peachment proceedings. 1t is not known
whether this threat had any influence
on the Secretary or upon the President.
At any rate. the Secretary has been
under constant fire from the advocates
Of conservation since the spring OF 1913,
almost Immediately after he came into
office.
This national controversy began when
former Forester Clifford Pinchot and the
Secretary clashed at the meetings OF the
conservation congress, in Spokane, over
the conservation policy. Special Ageht
Louis R. CLAWS, Of the Department OF
Interior, told Mr.. Pinchot at that time
that the Secretary was about to pracu-
cally give to a syndicate the mast Valu-
able coal lands in Alaska
Mr.. Pinchot advised CLAWS to go TO
Beverly at once and lay the whole mat
ter before the President ms ne @ alu'
telling the President that II the Gun
ningham coal claims were patented II
would mean that the Guggenheim ana
Morgan interests would gain control Ior
a song of these vastly rIch coal uepoSl..
The President at once began an lnVesu-
cation of his own, and was assisted by
the Attorney General This inVesuga-
tion reasulted in the eXoneration OF the
Secretary after the preparation OF inc
famous Lawler letter, written, IL was
afterward determined, by the Asslstah' an
Attorney General for the Interior De-
partment under Mr.. Ballingers olrec-
tlon.

Mr.. Pinchot took a prominent hanu
In the matter by writing letter to
Senator DoIliver, which the late Iowian
read in the Senate. This seriously re-
f1ected upon the Secretary of the In
terror, and was so fierce a denunc1a.
ton Of the policy Of the Department OF
Interior that the President at once
asked for Pinchot's resignation.
CLAWS resignation was demanded by
the President. From that time the cam
paign against the Secretary OF the IN
terror was waged with Nnrelenting Wig
or. Newspapers and magazines all
over the country took the matter up,
and before it had proceeded far Secre-
tary Ballinger demanded CongresslCn-
al Investigation.
At first the President opposed such
an investigation. Later, however, he
agreed that Congress should go into the
whole matter. The result was the ap-
pointment Of a committee OF the two
houses which sat for weeks.
Three reports were made. The ma
iority report, signed by the Republican
regulars on the committee, exonerated
Ballinger of all blame. The second was
submitted by the Democrats, which
found the Secretary unworthy, and the
third was signed by Representative
Madison, an insurgent, who found the
official unfit for public office.

Some while back The Herald and
News stated, in reply to an editorial
in the Anderson Daily Mail In re-
gard to sign boards on the public
roads, that it was the duty of the
supervisor to have these sign boards
put up, or that the law required that
it be done. We were writing from
our impression of the statute on the
subject without referring to the
statute. We knew there was a law on
the subject We have since looked up
the statute and find that We were
slightly mistaken as to the provisions
of the law.
, In the Code of 1902, Section 1887, it
is provided: Each overseer, within
his district, may erect and keep up,
at the expense Of the county, at the
forks and cross roads, post and
guide-board, or finger-board, contain
ing an Inscription, in lesible letters,
directing the way and distance to the
town or towns, or public place or
places, situated on each road, respec-
lively
The same provision is in the new
code which is proposed for adoption
by the next legislative session and is
section 1875.
It seems, therefore, that the law
leaves it within the discretion Of the
overseers. But they have the right
and the authority to 90 ahead al
have the boards put up and the couA-
ty must pay for them. And it should
be done, especially on the main roads
of each county.

FAMILY REUNION.


There is a lot of hard worl. to dc
and much Of sadness, sorrow and suf-
fering in this old world, but there is,
lots of times of rest and happiness
and pleasure and sweetness mixed
along with it.
One of these happy occasions was
celebrated Tuesday, August 8, at the
home of John A. Shealy, near Little
Mountain. It was a family reunion
celebrating tie s:xty-second birthday
of Mr.. Shealy, when every one of the
children was present, being the first
time they were all together in fifteen
years. One son-in-law, one-daughter-
in-law and four grandchildren were
absent. There are ten children, and
there has never been a death in the
family. They are W. Aug. Shealy, of
LeesVille; A. J. Shealy, of Perry;
Mrs. G.. A. Epting, of LeesVille; Miss
Bessie Shealy, at home; Mrs. Jacob
Long, of Slighs; Mrs. William Koon,
Of Chaplin; Mrs. John Ballentine, Of
Pickens; Mrs. Claude Clark, Of Peak;
Miss Nell Shealy, in shcool, and Mas
ter Milledge .Shealy. A bounteous
dinner was enjoyed and many days
long gone by We're lived over again.
The crowning happiness of the day
centred around the presence Of the
father and mother Of Mr.. Shealy, Mr..
Ind Mrs: Jacob Shealy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shealy are perhaps the most remark
able pair in the State, being ninety
two years old, still active and in good
health, never having had a death in
their family until a few months ago,
when Mr.. Drayton I. Shealy, OF sPros- !
perity, died. The house in which they
i've and have lived all their married
life, has never had a death in it.
It is earnestly hoped that all these
people may live to meet together on
such an occasion ften. +

SANITARY CONDITIONS.
continue.

