elect his friend, naturally he hopes
they will not forget.
Whether Luke wins or not, he ap-
pears to have made a fine getaway
and it may be that he will be ex
tremely hard to catch.
Robert c. Robson, of Milledgeville,
who, with Mrs. Robson, has been the
guest in Atlanta of his brother, c. W.
Robson, talks interestingly of condi-
lions in his immediate vicinity of en-
deavor.
The people in my section" said
Mr.. Robson, ARE only mildly con-
cerned with politics nowadays, but
they are very deeply concerned with
their material affairs, and the pros
poets ahead in Georgia.
THE outlook is that we shall get a
good price for cotton, and that will
mean much to us, of course. There
is a growing disposition among
farmers of my section, however, to
follow the advice of Commissioner of
Agriculture James D. Price and di-
versify their crops more hereafter.
Mr.. Price is exactly right about that
Georgia should raise a very great
deal of the foodstuffs she now buys
from other States every year Geor-
gia could do that with the greatest
ease Not only would this serve to
keep up the price of cotton, but it
would serve to keep down the expense
on the farm
80 far as the political situation
in Georgia is concerned just now, if
there is any discomfort or excite
ment about that in my neighborhood,
do not know it."
The appointment of Irving McIn-
tyre to be Solicitor Of the City Court
Of Thomasville is looked upon gener-
ally as a most happy one.
He is extremely popular among his
home folks. is highly respected by the
bar, and is looked upon as an alto
gether able and competent attorney.
Mcintyre has a great many friends
scattered throughout the State, and
a number Of these already have COM
municated with the Governor, and
congratulated him upon his choice for
this place.
The new Solicitor will take hold of
things at once, as the former Solic-
itor is out, having resigned to run for
Congress.
Talk of opposition to Gordon Lee
in the Seventh" said well-known
Dalton statesman to-day, lis idle,
think.
81 have not heard any serious men
ton of opposition, to be sure, but it
probably would be a sheer waste of
time, to say the most of it, for any
man TO run against Lee now.
THE present Congressman never
was stronger with the people of his
district They know him better as
the years go by, and he gets stronger
every year. Gordon Lee has come to
be one of the leading men in the
OHlleu oldlSS COLSteSS' anu MS us
trict knows that-and certainly no
district in Georgia is served more
conscientiously than his. and no dis
trict gets more by way of national
favors.
Gordon Lee, in my opinion, will
remain in Congress just as long as he
wishes to-at least, he will unless he
makes some bad break somewhere
along the line. and he is not at all
given to that sort of thing"

Governor Slaton, in appointing
Charles L. Davis, of Warm Springs,
as Game Commissioner of Georgia,
has rewarded a faithful, firm, I'M
firing and enthusiastic friend of the
birds, squirrels and fish of the State
Mr.. Davis has been, in season and
out, for years and years, a persistent
advocate of more and more rigid
game laws He has believed this
course to be right because of the
ever growing scarcity of game. and
from a humane point of view, too.
Legislature after Legislature turn
ed a cold ear to his pleadings. He
managed to get bills through one
house only to have them killed in the
other. He worked on and on. how
ever; he never wearied in we'll doing
The result was, as generally is the
case when one stands for the right,
no matter how unpopular 1t may seem
at first, he soon gathered about him
a following that grew from day to
day and from month and year to
month and year, until at last 1t was
sufficiently large to make itself eff
fective in the halls of legislation, and
Davis then saw his cherished ambi-
ton achieved.
He long has desired to be Game
Commissioner of Georgia. Having
plaYed so great a mart IN getting the
game laws fashioned after his de-
sires, he naturally accumulated an
ambition to preside over the whole
shooting match" for a time, IL that
were possible!
And it became possible. moreover,
when Slaton entered the Governor
ship. Davis had been too good
friend of the game to be overlooked.
The Governor, however in making
the change, extended every courtesy
to the retiring Commissioner, against
whom no word of adverse criticism
was uttered. He permitted Mr.. Mer-
Ger to remain in office two months
after the expiration of his term, in
order that he might wind up some pet
projects under way, and which the
Governor approved. Nothing in the
record of the retiring official is found
to be at fault.
The choice of Mr.. Davis is regarded
as very happy. and the Governor has
been congratulated accordingly.

One Of the best things ever given
on such an occasion was the extern

spoke for the Affirmative and made q
strong appeal In behalf Of elua
rights for the fair sex. Rev. Thomp

forceful manner, pointing out The
ideal place for woman, which was e
reign like a queen In her home.
In his closing argument, O'Fallor
said he thought Thompson woult
refer to that "queen business bu'
as for him, he thought In this en-

SILVER WEDDING.

