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

TRIBUTE TO DR. WELLS.
Delivered at Opening of the Univer
sity of Minnesato.
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

is a cnIsolatioll. but how to express it
is often very diflicult. 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."

takes a drin1k. the dryink takes the
