E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New 4erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, March 26, 1909. Coingratula,tipns to the new city council for refusing to grant license to a carnival company. That was among your first acts, we believe; it is certainly among your best. Lau rens does not need any carnivals. Laurens Advertiser. The earnival was here. Better if it had not been. But it has quietly folded its tents and departed. We do not think the earnival helps any community. We reproduce from the State news paper an editorial explaining the at titude of Mr. C. M. Galloway, the private secretary of Senator Smith, towards the labor union. We do this with pleasure because we feel that it is due Mr. Galloway that the explanation should be given wide publicity. We did not print the criticism of Mr. Galloway's ap pointment which appeared in some of the papers. Mr. Galloway deserves credit for what he has accomplished and we are satisfied that the criticisms which have been made of him are not well founded. The Herald and News is delighted that the citizens of this community and the property owners have declar ed themselves by so handsome a ma jority in favor of having for this community the very best school fac ilities that it is possible. We hope now that every citizen in the community will cooperate with every other citizen of the community in an effort to get the very best equip me-nt in the way of buildings and Then the very best equipment in the way of teachers so that our schools in every phase of school life may have a reputation far and wide as the very best that can b)e had. We believe that the voting of the bonds for the improvement and en largement of our school system mea.ns the voting of bonds for the enlarge ment and extension of our sewerage system, and also for the improve ment of our strets and sidewalk. Having taken one step in the march~ of progress, the next step is always much easier. We sincerely believe that the endorsement given the en largement of our schools by the pro perty owners of this commu.?ity means much for the advancement of *the community in other respects. President Wright of the chamber of commeree publishes a card in today's paper in which he states in his opin ion the prospects for securing the C., C. & 0. railroad through Newberry are very, good, and he also states if we miss this opportunity to secure a trunk line we. are probably letting; slip the last opportunity that will ev er come our way.. Having this information we sire cerely hope that every citizen of the community will do all in his power to *assist in getting this road for New berry. The dista.nce from Spartanburg to Columbia via Newberry is very little snore than it is to come down BroadI r'iver and in addition to coming by a commercial center like Newberry, which would not be on the road if built down the river, the cost of con struction and of maintenance will be a great deal less because from- Spar tanburg to Columbia via Newberry there will be no swamps through which ~to build the road and on the other hand we will have a ridge prae-~ tically all of the way. -Every member of the chamber of commeree should at.tend the meeting tonight and every business man in the community who is not a member should become one tonight. What we want in this community above almost everything else especial lv in a commercial way is a united effort of our people, everybody pull ing together for the advancement of the city. * * ~ THE IDLER. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Idler most sincerely congrata lates the trustees of the graded school, the citizens committee, the "coadju tors," the Observer, and the whole community *on the result of t: e ele tion on school bonds on Wednesday. Everybody should be happy now. It means much for Newberry-more than the expenditure of a few paltry dollars. Let everybody get busy now to make this the best little city in South Carolina. Nothing will he' so much as a first-class wrell equipped school. -0 The vote tas not large but the na jority was safe. Now, Mr. Trustees, permit The Idler to make a suggestion. When you go to work on these im provements keep the public in yoar confidence and print full reports or the information of the taxpayers just how the money is spent. Don't 6elcet the sites for the new buildings to please any one individual but for the best interests of the school. Eliatin ate all personal equations. -0 The Idler does not have a grcat deal to do, you know, and has prac tically no personal interest in the school, except as a humble citzen who has lived in Newberry a geod many years and who wants to see tte city keep in the forefront, but I was mmused and yet pained to hear sone f the objections raised against the voting of the bond issue and by some people whose taxes would have amounted to nothing almost, and yet with several ehildren hungering for an education. -0 I-heard of one who objected to the "high tax" and the "debt ridden" aity increasing the burden and when .t was figured out to him h- tax would be in.ereased eight cents a year and he has two or three children in ;he school. -0 But let everybody no - cooperate with the board and hol1 up their bands and iiiist on them giving us ap-to-date buildings and firsc class quipment on the inside. -0 It is time to begin the agitation for he extension of the sewerage. Now hlat the school is safe there will be 10o trouble in voting the fonds for ~he extension of sewerage. Every s&pyer oughV to have the privilege f sewerage and the septic tank ough' o be moved. --- By the way, I hear that Aldermani 3reen has got council to agree to let im build that bridge across Scott's reek in College street. He didn't et the bridge up by Saturday night ut he most did it. I told you whee ver Alderman Green went afier a hing in the- right way he generaJ4 ot it. The citizens on that side of~ he city will have the bridge pretty soon. -o Now, Mr. -Aiderman Green, what a.out that sidewalk crossing in Col ege street over Harrington? I want ou to go after that next and I am mre you will get it, too. You know Supervisor Feagle will soon work his way from the Chap ells bridge to Newberry and that ourt house square will be fixed up ad the Bermuda grass will be plant d and the crossings around there ust be in keeping. -0 A eitizen of the city has sent The dler an admonition to a -certain class vho inhabit every community. I on't know whether he is striking at 'he Idler or not a.nd if he is I don't are for I am going on saying what :>eeurs .to me about this town and it is up to the editor whether he wijl print it or not. I am not going t o reflet to any one or be personal but I am1 going to suggest and comme.id and if they want to call me a knocker, alrighit. .You will find me a.lways on the side of progress. But here is the admonition:' "Knocker: If more of these -- would attend to their own busines we would laave a better town and if they haven't any business, go to work for somebody who can give them something to do.'' -0 Now, all The Idler has got to say to this fellow is that he should know, if he doesn't, that it is a pretty good job to attend to the other feiio': business. And besides, the knokeer has his good qualities and serves a purpose. Things would got rusty if he were to go out of busine3s. A gentleman told me the other day that there was a. small farmer down on Broad river who had beecn facmi;g )A~.bnt but three sa.-k a W -r crnl in all I at ihne. I bi)Ie he said his name swas J.

