We tender our heartfelt sympathy
to Col. E. H: Aull Of the Newberry
Herald and News, as he sits in the
deep black shadow of the greatest
sorrow that will ever befall him in
this life, the death Of his accomplish
ed and devoted wife, who passed away
on last Friday. Mrs. Aull was most
gracious and charming woman, and
her death caused great sorrow to many
all over South Carolina, who knew and
loved her for her many noble quail
ties. She has gone to the beautiful
home above, but the influence Of her
pure life will continue to uplift and
help all who were touched by 1t while
she fingered with US.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to
Mr.. VIM. Banks, of the Columbia State,
and Col. E. H. Aull, of the Newberry
Herald and News. The death angel
has visited the homes Of these news
paper workers, taking away the VEN
cradle and respected mother of the
former and the devoted wife of the
latter. Mrs. Banks had been i'll for a
year. Mrs. Aull died from heart fail
ure following an illness from typhoid
fever. Mrs. Banks was one Of the best
known women in Columbia and was
regarded for her works Of charity.
Mrs. Aull was woman of sweet and
tender disposition and was loved by
all who were fortunate enough to
know her.

We do not know why it is, whethe

We do not know why it is, whether
our merchants have more business
than they can do, or whether they do
not believe in newspaper advertising,
but advertising in this town has been
less for the last three months than
We have known it in an experience of
twenty-five years in the newspaper
business.
It is not confined to The Herald and
News, but a glance at the columns OF
our cotemporary shows the same con-
dition in that shop. 1t may be that
the business men of this community
do not care to have newspaper print
ed in the town. Certainly a news
paper, such as the two that are print
ed here now, can not survive ON their
subscription list, and can not long
survive with the amount of advertis-
ing that is now being done by the mer-
chants of this community. We notice
the exchanges of other towns, such as
Greenwood and Laurens, that the col
umns of the papers there carry good
line of advertising.

signs, and We went over the road and
made the distance from Newberry to
each cross road, but We have never
been able to get a sign made.
AS the Mail suggests, it ought to be
done, and particularly now, when so
many people are travelling over the
public highways

biles in going from the low country TO
the mountains. In fact, We have evi-
dence every day Of this. There is
scarcely a day that two or three cars
do not pass through here, and in every
case they stop, and those who have
automobile parts, gasoline and oil have
customers in these touring parties,
and yet they are the ones who seem
least inclined to do anything toward
putting roads in condition so as to be
an inducement for these touring par
ties to come this way Why then should
the rest of US, who are not directly in
terested and who will receive no direct
benefits from it, spend our time and
money in an effort to do something
for the community?
The editor of The Herald and News
is willing to admit his disappointment
in the way in which the people of
Newberry have responded to the ef-
forts, which, up to this time, have
been successful in placing, Newberry
upon this great highway from the
coast to the mountains.
The time for the completion of this
road was fixed for August II. Of
course, it was not expected that every
body should wait until that day to be-
gil work.
Just what Mr.. J. B. Hunter, vice
president for this county, has done,
we are hot informed, but presume he
has had the same poor encouragement
to do things that the rest of US have
had. The road through this county is
in fairly good condition, and with very
little effort could be made really the
best section of the road, and no better
advertisement of the county could be
made for the expenditure it would
take. If the people of the community
are satisfied with conditions, We sup
pose that We should be willing to let
them remain satisfied, but it is very
sad commentary upon their judgment
and foresight.
For many years The Herald and
News has been pioneer in the ad-
vocacy of roads, realizing the import
ance of them to the development and
advancement of any community, but
somehow it has been impossible to
arouse the people Of this community
to the Importance of the subject. 9th
er counties and other sections are 60
ing ahead in this work and it will not
be long until every section of the
State has a network Of fine public
highways.

The friends OF Col. E. H. Aull, Of
Newberry, and especially those Of the
newspaper fraternity, learn with much
regret OF the death of his beloved wife,
which occurred at her home in New
berry last Friday, following a three
weeks illness of typhoid fever. Mrs
Aull was indeed a most estimable
character and her friends were legion.
The writer knew her personally-knew
her in her home where her beautiful
instincts and noble character were
best displayed. Only those who have
passed through a similar bereavement
can fully appreciate the loss that has
come to our good friend. :

Mr.. Jno. B. Mayes, as president OF

chamber of commerce Of Columbia,
stating that he, Mr.. Handy, would be

suit to this State from the holding Of
the National Corn exposition in the
city of Columbia in 1913.

because too much is attempted in them
especially when the present era IS
reached Name is added TO name, with
but the briefest explanation of its pres

to all, the author has been led into a

PEARANCE OF THE PROFESSIONAL
ACTRESS. BY William Bouting with

Brentano's.
The high lights of the Italian Renais-
sance have been made 10 shine with re-
newed brilliancy in the long series OF
studies of the period to which English
writer's have contributed so important
a share. The contrasts of culture and
savagery. Of esthetic and intellectual
achievement and ethical confusion and
worse, Of violence, craft and treachery
relieved by Neo-Platonic converse and
the inditing Of sonnets, have been ex-
amined and presented in the abstract or
I'm concrete form in biographies of the
worthies Of that time. Many tarnished
reputatious have been rehabilitated i'm
the course of these researches by a gen
Grafton which found it difficult to rec
oncile unavowable conduct with intel
lcctual aspiration, and which, on the
whole, was led by is own culture to
confuse coarseness of speech with i'm
morality. The imaginative writers Of
the time have, moreover, been relied
Upon as mirrors Of its manners and
morals TO a greater extent than was
wise in the case Of authors whose stock
in-trade was their fancy, whose purpose
was 10 fatter in verse and to amuse in
prose-to amuse after the frank manner
Of speech of the day.
Mr.. Boulting furnishes us in this book
with a useful postscript to these numer-
Gus studies of the Renaissance, which
is not confined, its title Notwithstanding
to womanhood alone. He gives his at
tention not To the prominent figures
that have become historic, but TO the
social environment which produced
them and which they in their turn adj
vanced another step. His purpose is to
present the real progress Of the women
of Italy during the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries as it is seen in