The Rev. J. A. Sigh will, On Thurs
day, January l, 1914, with his wife,
celebrate the twenty-ffth anniversary
of his marriage, at his home in the
city of Columbia. For nearly a half
century Mr.. Sigh served as pastor of
a number of Lutheran churches in the
county of Newberry, and was, during
all the time, the active and beloved
pastor of old st. Pauls He married,
baptized, confirmed and buried hun
dreds of the people of this community.
Il is not given to many men to serve
one congregation as long as Mr.. Sigh
served the people Of St. Pauls. He
is now retired from the active work
of the ministry on account of advanc-
ed years and is living quiet and re-
tired life in the city of Columbia
He is inviting all his friends to meet
with him on this anniversary occas-
ion and those VINO cannot come he
would be pleased to have them write
him a note so that it may be kept as
a souvenir.
1t would be fitting tribute, if all
his former parishioners, at least, would
remember the occasion with a silver
offering, and that offering in the shape
of a silver dollar would be more >ap-
propriate to DR.. Sigh at his time of
life than a fine piece of silverware.
We take the privilege of making this
suggestion for we know sometimes it
is difficult to decide what to get on
occasions like this when we desire
to show our appreciation in some
token of remembrance.
DR.. Sigh was the first school teach
er of the editor of The Herald and
News a good many years ago, and we
have known him intimately and pleas
antly all the years since, and we are
glad that he is able to celebrate his sill
yer wedding at this time, and hope he
may have many more happy anniver-
saries. Away back yonder when he
was a young man and we were a tot
of boy he lived at our fathers home
and taught the school at st. Pauls and
we walked two miles with him every
to school We know it will

ONE WAY.

This is the last issue OF Tne her
a]d and News for the year 1913. We
hone it has been happy and pros
porous year for all of our readers.
And that the year 1914 may bring all
of them that happiness and prosper1-
ty which is lasting.
Let every one learn to play the glad
game and if some one should send
you a pair of crutcnes be glad all the
same because you do not have to use
them.
There are many things that could
and should be done for the betterment
and the upIift and advancement of this
community. Foremost among them
all is that every one should have a
good word for his town and his neiga-
Dor, and his neighbor should include
every citizen of the town. 1t wont
cost a cent to speak good word and
some one has said that it is worth
million dollars. Suppose you try
it. Tou will feel better, and that is
worth a whole lot.

The government is now running a
weekly newspaper, issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. 1t is paying
a great army of experts to write the
papers now in existence and trying
to run along, but some of the coun-
try editors can't possibly handle all
the matter these experts send out.
We receive from two to three and
four letters day. If there were some
way by which the government would
pay the editor little something to
distribute this knowledge which these
experts are paid big salaries to get
up and the railroads are paid to haul,
then it would be put in the hands of
the people and might accomplish some
good That would be cooperation.
Everybody is paid to help educate the
masses but the newspaper, and it is
expected to disseminate the infor-
nation for nothing. The government
will soon be running it's own news
paper and then it can reach the pee
pie.

We notice that township in York
county wants the part of the cost of
maintaining the chain gang given to
that township and then let the gang
work elsewhere. That means, in the
opinion of these good people, that the
chain gang is an expensive luxury.
In many cases this is true. 1t all de-
pends upon the way the chain gang
is worked.
To run the gang all over the county
very little good is accomplished.

State superintendent of education.
Brief remarks-Geo. D. Brown,
county superintendent of education.
In brief the people of this communi-
ty nave made this school in follow
ing manner. Section 1885 C. of Cen
eral School Law reads thus: When
any rural district in South Carolina
shall levy and collect special school
tax Of not less than four (4) mills,
and when a school in such district
employs two certifcated teachers for
a school term Of not less than six
months, and when sucA school has an
enrolment of not fewer than fifty
pupils and an average daily atten-
dance for the session of not fewer
than thirty pupils, it shall be entitled
to receive State aid under the act to
the amount of 5000 per year.
This school has complied with the
law in every respect. Friends of
school gave two acres of land for
building and play grounds. TIE
trustees and friends furnished free the
framing for the building and most of
he work. The county board Of edu
cation furnisAeda a part of money. The
old building and lot were sold and pro
ceeds applied to the new. The Rural
School Improvement association, the
ladies, bought the desks, library, paint
and folding doors.
What has been done at Jolly Street
can be done at many other schools.
Consult the county superintendent Of
education. The school with one teach
er and two (2) mill tax can be enelp-
ed. Come to Jolly Street Friday, get
the school fever, go home and do
something.

We publish an article in another
column from Mr.. W. B. West which it
seems to us is worth the attention
of our farmers. 1t is on the delint-
ing of cotton seed. If his facts are
correct it seems to US they are worth
the attention of farmers and cotton
seed oil men as we'll. The question of
saving the farmer a million and a
quarter dollars a year in the matter
of cotton seed should have the consid-
