SARATOGA. N Y, Sept. 1.-THE
whole national campaign centers today
IN the two State conventions in New
YOrk-Republican here in Saratoga and
Democratic in Rochester.
The State Republican leaders are
trying TO beat Hughes, regardless OF
the effect on the national situation
The Administration forces are fighting
desperately to save Hughes for the
sake of the national ticket. Their task
is the harder, because nobody believes
the Administration cares a bit for
Hughes, except for the sake Of Taft.
The minor bosses of New York Re
publicanism are bitter against Hughes5
more bitter than anybody dreamed till
they got together here. Nobody is
really for Hughes, though just about
half the delegates are determined to
vote for him under Instructions or
stress Of political necessity. But they
would welcome an excuse to dump
him
The opposition was not taken very
seriously Till the barons Of the State
politics-the various little locality lead
ers-had met and compared scores and
exchanged condolences. They found
one another about equally dissatisfied
with Hughes and with the PRESIDENT 5
domination.
Nothing but fear Of the big stick
restrains successful revolt; and the
more nervy leaders have been pointing
out that the big stick gets lighter
every passing week Of the remaining
term OF the Presidents incumbency.
Fear Of the President is not so potent
as formerly; not half 50 potent as 1t
was expected to be right here.
Leaders Wrangling.
''But we must have Hughes, because
the eyes of the country are on US, and
to turn him down would cause resent
ment all over the close Middle West, -
urge the HI shes people.
"Who cares for the West?" retort
the leaders. This is our affair, nOS
theirs"
And then there come expressions Of
utter reckiessness about what may hap
pen &c ne national ticket. The State
bosses think Hughes can't be elected
anyhow, and they don't seem 10 care
whether Taft wins. The argument that
Hughes is necessary in order to
strengthen Taft has made them resent
Gul against Taft. Such utter disregard

Determined TO have every detail Of his
reCOrd-b -eazing aerOpIane in the best

watch his assistants try out the engine,
which IN the last few days has been
missing fire frequently, and which has
consequently cut down the aviator's
speed record
While Wright does not believe that
he can make more than forty-one or
fOrty-rwo miles an hour, he is intensely
interested in making his engine do its
best and Will spend much time from
now on in watching every detail that
has been at all imperfect

to ind Out what is the matter WIN the

Government requirements tomorrow,

not doing so when he gets through to-

Mr.. Wright depreCates the stories that

A CARD.

Of the more than one thousand 10y
al and thoughtful friends who favor
ed me on last Tuesday with their kind
partiality, I am sincerely proud, and
grateful to them; for those who
chose another I have the kindliest
feelings. All will rest assured the
present failure to reach nv goal shall
not deter me in the least from great
er and more determined efforts in the
future in trying to build up the rural
school. If I can be Of any assistance
to any section Of the county in the
matter Of educational work, my SER
vices are subject to command.

REBUILD THE BRIDGE.

The committee appointed by the
citizens meeting to raise money from
the business men Of the city for the
purpose of building ferry at the
stell bridge had no difficulty in Sc
curing necessary funds.
Before the ferry is completed, how
ever, it would be vel: for the cham
Der of commerce or the citizens meet
ing to send some one to the steel
bridge and to have a conference with
the supervisor of Newberry as we'll
as the supervisor Of Saluda and see
if it would not be the better plan to
rebuild the bridge. We have positive
information that the piers are stand
ing and that all Of the steel part OF
the bridge is still there. We also
understand that the, supervisor Of Sa-
luda county has let the contract for
the building of an approach to the
bridge from the Saluda side.
It is said that probably there would
be difficulty in securing the right-of-
way on the Saluda side Of the ferry,
as the ferry would be located some
200 or 800 yards below the bridge.
1t is thought that with the expen-
diture Of 800 or $500 by the two
counties that the bridge can be re-
placed and the approaches built, and
that the work if commenced at once
could be completed within two weeks.
If these facts are correct it GER
tainlv would be economy to rebuild
the bridge at once and to abandon
the idea Of a ferry, which will cost
$500 or S4OO in addition to the cost
of maintenance and besides a ferry
could scarcely accommodate the peo-
pie who desire to cross.
We suggest that the committees in
charge from the citizens meeting as
we'll as the chamber of commerce take
this mater up at once with the sup
ervisors Of the tHo counties, and
look into it thoroughly before any
money is expended on the establish
ment of the ferry.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

Notwithstanding the fact that New
berry was almost completely bottled
up by the floods, The Herald and
News was able to keep the people of
Newberry posted on the State elec-
ton returns as fast as they were re-
ceived in Columbia and Charleston
and practically complete totals were
given in our regular issue Of Friday,
and complete totals in our extra of
Friday afternoon. These figures
were changed very little by the off,
cial count.
The business Of a newspaper is to
give the news while it is news, and
that is what The Herald and News
did last week Notwithstanding the
floods.
The Herald and News has also, un-
der great difficulties, kept its read
ers posted in regard to the flood sit
uation, not only III Newberry, but
throughout the State.
The Bell Telephone has maintained
its service out of Newberry without
interruption, and to this company
much credit is due for keeping up our
communication with the outside world

AS TO THE COLUMBIA STATE.

The Herald and News has said all
it cares to say to the Columbia State.
We stated in the last issue that the
newspaper controversy, so far as we
are concerned, was closed. After the
charge we made as to the assertions
and insinuations Of the Columbia
State, it is useless to handy words
further, in the newspapers, at least.
It will be recalled that we charac-
terized certain assertions and lns1n-
uations Of the editor Of the Columbia
State as sEmaliciously false.'
