Mr IC. II. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Newberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, September 11, 11)08. KNOCKING THE EDITOR. .11! yoii don't just like every!hing you see in your home paper, go around the stroots mud liowi. The editor is never supposed to make u mistake, and of eourso ennnot <lo so. Other people can, but the editor is ubiquitous, omniscient, mnipresent, "omnivorous." If yr>u can't see a good point, don't fail to see a had one. It' a thousand pleasant things are said of people, hunt for something unpleasant, If you don't find it howl some, more; if you do, howl anyway. Never mind yvir own business; watch for something to find fault with in some other man's business. This will make, you great. ? ICIherlon Star. t rnler this standard there are very few in l his community who have attained greatness. In this community everybody attends to his own business and never has time to know what other people are doing. We have no one who is idle, ajid therefore there is no mischief mode. Kveryhody says pleasant things about everybody else, and no one ever finds fault hni we all have pleasant words even for our enemies, that is if anybody had time to have an enemy. Kveryhody likes everything he sees in the paper and if there should be anything in I he paper lie doesn't like lie tails to see it. Nobody stands on the street corner mid therefore there are no howlers. W'c are afraid that wo cannot claim any greatness if we are to he measured by the. standard ol the Klhcrlon Star. Wonder if there are any people in Newberry who til the description and standard of ureal iless set by I ho Klberloii Star. Nobody has a hammer in "Nowberry so far as we know. We are vlad to noto the election of Tractor A. Iloiiham n< solicitor of I ho I I'll, circuit and congratulate him on the vidory. We have only an aci|uainlaiiice with him but his I a I her, (leu. M. h. Monliam, has been our lilt* time tricml and the young man conies o| good stock and will make good. I lie Index broke all previous records in gelling the election returns this time. The complete Vote of < 1 t'ccnwood county was received in the Index ollico in one and one-half hours alter the polls bad closed. Fine business, eh.' To those who faithfully and loyally assisted ns in being1 able to make tliis fine showing, unei|iialied in the Stale. I lie Index makes its best bow. No wonder the crowds around the bulletin boards hurrahed lor the Index. (!reenwoo<| 1 n?|ex. I lie Herald and Xews had the returns and an extra printed giving the tabulated vote by seven o'clock sullicientlv complete to give the result as to Hie county. Several precincts were missing but we made no special eOort to get them and tliev did not change the result. Hut nobody applauded The Herald and Xeus though the crowds were around the ollico iu full force. We have beon so iu the habit of doing this for the past twenty years that no one seemed to think it extraordinary or more than thev expected. Tt was just what every body expected. If "we had not done so probably there would have boon kicking and knocking, but as wo did it nobody applauded or thought it more than we ought to do. No doubt, they appreciated it as much as if they had made a noise about it. 1'he good roads association needs to -el busy now and see if we cannot devi<(> some plan to gel a good macadam road built by every man's door and I lien every body will favor the scheme, but if not many will opl^se the plan because maybe some otu will get a lit tb' more benefit I nan some one cUe. I he automobile enthusiasts should fci'l in behind the oily fathers and see if we cannot got something done improve our streets. The country roads as bad as they are are sea reel v as rough as our streets. I lie elections are all over now and we hope everybody can get down to business and those who have been preaching that all differences which may have been caused iu the heat <>f tlie campaign l?c forgotten will practice what thc\ preach. We have heard that Senator Till>nan remarked some time ago that if1 I'"-. I). Smith were elected to I lie 1'. S. I). Smith were elected to the U. S. senate I lie scat would not be vacant. PIw>rc is no doubt lliat the statement of Senator Tillman will be realized. The seat will not be vacant. Senator Smith is a man of ability and will make his presence felt in the senate. THE AMERICAN HUSBAND IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. His Wife is the Happiest Woman Oil Earth. The American husband is the best in the world says the Rev. Charles A.tked, I). 1)., in the November New Lien Woman's Magazine. He thinks more of his wife, makes more of his wife, gives more to his wife, than any other husband Mte world has ever known. Whether ho has the best wife in t ho world?bnt (hat is another story, Certainly the American woman has the most favored lot which has yet fallen to a human being. She has more to make her Impp\'?in ||(.|- own phrase, to give her "a good lime," than any other creature on the face of the earth. She lias less drudgery and more leisure than uny oil her woman. She h;i < more money to spend and better tilings on which to spend it. She has more freedom, independence, more power of initiative and of self-direction. She is a person of importance?and she knows it. The present writer is yet seeking :i female, person between the ages of seven and seventy upon this conl incut who does not regard herself as of the greatest consequence in the scheme of things. She quicllv assumes lliat she is somebody. The assumption is warranted in fad and conceded in practice. The American woman is, up lo the present moment, (bid's best piece of work, and there are no visible indications of outside improvements upon the product. The American girl can protect lierselI. She is not as easily led aslrav as the girl of many other countries. She is uo| as "innocent." in the absurd and con veil I iona I meaning of that much-abused word. She knows more. She can run alone. Slic is more ' <:.:;>!< Icly mistress of hcisclf. There is a higher standard of scvual morality in this country than in l lie old lands. I his may be safely affirmed in the face of ten thousand divorce scandals and all the. headlines of a <en-at ion loving press. Kor every unhappy uiarriaue of which the papers speak, there are a thousand about which it says nothing. I'Ul in the last analysis the American woman lias a better time than any other woman because she is?an American woman! To Clean Furs. Furs may be readily cleaned at home by rubbing them wit; 1 bran.

T made my own bolster roll from a discarded cheese box and a few thin strips of wood. The cheese box, of which only the top and bottom circles were used, was twelve inches in diameter, and the strips fiftvIhree inches long. The. strips were nailed around I he edges of the circles so as (o form a hollow cylinder of slate, with an opening on one side large enough to tuck the pillows away mlo while the Holster was iu use.
