IAOOOLf ILL
Relying and believing upon these
expressions and feeling that Arizona
had no show for the next TWENTY-FIVE
years OF being admitted as a single
state, the joint statehood people did
whatever they could to carry out the
presidents recommendations 10 Sc
cure for Arizona and New Mexico ad-
mission to the union.
"If we are now to rely on his last
utterances upon this proposition and
also upon his statement that he will
not again become a candidate for the
presidency, we must. if we expect his
influence as president in this behalf
try to obtain It while he remains
president ot.ss-.- - successor
may be opposed to the admission Of
Arizona and New Mexico as single
states.
Those people who opposed Joint
statehood, and maintained that IL we
defeated joint statehood we could
soon obtain single statehood. should
not now be saying. as some of them
are reported to have said. that Ari
IONA is not yet fitted for single state
hood; but they should Join the joint
statehood people and embrace the
golden opportunity Of obtaining sin
gle statehood while they have g pres
ident who is ready and willing 70 do
all he can TO give II to them.

affection fes the neanle Of the four
territories which, under tht act OF
congress have just signed now have
the opportunity to enter as two states
into our federal union. These terri
tories are filled with men and women
of the stamp for which l grew to feel
so hearty a regard and respect dur
ing the years that / myself lived anu
worked on the great plains and in
the Rocky mountains. II was from
these four territories that | raised the
regiment with which / took part in
the Cuban campaign. Assuredly |
would under no circumstances advise
the people of these territories TO do
anything that / considered to be
against either their moral or their
material well-being. I feel that for
them now to refuse to come into the
union as states would be at the best
mere folly. Very wisely, the people
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and / believe the people of New Mex
leo also, have abandoned an attitude
which forbade their thus assuming
the great privileges and responsible
ties of full American citizenship.
cannot too heartily express my hope
that the people OF Arizona. exercising
their sober second thought, win come
to look at the matter in the same
light.

A NUMBER OF APPLICANTS.
Examination For Rural Carrier Route
Number l from Pros
perity.

An examination was held at New
berry on Saturday for rural mail
carrier for route No. l from Pros
perity to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr.. S. c.. Barre. -.
The examination was conducted by
Postmaster G. j. Purcell. There were
ten applicants who stood the cxamin-
alton, one of whom, however, is not
an applicant for this route but only
desires to get on the eligible list.
Mr.. Barre, son of Mr.. S. c. Barre,
was his substitute and has been rid
ing the mail since the death of his
father.
This is one among the FIRST routes
established in the county. In fact we
believe it is the oldest route.

PETITION BEING. CIRCULATED.
Asking An Election On the Dispen-
sary Under Local Option
Law,

Petitions to the number of about
twenty have been put in circulation
seeking signatures for the purpose of
ordering an election OH the dispen-
sary in this county under the provis-
ions Of the Carey -Cothran bill.
There will be little doubt that q
sufficient number of signatures will
be secured to require the supervisor
to order the election, as it takes only
one-fourth of the qualified electors
of the county to order it.. ...
Our position is, that when we had
the election i'll 1905, we agreed to
hold no other election for four years,
and while Of course the legislature
had the right to change that law as it
has done, we are still of the opinion
that we are morally bound to stand
by the agreement entered into at that
time, yet, as has already been sated
in The Herald and News, if we are
to have an election next year, it is
just as we'll to have it this year, when
there will be no other issue and the
forces can be joined on a straight
fight for the dispensary or prohibi-
ton.
If sufficient number Of signatures
is secured to the petitions, the elec-
ton will be ordered for the latter
part Of August so that there may be
time to have the question discussed
after the farmers get through with
their work, and everybody will have
an opportunity to vote.

Meeting on Change of Schedule
Everybody From Columbia to
Greenville Should Attend.

The meeting to which The Herald
and News referred last week to con.
slider the change Of schedule on the
C. & G. which is being agitated by the
people along the Blue Ridge railroad
will be held in Greenville on Wednes.
day at 1.30 o'clock at the chamber
of commerce rooms. This will give
the people of Columbia and along the
line to Greenville al opportunity to
g1 up in the morning, attend the
meeting and return that night.
The towns, which do not want the
present arrangement interfered with,
should see to it that they have as
many people present to represent them
rs possible. The Herald and News
has received information that a large
delegation along The Blue Ridge rail-
road from Walhalla to Belton will be
present and urge a change to the old
schedule, which was in force on the
Columbia and Greenville railroad ever
since it has been road until the ad-
mirable schedule now of force was
inaugurated.
If the change is made back to the
old schedule the people from the up
country will be unable to go to Co.
lumbia and return the same day, and
people from Dyson down this way will
not be able to come to Newberry and
return the same afternoon.
So far rs it has been possible to
ascertain the sentiment of the people
along the main line, there has been no
demand for change, and on the con-
trary everybody is very much pleas
ed. If, however, they desire this ar
ran9cment TO remain, it is very I'M
portant that their wishes should be
known to the railroad authorities,
who will meet the representatives at
Grecnvillc on Wednesday, tomorrow,
at l.3O o'clock.
The following members, of the New
berry chamber of Commerce and pro-
badly others, will attend the meeting ::
Geo. w. Summer, George B. Crom-
er, +. Il. Hipp, +. II. Aull, u. f.
Wright, w. II. Hunt, G.. j. Purcell.
