We are printing what is known as
the Ladd bill now before the senate
of the United States. At the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Keitt and ne requests to
ask all readers of this paper to file
this copy away, or at least the sec
ton containing this bill. It deals with
the monetary system of this c3un-
try and Mr.. Keitt says is now the big
issue before the people. There was
a conference in Washington a few
days ago which was attended by Mr..
Keitt and notice of which was printed
in this paper, and there is proposed to
organize an association in each cour-
ty that will have for its purpose the
education of the people on this ques-
ton of money. We have promised 70
print synopsis Of the conference pro
ceedings in Washington and hope to
begin in the next issue to do so. We
do not know much about the monetary
question, and Go no. propose to un-
dertake to discuss it, but we are here
to give the information on al live
subjects.

This issue concludes another vel
ume of The Herald and News, and this
editor has helped to write each and
every volume since March, 1887, and
some of them before that time. We
have had many hard struggles and 1t
seems that the struggles are not yet
over. Through the help and coopera-
ton of the good peor,e cf this COM
munity we have managed to keep
struggling, and hope that the battle
will go on for many years yet. Moth
ing can be accomplished worth while
without effort, and the greater the
effort the stronger you become.
We extend to our big family and
all of our readers every where the
greetings of the season and wish for
them all the happiness and the sue
cess they deserve. And may the
coming year be one of great blessing
to all of them. To make it so you
must keep struggling and fighting the
battle with courage and fortitude and
you will gain strength by the effort.

The Anderson papers and the An
derson people are still discussing the
building of a hotel and a park. Both
mighty good things and something
that every city should have. A good
hotel is one of the biggest assets for
any city. And good park or play
ground for the children both young
and old is also mighty good thing.
Newberry now has two good hotels
and she needs park. We have talked
about a park for many years, and
once or twice came very near secur-
ing one. 1t is coming. The longer we
wait the harder it will be to get the
most desirable location for park,
but we will have to take the best
available when we really make up
our minds that we need park. When
ever the people really make up their
minds that we need and want park,
it will come. The people can do any
thing they make up their minds to
do.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"YAN

w HILE the genesis of the
w term yankee" as applied
by the English to Americans In
general, by Southerners TO those
residing In the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders,
is shrouded In the mists of
colonial antiquity, there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks OF truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted OF these, is that the
word Is corruption OF the
French Anglals or English"
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days OF
the colonies. History states that
"Yengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either OF the word
"Anglals" or English" and It
Is easy to see how this, in turn,
could have become transmitted
into Yankee"
Another explanation, a trlhe
more scholarly, is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankie" meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
"Jankin," which was the dlminu-
tive of Jan or John. One au-
thor'ty goes so far as 10 declare
that "Jankin" was the generic
name applied 20 the English set
tiers OF Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers of New York.
The first known use OF the
term In print occurred In a
poem entitled Oppression"
published in 1865, In which ap-
peared the line "From meanness
first the Portsmouth Yankee
rose" The coupling OF the
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear TO bear out the
contention that the term was
one applied principally to New
Englanders and therefore orig
inally of Dutch origin.

BRAVERY.

A Ill bravery is not In death,
"A However glad and glorious
To breathe the gases toxic breath,
Among the clouds a bird to be,
Or TO go gown within the sea-
Oh. II is brave to battle thus,
And yet not all of bravery.
There Is some bravery In life
That never wins the worlds
applause
There is no thrill In daily strife
To set our pulses leaplng high.
Yet braver men may live than
die, .
May suffer more In some good cause
Than they who now In slumber
lie.
All bravery is merely this:
To live or die, as fate demands,
But living. dying, never miss
The duty Conscience makes SO
plain:
To know the right, the right
maintain.
Although 1t lose us life or lands
And pay no recompense but
pain.
To face old Death amid mems cheers,
Yea. that Is bravery indeed.
But to fight on through losing years.
Some unencouraged task to do.

In public smile, In secret bleed,
May God not count this
