Nor E. H. AULL, ED[TOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, January 15, 1909. TIUMAN AND ROOSEVELT. The Herald and News has givex a great 'deal of space to P'esiden Roosevelt's charges against Senato Tillman, and to Senator Tillman's re ply. lIt seems to be evident that th4 ,president harbors malice against Mr Tillman, and it will take more thai The charges which he has brought 44 destroy a reputation for sturdy hon estly which 'has during' his term ii the senate been accorded Mr. Tillmam even by his bitterest political enemies It is, however, very much to be re gretted that Mr. Tillman, at his stagi in life, has had even this suspipior east upon him. While we in Soutl Carolina do not believe that Mr. Till man has done anything dishonest, ye a great many regard it as unfortanat( that he should have had any connee tion at all with the transaction it question, under the cireumstanoes. The Herald and News h# sought t< present both sides as fully as pos sible, the matter having created 2 geat amount of interest throughou -he -whole country. Mhere ought #to be a full attend ance at the good roads meeting it Newberry tomorrow. This is one o: the most important questions beforv the people of Newberry county, vi tally affecting directly the interest4 of every citizen of the county. The general assembly has got dowr to work. No date has yet been fixe6 tor the election of a successor t< Chief Justice Pope. It seems to b the gen4ral impression now that thi legislature will promote one of the as soeiate justices, and that an electior will be neessary to fill the vacanq caused by this promotion.
