We invite the attention of Super
intendent H. w. Schumpert and the
commissioners of public works to an
article which we scopy from the
Greenwood Index-Journal and would
ask if the showing here claimed for
Greenwood is matched in Newberry,
and if not why does it cost US more
here than it costs the Greenwood
people, and if they have heating
rate and a cooking rate for New
berry, and if not why not? And if
they furnish porch lights, and if not
why not? And then about that white
way of which The Herald and News
spoke few issues back. That would
not cost anything for the current,
would it? Our understandings is that
the water rate here is rs cents the
thousand gallons and in Greenwood
Is cents. True in Spartanburg it is
SO cents, but why could not New
berry furnish water as cheap as
Greenwood.
These are not captious questions,
and not asked in the spirit Of criti-
cism, but we feel that Newberry is
as good a town as Greenwood, and
that our superintendent and COM
missioners are as good business men
as the Greenwood officials and as
competent and it seems to US that
the people who own both the light
and power plants should get their
current and water as cheap as
Greenwood, and if not we should be
able to know: why not. That is dll
there is to it.
And but recently, in the face OF
the high cost Of living and the high
cost of labor, Greenwood red iced

First Bale.

The first bale of new cotton, or
rather two bales, was sold in New
berry in Saturday from the farm of
Mr.. A. P. Werts of Silverstreet and
bought by Mr.. Robert McC Holmes
for 80 cents the pound. This is
rather late, but cotton is opening
very rapidly now and it will not be
long before there is a considerable
quantity ready for market. Whether
the farmers will sell at prevailing
prices or not remains to be seen.
The cotton crop has been damaged
considerably in the past two weeks
and the indications now are that the
crop will be short.

MAKING PUPPETS OF US

While the inland communities have

crate blocking of our opportunity to
secure just and equitable freight rates
but we never expected to see it &C
knOwledged in such bold manner as
the Tampa Tribune did it on Monday
after the heading quoted above Here
is the portion of that editorial which
acknowledges the sqeezing process:
Tampa enjoys a water rate for
freight That is, there is a certain
reduction made on shipments to Tam
pa and points few miles around it,
over the rate that those same articles
would pay if coming to Savannah of
Jacksonville, and thence by rail TO
Tampa
But Tampa's water rate is a joke;
and il is because its own business
men have not the interest of the sec
.tiOn at heart as they should have
When few years ago meeting Of
the Florida railroad commission was
held in Jacksonville TO eQualize, or
lower rates to certain portions of
land fought the lowering because il
would hurt the wholesale trade"
That is. Tampa today because of its
water rate can sell goods to Plant
City cheaper than Jacksonville or
Savannah can but to any point in
SOth Florida beyond limit Of some
fifty miles. or less. either Of those
cities can and do ship goods as cheap
as Tampa can.
As we see it this business OF max
ing puppets" was nOn0polized by
Tampa-and the Other basic cities
Of Florida-on the occasion To which
reference is made Oh! Il Is very
plain that the Wholesale people did
not have the interest Of inland sec
tons at heart and II is just as plain
that they were able to carry the en-
tire weight Of their big organization
before the commission.
The matter OF freight rates IS one
Of the most vital we have before Us
and there is just one way to handle
it, Il was the combination and uni

TIE REFUND OF THE COTTON
TAX

Hon. Frank Clark, congressman
from this district is still working for
the restoration Of the cotton tax
wrongfully collected fifty years or
more ago and which amount IS still
lying idle in the United States treas
ury.
A It now seems impossible to find
the rightful claimants. to whom this
tax should De refunded. whether TO
the person or persons who grew the
cotton. to the local retail merchant
who bought it from the grower, the
factor who bought it from the retail
merchant, or the mill operator who
bought it from the factor, il occurs
to Us that it would be a good idea
10 refund it to the several states nam
ed in the bill. viz Florida. Georgia
and South Carolina. and let it De used
in the construction Of good roads.

BIRDS PLENTIFUL;
SEASON OPEN SOON
LOCAL SPORTSMEN ALREADY
PREPARING FOR FIRST
DAY, AUGUST 10

With the opening of the bird season
coming on August Is in Idaho county
and with reports that birds will be
plentiful, local spOrtsmen are overhaul
ing their old smoke wagons for the mi
tial day of the shooting.
Many hunters will try their luck in
the Clearwater section, some will go to
Chapman creek, while others will hunt
in the Salmon river country, making the
trip by automobile. Reports received
during the last few days say birds are
plentiful in the grain fields near the Sal
mon breaks.
Deputy Game Warden Fisher has re-
ceived several complaints of violations
of the game law, but as no information
constituted direct evidence, he has made
no arrests. However, the deputy war
den says he has information which he
expects will lead to the arrest of at least
two alleged offenders within the next
few days.
""There is tendency on the part of
some,' said Mr.. Fisher, "to regard the
game laws too lightly, and it is hoped
the time will come when such persons
will realize that the game laws are just
as important has any others on the
stitute books
