Entered at the Postoffice at New 4erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, November 24, 1911. In passng over the road from Pros perity to Excelsior academy we could not help wondering why the people who live along that road would per mit it to get in the condition it is -when so little effort would give them a good road. The students of !ewberry college have followed in the wake and form ed a Woodrow Wilson club. Gov. Wil son is all right ana a good man, but he is not the man to win for the Democrats in 1912. The game of poli tics is one you play to win and there is not much fun starting out with a losing game. We notice that a few gentlemen were invited from the city to give the young men encouragement in their first hand at the game. Supervisor Feagle is doing some mighty good work on the Prosperity Newberry road just this side of Pros perity. If the people would only take a little interest in the road after it is built and giVe it just a little atten tion this would be a good road -for years to come. '.The people of South Carolina are the most unenlightened people to be found in a civilized country. Three fourths of them do not read, study or think. They allow themselves to be blindly led by passion and prejudice instead of reason and common sense. Ninety per cent. of them can not give I a reason for the belief that is in them. What's the remedy? More schools, more teachers, more readers, more serious thought, less lawlessness, less dissipation, less feeling, less evil emo tion.-Gaffney Ledger.. We are a little surprised to see this statement in the editorial columns of our cotemporary. We can not let it go unchallenged. We are not the most unenlightened people on the face of the civilized globe. There is scarcely a State in the union that is spending more money for higher edu cation in proportion to wealth and population than South Carolina. Our' ,public schools are not what they should be, but they are improving every year. Because every body does not agree with you in religion and politics is no good reason to conclude that the country thas gone to the demnition bow WOWS. It ain't so. Brace up, old man, and take your bearings again. The country is all Tight, and the people are all right, even if they do not do at all times as you think they should. The death of Mr. Joseph P. Cald well, former editor of the Charlotte Observer, removes one of the bright est editorial writers that ever adorn ed the press of the South. At the same - time one of the most lovable of men. He has been in failing health for sev eral years,. and, thereforc, has not been in active serVice. His forceful editorial writing and h- high char acter and good judgment made the Charlotte Observer one of the leading papers of the South.
