Tuesday, June 10, 1913. l - - a The Herald and News acknowledges ?1 -- -?. ~ ond nnmhpr one. receipt 01 vumuuc ? ?, June 1913, of the Skyland magazine, published at Hendersonville, N. C., i edited by Miss Mae Lucile Smith, i The magazine is tastefully gotten | out and contains a number of inter- j esting end strong articles on subjects pertaining to, this section of the coun try. The pric e is one dollar per year j or ten ceLts a number. It is publish- j ed monthly, at Hendersonville, N. C. | It will be interesting to some of the ! citizens of Newberry from the fact i that the editor, Miss Smith, was a i resident of this town for several j months only a few years ago, and 1 made a number of friends during her | sojourn in our midst. The Herald ^ and News wishes for the magazine | abundant success. Wo have observed from certain correspondence in the News and Courier that the editor of ..the State does not seem to have the opinion of the mayor i - * - ^? J I of Charleston that it appeared ne nau \ about a year ago when the mayor was 1 attacking the governor of South Carolina in language that was scarcely printable in a respectable newspaper,; the State newspaper carrying it in | "big headlines and rolling the billings- j gates of -the mayor as a sweet morsel j under its tongue. The attack of the mayor of Char- j leston upon the editor of the State, I in our judgment, is unjust to the ed- J tor of the State, but it is^ intersting 1 to observe some matters which emanate from the head of the municipali-, ^Viovloctnn. * ! We understand that the daily pa- { pers are carrying a story from Co- : lumbia to the effect that the regents ' of the State Hospital for the Insane i are considering passing a resolution requesting the resignation of Superi intendent Babcock. We were in Columbia a few days t ago and heard nothing of this story. /' About January the reg-ents passed a resolution fixing the terms of the employees of the State Hospital for the ' ~ J "f fhom fh?af msan-9 ana notiijrmg an ui ?.uvi^ elections would be held for their places on July 1, but of course, this did not include the superintendent, be-. cause he is 'Appointed by the gover- ! nor. As we understood the action of ! the regents at the time, it was for. - * ?I?? +Vin tarmo nf nf_ i tne purpose oi iiAiug iuc ?.ci | fice of the employees rather than i meant as aimed at any one man, and at that time, there "was no intimatior that the regents would request the resignation of Dr. Babcock. We do not know what the attitude of th-e governor is in the matter, hut we are sure it would be a mistake i for him to make a change in. the superintendent at the asylum. Dr. Babcock has had long experience in the work and is greatly interested in it, and stands today at the head amongst the superintendents of similar institutions in the United States, and is so recognized. We don't believe that a better or' more competent man could be found for the position and we can see 110 reason for a change. There may be reason for changes in some of the employees of the institution, we do not know about that. That is a matter in the hands of the management of the regents, and we understand from their action and adver! tisement that the election for employees will fee held on July 1. $><$ o& $ * ? <S> THE IDLEIL $ <8> ? $><$-<e><j><$><$><$><$><S><$>3><?><?><s><?<$><9> "Let Hercules himself do what he may The cat will mew and the dog will have his day." F Who is Hercules today may he the cat tomorrow. Who rides in a fine chariot today may tomorrow he driving a wheelbarrow. The whirligig of time brings wonderful changes and sometimes they come so fast that they almost take our breath away. He who rules it over us today is soon forgotten and like a last year's bird nest is | soon forsaken. Therefore, it does very little good for any of us to get puffed up with our own importance, for after all we are but a grain of dust. Yet there are some of us who do get awfully puffed up with a little brief authority. Tfcat, 110 aouDi, is due largely to our training, and not so much to our training either. You know, it takes about four generations to develop a gentleman, and he must i have the right sort of training. Most of us "have been trained to false ideas ?no, to perverted id-eas?lo a system of morality that's twisted to suit the demands of practical life. On Sundays we go to a magnificent church to hear an expensive preacher and choir, trn in pvnpnsivA dress and in car AJLl * ? riages, and we -never laugh at ourselves. Yet we are going in the name of One who was born in a stable and who said that we must give everything to the poor, and so on." And what could we do about all of it. It's the difference between theory and practice. And yet this game of success in life?active life?is a hardening process. "It's a cutthroat game. It isn't at all what the successful hypocrites describe in their talks to young men." The strong have always ruled Trrjii /lAntinno tr> dn it. And why aiiU ?HX WW shouldn't th-ey. But I started out to write* about something else. o? I received the following note some days ago, but have been coo busy thinking to answer it, ad then the weather has been too hot for much thinking, and it will requir-e an enormous amount of thinking and hard brain work to understand the meaning of some people: "Dear The Idler: "T am told on good authority that when it was mentioned in city .council meeting that something would have to be done with Friend street now that The Idler was after the council, that then the alderman from that ward stated that for this reason he was opposed to doing anything and would be until the newspapers shut up. Won't you please hold your peace and let us have this street fixe'd. It certainly needs it. I am interested in welfare work and would like to have your cooperation! Now, please give me your cooperation by your silence. I am, "Small One." Well, sir, when I got this letter I almost split my sides -laughing.

