if you do not win the prize the effort
will be worth as much to you as the
boy who wins. On the contrary we
do not want to see any boy enter in
a half hearted sort Of way. Go in
with all the enthusiasm Of your ma
ture or stay out. We want you in the
contest but We want you to bring your
enthusiasm and energy and determi-
nation with you. The entries close On
March 1, because if you do not go in
by that time it is sure sign that your
heart and soul are not in the work.
We would like to have one hundred
boys who are determined to show
their fathers how to make corn and
if we can secure that number we feel
sure there will be some one in the list
who will take a prize at the National
Corn Show in Columbia in 1918.
We hope to be able to raise some
prizes locally to act as a stimulus and
if there are any public spirited citi-
zens and business men who feel in
terested in the work and desire to Of
fer any prizes we will be glad to make
the fact known.

boys all the aid and encouragement
and information he may have and in
his rounds will visit the boys also.

A PULL TOGETHER.

The committee in charge of putting
into force the "Rock Hill Plan," COM
posed of B. C. Matthews, ". G.. Brown
and W. E. Wallace, has appointed can
vassers for the various townships of
the county and these canvassers will
start out at once.
The mass meeting u farmers in the
court house on last Saturday was not
as large as it should have been, but
the gentlemen in charge are not in
the least discouraged and are going to
push the work to a successful termi-
nation. It is a matter that vitality
concerns every cotton grower in New
berry county, and for that every cot
ton grower in the South. 1t should be
easy to secure the pledges and the
funds to carry on the work. The
committee estimates that the total
cost will not exceed $500 and they
have already secured S120 of this
amount Any contributions may be
left with Mr. Matthews at the National
bank or handed to any member of the

REPORT OF DISPENSARY COMMIS.
SION.

The report Of the tSate Dispensary
Commission appointed by Governor
Blease is gratifying in the two most
important particulars: 1t is couched
in dignifed language, seeming to deal
with facts and facts alone, without
seeking to impugn actions or motives,
except as the facts may impugn them;
and it brings into view the final wind
ing-up of all the affairs of the old
State dispensary.
There is resume of finances in the
report, which is published in The Her.
aid and News today, which gives some
interesting facts and figures in re-
gard to the comparatively small net
amount received by the State from the
so-called graft" accounts placed in
the hands of one Fielder, and the
enormous receipts of the said Fielder
on these same graft accounts. The
figures speak for themselves, and need
no comment.
Under the report, it would seem
that the affairs of the old State dis
pensary are practically wound up.
This was what the first commission
was appointed to do. The pity is it
didn't do it, instead of involving the
State in all the disgrace of the Eel
der mess. The real pity is that when
the State dispensary was abolished
the legislature did not then and there
pass an Act winding up the whole bus
mess so tight that it never could have
been reopened. Much crlmlnatlon and
recrimination, without result except
the blackening of names and the taint-
ing of the escutcheon of the State, and
without profit except infnitessimal,
could have been prevented.
The present commission, judging its
actions by its report, has gone at its
work with the true end in view-that
of a final disposition Of the whole bus
mess, and the tone of the report al@
the work of the commission as shown
by the report, are to ;De commended.

committee.

committee. d.
AS important, however, as signing
the pledge is the determination to
carry it out. 1t is the doctrine that
has been preached by The Herald
and News for the past twenty-five
years, but possibly in little different
form. If every farmer will raise his
own supplies he will necessarily re-
duce his cotton acreage and until he
does this he will never make any mon
ey growing cotton it matters not what
the price may be. This is what the
Rock Hill Plan" means, as we under
stand it. The sooner the farmers of
the South and especially of Newberry
county learn this lesson the sooner
they will become Independent, and, in
fact, we might say they will always
be dependent until they do learn the
lesson. 1t is strange, with SO many
examples before them of the truth Of
this statement, they learn so slowly,
or if they learn they make mighty
poor use of their knowledge.
Let every one give encouragement
to the plan that is now On foot for
organized effort to help the farmer.
Of course what helps the farmer helps
everybody else and we are all person
ally interested in the success of the
movement, Then it behooves every
one to pull together and help the
movement. Of course, there will be
some who will knock. There are al
ways some people who will oppose
even those things that are for their
own best interests, but if there are
any who will not join in this move
ment we will have to shove them
aside and let the wagon roll on.

Every farmer should have one or
more drags, and then he should see

the county. Mr.. J. G. Neel and Mr..

AS all three of the announced can
didates for governor are from New
berry it may be interesting to quote
how the situation appears to one of
them. Mr.. John T. Duncan in his pa
per sums up the situation as it ap-
pears to him at present as follows:
"The political situation is a study
for my opponents and for their
friends.
THAT Jones has his troubles and
that Blease is desperate one has but
to observe to be convinced.
1--WE sum up the matter thus.
'Blease has Won over not one voter
who opposed him, and ten thousand
Of his supporters are now ashamed OF
him and will not again commit the
folly.
Zones, who was crowded out by
Woods and smoked out by Blease, is
down and out for good.

for honest government and has Of
ten served his State and his people
in an emergency, and be has faith in
the Injunction to ''cast the bread upon
the waters for thou shalt find it af-

record made by Jerry Moore IS the
reason South Carolina is to have the

I have not written for some time
now. I thought maybe it was just as
well to give the readers rest and
let theeditor tell them about the leg
islature and the governor and the
vetoes and the "expunging" resolution
and all that sort of thing. Well, this
is great country in which We live,

the same mind or to think alike.

I had not been there in a long time

but I just wanted to see the legisla-
ture in session once more. 1t is an
amusing sight-beats circus. wish
every voter in Newberry county could
go down and look on for just few
hours. 1t would d. them good. I
mean-well, I think it would do the
voter and the legislature both good
the voter would see for himself just
how they do things, or rather do not
do them, and the legislature would
be more careful if the members knew
their constituents were looking in on
them. The senator and members from
Newberry did not see me, and I was
glad of it for I did not want to be OBJ
served-that is if they did see me they
never let on-but I saw them and I
saw Fred Schumpert, too, but he was
too busy to see me. I just walked
around and looked, but to tell the
truth I could not see just what they
were doing. I heard that they we're
discussing the governor and some of
his messages messages, I be-
ieve-but I did not hear any Of our
Newberry members say anything that
is they did not say it out loud. call
ed at the governors Office one night
while the legislature was discussing
him, but the Office was locked and I
did not have my card with me, so I
reckon he does not know that L called.
I suppose he was at home.
7 noticed that there was an old rag
tied to a pole floating from the dome
of the capitol, and I asked some one
what that meant, and was told that
it was flag which was always float
ing while the legislature was in ses-
sion. I forgot to ask whether it was
meant to be State or United States
flag, but I reckon it must be intended
for a State flag. I wish some one
would tell me. do not know just
where to look tc find out which flag
it is intended to represent. I want to
take up a popular subscription to
raise money to have real flag made
so that the Old dish rag which now
floats to the breeze from the State

something decent put up, if it is neces-
