For more than 40 I years the name of Colonel Dahlgreen "M has not been mentioned in the South- thi ern press and perhaps it has been uni that long since it was mentioned in pre the Northern press, for the Northern ers were not at all proud of his cow- p the ardly act. the After the manuscript of Colonel evi Dickert's article was handed in we mal saw a copy of a letter in the Bingham, wai ton (N; Y.) Republican of June 4, from a Northern man, in connecticm con With the firkt ian Who 16k his life in rus th _t6Mt War Between the States. eve This letter speaks of him as a martyr mo and in enumerating the many other martyrs who gave their life for the a abu. union, he mentions "Colonel Dahl- pos green, the dashing, who courted an death between the picket lines," "the sig] patriotic General Wadsworth chang- in ing the silver for the golden crown." wr dec Colonel Dickert calls Dahlgreen an 15i "assassin" while the Northerner ricl styles 'him a "martyr." we Another singular coincidence is the bin as mention of General Wadsworth, the wh millionaire general who fell at the mo: Wilderness. Colonel Dickert was with we him at his death, and perhaps heard not his last spoken words on this earth, for' and in Colonel Dickert's History of Kershaw's Brigade, he spoke as fol- It lows of the dead Union general: gre "In a large fly tent, near the road -wol * side, lay the dying Northern million-- I r< aire, General Wadsworth. The Con- got *federates had been as careful of his * wants, and respected his station, as if E he had been one of our own soldiers. caui I went in to look at the general, who .ieal could command"more ready gold than bus the Confederate States had in its mo: treasury. His hat had been placed to over his face, and as I raised it his sonl heavy breathing, his closed eyes, his the cold clamy face, showed that the rici * end was near. There lay dying, -the try * multi-millionarle, in an enemy's the country, not -a friend near, to hear his yot last farewell or soothe his last mo- Th< ment, by a friendly touch on his pal lid brow. Still he, like all soldiers on I either side, died for what he thought abt was right, old spc "He fails not, who stakes his all, ert Upon the right, and dares to fall, we What though the living bless or da: blame, ad' For him, the long success of fame." cor We do not know, but we believe it to wa would be safe to say that Col. Dick- dr ert did not replace the hat on the face wa of the dying millionaire general, but ing that a Southern soldier wore that hat. aic -____ ____ ____ ____toi hai The executive committee did thedi right thing on Satur'day in arranging so a short campaign. There Ie little need the of a meeting in each township or hav- WC ing three meetings in Newberry. Ik ern Nobody in Newberry is talking pol- , tics and very few seem to have any Iun desire for office. st It is a good omen. We hope the on people will demand that some good ing and efficient men run for the legisla- of ture. It is the most important office plE in the county, and should be filled byca men of ability. cie wc It is not yet too late to plant corn ful or to sow peas. We can scarcely n on make too much food stuff in this State. The crops are looking fairly well in coi this section of the State. There is i some grass, of course, but if there bu: were not you could scarce expect any- da: thing else. The corn is looking par- cai ticularly well. tin fLor * * * * * * * * * * ** * THE IDLER. * pa: * * ti * * * * * * * * * * * * clu I have decided to offer a few more soI serious thoughts to my friends pai through this column of The Herald thc 1 then, too, there have bten w ny things going on and so many .t are of more importance than any my thoughts that I concluded it t as well to call off for a few weeks. have not seen where any one has ie anything about my park. You )w I am almost about to reach the iclusion that all our people care! ut is their own personal self, and ,t every one is afraid to do any ag because some one else may get ittle more out of the park than he 1. That same old spirit of selfish s, and personal gain for our own , and unwillingness to lend our as :ance for the general welfare. -0 read the other day an article from hop Candler in which he says: iterial things, money and the igs which money can buy, are notil mportant; but they are not ;u mely important. It is very easy to estimate their session too highly and to regard. want of things as a greater evil n it really is. There are many 1 lences around us of this over-esti :ion of wealth and over-fear of the 1 it of wealth," rad you ever thought of that, you imercialist; in your struggle and h to get inoney, disregarding rybody anid verything exceptI aey? Again Bishop Candler says: Capitalism- beeds to know that a ,n's life consisteth not in ithe ndance of the things which he'l sesseth.' Opulence in the purse I indigence in the soul is a sorry it. Plenty in the barn and poverty the heart is the worst sort of tchedness. All this we steadfastly lare that we believe, but do we be e -it? Why then do we envy the! i, who are poor in soul? Why do not rather pity them? Why do we d all our energies to get money they do? Why are we so unhappy an we fail to succeed in getting aey as they do? In short, why do pretend to believe that money is I the chief thing while we live as .if: vere the only good worth striving 7hy do we? Well, I don't know. ;eems to me if I had money the i atest pleasure I could get out of it ild be in making others happy. But ackon that is the reason I haven't any. 