"HAPPY HABIT IN GRADUA
TION DAYS."
IWalking to school in the morn
ing, coming from school in the
ovening,-how our thoughts are fill
ed with the sentences of that ora
tion, tha.t rings out over the grassy
fields, and across the meditative
heads of the browsing cows-who
caln forget, that first. essay prepared
for the platform to be delivered
from amid that little group of class
mates with whom So Ially tender
years have been spent ? Perhaps
there are even sone hashluil (holughts
of how it will imipress the youtg
lady who has accepted the apples 1
and the flowers for months past, C
and who somotimes was so consider- f
ate as to allow the budding hero to t
assist her with her problems.-Joe
Mitchell Chapple in National for i
June. t
And how happy these days are l
and how fortunate are those who
.have had the pleasure to travel that h
way. We are always delighted to t
s,e the life and bouyancy of youth a
'ind the hope that swells in the '
hreast. of the young college gradu- s
ate. In fact. we should retain that d
youth even if the years (10 come up- I
on us. The time seems short even to v
those who traveled the road that "
leads away from this happy state I
and why should they feel other than
young. We shall travel this road T
but once and why not Mill the jour
miey with the sunshine of happiness
and thus enter into (lhe spirit of (I
these comnienceinent occasions with t
those who are just passing that mile e
post. It will make the journey eas- A
ier and brighter for them.
Why not carry the happy habit of b
graduation ill through all the lays 11
iat come after graduation day. It n
would be so easy if we would but I'
form the habit. We give our best r
-elicer to all the happy graduates dur- g
ing these festive commencement v
times and wish for them that their g
fondest hopes may be realized.
OIVIO IMROVEMENTS. t
The civic association notices, I
which are printed elsewhere, were
intended to appear in Tuesday's pa- I
per, but in some way they got. mis- e
placed and while it is regretted that u1
the suggestions were not printed iin v
the early part. of the week, it is not
too late yet to carry out some of C
tliese things, which the association t
suggests. a
There are a great mainy things inl el
t-he muatter of civie improvemlenlt thatj
migh h e done lin i Newhlerrym. ramd they 8
oiuz lt. to lbe donw withIourt suirest ions. a
fromi an 'yone, a ml if all tiw' eilize.is|d
woul co-operarte anrd unit te in an t
effort to make t he cli y clean. it N
('oul1d he doine withlout m nneh e 'fort 1
on thle part of any one. If' you havei
e'yes and1( desirie to see, all you have i
to d10 is to keep your eyes opein anid a
you will tiind pilenty that ought to be 1
dlone. It adds1 a great deal to a c'ity t
to have its strecet s amtd its sidlewalks i
and its lawns , eanr and iz ;ood con- '
dition. :
As suiggested( by onei of' our ex~
ehluume~s. we do 1note are to he coin- a
st anut ly eerrin to( i Ande(1rson, hnit r
thle civie league ini thatI cit y has (lone V
5o much ini civie improvements that I
when the stranger goes into the city, y
lie involuntarily makes remarks ii
-abouit the improvemecnts, andl when r
one leaves there, he leaves wvith y
pleasaint impressions of t.he neatness 1
and( at tractiv'eness, niot only of the I
puliei square, bit of the city gen- I
erally, and lie is told that it is thle I
work of the eivie associatioii of that t
city. The same thing could be (lone I
in Newhberrv, 1bnt thIe eivic associa
tion1 cannot do it alone an,l withmout
thle encoura'.geiment , assistance and <
co-operation of our citizens general- I
ly. WVhy they canlinot have this isi
a mystery which probably can bei
solved only by the muind reader.
The following from tIhe Laurens I
Advertiser indicates that some of thre
people of Laurens have been to tihe I
eity of Anderson, and is another evi
dence of the value to tihe city of
Anderson of the work of the civic
association, which, of course, is be
nig done largely by the ladies. Like'
the Advertiser we are tired of point-1
mnug to Anderson, but it is alwvays a1
pleasure to comrinend such wvork as
tihe ladies of Anderson are doing
and if by pointing to Anderson wve
can get ourii people generally to as
sist the ladies, wh'lo are end(eavoring"
to do( such wvork, we 'shall ..alway~s
take pleaisu re inl hiolding' up Anuder
sen as anr example, arid we wish very
nech that more of our peole could
80 . se or threm801Ves whrat has, been
done for Anderson. Like Lauroi
our public square is very much n
lected, and is, in faet and in reali
a wagon. yard. In Anderson t
wagon yard has been provided, b
it is not on the publie square a'
you do not see a lot of mules at
wagons and negroes blocking n
wily t-he public square, but t
streets, as you see in Newber
whenever there is the least crowd
'own. A wagon yard should be pr
vided for our friends from the cou:
ry, but it should not be the publ
-itnre. The Advertiser says:
'.ow I much Imiger is our pu>l
;juamre to remain neglected? The l
lies of' Anderson have made its pull
ic squard al attractive little park <
>laza. h'lie ladies of Liaurens can d
)etter for, naturally the pu)bl:
quare of Liirens is handsomer I
le-in with. We are tired of poin
ii- to Anderson.''
City couiicil at its meeting o
Vediiesday night. had u) for consii'
ration the paving of Caldwell stre(
ron Friend to Pratt, and it is hope
hiat the property owners on eitlic
ide will be willing to carry out th
greement, which was virtually ci
ored into some time ago to the el
ect that the city would do the worl
I the owners of the property wouli
ay for the material. It is propose<
) lay this street in vitrified briel
lid also to raise and repave the side
ralk on the west side. This worl
hould be done and if we can get i
one soon and properly there will b
ttle doubt that these improvement
ill be extended to other street
hen the people see bhie great advan
lge.
HE FARKER, THE NATION'l
BAOKBONE.
President Roosevelt's speech at in
innapolis on the national transopi
ition problem naturally overshad
d the oiie he delivered at Lansing
fiehigan, on the vital relation il
Iiich the American farmer stand
.i the nation. It is to be doubted
owever, if the latter address is no
iore iiportant in its way, than th,
Jrm1)er. Certainly it is none the les!
niarkable, as revealing the intelli
ence and conscientiousness wit]
,hieh Mr. Roosevelt has studied thi
reat agrieultural and industria
roblems of the United States.
The president stresses the fae
iat "in every great crisis of th,