But then I reckon ever- thin is righ-t or it wouldn't be as it is. I heard a good sermon the other Sundax in which the preac.her said it was a sin to borrow trouNle: that yesterday was gone and tomorrow never came; that we must live everyday and do Dur duty as its comes; that sufficient nuto the day was the evil thereof; and I concluded the preacnr was rIi. Every day has trou!.W' enoughn of its :wn. -0 "Then Jacob said unto his houise bold. * * be clean, and change your ;arments.' -Genesis 33.2.

I hope the Ledger doesn't mean 1o ;ay they have been waiting for sewer ige to change their garments. But. Gafney should have had sewerage ong ago. The Idler would like to suggest hat two gang planks be placed on -ourt square from the side walk to ;he new court house. That one is oo narrow for passengers going in )pposite directions.

The movement for the erection of i monument to the women of the Con Eederacy was started several years igo through the United Confederate Veeterans. In 1905 a general order was issued >y the commander of the Confeder te veterans providing for the ap >oint*ment by each camp of a commit :ee to collect funds <towards the erec :ion of a monument memorial to the vomen of the Confederacy. The or ler was general order No. 34. At a meeting of the James D. iance camp held on January 13. 1906, at which time exercises were eld in commemoration of General [ee 's birthday, Col. 0. L. Schumpert, idjtant of the camp, read this gen ~ral order and the following commit ee from the James D. Nance camp was appointed: R. T. C. Hunter, W. 3. Sligh, W. B. Franklin, B. F. Grif in, and 0. .L. Schumpert. Col. Schumpert, of this committee. .mmediately went to work and col eted for this fund $47.30, which he ieposited in the Newberrv Savings Bank. Mr. W. B. Franklin, another one :>f the committee, c.olected $12.35, vhich was also deposited in the New erry Savings Bank. The other mem ers of the committee have not done mything Or collected any funds but :hey will now go to work. The agitation at present in regard :o raising a memorial to the women >f the Confederacy following an ap propriation by the legislature of 7500 on condition that an equal imount was raised by voluntary con tribution, reminded Col. Schumpert f the action of the James D. Nance samp three years .ago, and upon in uiry it was found that the amounts bove named were on deposit in the N~ewberry Savings Bank to the credit f this fund. The interest on the de posit amounts to $6.23, and the fund at present is $65.88. Col. Schumpert has the list of the names of thosd who contributed and that list and the amounts given by each is printed in this connection. Mr. Franklin has since died and if be had a list giving the names of the rontributors, we have been unable to find it. This amount makes a pr.tty good nucleus for this fund, and when the committee appointed by the John M. Kinard camp have completed their canvass, the fund which Col. Schum pert has will be turned over to the proper authorities. The committee appointed by the John M. Kinard camp is composed of Jno. M. Kinard. F. N. Martin, J. N. McCaughrin, Floyd Bradley, W. G. Mayes, F. H. Dominick, L. W. Jones, W. F. Ewart. It is pretty safe to predict that Newberry will contribute her pro rata to this worthy cause. The following is a list which Col. Schumrpert has: Wo hereby contril>ute tllroi'ill iIle James D. Nan"e Camp, U. C.

Roosevelt, the present situation in the house and upon the new ad ministration, said: "Roosevelt narrowly es5caped being a great man, but his want of sincer ity and earnestness made him really ne of the greatest failures that has ever occupied the white house. As the time approached for congress to adjourn and the opportunity to show Roosevelt in his true colors approach ed I began to seriously consider whether it was worth while." Senator Tillman said that the ac tion of the house of representatives and the senate committee on appro riations both charged Roosevelt with falsehood, and that he himself "had much evidence collected" to prove that he (Mr. Roosevelt) had no re ard for the truth. "When I could have produced tILe evidence." Mr. Tillman continued, "I knew a lot of people would charge me with being actuated by malice and a desire for revenge, and there fore my attitude would be discredit ed. So I finally decided to leave him alone.'" Speaking of the "insurgents"' movement in the house, Mr. Tillman said: 'I was surprised to learn of the bolters' venality and cowardiee.

Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the blood. But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all urie acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't dally with "uric acid sol vents." You might go on till dooms day with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. oan 's Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is end ed. Here is Newberry testimony to prove it: Mrs. M. Q. Chappell, 929 Fair St.? Newberry, S. C., says: "I suffered from rheumatism and kidney trouble for several years. There was much pain in the small of my back, I had frequent. dull headaebes and felt generally miserable. My kidneys were weak and caused me added annoy ance. Several weeks ago I decided ta try Doan 's Kidney Pills and procur ed .a supply at W. E. Pelham & Son's drug store. Threy have already given. me great relief and I am going to continue using them. feeling confident that they will entirely dispose of my trouble. I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as a fine remedy for weak kidneys." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. F'oster-Milburn Co., Buft'alo, New York. sole agents for the United States.
