E. H. AULL, EDITOR.
Entered at the Postoffice at New
berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter.
Tuesday, April 13, 1909.
They say that Aorii 1 was a very
quiet day at Clemson this year. Very
much like any other day in April. It
it well.
The price of beer has. been raised
in Charles,ton. There are several con
ventions seheduled for Charleston
during April and May.
Harvey Jordan says the Cotton As
sociation is dead. When all the lead
ers got good jobs it was no longer any
need on their part to keep it alive.
So far as they are concerned it has
served its purpose, and to them has
served it well.
Congresman A. F. Lever won his
figJit for the farmers not only of
South Carolina but wherever com
menial fertilizer is used. By the way,
who can tell who the other members
of Congress from South Carolina are.
We are proud of Lever. He is ai
tle Newberry College boy.
It is stated in the Atlanta papers
that the "law firm of Anderson,
Felder, Rountree and Wilson will re
ceive between $150,000 and $200,000
as their fee for their services in win
ning the famous South Carolina Dis
pensary Commission case, recently
decided in the favor of their clients,
and involving about $1,000,000 in
cash on hand, and between $2,000,000
and $3,000,000 in claims."
We do not know whether this is
t.ru4 or not but we are inclined to
think that the amount of the fee
stated is somewhat exaggerated.
Sen~atorSmith is preparing to make
a hard fight against the 20 per cent.
tairiff duty on potash and kainit salts.
If the proposed duty on this ferti
lizer ingredient becomes a law, it
means the takig from the pockets
of the farmers $200,000 annually.
The necessary information will be
furnished the' Senator, . and 'the peo
p}e of the -South can feel assured
there will be a fight to the finish to
prevent this iniquity from being
forced upon a class of people who are
burdened already more than any oth
er one class.-Manning Times.
Whil'e Senator Smith was getting
ready to make the fight Representa
tive Lever won the battle and from
'the news reports from Washington
Mr. Lever seems to be about the only
representative up there froin South
Carolina who made any fight for the
taking out of the tariff bill the 20
per cent on potash and kainit salts.
Florence is about to hold a sewer
age bond election, and a petition is
being signed by. freeholders to bring
.this abont. In Charlestoil a petition
is also being prepared for a similar
election, and Florence should, not be
'allowed to beat Charleston to .the
ballot.-Charleston Post.
make it unanimous. T'iere is no de
.tition for 'the same cause and she
must not let either Charleston or
Florence beat her to the ballot.
The extension of the sewerage sys
tem in Newberry is an absolute
:necessity and we just as well meet
the issue fairly and squarely and
make it unanimous. There is no be
batable ground on the question at all.
We are up against it and tlie quicker
we get to work the better.
Representative Lever, who is es
pecially the friend of th.e farmer, hag
succeeded in keeping the duty off
potash, which would have increased
the cost of fertilizer materially. Now
if he will hold the duty on rice and
sea island cotton he will please the
farmer some more. Being a low tariff
Democratic. Congressman must be a
nice, delicate job.-Chiarleston Post.
Just what we have claimed all the
time. The tariff is purely local. If
& sh~ would be beneiited by a
protective tariff, then we would be
for a protective tariff. The hosiery
-mlre u rging the tariff on hosiery
and the people who wear them want
theni as cheap as they can get them.
We congratuiate Mr. Lever on the
victory he won for the farmers of the
South, all the same.
It is stated that the railroad com
mission has ordered the Southern
Railway, Columbia and Greenville
division, to run an extra coach on its
trains between Greenwood_ and Green
ville.
We have seen this train very much
crowded between Greenwood and Co
lumbia and we would be glad if
the railroad commission could induce
the Southern railway to resume for
the summer at least itS chair-car ser
vice between Greenville and Colum
bia.
It was claimed that this service did
not pay, but it was never given suffi
cient -trial to see whether it would
pay.
A car something like the one which
is operated between Asheville and
Charleston, being an accommodation
buffet car, would be a great conven
ience to the travelling public between
Greenville and Columbia, and cer
tainly 'the travel between these two
points on. the C. and G. road is as
heavy as it is -on .the road between
Spartanburg and Columbia.
The Herald and News has been at
considerable disadvantage for the
past several days owing to the fact
that Mr. James L. Aull, who is in
charge of the mechanical department,
is confined to his room with measles,
and the young man who had been
operating our machine accepted a po
sition with the Columbia State.
Mrs. Clarence Gaxvin, who is in
Newberry on a visit, and who op
erated the machine for us some years.
ago, 'has kindly consented to assist us,
and we were fortunate in securing
Mr. Edward Moore, of Greenwood.
In this way we have managed to
get the paper out on time, a~nd will
endeavor to keep up our job depart
ment as best we can.
Died-Mrs. Karon Perry,
March 19, 1909, in her seventy
seventh year. Her maiden name was
Merchant. She was first married. to a
Mr. Jennings, by whom she had three!
daughters. Next, to James Perry, by!
whom she had five daughters and one
son, our well-known townsman, Thos.
Perry.
