Walla Walla, Wash. Nov. 1.-TWO
days after Miss Clara Loberg arrived

Perryville she had husband and q
l6O-acre homestead, neither of which
she ever had seen before. The night
OF her arrival here she was introduced
to John F. Needham, who asked her to
marry him. The ceremony took place
the next day. In the meantime he had
told her of homestead adjoining his
l6O acres and she filed on It. Their
house will be built on the line dividing
the two ranches so both will be living
on their own property, as required by
law, till the final patents to the land

TOWN LOSES ELECTRIC LIGHT.

We understood that the city council
some time ago on recommendation of
the fire department had adopted an Or
dinance fixing what is known as the
fire limits. BY this we understood that
no wooden buildings were to be per-
nlitted within this limit. We would
suggest, unless this ordinance is to be
enforced, that it ought to be repealed.
The block in rear of the postoffce al
ready had number Of wooden shan
ties on it that are not only an eye sore
but are veritable fire traps. Instead
o. pulling these down We understand
that a permit has been granted for the
erection of another wooden building.
We can not understand why the prop
erty owners would desire to menace
their own property as we'll as that of
the community by continuing to erect
these wooden structures even if there
were not an ordinance of the Town
against them.

RURAL SCHOOLS.

The Herald and News again directs
attention to the article from Prof. Tate.
We are anxious that all Of our rural
subscribers especially should read
these articles. He tells in this one Of
the organization and operation Of a
consolidated school in Union county
and how much more efficient the work
is and how much pleased the people
are with it.
To hold it's best citizens every COIN
try community must have the very best
educational facilities. The people are
not going to remain in a community if
they can get away, that does not fur
nish the best educational facility for
the children of that community, and
in this the people are right, except that
they ought to unite in the community
and secure for themselves the very
best educational facilities. It is a
great deal cheaper to educate your
boys or your girls in the community
than to move to town to do so and
then in addition to that we believe it is
better for the boy or the girl if he Or
she can be reared in the country.
The Influences, as a rule, are much
better for the development of the true
man or woman. In this day and time
the country is a more desirable place
to live anyway as you can have ali of
the modern conveniences, as they are
termed, and at the same time enjoy
the freedom and the independence of
country life.
The only way to have first class
schools in the country is to consolidate
a number of the weak one-teacher
schools and build up a good school
even if the children have to be trans
ported.

4 COMNENDABLE SPIRIT.

The Newberry, S. c., Herald and
News was one of the very small num-
Der of South Carolina newspapers
which gave Governor-to-be Blease
whole-hearted support during his cam
paign for the nomination. In the face
of the bitterest attacks shoNered upon
it's favorite, The Herald and News de-
Tended Mayor Blease manfully. The
fact that it's candidate was endorsed
by 5000 majority when the final prl-
mary was held would seem to give our
Newberry contemporary no small ex-
cuse for what Lewis Carroll calls
"gloating."
Greatly to the credit of The Herald
and News, however, there is no shrill
shout of triumph in the utterance
which is to &c found IN the first issue
after it's victory. Several of its con-
temporaries had made themselves
merry over it's position. To these jibes
it gives the scantest attention. The
thought uppermost is the great oppor-
tunity which Blease is offered to con-
firm the judgment of his friends and
to overwhelm his opponents with con-
fusion by conducting his administra-
ton along progressive yet safe lines.
The same thought has been the
theme of possibly the majority of edi-
torial comment on this subject. None
of this has, however, so excellent a
chance of being needed as the weighty
sentences uttered by the victor's
staunchest adherent. The Herald and
News by deriding those that had de-
rided it might have had the satisfac-
ton of an argumentative revenge. By
impressing upon the next goveronr the
responsibility which attends his sue
cess, it has used it's triumph in an un-
speakably wiser manner.-Charlotte
Observer.
We desire to acknowledge with a
spirit of humility the compliment ccn-
tanned in the above comment of the
Observer. The Herald and News has
always endeavcred to be conservative
and at the same time positive in the
expression of it's convictions. We have
always tried to give everybody a
square deal and while we have fought
hard and vigorously, we have never
struck below the belt and have endeav-
ored to realize that the opponent al
ways had some virtues. We believe
that the people Of South Carolina also
believe in a square deal and fair treat
ment, and that the great mass Of our
people want to do the right thing and
will do it.

We were talking with gentleman
on the train the other day on the sub

advantages to the country people Of

NENBERRY COLLEGE.

The time for the opening of the COL
leges and schools is here. Newberry
college will begin it's ffty-ffth session
next week. A local notice of the open
ing appears in another column.
Newberry college is one Of the insti-
tutions of which all of the people OF
this community should feel proud. It
is a privilege to have an educational
institution of th;; -Aracter in the
community.
Sometimes we do not appreciate as
We should the advantages which we
enjoy. We do not believe this is true
however, of the people of Newberry in
regard to Newberry college. It is Sec
ond to no institution Of higher learn
ing in this State, not only in the curri-
culum, but in the character and stand
ing Of the gentlemen who compose the
faculty. It offers an opportunity to
every young man in this community
who desires a college education to
take one at minimum of cost. There
is no reason why any parent or guar
dian or any young man who is seeking
an education on his own account
should go elsewhere.
It is true, as stated, that our people
have shown a commendable pride in
Newberry college and while it is un-
der the direction and control of the
Lutheran denomination, many young
men in this community of all creeds
have taken advantage of the college
and it numbers already among it's
alumni men OF all denominations.
While this is true there are a great
many young men right here il New
berry Who ought 70 go to NcwOer-*,
college ara who could 60, and our pur-
pose now is TO call their attention to
the opportunity which is offered them
and to ,'~en thorn e take advantage CT
it before it is too late.

The circus is coming and The Her
aid and News is of the opinion that il
has held many years that the children
ought to be given an opportunity to &c
to the circus. It will be a great event
in their lives and if properly taken ir
will be an educational event. Remem-
Der the circus will be in Newberry
Friday, September 80. Let all the boys
and girls too, prepare to attend.

c5"H:Ty ":.I"H. :,uc III people OF rat
county believe in the very best OF e:-
erything; the best roads, the best
stock and the best people and there is
no one thing that contributes so much
to obtaining results as the building OF
good roads.
If Newberry county, for instance,
would invest one-half million dollars
and build with it a thousand miles Of
good permanent road in this county,
We would produce three times the
wealth that we do each year, and in a
few years this would be the wealthiest
county in South Carolina.
