R. H. AULL, EDIToR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1904. At -. Paul's. It was the pleasure of the editor to worship with the good people of St. Paul's on Sunday and after service to take dinner with the pastor. the Rev. J. A. Sligh. It is always a pleasure 'to go to this community for it brings to memory days that are gone but were pleasant. There have been so many changes, however. that there - is a tinge of sadness in a visit. Mr. Joe Werts a former neighbor and schoolmate and a son of that good physician and the family physi cian in those days. Dr. H. Werts, went with us and being familiar with the people who live in that commun ity now he could locate the old places and the old paths. Many familiar faces of former days are not there now, but the congregation is large and the young people are taking the places of their fathers and the church is not neglected. The old school house is there and has been painted. -Mr. Sligh has been pastor of this church for thirty-nine successive years. He succeeded the Rev. Mr. Blackwelder in 1865. It is a good long time. for one pastor to serve a con gregation. And he is more popular today with his congregation than he was at the beginning. He has bap tised the children, buried the dead * and married the people until he has become one of them. 'The graveyard has grown so that is becomes necessary to enlarge it and to do so the church building must be moved. So they are going to havZ a barbecue some time soon to raise some money to help pay the ex - pense of moving the church and mak ing needed repairs on the parsonage which is now occupied by Mr..Sligh. The committee will meet next Satur day to fix the day and make necessary arrangements. Speaking of the graveyard we re member when the first person was buried there, an uncle, Wm. Calvin Aull, who died of wounds received in the war. The city of the - dead will grow apace with the city of the liv ing. No Gloom in This Man's Breast. *So. you don't like your job! You are bossed and criticized. You do things wrong and somebody finds fault. And hours are long and pay small. You know a fellow younger than you who draws twice as much money and has a soft snap. You get the short end of everything. You are blue and you sulk. Perhaps you sol dier a bit at times, and you wonder why some one does not promote you and tell you you are worth more mhoney. Life seems like a streak ot Indigo to you. Lots of young fellows reason that way. They make themselves misera ble. They spoil their lives and they 'decrease their efficiency. They have health, home, good friends, and they *refuse to make the best of things. Read about Tony Springlemeier. He has no legs to speak of. A freight train trimmed him up 13 years ago and made him a cripple. He has so much human sunshine in his breast that he refuses to be blue. He works at anything that is honor able. The other day with pick and shovel, he was helping to tear down an old building, doing a whole man's work and drawing a whole man's pay. "I ask no odds of any of 'em," he said, as he buried his pick in a mass of brick. "I've got a pair of cork legs, but I prefer to work as I am." He laughed. It was a hearty laugh of a brave, light-hearted. strong man. He found time to court a young wo man and win her, to rear children and make them proud of him. Yes, sir. there is a happy family that belongs to Tony Springlemeier. the legless toiler. WVIhen you see a man in that condi tion refusing to be gloomy. getting along in spite of the handicap. and carrying a whole heart in a crippled body, doesn't it make you feel like cutting out your sulks. stop kicking and making the best of the somebody and the opportunity that are yours. Spartanburg Journal. We publish the above for the en couragement of those who are con stantly complaining of their lot and with the world in general. We need more sunshine in the breasts of most of us and when we find a man with no legs asking no odds of any of 'em and going through life doing his duty cheerfully and with a smile on his face, happy and light hearted. not complaining, it should make the more fortunate. who have a sound body. and a whole body, ashamed to complain. The world needs more sunshine in human hearts, less sulking. more of that cheerful, helpful spirit which mes the life better and happier that has it, and the world round about better. We need to stop "knocking" and go to helping and brightening, and going about our duties in that helpful spirit which asks no odds of any of 'em. Think of this man with both legs off and yet with no gloom in his heart and stop sulking and complain ing of your condition. Bulldog Tenacity. The Metropolitan Magazine has been running an article on the "Cap tains of Industry," recounting how certain successful business men had attained their success and giving some of their characteristics. In a recent article it refers to a Mr. W. E. Corey, who is the head of the steel corporation. In reply to the question. "What are the chances for an ambitious young man today?" Mr. Corey is reported as saying: "Good men are in demand more than they ever were. The smartest. is not always the surest to succeed. The man with bulldog tenacity, who never gives up, is the one who suc ceeds. The man who succeeds is the man who is not satisfied merely to do the work laid out for him. but does more."