id president has shown' t 'e mer, as w
ot in at imirror, his importa00n, to the al
10 nation; and, at the ate time, he has to
ey shown the nation its obligatJoh. and bi
in duty to the farner.-Atlatita Consti- w,
D- tution. to
This is so much like the doctrine
we have been trying to preach for ly
so long and tit) much better said than b
ic we haviv ever been able to say it that tI.
I- we waiit to let, tle people have it in
I- this improved style. fi
r Anything that. will improve con
0o ditiols ill the rural communities shall
e have, as it has ever had, our most
hleary encourarenient and aid. It is
Itic itha a (bold and fearless and in
t!peiildent yeomanry has ever beent
.ie mainstay of every goVeinienit or
(.411oit-iy tat the world has ever sevi,
-and we still hope to see the sloganl
t of this generationi be ''Back to the
[ faI'i.'' The farmers are the back
r bone of the country. They can be h
e and they have a right to be the most
independent class of our people.
The president is right when lie em
phasizes the importance of home
1 owning. We do not need any more
I homeless people and we wiant to help
C and encourage those who are now
- tenants of the landed proprietors to
C buytheirownhomes. There is' nthing
t that binds one to his country like
3 the ownership of a home. As Mr.
a Jos. A. McCullough says in his most
3 excellent address to the young )a
- (lies of the Columbia College this
week: ''A man will die for his
home but whoever heard of one dy
i ing for his boarding house.'' Then
he relates the following incident:
''Helen Glasgow, in 'The Battle
- Ground,' gives a very happy illustra
- tion of this truth: Pinetops was
, about to desert on the eve of a bat
tle. The train of thought in his F
s mind was this: What am I frighten
, ed for anyway? I never owned a ne
t gro in -ll my lire, and more than that
I iever saw o-ie worth owning. His
idea wps lie wias fighting in defense C
- of the institution of slavery. Seeing
I the enemy advancing, the thought
suddenly flashed through his. mind, -
I ''Them tharfolkshave sot their foots
on ole Virginy, and they must take
t them off that quick.',This
3 thought really expressed the,.trpe; sit
I nation and sent -him boun<Ting"down
. the hill in the' direction of tbe 'iemy
. with his rifle in his hand. . Fop the
. first time lie realized lie was fighting
in defense of his home."
Let us build up the rural home and
r let t1hose who live there become the
C proprietors of their own acres.
IF 'ural delivery has done much to
- make tlie rural home pleasant and
attraetivi. We need better roads,
het 1er selmo . 1s a .d morec att enit ion
conv'l'lie's of' t110 m'nral lnomne. Tecl
t o'' e than it lhas ever' been.
.. Whaitever' ('ontrmibutes to the miaik
tine of' the i'ural -home contributes to
I lie stzability of' thle government.
EDGEFIELD, NEWB7RRY.
I Edgefield nee3ds better railroad fa
) e'ilities. and the only wiay to get
e thlemi is to hav'e anothIer' road her'e,
ci A steam road seems out of the ques
ci tion. That being the case, if we
w44ouild all get together' with might
t- and main, we could secure a Itrolley
- line t'rom some wherice to some p)lace.
- A line from her'e to either Abbeville,
e Grieenwoodl otr Newber'ry would be a
a paying li-ne.
.1 It is propoesd to build a line from
e olumb)ia to~ Saluda and from there
- to Abbeville and Anderson. Under
e those eircumstances it would b)e ben
f efleial for Edgaf1eld to get a line to
e Saluda. That would put us in touch
I with the upper p)art of the state
Ii from which wve are cut off. Green
C woodl is about twenty six miles from
Edgefleld. To 'each that place by
s rail, we have to travel about one
hundred and forty miles if we go' by
e C'olumnbia and 'nearly that if we go
-hy Augu~istai.
Edgefield needs an outlet. It is
-sadly bot) t led ill andl nothing wiill so
a suriely r'emedoy the present situtation
and~ put its ini toutchi with the outside
i'or'ld ais competition..
C A not-her' line herie would increase
f lie population antd enhance the value
of r'eah estate very much.
rLiet its get busy and do some
I thiing.-Edliefleid News.
g We agree to what the Newvs has to -~
t say about railroad conditions and
y have cbaneed t,he head to its re
s marks and inserted Newberry in the
y place of' GrJeenwood.
ni The road that Edgefleld shoild
n buil.d and that she needs is the orie
C from Augusta to Edgefleld via Stit
m- da to Newherr'y and on to Whiitmire.
T 'hat would.11 cover a sect ion which
e ine'eds railroad facilitie's more than
any othier section of Soultr Carolina;
d IFrom Whitmire to Augusta is onl

id as stated, wbild. go thronjgh a
rritory, which vould furnish ;nore
Isiness for the road, besides it
Duld give railroad facilities to the

From Newberry to Augusta is on