'ow, don't misunderstand me. Be se I am no business man, I am not tus or envious of the successful I iness man who has accumulatedi riey. I am orily trying to suggest iim how he can be happy by using le of that money in contributing to< happiness of others, and thus en 1 his own soul. You see what I am1 ing to impress. One way to help others of this town and to telp trself is to get together and build a Idler's park. -0 notice the editor made a rem'ark put the upper square around the court house. Well, it is a beauty t and one of which our large prop y owners ought to be proud. I nt out and looked at it the other r. I was trying to think of the rantages of its present keep and I tluded we could point the stranger these gulleys and tell him that s an evidence of the excellent tiage of the city. Then that brick 1k way was kept there as a divid line so that people who passed ng in buggies and wagons and au robiles could be reminded that they i reached the point from which all' tances are computed-the centre, to speak, of the city, and to divide water so that all the drainage uld not be on one side of the old irt house nor in one street We e to have these evidences of sup >drainage in all of our -streets. --- : wish you would walk over to the on depot and look down Friend eet. That old burnt building there the corner gives the st-anger pass through the city a fine impression the beauty and attractiveness of the ce. Then. too, it is evidence that 1't be controverted of the efficiency our fire protection and the profi ncy of the fire department. It uld never do to remove the beauti charred posts and weatherboard . One burned post leans way out the sidewalk. -0 ['hen that beautiful arc light that' mncil had put up in Friend street es those passing on the trains at bht a fine opportunity to see .this red building also. The light is szling and \brilliant. Of course you 1't see this arc light in the day te because it is removed every day fear it will receive bodily injury. -o Vhat about those little triangle; yks Dr. Mayer suggested in his lec -e before one of the many woman's: bs of the city? They would help ne and give us a little start towards 'king, and they tell me-that is' 'se folks who have had the opportu tle parks like these make the cities that have them very pretty and at tractive. But what's the use? Such: things would not give us any more money. -0 The Georgia legislature is about to convene and Frank Stanton prints in his column in the Atlanta Constitu tion the following composition by a; Georgia youngster on the legislature: "Legislatures are necessary; we've; ,ot to have 'em. Like other troubles, they are for our own good, and sent .pon us for some wise purpose. We may not see it that way at the time, but it is so. For fear that you may :o along without stumbling, they nake laws to trip you up. Dad don't iave much 'say' at home, but he talks -o beat the band when he's safe in the: egislature-that is, if he don't see 4aw in the gallery." -0 W? are just going to elect our legis ature this year, The candidates seem ;o L1 slow in coming out. The coun ;y ought to elect good men. I mean >y that men who are fitted for this ort of a job. There are lots of good nen who do not make good legisla ors, but, you know, I believe this ob is sorter like running a news >aper, every fellow thinks he is fitted or it. I believe I could fill the job 1l right myself and my modesty is 11 that keeps me from going to ths egislature. But I reckon the authorities will ceep the bars down long enough to ret enough candidates out so that we nay make a selection. -0 I notice they had an inquiry in the Boyd-Brock matter, and it cost the tate a thousand dollars. Inquiry is :he thing now. -0 I notice, Mr. Editor, that your talk ibout bigger- water mains don't imount to much. This has been the :rouble with Newberry aforetime. We lo not build for the future. We go )n the doctrine that sufficient unto :he day is the evil thereof and take 1o heed for the morrow, eat, drink Lnd be merry today for tomorrow you lie, that is as to public matters. Why Are don't want to leave our children hat is those who have 'em-any debt .ven if with the debt we left them some permanent' work to show what L good investment we had made. We ion't look beyond our nose. We are iear sighted-that is about some :hings. If the money that has been iasted on the streets for the past ten rears had been put in some perma ient street work ten years ag we ~vould not have these gullies-in the I . nain streets and old ramshakle wood- ' mn b.ridges adorning so many -of our 9I principal streets, but We are afraid to make a debt and then 'when 'we do we do not use it to the best advanta~ge Well, what's the use? I will sooh be gone and It makes little difference to 1. me personally. .The Idler. Bible Day Program. There will be Bible day exercises at West End Baptist church Sunday night, June 26.
