NHAT2 WHEN?

Talking about roads, and you know
that is one of my many hobbies, 1 had
another trip to Columbia the other
day, and from Little Mountain to
Spring Hill I went by Capers Chapel
and came back in the road at Spring
Hill. The distance this way is about
the same as by Chaplin, and the road
at the present time is much better,
and with a little work could be made
a most excellent road. You avoid
those big hills between Little Noun,
tain and Chaplin. And then this road
goes through fine section of country
and it is thickly settled all the way
If the people of Chaplin will not dc
anything to improve the Lexington
end of the Piedmont highway maybe
the people along this other roao
might be induced to do some hell
along the line of making it a part
Of the main highway. What does MI.
Jim Addy think of the proposition
I would like to hear from him and
the other good people along the way.

COOPERATION-A GOOD WORD

Cooperation is a good word. we
have used it and tried SO hard to I'M
press it's Importance for so many
years that we are always glad to see
any one or any community using It.,
1t is the only way for a community
to -cocperation-all pulling to-
gether and working together for the
good of the entire community and Kay
ing aside personal and selfish con-
siderations except as they may come
in with the rest of the community.
We are publishing the report of the
meeting at Fairfax where the boil
veyil situation was discussed, be-
cause, among other things, the main
idea of the community and the plan
to destroy and meet the boil weevil
was by cooperation, and the spirit OF
cooperation was manifest in the meet
ing The banker and the farmer and
the merchant and all the others CO.
operating for the general welfare. II
the boil weevil will make the peo-
pie see the good and the necessity OF
pulling together and not each maa
with his hand at his brothers throat
for his own self-aggrandizement the
weevil may not be such a terrible
evil after all. Read the proceedings

WE ARE SORRY.

From time to time during the past
several months we have received no.
tees from the business Offices of some
OF the smaller big dallies in the State
that they would be forced to with
draw the courtesies which have been
extended of exchanging with us, and
that if We wanted their paper they
would make US special rate, and #
they found that they wanted The Her
aid and News they would send the
money for the subscription. Some of
these papers we have been reading
ever since they were born, and We
shall be sorry to miss their visits.
None os the real big dailies of the
State have as yet sent US any such
notice.
1t seems to us that these papers
overlook one thing. OF course, We
suppose in sense, it is not exactly
q fair exchange to give twice-a-week
paper for daily paper, but such has
been the custom so long that it has
almost come to be considered a fair
exchange. If it was before the in
crease in the price of print paper, it
certainly is more so since the in
crease. The price of print paper to
the little country weekly has increas-
ed at much more rapid gate than the
price to the daily. Where the price
OF roll paper has increased fifty per
cent the price to the country weekly
for his paper has increased about two
hundred per cent. So if it was a fair
exchange of courtesies before, GER
tainly it should not be cut O., Y on
account of the increase in the price
of the print paper.
We remember some years ago, in a
conversation with one of the biggest,
and, in our opinion, one of the greal
est editors in this State, he said that
he got more out of the country week
lies to help him in his work as edi-
tor of the daily than he got from any
other source, and that he always read
them very closely, and everything
down to the country correspondence.
That in this way better than in any
other was he able to keep in close
touch with the feelings and sentiments
and desires and thoughts of the great
mass of the people who are really
the backbone of the whole structure
of our civic government, and that by
getting this he was the better able to
edit his paper And he was great
editor. He wanted to feel the pulse
of the people. In other words he
wanted to get as close as he could to
the people. 1t is a fact, on our opin-
ion, that too many of our leaders,
as We call them, live too far away
from the people, and among these
leaders are the editors Of our daily
papers.
We mention this not to change the
views Of any of the business mana
gers Of the dailies in question, but to
justify the value of the country pa
per to the city editor as compared with
the value of the city paper to the
country editor. We know that We are
no good business manager, and yet
some how we have managed to keep
agoing, but we never did know how
to keep money. And if these small
dailies shall cut us off, as some one
\ or two have already done, We shall
be sorry, but we can't help it, and
We will cut them off, and when We
want, real bad to see something they
are saying We will try to raise nickle
and buy copy just to keep familiar
with the looks Of the sheet.

to have learned of the work of these
Baptists. l have managed to get
few snaps at them and have heard
Just a little of the reports and the
talks. l had the pleasure of hearing
just a little of the report of the boaro
of education. I was very much III
terested in one section of that reporl.
1t was recommended that instead of
trying to raise big endowments for
the colleges of the denomination that
the schools be put in the "budget'
Just as was missions and the other
operations of the church. That the
endowment of these schools be laio
upon the hearts of the members of the
church and that instead of paying
big sums of money for an endowment
that the people keep the money ana
pay the interest themselves to the
schools each year. In that way IL
was argued it would bring the schools
nearer and dearer to the hearts OIL
the people. The idea is correct one
and one that We suggested years ago
as to our own Newberry college. The
schools of the church, denominational
if you so desire to call them, or the
Christian colleges, are the leaveh
which is to save the citizenship OIL
the State and this is said with moth
ing but the kindliest feeling for the
State institutions. But in my opinion
the tendency is too much to educate
away from that foundation which
must be the corner stone which is tu
save the building of the State. And the
enthusiasm with which that PROPOSE
ton was accepted showed that the
brethren meant to bring their schools
closer to the people. That is what We
want to do in this democratic coun-
try of ours. The Christian citizen
ship of this country is to be fostereu
and saved through the Christian cor
leges of the country and if the time
ever should come when the peopie
fail to support these institutions il
will be a sad day for the State ana
the country. The action Of the Con-
vention on this important proposition
augurs well for the future.

lature to do something to prevent II.
1t is just like l heard the Rev. MT.
Grain. the mountain preacher, say, the
passing of resolutions and the making
of bie speeches will not accomplish
the results, and he was not discussing
anv action of the convention, but was
talking generally. You have TO ge'
down 10 the people and find out W'ha;
they are thinking about and wlia.
their sentiments are, and then yoa
must show them the right way, but
in order to do so you have to get down
among them and understand them
and not stand afar off and make high
sounding speeches and pass resolu-
tions. And neither can you do it by
passing laws by the legislature. You
can't have any influence by asking
that laws be passed to punish man
for making or selling liquor and then
turn around and buy it from him. Hs
won't have much faith in your Sill
cerety or your manhood or your hon
esty. Sincerely and honesty and frank
ness are the things to practice when
you deal with the people if you want
what you say to have influence. Ana
YOU want to do what you preach.

THE BAPTIST STATE CONVEN.
TI0N.

1t was two years ago that the peo-
pie of Newberry had the pleasure OF
entertaining the Baptist women Of the
State in convention assembled. 1t
was an aspiration and blessing to
have so many consecrated women So
journ with US for week and the good
influences they set in motion will &c
on doing good for years to come.
This week we have the honor of hay-
ing. the Baptist men in convention
with US planning AMI working for the
uplift and betterment Of mankind.
They represent a hundred and fifty
thousand Baptists in the State OF
South Carolina. Think of the great
work they can and are doing for the
hetterment of the human race. And
what even greater work they coulo
do if there were perfect cooperation
and every one doing his part and car
rying his share of the burden.

veloped n tie between Danny Mcmahon.
former champion OF the club. and w. b.
Ogden. one OF the veteran squad. Each
missed only nine out OF possible 100
targets. In a shooton Ogden took the

not a single straight break was recorded
