A CORRECTION.
continue good

II
We regret to make errors, but wher
We do we are always pleased to make
the correction. 1t is little difficult
for one man to do the proof reading
and all the other things about coun-
try printing office that fall to the LOT
of an editor without occasionally max
ing an error. In an editorial comment
on licenses by cities in our last issue
we intended to write, as to the license
ordinance of the city, that the city at
torney had told member of the coun-
Gil that it was not necessary in his
opinion to publish the license ordi-
nance. In some way the not was
omitted from the copy and We failed
to catch it in reading the proof, though
any one who read the article could See
from the context that the mot" was
intended to be there We had no in
tention to make the article read as it
was printed or to misquote the city
attorney, and We take pleasure in cor
recting it.
We think the city attorney is mis-
taken, but, as he is the legal adviser
of the city council they will of course
take his opinion. Especially as he is
in accord with their ideas and wishes.
We did not intend to say or be under
stood as saying that the city attorney
had been formally requested by The
council to render an opinion. And We
do not know that he has been asked
for an opinion, or that he has looked
carefully into the question. TIE char
ter says they shall publish, for at
least thirty days in each year, a notice
showing the methods of taxation adopt
ed by them, laying down the rate of
taxation in such notice, and also pre-
scribing the time W.nen the same shall
be payable" Now, it may be that
license tax is not method of taxa
ton" If not, there was no occasion
for council to have published the little
notice giving the time. There is just
as much law to give the rate as the
time. But what council says goes, and
all We tax payers can do is to pay.

MADE Up WITH HANDSHAKES
Lawyer E. $. BIease Makes Eloquent
and Earnest Plea for Peace and
Ends Possible Feud.

Monday afternon and extending into
the night, Magistrate Players court
was crowded to its capacity. The spec
tators listened with wide eyes and
open mouths as the witnesses were ex-
amined and the lawyers played their
highly interesting legal game. Two
well-to-do and highly respected citi-
zens of the county, whose sons had
gotten into trouble with each other
during the Christmas holidays, sat in
the room Damaging charges and
counter charges were made as the trial
progressed. On the magistrates desk
| lay large blue steel revolver whose
ugly looking and frowning muzzle
Sc med to point at the reporter no
matter where he stood in the room.
The ALFRED thing looked capable of
reducing a fort by itself and seemed
to grow larger every time the reporter
looked in it's direction.
The smoke of battle was in the room
some might have thought it was
cigar smoke-and an uneasy feeling
was apparent on almost every face.
Finally, after all the witnesses were
examined the lawyer for one side made
strong plea in defense of the rights
of his client. Then preacher Eugene
S. Blease, counsel for the other side,
took the floor He declared in eloquent
and ringing flights that the parties to
this controversy ought to be ashamed
of themselves for allowing their pas
sions and prejudices to so far lead
them from the sacred paths of friend
ship and neignborly feeling for the
other. He warned the fathers against
the manner in which they were rearing
their sons, and if they did not get to-
gether and stop it that some day one
of those sons would be brought home
wounded and bleeding unto death and
the other would find his son in pris-
oner's dock charged with murder. He
pleaded with them to make peace with
each other then and there, and as he
held up his hand the warring factions
grabbed each other other in friendly
nand clasp and promised to forget the
animosities of the past and to dwell
in peace and neighborly relation with
each other in the future.
To the profound relief Of. the re-
porter, the big, ugly revolver which by
this time had taken on the proportions
of big Krupp seemed to shrink to its
uormal size and disappeared from the
center of the stage. 1t had been in
troduced by one of the parties as eTi-

Talking about that $4,000 the legis-
lature is going to appropriate and
place at the discretion Of the governor
for the enforcement of law, it sug-
gests to US to ask, why is sheriff and
why rural policemen and magistrates
and magistrates constables? If they
are not for the enforcement of law and
order, why are they? So far as New
berry county is concerned We believe
the local officers in the county and
towns can and will enforce the pro-
6ibition law and all others, and do it
better and with less friction than to
have lot a state constables around.
In fact if We are not mistaken, the
grand jury of this county at the re-
cent term of the court commended
Sheriff Blease and his deputies on their
work in the matter of law enforcement.
If we beIie7e in local self government
why not practice it and put it up to
the local officers to have law and law
enforcement.

years, and you will not find near as
many people now who care for drink
as you cid a few years ago. AS public
sentiment grows in favor of law and
II sympathy With it the easier it is to
enforce it. But we suppose it will
be necessary to have some extra help
in some OF the counties, and that extra
help will cos money, and it is just as
wei to make the appropriation for it

Mr.. McLaurin in his report as ware
house commissioner to the legislature
commends the assistance given him by
a number of bankers in this state in
his efforts to help the farmers finance
their cotton, and among the number he
mentions Mr.. B. C. Matthews of the
National Bank of Newberry. 1t is a
proper recognition because it will be
recalled that Mr.. Matthews of the Ma
tional bank was the first banker in
this section to come out and offer
money to the farmer on his ware
house receipt at s per cent interest.

enforcement.

