GOOD BUSINESS
 OUTLOOK IN 1872 Presidential Election Will
 Have no Effect BUSINESS GOOD NOW Warehouse Men in New York City Report Very Favorable Condi- tions-The Traffic Agreement
 May Prove Important

New York, January 4.-(Speeial.)- Not even a presidential election will be able to make business in 1912 bad,' de- cIares a close observer of business con ditions the other day. "There may be flurries in Wall street." he continued; Speculation may be hampered and Wall street may not enjoy the year as much as it might, but the real business of the country is on a firm basis and is going to be good'
 And this pretty well represents the gem eral idea among men who are in touch with conditions throughout the country.
 The big crops means good business for the railroads; this in turn goes long way toward insuring a steady demand for steel. With the railroads and the steel mill proftably busy hard times would be difficult to bring about.
 Added to this the low price of cotton permitting the steady employment of the great cotton mill industry and another long step is taken toward prosperity.
 Then the copper business is in fine shape and the other great underlying in- dustries Of the country face a good out NSSh tthd iiiohSy io III picllthui oupply lOi legitimate purposes. Taken all together, there is good ground for optimism.
 A movement which business distinctly deems in the direction of betterment has clearly begun. Wall street, always sen sltive to economic changes which can be converted to stock market uses by specu- lative processes of diseounting, has given this week more unmistakable evidence of the trade and industrial attenuation. Wall street may be wrong, but those observers who are most convinced that another eco homie change is coming about are ignor- ing the phenomena of the stock market. They are paying attention exclusively to the facts of forward bookings of goods and to the widespread symptoms of a more confident expectation which are manifesting themselves in quarters where it is hardly known that the stock mar kets exist. They have been much im- pressed with the persistence of very profitable commercial and industrial &C., tyity abroad through all the distributing uncertainties of the last half year, and they are persuaded that this is a very excellent reason for believing that it is time to bring the domestic business of the United States within the sphere of expansive influences.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

This issue of The Herald and News
carries a number of articles which We
are sure will be read with interest by
the people of Newberry county. Of
course, they deal largely with the his
tory of the paper during the past quar-
to-century, but all that time the paper
was a part of the social, political and
commercial life of the community, and
we think we can truthfully say, has
always stood for the progress and de-
veIopment of Newberry county, and
the editor is gratifed at the number
of those who have been connected with
the paper for the contributions for
this issue. We are also. gratifed at
the number Of merchants who have
taken advantage of this issue to ad-
vertise their goods. We call espe-
cial attention the advertisements In
that portion of the paper which deals
particularly with the quarto-centen-
nial.
The editor has no promise to make
for the future, but will endeavor to
perform his duty to the public as ne
sees it and as the occasion presents
itself, without fear or favor.

in TO do your best, remembering that
the eyes of the grown people are on
you, and that according to the energy
and intelligence of your efforts will
be the estimate you will win among
your fellows.-Yorkville Enquirer,
This is what We have been telling
the boys of this county whenever we
had an opportunity to speak to them,
and we desire to emphasize what is
said for the benefit of the boys, who
enter and who contemplate entering
the Boys Corn contest. Every boy
has a chance to win, and as the En-
ouirer says, every boy should re-
member that in the contest there are
possibilities for improvement that are
worth as much as actual success" In
our judgment that is really the point
to he emphasized in any contest. The
boy who goes in with the determina-
ton to win and does his best will get
as much benefit from the effort as if
he won the prize. The fact is that it
frequently happens that the boy who
makes an honest effort to win prize
really gets more benef: from the con-
test than the boy who wins the prize.
The lists are still open in this coun-
ty and we would be pleased to have
more of the boys enter the Boys Corn
contest.

Now you Corn Club boys, get right
down to it. There is not one of you
who has not as good chance to win
as any one of the others. 1t is true
that the parents of some of you have
better tools, better teams, more mon
ey and more willingness to help than
some of the others. But even that is
not everything. Where there is a will
there is a way. Any boy who will,
ought to be able to manage an acre OF

it with a thoroughness that has no

Governor Rlease vetoed numeer
of items in the appropriation bill, yet
the legislature passed most of them
over his veto. In most Of the cases ne
was right, but he should have gone
further. The governor did not seem TO
have the nerve to veto items which
amounted to something, but rather ne
vetoed the smaller appropriations.
However, he was right as far as ne
went hut he should have used the veto
more freely.-Bamberg Herald.
The Bamberg Herald is correct.
While the vetoes of the governor in
the appropriation bill do not amount
to a great deal in dollars, yet it will
call the attention of the people in the
State to the fact that this bill IS in
creasing from year to year. A great
manv of these small items get in on
the plea that each one would add sucn
an infnitesimal amount to each tax
payer that it would not increase the
burden, but when a number Of them
are added together, it makes a con-
siderable sum.
We agree further with the Herald
that if we had been in the governors
place, we are inclined to think that
some of the larger items would have
met with our veto.
