The publication of the articles by
Mr.. a. H. Kohn on the Dutch Fork
have been little irregular, partly be.
cause Mr.. Konn did not want them to
come too close together so as to give
him time to get them up, and partly
because We have had a supply Of leg
islative and other stuff that seemed
to crowd them out We are begin
ming their publication again and we
desire to state that after they appear
in The Herald and News they will be
revised and published in pamphlet
form. If any who may see this desire
a copy of the pamphlet please send
name and address to Mr.. A. H. Kohn,
Columbia S. C.
These are very interesting articles
and are worth preserving and they
can be had in no other way than by
keeping copp of The Herald and
News or securing a copy of the
pamphlet. Only limited number Of
copies of the pamphlet will be
printed.

We notice from the News and Cour-
ier that DR.. Olin Sawyer of
Georgetown will prabably enter the
race for governor. DR.. sayyer is a
fine gentleman and has had large ex-
perience in public life, having served
in the legislature for several terms
from Georgetown county and is now
mayor of the city of Georgetown. He
is a fine speaker and one of the quick
est at repartee in the Stats and would
make vigorous campaign should he
9ec;de to enter. He has been aligned
with the Blease faction, if you are
ready to term it faction or to recog-
nize factions in this State at all, but
he is broad-minded and liberal in his
views and would be governor of all
the people in the event Of his cleo
tlon. If he should enter-ne would add
zest to the campaign.

How about Newberry? Is there any
one here who is interested in reviving
a chamber of commerce? We heard a
gentleman say the other day-and he
is very fond of Newberry and the New
berry people-tnat Newberry was the
best dead town in the world. 1t is a
good town and has good people and a
good county and surrounding country,
but lacks the spirit of cooperation in
business way. We have been hoping
that with the revival of business
our people would see the advantage OF
getting together and working together
for the advancement of the community
commercially and that we would get
the spirit of cooperation and learn
that it pays to pull together.

We have not heard anything recent
ly about better fire alarm system
for Newberry. There should be some
thing done about this. The alarm
should be so that the fremen could
hear it, at least. If we had a paid de-
partment it would make very little DIFF
ference. because it would be better to
have only the fremen attend a fire,
but as it is the firemen themselvs can
not hear the alarm. And when fire
alarm system is installed it should
give the alarm so that any citizen
might be able to locate the community
in which the fire is.

trying days and days of bitter fac
tionalism
We were the correspondent at New
berry for the paper for the first year
and did a good deal of special work
for it in Columbia and at other places.
We remember that at the session of
the legislature following its establish
ment in the fall of 1892 we reported
The senate for the paper, and it was
no easy job. The factional lines were
so clearly drawn that reporter for
the State was given no privileges at
all, the otner faction being in the ma
jority, and the hatred so strong that
even the clerk of the senate would
not give us any information, or any
access to the papers, and what we
cot had 10 be taken as it was present
ed. Some of the politicians of the
otner faction would not even touch
the paper. So they said, but they
were accused Of reading it when they
could get off where no one would see
them.
We remember that the then COVER
nor, B. R. Tillman, would not let The
State have an advance copy Of his
message, as IS customary with all
governors. We remember, also, very
distinctly rnat the night Of the day
that the message was presented that
the editor of The State, N. G. Con
zales, came into the Office about II
o'clock an the proof sheets of the
message were on his desk. He had
not seen them until at that hour. He
read the message over and wrote a
three column review Of it which ap-
peare in the paper the next morning
and the best review of it that was
printed in any paper in the State. And
the paper came out on time. And it
must be remembered tll6s this was be-
fore the time of type setting machines,
when all the composition was by hand.
But there have been few, if any, equals
of n. G. Gongales as an editorial writ
er. We think he could put more in
few words and put it more strongly
than any editor that we have known
since we have been connected with the
press Of this State Many times we
did not agree with him, but we al
ways read what he wrote. His was
strong and a trenchant pen. He was
a partisan. as he frequently told us,
his partisanship frequently carrying
him to extremes as We saw it. but he
was hard and a fearless fighter.

ture (S92), that the dispensary law

CHANGES IN RULES
FOR BASKET BALL

Cleveland, o., Feb. 5.-George
Hepbron, representing the Amateur
Athletic Union, and authority on
basketball rules, here on a speaking
trip to basketball coaches and play
ers, said today he is considering a
suggestion for change in the rules
of the game made to him by Karl
Kist, local Y. M. c. A. physical d.
rector. Kist favors dropping the pres
ent method of tossing up the ball to
the centers at the opening of the
game and after each field goal. He
would substitute tossing the ball in
from the side lines. just as Is done
when It goes out of bounds.
This. ne says, would do away with
the advantage which tall center
gives to team. and would permit a
team to consist OF five all-around
athletics rather than four experts
and one "string beam"