This alderman and the town council can do as they please, they aren't hurting me or spiteing me in the least. And then you know it really does one good to realize that we have in official position in the town of Newberry and amongst its leaders men of such broad vision, who can with one sweep of their mighty intellect tane in an me conditions and circumstances and possibilities of the grand old town, and do you imagine that I could for one moment withhold commendation for an expression which gave evidence of so noble a soul as that to which you refer. If you do, you have another imagine due right now. I am always going to try to De courteous auu polite and gentle and kind and parliamentary, but I am going on saying what I think Is best for the old town so long as I live and continue to write for the papers. I noticed the other day that the city had commenced paving from the Mowx AT. . _ ! -u nn1 i er garage up 10 uie imuuusiapu gallery. Of course this should be done (before the sidewalk and street from I the postoffice to the depot was worked on. It is much more important to get to the garage and to the place to have your photograph made than it is to get to the postofUce or to the depot, j I-t takes a broad and liberal^ spirit ,ard a broad vision to display such business acumen and foresight as this i in the handling of big public utility i problems, and those who are able to do it should have the unstinted comimendation of their fellow citizens and 'as one of the humblest of these fellow | citizens I beg to lay my uns-tinted j commendation at the feet of the noble j gentlemen who are doing this work, j Of course, this sidewalk will not be juseda s much as the one in Friend street, from the postoffice to the dej pot, and therefore, will last much longer. Is it necessary to mention i any other good and sufficient reason . I trow not. | After these good rains the "weeds | will flourish all the more and we "will need a new supply Qf goats.

Keeping Cfcickcns. Laudatory remarks about Black Orpingtons, Plymouth Rocks and other fancy breeds of fowls a few days ago reminded Congressman Henry Allen 'Cooper of a chicken dinner in Maryland. Tho Hirmpr fhp rnnoTPtssman Raid. was given by a colored man named Ebenezer White, and the guest of the evening was George Washington Green, chief deacon of the little church that White occasionally attended. Grace, of course, was eloquently said, and at its collusion White began to carve the chicken. Then Dea Icon Greer, became facetious. "Brudder White," he smilingly re! marked, "do dat n*\' do' neighbor ob yo'n keep chickens?" "Xo sah!" came the prompt response of White, as he deftly pried loose a \ well-roasted wing, "but he try hard j'nuff to keep him!"--Philadelphia Tel !egraph. Mother Kangaroo's Bravery. i During a severe drought in a certain section of Australia, the owner of a country station was sitting one evening on the porch when he saw a kangaroo lingering about, alternately approaching and retiring from the house, as if half in doubt and fear 'what to do. I At length she approached the water i pails, and, taking a young one from ;her pouch, held it to the water to ' drink. | While her baby was satisfying its ! thirst the mother was quivering all jover with apprehension, for she was : but a few feet from the porch where one of her foes was watching her. ! The babv having finished drinking, it was replaced in the pouch and the old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace. | The spectator was so much impressed by the astonishing bravery of the .'affectionate mother that he made a vow?and kept it?never again to ; shoot a kangaroo.
