We have just learned of the death
of Judge }. NJ. Crosson at his home in
Texas. He will be remembered in
Newberry by only few Of the present
residents, as he left the county for
Texas before the war. At one time he
was for awhile the editor the paper Of
which The Herald and News is the
successor.
Sorne years ago he wrote number
articles for The Herald and News in
regard to old times in Newberry.
He has number of relatives in
Newberry In a subsequent issue we
hope to be able to say something more
of this distinguished former citizen
of this county He won honor and
fame in his adopted State but always
looked longingly and lovingly to the
State and county of his nativity. He
reflected honor upon both in his adopt
ed home.

There was no slap in the face or

good and sufficient reason for his &C

TIME TO STAND PAT.


Gov. Blease has revoked NUMBER
of commissions OF notaries pubic. we
do not know his reason, but we nope
II is not because they are not political
friends of his, or that some one has
said they do not want commission
signed by him. Things like that are
too small to be taken cognizance OF
bv a governor. If any of these gen
tlemen are so small as to make such
q remark let them be small enough 10
resign their commission. There are
biz things demanding the attention OF
the chief magistrate Of this State at
this time, and there is no use to frltter
away your energy on little politics.
This is a time demanding constructive
manship-Newberry Herald and
News.
The above, taken from The Herald
and News, Newberry, expresses the
sentiment of a large number OF peo-
ple in South Carolina. This is net
tine to stir up strife nor to precipl-
tate such another fight as occurred IN
tho legislature last year. If everyone
would try to do and act the best ne
knows how, without prejudice or with
ont a desire for political effect, the
States best interests would be better
served. However, we see in THIS
matter of the notaries and in the pre-
legislative news stories sent out from
Columbia indications of a stormy ses-
sion The kindling has but to be
lighted to start the fire. 1t seems TO
lis that, in face of the present polltl-
cal situation of the State, it would be
better to put off consideration OF any
question in which there is wide dl-
vergence of opinion. Constructive leg
islation would not be very helpful
under the present administrator
Thus a compulsory education bill, even
if it were passed over the veto OF the
governor, would be but coldly accept
ed and great difficulty would be ex-
perienced in its Observation-Disclosures
Advertiser
In the matter of notaries public we
think it would be we'll for the legisla-
ture to fix the terms of the office. In
others words, we think the governors
position in large measure is correct,
that the term of Office should have
some limit or time fixed. And yet all
do not believe that the governor or any
one else should remove a notary pub
Slc simply because the man holding the
commission was not political or par
tisan supporter of ti:c governor. The".7
are many good men in South Carolina
VINO did not vote for the governor and
yet they should not be debarred hold
ing the Office of notary public. That is
the way we see it.
As 10 the rumors sent ont from Co.
Iumbia as to partisanship in the leg
islature, we sincerely hope it will not
assume the proportions it did in the
last legislature, and yet there may be
absolutely no grounds at all for the
rumors.

After a separation for nearly .
score Of years, during which there
were several romantic features, Miss
Matilda Kass, of Appleton, Wis, and
George Alvord Of 6s4 Henry street,
Camden, Pa, have just been married.
Twenty years ago Avord and Miss
kass were sweethearts in the west.
A difference arose, and they sepsrat-
ed. Some time later Alvord married
another woman and moved to Cam
den. With the couple went Paul
Engum. After a time the boarder
and Mrs. Alyord disappeared and
Alvord awOke one morning to learn
that his wife had divorced him and
had married the boarder.
Recalling his sweetheart Of years
ago, Alyord wrote and found she
was not married. A correspondence
was entered into, with the result that
the two decided TO marry. In the
meantime, Alyord received a letter
from his erstwhile boarder, in which
the latter stated that Alyord's former
wife had divorced Engum. The lat
ter had learned Of Elvord's approach
ing marriage, asked forgiveness, and
sought to act as best man. Arrange
ments were under way to carry out
such program, but Engum was un-
able to come east.

EXPERT IN TREE KNOWLEDGE
"psndroiooist" 10 Title Accorded to
Master Of That Branch Of 3D.
tanieai Science.

Dendrologist is the name applied
to one who is engaged in the study
of tree botany or dendrology, which
is derived from the Greek words
dendron, tree, and logos, discourse, a
treatise on trees. Dendrology may
thus be defined as branch Of botany
that treats of trees, which properly
includes taxonomy, morphology,
anatomy, physiology and geology of
tree species. While dendrology is a
division Of botany, it is far more
specialized and includes knowledge
Of plant life, which is seldom consid-
cred to be part Of systematic
botany One who knows botany in
d general way is not necessarily
forester, but the dendrologist who
has specialized in all phases of the
scientific knowledge Of trees, includ-
ing study of the factors which in
iuence the life and growth of trees in
their natural or adopted habitat, pos
sesses the requisite training of for
ester. A thorough knowledge of the
life history Of trees formed the basis
for all sil'icultural operations which
are. naturally included within the
sphere Of neurological studies. The
word dendrologist originated in Eng
land in the seventeenth century, and
was probably used first by Evelyn in
order to designate definitely the ex-
pert engaged in the study of tree
botany, and dendrOlOgy in order to
designate the work itself,-Scientifc

these two parties would vote
for their own candidates for
whom they will vote in the Nov
ember election rather than mix
up in the Republican primary.
They had their own men to nom
mate so why should they vote
some other ticket? This state
ment is absurd on the face of it.
Today the Repu blican party is
as strong as it ever was in Knox
County and this needs no com
ment. Nomination never did
mean election in any county nor
does it mean that in Knox Coun-
ty now. In years past there
have been boilers to the regular
nominees, but in very few in
stances have they been able to
break into office.
This year the Republican nom.

REPUBLICANS
STRONG
Poll Heavy Vote in Count y
Leaving Bull MOOsers
and Democrats
Far i'm The
Rear.

The Republicans are back in
the fold. The vote at the Pri-
mary election held last Saturday
showed this to be q fact when
they polled more votes than the
Bull Moosers and Democrats
combined. The vote cannot be
exactly known at this time from
the fact that some of the pre-
clncts have not been properly
certified by the election officers,
but from telephone reports Sat
urday night it is almost certain
that the Republican vote will be
more than three times that of
the Progressives and Democrats.
This then will be a hard jolt
to the fusion movement between
the Bull Moosers and the Dem
ocrats, for it was claimed by
them that with the united
strength of the Progressives and
their allies they would Gust
every Republican officer IN the
county and supplant them either
with a Bull Moose or u Demo

they will be able to cut much ice

made in the recent election.
