I ?t*r*Ul mi Jtos Watered at the Postoffict * *T^-.vinsrry, S. C., as 2^xi class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, May 2, 1913. GEO. S. MOWER FOE ASSOCIATE JUSTICE. If the legislature wants to do the proper thing it should elevate Hon. Geo. S. Mower to the supreme bench to take the place of Associate Justice Woods. Mr. Mower has had large ex 1 ? o r? Via alsn fa perience as a iaw;a auU ^ ~? ? miliar with the legislative department of the State government. His is a judicial mind. He is well educated and would add strength and force to the appellate court of the State. He is a gentleman of fine Christian character as well as a nne lawyer, a.juu the ivcommendation for any man is that he is a gentler an. > Just to think, poor Ed. DeCamp is to be sued for $25,000 damages. And he wore a red and blue sock to the ioc!+ Pr?c ijssnniation. because he was XC40L- X A WW 9 not able to buy another pair.?Westminster Tribune. We are afraid he "will be there this time with none on at all.?Grenville Piedmont. And just to think we will not be able now to get that Stetson hat and pair of shoes Ed owes us. We may be forced now to go bareheaded and shoeless to the press meeting, for we were -expecting our hat and shoes to wear c?n that occasion, and our predicament will be worse than sockless. The city council yesterday was told by Mayor Johnson that in his judgment it was time to be giving thought to the matter of providing the city -wjth parks and he suggested that at an early date it would be well for council to create a park commission. In this Mayor Johnson is taking, the lead in a most important matter that is becoming more and more a necessity in Spartanburg. In this we should have an eye single to the future city and build for the future with the idea of a series of parks about the city.? Spartanburg Herald. The matter of parks is something that should have the serious and careful consideration of every town, small or large. Columbia sold a beautiful park a dozen years %go for a railroad depot and the town is now considering the park question. It will take a couDle generations to replace the trees destroyed in a couple days. Newberry has an opportunity yet to secure a desirable park at a minimum of cost and if we do not those who are to follow us will rightly .say that we failed in our duty. The Herald and News has talked a park so much and, with no results, that we approach the subject with diffidence. It is so important, however, that we feel it our duty to keep it constantly before our people. Maybe after awhile they will awake from their Rip Van Winkle sleep and do something. If som-e of the women organizations would take hold of the park question, and make it the maMi purpose of their activities, it would be only a question of a very short time until the park would be a reality. If on the contrary, they divide their energies on all sorts ' of things nothing lasting or beneficial will result. It seems to us that if there is one public enterprise that should appeal to the good women of the community, it should be a first class and well kept park. It would foe a great legacy to leave to their children. Use the split log drag on your road. A good time is any time. How about some <ine getting busy and doing something to get in toucn with the interurban. The road should toe extended from Greenwood to Columbia and it should come by Newberry, but if we expect to get it we must be up and doing, because things don't just happen in this day. and if we wait for soviet1" :ng to turn up we nay <- onfi: j to wait to th^ :-n'* of time. A $100,000 high school building will be erected in Macon this summer.

