Tuesday, January 7, 1913.
This is a mighty good time to use
the split log drag. Had you thought
-i?* ,f ,1At VOM have another
cUJUUl it. it 11 w
thought coming to you.
Beware how you sign petitions. You
can never tell how much influence
your signature may carry with it. Of
course, if you mean it, it is all right.
The legislature meets next Tuesday.
Better subscribe for The Herald and
News now if you want to keep posted
on what your legislators are doing.
The Herald .and News w*Il have a
special letter for each issue covering
all Columbia news.
And that gathering \ye wanted of the
people of Xewberry around the same
board with their feet under the same
table, it seems, is going to fail, too.
That is too bad. What can we suggest
for the good of the order? Surely
there is something. Help us.
The petition for the annexation of a
portion of Lexington county to Xewberry
has been filed with the governor
and is said to contain a majority of
the residents of the portion proposed
to be cut off and the election will be
ordered as soon as all the require
ments of the law are complied with.
Some newspaper correspondent is
sending out from Columbia the rumor
that the lines will be drawn in the
legislature between the adherents of
Gov. Blease and those opposed to him.
Why try to stir up matters like this?
Let us hope that the legislature will
not waste its time in petty poliics.
loot lotritelntiire rfid n suffciencv of

that.
The railroad commission of Georgia
has issued an order requiring railroads
to tell the truth in their bulletins
as to arrival of trains". If a train
is an hour late it will be a violation
of the order to mark It up twenty
minutes late and then change the
marking up later. A heavy penalty is
tc be imposed for a violation of this
order. Will the South Carolina railicad
commission please take notice.
We can see no good reason for the
railroads to withhold the correct information
as to the delay of trains.
And yet they do it nearly every time
and cause great loss of time to many
passengers.
Gov. Blease has revoked a number
of commissions of notaries public. We
i
co not know his reason, but we hope
it is' not because they are not political
ft
friends of his, or that some one has
said they do not want a commission
signed by him. Things like that are
too email to be taken cognizance of
by a governor. It any ot these gentlemen
are so small as to make such a
remark let them he small enough to
resign their commission. There are
big things demanding the attention of
the chief magistrate of this State at
this time, and there is no use to fritter

This is a time demanding constructive
statesmanship.
The following are said to be some of
. the new measures to be introduced at
the approaching session of the legislature.
Some of them are good and
should be made the law of the land,
while some of them should find an
easy oblivion never again to be resurrected
:
A bill to abolish the hosiery mill at
the State penitentiary; a bill to provide
a two-cent passenger rate on railroads;
a bill for a State warehouse
system for storing cotton, perfected
so as to meet the defects of the bill
passed last year and which was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme
court; a resolution to submit to the
people an amendment to the constitution
so as to provide for the election
of all judges by the people; a bill to
raise the salaries of all judges; a
f
bill to perfect the law in re'ation to
tile duties of the board of pardons; a
i
bill to perfect the law in relation to j
i th. electrocution of condemned crinij
I
inals; a bill providing for compulsory |
education; a bill providing for women;
suffrage; a bill to prohibit hazing in
colleges, and a mass of local bills,
chief among which will be one to pro*

