Ana it is said that he will still be in danger of assassination for his act. It took some courage on his part to do *.vfoat he did and we must believe that t e was actuated by what he conceived to be his duty. The people should 13-member that the responsibility rested witJa Gov. Slaton and it is difficult lor the outsider to put himself in the > :ace of Gov. Slaton. So far as we i ee it from tf:e reading of the evidence in the case that was published we bei.'eve that the governor has done the ilgkt tlMng. It is to be hoped that <)ulet will be restored and that no violence will be attempted the governor. WHAT DOES IT MEA> ? . T!he Herald and News has received the following letter wiiidh we gladly i-rint and would like to ask what it .means or rather what the resolution means. Seneca, S. C., June 21, 1915. The Herald and News, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir: At the last annual meet"ng of the South Carolina Medical association the following resolution was adorned: " Believing it is the duty of the newspaper to protect honest advertising and protect readers from fraudulent and deceptive advertising, tfte Medical i. ssociation of Soutih Carolina resolved that it would request every newspaper "n the State of South Carolina to accept no medical advertising which is : ntagonistic to the public welfare, or which is undeniably fraudulent or deceptive." The South Carolina Medical association would greatly appreciate any tuck aciion on your part. Yours truly, . x ' E. A. Hines, Secretary of the S. C. Medical Association. . . iWe know'that the newspapers of * South Carolina are honest and try to do the right thing. We do not believe that any newspaper in South Carolina would accept knowingly any "'fraudulent and deceptive advertising," whetiber it be Jiedical or otfter wise. How is the newspaper to know that the "medical advertising is antagonistic to the public welfare," or lhat it "is "undeniably fraudulent or deceptive." If this refers to patent medicine advertising our opinion is that practically all of the patent medicine is nothing but dope of some kind. Good 1 - 1 U _ Zi. "U ? ? _ uuy it aim. taiv-e il ueuaust iuc ' advertising describes the case so well, ?.nd then there are good people wfoo five recommendations of tfte wonderful things this medicine has done for ihem. We believe it was the dope all ihe time that made the patient feel better. But why not stop the druggists from handling and selling? Why TTiY? your stakes at th& little newsapers? Wfto is to be the censor and determine whicih is "fraudulent and :-eceptive" and which is "antagonistic io the public welfare?" Mayb-e the use .of the patent medicin ^3 due to the ability of the vendors to i - dvertise. But the Medical association hould specify what it means by ' medical advertising which is antagonistic^ to tfce public welfare" and wlhat ;.y "undeniably fraudulent and decep'ye." Otherwise the insinuation is ;aat the newspapers are knowingly accepting such advertising to the hurt i f the people. We are pleased to tear that' the C. \ and L. is taking out some of tf:e ? rade crossings between Prosperity - nd Little Mountain. Two were taken . at some years ago and now the dangerous one just beyond Mr. John A. Snealy's, Sr., is being taken out and 'ihe road will not cross until in front of Tabor church. Better still if the ?oad would continue on that side of railroad and then with the two I > ^ \r grade crossings which are being taken out in front of the residence of Mr. Ben Kempson tfcere would be no crossing of t)~e railroad until you reached the Singley place and that would be the only one between Little Mountain and Prosperity. And then if some one would get interested between Newberry and Prosperity we are satisfied that most of the grade crossings between these two towns could be removed. They should be. $> <s> <8> THE lHLEK. <?> > <i> $><$ <$><$>$><&<$<$><$>$><$><$><$><$><&<$><$> I am absolutely certain now that I am a dreamer, and I am so proud of it, and especially when you can live long enough to see some of your dreams realized. A dreamer is one of those fellows who is always ahead of the times in which he lives, but some of the great dreamers of the world have lived to see the realization of tl.'.eir dreams, and 1 believe I am going to be in that class. Now, I hear some one say, well, that fellow sure !bas his nerve with him and doesn't mind talking about himself. Well, so be it. iWhat I am trying to lead up to is that for many years? in fact from the beginning of this column?my constant song has been building a park for Newberry. The park is coming. The land has been secured and work lias commenced. Of course, the land has not been purchased, but just so sure as the park is opened for one year it will never 4 ' ~ f V? A De Closed. Ana now .litre tjuc Observer and tells about tfoat sign that stood across the street in front of the office being taken down and then goes on to say: "And now, having set the example, the Observer is going to inaugurate a crusade against overhead signs across the sidewalk?one of tfre signs of an antiquated town. It is a wonder the Civic association hasn't been after these signs before now." Well, bless your dear lire, 'rne iaier called attention to these overhead signs many years ago and said about the same t'Mng as to their being the sign of an antiquated town. That was one of our dreams and if it too should come to pass we will be glad. We are glad that the Observer is going to wage a crusade against them. .1 am sorry I did not get my articles and put ti:em in such form that they could be used for ready reference, because 1 could quote from them and demonstrate that I had a dream like this of which I am now writing. There is one tmng anout tne ?rcamer, xie is always in a good humor and never is jc-alous or envious. These things are foreign to his nature and so what he dreams comes to pass lie doesn't cary wbo takes the credit for