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.
