The fine success which is attending
Newberry enterprises is shown by the
handsome semi-annual dividends
which they will distribute on July 1.
The governor's staff seems to be
giving the Columbia State much wor
Try. We have heretofore called atten
tion to the fact that champing the bit
'causes foaming at the mouth, and we
would "add the suggestion that too
much worry this hot weather might
cause the throwing of a fit.
The Newberry firemen have shown
up well at the Columbia tournament.
Newberry has a volunteer fire depart
ment second to none. But the depart
ment ought to include some paid men,
in addition to the drivers, who would
be constantly on duty. Because the
volunteer d partment does so much
for Newberry ought to be a strong
reason for Newberry doing a great
deal for herself and for the depart
ment.
The marriage license law goes into
effect on Saturday. The judge of pro
bate will issue license upon proper
affidavit, and the payment of one dol
lar, 75 certs of which goes to the
county. It is a good law. Some of
its opponents urged that it would be
a step towards a divorce law. On the
contrary, we believe it is an additional
safeguard thrown around the sanctity
of marriage.
THE FELDEE CASE.
The Columbia Record fought Gov
ernor Blease in the primary last sum
mer, and fought him hard. But its
fight was open and manly, as its
course always is, so far as we have
been able to judge.
On Tuesday afternoon, commenting
upon an editorial in the Chzarleston
Evening Post, the Columia ':Record
discusses the F'elder requisition, and
its argument 'that Governor Brown
violabed the constitution of the Unit
ed States in refusing to honor the re
quisition will appeal to unbiased minds
as logical and irrefutable. It presents
our view of the matter, and, coming
from an anti-Blease newspaper, it will
probably carry more weight than any
argument which might be advanced
by a newspaper wihich supported Gov
ernor -Blea.se in the primary.
One of the great troubles of the age
in which we are now living is that
self-righteousness sometimes runs
rampant, and that there are too many
posing as the guardians of all the peo
ple's morals and of all right thinking
who hesitate not to go to afiy'lengths,
the violation of the law not excepted,
in order to thwart those whom they
condemn as being on the other sd
of the fence.
The Herald and News also in ,the
same connection presents an article
from Mr. Harry W. Dominick, which
was published in the Atlanta Journal,
correcting the statement made by the
Atlanta newspapers, and, according
to the press dispatches, used in Feld-.
er's defence, to the effect that the
Newberry county grand jury had "re
fused" to indict Felder. The truth of
the matter is, as everybdy who has
kept up with the matter knows-be
cause it was published in practically
all the South Carolina newspapers
no Newberry grand jury has yet had
a bill in the Felder cat'e before it.
CONiGEATULATIONS.
The News would extend to the
Charleston and Western Carolina
railway, et al., its sincere congratu
lations on 'the Pullman car which will
be inaugurated on its .lines between
Grenville and Charleston, Saturday.1
For an indefinite period of years the
public as well as the press, used all
grades of pursuasion and argument
to get this added accommodation on'
this line, and hope was finally aban
doned by all except the faithful, opti
mistic few.
The Pullman will without doubt be
received with wide-open arms on the
part of the traveling public through
out this section. J~t what has be&i
f the immediate cause of this suddenly
announced improvement in service, is
a matter of interesting speculation,
but a discussion on the matter would
be purely academic at this time, and
just so we get the Pullman then. will
be no cause to further delve into the
inner depths of a railroad's conscience.
-Greenville News.
The Herald and News has been urg
ing this improvement in the service on
this road for a long time, and we- are
heartily glad to know that it will be
made. We feel sure the patrons of -the
road will apprec':ate it, and will sup
port the Pullman service.

I read in the paper the other day
where a man up in Boston was before
a police judge for being drunk. The
defendant claimed that it was his
birthday and that he never got drunk
at any other time, and he asked the
judge if he didn't have a right to cele
brate on his birthday. The judge re
plied: "That is your right. Case dis
missed." I was wondering if that was
good law. You know, I have about
reached the conclusion that ii this
enlightened day with the multiplicity
of laws and regulations that there is
no longer any pure, genuine American
liberty. Everything is regulated by
law, and nearly every law is violated
every day, and I wonder if it is not
because we are rather overdoiag the
law business. Take for instance the
town of Newberry. I do not know
much about any other place. I under
stand there is a whole volume of laws
for the government of the town. If
you'll get that book and look over
these laws you will see that they are
violated every day, Sunday not ex
cepted. I do not blame the officers
because it would take a Philadelphia
lawyer to know just all the laws we
have.
--0
I was thinking the other day about
one law that it might be well for the
officers to think about themselves, be
cause it doesn't do much ,good for me
-to think about it, and that is the dog
ordinance. I mean the ordinance to
prohibit dogs running on the streets.
It will be recalled that we paid very
little attention to this law until a
sorry old dog bit a child and the child
died. Then everybody was sorry and
the city passed an ordinance. It was
too late to save that child or to com
fort that mother for the young life was
gone -beyond recall. But the ordinance
was enforced. I suppose it has since
been repealed and will not be reenact
ed until some other worthless dog
causes the loss of another life. Then
there will be a great stir about a law
to muzzle dogs. The "dog days'' are
coming on apace. And the dogs are
running at large.- I am afraid of a
snake, a dog, and a speeding automo
bile. Probably that makes me see
these things, I don't mean I seie snakes.
Nay, nay, but I.do see dogs and speed
ing autos, and I give them a wide
berth.

