E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. -aS 2nd class matter. Tuesday, January 25, 1910. Suppose South Carolina should Oake up and do the liberal thing in the way of encouraging highway buiding. Well, it would be the best step ever taken by the state. It is the most important,thingin the devel opment of the State's resources. Spartanburg HeraM. It would be a good step, but do 3,ou have any idea the legislature will do anything of the kind? The legis lature may establish a highway de partment and elect an engineer and a secretary and make an appropria tion to support the department but well that will be eneouraging high way building. We suggested to a leading busi ness man the other day that as the legislature was going to be in the up aountry visiting colleges amd towm it would be a good idea to have that body stop over in Newberry and he replied very emphatically by asking, "What the dickens do we want with the legislature?" As we could not answer the question we passed it on and said no more about it. The general assembly' has not yet gotten fairly down to work, but will be at it next. week.-Yorkville En quirer, 21st You are mistaken, this week is to be taken up visiting State institu tions. But then that is good work. While the legislature is out visiting State colleges it should not slight the. Colored college at Orangeburg. We do not understand why Dr. Mil Ser has not extended an invitation. In theee times of advancing prices newspaper subscriptions and adver tisements are among the cheapest commodities there are. As a matter of fact, in many cases, prices were already too low-Yorkville Enquirer. *That is very true and yet you can not convince .the average editor or publisher of a country paper. So many have no. i'egular price sad feel if they 'do not take what is offered they have lost 'just that much. The iHerald and News gives a flat rate * to all regular advertisers, and does not guarantee position. Probably it ~would be 'well for the legislature to * pass a law fixing rates. Clemson College will .never achieve de suoees off which it is capable - until the president is given more au thority and the politicians who comn iPose 'the boar'd of trustees -have a great deal less. It is just this way. ~The students.niumber 600 young men *who will in ashort timeJhe moreor less influential citizens and voters scattered over the state. Nearly ev ery member of the board of. trustees er'pects some day to ira for governor or -United States senator or some other office. Henice the boys are IT. * -Spartanburg Journal. We have one trustee who *is an nounced as a candidate for Con * gress and at least two more who wagt to run for governor. So there may be a good deal of truth in what the Journal says. But whebb,er or not it be true that the trustees are using their positon to secure some other officee-me of them hold other offices already in~ violation of the constitu tion of the State-it is true that there has been too much trusteeship at Clemsoan. The statute law which provided for only two meetings 'a year contemplated that the manage meatof the school should be left 'with the president, and no man with administrative ability to run the school will accept the presidency so lqng as the trustees undertake to rtin the details of the instittution. There are great possibilities for Ge-nom and things will adjust them selves. All things come to him who waits, if bis cause be just. The truth is mighty and will prevait. The Senator from Newberry has introduced a bill in the senate to provide for eleven new officers in Newberry county to be appointed by the governor on the recommendation of the senator and members of the house. They are to receive the mu nificent salary of twenty idollars a year each and are to inspect roads. What the roads need is somebody to work them rather than inspect them. The county :now has about 400 to 600 road overseers. We do not intend to have any dis eussion or controversy with the edi tor of the Observer in the matter of railroad transportation in exchange for advertising. We said in a short article last week all we intend to say The editor of the Observer 2s entitlei to his opinion, though it did take him a long time to find out it was wrong and against public policy for editors to make exchange with railroa.;. However, w;e give him credit for hon esety of opinion and will not discuss the question. Until we are convinced that it is wromg' we will proceed' to make such arrangements if we desire2 and will not try to regulate the con duct of other people. -As we see it a State offcer or a cir cuit judge or a legislator occupies an entirely different relation to the ed itor. We are a little surprised that the Observer would, print such an article as appears under the signature of W. We cannot afford to pay attention to bushwhackers and we hope the Ob server does not need the moral sup port of such writers. The report of the legislative eom mittee to investigate the State Hos pial for the Insane was submitted to the legislature on last Thusdy. A full synopsis is published in this;pa pw. Some years ago Dr. Baboek reeommended to the legislature the advisability of puarhaing a .large tract of land' which was only a few miles out of the city of Columbia and then ,begin the enlargement of the in stitutic. But his recommendation was not adopted. That the institu tion has been over-crowded. every one who desires to be informed must have known before the -investigation began. W~eknow thatconmore than one occ.asion Dr. Babeock hat called the attention of the iegislatgre to the fact. With the crowded condition -it was impossible to give 'the inmates that att,ention and care which ithey should have. We do inot believe that a bet ter man for the position of superin tendent than Dr. Babcock can be found. The races oughit to be sep abated and the institution ought to be moved out of the city. A good healthy location can be secured somewhere near Columbia foi- both white and colored inmates and it would be a mistake to take the two institutions.to remiote-sections of the State. Columbia is easy of access from aliparts of the State and the property now owned by the State could ber sold and other lan&d secured 2eathe city that woukd be aidmir ably adapted for a hospital for this unfortunate elaas of our -itizens. * ** **** * * %* * ** *. * * * THE IDLEE. * * * Well, "Wonderland'' was a great success, and you enjoyed it, now didn't you?