The question of putting a parlor car on the Atlantic Coast Line, C., N. & L. and C. & W. C. between Green ville and Charleston, is being agitat ed by the chamber of commerce of Sumter and has been taken up with President Childs by the chamber of commerce of Columbia. This mat ter was agitated some time ago by The Herald a'ad News and the Greenville News. In a conversation some time ago with President Childs, of the C., N. & L., he stated that he could not with his present equipment, handle this additional car, and to do so would necessitate a heavier engine, which he did not think his road-bed would stand if the present fast schedule was maintained. Mr. Childs stated that he had secured the very best possible coaches that are oper ated by the Coast Line and had ar ranged to have them run through from Charleston to Greenville with out change, and in his judgment it was better to keep this first-class equipment and good schedule, which would accommodate all who travel on his line, rather than to put on a lighter and cheaper equipment for the general travel and the parlor car, which would be used by only' a few. For these reasons Mr. Childs does not think it advisable or feasi ble for him to accede at the request for a parlor car equipment. The Coast Line, if it desires, might operate a parlor car between Columbia and Charleston as is done by the Southern. Mr. Childs stated that he had been making an effort to put a Pullman on b's afternoon and morning trains, and in connection with the Seaboard, operate the Pullman between Colum bia a.nd Atlanta. This would make the travel between Columbia and Atlanta much more comfortable and convenient than the schedule now operated. It would permit passen gersi from Columbia to Atlanta to take the sleeper at Columbia and reach Atlanta for breakfast without change. Retuirning, passengers could leave Atlanta after the day's business, and be in Newberry next morning for breakfast or in Colum bia by 10.30 o'clock. Such a Pull man service Mr. Childs is very anx ious to put on and it has been up to the Seaboard for some time. This would be a great accommodation for persons visiting Atlanta, and we would be glad to see the chambers of commerce along the line take hold of the proposition which we believe would meet the approva' of both roads concerned. Mr. Childs does not think that the parlor car service would pay his road and for that reason in addition to the fact that it could not be handl ed with his present equipment, he is not willing to undertake it. According to the law quoted by Major Francis W. Higgins it would seem that any teacher to be eligi ble to election by the toard of trus tees of the city school must either have a diploma from some chartered college in South Carolina, or hold a first grade certificate from the board of examiners for Newberry county. This must be held by the teacher when elected. That being the case the young man who is elected as principal was ineligible at the time of his election, and, therefore, no rincipal has been legally elected. In the'daily 'papers this week giv ing the provisions of the public build ings' bill we did not notice any men tion made of the increase for the building at Newberry. When we were in Washington some two weeks ago, we were told that a provision for $10,000 increase at Newberry was in the bill, making the total of $60, 000 for the building here. A fifty or sixty thousand dollar governmem. building doesn't make much show, and really Newberry ought to have at least a $75,000 building, but we will be delighted if the government will proceed with the building such as we are to have and get it complet ed. * * ** * * * * * * *. * *! * THE IDLER. * ** * * * * * *- * * * * They tell Jne that "Talking it Over" in the Augusta Chronicle has been appointed postmaster at Augus ta. Just think of it! An ordinary newspaper man to get such a fat berth. Wonder why somebody didn't tell President Taft about me. I am sure he would have remembered ma in some substantial way if he only knew what great and unselfish labor I had rendered the people. I hope somebody will call me to his atten tion. He might have some sort of a job I could fill. And I am sure he has a tender spot in that big heart of his for all newspaper man for I am told that he was once a newspap er reporter. But then I am not what could be termed a newspaper reporter. I on ly write this stuff for the lova of it and have to live by some other way. My wants are few and simple, and it does not take much to supply them. But I would like to draw a good monthly stipend from Uncle Sam for a short time just to know what sort of sensation it would create. I was walking down one of these paved sidewalks we have in New berry the -other day and I was just wondering why the people who have the privilege of having this modern 'improvement in front of their doors permitted the dirt to get so thick on these walks when it would be so easy to keep them clean. Just a little broom exercise for a few moments every morning would keep them clean. A little self-help-call it phy sical culture, you know-would add so much to the improvement -of the streets. I suppose they are waiting for the chaingang. Or maybe they are afraid somebody else would en joy walking on a clean sidewalk. --- I heard a gentleman say once when the question of voting bonds for roads in No. 6 was up that some peo ple up there would not vote for bonds for roads because the people of No. 7 township would have to use the roads in coming to Newberry. They did not propose to build roads for the use of the people of No.. 7. That is one way -to look at It. Until civic pride begins at home and in front of your own door it can not take hold of the community. No body will dispute that