The mayor of Columbia, we see,
wants to impeach Gov. Blease. If our
memory is not at fault some of the
Columbia people about twenty years
ago wanted to do something like that
to Gov. Tillman. Observe the result?
Gov. Blease and Gen. Teague have
borrowed the money through the Carolina:
National bank of Columbia to
pay the railroad fare of all the Veterans
who will attend the Gettysburg
reunion. Of course, the legis
lature at its next session win pruwuc
to pay the loan.
There have been so many fine opportunities
to exemplify the value of
the split log drag in road work that
it seenis almost a crime that it has
not been more generally used in this
county. There are many roads where
it would be a great help to the roads
and would cost very little.

I was just thinking the other day
about those goats for 'street cleaning
purposes, inasmuch as the weeds
, \ ,
-VA ? r>
and grass are coming on, ayaw m
many places in the town, when I read
I where Mr. Rockefeller had purchased
four hundred Southdown sheep as
lawn mowers, and had actually figured
it out that they w*ere cheaper
than his motor mower, and, you know,
he is a close figurer and a good money
maker. So you see that my suggestion
some time ago as to goats was
a good business ^reposition, but the
1 trouble is here that you can't make
these people see a good ousmess proposition
wh^n it is put right up to
them, if it concern? public improvements
and public utilities. But, now
honest, wouldn't four hundred Southdown
lambs make a beautiful picture
mowing the streets and lawns of the
city of Newberry, and then we would
have a clean city besides. And then
it \vould have a pastoral appearance
to see these beautiful sheep going
up and down the city under the guidance
of a good shepherd, and it would
carry us back to the good old days
when the sheph-erds tended their
flocks by day and by night and
roamed the hills in all the beautiful
simplicity of the simple life.
?O?
Dear The Idler: I notice the Observer
is saying something about the
worthless dogs that are permitted to
loaf the streets without being muzzled.
I think you have said something
about that and I know The Herald
and News has time and again. A
prominent citizen told me the other
day that the police told him that they
had instructions not to pester the dog
without a muzzle if he had been arrested
once and fined. I am pretty
sure there are somp that have never
even been fined and they roam around
as if the town belonged to them. I
think this gentleman must have mis
understood the .police, but that is
what he understood. It sorter reminds
one of what they used to say
about the blind tigers reported to be
in Charleston. They don't care to
abolish them or to muzzl-e the dogs or
to keep the dogs off the street but
use the law as a sort of license system
t hnnp no one will have to say
!t is too late now.
One Interested.
?o?
Well, I tell you, I have talked about
the dog license law and the automobile
law and the motorcycle law so
much and so often that I am tired
and I thought the best thing I could
do was to sit still, and try to keep
out of the way of the dogs, and try to
*-*- ^ 1 ^ ^ TV-4 A + /\r?ATT_
dodge tne auiomouncs auu mviuiwcles,
and let the thing roll. And then,
there will be some fool feller right
'here in Newberry, South Carolina, the
first thing you know, ready to say that
I am a kicker, and that would wound
my feelings almost beyond recall. I
, would regret to see some poor little
innocent child bitten by a worthless
dog, or run over by some automobile
or motorcycle, but I feel that I have
said as much about these things as
I should. Of course, if some accident
would happen then there would be a
great gathering of the officials and
the people and we would pass some
more laws and enforce them for a few
days and then forget. You are all
young enough to remember how a
only a few years ago when a big bull
| dog bit up a little child every oik- |
n-oe en enrrv onrl tVlP f'itv naSSPfl a
" ?C ov CVi * J ) UiiU v.. w w.-fcT x ,
I
! dog muzzling ordinance and it was
rigidly enforced. And* then we for-;
I got. Oh, how soon we forget. I hope
it will not be necessary for a great
sorrow like that to come to some ;
Newberry home to arouse the people, j
It may be your home. Who +ell.1
?o?
Talking about dogs reminds me that
there is need of enforcing more rigidly
the laws regulating the running
of automobiles and motorcycles. It |
is a great pity that it is necessary to
have to regulate these things by law,
but it seems that it is. So many people
do not think of the other fellow,
or if they do they think he has no
rights at all. I often wonder there
have not been some serious accidents
the way some of these cars and cy
cles run across these narrow street
crossings and make no signal as they
approach. Then you never know
whether the car or cycle vot: are approac
~.ing is going to take to the right
or the left. I am not knocking or
kicking but only trying to offer the
ounce of prevention. It might, if
taken, save several pounds of cure.
?o?
What a beautiful world this would
be, if each of us would think even
occasionally of the rights of the other
fellow and ''then have some regard
for those rights without having to
-r
be made to do so oy me xasn cu sonie
law made by man.