it. Yes, let the overhead signs go and the quicker the better. Some things that I have been reading in the newspapers recently have called to mind a little poem which I xhirjk I have heretofore prin+ed in flnjs ciumn, bir. it is so beautiful and so true and canies sucli a beautiful ! mcraj, and I- think is so appropriate at tnis tima. in view of many things that are taking place and that are being said that I want to quote it again. All of us at times are too harsh in our judgments. We don't understand all the motives that actuate our fellows and sad, but too true, I am almost persuaded that we don't sometimes care. If we only understood. If we could only try to understand. But here is tfte poem. Read it and cut it out and when you are tempted to judge harshly some act of your fellowman take it out and read it. It will do you good. If We Only Understood. Could we but draw the curtain That surrounds each other's lives, See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find it clearer, Purer than we judge we should? j We would love each otfter better, ! Tf wp rmlv understood. 4 ; i Could we judge all deeds by- motives, See the good and bad within, Often we would love the sinner, All the while we loatibed the sin. Could we know the powers working To o'erthrow integrity, We would judge each other's errors With more patient charity. I If we knew the cares and trials Knew the effort all in vain, All tfce bitter disappointment. Understood the loss and pain. Would the grim external roughness Seem, I wonder, just the same? Would we help wftere now we hinder? Would we pity where we blame? Ah, we judge each other harshly, Knowing not life's hidden force; Knowing not the fount of'action Is less turbulent at its source; Seeing not amid the evil All tfte golden grains of good? ?~ ?-f . - ?/*n< " i I f1 Ob. we'd love each other better, j 1:' we only understood. ! ?Selected, j I ! | I notice by the papers that Gov. j Slaton of Georgia 'had to call out the j ! militia to protect his country home j against the mob who had undertaken ; ! to enter. It seems that he had a lot! ! .... . . i i of barbed wire lence put around tne | : premises to make the entrance more | * dangerous. All because he had com-! ' muted the sentence of Leo Frank. I' don't know anything about the Frank | case except what I read in tr.ie news| papers but somehow I feel that Gov. 1 Slaton did the right thing in comj muting the sentence. And I admire : the backbone of the man for doing ;it in the face of ti_e mob. If Frank , is guilty he should die. If he is not j guilty he should be free. But with the j I excitement that still exists it would' [ be scarcely possible for him to have . j had a fair trial. If there is doubt as \ l to his guilt he should have the bene- j j fit of that doubt. That is what our j I criminal laws say. Maybe after the j excitement passes trne truth will come j out. But I am not referring to this j matter to discuss the suilt or the in- ! - - W . J nocence of Frank, but to ask if our j ; civilization is a failure. .What does j . j it all mean. If we* understood the ! motives that actuated the governor j j we migLt understand. But just think j i of a mob going to the home of the j I chief executive of a great State and j threatening violence because he exer-; cised his constitutional rigftt in grant- , ing a commutation to one convicted of! I crime. Then talk about our boasted j I civilization. I have no doubt there' ! ! j will be those who will be ready to I I say that the governor made money || i out of his commutation in tiMs case, i I Now, I don't know Gov. Slaton but i I do not believe anything of the kind. I If we could judge all deeds by moj tives it would be so much better. ^ I Sometimes the motive is evil but I bei j lieve that it is many more time pure j ^ ! and sincere. But, well, I believe that] . there are so many laws and so many ^ , that are violated because they are c j foolish laws, that there is growing up ? j in this country general disregard for t ; law. Even in our courts and during c j my own brief recollection somehow 11 do not believe that tfcere is that: } general regard for law and consti-1 j tuted authority that once prevailed in r j this country. The tendency seems to [be toward the mob, if the jury and tlb-e court do not agree to the popular clamor. And yet, I must believe the people as a whole are growing better. At any rate we may all hope so, and ; i if each one will contribute his or her ? . ! part there will be no question tf:at I the world will grow better very rap- c : idly. * i The Idler. 1 - t Shortage in School Taxes. i It is a deplorable fact that the j | taxes for toe support of the city! | schools of Newberry amounted' to f ! $770.50 less this year than last year, t !*- ' - <* i.1 C J. 4-lw. ?.

But He Should Have Halted a Moment and Noted- the Exception#. It is not bewildered foreigners alone who fall into the traps for the unwary that our confusing grammar and orthography lay. Many a despairing American with no natural aptitude for spelling hesitates or flies to the dictionary long after his student days are orer because, although he remembers the rule, he does not remember the ex ceptions. "And in our rules of spelling," protested one unfortunate professor?not J of orthography?"it isn't even a case of I 'majority rules:' it's merely plurality. Sometimes. I'm sure, the minority of exceptions to a rule isn't beaten by the words thnt comply with it by more than one." A correspondent of the New York Sun recalls an illustrative incident Of his school days. Ills teacher was self satisfied and young, thought he knew It all?but did not. There was in the class a young lady who rejoiced in the good Scots name I of Gillies. When the class was organ izing the "professor" read her name as "Jillies." The young lady protested, but in vain: " 4g' before 4i' is soft." YPftl. of course an eighth of a quart | is a Jill, but what of a fish's gill?
