NIPP Sa.itad t"~ Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, April 21, 1911. We shall restrain from indulging ir a prose poem on the beauties ol spring, but we can't help remarking - that at this time of the year, as at all other times of the year, this is thi garden spot of the world, and has been since the days of the Garden oJ Eden, which was located in Newberr3 county. If the enormous sum of from a quarter of a million to three hundred thousand dollars which Clemson col lege will receive from the fertilizer tax this year could be turned into the State treasury, and only so much as Clemson needs appropriated to that Jinstitution, the balance would come in mighty nicely in helping to meet the appropriation to the other State institutions. If the United States becomes in Tolved in a war with Mexico, we ven ture the prophecy that the struggle will be of much longer duration and much more costly, both in property and in human life, than our struggle with the Mexicans years ago. When the Mexicans get to firing over the Xne, however, and killing American citizens and destroying the security of American homes, why the Ameri can government is forced to take a hand, and if the Mexicans simply won't listen to reason there is only one thing left to do. We hope, how ever, that the United States may be able with bonor to keep out of the FARM~ING WITH GOATS. The wQrld moves, and every day some record is smashed. The latest sp in farming operations is report ed in a story which comes from Rog ers, Ark. "According to a story from the Arkansas town," says the Augusta Ch.ronicle, "a 15-year-old country boy with quite a lot of ambition and an acre or so of rock-strewn ground had only a billy goat with which to carry oi his farming operations. He hauled the fertilizer. for his field in a pack Ing-box cart, plowed the ground with a ,crude small iron plow, and worked this crop with his billy goat. The re sult was a yield of fifty bushels from an acre of rock ground, which is be ing cited as one of the finest instances the agricultural department has with which to demonstrate the possibilities of shallow cultivation after careful preparation." Why is a billy goat, is a questior which has long agitated thae minds o: this Arkansas lad answers the ques tion. All honor to the goat--when hi lives on the farm and works a crop. BUSINESS BASIS FOR COUNTIES. Without passing upon the legalit: of the appointments, Judge Watts a Greenwood this week refused to man damus the foreman of the grand .iur: and the county commissioners to sigl the pay certificates of the recently ap pointed rural policemen for Green wood county, on the ground that ai affidavit was presented from the coun ty treasurer to the effect that ther were no funds in the treasury for th' payment of these officers. Section 80 of the civil code of 1902 reads: "The county supervisor shall drax orders on the county treasurer, unde the seal of the board, countersigne< by the secretary or clerk of the board for all accounts against the count; which they have allowed, but he shal draw no orders until after the month ly report of the treasure- has bee: received by them, and unless he ha reported the funds in the treasury t pay the same; and the county super visor shall inform the county treasur *er of the ordf'rs drawn, in whose fax or, the amount, and the order i: which they are drawn. "It shall not be< lawful for an county treasurer to pay on order c the board of county supervisors ur less drawn in corformity wit this section: and it is mad the duty of the comptrolle general, in case of any violation ( *the provisions of this section whic mnay come or be brought to his nc tice to repe? u ie offender to the al tone oc.r e : p rosecution, or t the governor for dismissal, as the casE may be." A more strict observance of this law would bring about a much more healthy condition of affairs in the va rious counties. It is poor business to put the levy below the necessar3 expenses, as is sometimes done, sc that a delegation may go before theii people and point to a record of lov taxes. When a county incurs obliga tions they must be met sooner or lat er, and the affairs of a county oughi to be run on a business basis. It ic much cheaper in the long run, be cause when money is spent the public have to pay it in taxes sooner or lat er. If State taxes are too high ox county taxes are too high it does rc good to cut down the levy unless ex penditures are reduced. The only way to lessen taxes is to lessen expendi tures. And yet sometimes this simpl'e self-evident fact seems not to be real ized. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor). Nothing preventing the followin-g program of divine services will be ob served at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday: 11 a. m.-The regular morning se'r vice. The pastor will preach on the subject: "Called Back to the Old Scenes and a Larger Vision." The words of the text are: "But after I am risen again, I will go before you 'into Galilee"-Matt. 26:32. Also: "Go tell my 'brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me." Matt. 28:10. In these last words is the mesage of the risen Christ to men who had lost their faith in con tact with men and affairs in Jerusal em. Down in the worldly capitol of their country they had lost the Christ of Galilee and their youth, but back in Galilee afte the experience in Jeru salem they found a greater Savior than they had lost. Many practical lessons that need to 'be considered just at this time will be presented. The congregation has a spl:endid choir, and there will ie good music. 4 p. m.