E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New arrv. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesdav, July 23. 1907. In an article in the Columbia State of yesterday, attention is directed by Superin-tendent Simpsonn to the im provemernt which have been made in the -ervice on the Southern between Columbia and Greenville, and Mr. Simpsam calls attenton to the fact that pirt of this line has already been ((uipped with il-avy rails, and he says he expects to have the whole line so equipped within the next twelve months. The people all along the line appreciate the improved pas senger service which the Southern has given them, and they will be de lighted to know that the work of lay ing the heavy rail will be pushed to completion. Great improvement has been mad by the Southern in its service between Columbia and Greenville, within the past several months. Whor% former ly we had two passenger trains each way a day we now have three, and the trains are running well on sche dule time. The midday trains each way are carrying the first regular Pullman ever operated through Nowberry and we hope it will be well patronized, so that the road will feel encouraged to keep on this chair ear, and to make yet further improvements in the ser vice. Mr. Simpson also says that he is go ing to build the depot at Dyson, which the people of that community have asked for. Greenwood is getting her hospital movement in shape, and the people of that city seem determined .to have a hospital in the very near future. When the people of a town get together in a movement, success is assured. WELFARE WORK. The Chronicle is pleased at the in terest shown in what has been de nominated "welfare work.'' The ten deney to civic improvement and the amelioration of conditions that sur rou'nd people in big cities is toward beauty as well as utility, and the out door breathing spaces. In this connec tion we comment upon the jetter print ed yesterday and signed "A Machin ist,'' advocating the sale of Allen Park and the purchase instead of a , big wooded tract, well watered, way out in the country. It is interesting as indicative of one man 's yearning for the big spaces of wild nature, but is not to be considered. Allen Park should not be builded upon. Its function as a park should be exercis ed right where it is now. -Its location is excellent and the trend* of the city's growth is such that in a ,very few 'dears Allen Park will be almost i ndis~penlsable. The city that expects to grow cannot give up any parked space even to acquire another outside its limits. Every such spot is needed, if not at present, in the demands of the future. The lesson taught by the zreat municipalities that forgot to -park as thmey grewv is too recently taught to be neglected.-Augusta Chronicle. The above is especially applicable to Newberry at this time, when we have an opportunity, which will pro bably never come again, to widen many of our streets and to ot.hrwise improve and beautify the city. If we would learn from the experience of -other, cities, that forgot to widen .their streets when the opportunity presented itself, we would not let -pass the opportunity which we now havie. Missouri has recently passed a law authorizing farmers to make a trade mark of the name of their farms. This is a good law. and it- embodies a good idea. If a farmer is successful in rais ing a special kind of fruit or grain or crop of any sort it will be worth something2 to him to have the name of his farm registered and serve as a permanent advertisement of his *products. There is no reason why such a trade-mark should not *be as valuable to the farmer or fruit-grow *er or market gardener or 'dairy-far mer as his trade-mark is to manufae turer or merchant. It is the custom in the Old World to name estates, and in Scandinavian countries the name of the estates becomes part of the name of the family. The value of the custom of naming farms and estates has been shown in many cases where certain produc-ts. as wines, have be come famous under such names. The examole of Missouri is one thiat might be well followed throughout the coun trv.-Columbia State. Such a law would be of great ad vanag to farmers who take pride in Advertised Letters.