The Charlotte Observer, commenting
on the way in which the board of
health Of Asheville has handled the
sanitary conditions in that city, espe-
cially with reference to typhoid fever,
says:
"Asheville's :wide-awake board OF
health reports only eight cases, of ty-
phoid fever and not a death in that
city up to the middle of July, being
fewer cases than at the same time in
the last twenty years. Commenting
there eupon the Bulletin of the health
department says: 'It is pleasure to
note that the decrease in typhoid few
er so far this year is in the outlying
districts where there are no water and
sewer connections. This, We think,
is due to the installation of our new
surface closet system and to the fur
ther attention that has been paid by
our inspectors this summer to back
yards, stables and premises generally.
The result of this is a large diminu-
ton in the number of flies in our city
this year." /
It further says that there has not
been one case in the city this year to
$500 Of population, and =. not one
death from the disease. This is a
good record. Please read what is
said as the reason for this healthy |
condition and see, or ask yourself, il
It would not be the part OF wisdom
to apply some of these remedies in
our own community. Just what is
meant by the new surface closet sys-

"It is claimed that the coroner Of
Newberry county, who receives .s25
a month, is being overworked, and
there is demand for an increase in
his pay. Wouldn't it be better for
the people of Newberry county to give
him less to do?'-Spartanburg jour
nal.
This is very good advice, but how it
was ever conceived in the mind OF a
spartanburg paper we are at loss to
understand. SO long, however, as
the people of Newberry county need
a coroner, and have a good one, we
are sure the Journal will agree with
US that they ought to pay him a salary
commensurate with the Importance OF
his of6ce-and at least a salary that
will pay his official expenses.

We have watched and have been in
terested in the Daily Journal, of
Greenwood, published by the Messrs.
Gardener, more than We would nave
been, possibly because of the fact that
some years ago we printed an after
noon paper in the town of Newberry,
and the Journal resembles our paper
so much, that somehow, we have taken
a personal interst in it, as far as pos
sible. The Messrs. Gardener have
been printing very neWsy paper and
it is a credit to them as we'll as the
town of Greenwood. We hope their
efforts are being appreciated in a
substantial way by the business con-
Germs of Greenwood. Of course suc',
a paper is a big advertisement for

The Herald and News has frequent
ly undertaken to run church direc-
tory and as frequently the effort has
failed. We have asked the pastors of
the town always to keep this directory
corrected, for otherwise it is a dis
advantage rather than an advantage
to print it. Besides, We do not care
to publish a directory OF the church
services which is incorrect. Being
unable to interest the pastors sufh-
ciently to give US the corrections for
this directory, We have decided to cut
it out. We felt that if We could give
the space and make the corrections
that the pastors would be sufficiently
interested to furnish the corrections,
but it seems they. are not. We sup
pose they do not, consider that it is

worth while, or that the publication
of a directory is an advantage.

The editor spent Sunday at the old
home in Greenwood county near Dy-
son. The crops in that section are
as good as we have ever seen them.
Master Luther Bachman Aull is a
member of the school boys corn club
and is contesting for the prize. he
has an acre of very fine corn. The
onlv drawback is that possibly he did
not oct a regular stand. But suppose
he makes only a hundred bushels at
present prices that is hundred dol
lars and for the same cost he could
not have made that much in cotton. A
great proportion of the ears on this
acre are over twelve inches in length
and two, and three ears to the stalk
in many places.
Mr.. Geo. W. Reid has some fine corn
on his bottom land near the station
at Dyson, and the crops all around IN
that section have a healthy look and
indicate a good yield. There was a
heavy rain in the community on Sat-
urday.

and putting it in the soil at no cost

Sixth. One rule that must be fol-
lowed the first year you attempt to
grow it get soil from a place where
some variety of vetch has grown be-
fore and spread it over your land at
the rate of 200 to 600 pounds per acre,
and it can be grown successfully IN
the poorest soil, and without it, 1t
will be apt to fail on the best OF SOIL.

We have recently, on several occa-

LESS men Of this community to the
Importance of having the two roads
leading to the steel bridges across the
Saluda river put in good repair SO as
to be ready for the fall trade from Sa-
luda county. We had occasion this
week to go as far as Deadfall over one
of these roads. It is in very bad
condition and in many places there
is not sufficient width on the road for
one vehicle to pass another without
going into a ditch or into the field.
This is considered one of the most
roads from business
standpoint leading into Newberry. We
have tried to call to the attention of
the business men the Importance of
making this a frst-class road. It
