We know DR.. James P. Kinard,
former president of Anderson col
lege, but we never saw the man
whose picture appear above DR..
Kinard's name in the Newberry OBJ

We are inclined to think you have
the. papers mixed up little. The
Observer did print a real picture OF
DR.. Kinard, though it was made some
few years ago and maybe before you
knew him, but it does look like he
looked at that time The one The Her
aid and News printed was not DR..
Kinard and we have said nothing
about it because we did not know and
do not now know who it is. There is

the year when the State Teachers met
in Columbia printed a cut from a re-
cent picture of DR.. Kinard and they
were kind enough to- lend it to 1he

thought was it, and vie took no proof
of it until the paper was put to press
and then it was let it go or miss the
mail and we let 'er go. We have said
nothing about it because ne kept
thinking that We would get the right
cut, but inasmuch as you charge our
contemporary with doing that fol-
which we are responsible We are 60
ing to admit that it was us.

The Anderson Farmers Tribune
has a good deal to say about the
wines served at the State Bar associa-
ton and the Scotch on the boat ride
around the harbor. Now, so far as
We are concerned we don't endorse
the criticism, because as we see it a
bar association in the city of Char
lesion without little wine and
Scotch and so on would be a very
tame affair, but there is some force
in the statement that if few Of us
farmers wanted to have little beer
and only a few bottles of Scotch at a
barbecue somewhere in the country,
why the constables would be right
down on us and Cannon Blease and
his deputies and the rest of them
would be right after seizing it. Now,
really, what's the difference as to the
enforcing of the law? Honest, now,
could all that liquor have been serv-
ed on that boat and all that wine at
the banquet, without some one Tiolat-
ing the law, just as much if We were
to invite a few of our friends to eat
a few cheese and crackers with US,
and we should order barrel of beer
to make the crackers the more pala-
table? 1t may be that dispensation
was granted for this purpose and if
so no doubt we could get one to serve
a little beer at one of our county bar
becues. What's the difference so far
as enforcement of the law is con-
cerned?

GreenYille codnty has fifty eigl

Greenville codnty. has fifty eight
schools that receive State aid. Of
these fifty six are rural graded
schools. The total amount of State
aid going to GreenTille county is $14,
600. Newberry gets aid for seven
schools, a total of sS95,O0. Until
three years ago Newberry got State
aid only for two high schools and the
little amount for building purposes.
Three years ago six rural graded
schools Mere established. The four
mill tax has been. voted in several
other districts but the requirements
for the rural graded school have been
met in only two or three other
schools. We should have several more
rural graded schools. In some of the
districts the children are lacking.

Trinity School.

There are few schools of Newberry
couLty that have made the progress
in the past four years that Trinity
school has. This school is one of the
few two teacher rural schools OF
which our county boasts. 1t was OF
the one-teacher shoe-box type four
years ago but in live community it
is impossible to keep school down
The good people voted on themselves
an extra four mill tax and by this ad-
ditional tax secured, two hundred
dollars from the State. funds.
According. to the school law OF our
State this school was then able to
have an additional teacher and re-
model the building. These people are
to be congratulated on the improve
ment made in the building, which is
now built on a modern style 1t is
we'll equipped with patent desks and
the required number Of lineal feet Of
good blackboards. The good ladies of
the school are now proposing to put
folding doors between the two rooms
and by this addition will be better
fixed to use the school building as
community centre.
There is an enrolment of more
than sixty pupils and We hope this
number will grow larger with each
year.
We had the pleasure of attending
the exercises at this school on last
Friday evening. The program was
as follows:
Pantomine-"Abide With Me-"
Motion song in costume-''Comin'
Thru the Rye"
Motion song in costume-"Yankee
Doodle"
Song-"Juanita."
Address by Col. E. II. Auli.
From the refreshments served on the
grounds, they received a neat little
sum which will be used for improve
ments.

