We notice that there is PROPOSE
ton before the legislature to do away
with the county chain gangs and work
them on the state roads. Why not at
the same time do away with the State
farms and work those that are in the
penitentiary on the state roads. That
was our proposition several years
ago. AS to the county gangs there is
question whether they are worth to
the roads what they cost the county to
maintain. If all the convicts in the
counties and in the penitentiary were
put on some State roads under the
proper supervision and direction of a
competent engineer it would not take
so long to build a couple of roads
across the State and then we would
have an example of what is meant by
the permanent roads about which so
much is being said. With State aid
and federal government aid roads
should be built in a hurry and there
should be some roads made that would
be worth while.

DOCTOR HAS ISOLATED
INFLUENZA GERM

Chicago. Jan. 24.-Dr. Earl c.
Carr, senior grade lieutenant in
charge Of the main laboratory at the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station,
has isolated the influenza germ, he
announced today.
''It is the real influenza bacillus
discovered by Pfeffer in England" I"
Dr. Carr said,
Il took the sputum from person
near death from influenza, washed it
in a salt solution, plated it on blood
media, picked out the influenza bacil-
lus colonies and transferred them to
a separate media. There can be no
doubt about it.
''The bacillus is very small-about
one-fourth the size of the tuberculo~
sis bacillus-it is nonmotiie and
grows in clunps. The presence OF
t:.:s bacillus makes people just as sick
as they were last year ard in my
cp;aio-. the death rate per thousand
caees is as lliGh. There are not, how
ever, as many cases as there were last
year"

ABOUT CONVENTIONS.

The Greenwood Index-Journal de-
plores the fact that it should be neces-
sary for the legislature to consider
even the passage of an act to pro-
hibit smoking in dining rooms, and
comments that if we continue to
break down convention after conven-
tion that by and by it will not be
necessary to observe any at all.
/ There are many of the old conven-
tions, besides that of smoking in
places like the one mentioned, that
have been shattered and all you have
to cd is to look around and you can
see them even if you are nearsighted.
That is those who have grown old
enough to have lived under the old
days when men and women had more
regard for the civilities of life than
prevail in this day.
It is largely due to the trend Of
things in this age, and mainly, as we
believe, the idea which seems to have
taken hold of some Of the socalled
reformers that you had to regulate
everything by act of the legislature.
And then in our opinion our sys-
tenn Of teaching in the school and the
home has been in large measure re-
sponsible for much of the reckless dis
regard of the conventions, and it is
, not good for the elevation of the race
! or for the civilization Of the age.
The young American thinks it is
all right and the proper courtesy,
that is if he thinks at all, to puff a
cigarette in your parlor or in the
presence of ladies or anywhere else
he may happen to be. In the old
days of chivalry a gentleman would
consider it great breach of the civil
tiles to smoke at all in the presence
of the ladies. Much Of this disre-
gard Of the civilities, however, is due
to the women themselves. They not
only tolerate but they encourage it.
The line Of demarkation which once
existed very distinctly between the
gentleman and the rowdy or rufian
has been almost entirely obliterated.
And it is not well. We need to
teach it in our schools and our col
leges and to pratice it in our homes.
The truth is the great American
home which has been our basis of
power and of strength in the past is
fast passing into decay, and some
thing is needed to be done to re-
habilitate it if we are to maintain our
proves as nation.
Many Of the changes of this age
of many changes may be for the bet
ter, but many Of them do not make
for a better citizenship or a more
virtuous womanhood, and these are
the things that really count when you
come to make up the jewels Of the
nation.

for the community welfare: unless he
can see dividends coming right back
to him, is not worth anything to the
community or to the age in which
he lives. He is a sort Of parasite or
Ieech on the community sucking all
the juice and fruit out for his own
selfish purposes. We need right now
in Newberry some community spirit
which will show itself in some COM
munitY building.

may go and lounge and rest. Why
bless. your sesl=we: have=been trying
to have such a house in NewberIy for
many years, and We have now rest.
! ing place for the ladies Of the town
| and the country that has been great
: blessing to many tired mothers who
! had to come to town and who had of
course to bring along the children.
! Such place has been the hobby.
; or one of them, of The Herald and
News for many years. Even before
the present rest room was started We
were constantly talking about it. And
now we have time and again men,
toned the fact that we had better op-
portunity than most towns of this
size to have q real community house.
For that reason we have been and
we are still a persistent advocate of
retaining the old court house building
and of making of it real community
; house. It would take lots Of money
/: in this day of high prices to build
such building, and then it is so CEN
trally located and SO convenient to
all the business places that it is ideal
for community house.
The town and the county should
jointly take hold Of the matter and
make a real community house out Of
it, by putting in proper heating sys-
tenn and making a few extra repairs
and take the rear part where the rest
room now is and the other rooms
across the rear and make a public
library of them, and then use the two
front rooms for lounging rooms, one
for the women and one for the men,
and the upstairs for community hall
for all sorts Of meetings by the far
mers or by the citizens, and by hav-
ing the building heated it would al
ways be ready for the meeting. It
is too valuable building and could
be made to serve too good a purpose
/ to let go and not repair it for these
purposes. It would cost little to put
! it in proper shape but not near so
! much as to put up new building, and
, then it would be difficult to find
location so we'll adapted for this pur-
pose.
; Some of our community builders
should take hold of the matter and
get busy and have something done
right now We need it. The town
needs it and the county needs it. Few
towns are SO fortunate as to have so
nice building which could so easily
be turned into the uses Of conven-
lent community building and yet we
stand still and do nothing. 1t is
amazing TO US at times how little in
terest our successful business men
and leaders in all lines seem to take
in matters Of this character. They
mean much for any community Ike
Newberry.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1920-01-27

