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

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.

"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

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

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,

Well, sir, when I got this letter I

the summer. But to follow your advice,
Small One, nay, nay, Pauline. I
am not built that way. 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

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.

We have a fine town. We have a

too many of us who do not know all

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.

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

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.
