authority.

No wonder that the increase in
membership of the 1. O. R. M. in the
degree council of Pocahontas con-
tinues, because the benevolent fea-
lures are blessing to the entire com
munity. As an illustration The Her.
aid and News cites one instance. The
relief chiefs of the council have en-
ployed a trained nurse, at the ex-
pense of $40 week, to attend a sick
member who is unable to secure such
assistance.
A beautiful and loving spirit is
shown by the degree council of Po'
cahontas, a noble band Of good Sa-
maritans. This is the charity that
counts on earth and in heaven. May
the sun of Pocahontas never set until
Newberry numbers her days at the
end Of time.

South Carolina, more by seven mil
lion dollars than any other Southern
State, North Carolina being next with
s5S,322,OOO.
North Carolina has just twice as
many mills as South Carolina, 322
against 1852 for South Carolina. The
total number of spindles in the South
is 11.932,7S5, with 253,1s7 looms. South
Carolina leads in spindles and looms
with 4,262,506 spindles and 103,584
looms. North Carolina is second with
3,427,29S spindles and $3.50 looms.
In yarn mills North Carolina leads.
having 176 out of a total of 333 yarn
mills in the South.
South Carolina has long been in the
lead in the number of spindles and
second only to Massachusetts in
looms, and may now lead in this. And
we are still building mills. And YET
we do not manufacture all the cotton
we grow and even after we reach that
point there is no reason to stop build
ing mills.

SIXTY-FIYE YEARS OLD

This issue of the Laurensyille Her
aid completes it's sixty-ffth volume,
having been founded October 10, 1S45,
by n. V. and R. S. Bailey, two enter
prising young men from Charleston
After few years they were succeed
ed by S. A. Goldman, he by John D
Wright and Robert NJ. Stokes, the lat
ter subsequently succeeded Wright.
A short time before the war Stokes
was succeeded by James Holllngs-
worth, who was killed in the war. At
ter the war, in October, 1865, the Her
aid became the property of T. B.
Crews and John Wells Simpson. The
latter disposed Of his interest to A. ".
league, he selling his interest to R. G.
Watts. After some years, the present
editor bought Watts interest.
Since it's founding the Herald has
had the following editors:
Bailey, Goldman, Klink, Wright,
Stokes, Simpson, Harris, Hudgens,
Davis, Brown, Hollingsworth, Hoyt,
MCGOWAN, Bal, Ferguson Watts,
Crews-17. Of this number only four
are living-Col. J. N. Brown, Col. J. W.
Ferguson, Judge R. C. Watts and T.
B. Crews.
The present editors association
with the Herald has existed for the
past forty-flve years, since the war,
and for five years before the war, in
one capacity or another.
And We are gratifed to state that
the Herald's subscription list is now
nearly double what it ever was be-
fore, even in it's most prosperous
days.-Laurensville Herald.
The Herald and News is getting up
in years, too, and is proud Of the rec
ord Of it's compatriot in arms The
present editor Of The Herald and
News has held the position for twenty
five years.
The Laurensville Herald has the
distinction Of being the only paper in
the State that has been under one
management continuously for forty
five years since the retirement Of Mr..
Hugh Wilson from the Abbeville Press
and Banner. The Herald and News
hopes that the old Laurensville Her
aid may continue under the manage
ment of it's present young and Vigor-
Gus editor, Col. T. B. Crews, for many
years more. And we congratulate it
on the success it has achieved.

twenty-five dollars per acre for the
sand black jack land of Richland
county, seven miles from Columbia
shows how land values in South Caro-
lima are climbing. That is the price
paid by the commission appointed
with authority to buy a. site for the
hospital. The amount paid is s50,00OC
for 1000 acres.
It has never been stated yet from
whom the land was purchased, nor
through whose agency. If so we have
not seen it.
The commission did he right thing
in purchasing large tract, but the
price seems just a little steep.
