What matters it if a bill be sent
to the Secretary of State or not. If
the governor holds one more than
three days without his signature while
-the legislature is in session it becomes
law without his signature and sending
it to the Secretary of State has
nothing to do with the question. Unless,
of course, it should b-? held in
i
the governor's office indefinitely.
Columbia is agitating the question of)

town and country. There is nothingj
so valuable to a town as a good and
comfortable rest room. It is a convenience
and a comfort.
Newberry has the best arangement
fnr a ormvenient and commodious rest
Toom of any city we know. The old
court house building should be used
exclusively for public purposes. The
I entire lower floor "should be turned
into a public library and rest room
and the upstairs should oe usea as a
public hall for county conventions,
meetings of the farmers and other
public gatherings, and the rooms
should not be rented at all to private
parties. Then provision should be
made for the proper care of the rooms
and building. Such a convenient and
comfortable building can not be secured
in any other part of the city.
To tear the building down would oe a
waste of property that would cost
thousands of dollars to replace. Why
not every one unite on making this
an ideal place for public purposes? It
can be done 4f the proper authorities
will take the matter "<n hand.
The grounds around the building
should be parked and the rest of the
puuiic square paved and we wouia
then have one of the prettiest public
squares in the State, and one of the
most convenient and comfortable rest
rooms and libraries anywhere, and a
property that would be the pride of
the city and county. And at the same
time it would be a great cmofort and
convenience to our lady friends from

WHAT IS THE ISSUE!
Under the head of "Bleasism" the
News and Courier carries the following
double-leaded editorial:
"Protest is made against the disposition
already evidenced in more than
one county of South Carolina to bring
out next summer Blease and antiBlease
tickets; but why should any
one object to this being done? What
plsr indAAri is thprp fnr fJnvprrmr
Blease and his friends to do? His
dictatorship has been flouted by every
departm-snt of the State government,
save one, which does not shine by
contrast, and in the general assembly
his vetoes have been overriden by
wholesale, his lawless preachments
have met with sharp and dignified rebuke
and the most extraordinary
measures have been deemed necessary
for the protection of legislation
from his ruthless hand.
"The issue is clearly drawn and it is
the issue of Bleasism. If the governor
believes that he can be re-elected why
should he not endeavor to have elected
with him State officers who will do his
bidding and a legislature which kill
answer to his every whim? What other
possible course is there before him?
His present position must be intolerable.
He surely would not wish to
perpetuate it for another two years."
As we see it, and as we believe a
majority of the people see it, it is not
an issue of "Bleasi^m," but an issue of
o /)nol thnl
itiii yiaj auu a. aviuaie ucai, auu wai.
is going to be the issue above all
others in the coming campaign. The
friends of the governor have not made
the issue of Blease ant anti-Blease
tickets for the legislature, but the
thing has been suggested by those
who are fighting Blease, and fighting
him whether fairly or unfairly, and
taking everything that may be twisted
against him and printing it in black
tviw wViilo h i/1 i ncr on villi ii?? that misrnt
be considered as favorable to him.
Th'iT i? the way the people are lookj,.
? . ir The people may be mistak- j
en, but that is ihe w >y they see it.
We believe it is a fact that a great
many of those in the legislature now
will not go back even if they stand
for re-clection, but it will not be so
much an issue of Blease as an issue
of fair play and a square deal. The
people of South Carolina believe in
I giving the der<l his dues and unless
i we are mistaken they will be found
doing it. We do not endorse by a
long ways all that Blease has said
and done, but we do believe in a
square deal and fair play, and that
Blease has not had from the press of
the State nor from the present legis!
lature.
We wonder why the city dbuncil has
not passed a license ordinance for
1912. It may be that the city is in
such gopd financial conditio.i that it
does not need the income from the license
ordinance. We have not heard
that such an ordinance was passed for
this year.
DO THEY KNOW?
Senator Strait, who stood by the
Bleatoes is from Ira B. Jones' county
of Lancaster. Maybe "there's a
reason" as C. W. Post would say.?
Anderson Daily Mail.
We heard the senator say not so long
ago that the Bleatoes would certainly
carry Lancaster county in the primaries
the coming summer. We do
not know whether he knew what he
was talking about or not.?Newberry
; Jtieraia ana i\ewc>.
There are some people, too, Brother
| Aull, who are talking it that the goverI
nor will not carry Newberry county
this summer. We do not know whether
they knew what they were talking
; about or not.?Greenville Piedmont.
We are not surprised that people
are "talking it" We would-'say, however,
that Brother Aull does not know
what Newberry county will do the
coming summer, and has made no effort
to find out. If we were to express
an opinion, however, it would
I he that there will be very few
changes in this county. You must remember,
also, that all three of the
| candidates for governor are from New!
berry, and no doubt will claim Newberry
::or their own this summer.

