NEWS AND HERALD WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK FOOSHE Editor and Proprietor. PUBLISHED WEEKLY TEEMS, IN ADvANCE: One Year,......................... .50 Six Months.......................... .75 Wednesday, Feb. 7. 1906. The Morgan bill with the Sanders amendment has passed the house of representatives by a vote of 63 to 47 and will be the issue before the senatA this week. The passage of this bill means the downfall of the state dis pensary. It provides for local option for each county as to the dispensary or prohibition and gives Charleston the opportunty to decide whether it will have high license or not. Its passage is a distinct triumph for the cause of prohibition and local self-rule. Elsewhere is published a call for a meeting of the ladies of the town for the purpose of organiz ing a civic league. This is a most commendable undertaking, one in full line with progress and one that is deserving of the very great-, est success. The ladies are to b3 commended for their interest in the matter and it is to be sin cerely hoped that in this most laudable move all the ladies in the community will enter with heart and soul. A cleaner town is greatly needed and that is what we will surely have if the ladies are behind the movement. Compulsory education has again lost in the legislature, but there is still growing a more favorable sentiment for tne cause of edu eating the masses that will make it only a question of time tlll it will finally come through all r-ght. South Carolina cannot afford to hold such a low place in the mat ter of literacy and the demands for a more intelligent citizenship are multiplying on every hand. The prejudices that exist to this measure because of its apparent curtailing of the rights of parents and of the supposed advantages it will give the negro race as com pared with the white must go down in the light of more hgnit. Nothing will do more to break down these barriers than making the very best advantages of the present educational facilities. Let no effort be spared for the up building of the schools and the furthering of the cause of educa tion. This is the great hope of our State for better things indus trially and otherwise. In another column is published an appeal from a committee of the Libraiy Association to the citizens of Winnsboro to give financial backing in a special movement at this time to greatly increase the efficiency of the library. The appeal is strongly put and ought to be met with a hearty response. The contribu tion of the amount asked for at this time would insure the library being put on such a firm basis that it would be a permanent in stitution in the future. The in crease in books that would be made possible would mean an increase in members, all of which would go to making the continu ance of the libras easier than it is at present with its limited facilities. Let every one become a member and let every one give just as much in addition as is possible. The amount can be given in monthly or quarterly installments and in this way it will be easy for all to lend a help ing hand to the movement. The offer of $100 by a citizen of the community on the conditions named in the appeal will not be continued after March 1, and so it is necessary for there to be prompt action. With all pulling together now the library can be made a permanent institution, which will be the pride of the town. By all means let it be had. Blythewood Briefs.

Sold by all deolm The Winnsboro Public Library. Five years ago, the Winnsboro ?ublic Library Association was ormed. In that time the library ias grown from about one dozen olumes, which were bought on ,redit, and let out at three cents i day each until they were paid or, to the present library which ::ontains more than five hundred volumes. These books were paid For by means of membership ees, and some were contributed by geLerous friends of the Asso ciation. In addition to the books a number of the best magazines have been taken and read by the members. The membership has grown, from about fifteen at the begin ning, to about one hundred.. The records show that during the year 1905 the number of volumes read has averaged more than 200 per month. The above facts show that the library meets a need that exists in our commu nity, and demonstrates too that our people are interested in and appreciate the public library. It ancourages the Association also to reach out for better equip ment, so that this "people's uni versity", as it has been appro priately called, may b6 of larger benefit to the community. The Association, however, has now come to a crisis in its history, and that crisis is the reason for this statement to the people of Winnsboro. For the most part, during these years, the library has been housed and cared for by The News and Herald through the kindness of its editor. The change of location of The News and Herald into new quarters has necessitated the closing of the library temporarily. It must get new quarters and look forward to increase and enlargement, and this necessarily means increased expense. To supply a nice home for the library, the 'salary of a librerian, and to provide new books, calls for more money. The membership fees, which are one doll'ir a year per mem ber, will not meet the increased expense. Help must come from some other source. For this pur pose, the Association appeals to all our people for this public and benevolent institution. At a meeting of the Associa tion, held on the evening of Jan uary 31st, one of our ptblic spirited citizens headed a sub scription list with $100, to be paid as the Association demands, on condition that the community raise four hundred dollars in cash or bona fide subscriptions, to be paid monthly