$ THE IDLEK. ^
* ' * * <9> <?> <$> <i> "$> <? <?> -?> $> <?
I heard a man say the other day
| that the old story yon used to hear!
that "Competition is tlie life of trade,*'
was all wrong, and after thinking
about it I am about persuaded that
J this man was right, or is right, in this !
1 conclusion. Too much competition
j and the cutting of prices below a legitimate
profit and the making of an
hor.ert living, is not the life of trade,
..... ,, i
I but may result in driving out an com-i
petition, because the strong can soon
make the weak go to the wall, a.::d
'then the strong will have the business
all to himself. This1 same man
remarked that "Competition is good
for manners" There is a whole lot of
truth in this statement. Had you ever
thought of it in this light? A little
competition makes every one just a
little more polite. I believe that the
telephone is one thing that should have
a monopoly, because it is confusing
when we have two or three systems in
a town, and then it is more expensive,
too, and yet sometimes I am almost
persuaded?not meant for Newberry?
uidi 'a. uti-ic v-uuijjcutiuu JII nit H.1&phone
business might be good for
manners. Courtesy, politeoiess, kindness,
oh, these are great assets'. What
little use I make of the telephone in
Newberry I can say truthfully that I
have always received the most prompt
and courteous attention, but now and
then I have had occasion to use the
telephone in other places; afld I have
wanted, so bad, to say a woVd to express
the thought above?"Competition
| is good for manners." This applies
not only to telephones, but to all other
public business, and I hold the position
that no one has a right to take a
situation that requires work for the
public, who does not beforehand make
up his mind to be polite and courteous,
even to people who ask silly and foolish
questions.
?0?
A long time ago I had the pleasure
to make a trip to New York, and it
interested me very much. I could
profitably spend the time standing on
the sidewalk?sufficiently to one side
not to be run over?looking at the
great throng of people coming and going?especially
in the morning and in
the afternoon when the people were
going and returning from their work.
I looked and wondered, and looked
and wondered some more, where all
these people came from and where
they were going; and where they lived.
*nd what their purpose in life was;
nnd then I wondered again why sort>e
cf them did not come down to this
beautiful and balmy Southland of ours,
where they could have plenty of fresh
air and have elbow room. I stood
one evening about dark at the entrance
to the great Brooklyn bridge on the
New York side of the river, and watched
the thousands and thousands of
people who-were niaking their way to
the Brooklyn side of the river. A policeman
wras stationed there. A great
big strong Irishman. I stood by him
for some time. He was asked all sorts
of foolish questions, some that I, a
stranger, would not nave a'.Keu, uecause
they were silly and useless. He
invariably answered every one politely
and courteously and generally with a
. smile. I finally asked him, when there
i was a little lull in the questions, if
| he didn't get tired answering so many
! silly questions. He' answered politely
i niid courteously: "That's what I*m
j
here for." I have thought of that
Irishman many a time since, and wondered
whv we could not all realize and
I
I appreciate what we are here for, and
J if we didn't know, make diligent inquiry
and try to find out. It- would
be of great benefit to the world if we
^onld just find out what we are here
for. I sometimes wonder if some of
us are here for any good purpose, and
then I think of the great Creator who
! "a r .jnvthinp without a Dili*- |
| UCVti UV\^W
i pose, and wonder again why we can
! not find out what that purpose is.
| What are you here for? That's the
; question you better ask yourself. Then
try to fill that purpose.
?o?
r ran across a man the other day
who was a wonder. He knew it all.
i What he didn't know about politic?.
......
!ir r.-'1 \on .:!': (! .-fili and takr !r{tic".
Yi)!i, no (loui)i, haw seen n jpl?' like
that. The know-alls?rliry are wond'-rs.
Some of them live right here in
Newberry. And why shouldn't they
liv( h' re. This is good soil in which
to ti?rive. 1 read a book the other
day in which amo: g the thirteen great
tilings of the world one was ?et 'down
as Ignorance. That nay seem strange,
but 1 am inclined to agree with the
author. Ignorance. That may astound
some of the people who are decrying
the ignorance in this State, but I almost
concluded that it was a great
thing to be ignorant. Especially when
I see and size up some o{' the learned
people with whom I come in contact
nearly every day. "A man who pretends
to knowledge which he has not,
is like a pigmy wearing giant's clothes,
?j?1??. V./-V u-Vin Qflmitc Tenor
riuicuiuuis, uui iic "uu .j.
anc? is like a strong knight, clothed
in a well-fitting suit of mail, ready to
achieve truth.
"When a man declares openly hi?
ignorance concerning things of which
he knows but little the world listens
wi:h increased r spect when he speaks
of the things he knows; but when a
man claims knowledge of all things,
the world doubts mightily that be
knows much of anything, a id accepts
questioningly whatever he says of
everything.

harms him not at all, neither does it
harm the world; but that, which,
through a shallow, foolish, self-conceit,
he professes to know, when he at best
only has half knowledge or, in a self
destructive vanity, deceives himself
into thinking he knows, betrays him
always to the injury of both himself
and others. An honest Ignorance is
a golden vessel, empty, ready to be
filled with wealth, but a pretentious
or arrogant knowledge is a vessel so
filled with worthless trash that there
J-'U ^ 4- 10 r\ VQ llip ''

I make no charge for giving this information,
but I do most sincerely hope
that some of the people I have met
would read what is- here said and take
notice for their own sake and for their
friends' sake. "One should not think
that because a man is ignorant of
some things that he is therefore a
fool; his ignorance may be the manifestation
of a choice wiser than that
of the one who elects' to sit in judgment
upon him." The first step to
- * L' * * -
knowledge IS, inereiuie, i(j icani
you do not know it all. That there is
something you may learn. Take the
hint? See the point?
They tell me the chamber of commerce
couldn't mset the other night.
It rained. Of course you could not
expect these tender and dsiicate people
to go out when it looked like it^
might rain. I move that the chamber
,)f commerce disband and let everybody
look out for himself and "devil
take the hindmost." That is about the
way it is any how. Why make the
r?>;leme of getting together and trying
to do anything under the general
welfare clause?
Mr. Mayor Wright, some one told
me you had a little book in which you
put down all suggestions and all advice
that was offered. Please get out
that book, and take your pencil in
hand, and then get in your automobile
and make a note of some of the
streets you have right up your way,
and right out the other way, and then
rio-ht rmt thp other wav. and see if
you can't do something. Yes, do
something. That's the thing. Don't
simply make a note, but act. How
can you expect your city to grow and
prosper when you permit such miserable
things as you have to pass for
streets'. Good roads?good streets?
are an evidence of civilization. Did
you hear that? It is a quotation from
a high authority. You desire your
city to rank among the civilized tribes,
I know, and I know you c laim a high
state of civilization. Then let's have
some streets that would be a credit to
civilization. Look at them and answer
me man to it if we have them.
Then I am told out here on the road
to Prosperity, right in town, is one of
the worst mudholes between here and
Prosperity. It would' cost only a few
dollars to repair it. If you are short
of funds suppose we take up a charity
subscription to fix it. I will contribute
one dollar. I know Mayor Wright
will give five dollars and the Summer
garage will give ten and that is all
that is needed to do the work. Let*s
do it now, today. Why wait? Then
the road to Prosperity and to .Talapa
and to the steel bridge and to Cald
wells and to the poor house?just think
of it?the road to the poor house is
almost impassable and we may need
to use it. Let's fix it and all the others.
Just a little attention. The cost
would be insignificant. And remember,
good roads is an evidence of civilization.