* THE IDLER. *

I noticed in a paper that I was
| reading the other day where a man
I f?nmmittpd suicide or died from the ef
fects of drinking too much water. Just
think of that I think we better ask
our legislature to pass a bill prohibiting
the drinking of water. It might
be possible it seems to me for a man
j to be killed from eating a Charleston
j waffle, or one of those square meals
i in the city of Columbia, but who would
i ever have dream-ed that a man could
j kill himself by drinking water. I exI
tViof n-ofar ViOrfl -nrvf hppn nnnlvZAfl

and possibly it contained some sort of
modern germ, or had bacteria in it of
some kind. I say that a man might
be intemperate in the use of a Charleston
waffle or a, Columbia square
meal, but the idea of being intemperate
: in the use of water?the very idea is
preposterous to my mind. I reckon it
is true after all that we may be intem|
perate in the use of other things besides
beer and kindred beverages.
The following from Frank Stanton
in the Atlanta Constitution is very
| good and I want to pass it on. I reckon
he won't object:
x ne juuuuuui x icuiuaiu^iii.
"De only time when some folks
| won't have no doubts 'bout which way
i ter travel," said Brother Williams, "is
i i
! when de roads fork at de Last Gate?
: one leadin' ter de big settin'-room in
; de Mansion, an' de yuther ter de hot
kitchen whar de fire is blazin' day an'
! night. In de words of de hymn:
[ \
" 'All de time a-whippin'
De devil roun' de stump,
! Can't swim de river
An' de fence too high ter jump;
All de time a-sayin' *
De lion's in de way,
An' never whippin' up de hoss
Ter make him come ter hay.'
"All of which is so, an no disputin'
it. Ef you doubts dat you'll git yo'
dinner you'll never hear de bell ring,
! an' ef de hill looks too high ter climb
you'll sho' be snowed under in de valley,
an' ef you don't set up nights wid
'em 'twel dey lowers de street car
fare some er you'll never git a ride!"
?o?
Now, I have never doubted that I
f j
wns going to got my park i:i Newberry j
and because I have not mentioned it in
1 a long time is no reason for any one
to conclude that I have given up the
fight. I am not a quitter and never .
give up a fight. I can't b? discouraged.

which spells quit or the one which
' spells give up. It takes a long time
; to accomplish things in seme communities,
and I know this is one of those
communities, but by keeping ev-erlast- .
ingly at it brings success in more ways
than one. The spring time will soon
bp hero and then we will .ill wish we
i
had that park, but we won't have it.
Maybe we will start th-e-n, or maybe
our rich people will want to wait a
little while longer, and we will have
i to wait on them, for it takes money to
do things. I never knew the value of
money until it was too late to do m->'
any good, and I am too old now J;o
} think about ever having any, but IJ
would like to see those who have bee.i i
more fortunate let me help them to do
i some good deed with their money that
' will live after they are gone, for be
sure that you can't take any more
1 money with you than I can. Let every|
body wake up now and do something.
i mere are 101s ui uimgs to uu ana an
| you need is to get up and do them.
The editor sends me word that an
1 old lady told him to tell me that a
number of ladies had told this old lady \
j that they were tired of reading my
! sermons, and that they wanted me to!
do something to help them, the ladies,
] they could hear the preachers preach
ion Sunday. Well, now that is some-ij
| thing, isn't it? And I hav^e bean so
; proud of my sermons, too, and really
I thought everybody else was looking
for them with eagerness and would be
| . ;
! disappointed when they didn't come.
: That is the way of the world. It doesn't
1 want that which will do it the most
I,
'good. I suppose they want*me to
; pitch into something or somebody.
That is what most people call doing
j something when you write for a paper.
I Well, just g:'.ve me a chance.
I This reminds me of a paragraph I
| read in a book the other day. It was
I
speaking about the duties of the edi-,
tor" of a daily paper. It applies to:
newspaper writers who try to do some- !
thing. Here it is, read it: "Deeper;
than the grind of the routine detail,
was the constant opposition and adverse
criticism to which his newspaper,
like every other one, was inces- j
santly subjected. It has long been a
trite observation that no reader of j
any newspaper is so humble as not j
to be outspokenly confident that he j
could run that paper a great deal bet- j
ter than those who acutally are run- i
ning it. Etfery upstanding man who t
pays a cent for a daily journal con-!
j siders that he buys the right to abuse j
I it, nay incurs the manly duty of abus- 1
ing :t. Every editor knows that the j
I highest praise he can expect is silence, j
| If his readers are pleased with his re- j
mants, tney noDiy ren am nam cum-,
ment. But if they disagree with one
jot or little of his high speed dissertations,
he must be prepared to have
quarts of ink squirted at him forthwith."
And so it goes. We take de!
liglr: in faultfinding but never think j
| a word of commendation worth while,
i I dcn't mind criticism, if it be honest
! criticism that comes from difference
of views and opinions. But I despise
this little carping gossip which can I
come only from little1 minds arid
dwarfed souls. I don't want every one ;
to agree with me. I don't like to be
too unanimous. But lets do something.
I
I will help in any worthy cause.