~ I hope the civic associ ation. made some money out of the play and it will take up one definite line of work and do that before going off after something else. We have prohibition in town now. The l.id is on tat-a regular taut hand-as the sailor would say. No selling, no drinking, and the legis lature is going to put it on the whole State-,and then we can talk about simething else. Maybe we will have something else to think about beside3 graft and prosecutions and making laws to make people better and we can all join hands with the Laymen's move ment and help evangelize the world in this generation. That was 'a great meeting held in Columbia last week Tere is no tellng- the pnsi bilities for good of such a move ment in which the men of all denom inations anid -ereeds unite for: the bet terment and the uplift of humanity everywhere. I believe this is a movement in which the great major ity of those who took part are doing so for the good they can accomplish, and with as little selfish motite back of it as it is possible to have. Of course there will be a little selfish-4 ness crop out ,somewhere, but those who show it and endeavor to promote their personal aggrandizement will soon be pushed aside, for I believe this movement is the result of a realization of the fact that a duty is laid on this generation, as it is on every generation, to do something for the uplift of humanity, and I want to see results and in my feeble way I want to do what I can to help it along. There is work abroad-there is work at home-there is work every where, and united effort and unsel fish effort will accomplish great things. The great majority of the men who went to Columbia last week went there in the hope of doing good. I believe they were unselfah. I hope the movement will not be a flash in the pan but that it will last. I was dead certain I would have heard something from Mr. John. Kinard in response to my appeal to him to get some of his rich friendf( together an&d help get the movement started for the building of The Id ler's park. Maybe he is thinking the matter over and evolving the pla& before be opens his mouth. We'", that is all right, if that is what are doing. Remember, he who hesi tates is lost. Time is fast slipping by and we should get busy. Dur 'legislature .is having a good time this year. A 4ay was spent at Winthrop college and I know- the girls gave the boys a good.,time, and now I. see the members are going to Charleston to spend a day to visit the Citadel but froni the program I read in the papers they will not waste much time around the old school but will zide around.the har bor in torpedo.boats and wind up at the Commercial club. And they are to strikg the clnb after the dipenisa ries are closed, but then th~ good peeplg down in Charleston how t&take care of andg.rovid4 rthe stranger jin their midst ang I am sure no one will be permitte4to suf fer. Then a day is to be spent at Clemson and a stop of two hours meide at Andorson.- It is ,-gust as well. Let the, hoys. have .a .goo4 tirme. It doesni' est them anything. Th~e Jiler. - mantic. 'There's romance for yoii'' said little. Binks, putting aside his morn ing paper. " This paper has, a story of a college professor who. met a beautiful girl 20 years ago, fell in love with her at first sighit, and then lost sight of her .altogethers Now, *after witing for .20 years, .he is re warded liy-leading. her to .tht:ahar as his- bride. Just think of it, waiting 20 years for a.wife!" "What of it?" asked te genilal philosobher.. " There's nothing ex traordinary a.bout that. I 'ye waited 35 years for mine" . '"You? Waited. 35. years? Why, I thought you'd been ma.nied that long," said little Binks.. "I have," said the genial philo6o pher. ."? That 's-how I know.how lon.g I've.waited. I've waited for her to *get on~ her gloves: about 'three years. -I've waited for her to change, her hit about 'four years L've .waited while she said just one last word, to the cook for at least five. years.. I'Ye waited upstairs. .I've waited down stairs. I've waited at church. I've waited 'in cabs, omnibuses, tazies, motorcears, and the Lord knows what else besides. Fact is, Binksy, I've waited so long, so often, so regularly 'that between, you and. me that little college professor of yours, with only one wait of 20 years, strikes mc as a miserable little piker."-Harper's Weekly. He Knew. A teacher in a Birmingham school was endeavoring to explain the term "book-ing" .as applied to our rail way system, says London Tit-Bits. "Now," he was saying, "can any of you tell me the name of the office at which railway tickets are sold?" " The booking office," replied one of the lads. "Right," responded the teacher. At this moment his eye fell on a small boy at the end of the class who was evidently paying very little attention to what was said. I"Did you -hear that, Spry ?" he dema-nded.
