?k* fimia isi Entered at the Postoffice ->* AT^.vSiny, S. C., as 2*k1 class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, April 18, 1913. The Newberry Herald and nevs asks "why don't those State House officers shake hands and make up." We suggest that Brother Aull come down to Columbia and act as peace commissioner.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. We have read good authority for the blessings which belong to the peacemaker, but we sometimes almost doubt if those blessings referred in any way to the Quarrels of latter day politicians. So we> have decided to offer our advice from afar and to be; contont therewith. | ?? If we are not mistaken, the real estate men of Spartanburg, who should be the big boosters and advertisers, are loafing on their jobs. Adtising pays, gentlemen.?Spartanburg Herald. We were just thinking about the same thing as to Newberry. The real estate men, if they are alive to their Job, can do more to boost a communi' aoC ty than any other ciass ui uusxu^^ men in the community. They must know how to advertise, for advertising is the life of their business. Fact Is, all business men in Newberry need to do more advertising. But it is especially true that the real estate menj must be boosters if they expect their business to flourish, and if their business is brisk, it means that there is ~ ?~w,rviTi_ business in other lines m iue I'm n in n? nity. Every man of this community needs to constitute himself a committee of one to boost. If every man you meet would tell you that you were looking bad and you must be sick, it matters not how hearty you may have been at the beginning of?such a crusade against your health, you would soon sicken and die. Same as to a o m The reverse comniiuiiij ui a, w? of that propositon is true. Try the reverse on your town. It is said that one of the "must" editorial paragraphs appearing, semi-weekly in the esteemed Newberry Herald and News must relate to some feature of improved public roads?an appeal usually for the use of the split log drag or other method ~ ' ^ flondftinns. Fre or Deueniig iuau qu-ently these appeals ai>. xot limited to a mere paragraph, and Col. Aull's practical knowledge of the situation enables him to present the case clearly and forcibly.?Laurensville Herald. It is not only a "must" editorial, t tut it bears a "d. i. m." lafcel. You knew what that means we suppose. We made a solemn pledge with ourgp.Ivpr some years ago that so long as we printed a newspaper, or had a voice, we would lose no opportunity to write and 'print and speak a word in behalf of good roads, and improved rural schools, the two great problems before the American people today. You may talk about your tariff and your mnnev Question and your scientific farming, aDd all that sort of stuff as much as you please, but the two most vital questions before the people today are the roads and the rural schools and both need and demand in their solutions wise and intelligent i^o/?oTs;hin an/i snnervision. The peo iVMUV* v??v|. ? ? ? ? __ pie are just beginning to wake up to the importance of the subjects and their importance. The subject of better roads is old and the people have been sleeping and wasting their energy on bad roads without knowing it or realizing the value of doing something. It is said that away back in the days of Eobbie Burns, the Scotch poet, about 1786, he penned the following lines: "I'm now arrived?thanks to the gods!? Thro' pathways rough and muddy A certain sign that makin' roads Ts rin this nporiles stnrtv Altho' I'm not wi' Scripture cram'd I'm sure the Bible says That heedless sinners shall be damn'd Unless they mend their ways." If Burns lived now, he would probably be writing verse just a little stronger than this, for it is impossible to conceive that England had such roads as we find in this civilized country the greater part of the year. i .. V. I The 64 pages in five sections of that special water power -edition of the Columbia Record last w^eek was indeed a magnificent production, from the beautiful cover to the close of the wonderful story. Remarkable evidences of the growth in popularity and success of this leading Columbia daily are hailed with great satisfaction by thousands of friends through j. r\ "D/i (JUL auu ui uaruiiua. jran oiiuctis showed up grandly in the production, having a large and important part in thia picture. The special edition of the Laurens Advertiser last week was a line issue of a splendid paper. The Advertiser is one of the best of our exchanges, always bright and cheerful; so that that journal, while it did not