University of South Carolina Libraries
E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, APRIL 21, gos. It has been suggested that at the next meeting of the Columbia Library association, on the second Tuesday in May. the name of the library be changed to the "Timrod Library." This would be an appropriate and last ing tribute to one whose memory is sacred to all true South Carolinians. The railroads and railroad commis sioners have about agreed on a plan for a union depot at Newberry whereby the present passenger sta tion of the Southern will be used by both roads. This was the suggestion which some of us made about a year ago when the matter was agitated and and it will cost very little to either road to carry it out and will be much better than what we have. We are of the opinion that it would be better to have the passenger station away from the freight depot and that the most desirable place for this union passenger station is at the junction at the foot of Caldwell street but we had better take this agreemept of the commissioners and railroads now than to wait. We hope to see work commence at once. There seems to be difference of op inion as to the result of the move ment and organization of the farmers of the south to reduce the cotton acre age. Some seem to think that the in crease in the privilege tax is an indi cation that the use- of fertilizer will be much greater and consequently the anount of cotton to be planted will be increased in like propotion. This is explained by fact that this tax is paid this year on cotton seed meal and also by the fact that the farmers are using commercial fertilizer under their corn, It will hardly be possible to tell just what has been done until the govern ment report comes in. There is no doubt that there will be considerable reduction-in the acreage. Whether it will be 25 per cent. or not of course cannot be said and even if it is not that much it is scarcely probable that as large crop will be made as was made last year. The farmers are making a mistake to rush their cotton on the market. COTTON PLANTING DELAYED. In South Carolina Planting Later Than Usual-Transplantinlg of Tobacco Begun. Washington, April 19.-The weekly crop bulletin of 'the weather bureau under date of yesterday, says: Cotton planting is much delayd in Mississippi and Lotiisiana, and is lat er than usual in Texas and both Caro linas. Betters progress with this work has been made in Alabama ana 'jeer gia, and in the southern portion of these states is nearing completion. Fair to good stands of the early plant ed are reported from Alabama, Geor gia and Florida. In Txas the early planted is reported as promising. Tobacco plants are generally plenti ful, and transplanting has begun in oSuth Carolina and Florida. While the fruit must necessarily have sustained i1jury ,fr9ng the severe cold during the' 'a'ter- part ofu-he week in the central.andso.uthervdis-; tricts, it is prebabIk tfrat lT the arbe northern sections to the eastward of the Mississippi river the damage has been less serious. In New England and the northern portion of the lake region it is probable that no serious injury has been done. Good Friday. Today is the day celebrated by Christians as the anniversary of the passio*n and death of their Lord. To those of them, who realize the signi ficance of the day, it is the most sol emn day in all the year. Its obser vance dates back to the very earliest period in the history of the church. Constantine the Great forbade the holding of judicial trials, markets, public entertainments and amuse ments on that day. For centuries it has been observed by the great multi tude of Christians, in all ages and in flow Much C If every man had to earning power there w in the world.

M copal, Lutheran and German Reform ed churches, all over the world today, thousands will gather in their places of worship to call to remembrance the story of the cross. Thousands will eiter into the spirit of the message that the day brings. They will trans act the necssary business of the day, but will lay aside everything that -ench to draw the mind and heart away from the memory and influence of the event they celebrate. There are many Christians, wrose conscienc es permit them on other days to at tend the theatre, the social card party or the social dance, who would soon er think of indulging in such amuse ments on Sunday (the Lord's day) than on Good Friday. The infiucnce of the day is more and more felt, at least on its formal side, than it has ever been. In many of the states of the United States, it is now a legal holiday. In most of the states the schools are closed today, and the stu dents are given holiday, that they may keep Holy-day. The sentiment, il such it may be called, is a worthy one.
