E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Serry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, August 30, 1910. COL. CREWS IN NEWBERRY. Col. Thos. B. Crews the veteran ed itor of the Laurensville Herald, at tended the State campaign ma. in Newberry on Saturday, 1 eng the guest of Mayor Blease while here. Col. Crews has been in the newspaper business a long number of years and may be called the dean of the profes sion in South Carolina, both from the standpoint of long service and of pop ularity among his brethren. In feel ing he is still one of the "boys," and nothing delights him more than to be with his brother editors and his friends in other lines of business throughout the State-and all are his friends who know him. Col. Crews is one of South Caro lina's sons who has stood by her when men were demanded. He has been tried and found not wanting when pa triots and a high degree of patriotism as shown by deeds, were needed to save South Carolina to the Anglo Saxon race, and in times less strenu ous he has alw!ys stood for what he believed to be for the best interests of his people. Col. Crews' many warm friends in Newberry are always glad to see him, and -hope that he will visit them soon and frequently. THE VOTE OF 190S. The vote for governor in the pri mary two years ago was less than a hundred thousand, but in many of the counties the severe rains and high waters kept man'y from the polls. It may be interesting, however, t have the figures for the last primary. The following is the vote for gov ernor in the last election: Abbeville...........-.-...1,626 Aiken............-----... 3,751 Anderson............ .---3,813 Bamberg. .......---.---.---.1,192 Barnwell.......---'-.--.-2,190 Berkeley... ....---.------.---1,204 Charleston...........----. 5,148 Calhoun...............-.--792 Cherokee.............--.. 1,655 Chester...........-.--.--..1,836 Chesterfield. ... ........ ..... 2,280 Colleton...... ....---.---.--2,760 Darlington...........--.-..2,520 Dorchester.............---.1,406 Edgefield................--.-1,736 Fairfield.......... ......--.-1,512 Florence... ........... -...2,431 Georgetown....-.......------ 1,467 Greenwood... ... ... ... ..... 2,296 Greenville............-- ..-.---.3,828 Hampton...............-.--1,754 Horry.h..... .... ... ....... 3,287 Kershaw............-...----1,405 Lancaster ... ... .... ....... 2,367 Laurens... ...........--.. 2,514 Lee. ... ... ... ........--.... 1,556 Lexington .. ...... ....--.....3,801 Marlboro.......... ..--....2,158 Marion... ..... .... ...... ...3,460 Newberry... ... ...... ... ... 2,617 Oconee... ... ... .. .........2,525 Orangeburg... ... ....... ....2,219 Pickens... ... ... ....... ......2,319 Richland ... ... ... ... ... ..3 ,266 Saluda. ... ...... ...... ...2,089 Spartanburg... ... ... ... ...5,669 Sumter... ... ... ..... ... . 1 ,980 Union... .... ... ..... .. .. 2,520 Williamsburg... ... ... ..... 2,198 York... ... ... ...... ...... .3,239 Total. .... ....... ... .....92,586 On account of the heavy rains in 1908 there were many voters who were unable to get to the polls. The esti mate of the number of voters in the State in 1908 was 100,000. The vote for Clarendon county is not given in the above table. Since the last elec tion Dillon county has beenL formed and as a result the vote of Marion county will not be so large for the coming election. Col. W. W. Moore. candidate for ad jutant general, is a gentleman who would do credit to the office. He has many friends in Newberry, as he has throughout South Carolina. Of mag netic personality, and with the ability to give the State good service, his friends are confidently expecting a * * * * * * * * * * * *1 * * THE IDLER. * ** ,* * * * * * * * * * * * I see by the papers that the county campaign meeting for Newberry was. advertised to be held and was held' in Willowbrook park. That was very nice of Mr. Wright and Mr. Davis and all the others who built and who con trol Wiillowbrook to permit this. I wonder if the rich patriots on the Eastside don't feel bad. Because they have no such beautiful place as this Willowbrook and do you see how many different things it may be used for. Well, it is a nice place, this Wil lowbrook. and I am still hoping and laboring to the end that we may yet get the movement started over on the Eastside. There is plenty of money. -no shortage along that line-but there is contraction of the heart drawing up, shriveling away as it were -that same old selfish spirit which is afraid to do anything for fear it may benefit some one else who has not contributed anything. We hope gra dually to get rid of that spirit and those who persist in their obstinacy and continue to be stumbling blocks to civic improvement we are going to send to Helena-you know with which letters omitted. -0 The Idler's park is coming. Mr. Burton sent me word by the editor the other day that he was going to do something pretty soon. There can't be much accomplished until the options on some of the creek bottoms have been obtained. It seems to me that the peo ple who own these bottoms would: be patriotic enough to donate what is needed to make the park so as to en hance the value of their adjacent property. That motive would be a selfish patriotism and yet it would accomplish what I want. Let every body join hands and build a park. We are big enough now not to be jealous and envious and to be able to do a little something for the general wel- i fare. Fact is the town is big enough for every one to attend to his own! business and -not try to. run the af fairs of others and that being true we can get together and build the park. I am really delighted to see the in creased interested I have brought about in the matter of lawns. Of course I didn't do the work with my physical body, but I just kept telling how pretty it would be if some of them: were given a little attention until now there are some very pretty lawns in ~the city. Look at Central Methodist, for instance. Why, Jno. Mayes .just keeps that beautifully. And they tell me that the First Baptist law is be ing put in good shape and that they are not going to farm on it any more. I am going around that way some of' these days when the weather gets cooler and look at it for myself. And I will "write it up." And then you ko t was said about a year ago that the Lutheran lawn had been transformed into an onion farm, but! that now the lawn was pretty and green and neatly kept.. In fact I was at this church recently and it is greatly improved. Now I want to see' the several school properties keep up pretty lawns. They are educators. -0 I found the following in the South-' ern Christian Advocate of recent date' credited to the Laurens Herald. As the Advocate says it is well worthy a place in any one's scrap book, but better still place it in the scrap book of your cranium. The Advocate also suggests the reading of the book of ~James at least once a month and I second the motion. How many delight in passig along every little slander they hear. It would be a good idea to read some other passages from that Great Book on the tongue: "Yes, pass it along, whether you believe it or not--that one-sided whis per against the character of a virtu-: ous female. You say you do not be-: Flieve it, but you will use your influ ence to clear up the false report and pass it on the current. Strange crea tures are mankind!

How many in dividuals have been shunned by a gen te, mysterious hint! How many pnre bosoms have been wrung with grief by a single nod! How many graves have been dug by a false report! Yet you' will pass the slander along; you will keep it above the waters by the wag of your tongue when you might sink it forever. Destroy the passion for telling a tale. we pray you. Lisp not a w ord that may injure the character of another. Be determined to listen to no story that is repeated to the ir. jury of another, and as far as you are' co cerned the slander will die.