exactly outshine itself in this late special edition, nevertheless emitted many rays of a high degree of brilliancy not of. ten possible for a semi-weekly outside of a great metropolis. Long live Laurens' live little luculent literary lucubratory. Congressman Johnson says he is going to visit his district and personally look after his "fences." In the candidacy of S. J. Nichols Mr. Johnson is going to have opposition that will have to be reckoned with.?Spartanburg Herald. . .. We agree with you, but we don't j just exactly understand how it is that i the Herald is mentioning Sam Nich-1 oils editorially and favorably. It i | seems to us that only a few short j moons ago the Herald would scarcely) mention the 'name and certainly did not have a favorable comment to make. Sam Nicholls is a fine fellow j and top would be glad to j UJL auiut; - ? i see him in congress. We were afraid I that .he had committed the unpardon-! able political sin in the eyes of the ; Herald, but we are delighted that it is not true. Write to evrybodv you know and ! tell them that Anderson is the best| place on the map.?Anderson Mail. That is good doctrine. It would not> hurt if you told every one with whom j you talked that your town was the i * . Dest piace on me uiap. x uu i-auij make other people believe in your \ town if you do not say a good word; fof it -every time you have the op-1 portunity. Our young friend, W. P. Houseal, th-e "Dutch Prophet," talks very know-; ingly and intimately of that cold fif-j teenth day of April, 1849. We had no idea that he could remember that far l back, especially so as to go into de-1 tails as to the appearance of the -earth! and the trees and the shrubbery ana all vegetation, but then he always did, have a good memory as to dates. ! It would be a good idea for all the school trustees to attend the teachers Tie^ting at WFitmire on the 26th. Certainly no teacher can afford to miss the meeting. This is fine weather and the roads are in line condition ior ine use 01 tne split log drag. The proper application of the drag to the roads at this time would give you good roads until the winter season. Why not try i? Too busy, of course, is* the answ-er, and yet you lose a great deal more time trying to go over bad roads than it would take to drag them. ?Supervisor Hill is going to work I the road to Whitmire at once so that the teachers may take the trip on the 26th. He will first work the road via Caldwell place and C. S. Suber's, and then take the direct road from Whitmire to Newberry. The route the t-eachers will take will be via Caldwell road. Baxley-Miller. The following invitations have been issued: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Eve Baxley request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of thtir daughter Flora Lillian iu Mr. Henry Bunyan Miller on the evening of Wednesday, the thirtieth of April at eight o'clock at their home Tallapoosa, Georgia. I "COUNTY FAIT?" PREPARING HOME TALENT PLAY Ta hp Presented in \ewherrv flip Evenings of the 24th and 25th Instant. The Calvin Crozier chapter, U. D. C. have at their business meeting decided by a unanimous vote to take up a home talent play, entitled "Newberry County Fair." This play was written by Annie Sara Bock, a West Virginian who has made the drilling and producing of home talent plays a specialty. This home talent play "The; County Fair" has been her biggest and most successful. Wherever it has been given it has been an immense success, as it no doubt will be in Newberry. The plan and plot of this play is very simple?nothing but a County Fair scene with all manner of people coming to the fair. It will be a real picture of the real old time County Fair, with displays innumerable or rich, yellow pumpkins, big potatoes, immense squashes, monstrous ears of yellow corn, red apples and any and every kind of fruit and vege' * *? 3 V? 4-V.? fomiflrc r\f Mow t?lDi S raibtJU uy II1C IQi o u J. .