Il consider myself one OF the most
fortunate teachers in the State said
Prof r. e. Parker. principal OF the

sons to feel proud Of an three of these
things. for the students are bright
active. progressive. and are wen-dis-
posed to their teacher There are now
six assistants TO the principa!aad each
OF them Is doing good work.
But neither the students nor the as
sfstants are without an excuse for
their excellence. for the building which
the school board has erected for them
is in itself enough to inspire the most
incapable on to the very best efforts.
The structure Is complete In every
detail There are eight recitation
rooms. an equipped In the very best
possible way The finish Is all hard
wood. and Is coated with hard OIL
Pictures are being hung on the walls
and soon the building will present 4
beautiful appearance within. The sys-

braces all that il modern. Nothing
has been omitted which could possibly
add TO the comfort and TO the health
Of the pupil On the third floor Is a
large assembly room, capable OF seat

dressing rooms thereto are equipped
with everything that can be thought
necessary.

Senator Tillman should stay out Of
the campaign this year and attend to
the business Of the senate in Wash
ington. There will be men in the cam
paign for state offices amply able to
present the issues before the people Of
this state.
If he should have opposition which
is not probable then he and his op-
ponent might enter the campaign
and discuss national questions but he
should let state matters alone.
He will not be able to change the
minds Of the people on the dispensary
question for they have had the ques-
ton aired in almost every possible
form, but he may be able to stir up
factionalism again which we are sure
he does not desire.

Mr.. NJ. F. Ansel, an avowed candi-
date for governor, announces his
platform. When he ran three years
ago he and all the other candidates
in that race were avowed state iispen-
sary candidates as "the best solu-
tion.'' He is the only one in that race
who is candidate this year. He now
says that he is no longer in favor of
the state institution but thinks it
ought to go and that the people Of
each county should have the right to
say what they want as between dis
pensary and prohibition but would
deny them the right to say whether
they want a license system as provid-
ed in constitution. We would Judge
Mr.. Ansel is a prohibitionist in theory
and practice, but as practical politi-
clan he wants the people to say
what they want.
"In short,' says Mr.. Ansel, II am
opposed to the system of state dis
pensary, am in favor Of local county
option as between prohibition and
county dispensaries. am opposed to
high license and am in favor Of such
laws as will decrease the sale Of L.
quors in this state.'
It would seem from this that MI.
Ansel is opposed to the state dispen-
sary; is opposed to high license; is a
rrohibitionist himself and. wants the
people to say in each county what
they want.

MAIL SERVICE.

Representative Lever has just ar
ranged with the postoffice depart
ment, to place mail agent, J. J. Blck-
ley, on the early train out Of Laurens,
says the Newberry Herald and News
Of the 9th instant, getting its lnfor-
nation from the Washington letter IN
the Columbia Evening Record. The
Newberry paper goes on to voice our
sentiment in saying that it is good
news and the people all along the line
appreciate the good offices Of Mr..
Lever in this matter; that the new
service to be inaugurated will be Of
great convenience to the people along
the line between Laurens and Colum-
bia; that the railroad authorities say
the service will be put Oh very soon,
but just at what date it cannot be
stated at this writing; and that as
soon as this is done Mr.. Childs should
through to Greenville.-Laurens Her
aid.
Congressman Aiken also has let
ter from the department stating that
the service has been authorized and
President Childs told us the other day
that he was now arranging his coach
es so as TO make place for the mail
agent and that he would be put on
very soon. That will be a great con-
venience but what we want to do
along the line now is to persuade and
convince Mr.. Childs that this train
should be made regular passenger
train and that it should run from
Greenville to Columbia but certainly
from Laurens and about on the same
schedule as it is now running on.
He is almost persuaded now to
put it on and it will not take great
deal Of pleading. Suppose we all
20 and ask him if he will not at least
try it as passenger train as soon as
the mail agent goes on.

DON'T BE A KNOCKER.

IF there is any chance to boom bus
mess, boom it. Don't pull long
face and look as though you had a
sour stomach. Hold up your head,
smile and look for better things. Hide
your little hammer, and try to speak
well of others, no matter how small
you know yourself to be.
When stranger drops in jolly him;
tell him this is the greatest town in
the state-and it is. Don't discour-
age him by speaking i'll Of your neigh
borsI lead him to believe that he has
at last struck a place where white
people live. Don't knock.
Help yourself along by becoming
popular and push your friends with
you. It's dead easy. Be good fel-
low and soon you II have procession
Of good fellows. No man ever helped
himsef by knocking other people
down in character and business no
man ever got rich by trying to make
others believe he was the only man
in town, or the only man in town who
knew anything. You can't climb the
ladder Of success by treading on 9th
ers' eorns; keep of the corns and
don t knock.
You are not the only one. There
are others and they have brains and
know something as we'll as you.
There's no end of fun minding your
own business-it makes other people
like you. Nobody gets stuck on a
knocker; don't be one; be good, and
subscribe for The Herald and News.
It will only cost you a dollar and a
half a year, and will be material aid
in keeping you from being a knocker.
We have appropriated the above
from the St. Matthews Commercial
Advance but it will apply alright to
Newberry.
We have not yet gotten sufficiently
aroused and enthused not to have our
knockers. The. city is going right
ahead in spite Of them, however, but
it would be so much smoother sailing
if everybody would join hands nov
and help and stop knocking. Give this
plan a. trial and see how it works.
