ITOI II C ? wn TO ID T II ATinWC f A friend of The Herald and News Remarked to the editor this week, when he saw that we were moving that we would come out with a statement, unavoidably delayed in the publication owing to moving the plant. He was aboi^t ' correct, and yet we are not going to make a hab it of making excuses. We do the best we can and let the consequences take care of themselves. We learn ed that lesson long ago. When you have done that no more could be ex pected, but it must be an honest ei fort I have been connected with The Herald and News now for more than thirty-five years. Two moves have been.made during that time. A pretty food record, we think. We *ere first located on the corner of Friend and Caldwell streets, just on the corner across from where Miss Ruff's store is located, and now a part of the lawn of Central Methodist church, "*' m to -rocirlpri 2Q and Mr. i. r. uicuca^i o a was in Caldwell street very close to the printing1 office. It was a one sto ry wooden structure built by Mr. T. F. Greneker. $he Methodist par sonage stood a little further up from the spot where the church now stands and the church fronted Johnstone street, not a great way from pres ent parsonage. The residence of Mr. Greneker was destroyed by fire one night, and the fire also consumed part of the print shop, and so ruined the building that we could not use it. a Most of the printing material was saved and I managed to get out the old files of the paper wirnoui, mju^. They were the first things I thought . of saving, because more type and presses" could be bought, but once the files are destroyed there would b eno way of replacing them. , We then rented a room in the row of brick buildings in Friend street, and moved the shop to the room now occupied by the drug store of Singleton. We remained there for several years and operated the presses with a kerosene engine which gave a good deal of trouble, and then I bought a regular wood boiler, and we got our motive power for the machinery from that source. That was before the town had a day electric current, and before we had even electric lights. After that we put in a gasoline en* gine and got our power from tb;t source.' A little more than 20 years ago I bargained for the lot where The Herald and News has been printed since that time, and also including the lot on which the Newberry Hard ware store stands, which at that time was vacant, the only building on the Tat beine the front of The Herald and News building which is now used by Miss Ruff for her store, except an old log house which stood in th$ * rear and which I was told was once a part of the jail of the county. There was a well of fine water which was just in the rear of the old part of the present building, and the wa ter from this well was used by Mr. Ed Scott who owned the lot and the building prior to its coming into the possession of Mr. P. E. Scott. At one time the "postoffice was in this build ing, and before that time it was used as a barroom when it was thought proper to sell real good wni3*ey, <wu people did not get drunk very much. There is a place in the floor of this building now, and a hook on the cell ing, by which th? barrels of whiskey were let into the cellar and hoisted to the barroom when the supply in that department had to be replenish ed. /Those were good old days when people lived worth while. During the ownership of Mr. Ed. A. Scott he ran a tailorshop in the f>*onc room and his insurance business in the rear ana uvea upsiairs. uc v.?o - highly educated man and loved the company of his friends and knew how to entertain them. So -nuch for this bit of history which may bo inter esting to some of the readers of The Herald and News. Our trials and tribulations bogan 1 T + r\ nut lin o K11 i 1H - "vvneu x uuuci iuujv iv ing and did put up the .brick annex to this old building to be used as a printing office. Mr. L. W. Floyd of ten told me that it did not pay to own your own store or office in the town, that it was much cheaper to rent than to own, and I soon found that he was a much better business man than I was and that what ue said vas too true. But I put up this building and .The Herald and News was moved into it. The upstairs was fitted up for the Newberry club and was occupied as such for a good while, but unfortunately the club did not meet with popular favor as it was operated, and it was discontinued and the upstairs was used for a time for the job department and the of iices and tne linotype macnine. .