Talking about the old court house
building and it's use, We are going to
quote from an editorial in The Her
aid and News of June 19, 1908. We
have said that The Herald and News
Daade a fight to keep the building, for
the purposes that are now being talk
ed about, as far back as eight years
ago. And we are with the promoters
of the scheme today, and will help
them all that is in our pawer, but the
matter is no new idea for, US. Here
is what we. said them
There are those who think that
the, old court house. should be torn
down so as to give more room for a
wagon yard; there are those wSo
baink If the court house is torn down
q park should be provided in the pub:
s&c square and the wagon yard re.
moved.
There is no question in our mind
as to what should be done, but OF
course we will be willing to abide BY
whatever majority Of the white peo.
ME of this county think and say or
Che subject In any event the wagon
yard should be removed from the puD-
lie square and If the old court house
ID torn down park should be pro-
vided. We are of the opinion, how
ever. that Newberry now has an op-
Rortunity to provide good: library
and comfortable rooms for our friends
from the country at very little e1-
pense. While the court house belongs
to the people of the county we are
satisfied that. the people of the coun-
sty will favor retaining it, for this pur-
pose" .iaS Js
We were not only trying to get rest
srooms provided, but also a library for
the county. And if not then a park.
So the park idea was strong with Us
then.
What We need now is for every on.e
to get together and help to accomplish
results. A fine county library and
rest rooms and a good auditorium and
no cost to go to for the building. 1t
is here and a fine old building it is.
A little money to fit it up and q
fund to maintain it and all at. little
cost. Why should it not be? 1t can
be.

We printed only four page paper
on Friday. There were one or two
who complained. 1t is our purpose
to print an eight page paper, but if
we have a falling off in advertise
ments we will print at times four
page paper. 1t will be our purpose
to regulate the size to sui! the mater
We have to print. We could have
used to advantage in the last issue
two more pages, but to have added
four more we would have lost money
on it. AS it was all the advertise

the white paper used. 1t shall be
our purpose not to ell up with long
articles that the people have already
read, and with pot metal. but to give
a live local paper covering as thor

make an, interesting eand readable
paper. But we are not going to waste
white paper just for the purpose of
making a Lot of pages. Sometimes
we have printed sixteen pages and
on one occasion we believe it was
"a pages in one issue, and We made
no extra charge from our subscribers
for that extra amount of reading mat
ter. 1t will average up all right.
