Der judgment and honest speech are
so necessary to firmly establish tran
guilty and security"
These words are true and timely
and should be considered carefully
and needed. We should not make any
effort to enact class legislation and
never should appeal to passion and
prejudice be made. We have always
been of the epinian that any man
should be left free to work for whom
he pleased. And if he was not salts
fec with the wage or the conditions
he should 60 and work for someone
else, and should make no effort to
keep any one else from working. In
other words, we do not believe that
strikes can be justified by any condi-
tions. We should be left free to do
as we please in the matter Of work
ing or not for any individual or any
company. When you take any other
position you are interfering with
the freedom and the liberty of the
individual.

At the recent meeting Of the Press
association a resolution was adopted
on the motion of Mr.. c. O. Hearon cf
the Spartanburg Herald to the effect
that the newspapers # tn State SO
back to that good old custom Of ex-
changing papers.
The first of the dalies to come to
this office is the Greenville News and
along with it a nice letter from Edl-
tor Peace saying pleasant things
about the resolution to exchange as
in the old days. And it is pleasure
to US to exchange as we did in the
other days. We did not like this thing
of trading checks or exchanging
checks.

The Local Motion Picture

The filming of the local motion pic
ture has been completed and the neg
ative is now in the hands of the
Craftsmen Film laboratories of New
York city for printing, after which
it will be returned to the Rayon Film
company of this city to be assembled
for the screen. This picture which is
of local pepole and places of interest,
contains scenes of the mayor of our
city, the city council, the city fire
department, the police department:
the chamber of commerce, the XII
wants club, the Boy Scouts, the Girl
Scouts, members of the Moose, some
of our pretty homes, and numbers of
the public buildings that are the pride
of the city.
The film is 1000 feet in length,
which is the standard size of one reel
subjects, and will appear on the
screen for about 16 minutes, thus
giving a graphic story of our city
and people Manager Wells of the
opera house is ever on the alert for
any attraction that be believes will
be beneficial and entertaining to the
patrons of his theatre and he has
gone to the expense Of having this
subject made.
In addition to being Of interest to
the citizens of this city by reason ct
scenes of familiar people and places
in the city, this film was made by
Newberry's own motion picture COM
pany, the Rayon Film company.
Newberry has the proud distinction
of being the only city in this state
to possess an enterprise of this kind.
The Leslie Brothers,, who are the
owners of this company, are also the
official cameramen for Fox News IN
this state and North Carolina.
The dates of exhibition of the local
motion picture at the opera house are
Thursday and Friday, July 10th and
21st. Other features will be shown IN
connection with the local film and all
who attend the shows on these dates
are assured of pleasant evenings
entertainment.

Only about 100 subscribers re-
newed and came on as new during
the first week of the sale and we
were just making a calculation that
it will be impossible to take in all of
them by the 31st of July unless they
come faster, though that is very
good considering the news has not
spread all around in the few days the
sale has been on. We desire to write
at least 1000 receipts during this
big sale and they will have to quicken
the step if we do that. We are sure
the rush will be on in earnest this
week. The Herald and News for one

The state campaign party takes a
rest until the 18th. There has been
no special feature connected with the
campaign up to this time and all the
candidates for governor seem to be
conducting the campaign on high
plane and there has been no abuse
brought into the speeches by any OF
the candidates.
The race for state superintendent
of education has had little spice
injected by Mr. Hope and Mr.. Swear
ingen. Mr.. Hope charges that the
dual plan of adoption of text books
will cost the people of the state a
good sum and Mr.. Swearingen replies
by saying that Mr.. Hope is a book
agent and should not hold the posi-
ton Of state superintendent of edu-
cation unless of course the people
should desire to have book agent.
Mr.. Hope claims that he is making
an honest living and the job of book
representative is an honest one and
he cen see no reason why she should
be barred from the office because
he was doing honest work. We 40
not think that has anything to do with
it or the fitness of either for the po-
sition. Mr.. Swearingen of course is
only one of a board of nine members
who made the adoption of books and
is not alone responsible for the books
adopted. We think, however, the
board should have adopted instead OF
making so many optional adoptioHs.
If you are going to leave it to the
various schools for instance to make
choice between two biographies why
not let each district or each school
select from among dozen. In other
words if the state board is to adopt
It should adopt. That is the way /:
appears to US.

What has become of the sugge:

What has become of the sugges-
ton, which we understood was agree
able to the trustees of Rosemont, to
have a meeting of lot owners and see
five could agree upon some plan by
which the grounds and driveways
might be improved, and the general
appearance of the place made at least
a little better.
Somehow we have an idea that the
people of Newberry would be more
than willing to do something to i'm
prove the appearance of the city of
the dead if some one would take the
lead and permit them to contribute
to that purpose and assure them the
money would be used for improve
ment No one can go over to Rose
mont without feeling that the sa
cred spot is being fearfully neglect
ed. And who is more interested in
the improvement than the folk who
have loved ones buried there. AS
Mr.. Leavell said in an article he
published in the papers short time
ago, it will take money to make the
improvements that should be made.
but we just believe that the people of
New5erry would furnish the money
if they were given the opportunity
and some organized plan were adopt
ed for the raising and the spending
of it. And we understood that Mr..
Leavell and the other trustees were
going to call a meeting of the lot
owners and see if something could
be done. Why wait. 1t seems to US
that the place gets worse and worse
and the driveways are just being
washed into bitches as the rains
come.
All the people are interested in the
keeping of Rosemont and in the max
ing of it a beautiful place. Let US
all get together and do something and
do it now. Why wait.

We are little surprised and dis
appointed at the attitude of Senator
Laney, one of the candidates for
governor. He seems to be Just lit
tie free in the use of ugly epithets.
And he filings them at mere rumors.
He denounced the rumor which he
said he heard that he had ever sup
ported Blease as a dirty lie," and
words to that effect. There was no
use for him to say that. No one
would inquire in this good day who
any one had supported or not sup
ported in the past And besides that
it is by implication at least an insult
to any and all men who ever had
voted for Blease And some just as
true patriots and as good men as
Senator Laney or any other citizen
have voted for Blease. 1t was so un-
called for in him to make any such
insinuations as must follow from
what he is reported as saying, that
we are disappointed.

We are glad to see the policy of
city council to put down permanent
coping along the streets. This is
what should have been done long
ago, and the money spent on temper
ary work would by this time even, if
started a few years ago, have given
US permanent cement copings along
all of the most travelled sidewalks.
Wish they would fix up Nance from
Boundary to Friend. We should be
glad to contribute our mite to that
end. And then it is one of the ave-
nues of entrance to the city from one
of the highways. 1t should be fixed.

there was steam coming from the

be seen hauling supplies Ia the place

Ii was not until armed guards were
posted around the derrick and all
strangers prohibited from coming
close to the supposed well that any
special interest was aroused. Because
of these precautions the report was
circulated that a big flow of oil was
about To be struck The prices of land
leases for some distance around the
derrick went soaring and much eX-
element was created. Then came the
denouement. IL happened that a pro
hibitiOn enforcement officer was pass
ing along near the mysterious well q
few days ago when he saw Il man
come staggering out of the door of

staged AFRAID upon the place. and a
