Newberry Herald and News.

Newberry Herald and News.
Really? Or is it a joke? The New
berry Herald and News supported
Governor Blease in the primary, and
supported him with most marked abll-
ity. Nor is the paper "crowing" over
the result or trying to "rub it in" on
the men who stood by Judge Jones
Il has gone no further than to ad-
wise the losers to know when they
are whipped" and to stop "a-holler-
ing"
Surely The Herald and News is not
in earnest about the swords and
muskets.
Reckless talk, that. The Herald
and News might retract it's language
with great credit to itself and in great
Justice to "old fellows" of South Caro-
lina.-Augusta Chronicle.
We never crow over victories. We
are satisfied to have done our duty.
We might say in regard to swords and
muskets that of course we were
satisfied that the good, sober, common
sense and judgment of the people of
South Carolina would prevail, and we
feel sure that when the committee
meets again it will declare Governor
Blease the nominee of the party and
all good Democrats will join in his
election in November.

The Newbefry Herald and News is

The Newbefry Herald and News is
ore of the few newspapers in South
Carolina that claims to believe that
the. late primary election was fairly
conducted and that the great increase
in the vot of the State was all right
and proper There is no telling what
some folks can believe when they
make up their minds to believe it
Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
If you know that the election was
unfairly conducted why not produce
the evidence and give the specifica-
tons? The vote in Newberry county
was about 500 more than two years
ago or an increase of about 20 per
cent, and we have not found any one
yet who is willing to produce any evil
dence that there was illegal voting in
this county.

SambO's Ambition.

"Well, Sambo," said the colonel as
he greeted one of his old-time retain
ers. 81 hope the world is treating
you we'll"
"Yessuh, tollable we'll, suh," said
Sambo.
"I suppose, like all the rest of u.s.
YOU are trying hard to get rich," said
the colonel.
"Wa-al, boss" said sambo, "Ah
cyarn't say All care much fo' riches
mahseff, sub. De height O. my ambi-
ton am to become whad yo' might call
a watahmillionaire, suh.'
Whereupon the colonel sent him
home with the foundation for such a
fortune in the shape of watermelon
that was just "a-oozin'" with the de-
sired riches.-Judge's Library.

The special committee appointed to
probe the recent primary election did
not meet on Wednesday, as at first
advertised. If the plan outlined by
Mr.. Stevenson is carried out, and
copies of all poll lists and club rolls
are made and printed in the new
papers, before the committee begins
the real investigation of the primary,
nothing will be done until after the
general election, because it will take
a good deal of time to secure accurate
copies of all the poll lists and club
rolls, and, in fact, we doubt if the
thing is possible any way. We confess
that we do not understand the purpose
of the committee, even if there should
be found irregularities, as no doubt
there will be, it will be difficult. to de-
termine whether those irregularities
affected the vote for Blease or Jones.
If they should be found sufficiently
serious to affect either one of these
races, why should they not also affect
the races for other State officers, and
all of the county officers, because it is
true that nearly every man who voted
in the governors race voted also in
all of the races in each of the coun-
ties.

A Queer Case of Thrift.

The native thrift of the Vermonters
was under discussion and a story was
told that was held to illustrate it per-
fectly.
There was man in one of the in
terror Vermont towns who had An old
horse ringboned, spawned, with the
heaves and every other horse ailment
"a mere shadow of horse. He used
to drive the horse to town every day
and was jeered by his neighbors for
using such miserable beast.
One day he walked into the store
at the corners. where's your horse,
Jas?" a friend asked.
"Sold him.
"Sold him! How much did you
get?"
"Got hundred dollars"
"Who, in thunder did you sell that
horse to for hundred dollars?"
why replied the Vermonter, as
he exhibited roll of bills, 81 sold
him to mother" Saturday Evening
Post.

THE SILVERSTREET SCHOOL.

THE SILVERSTREET SCHOOL.
The trustees of the Silverstreet
school district have secured a lot for
the building of the new school house,
and will let the contract in a few
days, and it is hoped to have the
building completed by the first OF
January.
The location selected is one of the
most desirable in the town and the
trustees have gone at the matter in a
business-like way and secured suffi-
cient land to furnish the children
ample playground, and as the town
grows, and the school increases, it
there should be demand for a building
for the superintendent, there is ample
ground for this purpose, also. In
fact, they have sufficient land so that
if it is desired a small experimental
farm could be operated in connection
with the school. There is no doubt
that the building of this school will
advance the commercial growth Of
the community more than anything
else that could possibly have been
done.
People who are desiring homes
will be looking in the direction OF
silverstreet as soon as the school
building is completed and the school
is thoroughly organized, and in few
wears there is no doubt that the tax
able property in this district will in
crease very materially. This has
been the history of other communities
where good schools were provided.
People as a rule have come to realize
thai thew must educate their children
and when any one is looking for a
home the first question he asks him
self is. is there a school in the COM
mnnitv. Silverstreet is a good trade
centre already and when this school
is in operation, it will be found that
business of all kinds will materially
increase and the community will de-
velop much more rapidly than it has
in the past.
The Southern Railway Should look
into affaics at Silverstreet and pro-
vide better depot facilities at that
point 1t is stated by some of those
who. are in position to know that there
are possibly as many solid cars ship
ped from Silverstreet as there are
from Newberry. The town is located
in one of the most fertile sections Of
the. county and the people are alive to
the development OF the community,
and the depot facilities, both freight
and passenger, are entirely inadequate
to the business that is done at tn
point.