Twist it and turn it as We may, the
greatest issue in politics is, who is
to get the jobs ?"-Yorkville Enquirer.
And after they get the jobs the av-
erage politician has no further use
for you except as you may be needed
to get other jobs. But then there
should be no complaint along that
line for human nature is very selfish
and all of us have more or less of
human nature. The thing for the
voter to do is to vote for the man
who offers who is in the judgment of
the voter the best equipped as to
ability, fitness and character to dis
charge the duties of the Office he is
seeking. There is no use for any Of
us to fall out with our neighbors be-
cause we differ on these questions.

The above was written for an issue
last week but was crowded out. We
see no reason to change the opinion
expressed except to add that we
think if it is necessary to bring the
warehouse proposition before the
people the better plan would be to
have a separate campaign of educa-
ton and let that be the main thing
to be talked at the meeting and the
meetings could be advertised in all
the papers and the people who want
ed to get inofrmation could attend.
1t would be better to have the subject
discussed apart from the political
campaign. And besides We do not see
how the State convention could grant
the request.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-05-12

It would seem that the warehouse
people want a campaign and want 1t
to last a long time at each county
seat. They are asking for an hour
for their representative. He will have
to run for another Office besides lieu
tenant governor for the plan has
been to give that Office only about
iye minutes. WHY not have a ware
house campaign of the State and ap-
Doint separate meetings and let the
commissioner and any others who
might desire to be heard have all the
time they want and as long as the
people will listen. To announce for
any Office has the tendency to make
people believe that it is putting the
warehouse system in politics whether
it is or not. The human kind is more
prone to believe that which is bad
than to believe the good. To strength
en- the system, if it needs Legislative
strengthening, is to get the right men
in the legislature, senate and house.

A JOKE BOOK

The friends Of Governor Manning
or some persons thereunto duly au.
thorized, according to newspaper re-
ports, have gotten out thirty-one
page pamphlet entitled, Some Rea-
sons Why the Governor Should Be
Reelected" We take it for grant
ed that the majority Of the reasons
which occurred to the writer's have
been set forth with more than due
care under the circumstances 81
The little pamphlet, is not entirely
what it purports to be, or if 1t is, It
is more than what it purports to be.
It is a joke book cleverly gotten up
by the authors. Interspersed with
the many imaginary reasons discover
ed as to why the governor and no
body else should be elected, are
a number of good jokes, which TIE
carefully inclined may work out.
much as you look for needle in
hay-stack.
The little book will be of great
use to guests entertaining parties OF
summer visitors. Many pleasant
evenings may be spent in hunting
out the jokes and in eliminating them
in guessing which one of the COVER
nors story writer's got off the partic-
ular Joke found. Prizes may be
awarded to the person finding the
most jokes and guessing who wrote
them.
In these guessing contests, in or
der to give the guessers a start it is
usual to take one of the puzzles to
be solved, solve it for the guessers,
and thus put them on the right track.
In line with this ancient custom we
hazard the guess that Col. nv. w.
Bradley got this one OFF on the gov
ernor: He is "not politician.
Abbeyille Press and Banner.
We have not: had the pleasure OF
receiving copy Of rhis "Joke Book, P"
but we are 5stiil hoping that we may
have that pleasure. We published the
reyiew of it that the Columbia cor
respondent of the News and Courier
sent to that paper. If it affords the
pleasure and the amusement during
the summer that the Press and Ban
ner suggests, it may repay for the
time and labor expended On it.
Col. Bradley is not alone in get
ting of the aphorism that "he is not
a politician" If We are not mistaken
our local contemporary said some
thing about the same, or words to
that effect.
We hope our friend, Caldwell of the
News and Courier, will send US a
copy of the "Joke Book" We are a
little short on Jokes that are fresh.

An E1hilaratinu Bath.

MANY doctors are now discarding
the stronger alcohol in ordering baths,
says the Farm and Fireside. and are
prescribing the more agreeable bay
rum. which Is made in Japan from the
distillation Of rum ard the leaves Of
the bayberry tree. If you want n
pleasant, exhilarating bath use this

For bathing the sick it seems to have
a longer and more stimulating aud
tonic effect than whisky or alcohol