It was an apostrophe to marbles. It carried me back to the days long ago when I used to play the game under the big iiickory trees in the spacious school grounds of the old country school house until the nails of my thumb were worn to the quick. We carried our dinner to school in tin buckets in tiiose aays. Ana scuuoi an ua^. i We bad an hour for noon. We carried molasses in a bottle and many a time made boles in th-e biscuits and filled the holes with the molasses. We also had ham and chicken and plenty good things to eat. At the noon hour we shot marbles. And we enjoyed life if we didn't have much money. And j when I used to shoot marbles with the : pickaninnies on the old plantation at ! the dinner hour. I didn't think ftie editor of The Herald was old enough to know anything of this great sport of the boys away back yonder in the good old days. I was an expert at marbles in those days. I could hit the middle man almost every shot and frequently won the game. I wonder if this editor ever gathered chinquepins and played "chuckle luck, handful, how many," and if he was good at that game also. ~ iiafo crr,t ohnvv> all these x iic uuj*a v ev" ? things now. This age is too fast for marbles and chuckle luck. Nick? is and dimes don't count. It takes dollars and base ball and foot ball and all that sort. I am going to ask that j this apostrophe to marbles be printed | in mv column. | Marbles. Where are they gone ? When ye editor was a kid, only a short time ago ?comparatively, the coming of warm weather, when the fingers would not be too stiff for expert shooting of marbles, we always got out our stock of marbles along vith the rest of the K/we anH tnnk tn drawins: rings on UVJO -WW? -v w carefully chosen smooth ground, wherein we would "play the game" by the hour." There was playing for keeps now and then, cautiously, for fear of parental confiscation as penalty. Everybody got a pocket full of marbles and everybody got in the game. For a few weeks, during the "season," the only boyish ambition was to develop a skill superior to that of all comers. But alas! We see them no more. We fear that simple, inexpensive taste has vanished, along with the taste | Tor barefooted freedom of feet and ! nrhpr aceomDaniments of an unexact ing boyhood. Marbles cost only a | nickel or a dime ,* hence, they are be-! neath notice these days. Where dimes j were as joyously and thankfully received as compensation for hoeing] the strawberries or weeding the cabbages in our day, now it must be dollars for the mere asking. A change has come e ver the dreams of ycuth. The old recreations that cost little in cash but demanded r9ugh and ready skill, active muscles, and keen eyes, all the same are fading into the horizon of the past. The new recreations must nave as tneir instruments ever more expensive paraphernalia. And is the boy of today happier than was his father as the boy of yesterday? Not a whit! I also read from tne same paper, i think, the following: Seven Feet of Earth. So long as men are men they will never oease to feel deeply the profound antithesis between what a mortal man is, while yet the spirit moves his body to his wiU a ad what that body is after the spirit iias left it. Shakespeare puts this, feeling into immortal words when he made Pri^op Henry say mournfully as he stood over the body of Harry Hotspur, slain by his own hand at the battle of Shrewsbury: "Fare thee well, great heart? Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk! *"* a a 1 -3?? J in o wnen mat mis uouy um v;uuio?u spirit; A kingdom for it was too small a bound; But now two paces of the vilest earth Is room enough!" So it is today with John Pierpont Morgan, late king of our financial world. Yesterday his power w*s respected throughout the civilized -world, j Literally kings were glad to listen to : ( his words. Today seven feet of earth, - covered ^.T?tl ro "s room enough! | Seven feet of earth. That is all the boys can get net 2\c ). though they accuiiiuluio ..lL.'.on.& a~d Millions. That is all the boys got vviio played marbles. And the boys with the marbles had more 1 T ... c of life than the ) ..oy-z wh-. _ ... .. o .xodein I ' hark back to the good old days when life meant something more than the j accumulation of money. When friendship meant something more than a j moTva n^mo Wh?n n man's word was I his bond. Soon all any of us will have will be seven feet of earth. It may ?be covered with roses but soon they will fade and it won't be long before there will be no one to cover the mound even with roses But if you drop a kind word or do a kind deed it will make a ripple that will circle on and on to :he eternal shore. I want to read you a few lines from a beautiful poem I read once: i "Drop an unkind word, or careless, in a minute you forget, But there's half a hundred ripples, circling on, and on, and on, They keep spreading, spreading,: spreading from the centre as j they go, go, And there ain't no way to stop them, once you started them to flow. Drop an unkind word or careless, in a minute you forget, But there's little waves a-flowing and there's ripples circling yet, | i And perhaps in some sad heart, a mighty wave of tears you've stirred, And disturbed a life that's happy, when you dropped that unkind word. | Drop a word of cheer and kindness, j just a flash and it is gone, But there's half a hundred ripples, cir-j cling on, and on, and on, ' < Bearing hope and