New York.-It was not exactly rne
fault Of Capt. Frederick Foote that
the Annie Smith, as trim little bark
entine as you can see III any port, did
not sail the other day for Brazilian
ports. Nor was it the fault OF Edwin
Moore, the mate negro that of Steve
Jackson, a negro seaman, lately de-
ceased. The blame really belonged to
the ghost of the said Steve Jackson.
The Annie Smith, with her general
cargo slowed away, her clearance pa
pers signed, her sails ready to be set,
was unable to, cast off, because Cap.
tain Foote could find no mate to sail
in her.
And il you speak to Captain Foote

tuition can weather oaths that will
make your hair stand on end, you
will learn that when Steve Jackson
slipped his cable with a knife stuck
in between his ribs, he carelessly al
lowed his ghost to roam at random
on the Annie Smith.
That was both unprofessional and
unethical on the part of Jackson, and
you can hardly blame Captain Foote
for using plain and forceful, II un-
pleasant language.
Captain Foote, you see, joined the
Annie Smith only few days ago. In
those few days Steve Jackson's ghost
has been working overtime, and with
such success that Moore, the mate,

The Newberry Herald and News
would like to have preferential pri-
mary on the candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency,
if for no other reason than to let
those people of South Carolina, who
are claiming such an overwhelming
sentiment for Gov. Wilson, know a few
things" Of course The Herald and
News knows all about it.-Orangeburg
Times and Democrat.
The Herald and News doesn't claim
to know all about it. These Wilson
fellows are the ones who have claimed
to 'know all about it." We only wish
we knew as much as they have claim
ed to know. But We can be very
modest, we think, and at the same
time claim to know about as much
about it as they do.

ROSEMONT CEMETERY.

Rosemont cemetery has been sadly
neglected in the recent past, and is to-
day reflection upon the city of New
berry. The weeds are taking posses
sion, and there seems to be very little
evidence of any effort to keep them
down. The fence IS in a dilapidated
condition, with large number of the
panels of. The whole cemetery shows
a crying need of some care and atten-
ton.
If those who have the matter in
charge are not going to look after the
city of the dead, there should be some
effort by those owning squares to take
the necessary steps to provide meth
Cd by which it may be looked after
and cared for.
Rosemont is a beautiful location for
a cemetery. 1t would not take much
effort or expense to keep it as it
should be kept.
Certainly this is matter which
should not be allowed to be neglected
longer.
1t is a sad commentary upon a
Christian people to permit neglect of
the sacred spot where the dust of
their dead mingles with the soil.

MR.. GREEN'S ACCOUNT.

We have refrained from discussing
the account of Leon NJ. Green for spe-
cial detective services, under the en-
ployment of the governor, because We
have felt that the effort to twist the
items into confusion by reason of the
difference between salary basis and
a per diem basis was so apparent on
the part of some of the newspapers,
and their attacks so permeated with
political prejudice, the attempted
fings would so disgust the thinking
people tRsy/Would fall of their own
weight. The Yorkville Enquirer dis
cusses the matter at some length. "Of
course, the regularity of the demand
for termination is beyond question: it
says, "but if any one who has kept up
with the matter, regardless of which
side he is on, honestly believes there
was any motive for that demand other
than belief that it would embarrass
somebody, why he needs to study some
more. But now the itemization is out,
That the termination has been done
merely as a compliance with the law
is evident. Work of this nature could
hardly be compensated On any other
basis than by the month with expen-
ses added. But the account is interest
ing. 1t shows that certain work that
is necessary and important has been
and is being done, and people who
really think are likely to be impressed
with the idea that if this work is to
be done at all, it is just as well that
there be no official publicity about it,
such as has been given. There is a
suggestion about it also that even if
Mr.. Green was put on this detective
job as kind of compensation for the
loss of his other job, he is evidently
giving value received to the best OF
his ability, and except through de-
sire for very questionable political
advantage there would have been nc

the office of governor to Ben Tillman.
But the, reformers, quick to forget,
went into the fold until they elected
another poor boy governor, and then
the howl went up and will not go down
until the people stand true to their
colors and put it down. And when
quiet is restored, we may all come
back into the fold again, but let US
have our governor the second term.
It's customary. The farmers have
grown tired of strife and vituperation.
We are attending no conventions and
kicking up no rackets-quietly piow-
ing and miring our way on the farms,

don't see how any man could vote for

around the ballot boxes during the
next primary, and We will show you
Just how it is done.

