In union there IS strength, and no
one can live TO himself alone even in
business, and continue to grow and
develop But if those most vitality in
terested are satisfied why should any
one complain. The Herald and News
does not complain, but it is always
panied to see people throw away op-
portunities when it would cost them so
little to grasp and use them to their
own advantage, even if some other fell
low did reap little advantage. But
maybe everything will come to him
who waits, provided he labor while
he waits. While other communities
are expanding and charging the use
fulness of chambers Of commerce, and
raising money for the development of
the community, Newberry disbands.
Poor old Newberry, we are sorry for
you. Maybe your time will come N
the sweet by and by.
The Herald and News has always
had visions and hope and faith, but
all of these are receiving severe
shocks every day. Little cliques, lit
tie jealousies, little selfshness, little
narrowness, little spites, little little
ness, these are the things that will
keep any community from getting to-
gether and keeping pace with the
march Of progress. If the people who
own the town are satisfied, The Her
aid and News does not complain,
though we hate to see such things be.
We had better wake up and face the
situation squarely and take notice. We
are not moving forward, and we can
not stand still.
Just think of it. A city with three
large and prosperous cotton mills,
with fine schools and iourishing
churches, with a fine farming section
to back it, under the shadow Of one
of the best institutions of learning in
the State, displaying such narrowness
in taking the backward step to dis
band commercial organization, while
other communities of similar size are
raising thousands of dollars to keep
alive such organizations. We are say
ing to the world we are out of touch
with you, we are living to ourselves
alone, and each one for himself, and
devil take the hindmost. Is that what
this disbandment means? Where are
the live men of the community? Are
they all dead? We await a reply.

Before claiming credit for >2e es-
tablishment of an agricultu ii collegs
in South Carolina, Dr. Daniel should
read up On the history of the III We
ment that led to its establishment
The establishment Of III agricultural
ce llege was Senator Tillmah's pet
scheme when he entered politics.
Olangeburg Times an Democ> at.
The time at which Dr.. Daniel says
Fe suggested the establishment OF AL
agricultural college was several years
before Senator Tillman began his agi-
tation and letter writing and before
he was known to fame. We are in
clined to believe the statement Of DR.
Daniel. He has no axe to grind and
nothing to gain by making statement
that was not true, and besides he
wouldn't do it anyway. AS to the his
tory of the State, including the move
ment to establish an agricultural col
lege, there is no one in South Caro-
lima better posted than DR.. Daniel.

sjons
The revocation OF The commissions,
the governor announces, is to date
from January u next
The reason given for the removal
of the commissioners If deeds, who
form a considerable portion Of the
commercial-lega machinery of the
State, is that many of them have lost
their commissions, and that others
have not carried out their duties in
a manner satisfactory to those hav-
ing business with them. The com
missioners of deeds are possibly the
most numerous class with which they
governor has yet taken action. They
are residents of foreign countries who
have taken out commissions and who
perform legal services, such as reg
istering deeds, for property in South
Carolina.
The governor announces that any
who may wish reappointment may
secure commissions on the indor:e-
'ment of the governor of the State or
the American consul of the foreign
country, where they live. This must
be accompanied by Information as to
color, asfe and qualifications.

ARE THE LIVE MEN DEAD?

A meeting of the chamber of com
merce was called for last Friday night
in the rooms of the chamber. The
membership has very materially de-
creased during the past year, and very
little interest has been taken in the
organization, and after some discus
sion it was decided to disband and
sell the furniture
No one seemed to be able to ex-
plain just why an organization of this
character, which should mean so much
Hor the advancement and growth and
development of the community, could
not prosper. but the fact remained
Nhat the business men of the commu-
nifty will not cooperate in an effort to
heep the organization together. and
nothing was left but to disband.
1t is a great pity that the business
men of Newberry will not get togeth-
ar and endeaVor to do something for
the general welfare, but the stubborn
fact remains that they will not. They
are a pretty clever set SIS whole and
individually, but they seem to have a
distorted vision or to be near-sighted
or marrow or selfish, or all Of these
in business matters, and the conmu-
Rity suffers, and they as individuals
likewise suffer, but you can't make
them see it, and as they are the ones
who suffer the most it must be a case
of where it is folly to be wise when
ignorance 10 bliss.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

