This is a fine section of Newberry! county. The lands are productive and the crops this year are good and the farmers are prospering and they are interested in the midst of the prosperity in the development of their schools. The Rutherford school district is cue of the first in the State, and I belive certainly the first in Newberry, to establish a special district and levy a special tax for the running of the1 school. It was taught in those days by Prof. Thos. W. Keitt for several years. And the people had a good; school. It is just ten miles from Newberry j to the school house. According to my j prortiisc in response to a very cor- j dial invitation J drove out on Friday! * "" nritVi thp npnnle! ana sptmi au uuui n ivu x? . who were present. I asked my friend J and leighbor, J. R. Davidson, to go! with me and my mascot, and he was j ? glfkl of the opportunity for it was; within a mile of his boyhood home and j am;d the scenes of his youth. Yet he said ir going along that the whole country had changed and that now there were very few people living in that section that were there when hej left I, does not take long for these j changes to take place. i / j My friend, J. D. Nance, bad promis-: ed.to have a couple of birds on toast j for me when I came, but he forgot, about it and says he will bring them I some time during the season. He is game warden for the county, you, know, and keeps the laws enforced right to the letter, but tempers justice with mercy, and, therefore, I. reckon he will be permitted to bring' me the two birds. Well, it made very j little difference for the good ladies | of the community had come with their j --3. j! baskets and a table baa been maae auu there was a dinner spread that was fit for the gods. Fried chicken, baked pork, country sausage a la old country style, and pies and cakes j galore. Really I did not expect din-i ner to be served and I went to see! what the community was doing and to give it what encouragement I could by j my presence and through The Herald | and News. Yet, don't misunderstand me, the dinner was good and I showed my appreciation. Practically all of the schools of the surrounding and immediate territory had booths and exhibits and with the short notice they had and the time given to them they were exceedingly creditable. Besides the Rutherford school there were exhibits from Zion, Mt. Pleasant, St. Phillips, Mc' Crary, and Pressly by W. H. Folk, the school not making an exhibit, but Mr. Folk, trustee, decided that the school -1 1 ^ arrrJ spnt a VSrV J5ilUUiU?vUC ICJHtOVUVVlI uuu ? nice exhibit. There were all sorts of fancy work from the schools and lots of preserves and iellies and cake and everything that you could think of that is good to eat and some of the finest looking hams you ever saw. And I know they are good for I -have tried some of the hams from the homes from which, these came. There were chickens and rabbits and pigs and cows and home raised colts, mules and horses, and as you entered the grounds the first thing you saw were several fine 'possums clinging to the limbs of the trees. Then there was the community spirit which was manifest, and as I have before remarked, that is the greatest benefit at the present time to be derived from these community fairs, it is the development of the community spirit, that feeling which makes one take a just and entnusiastic interest in his own community and is willing to cooperate with his neighbors in making it the very best community anywhere to be found. And that is what the community fair is doing. There were no monetary prizes to be awarded, but the judges examined the different booths and the exhibits "? * ? ?

The Herald and I News, as well as myself, is always1 ready and willing and anxious to help | in the development of the rural school J and the rural community and esnec- j '-11? ?n ?+ Vic/ionao I lany nuw tctA.cs <t yuuc iu tb uv.v,uuuv the people are beginning to do what we have preached for so many years. And it is a pleasure to live to see some of our dreams realized and the people doing Just what we told them years ago. Not only is this true as to the rural school and the fann. bnt many other tilings are happening which we advocated which at the time were anv thought, was gfren io them by others. ~Of course w qre -"o-vt pf thjs connection!, but that does not take away the pleasure we get by seeing the tilings done. The road down to the Rutherford school is one of the best In the county and I want once more to urge tfie people to use the drag as soon as the rains come because just a little work of that kind at the right time will make this a good road all winter and it will cost but little time and labor and no outlay of money and would nav even if it did. E. K. A. ???