The report of State Warehouse Com
missioner Jno. L. McLaurin is a very
valuable paper and the pity is that al
the people can not read it. 1t con-
tains lot of valuable information
which the people should have, and il
they had, we do not believe there
would be any opposition to the work
he is doing in behalf of the cotton
producer. In fact, We might say has
already done.
In mis- work he has the endorsement
of the federal reserve board and also
the endorsement Of prominent New
York bankers, and there can be little
doubt that it was through his efforts
and the state warehouse plan that the
farmer, and the small farmer, has
been able to get per cent money on
his warehouse receipt on fair valua-
ton for mis- cotton.
And then ne has reduced the insur-
ance on the cotton, and especially OF
cotton stored in the country.
We hope to print in our next issue
a good synopsis of this report.

committee of the house has passed a
resolution not to let the appropriation
bill exceed two million dollars at this

at the last session and lived up to ii

this year. Your new departments are
now going and you will have to KEEP
them moving, and they all require
more money the second year than the
first. The bill this year will be nearer

Fifty thousand dollars it is proposed
o give Governor Manning to use in
his discretion in the enforcement OF
the whiskey law. That's a pretty nice
little sum, and should give him con-
siderable power. NE have never un-
derstood why there should be such
terrible effort to enforce one law and
let others be observed more in the
breach than in the observance. The

of enforcement now than it would have
been, or was, some years ago. Tne

That is very interestingg state
ment which The Herald and News
prints today from ex-Sheriff J. G. Long
of Union. And yet MIR. Manning pro-
claimed the fact that it would mis-
effort to do away with factionalism in
this state.
Well, We knew long ago that that
was all talk and buncombe, and tha:
he was out Heroding Blease in faction
alism, though he did not have the au-
,dacity OF the courage to come out and
proclaim it from the housetop as
Blease did When he blacklists Sheriff
Long he is making a blacklist that will
make a mark. Sheriff Long says he
accepts the challenge and wiz 'try to
entertain him as best l can"
Sheriff Long is one of tne strongest
men in his county, and is well known
throughout the state, and it does seem
that the governor after asking the
Union bar to recommend man for
magistrate and then getting that rec
ommendation and also the endorsement
Of it by the Union county delegation,
would not have let partisan politics
control him in so small a matter as
the appointment of a magistrate, es-
pecially when his slogan has been
away with partisan politics." Sheriff
Long has his war paint on evidently,
and has taken up the challenge thrown
down by the governor and he will like
ly meet the governor at Pmlippi.

Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon. Washington, Virginia-S1.
 The chairmen of both parties claim ed the states, and the advantages seem to be in favor of the Republi- cans in the state of Indiana, Mime sota, Oregon and West Virginia, al though at times Wilson assumed the lead in some of these. In the other states listed as doubtful the Democrats had the advantage, California's 13 votes being especially favorable to the Democratic calculators. The vote in Indiana was very close, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and New Mexico were at times reported to have Wilson major tiles, and. New Hampshire came to the front with slight lead for the Demo cratic ticket.
 In view of these conditions and in dications, Chairman Mccormick conf dently asserted that Wilson would have a total of BOA votes in the cleo toral college. He asserted that the victory is emphasized by the reluc- tance of the enemy to admit defeat and is a complete repudiation of the unfounded claims sent over the coun- try by the Republican National Com mittee."
 The Republicans have not. on the face of the returns, overcome the Democratic majority in Congress. With about 100 congressional districts still to be heard from, the Republicans had made a net gain of eight members in the house, but late returns from New York indicated that two of these might be reversed.
 With net gain of eight. it would leave the house with Democratic majority of seven.
 In the Senate the Democrats show ed losses from New York, New ter sey and Maryland. The indications were they would lose the two sena- tors from Indiana. one from West Vir- ginia. and possibly one each in Ohio, Montana and Arizona. The Demo crats. however, gained three senators from Rhode Island. Delaware and Utah. Conceding all probable Repub- lican gains would give net Republi- can gain of seven in the Senate and leave the Democratic majority at two,

 The Democrats gained at least one seat in Congress in the defeat of James J. Britt, Republican, in North Carolina. In Virginia, the Democrats retained their nine seats and the race in the Ninth District, which is nor mally Republican. is close. Whit P. Martin.

Republican Claims Disputed.

New York-Senator Willard Sauls- bury, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, gave out the following statement:
 The Republicans claim that they will control the United States Senate is absurd. The returns received by us indicate the loss of only two Democratic senators and a gain of four. This does not include the Dem ocratic senator in Indiana, where the result is still in doubt"
 Democratic party leaders insist that control of the house had not been lost and that the Senate certainly would remain Democratic. Republican lead CTS, however. were claiming the house and still hopeful of victory in the Senate.
