L H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Il Friday, January 14, 1910. The legislature opened on Tues day and has gotten do;in to work. The legislature has accepted an in -vitation to visit Clemson and no doubt will also pay a visit to Win throp. These trips are a waste of time and money. The members should inform themselves of condi tions at these institutions without going thene on a junketing trip. That is all these trips amount to. They ill go at the expense of the State, eat a good dinner, receive the spe ial attention of the faculty, stu dentt and trustees and return pre pared to give anything that is. asked for the institutions whether it is needed or not and regardless of -whether the finamees of the State -warrant the appropriation. But the people7will pay the bill and if they are satisfied it is all right. All the State colleges should be liberally supported but not extravagantly. .-We now know why President Taft did not visit Laurens when he was in South Carolina 'lst November: Some oe told him he'd have to pass through Newberry.-Laurens Adver tiser. You hurry with that trolley of yours and then talk. Come down and see our fine court house and other buildings you haven't got, Wonder if President Taft knows Laurens is on the map. Well, the- legislature will convene to-day, but what for is not exactly elear.-Spartanburg Herald. evy taxes, spend -money, draw pay ,and appoint investigating com mittees. That's* easy..I We notice that another effort is 1 -being made to increase the salaries]] of judges by adding $500 to be call-I ed traveling expenses. The senate - indefinitely postponed the bill hbit a .a motion to reconsider -will be in or der. -A similar bill was introduced a few yeaais ago and passed the sen~ ate but was kifled in the house. >We believ~e sthat the salaries of all 2 --' State officials are too low but there shouldbe abiflrasngal.1alaies. All State officers are paid only $1,900 a year except the Governor I and the Insurance commissioner and I State bank. eaminer who get $3,000' a year each. Their duties are no anore' important or onerous thaa the comptroller general or other State r * oficials. The fact is at State offeer receives no more than an ordinary bookkeeper. * Let the legislature do the right thing and pass a measure increasing 1 al'salaries and placing them on an J equitable basis. T-he comptroller general does not receive as large salary as several i -county auditors, who are his inferior' officers. I We regret to learn that Maj. J. C. Eemphill is going to leave the -State and especially the good old News and Courier, It will not be the same paper and somehow we cannot i imagine M-aj. Hemphill with any oth er. He is a very able editor and has done much for 'Charleston and the State. and just now as Charles ton is beginning to take on a news era of progress it seems shard to give1 up Mfajor Hemphill. But Richmond is a fine old city and the Times-Dispatch a good paper and will be made better by the ac-'i quisition of Maj. Hemphill.t Found Dead in Bed.i Cornelia, Ga., Jan. 9.-Capt. J. A. Dodson, superintendent of che Tal iulah Falls Railroad, was Cound dead n in bed in his room at a local hotel a this morning. He hod been in ill- b * THE IDLBE. * The Idler understands that The .Ierald and News gave a small ban luet to the contestants for the sev ,ral prizes offered in the contest Fhich closed on last Monday. The :dler was not invited and at first it 'elt the slight very keenly but on ;econd thought if it had been its dentity might have been made mown and then it would haVe been mpossible for it to write any more md that would have been a calamity o this community for it is sure that t has a work to accomplish. Now 'his is not egotism-I believe that is 1 good word-but just a cold and hard tatement of fact. \ -0 You know this is a good old town ut it needs to be told some things and it needs to be told some things and they should be told in plain and simple language so that he who rums raay read and I am trying to tell them so that every body can under t.and. That is not meant to assign to myself any particular importance because I want everyboly who is foolish enough to read what I write to understand that I am a very hum ble ~eitizen and don't give a-snap 3f my little finger what people think f me, I am going to write what I think with malice to none and love to all mankind but with truth and justice as my ideal, and when the ditor refuses to publish what I write then I am going 'to quit writ ing right then and there because -I Ion 't care whether I work or not. -0 Well, they tell me that they had some good, speeches at this banquet -good beteause of their brevity. rhat is what I hear the contestants ay. It was a sort of love feast. I wish I had the diamond ring er the watch. But wasn't it nice that the )nly girl in the lot got the first prize. But don't you thi-nk she would rath r have had the diamond ring. Ev ,ry girl I ever saw wanted a diamond eing and what does a girl care for a Cew paltry gold dollars. The editor had better given me those- gold dollars with whieh to ..buy a little pellagra or sdmnet'hirig like that. But then /I reckon if he had 2ot given them li,way he would not ave had threm and so it is all right. My doctrine is that whatevdr is is >est and I am going to try to keep n that faith. In my last I said somethin about he "thou shal2ts'' as being- prefer tble to' the 'thou shalt nots." Have ny of you read the decalogue. There re some "shalt nots'''im it bTat what oes it say about the commandment 'hich 'itains -al. the rest and which is the essence of the whole1 aoral law. 