E. H. AULL, EDITOL Entered at the Postoffice at New Serry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, November 12, 1909. The citizens of Newberry should not forget the amendment to the rules governing -the democratic pri mary as to registration. The registration books, of course, will remain open up to, and including December 1, but this registration is for the purpose of voting in the gen eral election. The rules of the dem ocratic party provide for a registra tion certificate in order to vote in Che democratic primary, and the new rule adopted in the recent citizens' meeting provides that only those vho have registered for the general election up to and including certifi eates issued on the 18th of Novem ber will be permitted to vote in the democratic primary. On the 19th of Nevember the reg istration officer is required to furnish a certified list of the registered vo ters, who have registered prior to November 19. This list is to be furnished to the secretary of the ex ecutive eommittee by wards, and is to be .used by the managers in each ward as a guide to determine who ire entitled to vote. Reretofore it has been possible to secure a registration ticket during the day of the primary election. We repeat, in order to vote in the primary for mayor and aldermen you rust secure your city registration ticket for the general eleetion on or tefore next Thnrsday, November 18. & Those members of the Farmers' Mutual who have spoken in refer ence to Mr. Chappell's loss, take the ight position. If this is -a mutual association it should not avoid the -payment of a loss, such as this, by a teehnieality. In fact, we do not be Sieve the courts would sustain such a position if the matter were carried into court. * -* * THE IWLE. * * * * * * * * * * * * *..* *.* * * *c I am afrai<d that the clock setter at the opera house failed to see what I said Tuesday and the beautiful reasons given by Tempus as to cor. rect time. The elock is still about eight minutes fast. Now it is too had to get our people in the,habit of being too fast. Mr. Mayor, please have the clock set. by Washington time evezy day. Somebody sa-id, the other day that sparrows and other birds had been seen riding on the :hand of the clock and you know anyt-hing as heavy as a sparrow on the minute hand on the right side might shove it up eight minutes.' And then if they ~would ride the minute hand as it was climb ing the 'hill it might hold it back a few minutes. But if the proper offi cer would see that the clock had Washington time every day at noon all would be well. Why not do 'it' now. And let the birds enjoy the rides. -0 I read -the following in some news paper some time ago: "We have been criticised by a Montana editor for sholding the po sitions of editor, postmaster, mayor, game warden, colonel of the militia, and chief of .t'he fire department at the same time. That 's the trouble with some folks-they . don 't under stand how a man can swell and en large and absorb. We are prepared to take it a dozen other offices and not crowd ourself. "Room inside~' is our motto. We didn 't get a pres idential nomination last year, but we are growing for i.t. The Hellso fam ily can't be kept down.'' That 's the way to. talk it. The more jobs you can get the more you can expand. And if you keep on you may get the nomination for govern or, if not for president. And where 's the difference, just ~so you have the jobs? The criticism of an editor doesn't count for much. certainly to long as vou can'keep the people fooled. -o They say in France that the per cent of convictions in trials for murder is about 80, while in this country the per cent of convictions is about 4. And as a result there murders in France to population as -in the United States. In a trial in France the object is to get the facts and bring out the truth rather than suppress them. Human life is not cheap. -0 What is a gentleman? Had you ever asked yourself that question? It ought 'to be a pertinent question. I sometimes think if we would stop oftener and ask ourselves some per t,inent and personal questions we would profit by .them whether we answered truthfully or not. It would help us to arrive at the truth. Some 'time ago the following appeared in the Woman's Home Companion: An exact definition of a gentleman has been tried many times, never perhaps with entirely satisfactory results. Li-ttle Sadie had never heard of any of the various defini tions, but she managed to throw a gleam of ligDt on the subject, albeit one touched wi-th unconscious cvni cism. The word was in the spelling lesson and I said: "Sadie, what is a gentleman'?" "Please, ma'am," she answered, "a gentleman's a man you don't know very well." ,uppose you take down Webster and turn to t'his good old English word and see whaot he says it is and then apply the answer and see if you know him very.well. -0 You know in England it means a well born man, one who is above the yeoman. In this country we mean one of gentle and refined manners, of good breeding and properly reared. I hope every one knows him very well. It -means one who is truth ful and honest and fair-minded aud who is not a backbiter-who is clean of speech and thought. But I didn't intend to give yo6u a definition. -0 I noticed in a paper the other day where Mr. John D. Rockefeller made a Sunday school speech. You know Mr. Rockefeller, Of course you do. Well, they'"tell me he is the richest man in the world. He says he has to struggle. ' Just think of the richest man in the world having to strug gle. If I was as ri.ch as they tell me he is I doubt if I would take enough exercise to make my digestion good. [ would have somebody to exercise for me. Here .is what Mr. Rocke feller said to Euclid Avenue Baptist Sunday school at Cleveland, Ohio: "Often I mneet nothing but st;ug ges. But 1 think it is a great bless ing. I remember when I first learned to swim in New York 60 years ago, I had to kick, splash and struggie. -I have been struggling ever since. If we do not have to struggle, we will be weaklings; to be strong we must struggle always." Then it is said tha{ Mr. Rockefel ler produced four old Sunday Lehool books that he used in 1856 when he was afunday school teacher and told about two scholars he had in his lass, who are old men now. I am glad to record the fact that this1 rich man spoke to a Sunday school. He may be a bettei- man than some people give him credit. for being. We are too reody to impugn wrong mo tives. The fact is human nature as a rule had rather believe evil of our fellowman than good. Let us tall re member that there is something good in the worst of us and endeavor al ways :to see it. And don't forget that life is a struggle and that it is well that it is so. By exercise we be come strong. This is :true of our three-fold nature. We become weak lings zwithout exercise-spiritually, intellectually and physically. Don't be afraid to work. They tell me they had educat'ed fleas at the State fair. I did not see them. That is the way with me, I can never see things that other people do. They say t1hey would dance to the music and do many other stunts. I wonder now if some genius won't educate that other historie bird which has no wings at all but is re puted to get there all the same. Just think of an educated flea. I wonder what next. That beats flying through the air. 1 give it up. I was thinking .:he other day about the written word and the re sponsibility of the one wh writes and I was wondering if too many who wro.:e were not lacking in that regard for the effect of what they wrote either upon the feelings or the iife of others. When we write we should .hink right, we should en :eavor- to be just, we should al ways he truthful. I believe it wasI ld man Unorae who said many years ago: " Seribendi reete. est >reiipmm i et founs.'' It is t rue .:o Llay. To think justly is a fundamental priniple and the foundation of all mod writing. So many, I fear. who rite in this day, write without thinking at all, and sad to say in the iruth. Sensation. yeliow journai ism, exploi;ting private and personal affairs is good journalism in the minds of some. In the old days the editor of a newspaper was held to closer personal account for what ap peared in his paper. In this day in the big journals there is no person ality. It is a big machine which just goes right on. Well, it does not concern me but I like now and then to call attention to the right way. Remember that the basis of all good writing is right thinking and just. thinking. The Idler. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Counfy of Newberry. Court of Common Pleas. J. H. Wicker, L. D. Wicker, W. J.