This good woman mothered -the
whole neighborhood and was -loved.
far and near, by rich and poor, white'
and black. The unusually large at
tendance at her funeral was a touch
ing evidence of her great popular'ity.
She died of heart dropsy and was
buried at Bethany Church, of which
she had long be'en a devoted and con
sistent member.
On her seventy-fifth~ birthday she
had a family reunion at the old home
stead, two milet from Perry 's Cross
Roads.
There were five generations repre
sented, and over two hundred people
present. .
"To live in hearts 'we leave be
hind,.is not to die,'' and this good wo-1
man, who, like Dorcas, made gar
ments for. thi needyT, find helped to
lift bu-rdenis from many a troubled
heart, still ever live in t-he'haedrts and
memory of those who knew and* loved
her.
Her beaut.ital li.: ~was worthy of
emulation,- and was a blessing and
benedibtion to all around her.
*PIANO RECITAL.
At' the Opera House Friday Evening
by Prof,. Landrum.
Prof. Landrum, the great pianist,
will appear in the opera house on
Friday evening the 16th.
Prof. Landrium plays with a capti
vating grace and his recitals a.re very
artistie. lie appeared in the music
world qunite early, givin:g his first per
formance at the age of seven. For
ten years he studied under fine Ger
man professors; and in addition to
this he is natu-rally an artist.
In Augusta he is the noted Ponce
de Leon concert pianist. He was
chosen at Tampa out from many mu
sicians as pianist for Bryan day and
William Jennings Bryan said of him,
-lIe is an arVtist, indeeCd.' This was
high praise from nn who had heard
the beCst p)erformner~s of many lands.
Don 't miss this rare musical treat.
The proceeds from these recitals are
tor the pu1rp)se of a spcCial course

THE IDLER.
* *
The Idler has lived in this town
a good many years. Just how many
.years does it matter. Ijong en
ough to see the town grow from 3
000 to 8,000 people. eNver having a
much abdut accumulating wealth, or
rather I should say not having a
great deal to do and not caring
genius for money making or money
saving, I have had opportunity to
observe men and things and I have,
according to my ability, always tried
to :help on every good cause and have
not envied those who accumulatel
wealth. I have managed to get' three
fairly good meals each day and have
been able ta sleep and have thehggg
been able to sleep well at night. But
money, I have not cared much for
it, except to spend it for those things
I needed and wanted.
-0
You know this is a pretty good
town; but it has, unfortunately, some
very small people and some very nar
row gauge epople in it. I guess that is
true of every community, but you
know this town has been an education
al centre for more than half a century
and it should have broadened its
citizenship and made its people, and
especially its business people, see be
yond the confines of their own selves
and further out than the ends of their
stubby noses.
-0
Now I do not intend to be person
al, especially as my identity is not
made known, and I am coming to ;he
point after awhile if there is a point
to what I am trying to say.
-0
Permit me to repeat, this is a good
town and I love it. A good many
of my idle days have been spent bere
and it is now my purpose to spend
the remainder allotted to me here,
and while I am only a small atom
in the make up of the community,
and have never accomplished any
thing myself, my leisure has given
me an opportunity for observation.
I wonder sometimes if it is tne
same elsewhere. Of course that same
selfish spirit pervades humanity
wherever it is found.
-0
Here is what I want to say: Just
lt anybody start any movement to
:1o something which will benefit the
whole community and you will hear
somebody, and several somebodies,
all about in spots make remarks that
are calculated to injure the enter
rise. These remarks may be made
in the same breath with the declara
.ion that they want the enterprise to
succeed,but they don 't think 'the right
man is at the 'head of it, or he is
oo slow, or something else, but all
he time they protest their great in
erest in the success of the enter
rise.
It does not occur to me that is
he way to help build up , the com
nnity. You know -what it means
o say he is a good fellow and then
add with a sh:rug of t'he shoulders and
a wink of the eye, but-You know
what that means.
-o
I want to see everybody get to
ether and stop saying unkind things
f others and especially those'others
who are trying to do something.
Newberry has a lot of gentlemen
f leisure, and, of course, that gives
pportunity to look after the affairs
f other people. It is best for every
body to have something to do and
then go -at it in 'earnest. You know
if you want to get anything done
ou can accomplish it much quicker
and more satisfactorily if you take
the busy man.. The man who has no
employment never has time. That may
seem paradoxical, btit it is literally
true.
I hear that efforts are being made
to build another cotton mill. Every
man, woman and child in Newberry
should give the movement encourage
ment and support. You know the
town has got to the point where it
is necessary to increase the pay roll
if the city is to grow any more. It
is these pay rolls that keep the town
moving and the merchants busy. In
fact they are the blood and the
arteries and everything else. Some
thing' that keeps the cash moving.
The fellow w'ho locks his money up in
the bank vaults, and lives on the
little interest isn't worth much to
the life of the community.
-0
Every merchant in the town, big
and little, every clerk, whether his
or he.r 'salary is great or small, s. :ould
take some stock in the mill. If there
is no prospect for any dividends for
ten yearis thle investment will pay.
