E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at tt Postoffice at New - .* S. C.. as 2nd class matter. * Tday. July 5, 1910. Newberry: The city that does things. SELF HELP. The people of No. 4 township have the right idea about getting roads in this county. So long as everybody de pends cn the chaingang and waits *.cr the chaingang to come in order to build the 'roads we will never bave roads in Newberry county. It is a physical impossibility; without pres? ent chaingang. to keep up all the roads in the county without the help and cooperation of the peopla gener ally. In fact we 1-,lieve that if the supervisor would adopt the plan of taking his chaingang into the commu nity where the citizens offer to co opeate and assist in the wofkii-; -01 the roads with their teams and wag pns, it would stimulate an int-rest and in this way a great deaI more could be done for the improvercent of our public roads. There should b-e self.help in tbs as in cth?z matters and when it was understood that the chaingang wcid? go to tha. (Xilr + Uity which first offered to assis in the work there would be more offers from other parts of the county to help in Improving and working the roads. The trobule in this county has been,: as we have heretofore remarked, tat everybody was waiting on the chain gang and in many cases thir ppile would drive thiough deep hoks and deep places in the road which they Wou repair with little timp and iab o-, but would sit bak and "eass" thc isper+iser fdr not woring ii i,;)da We most heartily commead the spir it and actiton of the people of No. O township and hope that the*. supervis or will get there just as so)a as bc * completes the road he is n-n on to Kinards. * THE IDLER. * :5 * * * * .* * * * * * * I read -in a paper the other day where a man was sentenced to the chaingang for three' months for giv-. eing away a drink of whiskey. This is not news to the close reader of the newspapers because it -happened sev - eral weeks ago, but I just noticed it the other day. I am not givng it as news. But I was just wondering and thinking. I believe it was stated that the prohibition law passed in 1909 made it a crime to give away a drink of whiskey. Is it true that we have come to t1"t in the da-wn of this 20th century, civilization., And as a result are we getting tetter and . are our ideals and our ideas, higher and no bier and purer? Are a o better-red1 17 better-as a result' of suaJ regisla tion.. You know the whole thing of passing so many dont's is repugnant to me, but as I am part of the old re gime I thought maybe I was a back niumber and I am seriously asking if all this don't legislation is making the standard of citizenship higher and purer and better and' nobler? Is it? * :fso where and what are the symp * tdms? Then look what a great interest is being taken in the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight. A white man and a negro going into the~ arena and engaging in a fight. It is :nore barbarous and un civilized than are the: . Spanish bull fights. And yet the people who are arianging for it claim they will clear $100,000. Seats sold for $50 each. -I saw in some paper where a holiness negro congragation w'as going to hold service all day during the fight and have prayer and song for the success of Johnson. Are these symptoms of better times- and a purer and higher living? The great American people will have special bulletiL-s all ovor the country taking ihe news from -his contest between the negro and the white man and yet pass a law that will put me on the&chaingan2g if I give nty friend a high bail or a miut julep. It all seems very queer to me, but I reckon I am out of date and out of touch with modern civilization ano modern Christianity. -0 Did you read in the paper the other day where a judge out in Illinois had read nor taught in 'the public school and that there must be no religious xc':Cises?N Well, I did. -0 I read somewhere that the city of Columbia was going to pass an ordi nance against dogs running on the street without a muzzle. Seems to me that Newberry passed such an ordi nance some time ago. Am I right, or not? Guess it must be so for I saw a great big grown man:m on tbe streol the other day following a string tha: was fastened to the neck of a big, fierce looking, bob tail, bull dog. I don't know where the dog was taking !him, but I suppose it was just show ing him the town or maybe was try ing to find The Idler's park. -And then a couple weeks ago I saw another fierc. looking "bull dog following a buggy and there was no string to his neck and no muzzle over his nose. But then he was keeping close up to the buggy, and nobody could get in his way. That must be a peculiar kind of charm which brings a grown man to: love one o fthese animals. -0 if the visitors in the city next week to the P. L. C. convention should ob serve that the city clock is a little fast, it should not be taken as an evidence that this is a' fast town or as an indi cation that we desire they shall hurry away or anything of that kind. It is' just tour way, so that the street force may get to work on time and get to stop a little ahead of time. That is all. The clock is correct, only it Is about eight minutes fast. The Idler. THE MEN OF THE MAIS HAVE C-PTURE NEWBERRY (Continuad from page one.) with the main roads in other counties, thus forming a chain of good roadsi throughout the State with -every link in good traveling condition. This of fice should also have the power to grade the.roads wherever the public; good required. He also recommends that the pro gram of thel annual conv@ntion - be made to cover three days instead of two and that another officer be added so that the association could have a chaplain.

The report will' be on the' line of a mutual protective associa tion. The report of the delegates to the: Rochester convention was submitted by Mr. E. W. 'Coiner, chairman of the delegation.

Green ville county. Many courtesies are being extended the visitors while in the city. Death of MIr. Allison. Mr. W. S. Allison died after a sud den illness at 6.30 o'ciock - Sunday ~morning of congestion" of 'the Drain. 'He went home Saturday night andi after his bath, about 11 o'clock read until a little after 1 o'clock. He was apparently as well as ever. A little after 2 o'clock Mrs. Allison heard him trying to vomit and she hurried to his ~assistance an<d saw that he was se riously ill. A doctor was hastily sum moned. but the sick man was too fat in the. throes of decath to be saved by the doctor. This fatal attack coming at the time was most distressing and heart rending in view of the fact that Mr. Allison had only recently lost a n; uMe very agonizing cire stances, his son, Mr. B. G.

C., and it is peculiarly sad that so oon after returning from the burial f the son at Hendersonville Mrs Al ,ison has been called upon to suffer a econd sudden shock and blow in the leath of another loved one. It callg rth the deepest sympathy of all. Mr. Allison was forty-five years old. e came to Newberry about fourteen rears ago and with the exception of wo years has been with Mr. C.- C. avis regularly since that time. The eat of his having been so long and ntinuously in the empl'oy of Mr. Dvis attests his character and abil Lt in fine workmanship. He Was I rice married. Besides his 'wife he aves a'daughter, Miss Marie Allis-on, tmourn his death, and also two ns by the first union, Mr. HurseAl lison, of Newberry, and Guy, wnc Les with his grandfather Allison, in Eandersonville. The remains were Sunday niight taen to Hendersonville, the former me of the deceased. THE NEWS OF PROSPERITY. me Reading Friday ETening-Young Folk Pienic at Little Mountain. Personal.
