WATER: WATER WORKS

We present this week the opinions OF
q number Of the citizens of Newberry
on the question Of water works for our
town. In doing so we have not en-
deayored to pick men OF our way OF
thinking. On the contrary they were
taken just as they came. We want to
know what the sentiment of the people
is on this question. WewanS the issue
fairly and squarely presented, for if the
system is tc be established there must
bs unanimity of sentiment and effort in
order to make the thing success.
We hope next week to give some
other opinions on the subject and to
keep the matter before the people until
they can see ard realize that the estab-
iishment of water works is not only a
thiugto be desired butisa necessity, and
that the expense will bemoney not only
well spent, bat will be money economi-
cally spent. These facts we sincerely
believe and can therefore honestly and
eonseientionsly urge them upon odr
people.
We invite short articles from any one
who has an opinion on this subject for
publication. Itdoes not matter whether
you favor the plan or not. We want
to have it fully discussed and all phases
of the subject presented to our people
so that we can act adviseGly and with
our eyes open. We invite the fullest
and freest discussion. Let the light be
thrown on aud we feel sure that the
more it is duscussed the more the peo-
pie nill be convinced that it is a proper
move.

A SUGGESTION.

AS there seems to be doubt in the
minds of some of our noble leaders Of
reform on the advisability Of holding
. invention, The Herald and News
has in mind suggestion which, posi-
bIy, can solve the whole trouble and
get US out of the hole into which we
have apparently been plunged by the
many complications which have arisen
in the ranks of reform, owing to the
fact that there are 80 many true and
original reformers who are competent
and anxious and desirous Of serving
the people in ths capacity OF Office.
It il only suggestion, now, and can
be taken if desired; but we only offer
it in tho interest OF harmony and
peace in the ranks.
There are certain men who have
worked nobly and manfully in the
reform csuse-in fact who have borne
the brunt of the battle and were al
ways found in the thickest Of the fray.
They have not asked for office and are
not asking now, but reform wants to
seek the men and not have the men all
the time seekinsi it. Tt will be observed
too that our suggestion shows no par
TALLY, but takes the whole ticket from
one profession. All the men are we'll
known, and mere mention of their
names is a sufficient encomium.
We believe that this ticket in its
entirety will be acceptable to Senator
Irby, Congressman She'll, Governor
Tillman and Editor Bowdsn. If it is
not we can't help that. The men
named have b: en- true to all the re-
formers.
But what 10 the use to multiply
words? We are only making sug-
gestion, and here It is:
For Governor-Coi. T. Larry CAN'T,
Editor of the Piedmont Headlight.
For rLieutsnant-Go -Governor-Maj. oh.
Russell, Editor of the Peoples Advo-
cate.
For Secretary OF State-Col. Geo. R.
Kcester, Editor of the Register.
For Treasurer-Captsin Thomas J.
Adams, Editor Of the Edgefield Ad-
vertiser.
For Attorney General-Gen. Robt r.
Hsmphiil, Editor of the Abbeville
Medium.
For Comptroller General-Cspt. JAS.
L. Sims, Editor of the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat.
Fer Superintendent Of Education
Cot. Jno. G. Bailey, Editor OF the
Greenvile Democrat.
For Adjutsnt ani Inspector General
Gen. franklin V. Capers, Editor of
the Prosperity Press and Reporter.
Now how does this strike you as 3
peace and unity suggestion?
Since We made this suggestion we
understand that Maj. Russell has no,
endorsed the slapping Of Mrs. Notle by
Constable Elliott. That may disqualify
him. All candidates who want to get
there must learn that the constables
can do no wrong, and any word of cou-
demnation of any of their acts will be
considered treason to the noble cause o,
Reform. We will not take his name
down lust vet, however.

We were told by an old gentleman in
Columbia the other day that Governor
Tillman sent for him to come and see
him and that he went with fear and
trepidation to bis majesty, not knowing
what he could be desired for, and when
he got there the Governor told him that
he wanted him to make arrests of vio-
lstors of the dispensary law and he
would be paid S25 for every white man
ne brought up and convicted, and $40
for every negro. The old gentleman
declined with thanks. The music goes
on and the people pay the fiddler. a
white mans scalp is valued at more
than a negro's.

