E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Ne* erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, April 20, 1909. TROUBLE AT CLMSON. In another column we print a state ment from Capt. J. C. Minus in ref erence to conditions at Clemson Col lege. It makes very interesting read ing but it will be vell to have the other side before judgment is passed upon the statement which Capt. Minus makes. The Heral dand News phoned to Mr. Alan Johnstone, the president of the board of trustees, and asked him if he had any statement to make, and that if he did 'we would be glad to 'have it. His reply was " I have no statement to make." A BOY'S SISTER. Maud felt a glow of pleasure when Mr. Wisner, who was rising to go, told her how greatly he enjoyed the evenings he passed at her house. It was flatteringly pleasant to know that her society was found agreeable by the very interesting young electrical engineer, who had recently come to town as manager of the new trolley line of which her father was part owner. "I am a most domestic person," -he said, "and it's a real privilege to me to be allowed to visit here informal ly." He glanced appreciativ6ly at the pretty picture,s, quantities of books, and vases of flowers. "Do you know, this attractive room reminds me of our old library at home, where my sister and I passed some of the hap piest evenings of our lives. We used to play checkers, read aloud, and have all sorts of good times together. I always feil that I owe a world of gratitude to that dear sister of mine, who kept me so well entertained at home that I was never tempted to join the boys who went down town every night. There's nothing like a good sister to keep a lad out of mis chief, is there? I've .never had the pleasure of meeting your brother. He is out of town now, is he not '' It was a careless question, asked with no motive other than polite in terest, but it brought the color surg ing ino Maud 's face quite unexpect edly. "No, Arthur isn't away. He is out a' good deal. I 'hope he will be home tihe next time you come.'' A moment later, when Maud stood alone, her cheeks were still burning and she felt uncomfortable, as if she had been sharply areproved. She re membered with painful clearness the many evenings, that Arthur fidgeted restlessly about the ioom while she, engrossed in a novel, had only looked up long enough to inquire impatiently why he could not sit still. "Because," he had replied that very evening, "it makes a fdllowv ner vous to sit around with nothing to do ways busy upstairs 'at his laboratory 'work a.nd you with your everlasting reading, it's a pretty dull house, and I think I'll go out where there 's something doing." He 'had gone and Mr. Wisner had come and had been geeted with bright vivacity that might hiave surprised Arthur, who had left his sister .too absorbed in her book to notice his sulky departure. "I haven't the least idea where Arthur went," she said .to herself, drearily. "I never know where he is eveniings. Mother wouldn't have been so neglectful. She would have kept him ~happy at home. I haven't done what she would have expected of'me." Her eyes filled with tears as she thought of that dear one, who in years gone by had filled the home with the sunshine of 'love and har mony. "0 mother, forgive me," she said softly. "I'll try to do bettter; I'll try to do better."' -Kilbourne Cowles, in the Advanee. WHERE THE FIGHT IS STRONG. By iTer. Clelanid B. McAfee, D. D. It is great to be out where the fight is strong, To he where the 'heaviest troops be long, a ud to fight there for man and God. * 'xns the face and it tires t'he brain, It rhe arm till one's friend is I - Vh fo man end G~od. But it 's great to be out e' fight is strong, To be where the hIeave - - g merefor .-.The W THE IDLER. * * I feel like some one ought to give The Idler a rea'l good scolding or kicking or bumping or something. You know that was a good and timely letter of inquiry and suggestion from Inquirer, which will make thoughtful people think and the thoughtless, who will read, stand up and take notice, and I never even thanked Inquirer for helping me out and wren In quirer a.aked, "May I come again?'' I did not have the common politeness to answer. And then did you see the nice compliment Inquirer paid me. Said I was pretty well informed. Well, thank you, Inquirer, and beg pardon for not saying it before. My old brain is some times slow of ac tion and dull of comprehension, but I want to assure you, Dear Inquirer, that I appreciate what you say and will be de-e-lighted to have you come again. And if I cannot give you any information you may desire I will pass your questions on to the proper au thority, and if we keep on asking questions, we will wake up the right authority after awhile. -0 Your questions and the suggestions contained in them were alive and pointed and up-to-date and should have attention. -0 How would it do to ask Prof. Dreher to come up to Newberry and talk with our board or suggest that our board go to Columbia and talk with him. I am sure he would be glad to give information as to modern and up-to-date equipment. He has just been on a trip of investigation, and then he has had seventeen years' experience in Columbia. -0 But the red hot question now is the selection of the lot. It is amusing to hear the people express th-eir opinion. I heard a man say the other day it would be a great waste of the peo ple's money if the board didn't se lect a certain lot and he figured it out pretty quick how it- could all be done. It was not five minutes before I heard another citizen remark that it would be an outrage to select the very lot in question