TRYING IT AGAIN.,
The Charlton County Herald
has been purchased by me. With
this issue I assume charge as its
Editor.
It scems to me that 27 years of
usefulness in sponsering public
zood, having itsups and downs,
sharing with it joys, and excepting
of its sorrows ought to hold to the‘
Herald its many friends. Through ‘
these many years it has been edi-l
ted by several of our best cilZenSl
which gave it added stability and |
force in molding opinions as a base |
for a bigger and better communi
ty. Two of them, who where my
personal friends and greatly ad
mired by me for their unselfish’
good work for the public welfare
have answered the last call. Col.'
Wm. Clliff orought the Herald in
to being in 1900 —and as a worker
for community good he was a peer.
The late Rev. E. L. Wainwright
put zeal and hope ia to communi
ty heart during his regime and
stepped [orth into the ministry
from the Editorisl chair. Twc
ex-editors are now in our midst,
who ere well-known by \heir‘
gond works— Representive L. E.
Mallard and {éreliring editor,
Mrs. W. Hi nson.
Now we feel in speaking of se'l
that remarks are useless —a citizen
since February 1905 has made you
know me too well for furtherin
troduction. Our weakness for
the things produced by the soil,
and experience along that line will
be used in an endeavor for Char
ton's gond. In & community like
ours the vasis of produced weaith
comes from the soil. Community
centers can only be built by the
wealth produced within—outsii
money beckons only to oppartuai
ty’s calland demand. The Hera'd
expects to show our adyantages
and opportunities, week in ana
week out, frankly, freely anc
truthfully. The world will even
tually krow us. and our purpose
is to help hasten the knowing.
We expect to work for, ard be
a part of the community. In tne
aid given to build up, we expect
to keep pace by improving the
paper, so as to merit business from
every interest identified with the
community prozress and welfare,
A mirror, you might say, to reflect
the dawn of prosperity,
Our business is, in helping oth.
ers, help ourselves, Our hread
and meat must come with oar ef
fort. Success will be ours: Ow
heart will be in the work, and our
hand and head know it,
* We expect to wear cur shirt, not
tear it. Towuid worthy causes and
commend good deeds. Parading
and seeking out little evil things
is no purpose of ours,
It has truly been said that there
is something bad in the best of us,
and something good in the worst
of us. Is'nt the fragrance of the
flower greater than the essence of
a weed; gond fruit more sustain
ing than the faulty.
If we felt that we could not by
this work be helpful, we would
not undertake it. The Herald is
your paper and what it will be in
the future is accordiniz to what
you wish it to be,
As a cronicler of events, and a
herald of ylad tiaings, and sweet
sympathy we will goto you week
ly, and what molding of public
sentiment it does will be by your
belief 1n the sincerity of our effort
}and not by any idea of our great
leadership.
~ The Herald expects its support
ifrom the source 1t endeavorsto
aid, and here is hoping that suc
"cess comes to it for community
sake as weli as for mine.
Sincerely,
T. W. WRENCH.
OUR SCHOOLS.
Mondey was the beginning of
the 1927 28 school term for the
entire scnoo! system of Chsrlton
county, and it starts witn the as-}
surance of accomglishing greatei
gond than ever before, because of
a hetter organized progam, better
school plants and better school
facilities and a trained corp of
teachers. The co-operation of
the various districts officials hes
been heartily promised and in
knowing the trustees,we expect it
to be literally carried out.
" It is to the patrons and publis
we would ask their sustaining aid
and influence. It matters not how'
good is your building, the ableness!
of your {eacher, the promptness
)f your bns driyer—ye scholors
cannot be filled unless you are at
the fountain of knowledge when
it flows o drink in the knowledge
held for you, Knowledge is only
for those that seek and atwin it,
Waters that esc je over the
mill dam, and race on unbarnessed,
to the sea, i 3 a waste of power, of
av use. That ehild who fajls by
¢hance to take advantage of the
oppoiunity of an education can be
nkened unto these waste walers,
Undeve'nped power is there but it
is not barnessed for use, it'sapity
and a crime for ignorance to be in
a ¢ mmu ity, when the foice lu‘
drive it out is at hand. |
Evar, parent, every neighbor
and every tax-payer ¢hould exert
nis influence to correct tardiness,
t uanecy ordelinquency inany fask
i n. Ch,ifthose who wilfully cr
otherwise, could but know wh t
irceparable hurm he is doing thet
‘hitd, ena s of fire would burn his
aner conscicusness durirg the
aging years of lns life. A du'y}
every man owes his own is the
same opportunity offered owhers.
It is not comgulsory mefhods
that should force your child to
school, but the parents love and
Jesire to see and watch the deve!-
opment of his chi dinto a glourious
womanhood or a useful man, the
makiong of a 2ivizen who will in fu
ture yesrs be one in whom the
parems, t e commubily or state
will be justly proud to call “our
own.”
Be frendly with schools. Visit
them and see the work lirst hard
and when you speak ol its accom
plishment or lack of accomplish
ment, speak ol it in the first per
son, for nrst hand koowledge is
what counts,

THAT BABY BOND PLAN.
Blackshcar and Homervile are
both growing and so stimulate ef
forts to further the growing po
pensities of their towns feund the
improvement most on paved, or
conternplated paved highways—
that people saw value there. So
as the last legislature did wisely
pass alaw, which allowsa town to
paye streets on their iniative by
what is know as a Baby Bondplan
both towns are at work {o accom
plish the desired end—pave their
sireets. Laborand material being
available leasonable, and work
justifying the experditure it seems
that the wizdom of their action s
one that might arouse other towns
to be guided by their move. ‘
The accummulation of dust and
dirt in homes from trafic is so no«
ticable that the wear and tear of
friend wife’s herves and temper is
alone worth the money. . . An
wnat is money but the agency to
accomplish something worth
while. Whatever one may say, a
paved street and sidewalk, with
sprezding shade points the way to
streefs where thiift and beautiful
homes mark the way.
WHAT’S NEXT?
What will the communities who
produced the ten million aollar
tobacco crop do now to follow it up
with u fall eftort. Bermuda on
10ns, purple top turnips, cabbage
ia"d collardswilleach iend a helping
‘hand if properly looked after. If
{a plan was properly put forward
‘now, some good money can be
lmade with any one of these crops,
'for success is in the proper culti
!vation of these crops.

When Buick im
proves upon Buick
—the standard for
the year is set
Buick for 1928 introduces
a higher standard of beauty
and luxury than the world
has ever known. Buick
interiors are as modisH as
exquisite drawing-rooms—
as harmoniously colored
—and as comfortable.
Buick’s new Fisher bodies
are low-swung without
any loss of head-room or
road-clearance.
And so,down to the small.
est detail of construction,
wherever refinements
could be made, Buick has
made them. Again Buick
has improved upon Buick.
Again the standard for the
year is set.