When I was young I use to hear some of the old farmers talk about book farming and they didn't have much faith- In it. The reason was that some of the fellows who made the prettiest and most eloquent agricultural address es and orations were the most miser able failures with their farms. I have seen a little of that sort of thing myself. I reckon it was somewhat like that old preacher who served a certain congregation in this county in the old days and was probably not always a shining example of rectitude and right living. or probably realized that he was human and liable to depart from the straight and narrow path. At any rate it was to.ld of him that he advised his flock to do as he told them and not as he did. I expect when the whole thing is reduced to its last analysis we can all tell the other fellow better how to do than we can show him by exam-, ple. It is so much easier, you know. That is the reason I' am telling you hwto keep your sidewalks in front of your own door. You know how. clear our vision becomes when direct ed at the other fellow. We can see the mote in his eye even with the' big beam in our own eye which we~ do not see. Did you ever notice what' an ardent prohibitionist some peo pie are who once tried to drink all' the liquor that was manufactured. Why they don't want a fellow to have a little for personal use. Do you think it is for real love of fellow man? Think about it a moment. -0 Why, Mr. Editor, here is your co - temporary who doesn't want any of you editors to ride on a railroad pass in exchange for advertising because' he has suddenly discovered after us-' ing one of these p)asteboards for 25, or 30 yaars, that it is a species of. bribery, and he is constantly talking about it. He wants to save all you fellows. Is it for real, true, love of his brethren? -0 Seems to me I rena somewhere oici whCre the Great Toacher ex liorted, "Let a man examine him-. self," or words to that effect. Self examination is a great thing if done in humility and not with too exalted opinion of yourself. -0 I was not joking the other day about that old burned building in Friend street near the depot. It can not give the stranger a good taste of Newberry as he passes along on the train and I wish there was some way to get it removed. --o All this that I am telling you about Newberry is for real love of my peo ple and for their happiness. It doesn't make a snap of your finger's differ ence to me personally whether you do any of the things I have advocated or not. I am satisfied. I do not desire to own any real estate in Newberry. I,Von't pay any tax and have no prop erty to be enhanced in value and that park and other improvements can't by any possibility be of any financial benefit to me. I don't care whether you move the government postoffice in Main street, or down in the bot tom in front of the jail, or build it where the government elected to put it, so far as I am personally concern ed. But I just can't help telling you what is best to be done because I see with an impartial eye and with no beam in it. You know, some times I have wished I was more selfish. That is the way to make the dollar. Look out for yourself and put .the dollarl in your pocket and when you get it the dollar-you are it, and nobody cares how it came. -0-. I have -been wondering why the town clock is always about 5 to 8 minutes fast. The clock seems to keep good time but is always just a little ahead. Seems to me that it ought to be made to keep correct time. Will some one answer why it is kept a little ahead of time.

It has always been considered a nuisance, but re cent studies have shown it to be very much more than a mere nuisance. The germs of intestinal and filth dis- " eases are readily. carried in large - numbers from the excreta of patients ter suffering from typhoid, dysentery and cholera direct to food intended th~ for human consumption and even to . I the fingers and face and lips, of a tel babe or sleeping person. fea Flies breed in filth and offal of any Lii kind, preferring above all else the. fresh droppings of horses and mules. Large numbers wll develop in human1 excrement and in garbage barrels, at places where dish water is thrown1 out a'nd wherev6r decaying animal or vegetable matter occurs. The adult flies are constantly pass ing back and forth from such ma terials, where they deposit their eggs, e to other materials upon which they themselves feed. They prefer sweets, but are attracted by almost any kind of human food. Flies do not ordinarily travel to any great distance and if a little care is taken their numbers may be great ly reduced. Especially does the far -I1 mer have the chance of abating the pest so far as his own premises are concerned. The eggs laid by flies hatch in about a day into the famiar white maggots. After about five days spent feeding, if the food supply is unlimit ed, and a couple of days in a resting stage, the adult fies appear. It takes them slightly more than a l week from fly to fly. If manure can be disposed of, hauled to either' the field or a compost heap some dis tance from the house every five to seven days, no flies will be able to p develop. If it is not possible to thus. Ue dispose of the manure, it may be pos sible to provide a room, dark and. thoroughly screened into which the manure may be put until it can be Fo disposed a~ Of all the substances used to kill or repel flies the one which has provenJ most satisfactory is ordinary air slacked lime. Lime Is a first class deordorant. A free use of it around all stables, privies and garbage cans will cause those ploces to lose half of their disagreebale features, and they m will cease to be attractions and breeding places for that menace to US health-the common house fly.
