Thursday, May 9, 1912. ft is inspiring to read of a church in Spartanburg being built in one day. The undertaking showed a most commendable spirit. After the disastrous fire two months ago, the Union Times is back in its own building, with a new press, a new folder, and a new linotype. Congratulations. Let every citizen support the ladies J-'1 in fhnir ofPrvftfl OI tilt! uvit' league hi wen vuv.?? for a clean town. Cleanliness means health, so everybody should co-operate to make Bamberg a clean town. No corporation lawyer should be elected to the legislature. Had it not been for attorneys in the general assembly many laws for the better protection of the public would have been passed long ago, and these same attorneys were employed by the railroads. The county convention held last Monday did not discuss the question of putting the officers of the county on a salary basis, all fees to go to the county, but the issue is bound to be a live one before the campaign in this county is over. Mark our prediction. Now that the railroads have refused to carry out the reasonable regulations adopted by the legislature as to mileage books, the general assembly at its next session should pass a flat two cents mileage rate and enforce it. The railroads should be brought to terms. They are getting entirely too much in the habit of doing their own way, regardless of the people or the laws. Hon. Jas. F. Byrnes is making a fine record in congress. He succeeded in getting together all of the members who had offered good roads bills, and now the house has passed the postoiiice appropriation bill which carries from $16,000,000 to $18,000,000 for good roads. We hope to see a lot of this money come into the second district in the next few years for good roads, and it only remains with our people as to whether it shall. In writing of the meeting of the State Press Association at Spartanburg next month and a trip over the ? ~ ~ 'X T-* - 1 3 ? 1 r* <J., U. & V-?. Kauruau, nit; *jriecu?wu Index states that the association took a trip over this same road two years ago at a cost of $17.50 for each person, and this year the rate will be $15.00. The Index is in error. The rate on the trip two years ago was $12.00 for each person, and why it should be $ 15.00 this year we cannot understand. This matter of working the roads only bears out what The Herald has been contending for for years, that is greater publicity in our county affairs. There should be a monthly reportf rom the Supervisor's office showing every act of the board and what every dollar was expended for. Had this plan been in force possibly there would have been less criticism of the county board, at least the tax payers wouia nave kiiuwu exacuj how and where the money was spent. Our legislators should pass a bill providing for the publication of full reports from all county officials. There should be a monthly report from the magistrates as to fines collected and the cases stated, in fact a full financial report from every officer. There was some opposition in th county convention to the resolutio of Mr. Mayfield in regard to Senate Tillman, and the resolution passe by a small majority, the vote bein 17 to 25. Some opposed the resoh tion for one cause or another, not a having the same grounds of oppos tion. The county convention set a goo example to the Democrats of Ban berg county. While there were di ferences of opinion, there was n friction. While the campaign in th: county is bound to be interesting, 1< it not be bitter. We all have to liv together here after it is all over, an our regard for each other should b greater than any political issue. We notice from the program c the State Press Association that ther are twelve subjects assigned t members on-which to prepare pt pers. We hardly see how these pg pers can be read in one day, and w fail to see why the meeting of th association should have been shori ened to only one day. The meeting have never been less than two day< and it seems to us that a serious mis take has been made. Train Derailed Near Columbia. Columbia, May 7.?A score o more of persons were injured whe train No. 31, on the Southern Raii way, from Washington to Jacksor ville, was derailed about three mile north of Columbia this morning a S o'clock.

Monday's Conventions. t i- From the report of the county ? ventions, it appears that the frf c of Judge Jones will control the S t- convention by a large majority, 's that the delegates will favor W 3? row Wilson for president. In n >- counties no contests were made, even in those counties a majorit the delegates to the State conven are said to favor the candidac; Judge Jones. Blease carried ? r berry solidly, and a delegation ol 11 friends was selected. In Dorc ter, Lee, and Laurens Blease ( l" gates were elected, and in Cha s ton and Georgetown there were L* tests and two conventions were 1 e These counties will each send s sets of delegates to Columbia. Charleston Mayor Grace took ch lt of things for his faction and he c I separate convention, while the o '' sition, with J. W. Barnwell as cl a man, held a convention as well s elected delegates, etc. s If the result of the county ventions is an index to the poli y_ situation in this State, the gove ^ is badly beaten and Woodrow Wi is the choice of the people for p e dent.
