AN, Bntered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, December 9, 1910. MEN WHO DO THINGS. Honors do not always fall where they rest most gracefully, but it seems peculiarly fitting that the president of the First Corn exposition and the man who has striven so faithfully, en ergetically, progressively, and intelli gently to make the exposition a suc sess from the beginning and who has succeeded so well should prove, in competition open to the three States, that ha not only knows the value of growing good corn, but does grow the prize winning quality. The State con gratulates President A. D. Hudson, of Newberry, on the fine collection of beautiful silver cups that are acquirad by him as trophies. To the victor in the noble industrial contests should go the prizes. The work of Mr. Hudson has been the work of a patriotic South Caro linia. His office as presidant of the association is one that will be ac corded honor in this section becausE of what he has done in the unselfisb endeavor to build up South Ca,rolina. Entering an un;L-ied field, giving his time and defraying I 4- expenses, he bas won success, and helped lay the foundation for the addition of Xany millons to the wealth' of his State, -and for benefiting those who most need the helping band. And there Is another Individual who muut be remembered when the suc cess of the corn exposition and the tremiendous awakening of the corn growing spirit in this State is men tioned. A. G. Smith, the scientific as sistant of the Bureau of Farm lian 2gement, iocated In Columbia, has been President Hudson's right hand. Mr. Smith is not a native of tisi State; he comes from the "corn country" bf thre mid-west, but ie iea fiiMe faith in South Cardiin&% soil gud Olini&te for ara production than biost of ou?r own farmers. 111s enthusiasm and tireless work and direction have given triemendous aid to the movement "all along the line"-as Commissioner Watson would say.--Columnbia State. The above is well said. You know the slogan for Newberry city and county is "The City and County That Doeis 'Tingsf" and, of counse, the men who compose the city and county are necessarily men who do things. There is much hope 'in the increased interst on the part of our farmers throughout South Carolina in diversi fied farming-hope for a better and brighter and more prosperous agi cultural community, 'without whiich. we can not have a prosperous State. The Herald and Ne'ws has for years beien advocating tisi policy and hs talked so much about growing corn and other things that are needed on the farm that it sometimes felt that it was boring ts readers, and, it is, therefore, gratifying to use to see this increased interest along these lines. We are also delighted to know that Mr. Hudson's farm is successful, be cause it means much for tbis county to have right in the midst of our far mers a successfu:1 farm conducted along the lines of diversified farming, and we congratulate President Hud son, and all those who have co-operat ed with him, on the success of this first corn exhibition in this section ol the country. It is true that South Carolina leads - te world's record in the graatest numnber of bushels of corn grown o13 one acre, and yet, we believe, leads the world's record also on the smualiast average number of bushels grown petr acre, and we believe this awakening will cange this lowest record of the average number of bushels per acre. We know that it has done a great deal for better conditions in this county. We are glad to note in the Observer a local paragraph favoring the pas ing of some of the9rmain streets-.t 'will be remembered that so:ne Lime during this year bitulithie con. n made a very favorable proposition for payir'g the n)uW' eqpqre A : nuD' be of the leading streats and the ments coul have been carried through several years and the amount would not have been missed. It was a great mistake in our opinion that this proposition was not accepted. Of course some technical question was ( raised, but if the citizens generally I had let city council know that they - favored the proposition, it could have 3 been agreed to and the paving put I down and the notes paid without any I one feeling the burden. We hope that the new city council will take up the matter and have some permanent work of this kind done during the coming year. The saving i in annual repairs, not to speak of the I convenience, would have been more than the interest on the amount in vested. Smith-Swittenberg. Prominent among the lovely wed- C dings of the iseason was that of Miss t Ellen Smith, of Kinards, to Mr. Wim. J. Swittenberg, of Newberry. The cera- I mony was certainly a scene of beauty and loveliness. The first floor of the attractive country home of the bride's parents was decorated most elabor ately with quantities of chrysanthe mums, smilax, bamboo and ferns. The room in which the ceremony took place was all white and green, and the bride and groom stood under an] exquisite wedding bell made of white chrysanthemums. Miss Smith wore an exquisite wedding gown of white messaline and carried a shower bou quet of white roses and delicate ferns. She was attended by har sisters, Mrs. J. E. Senn and Mrs. H. B. Workman,): as dames of honor, and the maid of honor, Miss Helen Smith. During the evening the beautiful old song, "At Nighfalil," was sung most charmingly by Miss Pet Merchant, and Miss Lucy Hi1 played Mendelssohn's wed<ing march just as the wedding party were ent6ring the parlor. In contrast to the white of the par- t k1or the daiing room was in yellow 1 and green and a most elaborate j course supper was served. 't Mr. Swittenberg, the groom, is one of the most popular Newberry men, t and is considered one of .thie best I hardware clerks in ithe State, and Miss I .MAKE SO A Nice Christ The perplexing question buy at moderate cost that propriateness and practicat appeal to your sense of rea following bargains offered The Newberry Insurance IREAL ESTATE No. 1.
