E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, Septenber 11, 1908. KNOCKING THE EDITOR. If you don't just like everything you see in your home paper, g around the streets and howl. Th< editor is never supposed to make a mistake, and of course cannot do so Other people can, but the editor is ubiquitous, .omniscient, mnipresent "omniverous." If you can't see 2 good point, don't fail to see a bat one. If a thousand pleasant thing are said of people, hunt for some thing unpleasant. If you don't fin< it howl some more; if you do, how anyway. Never mind your own busi ness; watch for something to finc fault with in some other man': business. This will make you great -Elberton Star. Under this standard there are ver: few in this community who have at tained greatness. In this communit: everybody attends to his owi business and never has time tc know what other people are doing We have no cne who is idle, ac therefore there is no mischief made Everybody says pleasant things abou everybody else and no one ever find fault but we all have pleasant word, even for our enemies, that is if any body had time to have an enemy Everybody likes everything he see in the paper anid if there should bi anything in the paper he doesn't likE he fails to see it. Nobody stands 01 the street corner and therefore therE are no howlers. We are afraid tha we cannot claim any greatness i we are to be measured by the stan dard of the Elberton Star. Wonde if there are any people in Newberr; who fit the description and stan dard of greatness set by the Elber ton Star. Nobody has a hammer ii Newberry so far as we know. We are glad to note the election . Practor A. Bonham as solicitor o the 12th eircuit and congratulat him on the v:ictory. We have onl: an aequaintance with him but hi father, Gen. M. L. Bonham, has bee our life time friend and the youn man comes of good stock and wil make good. The Index broke all previous re cords in getting the election return this time. The complete vote o Greenwood county was received i the Index office in one and one-hal hours after the polls had closed. Fin business, eh " To those who faithfu: ly and loyally assisted us in bein able to make this fine showing, ur equalled in the State, the Inde makes its best bow. No wonder th crowds around the bulletin board hurrahed for the Index.-Greenwoo Index. The Herald and News had the re turns and an extra printed givin the tabulated vote by seven o'cloe sufficiently complete to give the re suit as to the county. Several pre einets were missing but we made n special effort to get them and the did not change the result. But nc body applauded The Herald an News though the erowds were aroun the office in' full force. We hay been so in the habit of doing thi for the past twenty years that n1 one seemed to think it extraordinar or more thain they expected. It wa just what every body expected. I we had not done so probably ther would have been kicking and knoek~ ing, but as we did it nobody aj plauded or thought it more than w ought to do. No doubt they appre ciated it as much .as if they ha made a noise about it. The good roads association need to get busy now and see if we ear not devise some plan to get a goo macadam road built by every man door and then every body will favo the scheme, but if not many will or pose the plan because maybe som one will get a little more benefi than some one else. The automobile enthusiasts shoul get in behind the city fathers an see if we cannot get something don to improve our streets. The countr roads as bad as they are are searcel as rough as our streets. The elections are all over now a.n we hope everybody can get down t business and those who have bee preaching that all differences whic may have been caused in the het oIf the campiaign be for2gotten wi practice what the prem-.i We have heard that Senator Til I . Si! Ki were c"~1c" i rL.S D. Smith were elected to the U. S. I toh senate the seat would not be v%ait. There is no doubt that the t aitcnch t i Ad of Senator Tillman will be realized. The seat will not be vacant. Sena- 4t tor Smith is a man of ability and will make his presence felt in the sent ate. ST THE AMERICAN HUSBAND IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. ree His Wife is the Happiest Woman the On Earth. Lib -- be The American husband is the best reo in the world says the Rev. Charles wa Atked, D. D., in the November New ] Idea Woman's Magazine. He thinks sel more of his wife, makes more of his Ca wife, gives more to his wife, than be any other husband the world has vir ever known. Whether he has the of best wife in the world-but that is hei another story. Certainly the Ameri- or can woman has the most favored lot in< which has yet fallen to a human be- IN ing. She has more to make her hap py--in her. own phrase, to give her "a good time," than any other crea ture on the face of the earth. She has less drudgery and more leisure than (S any o,ther wman. She has raore money to spend and better things on which to spend it. She has more free dom, independence, more power of initiative and of self-direction. She is a person of importance-and she B' knows it. The present writer is yet seeking a female person between the ages of seven and seventy upon this continent who does not regard her self as of the greatest consequence in the scheme of things. She quietly tin assumes that she is somebody. The foi 1 assumption is warranted in fact and conceded in practice. The Americani an F woman is, up to the present moment, bel God's best piece of work, and there by are no visible indications of outside improvements upon the product. re - The American girl can protect her- ta self. She is not as easily led astray i as the girl of many other countries. thr She is not as "innocent," in the ab- 19 surd and conventional meaning of pe that much-abused word. She knows sa more. She can run alone. She is more f compictely mistress of herself. There an is a higher standard of sevual moral- va ity in this country than in the old at lands. This may be safely affirmed vi tin the face of ten thousand divorce scandals and all the headlines of a of sensation-loving press. For every un- an happy marriage of which the pap ers speak, there are a thousand about. which it says nothing. fBut in the last analysis the Ameri-l can woman has- a better time than f fany other woman because she is-an eAmeican woman! sa To Clean. Furs. -Furs may be readily cleaned at fo Shome by rubbing them with bran. w< eLight is more troublesome than a wi sdarker kind, but it is worth the Tc trouble and costs so little! Buy a is pound of. bran at grocery or feed C< -store. Divide it into two portions, is Splacing one in the oven to heat. ra SSpread the fur on table, put paper ed -underneath, and rub it well with 01 -cold bran. Shake free of bran and Sbrush with soft hat-brush. Then rub ha Sthe hot bran quite evenly into the re -fur, going over it with infinite pat- th ience. Afterward brush, then hang in N< the air. If the lining be soiled clean fr ewith a little gasoline, being careful an snot to dampen the fur.-New Ide:a vi )Woman's Magazine for October. re in To Make a Bolster RolL I made my own bolster roll from p1 a discarded cheese box arid a few thin strips of wood. The cheese box, I of which only the top and bottom circles were used, was twelve inches at in diameter, and the strips fifty- ( three inches long. The strips were ti< nailed around the edges of the cir- o eles so as to form a hollow cylinder of slate, with an opening on one th side large enough to tuck the pillows ne away into while the Bolster was in use. A piece of heavy wire clothes line formed a circle about the cen ter of the cylinder, to give strengtl th and prevent sagging. First the ends f of th,e bolster were padded, then the t cylinder was covered, both inside and 1 out, with coarse white muslin, when it was ready for the final decorative y touches.-New Idea Woman's Maga- s Zine. y co NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT al: AND DISCHARGE. at jNotice is hereby given that I will co make a final settlement of the per sonal estate of Benjamin F.