I The Herald and News presents to-
day the full text of Gov. ~Bleaseis an
nual message to- the legislature. 1t IS
a strong and conservative paper and
contains many good suggestions and
recommendations There is nothing
radical in the document. Now and
then it contains a few little personal
filings which, from oNr way of looking
at it, it would have been better to
have left out of State paper OF this
character, but we all have different
ways of viewing things.
We do not agree with all of the rec
concentrations, but most of them are
timely and should receive the consid-
Grafton of the general assembly.
We do not think it would be wise to
put the election of judges in the prl-
mary or the general election, though
we recognize there is strong sentl-
;nent in the State in favor of it. We
know it is popular to talk about the
people" and the ''rule of the people,
and all that sort of thing, but when
YOU come to think of the proposition
seriously and soberly there IS, a lot
of rot in this sort of talk, and the
people do not care so much after all
of electing judges. The legislature
may not always act as it should In
the selection of judges, but our gov
ernment is not a pure democracy, but
Ia representative government, and
those chosen to make the laws should
be in better position to select wisely
the men who are fitted to sit on the
bench than the average voter, and this
T is said with no disaparagement to the
average voter. Then you are not 60
ing to get the best fitted men for the
| judiciary to go into an election to Sc
cure the position. 1t is fact, with
no reflection on those who have filled
the position, that the ablest lawyers
have not sought the attorney general
ship
| The recommendation to require
newspaper reporters to write the truth
is very good, but will be little diff
fcult to enforce. There is little doubt
that many of them are just a little
careless in the matter of their facts,
and sometimes, unfortunately, in
printing only a portion Of the truth
really give an entirely wrong impress
sion Of the facts as they exist, and yet
if you make lying crime you will
have a. lot of criminals. We have al
ways believed that anything that was
worth printing at all was worth print
ing accurately, and that accuracy
should be one of the first lessons
learned by any newspaper reporter.
There is no doubt that the average
reporter is sometimes very reckless
in the handling Of the facts.
The abolition of the hosiery mill is
again advocated, and in this The Her
aid and News joins and has already
given its reasons in detail

NEW INCOME TAX
STARTS AT $4,000
Elaborate Provision for 6radu-
ated Payment System in
New Tariff Bill.

Washington. ID. C.-Included in the
Democratic tariff revision bill Ia an
income tax section. which would re
duire every resident of the United
States who earns more than $4,000 a
year to pay a tax OF ! per cent. on
his earnings In excess of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $4,000 TO pay tax,
but It would demand that one who
earned $i,1O0. for example. pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax of per cent. on 800. or 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes. adding n surtax OF |
per cent. additional on earnings In ex-
cess OF 100000: 2 per cent additional
on earnings in excess of $4,000. and
per cent. additional on earnings In ex-
cess of 100000
How Surtax Would Be Imposed.
Under the surtax provisions the man
who earns $4,000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate Of
per cent. on $4,000 $4,000 exempt.
or s16O. If he earns $780, 900 ne would
pay per cent. on $4,000. and per
cent. on $4,000. making his annual
tax $3.50. The person with a $4,000
income would pay 1 per cent on sf6.-
00C and 2 per cent. on $30,O00-a total
tax of $3.50. The man with an income
| of $1,000 would be required to pay
per cent. on $4,000. 2 per cent. on
| $50, 900, and 3 per cent. on $4,000,
which wouI be $500. bringing his
! total income tax TO $3.50. Anyone
| with net 2ncome OF a million
would pay this $2260 on his first
/ 800 900 and In addition he would pay
4 per cent. on 100000. which would
bring his total tax to S3S .260.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
per cent tax on the earnings of
| corporations, stock companies. insur-
ance companies and the like, nut II
would exempt partnerships. This Is
fiat tax. there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present corpo
