Henry Harms, j - - - ( to the faculty of Newberry college, to the winners of the inter-collegiate contests, to the students, to the alumni and friends of the college everywhere ?to all that goodly company who made possible the big victories of Newberry college during the past year. The commencement which closed on Wednesday was a great commencement, and it was epochal. There is in it fine inspiration for greater endeavor for the college in the future. Congratulations, everybody! There is as much interest in the se- j 1 A" hv fVl Ck (rfMt HST- ! leUlMJIl Ui uj vuv ^ ? ties of the country as there generally is in the election. * The Taft big roller is being run right along over Teddy. The question j is will they be able to do that when the convention meets. It looks now very much like the nomination of Mr. i Taft The Press association decided to I hold the next annual convention at | the Isle of Palms, which we think a 1 wjs$ decision. The best results are ! <- VV " . . ??Hual eratherirgs 1 V/UUClIII^rU XXV/XAJL ?T?r,rrr.r ^. T" j by having them at some resort hotel j where all the members live as one i 1 i family. This can not be had by taking j the association around over the State ; to exploit towns and communities. Mr. C. J. Ramage, of Saluda, delivered a f?ne speech in the opera house , ? i on Tuesday morning on the initiative, referendum and recall, and he was on the right side of a live subject. It;. sounds fine to talk about referring ev- j erything to the people, but there is j a great deal of heresy in the doctrine, J as Mr. Ramage very forcibly points j out His address in printed in full. Read it. The State executive committee has j arranged a separate campaign for the candidates for the United States sen- | ate which is well, but really there is j very little use for a campaign at all.; We feel sure that the people of South Carolina are going to re-elect Senator Tillman if he lives. If he should die j the lists will be open for other entries. We hope Senator Tillman will not attempt any campaign. He will be elect- j ed without it and the strain would be j too much for him. I Now, here is Ed DeCamp talking; about "grouchy." Who is "grouchy" and what is it. anyhow? Listen: "EI bert Aull, of Newberry, is becoming grouchy. Every time anybody refers to i him these days he takes it seriously. Shake yourself, old boy, and get right i again." Now, Ed is a fine fellow, but; Ed was never more mistaken in his life if he thinks Elbert Aull holds any illwill against anybody, for he never felt more kindly to all mankind than he does at this time, and less inclined to controversy. It does pain us, however, to have so many otherwise clev- j 1 - ' ?~ ~ ^ i r\vo Kcrna lie A : er p Cup it? ^wuu aic tuuui v>/, uvvuuw we happen not agree with them on. some matter, assigning improper mo- j tives. Why can not people disagree with you without your being everything that is bad in the catalogue of j badness? i "Grouchy"?well, we do not know ! what it is, but if it is something ter-' rible we asure you that we are not i that. Listen, Ed: Broaden your vision, j Think more lrfndly of your fellowman. i Don't let any politician interfere with ' your happiness. Don't conclude that | the world has gone to the demnition i pow-wows if things don't go as you tviinv thpv misrht. to eo. Don't imagine I that all patriotism and all civic righteousness is centred in any one man, and that because some one does not aeree with you that he has no good j in him. Don't take all your ques from the big and little dailies. They ~nay lead you far astray. Get that linen ' duster and straw* hat and hie you away to the press associaton. We are sorry we can't be with you, but we can't leave home during commencement * <? <?><?<$><?><?> <8> <S> THE IDLER ^ | <$> $ | I read the following in some newspaper the other day, and it struck me as being pretty good, and I always like to pass on anything that 1 think is good so that it may help some one else: "This world of ours is not so very large after all, but do not try to carry it on your shoulders. Leave that job! .. , .1 ' - - * -"?J Kiiei. I to Atlas ana anenu uu yvm uwu uuoi- : ness. He is used to it." Now, I know that you have seen people who acted as if the whole world and all its cares and responsibilities were on their shoulders, and that when they passed out there would be no one - - it- v:1_ T4- i_ ?,^11 iett wno was worui wune. it ib y for all of us to remember that no one of us is indispensible, and that the old world will rock along just about the same when we are gone. The point is not to worry yourself with the idea tha;t you are the whole cheese and that all wisdom is centred in you, for it ain't. The other point is that you | n-iii hptiter and bft haDPier if you! attend to your own business and let! the other fellow do the same thing, j Another excerpt which was round in the same connection may be apropos at this time! It does us good some-1 times to pick up little hunks of philosophy and of wisdom: . "If there is a candidate, State or county, who was not a poor boy, very poor, and had to work and delve and toil all the years of his youth, he will please report A sight of him would give us a little variety." Well, in this great country of ours i you know it is our boast that the poor- j est and the humblest may rise to the i highest position within the gift of the j people, and .we have some notable ex- 1 amples where this has been done, and there is no harm in the candidate telling of his humble origin. The men who are born with silver spoons in j ? A j J their mouths do not amount 10 mueu j any way. If he has won his way in the j world by a life of service for the good J of his fellowman he has a right to be proud of it, but maybe it is just as' well not to be telling about it all the' time, and I reckon that is what this ! editor meant by this paragraph. I I see that the town is going to have j a hospital. Well, I reckon it is a good j thing?in fact I know a good hospital! is a good thing. The thing is to keep j it going up to the standard after it'is | built. It seems to me that I used to | ier than the running of it after it is j built. It seems to me that I used o hear an old adse which ran something like this: "An ounce of prevention is; worth a pound of cure," or words to that effect. I was just wondering if it! would not be a good thing to have in j connection with the hospital a little precaution taken in the matter of pre-! venting disease. In the matter of a clean town, for instance. It does not! take a person with very good eye-sight j to see that we are rather short on this j thing you call a clean town. I know I we had a cleaning up day, but it onlyj lasted for one day and that is not