and he thought he newspapers ought to come out and say so. Wel.l, I will pass it up to the editor to tell the board where the most available lot' offered is. All I've, ot to say is that the lot ought not o be selected to suit or please any ne individual or because some one 2eeds the money for his or her prop rty and the board should not buy and or buildings that are not adapt d to the purposes for which t'hey are ought. We voted enough money to ~ive us a modern and up-to-date uilding with ample room and that is what we want and that is what we nust ,have and it should 'not all be ut in lots. -0 I hear that t'h-e citizens' committee s still acting with the board. I guess hat is alright, but the duties 'for: hich they were appointed, -ceased when the election was ordered. Of ourse, the board can counsel with any citizen and ask his or her advice, but the responsibility is on the board ad cannot be shifted. -0 No use to rush matters. We are uilding for the future and we should build well and carefully. Same as to selection of suitable location. -0 By the way, I understand that the petition asking an election on the sewerage question has a safe majori ty of g~he freeholders and the matter will 'be -certified to city council and the election ordered in a few days. Now, let's make the vote unanimous. -0 You know this is going to be a big town in five years or less. The New berry Cotton Mills is going to build Mill No. 2, with a minimum of ten thousand spindles; the Martin-Mower Mill is going to be built and Mollo hon will build No. 2 very soon, and then the C. C. & 0. railroad is com ing this way and all the bears and kickers and wiseacres that .we have c~n't keep us down. We have got the natural advantages and we are just now on the beginning of an era of greater development. -o Then it is barely possible that the government will be able within the next five years to determine on the loation of that government postoffice building. It may take a little longer, 3 t I think the question will probably be settled in five years. I mean the location. -0 same time the deal was made. The government better hurry up and buy one of these lots before the options expire or we will have to pay more money, for real estate is going up every day. Union had a big kick as to the lo cation over there, but the Union Times, I believe it is, says the thing to do is to forget these differenees. Some wanted it one place and some another. It would be very difficulti to locate a public building in any community the size of Newberry and please every one. In fact it would be safe to say that the majority would be largely with the dissatisfied element. It is always the case. -0 I want to see our building located. I suppose those of us who -rre- not pleased can manage to get to it, wherever the location may be. -0 A gentleman of this city has asked me if the town ordinance or the rules of the -board of health required water that had been used in washing clothes and other slops to be run on the street where it stands. Really, I don't know. I think I had a similar ques tion to this asked me once before. I passed it on to the proper authority, but have not received an answer. Maybe this authority does not want to answer me. Well, I am sure, I mean no 'harm in asking the ques -tion, but really and truly it does not add to the beauty of the street nor to the comfort of those neirby to have this kind of water dumped into the street. There is no disputing about tastes, however, and it may be that the proper authority thinks it does add to the beauty of the street. -0 Did you see the beautiful cloud of dust created Saturday afternoon when the paved streets were swept? If you did not you have something coming to you. -0 I read in a paper the other day where a man bought a 5 cents oyster sandwich and found in it a pearl worth $150. Now if Sam Jones would just advertise oyster sandwiches with pearls worth $150, wouldn't his sandwich business increase. It would be equal to selling ferns from .Bush river. But then all the sandwiches don't contain $150 pearls. Thre Amus-U-Theatre is playing to crowded houses and everybody says the entertainment is worth the money. I 'hope the patronage will warrant the young man in keeping it going. It is nice to 'have some place of innocent amusement in the city. What about getting t'he half of square in rear of the opera house for a wagon yard. It can be done and] those who want to keep the wagons near in would be satisfied. I suggest that the Civic Association look into this suggestion. The Idler. "I SHALL TELL THE TRUTH." Little James was one day sent with a pitcher for some water. He acci dentally dropped the pitcher and broke <it, and as it was a very valu able one, he felt very had about it. As he stood looking sad,ly at the broken pieces, another boy came along and asked what was the mat ter. J,ames told him, and he said: "Well, go home and tell your mother that a boy threw a stone at you, and broke the piteher.'' "No, I shall go home and tell mother that I dropped it and broke it." "But you will surely get whipped if you do. She will think you were careless." "I don't care if I do get whipped. I shall tell the, truth. I would rather take a dozen whippings than tell my mother a lie." Boys who tell the truth are not the ones who get the most whippings. It is the lying, deceiving, 'sneaking cow ard who hides things,, and lies about them, who comes to be suspected, dis trusted and finally punished. Put away lying.-Little Christaan. "So let our lips and lives express The holy Gospel we profess;, So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine." TEACHERS' EXAMTWATIONS.
