4l>^ 4?-Q. Jim"? Entered at the Postofficc VTnWfcerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, May 21, 1912. I ITKK 3EWBERKY. We travelled about twenty-five miles in a buggy through No. T township on last Tuesday. We found the public roads in a much better condition than j tVimiorh far* fmm whflt I they should be. In some places where j they had been dragged, they were in a much better condition than where; the drag had not been used. The supervisor's attention should | be called to that stretch of road be- j tween the residence of Mr. L. H. Senn : and the Mudiic school house. There is a large, deep ditch on either side of this road, and there is scarcely room left for one vehicle to pass without j dropping into the ditch. If something j is not done this road will have to be j abandoned or a new one made in aj very short time. It was through the kindness and courtesy of Mr. L. H. Senn that we | were able to make this trip, and he very kindly gave the whole day to us, and we visited Chappells school, Vaughnville school, and Mudlic school. This section of the county has some very fine farms in it, some of the most fertil| 'land in Newberry county. On Wednesday evening, we attended j i.1. ? _ 1 ^ _ i? >r.' tv -11.* ; Lilt? cxosing exercises oi jaiss uouie Cleland's school at Dominick. There was the largest crowd present that we have ever seen at a country school, especially -when the exercises were held at night and the weather theatening. The best of order prevailed, fcowever, during the entire evening, and great interest was manifested on the part of the patrons, and the children gave as creditable an exhibition, taking it all the way through, as we JwvA Over coon Anntlior Vi a c nmmieo^ to write an account of the closing ex- j ercises and we hope to be able to pub- j lish it in Friday's issue. This upper section of Newberry needs some more white people. Those who are there are as good as South Carolina affords, and wp all know that ! description covers the best people, j We need small farms owned and worked by white people. Then we will ihave good roads and better schools j .and all the good things that go to I make country life desirable. It does not appear to us that Colonel Green's second account is very much | more of an itemized statement than the first But for the trouble and expense, we would be pleased to have seen a preferential primary on the candidates for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, if for no other reason than to let those of the people of South Carolina, who are claiming such an overwhelming sentiment for Governor Wilson, know a few things. While the press association is ex- . ploiting new railroads, how would it do to take ail excursion over the Au, gusta and Northern? It is proposed . to take the second trip over the C. C. 1 & 0. We suggest that arrangements!J be made for a trip over the Augusta and Northern, a new railroad which . has recently been opened through a , very fertile section. We are satisfied j that many of the editors have never ] had the pleasure of traveling over it. _ i1 i Four years from now Newberry may ^ have a candidate for the presidency of the United States.?Newberry Herald ' and News. Name him!?Greenville News. We are holding his name in reserve ^ at present, because we are afraid if we should turn it loose it might further complicate the situation. Jusf wait until Mr. Underwood gets well settled ' in the president's chair, and then we j _ will launch this Xewberrian's presi-11 dential campaign. \ine Spartanburg Herald says that j "Lowndes J. Browning does not go to i f I the national convention as a delegate at large, but he stays at home as one of the real fighting men on the Jones firing line." Mr. Browning must have ja very strong political constitution if he is able just now to do much fighting after being ,-:o severely mashed by i the .Tones steam roller in th< State j convention. Why. Mr. Browning got I onIV t wo mure iUivn uian cm.; j,uvti! nor. and he th n refused to allow his , name to be voted upou for alternate 1 when it was placed in nomination by | Mr. Parker. Mr. Browning, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house, one of the anti-Blease floor loaders, whose candidacy tor delegate at large had been widely heralded, was slaughtered in the house of his friends. Mr. Browning, however, went into the convention with the chances against him. That very morning thej P nl 11Ki o Cfn + /\ rvriMt Arl o n iff v ' V^Ui Uiii ULCL OLCltC UOU JJ1 I11 CL 111LLJ little editorial in which it was stated i ! that "if the editor of the State were in the conention Mr. Browning would get- his vote, but as Mr. Browning is an advocate of Judge Harmon," etc., the editor of the State would first expect the delegates to be instructed for j * I Wilson. Mr. Browning could hardly have expected to win when he was handicapped by the personal endorse- i ment of the editor of the Columbia OU11C. We like Mr. Browning personally, and we regard him as a capable man. He has our sympathy?first, because he had the backing of the Columbia State, and, secondly, because the; steam roller, engineerd by his friends, ran over him.

