A Fe>v Words as to How It is t rfhe shortcomings of tais issue, if ** enough to be noticeable, must be attributab'e to the absence on press day?busy day?of the "combination man" of the office, the editor-worker. Pt is bad enough to have him one abi sent at such a time, but when it happens at the same time that another ; * very much missed man is away it is dmiblv bad?bad enough to change I The shortcomings to the longgoings 1 for the rest. It is indeed "doubly bad," and if the pap<?r escapes being "badly dubbed" before they get back j . it will be two or three wonders. It / happens at the same time that the editor is away at the seashore to * swap newspaper talk for the murmur} ing woisperings of the ocean in anm swering the question of "what are the wild waves saying," at the very ^ time, w-e repeat, it happens tnat another busy man is absent from the office, the same being in Abbeville at the firemens' tournament doing his successful part in capturing the big prizes for Newberry; which is good for him, good for the company, good for Xewberrv, but tough on the ones he left behind. It would not be so bad if the office had its old reliable, faithful stand-by to fall back on, in the person of Jno. K. A.?"old JohnKa"?the best and most perfect "allround" newspaper man that the all mighty ruler of the universe ever let draw the sweet breatih of life. For, b-eyond the shadow of a doubt, he is the swiftest and most competent that ever handled copy, it was born in him?he inherits it. There are expert type-writers, and nothing els-?. There are expert stenographers and ^ ~ nothing else. There are expert writ-^rs. and noticing else. Sometimes there are good stenographers and Jk type writers who can't spell correctly or use good English. Not so with the writer, stenographer and type-n'Titor nn^pr dismission. can reel off on his typewriting machine great rollc of copy from his perfect stenographic notes in a remarkably, an incrediblv limited space of time, and when the manuscript is placed before you it is perfect it its entirety except perhaps for an occasional un, dotted "i" or uncrossed "t". But all this has nothing to do with what the reporter started out to say. It is a digression, but a pleasant one. It' is said in the absence of the person discussed and without his knowl edge. What we started out to say is that the reporter wishes to take advantage of the absence of Editor Aull to pay him a little tribute; want to . say it behind his back, to s?y it when he is not 'expecting it, when he has s not the least idea.it is going to be said, or even that it is being thought of. It is just a tribute from one man io another whom he knows, and who ? deserves what is said good of him. of a man w-ho is misjudged by many and misunderstood by many and wh??e motives are sadly misconstrued * in many instances. The reporter has an irresistible impu1^ to fly to.the ^ sic!e of Col. An 11, who can defend himself and Is not dependent on this \ feeble defense. But when a roan knows another and knows how unjustly he is treated, it makes him feel like rising up and saying something. The reporter has worked for a long tim? with Col. Auil and he knows that the Southern School News I uttered a great truth recently, when it said fhat "The Newberry county sdhools have made steady progress under the strong supervision of Col. E. H. Aull. Unusual progress has foeen made in building school houses and equipping them and in refurnishing old houses. It is doubtful that any superintendent in .South Carolina has accomplished more in such a Rhnrt time Sunerintendent Aull is a man of affairs, and has had wide w experience in public life. He edits one of the best papers in the State" etc. This being so undeniable true, and the people acting as they did in the face of it, makes it so strange that it is unaccountable and even puzzling. How such a superintendent could have been defeated is hard to understand. Col. Aull is a busy man ?.nd a .hard worker, an untiring and a never-ceasing worker, every week, every day, every hour. No other one man can possibly do any more work Uo rho wnrlr of thr :e IllCL11 UL^? lie UVV^/O men and is constantly engaged with Lis many and arduous duties from morning until night. He could not, neither could any man, do the work ihe does, daily and regularly and not stick to it faithfully and painstakingly, without thought of rest or recreation. This is simply written in response to a feeling of wanting to "take up" for a fellowman. When the reporter sees the editor-manager rush into the office after a hurried business trip to Columbia or elsewhere and plunge immediately into a pile of accumulated business here? Herald and News stuff, Pythian mat ter, jobs of all descriptions, schooi '< work and a lot of other tilings?rushing from one thing to another, coming t in one day, accomplishing a tre- t mendous amount of work, going; off ] the next and returning the same way, ( week after week with his hands full, i I say when I see all this and know t it so well, I can't understand and I 1 ?/MviT\Y-oVipriri This is simolv s JL&li IU ^ V/XAi j^r Jl v. ? - A the thought of Dhe reporter, true and ( sincere. 1 .i^i ( Newberry Alumni Club is Forming. ] The State, 24th. j Notices have been sent out to 50 or 60 men to meet at the Jefferson hotel I tonight to organize a Newberry college men's club.

