F. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ,rrv. S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, July 1, 1910. Newberry: The city that does things. They say the supervisor has done a fine piece of work on the road at Gum Spring branch. We heard a gen tleman say the other day that it look ed like a race track. When he gets to Kinards he should work the road to Whitmire. That is a very important link. A town like an individual should have a slogan. .How would it do for Newberry to adopt the motto: Th-3 city that does things. And then, of course, do them. The need today is for men who do things, and towns that do things. There are a lot of things to do. And we should do them today. GBt busy. We notice that Secretary Hamby, of the Columbia chamber of commerce, has succeeded in getting the Seaboard to agree to put the Pullman on be tween Columbia and Atlanta. But why wait until Septemb-ar? It will take some time to get the train ad vertised and during July and August would be a good time to advertise. Let us have it on now. CHmAMER OF CO M[ERCE EXCUR SION. It has been suggested and the sug gestion has been acted upon that a special excursion will be run over the Clinchfield railroad by the various chambers of commerce of the State. The Columbia chamber of commerce has been very active and it is stated that the Woodruff chamber of com merce has spoken for an entire car for its members. Columbia will prob ably fill two cars and Spartanburg two. There is no reason why Newber ry should not join this excursion par ty and secure a car for the members .of the Newberry chamber of com merce. The matter can be taken up with Editor C. 0. Heron, of the Spartan burg Herald, or with Jno. Wood, of the Spartanburg chamber of com merce. President Hunt might look into this matter and get in communication and advise the members of the Newberry chamber of commerce what the cost of such an excursion would be. It is stated that the scene'ry on this road is the finest in America and it would be. not only a pleasant trip, but would give our members some idea of the fine road which has recent ly been built into our State and which should be extended from Spartanburg to Charleston via Newberry and Co lumbia. JUDGE C. C. BDTZLER. At a reecnt session of the court at Laurens, suitable memorial services were had in memory of Judge Char les G. Dantzler, who died while the court was in session. Judge Robert Aldrich, who was holding the court and who presided, of course, during the memorial exercises, ordered the stenographer to take down the re marks referring to the late Judge Dantzler and to send them to the daily papers in Columbia and Char leston and to the papers in Orange burg and Laurens, as well as to the family of Judge Dantzler. Judge Dantzler was one of the ab lest jurists In the State and withal a Christian gentleman. The tribute paid to him by Judge Aldrich is beautiful and true and The Herald and News takes pleasure In printing it in this connection. Judge Aldrich said: "While I should not have b-een un prepared to hear of the death of Judge Dantzler, I was, as a matter of fact, very much shocked this morning when I was informed that he had passed away. We have all known~ for some months that he was ill, and but recently 1 was informed that his illness was of a fatal character, and yet it is hard to realize that the car eer of one who has filled so large a w1aem n public nhnration and Dub "The life and characr o-f C rl G. Dantzler ought to be writtan by some one giftid in that line. and held up as au object lesson to the youth of South Carolina. If I had a son to rear and educate. I do not know a man whose example I would advise him to follow any sooner than I 1would Judge Dantzler's. "When 1 was much younger than I am now, at the beginning of my pro fessional life. liko most young men and young lawyers. I worshipped at the shrine of intellect. I tri,id to pat tern my life after the great orators and the brilliant jurists and the pro found judges of the world. I have lived long enough to know that that is a mistake. The men who move tha world, the men who do the work of the world, the men who reap the richest rewards and enjoy the high est happiness are men of moderate endowments, but who are true te themselves and develop themselves 'to the height of their capacity. Such a man was Charles G. Dantzl2r. HE was a man of decided ability: in mv judgment, of the very highest order of ability. He had the abilty to dc right at all times and under all cir cumstances-to think right, to act right. and to walk uprightly in all the relations of life. The consequencE was that he commanded the respect and the confidence of those who knev him best, and when it was known that the judge of the First circuit, about eight years ago, would not stand for reelection, Judge Dantzlei was the unanimous choice of the bar of that circuit. And that is all thal the legislature wanted to know. H could have been elected by the legis lature without the endorsement of the bar, but when those in the gen eral assembly who had a preference for him learned also that he was en dorsed by the entire bar of the First circuit he passed into office without opposition. And it was not long be fore we all saw that no mistake had been made. "Judge Dantzler and myself lived in adjoining counties, and we prac