<vif berry county. Not.only will there be displays of these farm products, but the needlework, machinery and handiwork of the thrifty inhabitants | of Newberry county will also occupy a conspicuous space. While the displays above described are always looked for at the county fair yet tlie real interest of this particular "Newberry County Fair" is in the dialogue of the visitors at the fair and in the musical numbers to be presented. As the scene opens the loudmouthed fakers, lemonade man, sideshow man, balloon man will almost deafen you with their mighty yells. Then follows a quick succession of farmers, old maids, school boys, jockeys, preachers, bride and groom, gold brick men, city visitors and all the characters one can possibly imagine at a county fair, each with an appro i priate dialogue and conversation. All these dialogues are of the most humorous nature and have a lift and spirit to them that convulses and amuses even th^ most staid audience. But after all, no amateur entertainment at this day and' age can be a success without plenty of good lively up-to-date music, and we will have it in the county fair. One of the big musical features is a moon cnorus by 150 little girls and boys between the ages of six and fifteen. It is one of the pretti and cutest ever. There will be another children's chorus and six young men and young ladies choruses. All of these are the latest, catchiest song productions and are presented in a beautiful, attractive manner. The Calvin Crozier chapter has decided to produce this entertainment the evenings of April 241 and 25. The committees have been appointed for the various departments of the preliminary work. The best talent of the city will be invited and there can be no doubt of the fair being a ronsing success, as our talent, we believe, is rather superior to that of the average town. uruer i?r imus* Two farmers sat in a public room of a local hotel. Neither of th-em could rend or write, and each was ignorant of the other's failing, says Tit; Bits. A waiter coming into the room jharded one of them a telegram, j The farmer opened it at once, and I pretended to read, saying as he did ?o. "Very eood; very good indeed!" loud enough for the other to hear. T-Te then hand-ed him tne ceirgram, ^cking him if he would advise him to accept the offer. No. 2 also pretended to read and said that it was very s:ood, but he could not think of advising him in a matter of that sort. The first'farmer then got a telegram form to write his acceptance of the offer he pretended he had received, j Not being able to write, he pretended 'that he had sprained his wrist and j asked No. 2 to write it for him. But j he at once refused on the plea that | they would recognize his handwriting. ; The waiter was then called in and j farmer No. 1 addressed his as fol lows: "Will you kindly answer this telegram for me?" handing it to him to {read. Tell them I'll take half a score I at five shillings per head." "put, sir," said the waiter, "there must be some mistake. That is not the answer to this surely. Your telegram says, "Come at once: twins." "Great Scott?" yelled the farmer, " nnal" "i've given you me wiuug unc; Two Well Known Visitors in Colnmfiia. Columbia cor. News and Courier, 17th. Solicitor R. A. Cooper, of Laurens, was another visitor here in attedance on the supreme court. Mr. Cooper is a candidate for governor in 1914, and is keeping his ear to the ground. He & s+rone in the nnper section of the State particularly, and his friend? are confident that he has a good ouriook for success. : Col. E. H. Aull, the well known editor of the Newberry Herald and News, j and at present superintendent of edu; cation for Newberry county, was Celling of the fine progress his county was making in giving her people educational facilities.

"I knew we would have hard times as soon as Wilson got to be president," * said a farmer to a Sebree business man i the other night while discussing the tobacco situation. "Why, Wilson has not taken his seat yet," said the business man. "Yes, sir, he is right in the president's chair now and is the cause of all this trouble," insisted the farmer. "No, he does not take his seat until next March," explained the merchant. "Well, sir! Is that so?" replied the farmer with a disappointed look. "I thought Wilson had been president for a long time and was the cause of our toabcco not selling." At the Telephone. * An amusing telephone story is told of a lady whose name is Brown, says the Louisville Post. One morning recently she proceeded from the breakfast table to the telephone in the hall to order some things from the butcher. "Halloa!" said Mrs. Brown. 'Is that Mr. Batty's?" N "Yes." "Well, this is Mrs. Brown's residence Will you send me a large, thick steak oy -i o ciock r The boy in the butcher's sllop happened to answer the telephone and promptly responded: "Well, you just bet your sweet life I will." [ "Do you know, sir, to whom you are speaking?" indignantly inquired Mrs. Brown. "Sure I do," said the oy. "You're Jenny, Mrs. Brown's cook." "You are mistaken young man. You are speaking with Mrs. Brown herself.' "Is that so?" replied the boy. "Then in that rasp, madam, we'll call the bet off." to Aiken, S. C., on Acconnt of the State IT. C.
