tki VOLUTE XLX, NTVPTl 14. NEWIRIIIIY, SOUTH CAROLIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1911. A . A YR . THE LIST STILL OPEN. 4rome Along and Take Your Subscrip tion to the Park-Now is the Time. The subscriptions to the park for Newberry continue to come in, and, while none of them are large, in'the aggregate we can make up the amount if we can secure. enough small ones. We would prefer to have the amount made up of small subscriptions rath -er than in one or two large ones. This is to be the pleople's park, and if ev erybody is interested, of course, it follows that everybody will take more pride in keeping the park up to the -standard. We already haVe a sufficient amount subscribed to assure the park, and to begin operations. Of course, we would prefer to have a little more, but it is the hope of those who are in tterested in this movement to organ ize the Park association, and to begin laying out the ground-s in the very near future. Let everybody who is interested come along now and get in on the. ground floor and help to push the enterprise along. The follovring is the list of sub Gcriptions to date: J. A.

Qiring It to Felder. Yorkville Enquirer. The Anderson. Daily Mail hopes that,.Col. Felder has not taken writ er's cramp. We do niot wish the col-' onel any harm; but we think we are entitled to remark that he has done about as we expected. We are now quite prepared .to believe that he oi ginally got in. with the winding-up com.mssion by the use of material that had previously been collected, probably with the purpose of black mailing the liquor houses. Oh, as we have salid time and again, how much better it would have been had the State devoted itself to punishing thea people who bad been robbing it, rath er than exert itself in trying to get back stolen money to be divided with a conscienceless f.raud who had no right whatever to it. Going a Little too Far. Anderson Intelligencer. A Columbia newspaper correspond ent sends a long write up of the life of Gov. Coleman L. Blease to the Northern papers and among oth?.r hard things says: "He comes of humble parantage Mias father kept en inn anid a lix cry stable at Newberr, and in the old. days the "quality" knew hi.e only as a useful servito6r." We are under the imnpr 'Sonl that Cov. Blease's father was a gallant Confederate soldier and has long sice annvered the last roll call. Not ontent with abusing the governor, his dirty pup (we say so and only r~gret that we are unable to stand in ront of the man who wrote t-he ar iele) goes back and drags in the arn of his father, who wa.s a re ~petable citizen. oven if he did keep m inn and a 'ivery stable.
