PUBLIC SENTIMENT MAKERS.

Two visitors in Milwaukee, In at
tendance at a home missionary con-
vention, went on a tour of inspection
of the Schlitz Brewing company's
plant, relates the Union Signal. In
the course of their tour, one Of them
casually inquired of the man who was
escorting them, "Has the work the
women (meaning the w. G. T. w.
have been doing at all affected your
business?" For answer the man
pointed out of the window to a group
Of vacant buildings. See them-not

worked seven days and seven nights

NOURISHMENT IN BEER,

It Is now possible to demonstrate
with mathematical certainty that, SO
far as enriching the blood is con-
cerned, the -four that will lie on the
point of knife affords more nourish-
ment than four measures of the best
Bavarian beer; and that anybody who
drinks measure Of beer daily would
thus imbibe in one year about as
much nourishment as is contained in

owned their homes.
There is fine opportunity now right
here in Newberry to organize such an
association as would help many OF
those Who rent to own their own
homes, and at the same time make q
reasonable rental for the money they
would be willing to put in the enter
prise. 1t does not pay to put money
in homes in NeWberry for rent, and
it would pay the town to encourage the
owning of homes by those who occu-
pied them. And it would pay as an in
vestment to organize some sort of an
association that would help and en-
courage our people who farm to own
their own farms. We would be glad
see some such organization started in
Newberry. Who will take the initiat-
i've?

We notice from the newspapers that
the regents praise DR.. C. Fred Williams
very highly and that everything is in
fine shape at the hospital for the in
sane. We are pleased to know tha.
everything is in such good condition,
but the recommendations are about the
same that have been made for many
years. The legislature gave this year
what has been recommended for some
time.
DR.. Williams is a fine fellow and we
hare no doubt a good physician, but
so far as the recommendation go as
to separate departments for tubercu-
losis and pellagra patients that is what
mas been recommended for several years
and what the old commission was try
ing to accomplish at State Park. The
old commission recommended as we
recollect that a special levy be made
for the development of State Park, and
that the policy of the state be defined,
and that the Improvements that were
of a permanent nature be made at
State Park. That is if the policy of
the state was. eventually to remove the
plant to the country, as was the un-
derstanding when the land in the
country was purchased. Now it seems
that it has been determined to improve
the property in Columbia and large
cmounts are being spent to that end
If that was the purpose of the legisla-
ture, it was a waste of the public
money to buy the land in the country
and spend as much money as has been
spent there.
Possibly the regents are trying to
convince the legislature that the in
crease of salary to the superintendent
promised by the governor should be
made Well, so far as we are con-
cerned, We nave no objection to that,
but the whole thing is wrong and the
governor exceeded his authority when
he agreed to increase the salary. But,
as We have said, DR.. Williams is fine
fellow and personally we like him very
much, but he is no better man for
the place than is DR.. Babcock. And if
the governor could get an alienist for
the place at the salary fixed by law
it seems that he might have secured
some South Carolinian who would have
taken the job.

PAY THE MONEY FOR EDUCATION.

It is understood that several of the
state colleges will ask for appropria-
tions at the approaching term of the
legislature for additional buildings to
accommodate the increasing number of
students who are applying for admis
sion If further state aid is needed
at this time to increase the opportuni
ties for South Carolina boys and girls
to obtain an education, we are heartily
in favor Of the appropriations, even
though additional taxes should have
to be levied.-Laurens Advertiser.
That sounds nice and patriotic, but
while you are willing to do so much
for the education of the three to five
per cent of the boys and girls of the
state, what are you going to do for the
other 50 per cent who can never go
to college in the nature of things?
The state will probably have to make
direct appropriation for the support OF
Clemson, or lend it money, which is the
same thing in effect, and if it does then
it should be made state institution.
We are pleased to see tnat some of the
papers are taking the same position.
Our position is if the state is going
to spend more money for education it
should be spent among the schools in
the rural districts, in the encourage
ment of rural graded schools and high
schools, and thus reach out and nelp
that great body of boys and girls who
can not go to college.

The State had a fine editorial some

The State had a fine editorial some
days ago on the ownership OF homes
by the operatives in the cotton mills
and among other tnings stated that it
would be more beneficial than child
labor laws. We agree with the State
that the ownership of homes by any
people is good for the people and the
community. When a man owns his
own nome he feels more interest in
the community and more like he was a
part Of it. Home ownership of farms
would be a great thing for this coun-
try and ownership Of homes in town
would help to make better town. Blu:
in tthe mill communities there is no
opportunity OF inducement to the op-
eratives to become home owners. The
mills own the home and the rule is
that the one who occupies it is not
permitted to let his family or any of
them work outside the mill.
For the permanency of our institu-
tons and the building of good citi-
zenship we must have more home own
ers. Not only in the mill colonies, but
in the towns and tine rural districts
as we'll.

PASS lLONG T8E SUGGESTION.

at seems to u.s. ''The Medium OF Alb
beyilIe observes, "that now is the op-
FORTUNE time for the farmer wno is
renting land to buy land. 1t is cheaper
now than it will ever be again, after
the war is over, and it is foolish for
a man to continue renting land when it
can be bought at present prices"
The Mediums suggestion, we wish,
might be reprinted in every newspaper
in South Carolina. It's content is alto
gether true. The most serious of all
economic problems in South Carolina
is tenancy.
Between 1890 and 1900 when the
price of cotton was low the increase
in the number of land-owning farmers
was twice as great as it was between
1900 and 1910, when the price of cot
ton was high.
If the depression in land prices
caused by the slump in cotton in 1914
should result in an increase of land
owners Whatever temporary hardship
the low cotton prices brought upon
the people would be more than Offset
The State.
This is a good suggestion and is
worthy passing on. What we need in
this state today is the owning of
homes by the people who occupy them.
The Herald and News has spoken OF
this need almost as often as we have
of the split log drag, and that is to say
that we have mad something to
say of it in almost every issue
that we have printed in the last lew
years. 1t would be a good investment
for the people who have money if they
would encourage the farmer to become
the owner of his own home.
We nave time without number
spoken of the organia ion of real
building and loan association in the
town which would encourage the peo-
pie to become the owners of their own
homes and that would help them to
do so. The trouble with all the build
ing and loan associations that have
been organized in Newberry has been
that too many of those who Joined
went in with the purpose of making
money for themselves. rather than with
tine purpose of encouraging others to
own their own homes, while at the