NEWS AM) COTTIER'S TOURISTS.
Winners in Recent Contest Sail for
Europe July 1.?Sail for >~e\v
York on Lenape.
News and Courier, 24tfi.
The News and Courier' Party will
sail from Charleston via Clyde
'Steamship Line Thursday morning,
the 26th, aboard the new steamer
Lenape, the queen of the Clyde fleet.
The party will arrive in New York
citv on the morning of the 28th. Af
ter spending two days in the great
metropolis of the United States, during
which time they will be guests at
the Hotel Woodward, one of the most
noted hostelries in Gotham, and whose j
proprietor is a South Carolinian, the
tourists will leave, for Boston on the
night of the 30th. After a pleasant
day in quaint old Boston town, which
is second only to Charleston, S. C.,
in point of historic interest, the
party will sail for Europe aboard the
Arabic, one of tne Tasiesi ana inosi
modern steamers afloat, and one of
the best of the White Star Line.
Itinerary and Personnel of Party.
The itinerary calL or twenty-five
days in Europe. The trip will include 1
the following cities: Liverpool, Leamington,
motorboat trip through
Shakespeare country, London, The
Hague, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels,
Collogne, steamer up the Rhine,
Biebrich, Wiesbaden, Strassburg,
Paris, Havre and many others.
Returning The News and Courier
party will sail on the magnificant new
steamship Rochambtau, of the French
Line, arriving in New York city about
August 10. The tourists will return
to Charleston on one of the Clyde
Line's palatial steamers.
The following will compose the party:
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Ravenel,
Charleston; Miss Marion Salley, Orangeburg;
Mrs. ?M. G. Salley, Orangeburg;
Miss Anna E. Moss, Orangeburg,
Miss Lean B. Naohman, Lake City;
Miss Eva Goggans, Newberry, and
Miss Susie O'Rourke, Charleston.
It will be noted that some changes
have taken place in the list on account
of the inability of some of the
winners to take advantage of the
trip.
Chaperon pnd Conductor.
Miss Marion Salley, of Orangeburg,
having be?n successful in winning the
double tour, had the honor of naming
the chaperon for the trip. Mrs, M.
G. Salley, one of Orangeburg's most
popular and cultured women, was
chosen to chaperon the party. Mrs.
"" -'l1 ? f Ar? V*/\v? ri U O 1 1 f 1 A C
j saney is wen kuuhu j.v/i hci
| as hostess and entertainer, and it is
certain thai; The News and Courier's
tourists could not have been placed in
the hands of a more charming lady,
and one who would do more to look
to the pleasure of the company.
Mr. Daniel Ravenel, the popular
steamship agent of Charleston, will
conduct the tour personally. Of j
course, this gives an added interest to j
the trip. The winners in the contest
were delighted when they learned that
he was to he conductor of the tour.
Mr. Ravenel has been abroad several
times and is thoroughly qualified for '
tihe office of conducting such a magnificent
tour as The News and Courier
proposes to give. The details of the
trip have been carefully arranged, andj
it is safe to say that Mr. Ravenel has
not overlooked anything that could
possibly add to the tourists' pleasure.
Aboard the Lenape.
The Xews and Courier's. touring
party will board the Clyde Line
Steamer Lenape on the morning of
fho shortly before noon, bound
for Gotham. State rooms have b en
secured, and iMr. W. H. Grant, the
genial steward of the Queen of the
fleet, will be instructed to look well
to the entertainment of the party.
In Little Old >ew York.
New York, in many respects, the
greatest city on earth, has been dubfbed
humorously "Little Old New
York." But there is nothing little
shout the great metropolis, and every
thing is most up-to-date, especially
the Hotel Woodward, where the members
of The News and Courier's party
will be gu-ests. T. D. Green, the
proprietor, is a former South Carolinian,
and if there is anything he
likes better than living in "Little Old
New York," it is meeting^ friends
from his home State. Mr. Green was
born in Columbia, S. C., and started
in the hotel business at Asheville,
with Ed. McKissick, who was once
connected with The News and Courier.
The tourists will be warmly welcomed
by Mr. Green.

Enerland and Shakespeare.
(All the way from Boston till the
tourists get back in New York on August
10, there is historic interest as
w-ell as current interest in the proposed
trip.
The journey to London is full of interest
from the moment the special
train leaves* the liner's side until it
reaches the metropolis. The passage
through the vast network of lines
uniting every part of the docks is a
splendid object lesson.
Through Shakespeare Country.
From Leamington-to Stratford-onAvon
by road, is a delightful drive of
afoout twelve miics through a section
of old England noted for its rural
scenic beauty.
Stratford-Avon is a perfect, model
of an English town; it has an ancient
and noteworthy (history dating from
the Saxon era, and obtained a charter
of incorporation from Edward VI. It
was the site of a monastery, and fairs
and 'markets were held there. But it is
not for these ihings that StratfordAvon
has become noted in the world's
history; it is because within its boundaries
William Shakespeare was born
and died. The house in which the immortal
bard first saw the light of day
is a beautiful old half-timbered building
in Henl-ey street, and has, of
course, undergone many changes
since that time. Fortunately the house
was bought by a committee of gentle
men, and is now under the control
of t'le trustees o: the "Shakespeare
Fund," so that it will remain for all
future generations of sightseers to
visit.
The museum contains an interesting
collection of books, manuscripts,
paintings and other objects illustrating
the life and writing of Shakespeare.
The grammar school where the
poet's early days were spent was
founded in the reign of Edward IV,
and received a charter from the king.
Trinity Church, a large and handsome
cruciform structure, Is beautifully
situated on the banks of the Avon.
On the north side of the chancel is
the poet's grave.