DR.. Scherer's Success.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
DR.. James A. B. Scherer is doing a
great educational work in California.
So much is apparent from internal
evidence in the new catalogue Of
Throop Polytechnic institute, at Pasa-
dena, of which he became president at
the time of its reorganization and en-
largement in 1909. A physical equip
ment in keeping with the ambitious
plans of the school has been provided.
Within the past two years two maJes-
tic buildings have been erected and a
large structure to comprise al audi
torium and an art gallery is shortly
to be raised. During the past year
four friends of the school increased
it's endowment by $250,000 at the same
time all debts on the property were
cleared away. A high standard Is
maintained in teaching the applied
sciences and the essential humanities,
the chief aim being to produce skilled
and resourceful engineers who are
also broadly cultured. The institute
is the only school of technology west
of the Mississippi, and situated in
region of large industrial develop
ments and much larger latent resonr-
ces. it has wisely sought to relate it
self closely to the industrial problems
of it's environment. DR.. Scherer is an
admirable director of this great work.
Educated at Roanoke college. and
PENNSYLVANIA college, he was for i've
wears teacher of English in the lmpef-
ial college at Saga, Japan; for SIX
wears professor of history in the L-u'
theran seminary at Charleston, and
for four years president of Newberry
college. In this wide range of pfof9s-
sional work, supplemented with au-
thorship and extensive travel, his
large natural abilities have ripened to
a rich maturity 1t is pleasan!. tc

interference with his work. OF course,
since there is no question that Mr..
Green is working on a salary basis,
and he has been required to itemize
on a per diem basis, it will be easy
enough to ridicule the alleged incon-
sistencies of the amount; but it will
be dificult-very difhcult-to make
anybody see that there is anything
behind it all, other than a desire to
secure political advantage even at the
expense of the public service"

Editor of The Herald and News:
| have just read the proceedings OF
the convention, and note, in one par
ticular, that they did not conform to
the general rule or custom. 1t has
been the custom to name as. delegates
at large to the national convention. the
two United States senators, the gov
ernor, and the chairman Of the State
executive committee. But Blease's OPP
moments had declared that he would
not be named if they could prevent It,
Wei, while we peace-loving farmers
regret such a state of affairs, the
trends Of Elease should be we'll pleas
.e3 10 see tha ants do the wrong thing
at the right time. 1t simply shows
the dagger thrust at Blease, but
landing in the hearts of the majority
of the people of South Carolina, for
the majority must have elected hlm
governor.
Well, in comparison, allow me to
say, that the reformers are somewhat
like a negro-quick to forget mistreat-
ment if you do not remind him of it.
But the ants, like the old time aristo-
Gratis, never knew how to manage the
negro and they keep our minds fresh
by such acts, and my word for it, this
verya act of the convention has made
for Cole. L. Blease thousands of votes.

that his mind was refreshed of the
times away back in the sixties when
men lost their eyes, their legs and
arms, facing cannon and grape in de-
fence of their country. But when it
came later on to give up the Offices,
they tried to wreck the same State

The Anderson Intelligencer an
nounces that Col. Leon NJ. Green has
taken editorial charge of that paper
Col. V. B. Cheshire, the owner of the
paper, says the business end of the
Intelligencer has reached a point
where he can no longer attend to that
and edit the paper at the same time,
and hence Mr.. Green's editorial man
agement-
Mr.. Green was formerly Columbia
correspondent of the News and Courier,
which asked for his resignation as
correspondent or as member of the
staff. Mr.. Green promptly
resigned as correspondent
Mr.. Green is one Of the, most cap
able young newspaper men in the
State. Because he refused to resign
from the governors staff rather than
from the staff of the News and Courier
he has been made a target for most of
the newspapers of the State.
This has been uncalled-for, and we
do not think Mr. Green has suffered
by it.