'I have not the Book be ore me but it seems to me that it uns something like this: "Thou halt love ohe Lord thy God with' i thy heart and thy neighbor as hyse-f'' and that all the law and he prophets are containea in this ne commandment. If I Em mis aken I will be gled to be corrected. What'does it mean to love thyi Leighbor as thyself and who is thy eighbor. "Greater love lhath no aan than this that he will lay down is lfe for his brother.'' Had you ethought of this? You go and et down that Good. Book and read rhat it says and you will find lots of bod things that you had never hought of. Well, they tell me~ the IegislatureI s in sessionmagain. I hope it wilini rease taxes, providi for the ,egen iture of money, draw its pay . and ~djourn and not pass too marfiool sh laws. We have more la.ws"now han the average "Philadelphia law rer' .can keep up with. Did you ver :hear 'tell of that term, "Phila elphia lawyer''? To my youthful nind many years ago it carried with t great learning. It is getting time again to talk bout that park-The Idler's park. t must come. We must begin to ant our trees and shrubbery and rass early in February. I don't now much about the business men f this .community, not being one my elf, but I would like to suggest that ~Ir. Z. F. Wright who I believe is resident of the largest corporation a the city and who has built a beau ful Park in West End call a meet ag of the busi.ness men of the city nd tell them how to get a park. . It easy. I am sure Mr. Geo. W., ummer, president of Mollohon mill, -ill cooperate and if the leading fi anciers do not do something what e we to expect of the "poor ackra.'' Gentlemen, it is to your your duty to lead mfi these maters of eivic improvement. Now, here is the civic asswcjation gone off after something in "Won derland,'" whatever and wherever that is, but it will take a lots of "Wonderlands "to do anything. Why not get down after city council and get it to do something. We are the people. Let city council spend some of the tax money-that -is the money of those who pay taxes-in making some permanent improvements and some beautifying of the city. Com mercial prosperity and big bank sur plus are all right but we, need some thing else. You know what that is. Don't misunderstand me. I want to see the civic .assoiation. bring back from "Wonderland" some good re turns but I want also to see some thing doing with this money. Now, here I am again meddling-this is none of my business-but I want to make a suggestion to the civic asso ciation. It is this: Decide on the accomplishment of one definite spe cific purpose a-nd pursue that until it is accomplished. Then do something else. You will remember that some body wrote some beautiful lines about the man who had one purpose and pursued it and that accomplish ed something. Suppose you try it. You know you started on the lawn around the -new court house and you did something but the thing has never been fmished. The walks have never been made and while much improvement was done it would be a great thing for the counity to have those walks completed and the grass growing and the flowers bloom ing-that is when the time for the flowers to bloom comes along. Will they bloom unless you plant them? Well, hardly. One definite fixed purpose is a great thing. Suppose you try it. Try something little first. Get Supervisor Feagle to 'fin ish the -court house lawn. He will do it. I am sure he will. Get him to do this before he starts on that sand and clay road between here and Prosperity which he says he is go ing to do az soon as spring comes., You know I want to see -that road built so the Newberriy people can o to Prosperity to do their shop ping and. the Prosperity -people. can come to ewberry. You know if;a we had that road~ Mr. Waldrop would immediatelyi n en to!bl ies, and then we would be as one. Anmd how beautiful it would be' for brethren-and sistren otoo-'4o dwell together in unity and &n love. .- The Idler. -Too Much to Forgive. Oharles P. Taft, the president's ~brther, was talking to a .Cincinnati reporter the other day .about art fakes. "We all laugh at art fakes," he said, "when it is our neighbor.that is taken in. But when we tare taken in ourselves, then we. realize what' a heinous business art faking is, and we see how necessary it is for the faker to be punished. In fact, it is a good .deal like the case of Deaeon, Broadben.t. "Deaeon Broadbent, a very honest and pious man, was conducting a. Christiiias revival with great- success., In a word, his powerfuf dexhorta tions had brought Calhoun White, the 'town's worst sinner, weeping to the niourner's bench. "The deacon, gratifled -by this proof of his evangelical prowess, has tened to Calhoun's side. "'Deacon,' sobbed Calhoun, 'tain'- no use in mah' comin' up. I'se sinened away de day-o' grace.' 'No, yo hain't, 'Brudder Cal,'t said the deacon. 'Al1l yo'."jot to do is to gib up sin an' all will be for gibben.' " 'I 'se done gib it up, Deacon, ' but dest hain't no salv'ation fo' me.' " 'Yes, dey is, hion. Dey hain't no sin' so black dat it kin hbe washed whiter'n de snow.'. ~' 'But I done stole fo' young turkeys last week,' said the-penitent. " 'Dat's all forgibben, Cal.' " 'An' four de week befo'.' "An' six fat Christmas geese ' " The deacon suddenly frowned and stiffened. " '-Six fat Christmas geese outer yore own yard, deacon--dem fat geese wot yo' 'lowed to set so miuch store by. "'Wot's dat you say?' the dea-, on hissed furiously. "'It wuz me wet stole yo' Christmas geese, sah.' '"I reckon, Ca]houn,' he said slow y; 'I reckon I 'se spoken too hasty. Dis case o' yourni neds advisement. [ ain't sho' dat wt 's justified in lutterin.' up de kingdom o' heben wid ehicken thieves.' ''-St. Louis Captain Griffith. The State treastrry will be helped soon by receiving from the super intendent of the penitentiary the profits of this year's farm and man ifacturing operations of that insti tution, amoating to about $80,000. 1 Might it not be a happy experi- 1 mIent to put as president qf Clemson. college, some practical, level-headed business man, who has such tach and executive and administrative abidty a Captain Griffith has mnifested!
