THE SCAPEGRACE.
One Who lives by an Ingenious
System of His Own.

We who earn our living by hard work
naturally regard with good deal of in
terest those who manage to dodge this
seeming necessity.
What are these mysterious mortals,
we say. who toll not, neither do they
steal, who have no property, nor any
apparent source of income, yet they
wear clothes. eat meals and sleep under
a good roof like the rest of US?
We have a habit of speaking with
contempt of these people, as though
they were beneath US in the social
scale. Are we not really in secret lit
tie envious of their originality and
courage?
If one should, for example, try the
simple rule of put yourself in his
place"
You, now, who make a living by some
occupation, commonplace but reliable
suppose you were to wake tomorrow in
a strange place, without money or
friends. and with all work prohibited
what would you do? How would you
arrange about breakfast, and, subse-
quently, about dinner, and supper, and
a bed, and then hume rous meals and
beds thereafter? Would you not be
frightened? Would you not be at a loss
what to do? Well, that is where you
would show your inferiority to those of
whom we speak.
1t must be admitted that they could,
If they wished, earn plain, honest liy-
ing as we do; whereas could we, by the
exercise of all our wits, exist a week
after their fashion? En- e1et, there YOU
have the whole matter.
Before undertook study of these
singular beings, had always thought
of them as class by themselves, pur-
suing, for tue most part, similar meth
DDS. To live without work constituted
in my mind prOfession-like law or
the ministry. wronged them. i did
not appreciate their fecund originality!
There is no profession that is common
to them all, but each has his own,
complete in itself, unique and delicate
as the miniature carved-work of the
Japanese.
To tell of them is to tell of individu-
ais, not of the class.
1ECES d. OuS NuO recently came 70
live al the very respectable boarding
place of the present writer. He was, as
the naturslists would say, an excellent
experimentation young, good looking,
well dressed and correctly hammered.
There are some OF this class who have
low habit of making a pretense of
earning living. They will maintain
an office with 'Real Estate or Com
mission" or something of that kind,
on the door. To no such stupid vulgar
ity did Mr.. Richard Kerth descend. Not
even a suggestion of work cast a cloud
upon his title of gentleman"
l had known something of the pre-
vious career of Mr.. Kerth, and when he
took possession of two of the best rooms
in the house / fastened to make his
acquaintance. He treated me with easv
condescension, and soon offered to Dor
row money of me.
I did not loan Mr.. Kerth anv money.

business and incur the criticism of all
the wealthy girl friends with whom 1

What shall do? Can not get some
private employment which would bring
me the revenue but not the unpleasant
taunts and remarks of the girls know?"
My correspondent in this case will ex-
cuse me il speak to her plainly and
frankly.
What shall you do? First of all, my
girl, learn that nobody but fool or a
coward ever made unpleasant remarks
about the girl who honestly and honor
ably earns her living. Believe me, those
who would taunt and criticise you are
unworthy either Of your or any good
girls friendship
What shall you do? Get over the I'M
womanly cowardice which makes you
want to hide from the world at large the
fact that it is your duty to help in the
household that lost its protector. The
world has grown in these years, and the
self-respecting, self-supporting woman
receives her need of respect and ap-
plause. The woman who works is a
power in the land-if she does her work
well.
The woman who wants to sit at home

feels she can not face her friends (what
poor friends they must be), is not apt to
do good work and is not apt to get good
pay.

The Ineome-Tax.

Leading Democrats appear to favor
the levying of an income-tax, and some
of them GO so far as to hint at the
probability of cutting down revenue
from imports to such an extent that
tax on incomes would be relied on 10
raise large part of the revenue. This
would be bad move for the Demo
Gratis An income-ta1 IS One of those
notions which is ideally good in
theory and ideally bad in practice. The
country's experience with it in the war
period was such as TO condemn it, and
remove all chances for its adoption
again, except in some crisis like civil or
foreign war, when revenue, however
obtained, would be the leading consid-

FOUR YEARS.