or quarterly during 1906; that this sum of $500 be expended wholly for books and equipments; provided, further, that the town council contribute $100 for providing suitable rooms, and that there be one hundred members at one dol lar each, and that the member ship fees be expended for the employment of a librarian, and paying other incidental expenses, the membership fees not to be included in the $4C0 asked for from the c )mmunity. The Asso ciation accepted this proposition and appointed a committee to wait on the people and ask for this contribution of $400 from the public. The above is a recital of the facts in the case, and this is our appeal to the community. If our effort meets with success the Association will be able to be of larger benefit to our town, and can do its beneficent work on broader and better lines. It is a public cause that appe'als to us and to our children. We ask and expect a hearty response from atll the people to our appeaI. Within the next fe days tij& committee will c ell on you& 101 your subscriptione. GJive 1! cai your hearty intere.st anid support. C. E. McDojalat. For Commiittee. A Pdinred Onestion. Mr. Editor-Will you kind' give me information~ ;bout the in dk. tedness of Fairfield county? On whose authority is it in debt, and what have we to show for said indebtedness?~ I know some of the county funds went for buy ing road machinery, som~e of-whichb I am told is about as useless as it well could be ? I a'so know we have about the worst roads in the State. Surely somebody is responsible for the present state of affairs. As the editor of the only paper published in the county, I call 2pon you to enlighten the people. A Taxpayer. "Taxpayer" asks a very poiis :ed question as to Fairfield's in lebtedness, one that will have to Lwait the investigation of the~ ~ommission to be appointed in ~onformity to the provisions of he ioint resolution introduced by airfield's delegation in tbe gen ra! assembly. Its investigation hould be so thorough that there here can be no further doubt as! o how come th~ings to be as they ,re.-Editor.] IONEY TO LEND-on real, esate. A. S & WV. D. Douglas, An Additional Provision. In last week's issue of The News and Herald was printed a C< :opy of the bill providing for thejw issuance of bonds for payment of, Fairfield's indebtedness. While I the copy sent us did not contain' L it, the bill have already been re- C vised so as to make more definite i the manner of conducting said c election. The additional provis ion is as follows: "And provided further, That eaid election shall be held on said' date in the manner and under the e rules governing general elections in this State, at which election the question of bond issue shall be submitted to said electors as I follows: There shall be two sets of tickets on one' of which shall be printed, "For Bond Issue," and on the other, "Against Bond Is sue," and if the majority of the ballots be for bond issue, then said bonds shall be issued as pro vided in this Act, and if a majo: ity of the ballots cast be against bond issue, then said bonds shall not be issued." Buckhead Briefs. After the rain, sleet and wind of last week, how welcome is the beautiful sunshine! The roads are something terrible, in places irhpassable for any vehicle except a wagon. The farmers are busy hauling fertilizers from Blairs,-and how the mules have to tug and strain to get through the mud, almost up to the hub. I hear constant complaint of the scarcity of labor. Very few farmers have as many hands as they need, and some have none at all. I hear the quarry at Strother has been abandoned, and it is to be hoped some of the hands who were employed there will now re turn to the farms. It seems to be the fashion with the young ne groes to seek employment on the railroads and other public works, : and the older ones prefer renting to hiring to the land-owner. Miss Annie Lyles, who for a year past has been employed as stenographer, in Georgia, is on a visit to her father, Mr. B. E. Lyles. Miss Clara Fee and Mr. Will iam Crowder were married in North Carolina last week. Many wishes for their happiness and prosperity are expressed for them by their numerous friends. Letters from our old friend, W. Hopkins James, brings the newsI of his marriage in Memphis, Ten nessee, to Miss Bessie Whitehead of that city. The Rock Creek congregation regret very much to give up Rev. J. IR. Funderbark, who served this church so acceptably for the last two years, but hope to se cure a pastor and open their doors again in the spring. What has become of the sub scription to erect a monument to the memory of that noble woman, Mrs. C. ~Ladd? I hoped that Miss Florence Wilkes would meet a ready response in her efforts, especially from the old Confed erates, whose friend. Mrs. Ladd has always been. Almost to the last day of her life she talked of the "boys in gray." When con versing with her of those stirring times 1 often wished that I had been a stenographer, that I might preserve her experience for future generations. How disappointing it was that old Fairfield held on to the dis pensary, and wives and mothers must see their husbands and sons debauched with vile whiskey from the G. M. I. and the blind tigers, with no redress. Oh, how long will this be the case! "God give us men; a time like this de mnands Great he~arts, true faith, stirring minds and willing hands; Full menc, .sun crowned, who live above th licog apnl.ie du/.y anid private thinking ;" patriots who will dare to do the gilt, and delier our State from I bi- sale cf the whiskey derhon, aid x'ho will exailt righteousness< that we many eam God's blessing M iss lb .eking t(n, despite the; bad we:'L r, is getting along j nicely waih the Broad River' school.
