Newb-arry: The city that does
things.
The Herald and News says: "New
berry is a city that does things." Cer
tainly, but we 2think Newberry ought
to be ashamed of some of the things'
she does.-Anedrson Mail.
It is better to do things, even you
do make a mistake occasionally than
never to do anything worth while.
Stagnation is death.
The heavy rains in this section have
apparently done great damage to the
crops. This condition and the com
plaints from many sections as to crop
conditions induces us to quote from
the Augusta Chronicle, the experience
of Nick Downer, a negro farmer who
is respected by the whites and -who
is prosperous and whom the Chron
icle says is a philosopher.
The following is the interview he
is said to have given out to the Wash
ington Gazette-Chronicle recently:
"Boss, the hail got my crop Cunday
evening. Nearlyzall of my cotton was
chopped out, and the hail left only
little stems; very few leaves were
left on any of it. The blides on my
corn were cut into strings, but I
know that will come out all right. I
would feel like my cotton was ruined,
but I remember that about 20 years
ago, my cotton was done the same
way, and I thought it was ruined. I
waited on it a while, when it began
to come out and this made me work
it hard. That year I made sixty bales
of cotton with five plows, the best
crop I ever made before or since. This
is what makes me think ghat all of
us who have been struck by the hail
this year, are going to do be er than
we think we will."
That is the secret after all of suc
cess in almost every calling but espe
cially that of farming and that is hard
work, and it is true also in thiis neck
of the woods that we have never been
known to make a failure in the pro
duction of corp, especially a cotton
crop.
When things look gloomy work the
harder and have faith and be cheerful
and the "blues" will flee from you. It
does no good to whine or complain at
the doings of Nature for Nature's God
does all things well. E you will do
your part faithfully and well though
apparently you have only stems and
stalks, you may yet make 12 bales to
the plow.
*, THE IDLER.*

I heard somebody say the other day!
that Mr. VWicker had set the clock cor
rectly ands that now you could set
your watch by it and if you remained
with it-I mean your watch kept time
with the town clock-you would al
ways have correct Washington or
Eastern time. I told you so. I knew
Monroe Wicker would do the right
thin~g and that as soon as, he was re
-minded courteously that the clock by
running just a little a head of time
was an annoyance to the people that
he would correct it. There is noth
ing like going at a thing in the rightI
way.
The lesson to impress is that you
must always be polite and courteous
and not pretend to possess all knowl
edge and believe that when you pass
to that other shore that all wisdom
will depart from the earth. Wise men
and fools have both inhlabited the
earth since the days of Solomon and
-I presume will remain unti'l the end
of time, or until the milleunium. Just
what the proportion now is or wheth
oem it is changing or has charged I do
not know. I try mighty hard to per
suade myself to believe that the
world is growing better and that the
men and women are expanding in
that knowiedge and wisdom which
makes them better. but sometimes my
faith receives some powerful shocka
-0
Now, I have Zi neard any more
about en i.re act that Senator John
stone passed which Alderman Bax
ter talked about which would give
the remnants and the silent sentnelis
that tell of- old burned buildings, and
efficient service by volunteer firemen
and which still stand.
-0
Until wacan get the authority from
the legislature to regulate these old
burned or partly burned buildings, I
would suggest to council or the com
missioners of public works-whoever
had it done (?) that that bright and;
dazzling arc light in Friend street
near the union station be confined:
strictly to the moonlight schedule.
-O
These heavy rains are convincing
evidence-that Is convincing to any
reasonable and thinking human be
ing-of the folly and waste of money
of the manner of street work that is
being done, that has been done for the
past hundred years or more. Just
walk out in front of your nose on any
street or sidewalk and see the evi
dence in the gullies and ditches. No
system, no intelligent estimate of the
amount of water to be cared for or
of the capacity of the drainage pipes.
Just going along in a guess work
fashion practically throwing away
the people's money. Same thing is
true of the county in the matter of
road working. The city and the coun
ty each, or both, should have a civil
engineer who knows his business and
have him direct the 'work on the
roads and streets. It would be
economy in the end. They tell me
the beautiful piece of work done at
Gum Spring branch washed away.
That was said to be a nice piece of
work. But correct estimate was not
made of the volume of water that was
likely to come that w,ay and when it
came the abutments went. It is the
case of the man who built his house
upon the sands and the winds and the
rains came and beat upon that house,
and you know the result. If you do
not, look up that passage and red it.
This is a great country or it seems
to me that the farmers would not be
able to make any crop this year. Cot
ton is a great plant. You can scarce
ly keep it from making a crop. It
has been a good many years since I
Earmed, or in fact did anything much,
but I believe if I were farming this
year I would get the blues. But
what's the use to complain at the
works of Nature. We can't change a
single spot and it is simply ours to1
go along and do our duty every day
and have faith, and all things will
:ome right.

Will not some one dream a dream
aout my park. That's the thing now
hat we need. Come on Americanus
mnd dream a drear and help me. I
am not givng up - or getting faint
earted, but I am growing old and
: do want to live to see my park a
reality. - The Idler.

In common with the big majority of
epartments in Newberry this depart
ent is glad that the town clock has
een regulated. Let' us all return
hanks.
Its easy sometimes to read between
he lines. Colleton News.-Especial
y when you read between the lines~
like this: -

A Kansas editor accounts for the
igh cost of living in this style: "We
hrow away ashes and buy soap; we!
raise dogs and buy hogs; we grow
weeds and buy vegetables and
rooms; we catch fish with a $4 rod;
we build school houses and send our
cildren awa'y to be educated, and
lastly we send our boys out with a
$40 gun and a $10 dog to kill 15-cent
ame." That just about covers the
round. In Newberry too.
This thing of calling chickens at
about ,5a. m.-"cheek, cheek, chee
kee," sometimes accompanied by
beating tin pans-ought to be chang
d. Some people don't have to get
up at 5 o'clock and would like to
sleep. Just open your mouth, the
hickens will come.
The town clock has at last been
made to strike on time. What do yon
think of that?.

Six days without food or drink, ex
