E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entbred at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday. November 3. 1908. It was a pleasure to see so many of our Saluda friends in Newberry Ple past -everal days. The steel bridge is again in service. We missed them while the bridge was out of comms si-n. This is their natural trade cen -tre and we are always glad to see them and hope they will come often to make up for the time they were eut off from us. A small farmer in Newberry coun ty told us the other day that he planted to make nine bales of cotton and would gather eight. He makes all he needs to eat on the farm and has paid the bank, the merchant, the preacher and the editor. He did not need the services of the lawyer or the dootor the past year. He is the kind of farmer of whom we need more in this country. He lives in the Jolly Street section-a mighty good coun try. A small farmer from Saluda told us last week that he planted only six acres in cotton but would gather five heavy bales. That is not bad, is it ? And then he was selling chickens at thirty cents a piece and eggs at twen :tv-five cents a dozen and could have sold many more than he had right here in Newberry for the cash. We need to raise more things to eat in this section. We can grow almost anything that is good in this coun try. Mr. S. M. Duncan raised corn at 21 1-2 cents a bushel and the yield was small-not more than half what can be raised per acre anywhere in Newberry county. And yet there are people who will say it does not pay to grow corn in this county. Cofn has been selling all the year at a dollar and- above per bushel. Then since we have discovered the new disease pellagra, it is not safe to -at bread from western corn, and good corn bread is mighty healthy. The rains on Wednesday and Thursday last week kept many people away from the State lair. Those who attended say the exhibits this year were better than usual. Every Democrat should go to the polls today and vote. It is important to cast a full vote even though the opposition in this State does not amount to anything. The farmers this year above all others should sow small grain. This is one way and the only way to get ahead and be independent. The eitizens meeting will be held tonight in council chambers to de cide upon the' rules and regulations governing the city primary. There should be a full meeting. Of .course the primary for the nomination of ~mayor and aldermen will be adopt ed. At present there is no opposition to Mayor Langford and as The Her ald and News stated sometime ago it is not probable that there will be any opposition. He has no doubt made some mistakes but upon the whole has made a good mayor. He is pro gressive and enterprising and one year is scarcely long enough to give opportunity to do much. The term should be two years and there should be two aldermen from each ward for a term of two years each. The following from the News and Courier is the same creed The Herald and News has been trying to proclaim for many years: "An intelligent and industrious man who owns a well stocked farm of average fertility in South Caro lina c'an earn a livelihood and save money withlout planiting an acre in cotton if he so wish. We do not ad vise that cotton planting be abandon ed, that would not be a wise depar ture. because cotton is and will con tinue to be a paying crop, but the man who does not diversify opposes the laws of nature that have been decreed for this land of hills and val leys, of diversified climate and soil.'' The farmer in this section should diversife? to the extent of growing what is needed for the farm on the farm. Then grow all the cotton pos sible regardless of the priec. Cotton our only money er'op orl rather the .only erop from which we can realize the cash at any time. And is the crop from which we should expect to get our money but it does us little good when thgt money has to go right RECEIVED APPOINTMENT. Mr. G. C.

The following is an extract from the (opening lectutre of Dr. Alfred Owre of the University of Minnesota which was delivered on September 14th. It is a tribute to Dr. J. 0. Wells. who died in August. Dr. Wells is a son of our towns people Mr. and Mis. Os. Wells and we are satisfied that this beautiful tribute to his, worth will be read with interest by the many friends of the family in Newberry: We arec about to begin the 21st an nal session. whell I make this an noneemeni- it is accompanied with a tone oIf 5Sadness,5 becauIse we shall miss two familar faces, we shall miss the activities of two men who have been a pat f ur oganizan for a donn m1 the pro t1lvIie pvrunet :i let mn say" lymed by all. has retired t he qiet country,,e life of Nw Jer sey.

I sometimes thiiik that those who sympathize in silence al do So very deeply. perhaps the sympathetic mood is niosi eli I eient I am sure thai w \rd will nut aid us much in expressing our sor row and our deepest feelings in re gard to Tr. Wells. It seems we can not realize that he has ceased to be active. nor believe that we shall not have his physical presence any more; such is our attitude. our tenacity with which we cling to life, so is sui preme friendship manifested,' and this indicates a continuation. in some way, of the higher attainments. We know he rests peacefully somewhere in i that great unknown, in that more per feet spiritual existence. Yet he lives here, among us. through his works and idealism. But in rendering to Professor Wells, on behalf tof the faculty, the honors which are due him, I will say nothing further .of my grief and theirs. Those who leave great names should not be celebrated by lamentations. but by manly praise and a sincere picturing of his life and work. Professor Wells was born Feb. 13, 1871 in Newberry. S. C.. where he liv ed the earlier and greater part of his life. He was educated there and re ceived his Bachelors degree from Newberry college in 1892, pursuing the regular collegiate course. He was I fond of the greek and latin classics. i and pursued his studies in the human ities. obtaining his second degree in letters in 1894. Part of this time and until 1896 lie taught in one of the secondary schools. With this extra- t ordinary equipment added to his I mechanical genius, he turned towards i a technical calling and decided upon I dentistry. Few men have entered the dental profession with such wonder ful preliminary preparation in science, culture. mechanics and even t in pedagogics. It was ideal, and suc- ' eess awaited him. He graduated with honors in 1899, was immediately ap- I pointed as a teacher in his alma mat- I er. He was made professor of Crown I and Bridge work in 1902, this chair f he held until his death. He had a i elear and definite idea of what uni- t versity work meant and conducted c his course accordingly. He did not I stop with good teaching only, he in vestigated and added to the world 's 5 knowledge. He impressed us with a his well defined scheme of life, his ; idealism and results. He loved per fection and lived to perfect things for a future state. He was an indefati gable worker not only in the univer sity, but in his office as well. It is difficult to measure the value of such lives; he did things so quietly, yet his influence was felt in many di- . rections. Dr. J. 0. Wells soon proved e that he was in the right place and master of the situation at all times. He was courageous and never waited for others to take the initiative, he never postponed when vigorous action was necessary. He was a man of cool judgment and conservative when it was wise to be so. He was prom inent in Dental Association affairs and few meetings were ever held without his active presence; lie was president of the Minnesota Dental Association in 1905. He was with us so recently, it seems I cannot say all I want to say now, but those of us who wvorked with him know well his real worth and remarkable power. By his death dentistry has sustain ed a most severe less, not easily re placed, the university one of her abl est sons, aind best equipped teachers. We shall all inoa.rn him for his noble ~ attributes; we shall miss his loyal friendship and wise counsel. Our onl Ily consolation lies in the fact that he has reached a higher spiritual dlevel opment and that we shall always fee) this highier presenice and influence. One of Carlvhe's most beautiful pas sagzes seems to fit in here: "What. then, is mnan! What, then. is man. He endures but for an hiopr. and is eruished before the moth. Yet in the being and ini the working of a faithful mian is there already (as all faith from the beginning gives as surance) a something that pertains not to this wild death element of time; that triumphs over Time, and is, and will be, when Time shall be no more."
