THE REST ROOM.
The Journal is glad indeed to learn
that (he Winthrop Daughters have
taken hold of the matter of erecting
a rest room in t his eit.v. For more
than a year we have strongly advocated
this movement and from time
to time editorials have hcen written
by us calling for the ladies to take
hold of it.
Now the worthy Winthrop Daughters
step to i!i/j front and assume this
obligation. Kvery citizen and business
man should realize the importance
of a rest room for Greenwood.
And is. in any way you can help thes_?
ladies do not fail to do so.?-Greenwood
Journal.
The question of a rest room has {
been discussed to some extent in New- j
berry. A propositon to use the old ^
court house for that purpose has (
been made. There is no doiihl (hat j
every town the size of Newberry or \
of Greenwood needs such a place. i
We would be glad if our ladies in ,
the city would lake this matter up in
connection with tlx; merchants and \
have it discussed. The more conven- ^
ienccs we provide for o'ir friends ,,
from the country who come here to ,
do their shopping, the more readily ,s
will they come. s
Such a place would be a "Treat convenience
and comfort to the ladies e
from the country when Ihev come to li
town. The question to use the old
court house for this purpose in connection
with a library is to be submitted
to the voters in the primary ?
as a miide for the members of the
legislature in making provision for
the disposition of the old court house.
In submit iing the question there I
should be some guarantee from those I
who desire that il he retained for I lie >
purpose indicated thai proper care <i
will be taken of it. li
In order to lake proper care of the "
building il will be necessary to pro- ii
vide a fund t?> pay a .janitor or a s
jani tress and lliis might be made in 1
connection with a Horary. b
There are those who think thai I he b
old court house should be torn down c
;>o as lo give more room for a wagon
yard; there are others who think if (1
the court house is lorn down a park t
should be provided in the public (1
square and the wagon yard removed, ii
There i.? no (jupsiitu n ou- an<r?d v
as to what should he done, bu( of a
course we will be willing lo abide by n
whatever a majority of (lie while p
people in this county think and say h
on the subject. In any event the f
wagon yard should be removed from o
the public square and if the old court I
house is lorn down a park should be v
provided. We are of the opinion, how- li
ever, that Newberry now has an op- I
port unity to provide a good library g
and cnmforlable rest rooms for our l<
friends from the country at verv lit- o
tie expense. While I he courl house t
belongs to (he county we are satisfied a
that (he people of the county will I
favor relaiuinn it for this purpose,
provided. the.lown will guarantee a ii
fund for the proper care of (he build- i
ing. I
'I'lie law re<|tiiriug ilogs lo he muz- e
i'led should Its' ex I ended beyond the i
limit of towns and cities and if nee- <
essar.v there should be a Stale law t
on the subject. Permission should s
be sjiven to I he cit izen lo shool down |
any dog running at large without a |
muzzle. The fad is, in the present a
condition of affairs he would be jus- i
tilied in doing il any way. 1
It was learned vesterdav afternoon I
that I lit* national republican conven- I
lion, now in session in Chicago, would
not reach a ballot before today. A
number of nominating speeches are
being made in placing candidates before
the convention and a ballot will
not be readied until some time today.
The Slate campaign, both for
Stale office < ami for tinted Slates
senator, opened on Wednesday and
everything was very quiet and without
(lie usual spice which enters into
mosl political campaigns in South
Carolina.
The entry of Mr. W. W. Lumpkin
and Mr. J. 1'. Grace as candidates
for the senate was something of a
surprise.
DON'T BORROW TROUBLEHUSTLE!
Let us Smile, Be Cheerful and Do
Our Level Best.
"Never (rouble tumble, (ill trou
bio troubles you," and if you own ]
any money go to bed and sleep. "Let J
the other fellow walk the floor"?
you need the rest to enable you to ]
work and earn it to pay him back, |
and that is good, sound advice, say-i
the New Idea Woman's Magazine for
July.
If you worry yourself to death over i
the every-day .annoyances of life, you i
will deserve all the suffering it creat- 1
es, such as sickness, poverty, disap* 1
pointuient and loss of good looks,
and can only boast a warped disposi- *
tion.
All these conditions keep off the
good things that might be yours for <
the taking.
Tn this great plan of creation it is
certain that every one lias a place; *
and if we are not in it and fulfilling I
the obligations it requires, no matter c
how hard, whose fault is it? We
surely cannot blame that fact upon
the Creator, for humanity should be
constantly begging TTis pardon for
misunderstanding Ilim so frequently
is it does.
No, it is lack of mental activity
ind a desire to dodge our moral reslonsibililies;
we should put our fin- (
;er on our lips and remember that
nice we were given dominion over
he things of (his earth, ourselves to
>e only a little lower than the angels, a
What has become or the gift? It. r<
,vas given for all time. 4
If we expect a good living to drop h
nto our lap like a rTpe plum, as it
vcre, without troubling ourselves to
tarn if, needless to say we will get
i shock, and it will take all the
punk we can scare up to cushion it J ei
0 that if does not Tjowl us over. ! s(
So lei us sing blithely, let its smile ! I)
heerfully, let us dress our best?and < (