The Herald and News cannot help il
if people want to subscribe fo- this
newspaper. Our effort for seven years
has been to work for our own paper
with no purpose or intention to teal
down or iDjure others. That policy We
pursued from the beginning of our con
nection with newspaper and we have
kept itup to this time and We intend
to continue it to the end. 1t has never
been and never will be our purpose tc
build up by pulling others down. We
have not time nor INCLINATION to notice
any insinuations to the contrary. But
whenever man comes in, as many are
doing, and wants to subscribe We will
treat him politely and courteously and
enter his name upon our books with
thanks. And don't you forget that.
Our books and our purse (if we had
one) are always open for new sub crib

The Parson in Chaucer's Prologue.
MOpERNIZED By JAMES 2. KINARD

A good man of religion, next, was
there,
Who was a Parson, poor in this worlds
gear;
But rich be was in holy thought and
work.
He was also a learned man, a clerk,
Who Christian gospel truthfuliy did
preach
And his parishioniers devoutly teach.
Benign and very diligent was be
And fully patient il adversely.
And though his tithes were often left
unpaid
The blighting curse was always left
uusad.
Of his own goods he to the poor oft
gave
And for himself would meagre pittance
save.
Wide was bis cure, the houses far
asunder,
But he omitted not, for rain or thun-
der,
To visit, staff in hand, both great and
small,
When sickness or misfortune did him
call.
This good example to his sheep be
brought,
That first be wrought, and afterwards
he taught.
From words of Holy Writ This thought
lie drew:
"If pure gold rust, what then shall
iron do"H'
For if priest be foul, on whom we
trust,
No wonder that an unlearned man
should rust.
And shame it is, in any fold to keep
A spotted shepherd and a spotless
sheep.
'Twere better that priest example
give
And show by cleanness how his sheep
should live.
He quilted not bis benefce for hire,
Nor left bis sheep encountered in the
mire,
While he at London sang the mass for
gold;
But dwelt at home and tended well
his fold,
Lest in bis absence it the wolf should
barry:
He was shepherd and no mercenary.
And though he holy were in thought
and deed,
He was the sinners friend in time of
need.
To show the road to heaven and lead
the way
BY good example was bis aim each
day.
But if be found person obstinate,
Whose be were, of high or low estate,
He would rebuke him sharply for bis
sin.
A better priest, trow, hath never
The love of Christ and his apostles
twelve
He taught, but first he followed it
himselve.

lations to Consult. Malcolm Johnstone

deed that the appointment was made.
No dcubtit WILDE surprise to many

we are glad that the President has
made such a good and wise selection.
This place will require wise and we'll

THAT Mr.. Johnstone possesses. There
has been some war or rumors of war
down in that country. We hope Con-
sui Johnstone will be able to restor e
peace and run things smoothly and we
are certain that if any one can be eau.
But if be cannot and those people really
want to fight all he has to do is to no.

Just what the salary of the office IL

course, that it is good. We have not
seen Mr.. Johnstone since bis appoint
ment and do not know what his inten-
tious 10 the matter are, but we pre-
sumo that he will make arrangements
to leave at an early day for his lew
field.
Our best wishes will go with him to
his new field and we hope his career
will be marked with great success. We
have no doubt on that subject, how
ever.

What do you think of the ticket sug'
gested by The Herald aud News this
week? We do not propose to write any
laudatory articles on che subject. The
names suggested do not need it and
possibly would rot bear too much of it.
They only need to be presented to the
people. The only reason they were not
taken long ago is simply because tie
people had never thought of it.

