cerned, We regret that it has been air
ed at all, but We do not see that it is
incumbent upon Governor Blease to
disprove the charges of Mr.. Fielder,
but We do see that it is incumbent up
on Mr.. Fielder to substantiate his
charge beyond his mere assertion. AS
a matter of fact, there is nothing new
in the Fielder charges except Fielder
uses a little more billingsgate If he
has anything let him produce it.
Mr.. Blease would be very foolish to
undertake to accept either one of the
Fielder propositions. The Herald and
News does not approve some
things the governor has done and has
said so, but We believe in fair play and
a. square deal.
We wish it were possible for the
newspapers of this State to discuss
public questions and men impartially
and fairly, and not endeavor to cloud
the issue by abuse and vituperation,
for then we might be able to reach the
truth.
If Mr.. Blease is guilty of the things
charged by Mr.. Fielder, then he should
not fill the Office which he now holds,
but the people of the State, unless we
are badly mistaken, will demand more
than bare statement and the bare
charge from Mr.. Fielder, and they will
not, as the Journal demands, demand
of Mr.. Blease to prove that these
charges are not true. 70 do so would
be to violate all the fundamental prin-
ciples of justice and equity.
Why not square deal?

The board of health publishes no
tice that all property owners must
clean their premises by the 18th OF
July, which is next Wednesday. Some
two months ago The Herald and News
from time to time urged that a clean
ing up of the city be had. No one
needed the request. If the board of
health would only have issued the
order at the beginning of the sum-
mer and had the order executed it
might have done some good in the
way of prevention But ABSOLUTELY
nothing was done. Now that there are
a number of cases of fever it is order
ed that the city be cleaned and the
health officer inspect.
Of course it is never too late to
clean up and we are glad that the
board of health is acting even at this
late day. If the order will only be
carried out impartially and without
fear or favor it may do good, but do
not remove nuisance and a disease
breeder by transferring it about ten
feet to another lot even if that be
owned by doctor. Let there be a
good old fashioned cleaning up and
removing of the causes of disease so
far as it is possible to remove them.

a member, hut is solely in justice to
the health record Of the city Of New
berry-and facts!
| have 10 way Of knowing what you
consider "a great deal of typhoid lev
er," but I do know that such a state
ment, as is quoted above, is apt to
leave the impression that there is a
widespread epidemic in Newberry-I
and herein lies the misleading part Of
the editorial AS a matter Of fact,
there have been seven cases Of typhoid
fever reported by the physicians of
Newberry to the board of health, and
while these are just seven "too many"
it will no doubt be surprise to many
OF the readers Of your editorial to
learn that the "great deal of typhoid
fever" is confined to seven cases. I
do not believe in suppressing the facts,
especially in reference to the health
of community, but much more do /
not believe in magnifying matters,
when those facts detrimental to a COM
munity are spread broadcast over the
country. 1t is time enough, Mr.. Editor,
to advertise NeWberry as city with "a
great deal of typhoid fever" when the
facts warrant rhe assertion. But.
repeat, do not think that seven cases,
most of them of mild type, would
constitute an "epidemic.'
I am glad that you are calling the
attention Of the board of health and
the citizens of Newberry generally to
the needed improvement in sanitary
conditions during the hot summer
months, but this matter of keeping
premises clean is not the duty of the
board of health alone. It is matter
that should concern each and every
citizen of Newberry. 1t is matter Of
impossibility for the health board to
be cognizant OF the sanitary condition
of every little nook and corner in the
city, and unless this board has the CO.
operation of every citizen-both as to
keeping his premises in good sanitary
condition and reporting nuisances- its
aims and deeds will be greatly handi-
capped.
Now, Mr.. Editor. you state further
in your editorial that you edo know
that there are some drains in Newber-
ry that need attention, and that need
attention badly" I suppose that these
drains are nuisances, and yet the at
tention of the board of health has neV-
er been called to them-except in this
general way in your editorial. Why
not specify the drains that need at
tention, especially when the health Of
the community is at stake? More spec
ializing and less generalzing will &C.
complish the greater good.
Respectfully,
Harry W. Dominick.

stores were closed and business sus-

The Herald and News mentioned
some time ago that Greenville county
had purchased roadbuilder's auto
mobile From the Greenville News Of
recent date we notice that the machine
is giving general satisfaction, and in
about one week it had worked twenty
miles of road. 'The auto pulls in it's
rear three road scrapes, arranged in
such a way as to put in good condition
with single trip one-half of twen-
ty-four foot roadway, completing the
road by the return trip. These scrap
es clean out the drains, in addition to
putting the road in good condition,
and fling this surplus dirt toward the
center of the road
The machine, we understand, costs
about $4,000, but if it will work In less
than week, twenty miles of road, it
is a good investment. 1t would prob
ably pay our supervisor to investigate
the working of the machine, and it
might be possible for the county to
exchange its present road machinery
for one Of these machines By paying
the difference.