suf- j ficient. One cart for the whole town j can not begin to do service for a town ' the size of Newberry. Look around you at any place you please and see the condition, and then ask yourself if my point is not wen taKen. I was just thinking?yes, thinking? the other day what a great work Mr. John Kinard could have done for the poor of Newberry if he had taken up | my suggestion for that park?The Id- j ler's park?and put the enthusiasm in] it that he put in the hospital. If he j had done so when I called on him a! few years ago the park would have been here, and we could have been en- j joying it this very year. And the poor j people would have helped him. If he I will look at his list of subscribers to the hospital a little closely he will find that he has raised his subscriptions from the poor people. Look at the names and see how out of proportion to the means are the subscriptions. Then the poor people could have enjoy- I ed the park while the rich went away to the mountains in the summer. And it would have helped them to stay out of the hospital. It would have given them a litle recreation. Mr. Opportunity is still knocking at your door, Mr. Kinard. Will you open the door and let him in? The land can still be had. Go over some evening and take a look at beautiful Willowbrook, and see how the children enjoy it, and see what happy and beautiful children they are. It will do your very soul good to see them. Take some of your rich friends along with you. The noor neoDle are ready and willing and waiting. They will help you. They ask you to lead the movement. They helped to make the rich. The rich can't carry away with them to that unknown land any more than the poor. Why not all get together and make each other happy while we are here, j We are all one body and one can't; live without the other. We will not j be here long. Mr. Kinard, will you not' do me the favor to take your board of i governors, or whatever name you call them, of the chamber of commerce, i over to Willowbrook some evening, j 1 am sure Mr. Wright and Mr. Davis ! and the rest of the good people Df West; End will be glad to see you and will! welcome you. I am sure if you will i you will help me to get The Idler's j park. 0, it is so easy, inat it manes j my heart sick to think that the good people of Newberry will not wake up to its importance. I had become al- J most disheartened, but I went over to Willowbrook the other evening, and when I looked at the happiness there among those children, and the grown; ups, too, I could not help from saying to myself, why will not the people on the other side come across and build a nark for the town, and I determin-! r? ? - - - ed then and there to make one more appeal, and here it is. What will you j do? Why wait? Thre was never any ! better time than now. In fact, it is j all you have. Yesterday is gone for- j ever Tomorrow may never come.

The Idler, j WHITMIRE CORRESPONDENT AT DUE WEST COMMENCEMENT Lives Over in Memory the Days of Yore.?Commencement Impressions?News of Whitmire. I Whitmire, June 13.?We wonder if I any one missed the Whitmire news; last week. Perhaps net. Sometimes! even the most humble are inclined to feel their importance. Then some, really great person passes over the river and everything wags right on. J.t seems tnai even uw great art: uvi | missed any more than a finger would, I be when it had been thrust into the I sea and withdrawn. It brings a feeling of sadness to know that when we step out from our places some one else will | step in and fill them perhaps better j than we did. But have you ever wished you could call back your youth and tread once again in those paths where you then walked. Well, just such a r 1-'-? ?

To stand at the foot of the handsome monument to a sainted uncle, Rev.! W. M. Grier, D. D., and see in the city of the dead the lesser monuments to the dear departed. ; We had a long tiresome wait in Greenwood, but managed to get a glimpse of the governor as he stepped from our train, to see the great crowd of people waiting to hear the speech and to hear the loud hurrahs for Blease. We pushed our way through the surging mass of people and swung on to a heavy suit case which we did not let get out of sight.; You know the train from Donnalds i does not go into Due West on Sabbath Anir -oro Vn/iw +hat if the suit case uaj y uuu Tf V uuv *? v?WW ? was misplaced we would not have a costume in which to listen to the bac-! j calaureate sermon. We reached our destination about sun down and found : a loving daughter ready to embrace us. While in the little city we were the! jrnest of Dr. and Mrs. Jas. S. Moffatt. i It was a great pleasure to again see! them in their home surrounded by i eight bright, healthy, happy children, some now grown to manhood and wo- j manhood. The doctor, with all of his I arduous duties has time to be a de- j votea nusoana ana a paueut, iu?uig father, and Jennie, such a pretty middle aged woman reminded me of this incident: A lady who for many years J had had charge of a female seminary,' and had sent from it into life many j hundreds of young women called them together on a special occasion. Whenj they were seated before her she arose j and said: "Well, girls, I Know your faces, but I can't remember your names. But many of you have chang-1 ' ed your names. I can tell at a glance by your handsome appearance which ones of you have married and I will advise all of the single ones to pro' -i 3 >1 ceed at once ana get imtmeu. We dined on Tuesday at Prof. P. L. Grier's. The guests were many and covered a range of territory from Jacksonville to Philadelphia. Prof, and Mrs. Grier have a handsome home. Time has dealt gently with them and the children are of great promise. We spent a delightful evening with Prof, and Mrs. Edgar Long. He and Agnes seem perfectly happy and are filled with joy and pride over Eleanor Reynolds, the lirst baby. They have bought and are beautifying the old home of Dr. W. M. Grier. So many fond, yet sad, recollection crept over us as we walked in its rooms a nd strolled in the yard that we could hardly keep back the tears. And Mrs. Lila Bonner, the dear teacher of former years, she recognized us at once. She reminded us of the poem, "Grow Illg U1U Vjri CWJCIUIIJ . "Years rol on and pass forever, What is coming who can say?" "But they change as all things change here. Nothing in this world can last." Yes, there have been many changes in Due West since we were there. We won t say now long ago as mat mignt make us appear old. Handsome dwellings have taken the place of old ones. Up-to-date stores have been built. The railroad has come in, and automobiles are seen going in every direction. But the swe?t peaceful Sabbath in Due West.