Four years ago, counting from last
Saturday, or rather on the 7th of March,
1857, the present publishers assumed
control of The Herald and News. That
is not long time, yet, during that
period we have had many ey .>eriences,
some pleasant and some :herwise.
We do not propose to recount these,
so do not be alarmed.
During that time, however, notwitn-
standing the difficulties and obstacles
that have been in our way, and the
enemies we have made, for no doubt
we have made some, The Herald and
News has steadily grown in public
favor. Our subscription is larger to-day
than it ever has been and we hope still
toiucrease it. In the conduct ofthe pa
per we have endeavored to be fair and
Just to friend and foe, nothing extern
uating, nor setting down aught in
malice.
We have only referred to this ami
versary in order to express cur appre-
citation Of the kind consideration with
which The Herald ard News has been
received by the people Of Newberry
County, and to further express the
hope that we may ever be worthy Of
their good will and that The Herald
and News viii always be 9 welcome
visitor to their homes. We have no
promises to make for the future and
stand by the same creed that We began
with four years ago, and that is to per-
form our duty to the paper and the
public faithfully and conscientiously as
we see it.

The war is truly on with the State

The war is truly on with the State OF
South Carolina andthe Coosaw people.
An Injunction has been secured by
Coosaw in the United States court
In about ten days the argument will be
heard on motion to dissolve it. The
whole business is likely 70 remain IN
the courts for year or two at least.
The State will lose a good big revenue
in the shape of royalty besides the eH-
penses of paying attorney fees and
other incidentals. It may be all right
and the State may profit by the whole
business, but so far we have failed to
see lust how it is coming about. We
presume Gov. Tillman and the phos-
phate commission know what they are
doing. There is one thing, however,
that we have meyer exactly understood,
and that is why the State wants to in
terfere with the Coosaw Company and
stop it from digging rock. All the
State wants is tie royalty promptly
paid, and we do not see what difference
it makes whether this royalty IS paid
by the Coosaw Company or some other.
If the royalty is too low, why let the
State raise the price. The record shows
that the Coosaw Company has always
paid the royalty promptly and pays a
large amount. That is what the State
wants.
We trust it will all come out right in
the end and that the State will not be
the loser, and we hope that Gov. Till
man will be able to justify his course.

The Greenville News says "there IS
no getting around the fact that South
ern Democratic State treasurers have
made a bad record" Defalcations have
occurred in Louisiana, Alabama, Mary
land and Arkansas. The News thinks
the trouble comes from the long con-
tinuance in power of one political
party, thereby producing stagnation,
and no doubt there is much truth IN
this. But the one who succeeds an
other in such an Office even Of the same
political party ought to see to it that
the cash is alright and that the vouch-
ers are proper.
This thought leads US to suggest that
in such Offices where lot Of money is
handled one person ought not to be
eligible to be his own successor. This
would necessitate short settlements
and a turning over and an accounting.

WHY NOT a CANNING FACTORY.

Why could not Newberry have a
canning factory. The establishment
of such a factory would be ''enterprlse
and progress We do not mean for the
town or the county to vote tax to
build the factory, but it would be a
good thing for both if some Of our ousi-
ness men who have TIE means would
thus invest it. And We see no reason
why it could not be made to pay nice
profit on the investment.
Such an enterprise would help the
town in many ways. 1t would give
EMPLOYMENT to more people, anu
would help the business OF the town
by putting in circulation more money
here.
Then it would give our friends in the
country a ready and convenient mar
ket for their tomatoes, peaches, olach'
berries, apples and so forth, and if they
could turn these things into money
they would be surprised 10 Hnu Ho"
much they are now wasting.
We heard the other day Of one farmer
who last year had made for himself
about 500 three pound cans and we
have no doubt but that ne put up that
much fruit and what he did not want
for his own family ne turned into
money!
It is said that it does not take much
capital to put up canning factory and
we believe it would pay. It is worth
investigating. Will not some body
who has a little money to invest nake
the start and the capital would soon be
raised.

THE COOaAW SITUATION.

COLUMBIA, March 9.-One Of the
most startling and practical results OF

mined for the last month made 10 the
Comptroller General. The return for
February, 1890, was about 2S,OCO tons.
The return for February, 1891, is about
5000 tons. Whether this is or not the
result of the present litigation is q
mixed question of law and fact.
Senator Smythe was called Oh at the

said that lie could not be interviewed