-viu;r the building passed out of my hands, for the reason that I did not take the advice of my friend, Mr. Fiovd, and rent instead of trying to own, the en tire plant was moved down stairs. One of the first linotype machines in a country printing office in South Carolina was the one installed in The Herald and News office about the time we moved into this new build ing. Mr. W. B. Werts who had learn ed the printer's trade with us was op orating a machine at Sparatnburg, and he made a bargain with The Herald and News to buy a machine and come over to Newberry and set the type for us. We were then print ing, or had been, the Lutheran Vis itor, but Mr. W. P. Houseal who *was the publisher, decided to move that publication to Columbia under a trade with the Lutherans by which a publication house was to be estab lished in the south, and that left us only The Herald and News to print, which was then, we think, printed only once a week. We soon started to publish twice a week and ab ?ut 1902 we concluded to launch into the daily field,, and the Evening Tele gram was launched on the newspaper seas, and had a lively and checkered career for seven months, when we de cided to cease publication because we were getting too much fun out of the game for the outlay of money and labor in return. Moving a newspaper office is a big job. I knew that when I decided to move. It is also -an expensive job. I knew all this when I undertook it, but then there is trouble in anything that you undertake to do. To be at cne place for more than twenty years makes you feel like it is home. When +V10 liriftt.vnp down WC C3II1C l KJ L anc uiv and get ready we found that Miss Ruff, in building a rear stairway to the upstairs, had taken up part of the rear doorway, and it was necessary to cut out part of the brick wall in order to get the machine out on the street. We . undertook the job in the evening after the day's work on the machine had been finished. It took until 12 o'clock at night to get out on the street with the body of the machine. And then we put it on a pair, or a triplet, of wheels, one like they use at the Southern depot to unload heavy freight from the' cars. We then pulled it down the street, having secured permission from the mayor to do so. When we reached the entrance to the room we are oc cupying under the National hotel,, there is a rise, and it took some ef fort to make the hill, and while we were just as quiet as the proverbial mouse the proprietor came out and said please to stop as we were dis turbing the guests at the hotel. Well, we complied as soon as we got the machine out of the street into the building, but we could not stop be fore that time, even if it did disturb the quiet of the sleepers, and while we regret that we should have been any annoyance to any one, it could * v- j tioAoiKp +hp ox was not ue ncipcu, k/ev?u?v ? ? in the ditch and had to get out. Mr. Jas. L. Aull had charge of the moving for us, and he was assisted TT r* --rl TT CJ Galiman and John Wilson and Pleas Boyd, and they all worked faithfully 2nd loyally. And we appreciate it. The other part of the shop, with the* exception of the big press, we will try to move on Friday, though a good part cf the day will be taken up with the printing and mailing of the Fri day paper. Our real trials and trib-, ulations will be on when we under I take to move the big press, and then again we will have to be a day late, and we have asked the Obserrver to print The Herald and News for us, if we should take more than the time hptween Dress days in the moving, which no doubt we will. We are moving into the room un der the National hotel next door to the store of Henry R:k.ird and -also adjoining the court house lawn. We came near not stating to what piace we are moving. It is sor.te.' like writ ing up. a wedding and almost forget ting to name the bride and the groom. We will be glad to have our friends call at the new place when they want to see us on busings. The business office and the editorial desk have al ready been moved. And don't for gret when you come to bring along at least the price of six months sub-, scription. We will need your help ,1 now more than ever, because all this' expense is extra to the regular ex-J pense of printing a newspaperr, and if any one does not believe that it is a hopper with a great feed let him) undertake the job. And it will not ' take long to part him with his cash. Another bit of history which shews how the world is moving, and the ra pid gait at which it is pacing, hap pened when we moved from the lit-1 tie brick room down the street to the j brick house which we built in Friend street. As stated, we were using a gasoline engine as motive power, i and at the new building we had built' on every foot of the land, and we got nMovmon A"f ffio . pui Miiisaiun iiviu uic ai ward to place our gasoline tank in, the street under the sidewalk, and to that end built a brick cement/ house in which to place the gasoline' tank. When the mayor found it out; he ordered it taken up, as it would; be dangerous, and when we became. a little stubborn and refused he had a warrant issued for our arrest for, refusing to obey the mandate of thei mayor. We had to obey, and our little house did not do us any good., We put the tank up side the wall of; the house and went 'along, and we' are here yet. Every time we walk! along the streets and see the numer-!. ous gasoline tanks under the ground :. holding thousands or gallons 01 gaso line -we can not help thinking of out experience with out little pit to con tain a gasoline tank with only three gallons of gasoline. The world moves and the times change. We hope now to be rid of gasoline alto gether as we have an electric heater which we hope to put on as soon as we get really installed and at work in1 our new quarters. We feel that we( are going to be pleased with the; room, and that we will be better pre- j pared to print a real newspaper, and we will continue the job as best we j can as long as we can. We have been here at the news-! rvor^r ramp a ffood line time. There i are but few merchants in business here who were here when we took; charge of The Herald and News. Ini fact, so far as we recall, 0. Klettner and William Johnson are the only two, and Mr. Johnson was not in business for himself then, as our memory serves us. In looking over the old files of The Herald and News at times, when we have the leisure,' we feel rather a sort of personal pride in the record that is there writ- j ten. There has never been a .time in J .