While there are many places of vast
interest to be visited by The News
and Courier's party on the European
trip, there is none that will be of more
absorbing interest than The Hague.
The interest ia this hallowed home of
peace is all the more enhanced Just
now because of the world-wide movement
of peace.
THE EDITOJK'S JOS.
A Sinecure that Everybody Knows
He Can Fill Better.
Once on a time a nice little girl
whose uncle was editor of a newspaper
asked him, "Uncle, when do you
work? I never see you doing anything
except reading or writing!"
The nice little girl had the idea that
most people have that an editor's is
the softest job in the world?"nothing

DEFECT I> THE LAW.
Attorneys for Purehaserg of Coimty
Bonds Find Defect in Law?Attorney
Mower to Sell Them.
The Herald and News did not print
in its last issue anything about the
bonds of the county which are being
offered for sale. We thought probably
for the present, it would be best not
to mention ft. IWe
understand that the attorneys
[
for the people who purchased the
bonds found a def-ct in th - statute
providing for their issue and for that :
reason declined to take their. Just
what the defect is, we do not know, j
Hon. Geo. S. Mower has gone east i
and will take the matter up in per-1
son and may be able to convince them
that the defect is not material, if de- r
~ x ?-1 ill i I

great disappointment to a great many
people who have claims against "the

longer for their money.

D. C., June 21, 1913.
Editor of The Journal:
I did not think it nec-sssary to say j
i anything publicly when the first no- i
tice appeared in The Journal several
days ago regarding the possibility'
' of my becoming a candidate for mayor
of our city;, but since I see some1
of my friends are still speaking of it, 1
I ougtht to say that I am very much i
concerned about making good may-!
'ors, but am not at all inclined myself!
! to try to make a good mayor, or any
J other kind of a mayor. The only un!
certainty I feel regarding the coming
race for that position is whiph of!
several excellent men I ought to cast:
my vote for. I regard the position!
* oiWIifv I
as one 01 very mgn icajjuuoiui.iVl
deserving and demanding the very
'best that Spartanburg has, both in
character and ability, it has long;
' been the case that the mayoralty in !
our great cities surpasses in import
ance anv other political positions ex-j
c^pt the very highest in the land, and ,!
' the time has arrived in several of
our leading cities in South Carolina
when the chief executive of the mu1
icipality is hardly exceeded in imi
j.
portance in much that makes for th best
or worst interests of the community
by any official, Stat- or national,
selected in the commonwealth.
It may seem inconsistent for me
to preach <jhe obligation of citizens to
give time to the public service and
the honor of this -employment, and in
the same breath decline to come into
the running; but it is not. In the first
place, I couldn't; in the second, my
work is of a kind that would be almost
entirely interrupted by such
employment, and in the third place,
there exists no lack of good and true
men who will give their services to
the public at the present critical time
of our city's history.
Tn pnnrlnsion let me eav that I only
hope that I may live to deserve the
very kind expressions which my
friends have used regarding me.
Very respectfully,
D. D. Wallace.
Mrs. Malinda Eargle.
Lexington, June 23.?Mrs. Malinda
Earsle. widow of the late Joseph
Eargle, and one of the most widely
known and highly esteemed women of
this county, died at roon today at her
home, near Hilton. Mrs. Eargle was
stricken last Thursday with intestinal
paralysis. The deceased was about 70
years of age, and in spite of the best
of medical skill she never rallied,
v Mrs. Eargle is survived by two
daughters. Mrs. Thad D. Derrick and
Miss Allie Eargle, both of Hilton; one
brother, J. E. CaLhoun Shealy, of
Chapin; seven sisters, Mrs. Louisiana
Long, of near Lexington, Mrs. Austin
Wessinger of Hilton, Mrs. George
Wessinger of Chapin, Mrs. F. Pierce
Shealy of Leesville, Mrs. Elizabeth L.
Shealy of Summit and Misses Clara
and Lorena Shealy of Chrpin.
The deceased was a member of the
Lutheran church and ^as knov;n far
and near, for her many estimable
traits of character, and her friends
were legion.
The funeral will be held from her
late ho'me tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock', the Rev. J. C. Wessinger performing
the. last sad rites, and the interment
will follow in the family plot
nearby.
It may be that some of those contributing
to the States' Gettysburg
fund as "descendant," etc., are from
Newberry. At any rate it was a good
thing and was well done.