-The Sunday school will hold its regular session. There are classes and teachers for all ages. The public is cordially invited to all servic-es. Very Pleasant M!ention. IThe eldest of Dr. J. M. Kibler's daughters, Miss Bessie Kibler, plays the title role in the an.nual Greek play which is given at Randolph-Ma con Woman's college every spring. This feature of the college has evok ed the praises from some of the fin est Greek scholars who attend it each year. Miss Bessie not only plays thE title role in *Medea of Enripides (the play to be presented next Saturday night) but was by recommendation ol the music department, awarded. the honor of composing all the music for the play, there being a number oi choruses. Her friends in Newberr3 will rejoice to learn that she will re ceive the A. B. degree of Randolph' Macon this year as well as a diplom in music. This college is under student gov enent, and Miss Kibler has been pember of the student committee twi years. GOVERNOR BLEASE IN BALTIMOR] Harmon and Wilson in 1912-Grea Future for South. TGovernor Coleman L. Bleas.e, 0 South Carolina, who came to this cit: Sunday to undergo an operation fo: stomach trouble, will go to Washing to". this afternoon and return to hil home in Columbia Wednesday, say' -the Baltimore Sun of the 18th. Governor Blease spbmitted to diagnosis by Dr. Julius Friedenwal< yesterday and was told that his trou ble might be cured by a course o treatment and that an operation was not necessary. LThough only 42 years old, Governo: Blease has won many political honors Elected to the lower house of the gen Seral assembly of his State when Ii was 21 years old, the youngest ma: who ever sat in the legislature o South Carolina, he has been a candi Sdate in every State election held i: Sthat State since, and has been in of -fice for the whole period, with th exception of three months. Beside -serving in the lower house as speake1 e has served as president of tb State senate, mayor of Newberry, -hi home city; prosecuting attorney an fiis now filling the governor's chai: -and, he says, if Senator Tillma hshould decide that his health will nc permit him to stand for reelectioi rhe can be counted upon to get int fthe fight for th'e seat. Speaking of Baltimore, Governc Blease said: "This city is well known to mi oa kTis my +'nnrth vsit here and fu thermore, it is our principal market Baltimoreans do not realize the grea quantity of goods we purchase fron their merchants. "On this trip I have had a very un usual experience. Four years ago came here with my law partner, F. H Dominick. We stopped at the Note Renn<ert. Sunday when I, with mN brother, Harry H. Blease, of Staun. ton, Va., who accompanied me, cain to the Rennert and registered w: were a:signed to the same room I hae "on the previous visit. But that b 'E little to do with what I think of yo? city. One thing that has most i-r pressed me is the great and beauti ful building which the Fidelity com pany has erected. Former Governoi Warfield, its president, called upon ia on his recent trip through the Sutb and I was thrown with him at thp Southern Commercial congress in At lanta." When asked what the thought of thE out-look for a Democratic pre-;ideni in 1912 he said: I "If the present Democratic house which has started out well, makes iic big mistakes, and the convention which I would like to see held in this city, nominates Judson Harmon foi president and Woodrow Wilson for vice president, there will be a walk over for the Democrats." South Carolina, he said, was strong ly in favor of the direct election of senators. The candidates for all of fices in the State are nominated ;n a primary and Governor Blease said that he would like to see the candi dates for the presidency nominated by a country-wide primary. I Enthused by the prosperous out look for the South, he echoed tme opm ion regently expressed by Champ Clark, "Go South, young man!" "We will welcoTne men in all walks of life," said the governor, "if they wish to bstle. We need men. When the Parft Canal is completed the South will outstrip the North and East in manufactures as well as in the production of raw products. We have the raw materials and our prox imity to the markets which will b,e opened up then will give us an ad vantage which will not be overcome by any other section." Feeling Much Improved. Baltimore, April 18.-Governor Cole L. Bl'ease, of South Carolina, left Baltimore this evening for Wash ington and will leave that city Wed nesday afternoon for Columbia. While in this city he submitted to two diag noses by Dr. Julius Friedenwald, the renowneed stomach specialist. Gov ernor Blease is suffering with acute indigestion, but an operation, foi which he came, was not deemed nec essary and a course of treatment pre scribed by Dr. Friedenwald, wil probably dissipate all trouble. ThE governor was feeling much improvei and relieved when he left. While in Washington Govern: Blease will probably . look after ' details of the M. A. Carlisle cc.ze which is to come up before the .su preme court of the United States While here he was invited to attent a dinner given to Odd Fellows b: John B. Goodwin, who at one tim' was grand sire of the order. Gov ernor Blease, in a speech, declare' for harmony for the Democratic part: and also declared against prohibitior LHe said he would stand for reelectio: s governor and would also enter th fie for the United States senate.

New York, April 19.-The Episcopal Catherdral of St. John the Divine, the largest ecclesiastical structure in the country and the fourth largest in! Christendom, was solemnly conse crated here today. Although only partly constructed, it has already been twenty years in building, at a cost of $3,500,00 and it ma take as much longer to complete it, at a total, estimated cost of $10,000,000. I Seating accommodations are now provided for about 1,700 persons, but although consecrated for present use,, four-fifths of the work remains to be done, and the full capacity will lapproach 7,000. At present the in terior walls stand in great part as they were laid, in jutting tiers of rough granite; the vaulted roof of the crossing is only a makeshift of terra cotta to be torn down later; the ar ches from which the transepts will spread are blocked with temporary concrete baffles; the flooring itself is,' but a cement bed on which the mosaics will yet be superimposed; only a hint of the full glory appears-and yet so. noble is the harmony of the ample dimensions, and so rich the promise of fulfillment, that the fragment open ed to the public to day is itself an invitation to worship. Bishop Greer Presides. The impressive offices were presid ed over by Rt Rev David H. Greer, bishop of the diocese or New York. Among the gues:s invited to witnes:4 the function were represenlatives of many communions. The ceremonial began with thte pro cession of ecclesiastics, ;preoeded by the vested choir of bOYS, aoross the walk from the synod house to the huge mass of gray stone, still out wardly crude, but representing an im portant step in the work of making the Cathedral of St. John the Divine the fourth largest cathedral in the world.prabdtesmo Bishop Greerpraedtesmo of the day, dwelling upon the value of! the presen.t-day cathedral as a force for righteousness in a modern life.