Th:e pay roll of ichl mill wh il, buiild
ing~ and wJwn inl operation will giv'e
moe trade to the merchant and an
i'u'ware ina salary' to the clerk. It
one-man, eart, fo.r cleaiiiiig the paved
streets will soon arrive. I want to
see th experiment tried. Some
times they sweep without sprinkling
and the dust and microbes and germs
from the street fill the air and the
stores and offices and I do not think
these are conductive to good health.
-Q
What about setting apart that
general cleaning up day. Or is the
town ideally clean already? I really
don't know, for the sun is beginning
to come out and I don't like to walk
about much but what few places I
have seen, it seems to me, a little
cleaning up would not be detrimen
tal to the appearance or the health
of the city.
I heard somebody say that th.e city
was going to pass or had passed an
amendment to the trash ordinance. I
have not seen it publishel so I sup
pose it was a mistake.
-0
By the way, I heard a man ask the
other day who was alderman in a
certain ward and nobody could tell
him for some time, until he had op
portunity to study over the situation.
How many who read this can tell who
are the aldermen, even the wards in
which they live. I want to see every
alderman get busy and look after the
interest of his ward and the whole
town.
-0
When I went to the post office the
other day I saw Jno. Mayes with his
coat off plowing and crushing clods
on the Methodist church lot. I sup
pose he has planted something aic!
wa may expect a pretty lawn
there soon. Hope he has put out
some of those roses which he bjught
some time ago so that with the grass
we may have some pretty flowers
also.
I wonder vhat has become of i:at
pst office building. I saw by ;he
paper that the site at Uniuz bad al
ready been selected. Bi-i were in
vited from Newberry abo.Lt .-c same
time.
That Methodist church lot is the
rost desiraw, p. foe t .e ne,. p,t
office buil3u g But some L..s n it
is too small. i. an sure a building
could be put on there suitable for
the post ofiee and give hitehing room
for the carriers, that would accom
modate this town for twenty-five
ears. I am making no suggestions
because I know I have no influence
with the powers that be.
-0
It is only a question of time when
the Union passenger station will be
moved to Caldwell Street. ~There is
where it ought to have been put when
the question was -agitated a short,
while ago. Mir. Childs said if -it
were located there he would have
been willing to build a nice brick
station. He has built a nice one at
Clinton-a much ,smaller town than
Newberry.
-o
fBy the way, Jno. Mayes :has re
eived that carload of ferns from
Bush riyer and he has nearly solti.
them out already. I saw a man from
right -down on Cannon's creek, where
there are lots of ferns, buy two or
three the other day from Jno. Mayes.
They a.re nearly all sold and if you
want one you better come quick to
Maves Book Store.

Death of a Young Ma!
After a short illness, of measles
and pneumonia, Mr. Thaddeus Rich
ardson died on Mar. 31. The follow
ing day his body was laid t'o rest, in
St. Paul's graveyard, his pastor, Rev
J. A. Sligh conducting the funeral
service.
He leaves father, mother, sisters,
brothers and a ihost of friends to
mourn his death, but why shou.ld
they mourn, for God in His infinite
love, power and wisdom sawv lit tc>1
take this brigle? young man 'from
among you, that He might add ano
tier to. His home in glory.
Our deepest sympathy is extended
to the bereaved family who knew him
best and loved him most.
ACTUAL STARVATION.
The Gilder and Weeks Drug Co. Give
Facts Regarding Dyspepsia.
Although Indigestion and Dyspep
sia are so prevalent, most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and cure. There is no reason
why people should not eat anything
they desire-if they will only chew
it carefully and thorougihly. Many
actually starve t-hemselves into sick
ness through fear of eating every
o. d-IA oking, g ood-smngiling and good
tasting food. because it do.es not agree
with thlem.
Dieting~ cannot cure Dy)spepsia. If
we refuse every article of food that

have nothing left, and find ourselves
chronic dyspeptics.
We can cure Dyspepia. We are
so confident of this fact that we guar
antee a cure and promise to supply
the medicine free of cost to everyone
who will use it, who is i:at perfectlj
satisfied with the results whieh it
produces. We exact no promises and
put no one under any obligations
whatever. Surely, nothing could be
fairer. We are located right here in
Newberry, and our reputation should
be sufficient assurance of the genuine
ness of ou-r offer.
We want everyone in Newberry
who is troubled with Indigestion or
Dyspepsia in any form to come to our
store and get a box of Rexall Dyspep
sia Tablets. Take them home and give
them .a reasonable trial according to
:irections. They are very pleosant
to take; they soothe the irritable
stomach, st.rengthen and invigorate
the digestive .organs, promote a
ealthy and natural bowel action,
immediately relieve nausea and all
stoma'ah ir:dtion, produce perfast
ad Le-' by digestion and assimib
tion' and promote autrition.
A 25 cent package of Rexall DJys
ppsia Tablets furnishes 15 days'
treatment. In 'ordinary cases, this is
ufficient to produce a enre. In more
hronic cases, a longer .i ment, of
ourse, is necessary, and depends
pon the severity of the trouole. For
such cases, we have two larger size.s
which sell for 45 cents and 89 eents.