^SOME SHOP TALK. We stated some time ago that our force was small, and if the advertisers would give us the copy for the ads in advance of the day of publication we could handle them with greater ease and more efficiently. Some of them have done so, but we know it is difficult to get out of the old habits, and generally the copy for ads comes in the day of publication. We do the best with it we can but it generally makes us late in going to press and difficult at tiroes to make the mails. Especially is that true now since our mailing list has been so materially in- i creased. lAnd then w3 never know i just how to arrange the forms so as 1 to care properly for the copy that should go, and at the same time take care of the ads. With, the large in- j crease in the circulation- we have to go to press with the first side so much I sooner in order to get it off the press for the last side, it being necessary with our press to print one side at the time. We like to accommodate j our patrons and we like to please them : and we want to handle all the ads we j can because we need them to make ex-' penses. We mention this in this connection to explain the holding over frequently of matter that should appear in the paper and frequently the leaving out of ads that should run. For the last issue for instance we had a good deal of real live news matter in type that we should have printed and would! I v,,*. a.jlo QTirl if cr?TTlP Of UUl IUI bug uuu W?u .. ?J, these ads had come in sooner we could have arranged the first side so as to; have carried more live matter. When we came to the office on Thursday morning it looked that we were noti going to have a page of ads but by j the tirriP wp. went to nress we had; more than we could liandle and nearly two eoiumns were crowded out. We don't like to do this, but we are due; the subscriber a certain amount of i news matter. j And then it entails more or less ofj rush to 'handle the matter and that! means more or less of mistakes. For I instance we had an ad of "Cooper's! original spring needle underwear"! which was meant to have the name of J. H. Summer and Company under! it as the dealers in .NewDerry out no name appeared. But for the rush! we could have handled this in the' proper manner and we take this meth-! od of saying that this underwear is ! sold in .Newberry by J. H. Summer and; Company and if you are interested we! invite you to visit their big clothing1 store on the corner where you will receive the best and most courteous! attention. This ad was furnished in ample time. The bank statements had to be n?w j died and we had to run two of them " ? +T>? flwesf as well as a laiia saitr uu liiU u?vv page and had to do it by taking out live news matter. As stated we are only talking this shop here to assure our patrons that we apreciate their business and! ?~ Tra or?n u-ffh it and Will UU IUC UCJI .. that a little cooperation on their part would be of great assistance to us No. t>994 Report of the Condition of the Pe the State of South Carolina, at the < | RES01 Loans and discounts (notes held in 1 t Overdrafts, ..unsecured U.

We are in receipt of : an invitation to attend from our friend, j Prof. W. A. Stuckey. vVe would like j very much to visit Bishopville ouce i more and regret that we cannot set' : away this week. Once upon a tim- ' i Newberry county had some of the best ' county fairs ever held. That was a . ' long time ago. Only a short time ago ! there were a few people in the ccun j ty wiio wanieu 10 ruu*c mc agnaLiuu for u county fair, it would be a. good , thing to do. We have had recently , J two mighty fine fairs at the school j houses of the county. ^ I We want once more to say to the j i rnnn? ladv contestants in the contest: V now going on in the circulation de- j; ! partment of The Herald and News that j we would much rather have you col- < | lect from the fellows W'ho are on the j list and who owe than to get new subi scribers. The list of new ones is already long enough. If our advertising friends and customers bought cir- ( culation instead of space it would be ? well to have circulation, but as a rule the Newberry merchant buys space and not circulation. And space! when we have 3000 is not worth auyj more in his estimation than when wej have 2000, and there is no money in i the subscription. Of course while you! arp at it so ahead and get all you can j but be sure to get after the fellow wbo! already owes. j i Thanksgiving day will bring a large J crowd to the city. We suppose the' merchants will do as they have been ! doing close their places of business j 011 that day and give the clerks a chance to enjoy the day. i ?^? Our local reporter, Mr. R. H. Gren-j u~~ ~ tr* T.siiirpns for a ! fcJKtJlj Uda guuc WW week's rest and outing and to spend ;| the Thanksgiving Aa,y in the country with his sister. We know that he .willj enjoy the outing and the rest and when ! he returns will be all the bettsr pre-! pared for efficient work. We men-, tion this here, however, to say that | if some "personals" do not appear the j reader may know the reason. Not j many local matters or "personals'' I escape the nose for news possessed J b,y Mr. Greneker. ;We hope he will enjoy the rest and be refreshed by it.1 Remember that The Herald and j News fro Friday will be issued on j flftpnmon or evening tnisj VY CUUWunr week and the office will be closed on Thursday, if you have an item that you want in that issue be sure to get it to us in time. If you have an ad you want inserted do not forget to bring it not later thatn Wednesday. The editor will probably hie himself to some secluded nook in the country, , while the boys and the others will j likely see the great foot ball game i on the college park. We are not so j sure that we will be able to find any j I one at home in the country on that I | day because we understand that ev- ' I ery one within a hundred or two miles ! i ,lo? ! 1 of Newberry is coming nere uj<u uajr ; to see the great athletic meet ai college park. It looks like this beautiful October weather is going to last all the way j i through November. Jt is simply grand But don't forget to drag the roads as soon as it does rain.
