NEWSAND HERALD 1 WINNSBORO, S. C.t J. FRANK FOOSHE Editor and Proprietor. PUBLISHED WEEKLY TREEMS, IN ADVANCE: Oie Year...............-$1-- - Six Months................... .75 Wednesday, April 4, 1906. Special attention is called to the corn contest published in another column. We certainly hope that there will be some Fairfield farmers to enter the same and that it will prove a stimulus to the growing of this very necessary crop. Let every farmer make all his corn at home. Several Fairfield farmers have said that they are going to try the Williamson plan of growing corn. Certainly any plan, by which s 'armer can make fifty bushels of corn to the acre, is well worthy of trial. There is need for the application of more intelligence in the planting of this important crop. At least give the plan a trial and be sure at the same time that some of the best land is put in corn and that enough is planted so that under favorable circumstances there may be raised all the corn necessary for the farm. Tillman's dispensary manifesto has at last been given to the public. There is nothing new in it except the discovery of a new political ring in Columbia. There is the same old appeal to factionalism and the same old defense of the dispensary law because it was rightly sired. There is the same old appeal for its maintenance for the mon ey there is in it and the same old cry about the dispensary's de feat in the fifteen counties in which it was voted out was not the will of the democracy. It is still the G. I. A. (the great I am) and G. M. I., father and son, one and inseparable. For a Commercial Club. The meeting called for Thurs day evening for the organization of a commercial club in Winns boro was but poorly attended on account of the very rainy weath er. But on the part of those present there was manifested decided interest in the movement. Mr. L. T. Baker was chosen as' chairman of the meeting and Mr. C. W. McCants as secretary. A committea, consisting of Messrs. W. W. Dixon, G. B. Mc Master and Dr. C. 8. Pixley, was appointed on constitution and by-laws. Messrs. L. T. Baker, T. H. Ketchin and E. C. Gwalt uey were appoited a committee to furnish the public with full information as to the purposes of the organization, and their stat. ment is presented below. Invitations were extended to Messrs. I. T. Nichols of Chester and J. G. Anderson of Rock Hill, who have had much to do with similar organizations in their respective towns, to be present at the meeting at the town hall this evening at 8 o'clock. Both Messrs. Anderson and Nichols have promised to be at the meeting in the town hall this evening and they will present s o m e interesting information showing the value of organized effort to a town. Every business man in Winnsboro should be present to lend a helping hand in this effort to push Winnsboro. CoMMITTEE's sTATEMENT. Several of our fellow-citizens, moved by confidence in the re sources and possibilities of Winns boro, and believing that these can be utilized and strengthened by unanimity of purpose and action, have united in an organi zation that is to work for the welfare of Winnsboro. This organization is known as a Commercial Club. Similar clubs are largely responsible for the growth and prosperity of the best cities in the State. Through their agency internal improve ments have been perfected, the advantages offered by their towns for investment and enterprise have been widely exploited, and opportunities have been promptly seized, while their slower neigh bors, without a wide-awake or ganization ready for prompt and united action, were devising ways and means to enter their claims. The social benefits of these clubs are also worthy of consid eration. In order to work to gether with the harmony and spirit requisite for the success of any undertaking, men must nin gle and cultivate geod fellowship during the hours of recreation. For this a club affords an excel lent opportunity. But compared with its more serious aims this feature is only secondary. The club rolls are now open to all who are willing to work ,and there will be enough to engage ( every citizen who joins-and mens business. The books of mubscription will remain open for wo weeks, If you are a chronic -roaker, if you are satisfied with ;erving yourself and not inter-1 3sted in the common welfare of Four town, or if you are seeking, >nly a comfortablA and conve venient place for loafing and port, you are asked to keep out; but if you believe in your town, if you are willing to give some of your time and money to help it and yourself, if you are seeking an opportunity to work for the good of Winnsboro, you are cor dially invited to join the Com mercial Club. T. H. Ketchin, E. C. Gwaltney. L. T. Baker, Committee on Information. Badly riixed. Printers and proof readers are not infallibe and so various kinds of errors often get into a paper. Some of these are ab solutely absnrd. One that be longs under this head occurred in these columns last week n that excellent suggestion to the Daughters that they provide en tertainment for the veterans in the homes on the night before Memorial Day. In the sentence "these living exponents of the sentiments for the maintenance of which our fathers and moth ers too struggled with so much sacrifice and devotion", the word "comfort" took the place of "sac rifice." Certainly there is no circumstance nuder which this mixing of the two words could be more unpardonable than in speaking of the service these heroes and heroines rendered their beloved Southland, unless it be that,forgetting their phys intl sufferings, we think only of the comfort that must have been theirs from q. consciousness of duty done. Of couise, all understood this was a typographical error. How ever, in connection with the a bove suggestion, Mr. J. B. Bur ley seconds the same by volun teering to entertain six of the old veterans. At this rate there will be no trouble about enter nertainment being provided for all and that most gladly. Jenkinsville Jottings. Misses Queenie and Bettie Swygert visited the capital last week. Mrs. J. B. Hughey of Green wood and little girl are visiting her sisters, Mesdames W. D. Davis, T. J. Rabb and B. H. Yarborough. Dr. J. D. McMeekin of Winns boro and Mrs. G. W.

Dear Sir: Why, do you think, 0an Devoe sell pure paint as low is others sell adulterated paint? There are 30 or 40 or 50 differ ent makers of paint, that rank, in a way, as "first-class;" they have their regions; one's region is large; another's is small; every one is "first-class" in its region. Of these 30 or 40 or 50, one is best, anothei' next, and so on down; but the prices are all the same or about the same-you can buy one for less than another though, a personal matter some times. But how, do you think, can Devoe sell the best for no more than the rest? The answer is: it costs less to sell it; more to make, less to sell; Repulation helps sell it. Its 150 years help sell it. Go by the same. Yours truly 81 F W DEvoE & Co John H. McMaster & Co. sells our paint. - The connecting LI nk. "Books are the voices of the dead.