Maybe. I have been forgotten. In this day of mad and insane rush it does not take long to be numbered among the things that were, and to oass out of memory. It is a sad thing to contemplate the fac+ that you are soon forgotten. Had you ever thought of it. Well- after all, I I reckon it .does not make much difference to us whether we are remembered after we are gone or not. There has been so much politics and so much about disaster on land \ and sea that I reckon the reader has not cared for what I might say any way. I want to advise the people?you i know, I do not charge for my advice, though I am satisfied it would pay you to take it even if in broken doses?! but I want to advise you that it will i not pay you to worry too much about | politics. The politician will soon for- j get you, and if he does not the papers will harp about his standing to his friends and all that sort of thing? that is, if they happen to be against' him. Well, I like to see a man stand ; to his friends. If I had any I think I; would stand to them. I don't know j how else I would expect to retain them. And I think it is a mignty sorry , man who will not stand to his friends, j I have seen some who would drop you ; as soon as they could not use you any j longer, and I have seen them drop out of the limelight mighty hard, too, and they ought to. Bnt really I want to write about something eTse. I walked down street the other day ind my, how they are putting down jricK pcLve.xitiiiu i was wuuueriiig wu^ | irangements are not made to have the I whole of the public square paved j while at it, and cut off that little park : in front of the old court house and j make one in the rear of the building, j and i: would not cost very much to put it down and while we are at it. j What an improvement it would be, and | the little parks that could be made in j' this way would add so much to the j. yeauty and attractiveness of the city, j md then it would save cost in paving, j ro run this street through and leave I ill this vacant ground has the appear-! ance that we are trying to do some-1 :hing and couldn't. ?o? ! . j While I Tvas wondering about these things my eye happened to catch a glimpse of the Confederate monument. I wish you would look at it the next time you pass that way. Seems to me tha I read in he papers that there was a cleaning up day advertised in the newspapers the other day. Was it the 15th? Well, this day I looked at :he monument was after the loth and : had in')r b<. :i cleaned up. 1 suppose the monument was decorated on Memorial day, bux it must have been decorated with some peculiar flowers, ir' it should be left in this condition. hi/-! it mucrt Vi i v.-> r>icer>rl r?llt fit TllPlll C4.J1V4, Jt 111 HOC i I 11 ? V V4 w ~ w ory after Memorial day, for it is a ! sight. Well, yo:i just go and take a look for your. It is ;i sin and a crying shaau . ; U-i thai moih.fi;? nr.

Von know, long ! ago 1 son* ?o\v Io ;* iai<:-'si in Memorial dav, and ! iec-kon it is wrong, ! but?well, I wa.it to see that monu ! ment cleaned off mid if it is not done I I will have SGine one do it myself, i You know there is one follow who shouts and another who fights. One who says go ii boys, and another who leads and says come on boys. There is the hero of peace who never smelt powder and the hero of war, who bared his breast to the foe. You know what 1 mean. But if there is a civic association or a cleaning up commit tee, I beg you in the name oi all tnat is right and just and honorable, and in the remembrance of the men whose names are on that monument, have it cleaned and do not decorate with any thing tnat win leave u in lis present condition. Don't take my word, but go and see for yourself. Talking about monuments reminds me that I walked down to the old graveyard the other day. I expect there are people in Newberry who don't know where it is or what I am talking about. Who was that who wrote once something about a people without ruins is a people without memories, and a people without memories is a people without liberty. You get the idea I hope. This old grave yard I reckon belongs to tne town, in its present condition I reckon the town would disown ownership. If the town has any slf-respect I know it would disown it, but the town does own it, and it should have attention. I mean the graveyard and I reckon the town too. There are a number of old tombs there and on the markers are names that are no longer heard in Newberry county. The place is a wilderness and should be cleaned j off and kept in respectable condition, j There are magnificent old oaks and! hickories here and the good name of i the town demands that the place be I given attention. These old trees are | locking down on you from the bygone j days and weeping over your j neglect. Remember, a people without mmories is a people without liberty. How can you keep those | memories fresh if you neglect such sacred spots as this one. I noticed that one square had been cleaned,: which T suppose is done once a year, j and the trash and shrubbery which came from it were piled on some other! lots, and it only made the whole place : look worse than if this cleaning had not been done. I wish I could com man a worus strung euuugii lu wane up the sleeping sentiment of our people to the importance of this work, and to make them see and realiz? that their good name and their very liberty was involved, because I believe they have really forgotten that memories cling around this sacred; spot. Memories that should be dear to! every citizen of Newberry. ?0? There is much more that I want to1 say and that T am going to say, but I j will have to stop for this time. Clean- j ing up day. Was it observed. Maybe j so, but I have seen mighty little evidence. Look around you and teil me if I am mistaken. No good to wear badges. What you want to do is to do things. That's it. The Idler. Gratitude. Sir Thomas Lipton relates the following experience of his own: "When I was starting in business t was very poor and needed every penny I could earn to enlarge my little busi-1 ness. I had a lad of fourteen as as- j sistant. One Monday morning the boy came in with a very mournful ex- | pression. I asked him what the trou- ; ble was, and he said: " 'I have not clothes fit to wear to church, sir. I can't get a new suit, because my father is dead and I have to, help my mother pay the rent.' "I thought it over and finally took j enough money from my hard-earned j savings to buy the lad a good, warm i suit of clothes, with which he was de-! i lighted. "The next day he did not come to j work, nor the next; and when three days had gone by and I had heard nothing from him, T went to his home; to find out what had become of him. " 'Well, you see, sir.' said the mother of the boy, 'Robert looks so respec table in nis new suit, tnanKs 10 you, j sir, that we thought he had better look around town and see if he couldn't get a better job.'

Philadelphia, .May IS.?Baseball his-! j tory was made here today when t he j players of the Detroit A.neriean league club went on strike and refused to play the schedule game with the ; Philadelphia Athletics lecans P.an J .Johnson, president of the league, uau j refused to lift the suspension h'? had placed against Tv Cobb for s: .'iking a spectator in Xew York, who, ii is alleged used insulting language towards i i Cobb during the game. As a conse: quence the Philadelphia tea n defeati ed a makeshift team played in the field , I j by Manager Jennings by a ?;core of. 24 to 2. The regular Detroit players went to \ the ball park,, but when, after a short' practice, they learned that Cobb would j not be permitted to play, they returned to a hotel in the centre of the city, j tVt A ffomA iri c > 1 II uuc WC7 v? CLJ UCJIlg pmjVi LUCJf l discussed the situation and eve y one of them, questioned, said Vioy r'e'tj "the suspension of Cobb was an outrag? and that they would stand together." The players expressed the best of feeling towards the owners of the Detroit club, but were outspoken in j their criticisms of Mr. Johnson. They1: | said that if the matted is not setled j they may go on a "barnstorming I trip." I Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Americans, said tonight that i Detroit had placed a team in the fisld. I according to the rules, and therefore 1 he had played the game and won. He j would not comment further. WASHINGTON INTERESTED. I Little Else Discussed Beside Suspension of Ty Cobb. j Washington, May 13.?Little else was discussed' around the capitol to day, but the suspension of Ty Cobb of the Detroit baseball club for his mixup with a spectator in New York a day or two ago. Grave senators and house members lost interest in the question of whether or not tolls should be charged for ships using the Panama canal, the effect of the Bristow amendment to the popular election of senators, tariff schedules and other matters that ordinarily absorb the minds of the naticnal lawmakers. It was all Ty Cobb. There was nothing else to it. Many members of both houses left their places and went to < the American league park, where they might discuss the most interesting question, which has ever arisen in organized baseball with their neighbors, i the fans. The Georgia delegation in congress, including both Senators Hoke Smith and Augustus 0. Bacon, wired their confidence to Cobb and assured him that-they not- only believed him justified in chastising the man said to have been guilty of applying a vile epithet to liim, but commended his j stand and pledged their loyal support. If Cobb comes to Washington with the Detroit team next Tuesday, when that club is due here, he will probably receive the biggest ovation ever given a ball player in Washington.
