VOLUME XLVIM. NUMBB 66. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAT, AUGUST 19, 1910. TWICE A WEE, S1U A Y * THE IEDLER& * * * * * * * * * * * * I have been wanting to get to some 4ue of the county campaign meetings so as to b- able to hear all of the can didates, but this weather is so hot I can't keep cool at home and it must be hard work to listen to so many speeches and then eat the fine barbe cue dinners the good people of New berry county know how to serve. I wish I could vote for all the candi dates but then you know I can't. I always did feel sorry for the candi iate and yet I know he is happy or always- pretends to be and sometii: s I expect a large part of his happiness is only on the surface. -o Speaking about candidates, I read the following somewhere recently and it may be appropos-is that good?-at this time. Read it: The News of the Settlement. '"Politics all the rage hero, and de leated candidates will soon be doing all the raging. Farmers threaten to sue them for damages, caused by 'wearin' off the hinges on the home :gates; they've got to do some fence - ixin', yet all of 'em say its too hot to split rails; their business, they tell us, is to 'save the State,' and yet, the State looks healthier than they do, an' full able to save itself. However, they don't want the whole earth, but will be satisfied with all the offices in -0 I wonder if any of our fishermen you know every other day a party from Newberry goes a fishing-have had the happy surprise of the editor 'who relates his experience as follows -he calls it a birthday surprise: "We celebrated our birthday on Tuesday last," says the editor of the Adams Enterprise, "by going fishing with an old friend who grew up with us and is familiar with our ways. We did not carry a jug with us, but, to our great surprise, found a two-gal Ion ame in the hollow of a cypress log. Have no idea who put it there. Dea con Brown went fishing the day be . ore, but, of course, we don't accuse 1im, as the jug was half-full when we Tound it. We did not hurry home. We fished all day, all. night and all next morning. The jug was all we caught --but it was a plenty!" -0 In North Carolina it has been de cided that there is no law to prohibit .a rooster from crowing. It is held that it is the high prejogative of a ooster to crow at any time that he elects. It seems they have a law up there to prevent a chicken to roam at large, but that does not apply to a crowing ro'oster and I don't reckon it would apply to a crowing hen, or a cackling hen for that matter. In some places they have laws to prevent jack asses braying in the town and thus disturbing the quiet slumbers of the inhabitants and even in Newberry there is an ordinance to prevent the blowing of a railroad whistle or ring ing a railroad bell by any train pass ing through the incorporate limits of the city-that is while in the city limits. I do not see why it should not also apply to chicken roosters and chicken hens crowing or caciing ard also to some human noises I have heard which sometimes by a stretch et the imagination some people call vocal music and accompanied by what they call a piano. But I must get back -to the chicken. I read the following account of the trial and acquittal of the rooster in some paper: -0 Judge P. C. Cocke, police justice or the city of Asheville, has proved him self a friend of the old dominicker rooster in the exercise of their high prerogative in crowng thrice before daybreak. Judge Cocke held that .crowing before daybreak was an in herent right of a rooster and one that neither could the "Weaver chicken law" nor the State of North Carolina take away. There is nothing in the statute books which prohibits a roos ter from crowing and the Weaver law was brought from the dusty shelves in an effort to bring relief. This law forbids chickens to disturb neighbors by running at large. The case grew cut of a warrant sworn out by Stanley Hfowland, a neighbor of Dr. Winston's. Th which i-r was comnplin0d that the his neighbors that he would do all he could to keep his roosters at home but he would not bargain to keep them from crowing. Dr. Winston, who is a former president of the A. & M. and University of North Carolina, now retired on the Carnegie fund, is of fe-ing a reward of $5 to any -ine who can offer a remedy for keeping his rooster from crowing and yet not in jure him. Should the tongue be slit he would be subject to the S. P. C. A., so he is awaiting the suggestion. -0 Seems to me here is a suggestion contained which if grasped at the pro per and opportune time by some of our legislators. or legislative candidates, contains the germs for a reputation and a fame far beyond anything to be at+inid by discussing or cussing the liquor question. It is this, pass a law regulating the crowing of a roos ter or the cacling of a hen or the braying of an ass within certain lim its of a dwelling or of the making of any other unseemly and discordant noise so as to disturb the quiet and peace and slumber of the community, and also to prevent all such animals running at large unless they are prop erly labeled and muzzled. There is greater opportunity for fame in this proposition than there is in "Uncle Godfrey's" dog bill or his safety match proposition. I don't charge any of you anything for the suggestion. The Idler. P. S.-I will continue my ideas along this line in my next. It is too hot to be long drawn out. T. I. Mr. Branson's Card. To the Editor of The Herald and News: The card of Mr. Brunson, that you copy from the State, does Mr. Featherstone grave injustice. T-! statement that Mr. Featherstone ha.l any purpose to disband the prohibi tionists is absurd, and the statement that, just a few weeks before. he joined in a meeting to put in the fif ld a State ticket on a prohibition-license 1platform," is utterly without founda tion. The following men were at the meeting at the Jerome hotel to which Mr. Brunson refers: the Rev. Lou!s J. Bristow and Messrs. Hamel, C. C. Featherstone, J. A. McCullough, W. P Houseal, W. H. Wallace, C. A. Smith. J. A. Hoyt and George B. Cromer. I think Mr. Brunson will find it hard to convince the people of this State that these gentlemen were in favor of' a prohibition-license, or any other sort of license, or that they were false to the cause of prohibition. The main purpose of the meeting, as I under stand it, was to try to devise some plan by which the State dispensary could be destroyed and to discuss the advisability of having some man an nounce himself as candidate for gov ernor arid some one as a candidata for the United States senate, on an anti-dispensary platform. Nothing was said or done by Mr. Featherstone or any other member of this confer ence, that was in favor of a license or that was unfavorable to prohibition It was the sense of the meeting that it would be unwise for the prohibi tionists to put out a State ticket, and Mr. Featherstone was simply cac'ry ing out the views of those that were at this conference when, a short time later, he attended the meeting of the prohibtionists and used his influe'jce against the nomination of a State fick et. Im may add, as a further act o! justice to Mr. Featherstone, that he was not seeking the office of gover nor at that time, but that Mr. Joseph A. McCullough was urged by a num ber of the members of the conference to allow his name to be user. The to allow his name to be used. The Brunson's card is that he has been grossly deceived or misinformed. Geo. B. Cromer. August 17. 1910. JOINT PICNIC. At Little Mountain of Several Frater nal Orders-Everybody Invited August 25.