Willie was regular mother's boy, a writer in the Chicago Tribune de clares. He was so devoted to. her that he could not bear to have any one else do things for him, not even his indul gent father. One night he called his father to his bedside. "Papa," he said, ''will you please to bring me a glass of water?" His father went for the water, glowing with pride at the unusual summon, and when Willie had taken his drink the parent's curiosity got the better of him. "Why," he asked, "did you call me tonight, instead of your mother?'" "Oh, there's been a dressmaker here today, and I w4s afraid 'there might be some pins or needles on the floor to get into mama's feet," re plied Willie, innocently. Shaking Him Up. A young married lady one morning gave her husband a sealed let ter, which he was to read when he got to the office. He did so, and the let ter ran as follows: ''I am obliged to tell you some thing that may give you pain, but there is no help for it. You shall know everything, whatever be the conse quences. For the last week I have felt that it must come to this, but I have waited until the last extremity, and can remain silent no longer. Do not overwhelm we with bittre reproach, for you will hare to put up with your share of the trouble as well as my self.' Cold perspiration stood 'in thiek drops on the brow of the husband, who was prepared for the worst. Trembling he read on: ''Our coal is all gone. Please order a ton to be sent this afternoon. I thought you might forget it for the tenth time, and therefore wrote' you this letter. But he didn't forget that time! Why We Had No Enemies. Bishop Joseph F. Berry, during the Miethodist conference 's recent session, says the Indianapolis Star, to'ld a story in illustration of the t'ender eries of the wicked. ''I-t is said,'' he began, ''that when the great Spanish marshal, Narvaez, ay dying his confessor asked him if e had any enemies. '''No, whispered the marshal; 'I aaenone.' "'But the priest, reflecting on the stormy life of the dying man, repeat d: '' 'Think sir! Have you no ene nies~? None whatever?' '''No,' said the marshal, 'none.' ''And he added, tranquilly: '''I have shot them all.''' It's Worth Remembering. . That happiness is found only when yu look within, not without. That love may be ever so great, but must dlso be wise, to grow. That to be poor without losing self respect or a sense of enjoyment is a fine art.. That kindness of any true sort must be expressed in terms of the recipient, not of the donor. That capability marks some men, and importance others, but that in dispensability attaches to none. That mediocrity, provided it be per severing. accomplishes more than fitful talent. Hares and tortoises still run races.-Exchange. Our Foreign Counsuls all Right. San Francisco Chronicle. There must be some mistake in the assumption that the American consu 01I urniurer(Vs aiinlen-bni and tell them how to do business ought to fill the consular bill to the satisfaction of all en!eerned. If there is a con sul stationed in any obseure part of the Old World who does not know more about the real needs of Ameri can business men than all our manu facturers and merchants combined we have not heard of him. How to Get Bid of Prejudices. Troy, N. Y.. Times. There is nothing like getting well acquainted to knock erroneous no tions out,of people's minds. At least ~two-thirds of the complications of the past which led to serious disagree ment if not to open hostility have been traceable to the differences due to distance and lack of close intercourse. fodern methods, which by means of steamship and cable lines are bring ing everybody into touch, are steadily doing away with causes of misunder standing. Intelligent and unbiased men and women, no matter what their own beliefs, political, religious and so cial, who travel abut the world and learn to know the natives of other regions, have most of their prejudices removed and find that there is a great common humanity where all can meet on fairly equal terms. . . All Took the Hint. A man in a small western town bought a quart of inilk and on arriv ing home found it was adulterated with water. The,next day he posted bills in different sections' of the town reading: "I bought a quart of milk yester day whieh I found to be adulterated. If the scoundrel will bring me anoth er quart I'll not denounce him." The next day he found three quart cans on his doorstep. There were three dairymen in the town. Compulsory honesty is like cleanli ness enforced' by the health officer, sure to relapse 'into filth when the officer ceases his visits. The night hawk makes no nest at all, simply laying its eggs in a slight depression in the ground. The eggs look~ sonnuch.like small stones that they pass undetected by the searcher. Amazing Shame! Tune: "Amazing Grace.''" f"Amazing shame! how great today, That robs the farmer's toil; He once was free, but now a slave A vassal on the soil. The gam.blers on the boards of trade The bulls and bears combine To steal the profits from the crops It is the grea.test crime. This evil long have farmers borne; For .freedonm they have sighed; Unorganized they stood alone In vain for right they cried. 'Tis union makes the farmers strong, 'Tis justi.ee they demand; In equity they take delight, For mighty truth they stand.'' Barbecue at Keitt's Grove.