joy and comfort on 1 each splashing, dashing wave, Till you wouldn't believe the volume of the on:- kind word you gave. . j Drop a word of cheer and kindness, in a minute you forget, - mi But there's giaaness sun a-swwuug and there's joy a-circling yet, And you've rolled a "wave of comfort,1 whose sweet music can be heard I Over miles and miles of water, just by j dropping a kind word." Ah, what a beautiful world this would be if every one would drop a kind word now and then when he is tempted to drop an unkind word. It costs so little. It is worth so much. Much more than your millions. The Idler. THIRD REGIMENT ENCAMPMENT. Moyement to Hold It At Aiken I! City Wants It. Aiken, April 29.?There has just begun a movf ment to have the 3rd re-: giment, N. G. S. C., hold its annual en-J campment headquarters in Aik-en this summer?some time in July is the! indefinite date. Military experts of i I I the United States army and of the j ! State militia have ^declared that the j Tffiysifcal conditions in and around j Aiken afford advantages for manoeu-i vering not to be found any place else in the State, and it has been talked ; for some time that the officers of the1 3rd regiment are exceedingly anxious to bring their troops here this sum-! mer. As a matter of fact, it has been! I stated that some time ago several of j the officers who reside in Charleston approached Mayor Herbert E. Gylesj ; about the matter. i i The military will come to Aiken ifj i the invhation is extended, it seems, ! and all the city has. to do is to raise &-r\r\ 4.^ tomnnrarv ?hflTlt.ieS. OUt | fOVU IU CICV/t IJ 7 _ houses, etc., and to infjtall electric connections at the proposed camp ! grounds. The mayor has ventured the assertion that if the citizens will raise 50 per cenc., or $250, of this, the aldermanic board will supplement it with the additional $250, making up the total of the necessary $500. This is 1 /n n n/1 if 1 considered a mere oagaieuc, CLUU. iU j is expected that the whole sum will be raised in a comparatively short time, and that the matter will be definitely decided this week. TUBERCULOSIS VACCINE. I ? - ! i Dr. Frledmann Sigms Up For Disposition Through Institutes. i New York, April 28.?It was announced tonight at the apartments of - J.-U - J. V _ I : Dr. Friedrich F. Fneamann uiai ue had signed a contract for the disposition of his tuberculosis vaccine by , a company through institutes to be i established in every State. The contract, it is said, provides for the free treatment of the poor in all localities. SLAYEE'S IDENTITY UNKNOWN. ! i Atlanta Police Still Looking for Person who Silled Mary Phagan. Atlanta, Ga., April 29.?Efforts of the , police to establish the identity of the I person or persons who killed fifte-m-, I year-old Mary Phagan and placed her I I body in the basement of the National Pencil company's factory here, where I it was discovered early ouuuu* u: ing. have so far been futile, and tonight the case is as much of a mys- ; t-ery as ever. Three events of interest in connec- 1 tion with the case occurred thig after nnnrt TTirct pumo the nrrpst nf TjPn: M. Frank, superintendent of the Pen- j cil Company, on a blanket charge of supicion. Frank is allowed the freedom of the police station, having employed a policeman as special guard. The second development of the afternoon was the finding of a bloodstained shirt at the home of the negro Newi Lee night watchman, who reported the discovery of the girl's body to ibe po^ce. It is said that Lee ad- j mitted owning the garment, but claim- s ed not to have seen it fo? more than a year. The police cont.nl Mat th;i blood stains are comparatively fresh. In support of the tneory tnat tne negro carried the body into the casement, detectives point out tha* the stains are on the back of the shirt. : Equally worthy of note -was the transfer late this afternoor < . a writ: of habeas corpus of J. M. Gant, the bookkeeper, charged wi'.'i th-? murder to the custody of the sheriff, and his removal to the county jiil. It was alleged by Gant's lawyer that his client was being subjected to annoying and harassing -examination at the police station, from which would be relieved if under charge c:' liu ?>oriff. Handwriting experts who made mi-: croscopic examination nf the notes found near the murdered girl'-? body, and samples of writing by the negro, Lee, this afternoon expressed their conviction that the watchman is the author of the incoherent missives. What bearing this may have upon the case the police have not disclosed. Detectives are saii tonight to be working upon a possible clue furnished by the discovery of finger prints upon i the sleeve of the dress worn by Miss j Phagan when she was killed. It is, stated that these prints are clearly; outlined and may prove of importance ! in -estabHshing the identity of the mur-1 derer. I Chief cf Detectives Lanford said to-! night that it was improbable that more arrests would be made until after the evidence has been taken at the coroner's iaqa#;st, set for 9 o'clock tomorrow^ morning. Life saving has been added as a reg- . ular part of the course in swimming : at Columbia university. Hereafter j students will have to show proficiency in rescuing persons from drowning before receiving a certificate from the j department. Not only will dummies be used for practice, but live persons will feign drowning for the benefit of the young rescuers. MEMORIAL DAT PROGRAM.
