X. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1905 The reports as to the yellow fever situation in New Orleans show an in crease in the death rate, but the au thorities continue to claim that they feel no alarm. It is to be hoped their confidence is well founded. The dispensary question will no doubt be Fufy and freely discussed at Young's Grove on August 15. Eith er side will be represented by those who are numbered among the kaders. Parks And Public Improvements. We wonder sometimes why New berry has no parks, which by com mon consent are marks of public ,spirit, and advancement. These and like improvements come to every commu nity by concerted effort, and we do not recall any attempt in this direc tion hitherto. Has the time not come, when a forward step may not be taken. with reasonable assurance of success? Though we may differ from others we believe that a public park with well-shaded walks, with fountains at play, with beautiful shrubbery, and flowers, with benches and rustic seats. and all the other paraphanalia is well-nigh a necessity, for the rapid growth of our young city. This is no fanciful dream, as time^ will de velop the thought into an actuality, In fact the man with an idea, with a liberal purse, and a generous heart, way now be living within these environs. What a splendid opportun nity this is to immortalize oneself at this juncture for the public weal. It may be difficult for some to realize the value and importance of this subject, at this time: may we not remind our readers that when the question of lighting the city by elec tricity, and equipping an artesian system, and seweraging. was first discussed, these improvements were actually opposed by a few, who had not forethought to see the great ad vantage of them. No one. now would be so silly as o assert that it was a folly, and a waste of money. Such progressive steps advance the price of real estate, and make any community the more desirabl, for residence and business purposes. We have in mind a beautiful woodland, which we refrain from mentioning out of good taste, that would make * an ideal situation for a park. Na ture has already supplied many of the *necessary featrures, which with dona tions from our wealthy citizens, could easily be converted into a park, that would be an ornament to our growing city and supply a great need. We hope this suggestion will receive the support and commendation of our public-spiritced and well-to-do citizens, and that some one will take the matter up practically and see it materialized. .11 honor to him, and to all of us who can "rise upon our dead selves to higher things," cast off our garments of selfishness, and '"do noble things, not dream them all day long." What a blessing then this would be to Newberry, whereby the little innocents may gather in amusement and for the inhaling of God's pure air; a blessing to older ones who would find a joyous res pite from exacting cares of business and home-life, thus replenishing tired bodies with tone, and wasted frames with energy, and shattered nerves .with rest which is so essential in our physical make-up. And perchance it may prove a delightful trysting place for others whose hearts pul .sate with generous emotions akin to love, but to this we barely refer. Let us have 'the park, and all these affairs will adjust themselves. A park is a desired and desirable quantity-not an illusion. West End News. Mr. F. H.
