On battlefield in Virginia today the
people of Newberry, through Judge W..
G. Peterson and the party accompany
ing him, will place suitable memorial
tablet on the spot where Col. James D..
Nance gave up his young life at the
head of his regiment, battling for
Southern independence. 1t is we'll for
a people to forget not the greatness Of
their past. No great throng will wit
ness the placing of the tablet on the
Virginia battlefield today, and no Ella
borate ceremonies will mark the event.
But the simple tablet will bear elo-
quent testimony to the gratitude of a
people.

MAN HAD BRIDE STOLEN
FROM HIM TWICE SAME DAY

New York, Aug. 14.-Mark Vance
today was afraid to leave for moment
his bride, who was Miss Edna Finn,
for though they we're twice married,
Vance twice lost his wife within TWEEN
ty-four hours.
The young couple first were wed
at an early and unconventional hour
at Coney Island and when Mr.. and
Mrs. Finn heard about it, they were
indignant. They refused to recognize
such an unheard-of wedding, and kept
the bride at home, and away from her
husband until they agreed to second
wedding in church. They agreed, out
while the bridegroom last night was
signing the church register, party OF
fellow Elks kidnapped the bride, Whlrl-
ed her away in taxicab, and 1t was
an early hour today when vance
caught up with them at a Sixth ave-
nue. restaurant, and rescued his wife.

THE SENATE YIELDS
ON THE PENSION BILL
Accedes to Demands of House and
Passes It-Agencies to be
Abolished.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE senate
today yielded to the demands Of the
house for the abolition of the pension
agencies throughout the United States
and passed the s15O,OOO,OOO pension
appropriation bill with provision for
the abolition of the agencies January
81, 1912
The action of the conference was
the elimination of dispute which has
held up the payment of over s9,000,-
O0Oof pension payments due Civil war
veterans, on August 4, and has thrown
the financial operations of the pension
bureau into chaos. The house will
probably accept the senate provision
regarding the abolition of the pension
agencies throughout the country.
Under the senate provision the pay
ment O.. all pensions after the date
named would be made directly from
the pension bureau at Washington. At
present the bureau has nothing to do
with the actual payment of vouchers,
the checks going out through the
hands of the IS district pension agents.
The change would abolish Is $4,000
boards and result in the retirement or
the removal to Washington of several
hundred district clerks. A saving of
about S250,O00 in administration of the
pension laws will follow.

THE HERALD AND NEWS AND
POLITICS.

In view of certain statements which
have been made in connection with the
course of The Herald and News during
the present campaign and the race Of
Mr.. E. H. Aull for reelection as coun-
ty superintendent of education, it may
be we'll to make a statement as to the
position which The Herald and News
has taken, its reason therefor, and to
emphasize the fact that this news
paper, in refusing to straddle the poll
tical fence, has done its duty as it saw
it, and has no apologies to make for it.
The Herald and News has defended
Governor Blease against what it con-
ceived to be unjust attacks made upon
him, and it has defended him to the
extent of its ability. Its fight for the
governor has been open and above
board, and as fair as we knew how to
make it. The Herald and News as a
newspaper has duty to perform That
duty it has sought to perform 1t has
taken a firm stand, and so long as it
is under its present management it
will continue to take firm stand upon
the issues which arise-and to stand
for the right, as it sees the right 1t
has not directed or sanctioned any at
tack upon the two gentlemen who op-
pose the governor in this campaign,

time ago that the Columbia State have
Sergeant King made secretary of war

don't know what We can do with Wat

rendered such distinguished service.