~ This is true and all of us have seen. it demostrated frequently. It is not always the man who takes the honors of his class who makes the success of life when he is thrown out on the world, but the one who has the bull dog tenacity, that quality which sticks, the determination to hold on, 'and the ability to carry out the de 'termination. Then there is another class who start out with good positions, but who seem to have no higher ideal or am bition that to put in the time they are to put in and to perform the tasks laid out for them. Or as some oneC has put it. those who are always watching the clock to see when the time to quit has come rather than to perform the work which is to be done,a and in this way make themselves indispensable, as it were. Men who ,constantly watch the lock may expect to be but wage workers all their lives and may count themselves fortunate if they can al ways find an employer. True; good men are in demand and always will be. Men who can do things and who are willing to 'go ahead and do them. The Newberry Herald and News has not as much use for Columbia in "the good old summer time" as it had onempo a time. It does not think this a good place to spend "a while" in the summer time and says of the military encampment: "If the expense was the consideration it would have saved more money not t.- have had an encampment at all." Si it would. And if a hungry man has not the price (f a canvassback duck for dinner he should not indulge in beefsteak because by starving him self he would save the cost of the steak.-The State. The very polite and courteous and suave State newspaper is entirely this taken. The editor of the Herald and News is exceedingly fond of Columbia and Columbia people. To our mind it is a most charming place and the peo ple have always been clever to us and it is not out of the possibilities that the editor of The Herald and News may live there again. That does not pre vent this newspaper. however, from speaking the truth. that it is hot there in July and August. In the spring there is no more delightful climate in all this land, but we have not heard of any one going there in search of a pleasant summer resort. As to the encampment that is set eled and we are satisfied and hope the soldiers will enjoy it. The compari son of the encampment to the man who is starving is not at all analagous. The one is a neccessity to preserve life and the other is not a necessity. The man who is short on funds should whack off the luxuries. That is all there is to that. Had Weak Nerves. "A travelling man stopped at a ho tel at Monticello. The proprietor told him he could not lodge him, not a room in the house," says a commer cial traveller. "The travelling . man protested. He must have a room. Finally the proprietor told him there was a room, a little room separated by a thin partition from a nervous man, a man who had lived in the house for ten years. " 'He is so nervous,' said the land lord, 'I don't-dare put any one in that room. The least noise might give him a nervous spell that would en danger his life.' 'Oh, give me a room,' said the traveller, 'I'll be so quiet, he'll not know I am there.' "Well, the room was given the trav eller. He slipped in noiselessly and began to disrobe. He took off one article of clothing after another a! quietly as a burglar. At last he came to his shoes. He unlaced a shoe and then, man-like, dropped it. "The shoe fell to the floor with a great noise. The offending traveller horrified at what he had done, waited to hear from the nervous man. Not a sound. He took off the second shot and placed it noiselessly upon the foor. Then in absolute silence nz. fnished undressing and crawled be tween the sheets. "Half an hour went by. He had dropped into a dose when there came a tremendous knocking on the parti tion. "The traveller sat up in bed tremb ling and dismayed. 'Wh--wha what's the matter?' he asked. Then came the voice of the nervous man: " 'Blame yo'u? Drop the other shoel'" Robert?P. Tucker, of Charleston, has entered suit against the Southern railway for $2,0oo damages for fail ure of one of its trains to get him to Gainesville, Ga., on time, causing him to lose three days from his bus iness and incur other additional ex -pense.
