E. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Ilerry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, May 14, 1909. We notiee in the Greenville News of yesterday that it is rumored upon what the News says is good authority that President Mell will send in his resignation as president of Clemson college to the next meeting of the board of trustees. President Mell. however, states that such rumor is, rwithout authority from him, but does :ot deny the truth of the rumor. According to The State of yester day the contributions to the Confed erate monument fund have reached over $6,000. The monument is now a,-ured and much credit is due The Stte for arousing an interest in this most worthy cause. Newberry has contributed $216.20 and is ninth in the list of countids contributing. Richland leads with $608. We do not understand why none of the pupils of the graded school en tered the contest for the medal given by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Certainly our school authorities ought to encourage the pupils to study our own history, and there is no way bet ter to, impress that history upon the pupil's mind that to require that the pupil write something about it. In this way they are forced to make original investigations and to study the events and the men that have eontributed in. the making of that history. We have recently been in Abbeville and have passed through Greenwood. We have also been in other of the old county seat towns where the court house square is a main feature. In former days these open squares were used as wagon yards. We do not now recall where in one of these towns the wagon yard remains ex cept in Newberry. In Abbeville a very pretty park, whieh is planted in grass and in the center of which is one of the hand somest Confederate.- monuments in the State, has been made, and the .wagon yard has been moved to some 'other place. The same is true of Greenwood and lAnderson and Darlington and a num ber of other cities that have public squares. Wre do think it is time for Newberry to do something and get rid of the wagon yard in the public square. The Herald and News in this is sue prints the names of the boys in this county who have undertaken the cooperative and demonstration work outlined by the government. There -are 130 -boys in this list, 61 who are going to plant corn, and 69 who are going to cultivate cotton. We .think this will probably do more good in stimulating an interest in farming and a desire to remain up on the farm than anything that has been undertaken by the government. If we .ean get our boys interested in a scientific and intelligent culti vation of corn and cotton we will have taken a long step towards the improvement of the farm and a desire to remain on the farm. In addition to furnishing seed and instruction to the boys as to the cul tivation of their half acre the. gov ernent has offered a trip to Wash ington, the details of which are print ed in this paper. The Herald and News is going to offer a few small prizes to the boys in this county, both to those wvho c-ultivate cotton and those who cul tivate corn. We have not completed our arrangements but we want to give notice to these 130 boys that we are going to give several small prizes. We want to encourage t-nem. We understand that probably the county board of education and the county superintendent will also of fer some pr'izes. What is needed most in this coun try todayv is thiat which will build up the rural districts and offer induce ments tfo the boys to remain upon Haviing disposed of the serious bus iness of baseball, the college boys will now engage in one of the side issues of college life, final exams. Greenwood Index. We thought when a young man reached the distinction of member of the base ball team that he had no more to do with final exams. * * * THE IDLEE. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * These memorial days are the sav ing salt of the nation in this day of commercialism and materialism. They take us aw.ay from the mad strife of the world and put memory to work and arouse those emotions which have to do with our hig.her and nobler and better self. We forget that there a,re any differences among us or that there are any little jealousies and unkind rivalries and live in the sweet remembrance of days that are gone. I believe it is true that no nation and no people could long endure if they did not stop now and again and erect monuments and pay tribute to the good and the great of the past. There is entirely too little sentiment in this age any .way. We seem to think chief ly and mainly on getting the dollar and too often the manner of getting it is not considered. -o But I wanted to say how much we all enjoy memorial day in Newberry. It is one day in the year when the old Veterans are happy and now that so many attend it is really a reunion and a day of real pleasure. -0 Every year. however, shows a break in the columns and it won't be long before there will be none left. But so long as there is one left I want to see the reunions and the dinners kept up in Newberry just as they .are now and I am sure they will be. ---, By the way, have you been around the new court house recently. Bill Miller 'has about finished the rock walls and he is sodding the grounds and laying out the walks, and he is following the directions of the mem bers of the Civic association and when he gets through this is going to be one of the prettiest and neatest places in the State. Then it will be up to Billie Mann to see that it is kept in good condition. The city council ought to pave tihat walk way next~ to the Orotwell hotel before it is put to use -as a wagon way. -0 The Idler is about ready to agree to the idea contained in a bill intro duced in the legislature some years. ago 'by Mr. Arthur Kibler that e'hick ens and geese and ducks and all do mestic fowls should come under the provisions of the stock law and that* the owner should be made to keep them in his own premises. A few chickens scratching can do more harm to your garden or your flower yard than a drove of cattle or hogs or sheep. The man who wants to raise these animals should raise them on his own side of the fenes. I would not do anything to -liseourage the raising of poultry. The fact is I heard a man say the other day tihat poultry raising was, the inost profita-1 ble busines which could just now en age the attention of our plople. And I believe it is true. --- I heard that Mose Hipp explained to the edito'r the other day that he ame to be called Mose when he was a little boy by the visit to his fa.tsher's house of a Mr. Davenport whose name was Mose and that Mose Hipp was so pleased with Mr. Davenport and be ame ;so fond of him that he wanted to be called Mose. Aldermaif "Green has commenced hauling rock to build that bridge across Scott 's creek in College st.reet. I told you Alderman Green generally got .what he staictedl out after. Now Idler wants to see Alderman Green start after placing a nice perk 'n low er public square and one in f -out of the~ old court house. And let us move the wagon yard out of the public square. T'his is the only tOwn of its class that still has a wagpn yard in the punblie square. I have been told that in Greenwood Mayo:' Baker (our Newberry Baker-Ke2neth, you know) has made a park forty feet wi'de righIt t hroug'h the publi .square there and that he has petitions from some of the merchants as long as t.hc old square asking him not be spoli the wagon yard, that he would ruin business and drive off trade. but he is going right on making the park and paing the street. Would that Mayor Langford could see the point. These same merchants will rise up and call Baker blessed before long and wonder how they could have been sue:b fools. See the pont. Mayor Lan2'ford. If [ was a taxpayer I would g'o to city council and say, here, now, we want this lot in rear of the opera house made into a wagon yard. We want' ibii .juarle parked In ic t emitr.e all( imade pretty and attractive. and w-( want it done now and that now spell backwards is won. But I ain't and therefore, I can only give advice. -0 "If you have a friend worth loving, Love him. Yes, and let him know That you love ere life's evening 'Tinge ;his brow with sunset glow, Why should good words ne'er be saii Of a friend 'till he is dead." Willowbrook is going to be a. beau. tiful park. In fact it is already e very pretty place. The town people the city folks, ought to be ashamed of themselves not to go and do like wise and do it now. The park could be kept on up the creek. Starting al the railroad a pretty and inexpensivc park could be made all the way up tc Mr. T. C. Pool's . To plant this bot towm on the South side of the creek in trees for even a one hundred feet in width would make a beautiful park .n a few years. Better to use it for ;his purpose than as a cattle pasture mnd for carnivals. Let some rich man ;tart the movement. The Idler. Jontest for Prize "Trip to Washing ton. The department of agriculture at Washington -has announced that to ;he member of the boys' corn club in ;his State who makes the best yield >f corn to the half acre the depart nent will give a trip to Wahsington. The rules under which the contest vill be held are as follows: Boys entering the contest foi )rize "trip to Washington" must be inder 17 years of age. 2. Contestants for this prize must >e members of a regular county boys' lub. 3.. Each contestant must cultivate awleast one-half acre in corn under lemonstration methods. 4. Exhibits must be delivered to he county superintendent of educa :ion by October 16. 5. Tihe amount of the yield and he method of measurement must be sertified by each boy and attested by it least two disinterested witnesses vho shall be satisfactory to the coun ,y superintendent. 6. In making the award a uniform >asis shall be used. The basis of award will be as fol ows: 1. Greatest yield per acre, 25 per sent. 2. Best one--half bushel exhibit of torn in ear, 25 ,per cent. 3. Best book account howing his :ory of crop and 'all expenses, 25 per sent. 4. Best showing of profit on in restment 25 per cent. (1). The greatest yield per acre s only one of the considerations. Where only one-half acre is planted, :e estimate can be m ide upon the >asis of an acre. 2. About 40 of the best ears ;hould be brought to the cunty ex ibit, not later than October 16. An ~xcellent plan is to devote one day ~o seed selection, so that each boy nay have the best seed cut of his rop for next year.