SPORTS "LILICS" IN TEXAS. fVichlta Falls Banker Mixes 'Em Up in the Oil Game.?Pierce P. Langrford, National Petroleum News, Cleveland, Ohio. Your correspondent usually dov:s lot go into the highways and byways n search of a victim. Neither does le write about any one who has not Keen baptized in salt water and oil Tom the subterranean depths of the. ?arth, therefore when a man's picture appears in these columns it is a foregone conclusion that he is an oil man. The man this month, two years ago lad about as tender a foot as ever stepped onto the -hard floor of a derrick. But remember, that was two /ears ago,*and today he has be:-n immersed in the golden fluid of oil, and ie is not a Baptist, either. H? was born during the stormy period of October 24, 1S61, at XewDerry, S. C. When 24 years old he ;ame to Wichita Falls landing here n 1SS5, hence he has been here long enough to grow horns, and is a long iorn right. But instc-ad of growing lorns he grew whiskers an4 he has ibout the finest bunch of lilacs that f o-nt mixpfi ud in the sandpump "W ings, and he is as proud of them as fie would have been back in his dear Did Sout>h Carolina had his father given him a pair of r?d-topped-boots. He did not go into the oil country, but waited for the oil country to :ome to him, and as everything comes to those who wait, he waited and it same. P.P. Langford began ^ his career as a bank clerk in the old bank building now occupied by th-e State Bank & Trust company, on the corner of Seventh street and Ohio avenue, rhis was a time when there was sure enough outlaws and Indians, and they needed men as well as bookkeepers. This is the sa^e building that was robbed in February 25, 1896, by outlaws who will go down in history as Tien without a name. They died as they lived under the name of "Crawford and the Kid," and the stone that narks their graves is so marked tolay. When this bark was robbed P. P. Langford was a clerk, and, as a ?ood soldier would state it, he knew low to make a retreat; he outran the irst bullets but the second hit him md you can tell by *t:e place he was siici that he was o.i the run, but it through tis r:s that the robbery was ki own aiif chase given by :he local officers which was finished ay the famous Texas Ranger Bill Mcrvmairi The robbers were taken to the jai?. and guarded, where through deceiving McDonald they were afterwards tak-en out and hanged. You will note by this he has fought and bled for his bank. In 1897 he was sleeted cashier of the City National bank, where a large number of the ?il men keep their "over-draughts" ind your correspondent as well. He was promote! to the vice presidency and her<3 is where he enters into this story as an oil man. You will note what a high forehead he has, and before I forget it, I want \ to say that there is more in that head than you can scratch out with a fine nomb. He is in the right niche now, for he is a big, broad gauge fellow, and it would be as hard to keep a man of his ability out of the oil game, as it would be to operate an ice plant in ?well just what you are thinking that I am going to say. Although he has only seen this one oil field, yet he is as much of an oil man as if he were hnrn. as som- men who aspire to poesy would say, "Where the derrick spires are tallest, "And the dividends the. smallest; 'WJiere promoters are the slickest, "And they get your coin the quickest? <<t_ 0m >y Ill J. cAda. There is a saying that "No one loves a fat man," and there is a "disposition on the part of the oil fraternity to give a man with whiskers the cold side of their anatomy, but it never phased P. P., and today the oil men have taken him, ttfhiskers and all, into the holy of holies of oildom. The position he now holds is one of considerable importance, that of vice president of the biggest bank in the Panhandle. No matter what his % salary, he is one of the b -st assets that any banking institution can have, for be can call every man in the county by name, and I, for one, do not believe that story wher? the man goi the word recourse mixed with another that sounded the same. rr. * - 1 rie -ias a ueauuiui resiuenct: anu growing family. I ha^ie to jerk aside the portieres, but it is too good to keep. When the latest arrival in the Langford household came it was a girl, and P. P.'s joy was great. Some of the boys in the bank swear h~ 'bought a thousand hats. We are glad to welcome you, old scout. in-:o the realms of the oil fraternity. We do this b-'cause of your breadth of vision and your disposition to take a fall out of anything that looks good to you. Because you are game and can lose without squealing. You are on the right road ana our best wishes are yours, for you are the kind of a man of which oil men ar-e made. W. G. L.
