The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1897-12-24

We notice that number of our cx-
chs gcs have good deal to say about
the Prospective candidates from New
berry 70" the State offices and some of
them have gone SO far rs to intimate
that Ncwbcrry might furnish cundi-
dates for several of thu State Offices.
Now we do not know who is going to
be Il candidate from this county but we
want TO say that if Schumpcrt enters
the race for Governor nc will make it
lively for the boy that wins. He is a
good campagncr, vigorous and bold
speaker and will measure up to any Of
the boys in the tight. Then there is
Mayor II. III. Evans "lluh" Evans --
who knows everybody in the State and
everybody knows and likes "lIub." If
he should go in for Attorney General
he will make the fellow that beats him
get up soon in the morning and hustle
for the place.
Then there is Senator MOwcr-stronw
in intellect, conservative always but
pOsitive-a man who has Il reputation
throughout the State as 4 wise and
safe and clear headed legislator and
who would have Il strong following
throughou: the State for any position
he might aspire to.
Then we have other mon who are
strong and able. There are Johnstonc
and SliGh and Wychc and kihlcr and
kciit and I}lcasc.
SO You see it is too soon yet TO he
talking about what we are going to do
| or not do.
We have not talked to any Of these
men and do not know what their in,cn-
tions or purposes are but they are able
and competent and We always make it
n ru,c to stick to our own men. And
then. too, il is getting about time for
| Ncwbcrry to have Il State Office. She
| has not had one for Il long time.

ABOUT CRIME.

According to resolutions the Episco-
pal clergy and the Methodist clergy
preached last Sunday against the crime
Of homicide and the News and Courier
on Monday contained long and ex-
haustive write up by It's efficient CO.
lumbia correspondent giving the stat
istics of homicidcs in the State during
the year.
Rev. j. w. Humbert preached an cX-
ccllent sermon in the Nowberry Meth
odist church on Sunday morning in nc
cordancc with the resolutions Of his
Conference.
There Is little doubt that therc is
need Of reform in this mattcr and that
too many people esteem human life too
lightly and that too many people gO
| around as walking arscnals prepared
at moments notice and on small pro-
vocation to take human life.
The preachers preach to us all the
time the doctrine of peace. There is
need OF more control of self mastery Of
oneself. Nearly all the homcidcs come
from small provocation and result from
matters which arc in themselves tri-
vial and could be settled if people would
learn to govern themselves.
If the jurics were more prompt in
convicting OF murdc and executive
clcmcncy was withheld it might let
those know who take human life that
the Old Mosaic law Of an tyc for an eye
and life for II life would be the result
Then those who are SO ready to shoot
down would consider.
We hope the preaching and writing
may result in good and that homicidcs
will decrease.

THE COTTON GRowER>' CONVENTION.

The Herald and News published in
its issue OF last Friday the action of the
Cotton Growers Convention in Atlanta
last week.
The purpose Of tho meeting is to form
sub.organi2ati0ns in all of the cotton
States and we hoe will result in good
The farmers should organize and CO.
operate for their general welfare.
The convention also passed resolu-
tions to reduce the acreage. With
proper organization from the township
up to the State and from tho State to
all the cotton growing States this can
be done.
We believe, however, that the rcso-
luton adopted by the Newbcrry con-
vention on Monday is the correct plan.
Reduce the acreage only where it has
been increased TO the extent that the
farm is not Sc stf-supporing. In other
words let those farmers who have been
raising cotton and buying corn and
meat and olhcr things that can be
grown on the farm reduce the ar.cagc
and those who have not bought these
thiDgs should not reduce because they
have already reduced. Let the ull-cot-
ton grower grow something else.
If We were going To advise the farmer
O' this ~cri on of country what to do it
would rum something like this: Raise
Oh the farm enough corn, wheat, o;.;s,
4 "a nd 4 Gnn ;..b 4
Is needed on the farm for man and
beast and then raise all the cotton YOU
can. That is Old advice and has been
given ever since we can remember, but
it is good advice all the same. And
our observation has len that the farm
CT who has pr;,tticcd it consistently
"nd pcrsistcntiy is the man who mas
nn'tcn along ana made some money.
TO reduce the acreage in cotton unless
you put that acreage in some kind of
food stuifs that can be consumed on the
farm will not help the situation.
Those farmers who follow this plan
are not much concerned about the lien
law because they have no occasion to
use it. And If this plan were followed
dealing in tnturCs would not disturb us
'"'" ...'. .'''., 81 ,rlt'. eu,u'ihlnG
. can be done to stop that. AS Capt.
Banks said nearly every one who
handles cotton makes more out of it
than the man who grows it.
eoo1ut organization and agitation if
conducted in the proper spirit, as we
believe the present movement is going
TO be, will do good and We hope to sec
an organization in every township and
county in the State.