Under the dispensary law if you have
any whiskey in your house that was not
bought from the dispensary you had
better get dispensary tag and put on
it. Otherwise it is liza bic to seizure and
confiscatiop. 1t matters not it you
have it there simply for medical use
and are not engaged in any way IN the
sale of the stuff. This is hardly free
country any more. Well, We hope it
will all come out right after awhile.

our Strangely Anomalous Situation

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: Like you, I do not at all "catch
on" to what your correspondent III" "
is driving at; and (but this strictly in
confidence) I am rather inclined to
think he ''is talking through his hat"
But while not able "to penetrate the
hidden depths Of meaning that may lie
buried under 'H's' rhetoric" | may
be allowed to call attention to few of
the anomalies of the present situation
in our State.
Our Legislature at its recent session,
among other extraordinary acts, re-
duced the salary of the State Superin-
tendent OF Education from 1,S00 to,
believe, 81 500. At the same time it
raised the salary of Mr.. Traxler, the
apostate Baptist who abandoned hi'
church and religion. to retain his posi-
ton as Tillnan's chief bar-kseper, from
81 500 to So 600 1t also reduced the
salaries of the County Commissioners
of Education f:nm $500, certainly low
enough, to $50, while our county
bar-tenders. at least the one in our
county, IS I am informed, has salary
Of 81 900, and even his assistant of $500
IF this is not eXalting the whiskey
traffic and lowering the cause Of edu-
cation I hardly know what would be.
The service of dispensing whiskey
seems to be regarded by "the powers
that be'' as more than twice as valua-
BILE as educating our children. Our
teachers are miserably paid for only
three or four months services during
the year, and often have 10 wait an in
definite time for their money, or dis
pose 0; their certificates at a ruinous
discount, while those engaged in the
whiskey traffic are living in clover and
faring sumptuously every day. We
would seem to he living in topsy
turvy world. And yet, if I at all
''catch on'' TO "H's" meaning, he ap-
proves of this situation, and of those
who have been instrumental in bring
ing it about. And yet believe he is q
teacher. A READER.

That Takes Effect on Sun.
day Next.

The official figures of the new train
schedule on the Santa Fe route were rs-
oeived by Agent Lutz to-day. Under
this card trains on the Lamy branch in
and out of Santa Fe will run as follows:
Leave Santa Fe at 500 a. M, to con-
neot with No. 4, east bound; returning,
arrive at Santa Fe at 1890 a. m.
Leave Santa Fe at $40 p. m, to con-
meet with No. 8, west bound, southern
California limited train; returning, arrive
at Santa Fe at s p. m.
Leave Santa Fe at 1920 p. m. to con-
meet with No l, south for Ell Paso, Mexico
and California, also with No. 2, east
bound from Ell Paso, Mexico and Cali
fornia; returning, arrive at Santa Fe at
1855 a. m.
BY this arrangement two main line
trains are SO scheduled as to servo a.
through trains from Chicago to Ell Paso
and Mexico points and two also run
through in flying time to California,
making the timo from Chicago to Los
Angeles eighty-one and one-half hours, or
six and half hours quicker than at
present.
Practically 1t is the same schedule that
was in vogue last spring, before tho
strike, except that Santa Fe is better
served in that this city will now have
direct connection with all four main line
trains instead Of with but three of them
as formerly.

REGISTRATION LISTS.
Returns Up to Date Show a Slight In
crease in City and County.

County Clerk Romero has received
from only ten of the voting precincts of
the county the registration books for the
approaching election.
These books show the following num-
Der of votes in the precincts thus re-
ported: Precinct 8, 4S9; precinct 4, 456;
precinct 6, III; precinct 8, 1872; precinct
10, "a; precinct II, 1893; precinct -, 1877;
precinct Is, 176; precinct II, 297; pre-
cin"t IS, BAL; precinct 10, 65.
The total registered vote in the four
city precincts is thus shown to be 1853.
Two years ago the registration in the
city precincts was as follows:
Precinct 8, ATS; precinct 4, 431; pre-
cinct II, 276; precinct Is, 1858; total,
1850.
The increase in the city is therefore
thirty five over the registration of 1892.
The same proportion of increase pre-
walls in the county precincts, SO that it
may be expected that the vote throughout
the county will be on the whole large
one next Tuesday.
