Who Is Its Candidate?

The N~ewberry Herald and News
says:
I'm reply to the Laurens Advertiser,
we do not believe Gov. Hayward would
permit his name to be used as a candi-
GATE Tor governor for a third term.
The Herald and News has a record for
standing up to Newberry men when
the question is a choice of men. In this
case it is not a question of preferrinp
some other man to Hayward because
we know Gov. Hayward to be a most
excellent gentleman and we know that
he has made a good record as governor.
but there are others in South Carolina
who could fill the executive chair and
we do not think Gov. Hayward cares to
succeed himself for a third term. The
Herald and News has not vet espoused
the cause of any of the candidates. We
want to hear and know where thew
stand on certain questions and then it
is tire enough"
Or course no man or thing, not even
III ADVERTISER, can tell from the
above What or where The Newberry
Herald and News is. 1t appears to be
opposed to Hayward because "there
are others who could fill the executive
chair" and because it thinks Hayward
does not care to be a candidate.
If Mr.. Hayward would run again,
would the Herald and News with it's
record for standing up to Newberry
men oppose him and "stand up to-"

ferrous Manner.
Spartanburg, March 2S. A
white man, about 35 or 40 years
of age, died under peculiar cir
cnmstances before doylight this
morning in the lodging apartments
of Mr. Morris building on Mag.
nolia street. HIS name IS ID.
Pesotta or D. Pixotto, according
to the information at hand, which
is meagre. He was engaged in
the picture enlarging business.
Yesterday he drank excessively
throughout the day, and about 4
o'clock left his lodging place to
walk up street. He returned in
the evening with black bruise
over his left eye, and in stumb-
ling in the piazza of the building
to 60 up the stairway to his room,
fell backward, bleeding at the
ears, mouth and wound over the
eye. He fingered in THE uncon-
scious condition for hours, receiv.
ing medical attention, and died
about 3 o'clock this morning.
AT the inquest held today, wit.
nesses testified that on returning
from town Pixotto told them he
engaged In fight with man
about some money and a portrait
and that the man struck him in
the face Tho verdict was that
his death was due to conclusion of
the brain, which might have been
caused either by blow near the
left eye or a fall. The mystery
Is who struck tho blow, or how
was the man injured. A sup
position is that he was staggering &
drunk and fell on the cement paw
ing before reaching his lodging
house, the hard cement cutting the
brnlse near the eye.