I saw a copy of the Observer's com
mercial edition the other day, and I
was struck-I don't mean hit-but I
observed the picture of Willowbrook
Park, a Newberry beauty spot, as it is
.ermed. You know, this is the park
in West End, b.uilt by the Newberry
cotton mill for the pleasurge of the
operatives, and I was pleased that the
Observer thought it a beauty spot in
Newberry for I am satisfied now that
the Observer realizes the importance
of having such a beauty spot over on
the East side for the enjoyment of the
people over there and will now lend
the aid of its great influence to build
The Idler's park. Come along, now,
and help me get a beauty spot over
on the East side. President Wright
and Superintendent Davis have al
ready indicated their willingness to
help in a substantial way. The suc
cess of Chautauqua week ought to be
an encouragement to the effort for
The Idler's park. It only demon
strates what can be done by united,
effort.

By the way, I happened down town
the other evening and I noticed that
Newberry was up to the great cities
of New York and Columbia-she has
her great white way spreading out
rrom the four corners of the old court
house building covering our beautifulI
public square. The horse power of
the lights seemed to be rather weak,
but I suppose it is sufficient to guidei
the automobiles across the beautiful
ullies and ravines which stretch
cross the public square to the East
mnd the West. What a great oppor
unity Newberry missed a couple'
rears ago when she refused to accept
he very liberal offer to have this
square paved. I hope it is not true
hat opportunity knocks but once at
b.
each man's door.

What has become of that road that
was to be built from Charle:,ton to
Greenville in a dayt It seems to me
that it should be an easy matter to get
the people together on this one prop
osition for if there is anything that
will benefit all the people of all the
counties it would be at least one good
highway running through the entire
county. From the number of automo
biles in this county, if they would all
unite they could build this road them
selves. It would pay them to do it.
There must be a hundred automobiles
in the county. Ten dollars each from
these gentlemen would be $1,000.
Fifty dollars each would be $5,000.
Any man who has a car could stand
that contribution to 'he building of a
good road 35 miles long across the
county from Little Mountain to Kin
ards and then to connect at 'either end
with a good road to Greenville and
Columt a and Charleston. You auto
mobile people, now, listen, wouldn't
you give $100 each to be assured of
a good road-I mean a good road
from Newberry to Greenville on the
one sic, and to Col ambia and Char
leston on the other. Now, wouldn't
you? Say yes, quick, because I know
you would. That would give $10,000
$300 a mile. You could sand clay the
road. all the way-widen it where
needed and relocate. It would be
worth the outlay. With such a road
Little Mountain and Kinards would be
nearer to Newberry than Helena now
is. Ten thousand dollars could not
be more profitably inviested than in
such a road. As soon as this road is
completed you would want another
from Chappells toBroad river, another
from Whitmire to Saluda river and if
you build the first one the others will
come quick. I wish I had an au
tomobile and had the money of
some of 3 "ese Newberry people, I
wouldn't hoard it, but I would start
this road fund with $500 or a thous
and and the road would soon be built
-but I reckon that's the reason I hav
en't got the money-always too liber
al. It will work out right. It always
has and always will. Sometimes it
does not seem to us to be doing it,
but it will. You just wait aLd watch
and do your duty-there's the rub
the question for -you.

VIEW HORRIBLE SIGHT.
See Man Electrocuted Near Columbia
Ball Park-Darrell Harrison,
Mill Worker.
Columbia, June 28.-The horrifying
spectacle of a man being electrocuted
by a liv wire was witnessed by nearly
2,000 people here this afternoon, at
the -ball grounds. Although aid was
given as quickly as possible, the mo
ments seemed ages while the man
danzled from the wires upon the pole
:e had climbed. Three times he swung
each way and then his body straight
ened out. The body was taken down
by a rope and the wires cut, but even
as this operation was in progress the
snapping of the wires sent the unfor
tunate victim to the ground, and as
his feet touched the earth his limp
body .clung to the pole by which 'he
fell. Medical examination revealed
the fact that he was beyond human
help, although some time was spent in
trying to revive him.
Victim Identified.
The victim was iddntified tonight
as Darrell Harrison, a worker in the
mill village. He was a native of
Bath, and was a married man. One
of his fellow workers, with whom he
boarded, came to the 'undertaking es-,
tablishment and positively identified'
him. Harrison Is judged to have been
about twenty-five years of age.
