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

nnH enthusiastic alumni and*
I iVWt M4AU V
former students of Newberry college
met last night at 8:30 o'clock in the '
rathskeller of the Jefferson hotel and '
took important preliminary steps to 1
;a permanent union. The purpose of
; the promoters was to gather into a 1
! club the large number of representor
js of the Lutheran institution who '
i now make their home in Columbia, j]
;0n investigation las* night over 80
.names were obtained of those eligible 3
, to membership, with prospects of the ^
; list be:ng increased. Men were pres- 1
' ent who represent all phases of the ;*
|lii> c.f Co'^n-'tid and in addition there |J
! were two cf the "co-ed" graduates 1
i I
: of the cer.ege. !(
1 h
The nnruosv-s of the club were out-;J
lined t'oarlv by the Rev. W. H. Hiller I
and C. L. Kibler, M. D., who with 1
Dr. J. Henry Harms, president of the 1
! college, have been particularly active 1
| in the planning for the meeting. In- !
itcresting talks as to the possible ac- 1
jtiviti-s of the organization were also :
rnare by R. H. Welch, the Rev. Dr. 1
PI A. iMcCullough and J. J. Hope. 11
The meeting was animated by a spirit ;
of active loyalty to the institution 1
which had graduated this group and (
those *n charge were assured a ready
response to those efforts for the good
of Newberry college. ^
A temporary chairman was selected <
in the person of the Rev. W. Ij. Hiller, 1
with F. Wm. Cappelmann &i tem- .?
porary secretary. A committee con- <
sisting of R. H. "Welch, J. J. Hope and 1
W. A. ?healy was appointed to draw <
up a constitution and set of by-laws.
F. Wm. Cappelmann, Silas M. Busby
and J. Jrly Koon were designated to
complete ty investigation the mem- i
bershlp of the body. These commit- 1
j tees are to report at a meeting of 1
in tVio rath<;lcpller
LI1C L'lUU IU UK "tiu iu vuv . v..
of the Jefferson hotel Friday night at <
?>. 30 o'ckck, when it is hoped that the 1
full list of ex-students will be present.
The main decision last evening was
jto hold'a "banquet on the night of 1
;July 1, it "being the opinion that this
method would be the best means of
j beginning the work with animation. I
j A 1-etter has been received from A. F.
! Lever, an alumnus of Newberry college,
that he will be able to be present
on that evening, and this rally
will it is certain be graced by an
address from the seventh district con
gressman. Geo. B. iCromer or rsiewberry,
ex-president of the college;
| President J. Henry Harms and other1
I well-known men will be asked to attend
and speak. To arrange for the
banquet W. H. Hiller, J. H. Mcintosh,
M. D.; R. H. Welch, J. W. Koon and
J. J. Hope were appointed. The program
for the occasion is in charge
of C. L. Kibler, W. H. Hiller and
F\ Wm. Cappelmann.
This movement will be of great
value to Newberry college and to its
adherents, and the permanence of its
\
ictivities is definit ly assured.
It was a revelation to all present
hat there were residing in Columbia
.he large number ascertained. It was
proposed that the club mak2 itself
)f active good at once by the endownent
of one or more scholarships at
he college. Such a gathering as that
ast night must also it is pointed out,
iurely rebound to tne good 01 me cn>
)f Columbia, for it emphasizes the
arge numcbr of people, increasing
ivery day, who are casting in their
ots in the captial city, looking to its
progress and further development.

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.

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

You are on the right road ana our