The Herald and News is in receipt
of a great number of communications
a great many of which it would be
pleased to publish if it had the space
to do so. The communications receiv-
ed on one mail this week would almost
fill the entire paper. 1t will be impos-
sible to publish them all, but some of
them we hope to be able to handle.

charges, some of them of an exceed
ingly vile nature, which have been di-
rected at him. Governor Blease is a
native of Newberry county; he was
born and reared in Newberry, and lived
here until his Inauguration, and this is
still his home. The Herald and News
believes he has been unjustly persecut-
ed. and has not hesitated to say so.
The Herald and News believes he is
entitled to another term as governor,
and has not hesitated to say so, and
does not now hesitate to say so.
1t has been stated to Mr. E. H. Aull
by some of his friends that if this
newspapers policy in the gubernator-
ial race continued to be so pronounced
that if curb were not placed upon
the editorial writer-that many Of Mr..
E. H. Aull's friends among the politi-
cal opponents of Governor Blease
would have to vote against Mr.. Aull
for county superintendent of educa-
ton.
Mr.. E. H. Aull has sought and is
seeking reelection as county superin-
tendent of education on his merits, on
the record he has made since he has
held the office, and on his qualifca-
tons for the position. If he were to
have his newspaper straddle the poll
tical fence because it might drive votes
away from him in his race he would
not be worthy the position of editor of
The Herald and News, and certainly in
that event ought not to command that
respect from the people of Newberry
county which would lead them to vote
for him for probably the most import
ant position in the county-the head
of the county's schools.
About the middle of July it was stat
ed in The Herald and News that I
would be in charge of the editorial
management of the paper until Sep
tember 1. Since that announcement 1
have been in charge of the paper This,
however, does not mean that Mr.. E. H.
Aull is not responsible for what has
appeared in the paper, or that he is
seeking to avoid responsibility. AS
editor of the paper and as president
and manager of the company which
publishes the paper, the responsibility
for what appears in its columns is his
at last, and that responsibility he has
no desire to escape. In fact, l would
not seek to direct the policy of The
Herald and News along line which l
thought would not meet his endorse
ment; and, of course, could not do so
if 1 would.
This puts the position of this paper
and the position of Mr.. Aull before the
people of the county. The paper has
spoken for itself, and in no uncertain
voice. The record of Mr.. Aull as coun-
ty superintendent of education is be-
fore the people of the county.
The Herald and News will continue
to be run as a newspaper, doing its
duty as it sees it, and not as political
organ for it's editor.

And now there is one more thing I'd
like to say,
That Cole. is the talk of the day,
But if you want to have good friend,
Just cast your vote for Cole. and you

For he makes a god hit when he gets
in,

had yet.

For the second time a basket ball team

Of suitable playing quarters.
Games have already been arranged with

A contest will be played with the Uni

meet Virginia in both foot ball and base
ball. The base ball game will probably
be played at College Park this spring,

N STREET HIGH WINS
FROM ARMSTRONG

Outplayed but not outgamed, the Arm
strong Technical High School foot ball
team went down to defeat by the score
of Is to at the hands of the well drilled
eleven at NJ Street High School Monday
afternoon. No prettier scholastic game
has been witnessed hereabout in many a
day, and no larger crowd of loyal school
adherents has been on hand to cheer
their champions on. From the time Rector
received Greene's forward pass until the
final play of the day the game was never
in doubt, and had not Armstrong; sturdy
defense stood her in stead at critical mo-
ments score twice as large would have
resulted. NJ Street worked forward passes
with skill and precision, and the line re-
sisted all effort on the part OF the oppo-
nent backfield to consistently gain. Ran
dali, captain of NJ street. played the best
game of his career; he was smashing
plays all over the field, and was respon-
sble for touchdown and many of the
gains of his team by hurting his bulk of
nearly 200 pounds against his adversaries.
Greene was tower of cool, brainy
strength. using rare headwork under the
stress of exciting moments, with Oppo-
nents pouring in at all angles. His passes
were accurate. and Rector and Smith
were ever ready receivers For light man
Rector is one Of the nerviest players the
his running and all-around playing were
spectacular and consistent. Talbert played
a better game than at any time previ-
ously this season. Short and stockily
built. he has always been a good running
back, and yesterday proved no exception
in this regard. Burwell and Johnson are
entirely too fast for the team of which
they are members. Could an interference

would prove stars Of the first water Con-
