The city council and the chamber
of commerce should do about uow, if
you will excuse the expression, and
see if it is possible to have any of the
streets along the burned district wid
cned. We tried to get something
like this lone when the fire burned
out the Carolina Manufacturing comu
panly but the opportunity was lost
an( w%-ill be to the detriieiit -not only,
of the town but of the property own
ers of that section. What. is done
nlow must he done qIlickly for re
building will beghi at onve. It will
take organized and concerted effort
to do anything but it is important.
Spare iht shiie irees. 'T'leire is

ENTIRELY MISTAKEN.
A.,propos The lierid's criticism of
the South Carolina weekly press. Edi
tor AuI snieerbi'ly suggests ini his pa
per, 1he Newberry Ierald and News,
that tle edifor of: The llevord he des
iginted to speak at the next mceting
of the Souli Carolina Press associa
tion on Ilie making of' a country
'weekly, iliiniatilg... that The Record's
vditor knows nothini.- thereof'. That
is halderda.h. All 1lie Soith Carolina
wevklies emi. hi1ih this oliev and we
have full opportliunity for copllari
s(onl. As we have thrO1 wii away oIr
so't soap bucket, it is easy to say
lhat Editor Alil is one of tihle sin
ners we had in mind in criticisilg the
shorteomin s of the weekly press. He
-has seise and11l14 edieintion and eim
make tle editorial pa.g or iis paper
rank with the best in the state. We
say this advisedly, beealse lie some
filmes, but too in frequent ly. does it.

You are vintirt4y miistakena. There

'When we begni (lie publication of'
The I leraldi and News, it hadl a cir
euilaition ot' ablout six hiuindr'edt. antd
wveek. W"~e i necased (liat ci rcuiat(ion
to aboiut .1200 whlen (te papher was
imade' twiee a week with four pages.
.1 t gradually grew in circulat hm andic
it was theni made an eight, page pa
per with five columnis to the page,
and later, six columns to the page,
and the cireulation h!as constanmtly
grown until nowv we are printing
2300 cop)ies. This is our experience,
anid if we hind to neglect any dhepart
menit, we wouild neglect (lie editoirial
department and we confess to be oiie
of the sinners to that extent. We
thinik that with this much said, it
can be readily understood why in our
judgment a paper fromn any member
of the association on the subject
would be interesting aid instructive.
We would like to suggest to the
editor of The Record, -ho*ver, that
probably his, as well as other editor
ial utterances, would have much more
helpful influence if they were less
spiteful. A proper criticism can do
no harm, and oftentimes may do a
great deal of good, if made ill polite
and courteous language.
The country paper should have edi
-troial and we always try to have
sonic but it is not the only thing that
goes to make a good and strong colm
try paper.
AS TO SPECIAL COURTS.