Another thing that this town needs
along this lire and that should have
the attention of the community build
ers is a community house of little
different type, and that is an apart
ment house where people who desire
to do light housekeeping could rent
flats or apartments at q. reasonable
rental, and where young men could
secure rooms and board before they
are ready to take up real housekeep-
ing on their own account.
Such a building should be in the
center of an entire square so that
there might be playground room for
the children who for the time might
belong to the families renting the
apartments, and it should not be too
far out of town. And then some one
to run first class restaurant in
connection with the house so that the
roomers or renters if they desired
could secure their meals right on the
premises. And we say not so far out
so that those who were in town and
those who lived in town and desired
might go and get meals when it was
not convenient to have cooking done
at their home.
Many people now are endeavoring
to get rooms to do light housekeeping,
and to get rooms in which to live and
who take their meals out. Such
house should be fitted up with all the
! modern conveniences, and then we
should have gas plant for use of
those who desired to do light house
keeping. There is no better location
for such building than the Nc
Clintock place which we believe was
recently purchased by Sheriff Elease.
1t is close in and yet it is quiet and
removed from the busy hustle and is
on high place and has an entire
! square.
Mr.. Henry Parr is builder, and
we would like to see him get busy
and organize company to erect just
such building, and this lot should
be secured before it is cut up into
smaller lots and sold off. Such a
building might not pay big dividends
right back to the investor, but indi-
Irectly in benefits to the town and to
the people it would be a good invest
ment for the people who have proper
ty in Newberry if it never paid cent
in direct dividend The community
builder is not the one who looks al
ways for big direct dividend on
every cent that he puts cat. End

FARMING PROGRAM.

The meeting on the boil weevil
situation that was held here last
Thursday, and the program laid down
by the experts for the farmers of
this section to follow in the present
situation, is just what The Herald
and News has been preaching for
thirty years and more, and we Of
course give hearty endorsement to the
program. Boil weevil or no boil
weevil the farmer of this section who
makes all he needs for the farm on
the farm is the farmer who is going
to succeed at farming. Of course you
may point to rare exceptions where
a farmer makes all cotton and makes
money, but it is the exception and not
the rule. And that is in plain Eng
lish the program that the experts on
the boil weevil laid down for the far
mers at the meeting last Thursday. 1t
is the same doctrine that Henry
Grady preached in his famous Boston
speech in 1888, when he said:
: when every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures and
disturbed by no creditor, and enslav-
ed by no debt, shall sit amid his teem-
ing gardens, and orchards, and vine
yards, and dairies, and barnyards,
pitching his crops in his own wisdom
and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean surplus, and
selling it in his own time, and in his
chosen market. and not at masters
bidding-getting his pay in cash and
not in receipted mortgage that dis
charges his debt, but does not restore
his freedom-then shall be breaking
the fullness of our day"
We are glad to see that the experts
are distributing this excerpt from
Grady's great speech in the carrying
out of the programs for their meet
ings. 1t is the only true doctrine and
the practice of it is the only true way
for the farmer of the South to reach
his independence. And more so now
than ever because of the high cost
CT everything and the uncertainty
and unreliableness Of the cotton
labor. And the high cost of living
will never be lowered until there is
more production of the things that
go into the cost of living. High
wages and shorter hours can not do
anything but cause the high cost of
living to go even higher than it is
now.
The solution for the cotton farmer
is simple, it is easy, it is the same old
problem that could have been solved
long ago and that has been solved
by mary of our farmers and that will
have to be solved by others whether
they will it or not. The boil weevil
may force them to the sane solution,
and which they should have tried long
ago.
1t does not need an expert to solve
it but may be the farmer will listen
and heed an expert when he would
nav No attention to the advice Of the
home folks, but this very same doc
trine has been preached constantly IN
this county for many years, and Will
be preached for the years to come so
long as the present editor is permitted
70 hold the reins at the helm of The
Herald and News, but we are glad to
have the experts to give such fUIi
and complete and hearty endorse
n1ent to our doctrine.
