E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ,erry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, September 10, 1909. JAMES T. BACON. In the death of Col. James T. Ba con, one of the gentlest and tenderest of nature's noblemen, has been called to his reward. He was at the same time firm in 'his convictions of right and bold and fearless in the express ion of his opinions. Our first. recollection of journalism in this State associates him with the profession. He was always our friend -and in later years when we became associaed with journaist6c work that friendship became stronger and we are proud of the privilege of having the friendship of snch a man. We s1hall miss him at the gatherings of the press. We desire now only to express a feeling of personal loss in the death of Col. Bacon and to extend our sym pathy -to those of his immediate fam ily who mourn his death. We notice from the daily papers that two members of the railroad com mission -feel slighted that ithey were not invited to tihe conference at Greenville, looking to better service and better accommodations on the C. & G. division of the Southern. We -do not know why they were not invited, but if they were not, and if there is need for improvement in this division, they should not wait to have the service improved by a meeting of -citize6s. j $Commisioner Earle was present and -he submitted a letter to the board making suggestions looking to the im provement of accommodations on this division, but the board refused to take '-Totice of Mr. Earle's letter. Mr. Earle 'is probably correct that the commission has no power .to order a third t.rain, but that the otiher mat ters of proper accommodations and equipment are . matters which should hbave the .attention of Uhe commission. As we stated at Greenville and ~have since stated, the people of .this ecimmunity are not especially anxious for a third train, -but they would like to have tihe train which leaves Greenville at 9:30 a. in., leave Green ville about 6 a. 'm., so as to pass New * erry between 10 and 11 o 'clock, at -the latest,' going toward Columbia, and they would like to have the train whih now leaves Columbia a.t 1 p. in., leave there about 2, so as to pass Newberry an hour later. With this change of schedule, and without an additional train, our .people would be satisfied. For .the tbhrough t.ravel from Grenville to Columbia, if the -Southern would carry the Pullman 'from Charleston on to Greenville on Kthe morning train and tihen return it on the night train from Greenville to Charleston, the through travel would *probably 'oe satisfied with the accom Kmodations. We think t.his would be better .zhan an extra train. if the ad ditional expense of the extra train were pint into better equipment on the road and rolling stock. Mr. Earle suggested that tihis midday train, as we call it, be a through train as far as Greenwood from Greenville. and ex tend the train that now operates be tween Greenville and Belton to Green wood, and let it do local work be . tween those points. That would shorten the time of the .train between Greenville and. Columbia, but so far as we are concerned, t.hatr is a mat - ter about which we have no sugges tion. We desire to remind the Greenville News that the railroad meeting held in Greenville some clays ago was the outcome of the suggestion of the News and The Herald and News that a meeting be held to see if we could not secure better accomimodat ions in the shape of a parlorw ear on tihe At la.ntic Coast Line between Greenville and Charleston, and tbae: we (do not intend to let t::is proposit ii be for gotten. The other meet ing was al iright and we hope it will resuk in im -rovment in the service on the Somheri. bt we do not 'mcn<i to for etat we ieed better aecomimoda 11111S ol the other line between Greenville and Charlesion. W\e hope the Ne;s will not let up in its a.gi tation of this improvement. There is no need for Mr. Peary or Dr. Cook to quarrel over ifhe discov ery of the North Pole. There is glory enough for both. Let them give to the world the evidence of their discov ery and the result of their research and in this way ;there will be no oe easion to dispute about which one did go there. As soon as it rains it wculd be a good idea for the farmers to plont some oats and he sure to sow a suffi cient amount of wheat to make flour for your own use. The roller mills of this section make as good flour as the patent whieh we buy and then you know it is the real article. The Herald and News is much pleased with its new offices upstairs. We are going ito try to make the offi ces comfortable and a'ttractive and we want to see our friends at all times. We could take a few more subseribers on our mailing list. A good time to start. * * * THE IDLER. * * * Mr. Henry Wells sent me word that he would like for it to -be stated that he was not L. 0. who was complaining about that bridge in Harrington street. Well, it makes little differ ence now who it was, the bridge is repaired. To tell you -the truth I do not know just where -this bridge is, as I have not ben out this way in a long time, but the thing is done now. And they tell me it is a good job, that is I hear of them talking about it. I was thinking the other day-yes, thinking-that Newberry was or is a ipretty good town. Now, you see, I ~had an opportunity to go to another town that makes a great big noise in fact a noise like it might he some thing-and I tell you I was surprised to see that it was not near as large as Newberry. The fact is Newberry is a much larger .town than it claims for itself. We need to take lessons in claiming, Some day you go out in M~ain street at the corner drug store and look up and down Main street and then see if you do not agree with me that the business portion is larger than you thought. I am sure you do not rea-lize tihe size of the residence section. I .think it wou-ld be a good idea if the citizens along 'where there is a cement sidewalk would have it swept off every morning. It would take very little time and labor and it would add so much to the appearance of the street. If you don 't believe it would add to the appearance of the premises you just try it for a few mornings and I am sure you will wonder why you did not do it long ago. Some of these sidewalks .tihat are not swept do pre sent a horrible appearance. Try it. -o No use to have pretty sidewalks if you are not going to keep tihem clean. Sometimes the cows that run at large warlk tihese beautiful sidewalks. I suppose i.t is for the good grazing that is an either side. Well, you know, af .ter the cows have grazed along on the walks for several hours-well, you know-it wvould add so much to the appearance of these walks if they were swept off every day and it would not be mnue'h trouble if .those who owvn or control adjacent property would .have them swept once -or twice a day. 1 really would like to know why the street force is no: kept at wvork duingt the beautiful weather for such work. we have had the past month. Really I have not seen a street hand the past' moread Mr. Blease's platforman it makes a g'ood sort of noise to me that is I mean,1he has a good platform. Le.t us hear from the other candidates and then I think it is important to have an alderman from each ward who will do sometihing. That is what this town needs, men who will do soymet,hdng'. I mew:m for .the town, for the genera] welfare. Good live alder' men with a live progressiv~e may'or atnd then yo u will see somnethling do 2nug. -0 ha t hey tell me that Greenwood hspaved her ent ire publie square and a number of tshe main stree.ts lead ing into it and that beautiful little pars have been mae in .the square, Grenwood-so I am iold-but let's !401 IMke vomiparisoi. Newberry is la I-e ! I ;! I I av i ax -ol1(lie betler lreels5. Speaking about the Greenwood pav ing isn't Kenneth Baker mayor of Gren-wood? You know, they tell me he is .the same Kenneth Baker that used to be at Prosperity, and if so he is a mighty fine fellow, and that accounts for the forward movement oat Grenwood, for I did hear that even in Greenwood some of the old stagers kicked mightily about the paving and talked about injunctions, but Mayor Baker just went right ahead. And some of these kickers were the big dogs, too, that is the rich fellows, tbhey didn't like the idea of parks and mov ing the wagon yard. You know it is funny why so many of'the rich folks have no taste for the beautiful. They can see nothing so beautiful as gold and silver dollars and greenbacks and stocks and bonds and brick sand mortar. Well, I think I would like silver and gold for the good use I could make of it and for the good I could do with it, but not for the purpose of hoarding it. Never having had any. however, possibly I have no right to express an opinion. The Idler. Notice of Petition for Incorporation.