ticed together to some extent, some times on the same side, sometimes on opposite sides, and I do not think I ever saw a truer mind than his-a mind capable of reasoning correctly from premises to conclusion. And, while nmetaphysicians may not agree with me, I believe that his ability to reason correctly is explained by the fact that he always tried to reason rightly. "It is very gratifying to me, and will be to the lawyers in our part of the State, and to the bar of Orange burg and to his family, to know that at this distance from his home he was so highly valued and so much appreciated. "~You are making no mnistake, brethren, to think well of your judi cary while they live, and the con sciousness that threy will receive your meed of praise when they are gone, If they deserve it, strengthens their arms and holds up their hands in their efforts to serve you and to serve their people. None of us can stay here long, but all of us can act right ly, to the best of our human ability, what time we do stay here, and the knowledge that we will be appreciat ed by those whose good opinions we value is very comforting and very sustaining." :* * * * * * * * * * * * 1* * * THE IDLER. * * * * * * * * * * * * I see Alderman Baxter makes a statement about that light in Friend street near the union station, or the light that is not there. Surely there must be some mistake about this for I am almost absolutely certain that the railroad people would not throw any thing in the way of a light at this crossing. By the way I would be pleased, yes, dee-lighted to have Alderman Baxter's opinion on retaining those old burn ed and charred walls where the fire occurred some time ago, and where the department did too efficient work. Now this would be a most desirable place for a grocery and* soft drink es tablishment. Right on the railroad and a lot of people go this way and a beautiful business corner could be put up here. If I was rich like some of these Newberry people I would buy it and b uild a nice store room and start some. worthy young fellow in business. But then I ain't rich and maybe that is the reason. I see they are still discussing the school question in Newberry. Here is America and X getting sorter warm ed up. Somehow. I don't think I got to see the piece by America. I reck on it was good' and as the signature would indicate, permitted a very wide range for the imagination. I am go ing to try to keep sense ahead suf ficient to steer clear of this contro versy. I this connuection I want to submit ay IV: t t :s r wnv 1 11 and I want to commend it most hear tily to all thf-sr writers and to the : people' of N-birry generally. I want you to read it and cut it out and paste it in your scrap book and read it r-vrry day. Fatt is. you should kot-i) the Book from wVhich these lies are taken before you all the time, but I'm afraid some of you do not: Though I speak with the tongues ol men and of angels and have not charity. I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of pro phecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could' remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly. seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but re joiceth in the truth; Bpareth all things. believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shall' fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we pro phesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I be came a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, echar ity, these three but the greatest of these is charity. Did you know this is found in a chapter with thirteen verses and that the chapter is- 'thirteen. The Book probably you will recognize. The fact is as I have heretofore remark ed it is a great Book and should be read and reread and then if you will heed its precepts and its teachings and make them a part of your life and conduct you will be a good citizen. If more of us would rejoice in the truth. it would be a better world. Then this thing doth not behave unseemly and is not easily provoked and thinketh Si no evil. Wonder what has become of that Y. 31. C. A. building we were to have* in Newberry. Little towns like Sum- t ter and Greenville and Columbia are et raising money for a Y. M. C. A. and di here is Newberry not doing anything. -- I read in one ot the Newberry pa-: pers the other day that the good wo men of the town who are trying to keep up a library did not get much; encouragement when they went around to raise a little one hundred dollars for the maintenance of a li brary. What do you think of that?A Does it mean that everybody has a good library of his own or does it mean that the people of this college town do not appreciate the value of a bood book? The old court house building would make an ideal library building and rest room. A good li brary in there would make it so much more restful. And it ought to be a made a county affair. Well. Well, I am almost sick at heart I believe I will close hoping that you are en- U' joying the same good health of body. and mind and soul that I am and that: you are entirely satisfied with your- 'al self and your condition which I am; nit '. Give nmy love to all the chil-: dren and tell them I have been try ing hard to do something for them but I am almost getting sick at heart, and ready to ask, is it worth' while. T The Tdler. j P.
