E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday. June 1. 1909. A GREAT STATE HIGHWAY Speaking of the suggestion of The Herald and News toplacethe convicts on permanent road work, and first to build two intersecting roads across the State, the Greenville News says: "The Greenville News lhas long since been a believer in such a propo sition. On several occasions we have printed editorials advocating the building of such a road, and we are More convnced than ever that it would be an entirely practicable, sen sible and expedient thing to do. There is a great State road in Massachu setts extending from Boston to the New York State line which was built in a somewhat similar manner; al though there was great opposition to it at the time the matter was first brought up. There has been no one similar developnent in the whole State of Massachusetts that has re sulted in more good than the building of ,this road across the State. There would be strong oppositon from one end of the State to the other, if such a bill were introduced in the South Caolina leilature, bat we believe it could be put through, and we are confident that such a road, once com pleted would prove to be the most popular enterprise undertaken in the State, in a score of years. We would like other newspapers over the State to discuss the question for we believe an intelligent discussion would bring about a realization of the Pnd in view. The time is now ripe for such an agitation.'' We would be glad to se the press of 'the State take up the question -and discuss it. Of course the first thing is to get a sentiment in favor of the general proposition, and then the details can be easily worked out. The address by Dr. J. M. Kibler in this issue of The Herald and News on "The Proper Care of Children,'' is a valuable paper and will well repay a careful reading. "A Dance With Death,'' the thrill ing story by C'ol. D. A. Dickert 'which has been running in The Her a'ld and News for some time, closes in this issue. As has been stated, Col. Dicke-rt will write other articles for The Herald and News, which will trun through a number of issues of the paper. Col. Diekert is a fascinating writer. "A Dance With Death'' has created interest throughout South Carolina, and The Herald and News ~an~d its readers are gratified that Col. Dickert will furnish other articles for publication in our columns. * * * THS IDLER. * * * * * * * *. * * * * * * * * * * The Idler stated some time ago that it would not take it three imutes to locat the -new school building. At that time, as I understood it, the Y. J. Pope property with about six acres was offered for $15,000. I said I would take it and tak~e it without any further. consideration. I understand the board declined the offer and as soon as it was declined it 'was with drawn. That very maiterially changed the situation. The offer was renewed 'with the house and about 2 acres for $13,500. I would like to say to the board, if I 'had their ear or any in filuence, deeline this 'ofer quick The house is what you don't especially want. It was -the land and th'e play ground 'that it gave that appealed to me. --- It may be that the board will de cide on the location before The Her ald and News, is pri-nted. and there fore, will not 'have the advantage of ,the valuable opinion of The Idler, but let it not be forgotten that The Idler does not charge anything for its op inion and expects no favors and therefore little matters it whetter .the opinion so freely given is heeded or not. I have lived in Newbery a good many years and as things go in this day 'have not made much of a suc ecess-that is 'have not waxed rich and pay no taxes of consequence, but I 'do feel an interest in old Newberry and 'am very anxious to see the very best 'selection as to a lot or lots made-and --don 't give $13.500 for two acres and a house when you refused to accept the ho.eand six acres for $15,000. --JO , IUir .iL ii ed to tell I V.' barber who was eutting his hair once 1 said t him, Yu ave a large 'ead, sir*; it is a good thing to 'ave a large r 'ead, for a large 'ead means a large J brain. and a large brain is the most useful thing a man can 'ave, as it nourishes the roots of the 'air.' t See the point? I did get a gliwpse of the trash t wagon the other day and it seems d fixed for the business. The only e thing is, can one wagon do duty for a r city the size of Newberry? Of course if the citizens will take care of all the trash they can that accumulates on their own premises and do not pile it in the street one wagon can do a I great deal. -0 I1 do hope <the civic association will keep at it until we get the court house square, front and rear, upper and s lower, made into pretty little parks. 