is supposed to have led him to take his own life. He w.as about 50 years of yge ar.d is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Harriett Harman, his brothers, Dr. G. D. Harman of Prosperity and J. Fred Harman of Newberry and four sisters, Mrs. J. Ben Black, Mrs. C. S. Schumpert and Miss Madge Harman of Prosperity and Mrs. W. C. Adams of Greenville, and Mrs. J. J. Amick of Chappells. Funeral services were held this afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Prosperity cemetery. THE LAST BRIGADE Stooping shoulders were straightened this morning; dim eyes for an hour were bright again. The "long roll" was sounding through the silence of sirty years; it was time to "fall in." They answered to the old names as they took their places? Jackson's Stonewall brigade and Hood's immortal Texans, Pickett's men and Stuart's cavalry, the gunners of Poague and Breather of Cutshaw and of Mcintosh. Every corps of the Army of Northern Virginia was represented; every army of the South?Johnston's and Bragg's, Dick , Taylor's and Kirby Smith's?was mustered; Forrest's cavalry was ready to spring to saddle at the first note of the bugle call. Such a column it was, gathered, from every command in the South, as might have marched in grand victorious review' if independence had been won in 1864 and a season of rejoicing had I been decreed in the capital of a tri- J 1 i ( umpnaui/ n<tuuu. It was the whole Confederate army to which the city paid homage? the whole army of which Lee had been given supreme command too late. Yet it was in numbers only a brigade. And it was the last brigade. The consciousness of that fact, striking the multitude while the cheer still was on its lips, made ma-J ny a man turn his face away, and, many a woman weep openly* The last brigade of the migniy: division at whose tread a continent shook?do the youth of this land re-; alize that brigade contains the survivors of the greatest army that ever fought? Have fathers been faithful j to their sires and have they taught j that lesson to the little children of i today, the grandchildren of the Con-' federacy? Have the voung men read Henderson's "Jackson,' Wyeth's "Forrest" and Captain Lee's "Recollections and Letters" of his father? Do the pcpole who hung out those Confederate flags this morning know with what rich hearts' blood those banners were dyed? The other, the inevitable question shapes itself, combat it as one may. WVion tViri voa r flip nf thp last brigade has passed, as it must despite the prayers of the South that it be spared a little longer?will the fourth generation still venerate the Southern cause? Will the inspiration we men of today have received from contact with thotse "gentlemen un-j afraid" be transmitted onward cen-| tury by century or it will slowly dis- j appear. As some agonized on Mon-! ument avenue this morning, perhaps they looked up and saw Lee in bronze.

Hundreds of medicines aro advertised to cure rheumatism, but not one is bringing to the public the evidences furnished by the new herbal remedy.' Dreco. "Dreco is the best rheumatism remedy I have ever seen." declares Mr. G. P. Puckett of Greenville. S. C.' "It has taken all the p?in from my t fnnl nrwl ctrnnc fltr/lin. JUiiilO unit a Itvi JVUU? w* . c I suffered tortures for Jpe&rs. I triefl everything: I ever heard of, but without result, until Bn.illy I discovered this herb medicine that really'has relieved my terrible pains." There is no excuse for rheumatism. People who have been tortured for years, yes. even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves, tell how they have b*en brought back to robust health through the mighty power.of Dreco. Dreco acts with speed. It brings its relief quickly and pleasantly, and when this takes place the- soreness and pnins in joint and muscles completely disappear.