< all that record when The Herald and 1 News was not boosting and making : an effort in its feeble way to help < Newberry and her people. No wor- ' thy enterprise has ever failed to have.T ? cnnnnrf The record is. UUi 11 V/fti V* w? ? there, it is writ. We were ' in the forefront of the fight when the Boundary street school was built, the first of our fine graded school sys tem. We heloed to organize the first telephone system that was built in the town. We led the boosting ?or| the establishment of the water and light system and made the fight for the sewage system, and as for good roads and the split log drag we have j written miles and miles of copy. The^ record is there. It is writ in these old files which we have. On the oth-1 i er hand, the people of this good town have been kind to us, and indulgent, with our short comings. Somefimes we have said things that did not please. We did not mean to offend, j * 1 nnhlie w e naa in mum uju; t , good. But to be frank, in those ear- j ly days ^ve did not mind a little scrap,; ( either in the newspaper or* other- < wise. In fact, at times, rather en-' I ' joyed it. But we have mellowed as ^ the days have gone and now we do j not enjoy an y sort of scrap, and will j not have it if we can possibly avoid it. So long as we *re connected with! The Herald and News it shall be de-i voted to the schools for the chil- j dren, to the building of good roads and to the. betterment of the people, and whatever aid we may be able to give to any good and worthy cause ( it shall be given. Now, this is a little long story, and . * 1 ~ ? v>a*5/} if wKl' lTIst II you UU nut iaic uu xtc*v* iw) ??? pass it up and no one will be offend ed. But somehow we just felt like writing it, and it is writ and will be published. E. H.

Cut corn from cob. Remov? seeds and white fibre from the sweet pepper. Cut the pepper into fine j strios and cook five minutes in the j butter. Add the corn and cook for ten to fifteen minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add the salt, pa prika and green olives. Serva* $ > ^ AT EIGHTY-FIVE <$>! <5> I have but little now to tell, Except that I am still alive, j And, thank God, feeling fairly well, And cheerful, too, at eighty-five. But on my birthdays now I find A stern compulsion to reflect: And then there comes to my old mind A very serious retrospect. Among my memories there are some: Which bring me no small pleasure yet; Eut always with them others come Of things which I would fain for get. But there's a future for us all, In which we may ' make some amends, And, if we heed our duty's call, Improve ourselves, and help our friends. And there is fixed for everyone, Duty that should be promptly met, Whether we have life's morning sun, Or life's sun be about to set. And surely, whether small or great, 'VJa ?lrnrvTTT Vio ic +Via T?rkH1 mnTl Who learns to bear, to try, to wait, And always does the best h? can. 4 J So, being in this franie of mind, With loving friends }I still contrive To be right cheerful, for I find Life smooth and aiice at eighty five.

RESOLUTIONS BY COLONY CHURCH COUNCIL The council of Colony Lutheran church on Sunday, Sept. 24th, ap pointed the undersigned committee ^" Jv.r.-P+ oAmfl ydcnlivtinnc n'f SVTTlDa l/U Uiaiw x thetic love and expressions of sor row to our' former pastor and chil dren, Rev. W. K. Sligh, in the multi tude of sorrow th^,t so suddenly made their home a home of sadness. When we realize the sadness of a leaving her husbaj|<l?. children and mother setting her house in order, home, in perfect health, coming to visit her parental home, and only a few days after had arrived j death laid its hand upon her, and the wires take back the sad message that wife and mother is dead? Therefore, resolved, that we, as council members of? Colony church extend to tne ui-ukku ncax u^u umw band and children our deepest sym pathy, and to the children, our deep est feelings of sympathy in these sad hours. 2nd. We realize that this sum mons has come to you as it may seem at the time when the joy of your heart could be least spared., when most prized, most needed, most loved, but amid this picture of deso lation we would commend you to the one great God who has said, "As thy days are, so shall thy strength be." We again commend you to God and to the word of His grace. We com mend you above all to the tenderness ists alone in Jesus. Angels and archangels, never hav insr had sorrow, cannnot sympathize. that human sympathy which ex The glorious Being before whom they ;ast their crowns can. For sorrow tracked His footsteps from the man ner to the grave. Rev. L. P. Boland, T. J. Wicker, T. J. Wilson.