['he above named circulars 'have been ent to all counties where boys' clubs ~re being organized. The book ~hould be written up from. day to lay and submitted to the judges along ith the exhibit. 4. The important object is to see vho can make the most profit upon ntelligent and economical work. A mniform current price will be used in astimating value of yield.

Miss., May 12.-Bishop Chas. B. Galloway of the Methodist Epiesopal church, Souti. died .of pieimonia at his home here at 5 a. i. today. Bishop Galloway. Mississippi's most distinilshed divine and best known preacher for the last 20 years held rank among the greatest pulpit orators of America. His illness of several days' duration was a mild form of pneumonia, complicated with heart trouble. The bishop was taken ill last Fri day en route from Nashville. where he had attended the annual session of the college of bishops.

Miss., Sentember 1. 1849. and graduated in 1868 from the University of Mississ ippi. The degree of doctor of laws was later conferred upon him by the Northwestern university and by Tu lane university. Bishop Galloway's writings cover ed a wider range perhaps than those of any other person connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. and he traveled extensively. For a number of years he took an ac tive interest in the prohibition cam paign in Mississippi and other South ern States. He was president of the 'board of education of the Methodist EDiscopal Church, South, president of the board of trustees of Millsap college and Vanderhilt university and was a member of the board of trus tees of the JTohn F.

One day another guest saw th;p appe tizing bottle on his neighbor's table and asked the waiter to give him some of "that sauce.'' "I'm sorry, sir," said the waiter, "but it is the private property of this gentleman." The minister, how ever, overheard the other's request .and told the waiter to pass the bot tie. The stranger poured some of the mixture on his meat. and took a lib eral mouthful. After :a moment he turned with tears in his eyes to the minister.

FEEBLE OLD LADY Has Strngth Restored By Vinol i ~ Mrs. Michael Bloom of :Wistown, Pa., who is 80 years of age, says: "For a long time I have been so feeble tbat4 I have had to be wheeled around in an invalid's chair. I had no strength and took cold at the slightest provoca tion, which invariably settled on my lungs, and a cough would result. My son learned of the cod liver prep aration called Vinol, and procured. bottle for me. It built up my strgT rapidly, and after taking three bottles I am able to do most of my work, and I can walk a quarter of a mile easily. Every aged or weak person who re quires strength should try Vino. I am delighted with what' it has done for me."1 As a body builder and strength rea tor for old people, delicate children, weak, run-down Persons, jLnd afWn sickness, Vinol is uneicelled.
