I It is one of the oldest papers in the P. State, and it should be like Tennyson's brook, go on and on [forever. But I reckon it takes more to keep it going than it does Tennyson's brook. And ?~en the war is one. But.I guess the k war has 'very little, i: any, effect on F Tennyson's brook. iAnyhow, it seems to have a great effect upon some things. I don't think I. ever heard in all my life so many cries of hard times and talk of no business and no money, and they say the banks won't let out any money. (Well, I reckon ] that is because they already have out so much, and they want to get some ?in, so that ti:e notes and papers they! have will not have such a familiar | look. It just shows everybody down i this way depends on cotton. From what I hear, the people another year! will not be depending entirely on cotton. The farmers have planted oats and wheat, and some of our enterpris ing business men are arranging to put up roller mills, and we can hope to hare some real, pure foome made flour. All this war cry is going to re-1 suit in good in the end. Whatever is ' is right, or it wouldn't be. And I am j not a iatalist either, but a warm' be- j liever in an all-wise Providence. And ! ife overrules all things for the good of His people. Talking about wealth, you know, I don't believe rich people as a rule are happy. I know they are not if they use their wealtfa. for purely selfish - purposes and the power it gives to op-1 press the poor and unfortunate. I j was reading a little romance the other day in which some of the characters were members of a wealthy family, j One of them had syfpathy for the poor and to her "wealtfa. had no rights j except to bring happiness to the "?vorld. It seemed to bring only misery i once people acquired it. Grim sorrow ! seemed to stalk in the trail of the rich. Had you ever noticed it? Some time you stop and think about it. Another member of this family took de-! light in oppressing the poor. The end j of the story is that the child of the one lived a happy and free life, and} knew something of the human side j of life, and its sorrows and joys,'while j the others were butterflies. * To para-! phrase the words o' another: "Tfce only value money has, outside ! of one's immediate requirements is | to be able to relieve other people's mis-! ery; and that if we just spend it 0:1 j ourselves money becomes a monster j that strips life o, oil happiness, ail j \ illusion, all love?and makes it just! a selfish mockery of a world." How true this diagnosis is. Have you not seen a family with everything to make them happy and yet none of them seemed to breathe a happy breatn, think a happy thought, or know a happy hour? Yet money properly used is a good thing, but I mean those old stingy souls who seem to want money just for the sake of having it. And wanting more. What do they get out of life? Answer me. If you ever read "Pe& 'o My 'Heart" you will recall what she said about her father: "Sure me father can do anthin' at all?except make money. An' when he does make it he can't kape i?. He deosn't like it enough. tNayther do L We've never had much to like, but we've seen others around us with plenty, an' faith we've been the happiest?that we have." And it is frequently true. I am somewuat iiKe -I'eg ana ner cauier, I never had so much money* tihat I can I speak from ^experience, but I believe if I had some of the money that even some of the people of this tfown ha?ve I think I would do niOrs-good in the world, than they are <JQfogv: ;I know 3 am not selfish, and my pleasure, or the pleasure I would get out of the stuff, would be making-others happy. I believe I would be happier myself. I would like to live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man. The greatest pleasure I ever had was when I could contribute something of make other people happy. ?o? You know we are not going to stay nere so long any way, ana wnen we go j all the money we have accumulated J is left behind. We can't take any of j it with us. And the best monument; 'we can leave is that we have done some good in the world and have contributed to the happiness of some poor struggling soul. And I believe it will count most in the world to come. You know what the Book says about the IDLER.?GAL TWO ... ridh man. When he li ted up his eyes and saw where Lazarus was he would j have given all his worldly possessions .for one drink of pure cool water to quench his parched tongue. We are rather insignificant any way. We don t amount to so much even if we do possess great wealth. 1 read a little j poem the other daw which i want to i quote. You know I like poetry, and I don't think much of any one who J has net got enouvh sentiment in his ! soul to appreciate sweet and beautiful ; lines of poetry. Read this and think j about it when you get puffed up with j the idea of your own greatness and imI portance: j W.:en you and 1 have done our trick, And finished up our business here, j j The bunch with which we once were J thick Will drop, perhaps, a briny tear; i But they'll regain their wonted cheer, 'Ajid grief for us will cast no pall, : For though, we think we're lots, my dear. I'vWe're not so many, after all. | The jobs we hold and that we think Nobody else can ever fill, | The minute we are on the blink seme one win quicKiy nn tne 0111; i ! The game o.i' life will go on still, Summer and winter, soring and fall, 'So though we think we run the mill, We're not so many, after all. ! We needn't tr.ink we set the pace. We needn't think we have the call, | There's always someone for our place. The hole we leave is pretty small; When we are through, the human race Will still go on; this earthly ball j Will keep upon its course through space? We're not so many, a.'ter all. Well, well, here J am quoting poetry | and preaching a sermon on the rich I man wften I only started out to say how glad I am that the old Herald and News has again started on its visits to the homes, of the people of 'Newberry. I hope it may go on and on forever until time shall be no more.

And so I charge ye, by the thorny crown, And by the cross on wMch the Saviour bled, And by your own soul's hope for fair renown, Let something good be said. .THE IDLER. 1 HOUSE riday 5th Kohn, 2 Reels Selig Biograph Sultan's Present ny i n A\TT \r !
