s#? pftrs Entered at the Postoffice nt VT<nv*r*ry, S. C., as 2"d class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, May 23, 1913. What an irony it would be on the use of the pardoning power if it really j turned out that "Portland Ned" is1 the perpetrator of the latest series of safe robberies!?Columbia Record. It is very hard for a man to reform. The only suspicion that exists for connecting "Portland Ned*' with these robberies is that he has been convict- j ed and was paroled. The policy of the law has been reversed. Every man is presumed guilty and must prove his innocencc. "Portland Ned" may be guilty but surely we should be willing to give "Him J fhanrp. We susDect it is the | governor these newspapers are after rather than "Portland Ned." Want to prove what a mistake the governor made. ? The Herald and News says that j Newberry needs thirty thousand en- j ergetic, hustling citizens. The trou- J ble is, is Newberry the place these kind of people want to go to??Greenwood Journal. The Herald and News did not say that Newberry needed thirty thous- j and citizens though it would be a j mighty good place for them. What The Harald and News undertook to say was, that it would be glad to see the citizens who now live here get busy and work together'for the advancement of the community. As to the question by the Journal, there is no better place for people to. come than Newberry, and if we could get the Journal man to come > down and spend a day or two with us, we are Satisfied that be would wonder why he had not tried to become a citizen of Newberry himself, j* The trustees of the Newberry school district, by authority of an act of last general assembly, order an election on the question of voting a one mill tax for the improvement of the Boundary street school building. tl is true that it has only been a very short time since the people of this district were called upon to vote additional tax for the purpose of enlarging the school facilities of the district, but that money has been expended in purchasing new buildings. The heating plant and the sewerage plant of the Boundary street school is such that it is absolutely necessary that the improvements contemplated be made. If anyone doubts this, all that is necessary, is tor him to make a visit to the Boundary street school ahd see the conditions there. In | fact, if the board ot health would do its duty, it seems to us that it would he forced to condemn the Boundary street school unless the improvements contemplated by the board are made. It will not be necessary to have this tax for more than two or three years in order to make the improvements that are needed. We hope that the people of the district will vote the tax, and certainly, anyone before he opposes it should visit the Boundary street school and see for himself the conditions as they are.

Of course, every one is proud of it. You see, I have been permitted to see the thing develop from a little eld wooden building, with a hole in the wall for you to receive the mail, to the present handsome structure. That old woden building stood where is now fraternity hall, and that was way back during the war wnen soi ivin- j ard was postmaster. t And, by George, that is a fine looking street in front of the new postoffice building. That magnificent ditch to one side, and the mound of stone on the other, and then the sand spreading out like a great valley along the street that leads alongside the Methodist lot, all give the surroundings such a rustic appearance. I can scarcely understand how such a fine suggestion of rusticity could have been conceived. And then, the little rises and falls in the street'up towards the Summer garage give the { street such a Deautirui insinuation or the ruggedness of the hills of Western North Carolina, that one almost feels that he is in this most beautiful and picturesque section of America as he glides along the street or the fViof ouTTiMin^ fVin now nnct oiut/ >v ct^rv. tixav oux x vuuu hav ?? ^/vwv office building. And th-en, too, let me tell you that street that leads from the new home of Mayor Wright and by the postoffice and the new court house, is not to be despised when it I comes to ruggedness and suggestions j of mountain scenes, for it has the ditches and the insinuation of hills and valleys and running streams and rippling brooks, all suggestive of the beautiful wild scenery of the moun tains. Ah, we are getting back to nature. Let us all take up nature study agate. There is plenty of opportunity right here in the city of Newberry. All varieties of weeds and grasses and '*?ild flowers may be seen on all sides just by strolling around a little. That reminds me that those goats I suggested some time ago might do good and efficient service before commencement comes again. I have not seen any street rorce at worn m a long time, and I presume that the idea is to let the flowers and the grass and the other wild vegetation and wild animals grow so as to give better opportunity for nature study. I think I read in one of the papers where a teacher in the rural schools had<a nature study class, and that she had been gathering up tacpoles and watching them develop into frogs. