HOUSES ARE A r
Large Number Of People Here Now
Desiring Houses.

The shortage of rentable houses in
Greenwood is growing serious and is
forcing rent prices out of reach. There
is at present a large numbe of people
in the city who would rent houses if
they could get them. Efforts have
been exerted for several weeks past
to secure houses for the managers and
others connected with. the Churchill
Milton Lumber Co., which c is
er4ting a large mill here, with very
little success. 1r,F
1t would not be q bad idea for the
moneyed men of the city to build rent
able houses, especially some that
would rent for from fifteen to twenty
five dollars q month. Such houses
are in great demand. .,,.s
A nice apartment house, modern,
with all c~onveniences, would be a
good investment for some one with
surplus money. Such apartments
would rent for more than a small
house and would net greater returns.
Who will be the first one to try it.

A Fine Record.

.tMr. w. H. Hardeman has umpired
the base ball games in Newberry for
the college team for the past ten con-
secutive years and in all that time
has never had kick as to his deci-
sions. This is a fine record. Presi-
dent Harms says he doubts if there
is another such record in the State.
The umpire's job is not a pleasant
one at best, but to have record suca
as this for so long time is a, high
compliment to the fairness and JUS
tice and impartiality of Mr.. Harde-
man, and to his good judgment and
knowledge of the game as we'll.

Please do not forget to heed our
sllnpIe statement. We shall be very
sorry indeed to part with any of our
subscribers, but if we do not hear
from you by the first of July and the
date on your label is further in ar
rears than the year 1915, We shall be
forced to take your name from our
mailing list. The payment Of only
one dollar, even if it does not pay
you up, will retain you On the list.
tAe are not yet going to the strictly
cash in advance system, though we
know that is the proper plan, but un-
der all the circumstances We have not
decided to do that just yet, but we
csnrot afford to accumulate big ar
learage list such as we once had. We
know this is bad time of the year
in this section to collect money but
we feel that if you really want The
Herald and News you can raise one
dollar, or if you cannot spare it you
can send us a post card or call at the
Office and request that the paper be
continued and you will pay some time
soon. We are going to give you a
real newspaper and not partisan
paper, and during this campaign year
we are sure you will want just such
a paper and for that reason we are
going to bear with those who are in
arrears if they will just show that
they desire US to do so. But we must
'economize in white paper and not
send the paper to Cnose VINO 40 not
intend to pay for it. Or those who
do not want it. 1t is not our purpose
to worry you about this, but simply
to deal squarely and fairly with you
and take you sufficiently into our con-
fdence to say that it takes a lot OF
money to buy white paper and to pay
the other expenses Of printing the
paper and if those who read it do not
care for it why we do not care to go
to the expense and trouble Of sending
it. Remember it is only two weeks
until the first.

We notice that. most of the sand
and dirt that city council had hauled
in the streets to fill up the holes and
make it smooth has washed back into
SCOTS creek or some other place.
That is not so bad, however, because
it will give employment to haul ii
back again. A few haulings, of course,
would pretty near/pay for making a
permanent street but then we might
run out of work if all the streets
were paved.

HGOV. MANNING AND CHARLES
TON"

Far be it from us to say aught
about the way Gov. Manning runs
things in Charleston. Runs" We be
lieve is the correct word, for accord
ing to the Charleston papers the gov
ernor's word has been law there for
some time. For this reason it is
little strange that the iron thumb
should be lifted just at this time. The
governor will "allow the Charleston
authorities to enforce law and OR
DER" it is stated, on the eve of this
very interesting campaign. From the
way they did this in the past we have
our own ideas as to how they will do
this, in the future Somebody ought
to feel kindly, in Charleston, about
this concession from the governor.
Elsewhere in the State there may be
different ideas.
From all developments there may
not be as many, believers in the latest
slogan from Charleston as heretofore.
This runs:
Manning is bad,
Cooper is worse,
Vote for Blease-safety First. t.
Greenwood Index.
Don't you say somewhere else in
the same paper: "a vote is vote and
the man, who can get the most of
them is the man we must look to to
turn the trick" Maybe the governor
has caught On and then maybe the
sheriff of Charleston is interested in
the matter.
Fact is, all of them are out for the
votes. 1t is votes they want. Your
are right, the man who gets the votes
turns the trick.