KILLING A DEVILFISH. j
Sport on the Gulf of Mexico That En- j
tails Hard Work.
The task of hitting a devilfish J S
"roni a H-I'ool boat was left to the |i
laehelor o| (he pariv, the married
nember explaining that he fell his J |,
Inly to the ones af fionie excluded J o
iiin from anything that smacked so 1 n
f suicide, says Scribner's. Accord-'
ugly, when near the next fish, the:!-'
kill' put till from :'ic stern of Ihe i |)
rone, Ihe spearman standing in the
ow while (lie skipper stood the big I C
oat away so as to g?ve the lisli a G
lear lield at the lirsl rush. is
The plan developed perfectly?Ihe ('
lirow was good, Ihe lisli half filled
he boat with his lirsl splash, and
lien rushed away in n great swingig
circle, so thai in 15 minutes it C
>*as possible for the sloop to cut U
cross and catch up, when by some
lauoeuvering it became possible to
ass the inboard end of (lie line up to d
icr bowsprit After lhat it was a [)
ighl to ;i finish, with the devilfish r,
n one end of the line and the tenon
sloop on the other. For a Ions s
/bile it seemed as though the devil- ('
sh had the better of it. He towed p
hat big boat steadily ou< inlo the
ulf for three hours and twenty mimics.
II was exactly like being in tow c<
f a fair-sized lug. The progress of
he boat was no! fast, but as steady
s if if were being driven by the
rene's own engines. w
1) may he fair to remark that kill- n]
ug a devilfish entails as much genu- (,
ne, muscle racking hard work as any
ask on earth. If is much the same
s pulling for hours against a yoke
>f oxen who are moviutr < ff entirely!,,
ndilTerenl lo one's futile elTorls. The j
levillish will nol let simple towinsi I
ire him. If lefl to himself he will (
ound to bottom, and after rest in** j
iroceed oil ad infinilum. It is lo
irevent such resting thai one must
York constantly by hauling Ihe (ow
n close lo him, I hereby frightening
iiin !<> constant effort. If lie can be ,

u rained to tin' point of weakening.

When Authority Vanished.
l'Som<- years ago," says an Tndia- <
napolis l-?wvcr. " a certain country '
district ot Indiana boa 'ted of a jus-!
lice v11o was opprof? i*.e.*v imbued

itv in seeing that I In* peace was kept i'
in his b:iiliHe ..ever lo-t ::n
opportunity lo show his nuthcr-iy.
Now, (his justice of the peace was
also a farmer, and his farm bordered)
on the Slate of Ohio; indeed, one of;
his fences \ as exactly on the State i
Iii.e ] i
<la \' is son an! a hired man 1
i >"'!:lu(d mi a fistic ep'ounier near
this tine fence. The justice, quick to
see the situation, jumped to Ihe fqjice,
as a better bench of justice, and assailed
the fighters, demanding 'peace
in the name of the Stale of Indiana.' <
"No sooner, however, had Ihe juslice
farmer asserted his authority
than the fence upon which he was
perched gave way, carrying him over
backward?into Ihe State of Ohio. As
lie felt himself falling lie shouted toji
bis son: |
" 'Soak it to him good, Bill! J've .
lost my jurisdiction!'"?Philadel- I
phitt Ledger. |
A Calm Witness.
A lawyer was cross examining a
witness with a view to getting him
middled in his testimony. The folowing
questions and answers occur ed:
"Did you see the plaintiff faint a
short time ago?"
"Yes, sir."
"People turn pale when they faint,
lon't they?"
."No, sir; not always."
"What! Do you mean to tell me
hat a person can faint and not turn
>ale? Did you ever Hear of such a
ase?'
"Yes, sir."
"Did vou ever see sncli a case?" |S
"T did, sir."
"When?"
"About a year ago."
"Who was' it ?"
" "l'was a negro, sir."
The lawyer excused the witness.?