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could find s *e tadpoles in one or the other forks of Scott's creek. o? Talking about nature study, I read the following in a Spartanburg paper . the other day: Here is the way a man who loves children and the great open country expresses it:. "I had rather leave behind me, when I leave this world, a beautrul park in the heart of a cily in which the little children, for all time to come, could romp and play than have any monument that could be built of marble or stone." I have tried for several years to tell the people of Newberry that same tiling. Since I began tne agnation or a park the little towns of Spartaniburg and Greenville and Columbia have been talking about a park. Newberry has a fine opportunity to build a park, and the opportunity is still knocking at her door. It would take very little money comparatively. United effort is all we need. I wish I could make the civic association see the importance of it and the ease wr:h which it could be attained if they would only determine to do it. That is the important thing in any move ment?determine to do it?and it is 1 berry D hen accomoanie da Airdome." 1 done. Speech making and hot air won't buiid it. But what's the use, we are satisfied with our noble selves. The Idler. THE PACIFIC ESTERS PANAMA. i Glint Blast of Dynamite Lets Waters Into CanaL Panama, May 18.?The waters of the Pacific ocean were today let :lnto the Panama Carnal. A giant blast, composed of 32,750 pounds of dynamite, was shot, demolishing the dike to the south of the Miraflores locks, and allowing the water to flow* into an extensive section in which excavations have practicklly been complet ed. I The blast was successful in every way, and the vibration was felt in Panama City as though there had been a slight earthquake. EDGEFIELD COOTY MAN KILLED. Price Ripley May Fare Been Shot in Scuffle with Woman fojr Gun. Edgefield, May iy.?According 10 reports received here today, Price Ripley, a white man, was shot and i instantly killed near Trenton yester-; day afternoon. It is claimed the tra- j gedy was due to the accidental dis- \ charge of a shotgun in the hands of j Miss Bessie Davis. There was no eye-! witness to the shooting. Miss Davis,' it is said, has been hiding out since ( the tragedy. Price RiDlev lived in the oJhnston i section of the county, while the woman | claimed Edgefield as her home, hav- j ing recently worked "in the cotton mill i here. An inquest was held'this morning, and from the meagre testimony obtainable it seems that the parti-es were in a house together and became involved in a quarrel, and that one of them seized a gun nearby, and in a scuffle for its possession it was dis- j charged, the entire load taking ef- 1 feet in the breast of the deceased. The* jury held Mfcci Davis as bein? responsible for Ripley's death, and Sheriff Swearipgen went this morning to arrest her, but she escaped him .It is the general belief that as soon as States with a contribution of $8,225. will sur-entJ.er v* 'ntaril. BAPTIST WOMEN RAISE $84,877. m - Alabama Leads in Judson Mission Offering with $8,225. St. Louis, May 18.?The raising of $24,877 for the Judson mission of-1 fering was the climax of the day's proceedings of the Southern Baptist convention. The money was raised by the Woman's Missionary Union at I a mass meeting at which only women | were present. Alabama led all the States with a contribution of 8,225. During the services a large number of young women dressed in the costumes of all the foreign countries in which the Southern Baptists have mis sionaries marched into me auanormm singing Gospel songs and bearing the flags of the nations represented. More than 400 sermons were preached by visiting Baptists in the various churches of St. Louis during the day. President E. C. Dargan, of Macon, Ga., preached the sermon before the Woman's Missionary Union at the iligiil IUCCHUJ,. (Mrs. Julian P. Thomas, of Richmond, Va., said concerning the missionaryfunds raised that the Union soon would be able to raise a million dollars a year for missions. The Union during the !ast year raised one-third of the total amount of money for missionary purposes reported to the convention from all sources. Barbecne Notice.
