Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, April 11, 1911. We have had bad weather ever since Governor Blease was inaugu rated.-Greenville Piedmont. You should come down to New berry. We have had the most glor ious weather all this year ever ex perienced by the oldest inhabitants. It is now stated from Columbia that there is no demand or desire for an investigation of dispensary matters. We suppose that means that Col. Felder has reconsidered his proposi tion or threat to write a book. When it comes to the adoption of school books the State board of edu cation should have due regard for the interests of the child and also for the pockets of the parents and as few changes as possible should be made. The State board of education un animously endorse the position of Gov. Blease in his refusal to sign the act of the legislature providing for the distribution of the dispensary fund among the schools. These men are mot politicians and this is high en dorsement. There is no ordinance against keep ing up the good work of cleaning up beyond the days officially proclaimed for that duty.-Spartanburg Herald. Now, the 10th was the day, and that 'was yesterday, but there has been no official or other proclamation from the officials of this city, or any banI placed upon the individual. And be sides, there is room for something to be done right here' in Newberry. e * * '* * *** **** * * ** * THE IDLER. * * * I was meditating again the other day. I love to meditate with myself. I knew an old man once who never talked very much except when he was alone. He would take long walks all' by himself and if ypu happened to be near the roadside where he could not see you, you could hear him talking mnost: earnestly and incessantly. I1 was a mere boy, but I remember the older people of the family asking him why he talked so much to himself. He replied: "Oh, well, I like occasionally to talk with a man who has some sense." Now, I love to meditate with my self. I don't talk any-and you are at liberty to draw your own conclu sion. But I was thinking about that Charleston bunch, and their recep tion in Newberry, and what their ob ject was in going around over the country, and I concluded it was a good thing. I heard one of them say that one of the ob.iects they had in mind was to get the people of Char leston united-together-that was the first thing. TPhe next was to get them away from Charleston and let them realize and know that there was an other and other places in the world. Those two things, if accomplished, would do a great deal for any commu nity, and would repay alinost any rea-. sona'ble outlay of money. It would be a great thing for Newberry. Just. to get our people together for a few days and let them live in the same cart and eat at the same table and drink out of the same gourd. That would 'be worth any reasonavle outlay in money. --- I heard a number of thes-e Charl'es 'ton visitors say they were delighted with their stay in Newberry and the~ treatment they received, but, now, honest, if the college boys and girls and the graded school puapils and the Newberry concert band had not been! in the procession would we have made much of a show with the busi-' ness men who were out to greet and welcome the visitors. Honest, now, Mr. Merchant, and Mr. Business Man, would we? And that is what I was thiiking about. How IVttle interest our business men take in anything~ that is for the general welfare, and why is it? They are the greate-st beneficiaries. My ideal of lif'e is beautifu!y bx p;ressedl in the fol lowing lin e which I read the o:her day. I always !!k to re'ad poetry. e .t:cially: whn r to meditatina: What I Live For. Whose hearts are kind and true: For the heav n that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too; For all human ties that bind me For the task by God assigned mn, For the bright hopes left behind me, And the good that I can do. I live to learn their story, Who've suffered for my sake; To emulate their glory, And follow in their wake. Bards, patriots, martyrs, sag-s, The noble of all ages, Whose deeds crown history's pa;es, And times great volume make. I live to hold communion With all that is divine; To feel there is a union 'Twixt nature's heart and inine; To profit by affliction, Reap truth from fields of fiction, Grow wiser from conv:.otion, And fulfill each g':ard design. I live to hail that season, By gifted minds foretold, When man shall live by reason And not alone by 'old; When man to man united, And every wrong thing righted, The whole world shall be lighted As Eden was of old. I I live for those who love me, For those who know me true; For the h.eaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too; For the cause that lacks assistence. For the future in the distance, For the wrong that needs resistanct, And the good that I can do. -Selected. -o It is grand and noble to live for those who love you and for the good you can do, for the wrong that .ieeds resistance, and to hold communion with all that is -iivine and to fael that there is a 2rdon between the heart of nature and yours. But above l all for the good you can do. To rise above the little petty spites and pre judices of the world and the desire to accumulate money and to dis regard the rights of others. Oh, if we could all just realiz'e the greatness and the glory, and the happiness of living for the good we could do, to live would be sublime an41 life would be worthf while. -o Then here is another little bit of poetry I wou.ld li-ke for you to) read. I wonder if anybody reads The Idler, for, you know, sometimes I almost conclude that nobody reads it, hut anyhow I feel relieved of the great responsibility resting on me when I tell the good people of Newberry some things straight from the shoulder, and I have lived here long before the big giants of finance who run the town knew there was suen a place. I feel like I have a right to .be heard, and then T don't care whether they heed a poor and humble idler like myself or not. But here are some more beauti ful lines:. The Quiet Toiler. 'Tis not'he who parades His deeds before the world, Holding aloft their worth, Whose memory lives impearled In the hearts of a people when The years have died a-way, But rather the man who toils On quietly day by day. 'Tis he who at his task, Be it high or be it lowly, Strives with never a thought Of self and praise, but wholly Lost in the love of duty, Who deems no man his debtor And quietly toils each day To make the world ever better. - -George Newell Lovefoy. -0 I have fust been handed the follow Ing communication, and while it is a long stride from beautiful poetry to goats, I guess I must make it: Mr. Idler: Realizing, from expe'r ience, the fact that goats are invalu able as lawn mcwrers and as trimmers of roses, I want to seek from you a little information. The goats which have been visiting my front yard trim my roses and mow my grass all right, but the trouble is that they don't use! sufficient discretion as to how much the lawn needs to be mowed or the roses to be trimmed, or as to when these duties~ should be performed. Now, we all enjoy goats in our front yards, the odcr being especially de lightful in the beautiful spring, but unless these parti-cular goats that visit my front yard should be endow- ' ed with a little more discretion, I won't have anything left but the bare ground. Do the ordinances of the town require that I post a gnardl to keep the goats oi:'. or d1o ii r . mne to murder the goat? Frankly. J would take~ pleasure in muc:drinz the goat.
