~4 1 Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, January 13, 1911. Newberry: The city that does things. 'NOW FOR THE PARK. It seems to us that the proposition w.Uich Mr. J. A. Burton directs us to submit to The Idler in regard to the park and which The Idler uses in its column should appeal to the public spirited citizens oL.Newberry and that steps should be taken. at once to se cure this land. We think Mr. Bur +6n,; estiniato of the value of his land is reasonable The other land can be ad from Mr. P. E. Scott and the Gntt estate and others at reasonable figures and it should be secured before it is cut nto lots and built upon. The place is ideal ofr a park. It lies on either side of' Scott's creek from M0ollege street to Calhoun street and with very little work could be ma'de into a beautiful park. The lo cation is near to all the residence sec tion of the town, and we sincerely hope that those of our citizens who have the aneans will cooperate with -Mr. Burton and secure the land and organize a park commission and be gin work at once. There are many and good reasons why the park should not 'belong to the city but arrangeents could be made with the city for policing and. caring for the, grounds. It will take five or six thousand dol lars to secure all the land needed and to lay out the grounds and do the nec essary work to open' the park. This amount ought to be raised easily, when it is to be used for a purpose that will be of so untold benefit to all our people. Think how the people en joy goiug to Willowbrook and what a pleasant recreation it is and we are sure when you do you will be willing Sto cooperate and aid in this work. This is one propoition on which there should be no division of opinion. THE (CENSUS. Mr. W. Y. Fair, one of the census enumerators for the ,city of New'berry, says there is a mistake in .the figures as sent out by the census department at Washington. He says the correct fig ures are something over 5,400. If he is correct, and lhe ought to know, the -'department should make the correc lion. We are satisfieg somebody has made a mnistake. The Mollohon mill village hbas been established sihce 1900, and while some part of it is out of the incorporation, still some thirty or forty voters are inside. Th4 Newberry mill has been enlarged twice since 1900 a,nd all of that popu lation is in the incorporate limits. All that portion of the town in the Jones property has been built up since 1900, But it is said a great many negroes have left town. That may be trui and yet every negro housie in town is occupied and a number ha,ve beerz built in ten years and none destroyed And yet what difference does i1 make. The people are here whethe' -they were counted or not 'and New berry still remains the city that does things. IPEOTED FARMING. The Herald and News prints in ful * in this issue the report of Mr. S. M~ * Duncan, farm demonstration agent, fo: 'Newberry county. Here are the figure: giving a prae.tcal demonstration o; what can 'be do..e on the farm if thi . proper methods are used. We hop every farmer will read this report i1 full and s-uady the figures and thei determire "> do 'bette'r this year. The largest yield made in 1910 c cottcn was by Mr. -E. M. Cook, 2,67: pounds, under the demonstration plai and same year under the ordinary pla: he made 700 pounds. Look at the dif ference. It took more fertilizer pos sibly, 'but no more labor. The largest yield of corn under th demonstration :plan was made by DJ W. C. Brown, 106 bushels, while or der the ordinary plan he made 2 bushels. t s strange that far'mers will e on producing only abou.t one-fourth they could make if they would apply the methods and plans that are laid befoie them. We hope t sa even greater im provements. There has been great development in farming in the past five years, and yet it is possible to produce just as much cotton and corn on one-half the acreage with one-half the labor. Why not do it? The inmates of the hospital for the insane continues to increase. If it were not for the sinking fund .what would the State do. Every time an extra Pppropriation is wanted it is, suggested the money may be bor rowed from the sinking fund. The legislature will visit Winthrop dollege on the 19th and when the members ieti-i they will be prepar ed to give Winthrop everything she asks. Of course the trip is made at the expense of the State and the boys, have a good time. And why not? Dr. C. T. Wyche seems to be the only member of the NeivWberry dele gation who was given the chairman-, ship *of an important committee. He is chairman of the committee on edl cation which carries with it member ship on the board of trustees of sev eral of the State college. e * * * . *' U -* * * * * * * * THE IDLEE. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To The Idler: I beg to hand you the following communication which I have just received from Mr. Burton, and which explains itself. This is a liberal offer Mr.. Burton is making and I am satisfied that there are other big hearted, public spirited men in Newberry who, will join with Mr. Bur ton, in making your park an assured suocess. I am satisfied that the pries ent and future generations of the cit izens of Newberry will call you bless ed if ethe park does come. It will be the biggest thing in a small way that has beJen accomplished in Newberry in a generation. The lan'd referred to by Mr. Burton extends on either side of Scott's creek from College street .to Calhoun street. I will try to get a meeting of a few men whom I think will ~be interested and see if iwe cannot get the thing moving in. the next few days. Editor Herald and News. -0 Newberry, S. C., Jan. 11th, 1 911. Mr. E. H. Aull, Editor Herald and News, Newberry, S. 0.-Dear Sir: Please say to The Idler that I am ~at last ready to start the park. Some time ago you and I looked at the piece of land' along the East side of Scott's creek which you thought reasonably priced at six hundred dol lars. I have 'ecided to contribute this -entire piece of land containing about one and a third acres, whenever you get enough contributed to pay for the 'balance of the land. By the way, there is a spring on this lot. I am ready to deed this either to the town or to a commission which ever you 'decide is best,, upon condi tion that it will always be used as a park, and that I shall not be connect ed with the park commission. How ever, if there is no objection, I would like to name. one member of the comn mission. With best wishes for the success of the park, I am, 'Yours truly, 3. A. Burton. --- Now this is certainly glorious news and I feel like shouting for joy. If this park can only come with the be ginning of this new year it will mean, oh, so much for Newberry. I do 'hope the editor will call that meeting at once. I felt all the time that Mr. ~.Burton was all right and now he does even more than I expected. Mr. Edi tor, please send a marked copy of this letter to Jno. Kinard and GJoe. Summer and Zack Wright and Charley Summer and Walter Hunt and Dr. 1Mayer and any others that you think 1will be interested. It is a great move ment and every citizen of Newberry ought, to seek the honor of having a part in the founding and building of this park--The Idler's Park-for the Swomen and children of Newberry. I am afraid I won't be able to sleep to night for thinking of Mr. Burton and the good start he has given this park movement. eWhy not send marked copies of this letter to Charley Purcell and Wash Floyd and Pat Scott and Henry Parr and -Hamp Hunt. They are big heart ed, public spirited citizens and I am se any and all of them will do as Mr. Burton has done.