1, "Keeping everlastingly at it brings i: success,'" is the motto of some ad- '] vertising agents, and it is true in one i< thing as well as another. V -0 I wish you would tell Jno. Mayes t that the grass and weeds he didn't t plan on the Methodist church lot t have grown very nicely and need I trimming. In fact I told him once 8 before in this codmun that the Means t grass would grow to the chopping s point once in every ten days. I e That reminds me to say again that this week every one should put his premises in good condition. Nothing so impresses a stranger on entering a 1 as clean streets and neat' t well kpt lawns. And next week is commencement week, and there will be many visitors here. 0 And Newberry ought to present a n neat and attractive appearance not s only commencement week, but every E week in the year. Why not give the w movement a big start this week, and h then keep it up with as much vim B and zeal as eharacterize the start? V The civic association has been work- E ing hard in this direction, and ought to have ithe hearty support and en- l\ couragement of all the people. of S Newberry. C -o- .b T alking about commencement, we is are all interested in it, because we J all are interested in the college and b in the young men and women who ere f, its students, and especially those who I will go out next week to face the re- t sponsibilities and the stern realities t of life. From the bottom of my heart t I wish for every one of them that b their fondest expectations may be v realized. Their hopes are high, I t know,bu t there is no limit~ to the pos- t sibilities of achievement in this age of the world. The dreams of yester- v~ day are the realizations -of today, and ( in all probability, judging the future by the past, we have not, even in our most fevered fancies, received a sug getion of what the morrow has in 1 store. This is an age of specializa tion, but specialization can only I achieve results when it is builded upon a solid foundation. Newberry I college is doing a great work in help-. a ing to meet the world's need for broad, solid, Christian education. Speaking of hopes and dreams, leads me to remark that one of the e greaest dangers which confronts the young people of this age is that they i1 will become too mueh commercialized. The world. is strictly business, and men sometimes in rubbing up against t< it become cold and hard and unfeel ing. Irn our youth we have all wan- L dered in the garden of dreams, and the pity' is that some of us have not taken more time 'to dream in our later years. 'All young people build air1 castles which in all probability will vanish in the white heat of business life as mists before the rising sun, but if these eastles have upright liv- T iag for their foundations, and the su perstructure is along 'the proper lines, no matter though they vanish they, will have benefited the builder. A people ca:n never rise higher than its u ideals. We need high ideals. p -o- h And we need sentiment. We need a a little more of the spirit of Chris- e tin charity. You remember the story It1 of Abou Ben Adihem-he whom love of Govd had blessed, his name leading y all the rest, because h'e loved his fel- s low-man. s] I am afraid no one sent <a marked *h cop of my observations published 'I in this column some time ago to Mr. u Childs or Mr. Williams. You know I n was at the union depot the other day a and to my utter anazement and great f mortification M1. Childs and Mr. ti Williams have given absolutely no a heed to my suggestion that they were v permitting and aiding -and ahbetting t Iand in fact by lack of a little work. 3 really foreing aviolation of the statute v against eruelty to animals. Now, n don 't miszunderstand me. for I e, would not for a moment say any hin nndn of any one .and I only *n .C 1le wXorI f1! -11,1 I i le C% nd noblest sene. but do Yon know a spite of my suggestion, tile rail oads are still requiring the ticket "elt to travel l't least one thousand uiles each day to sell tickets and vhen he is answering questions broulth one window somebody is rap ing for him at the other? The won er is he doesn't make a lot of mis akes besides walking himself to eath. And it could all be fixed so asv and with so little cost. It is eal cruel that it has not been done. The Idler. ANOTHER MEDAL AWARDED. laster James Kinard Winner of the W. C. T. U. Medal in Contest Held in West End. On Friday night the last of the eries of debates conducted by the >cal chapter W. C. T. U. was held a 0'Neall Street Methodist church. 'his was >the fifth and last of the ser s, and, it might be added, one of the ery best. The boys and girls who spoke on his oceasion did unusually well, and o much credit cannot be given to hose who had trained them. Their Tonuniation was exceptionally ood, and their eonception of the eme under consideration and the abject matter seemed to be remarka le for children of their age, and ven older ones. It could easily be old from the correct and distinct pro unciation of these children that the istruction they had received in the ublic school of West End had been ainstaking and thorough and along ae correct lines, and they evidenced 1 the way they conducted themselves iat they had been subjected to very od and careful training. The winner of the medal on Friday ight was Master James Kinard, his ibject being, "National Existence ndangred,' -and honorable mention as made of Miss Lessie Bouknight, er subject being, ",The Converted ,um-seller." The judges were Messrs. 7. H. Wallace, F. L. Bynum, and E. [. Aull. The five winners of medals axe [aster James Kinard; Miss Etta helley, the successful contestant at entral Methodiet chu-rch; Miss Ma el Williamson, at Prosperity; and 1 the two contests last year, Mr. A. .Bowers, and Miss Josephine Dun ar. These five will enter tihe contest or the gold mnediaa to be heald at Mr. V. I. Herbert's place at Utopia some im this summer.
