AULL, EDITOR. = Tuesday, June 29, 1915. _ j What a beautiful time this would j be to form that split log Irag asso-j ciation. Just a little dragging of the' roads would help tiiem so much. And j it would cost so little to have it done and the results would be so great the if 4-Vl.of U i C? unf Zi I nvmiBi 10 luai ^ ^ Abe Martin plugs the bull's eye when he says that soon the czar will have to go to Germany if he wants to review his soldiers.?Greenville -Piedmont. That is pretty near literally true. According to a report 13.485,000 of the czar's troops fcad either been killed, wounded or taken prisoner during the first six months of the war. A nice new steel bridge over Scott's creek in College street is a great j thing and much to be desired, but j ti'nere is one thing to which we would like to have the privilege of calling attention and that is the numerous j small bridges all across College street | from the Savoy frotel to the college, and it would hp a. ?rreat thins: and much to be desired to have some of( these taken out. It is one little bridge; \ ! or one little hole all the way along. | This is one street it would seem to j us that the city fathers would take; pleasure in having as smooth as it is possible to have a street. It would i bt a thing of joy too if it could be so.' Why not scrape it or drag it or do something with it. p I HAVE YOU TRIED IT? "I am going to die but I did my duty." These are the words of Sheriff Hood as lie was brought to Columbia yesterday after the unfortunate affair at WSnnsboro. It is some satisfaction to die with the full as- | surance of having done your duty.? Newberry Herald and News. Our Newberry contemporary says it is some satisfaction to die with full assurance of having done your duty. How does he know? Has he tFjed it? ?Greenwood Journal. j To do your duty is a good rule by whim to ljve ani we have always understood that the rigfnt way to die was 1 ^ i tut* 1-15x11 wav to nve. in omer woras < to die tight you must live right. How about that? Is not that what the preachers-tell us? The Newberry Herald and News this week was confronted by a most j unique situation. Last week a prom- j inent murder trial was held in New-! "berry and, of course, tne newspapers' carried long accounts of the trial. On .Tuesday of this week The Herald and N^s contains letters on tae front t page from two correspondents, each accusing the newspaper of being unfair; one being in favor of the de-| fendant, who was acquitted, and the j other sharply criticising the jury for j its verdict. Tiie dead man's friend I said the report was one-sided; the i live man's friend says the report was unfair and that it omitted important: testimony. It seems to be a well es tablished fact that everybody can not j be pleased, but when both sides criticize one he must be pretty near correct.?Bamberg Herald. * That is the way it appeared to us. The testimony we printed wras from the official record kindly furnished at our request by the official court stenographer. We made an ihonest ef fort at least to be fair and impartial j and that both sides accused us of the! contrary is pretty strong evidence that the report was fair. We have no interest in toe trial and if we had we would try to be fair all the same. We have received two communica? tions?one from a woman?suggesting ^ that a fund be raised to ereci a monument to Isenhower, tfte man who shot the negro to death at Winnsboro, and the plea of the woman is that he was acting in the defense of tfte honor of the women and their protection from the brutes who continue to commit such terrible outrages. Their plea is tfaat Isenhower was not attempting to do harm to Sheriff Hood or any one 1- 1 J - * ? uut mat wnu lut; uiooa oi nis near and dear relative crying out for protection lie could not be satisfied with less than the blood of the brute. Well, it is not our purpose to encourage mob i raw. We are as strongly in favor of law and order as any one, but as we have heretofore remarked we believe that such brutes in human form si.ould receive about the same treat , ___ _ j. rnent as we would give to a raiua uug. Put yourself in the place of the man whose dear one has been outraged by one of these brutes and t'hen ask yourself how you would feel ana what you would do. And yet it is right and better to let law take its course. It is such an easy step from the violation of one law to another that it is. always dangerous to society and the! social fabric to do violence to the law. I T:e Charlotte Observer alludes to, the road between Shelby and Char-! lotte as "The Rain-proof road," and1 goes on to say: "Banker Charles Blanton landed in town bright and early yesterday, fresh as a daisy andj bright as one of the gold dollars he occasionally handles. The automo- J bile and tae good road was the com-j bination that produced the tappy ap-j pearance. The good road between Charlotte and Shelby was built right and topped with the proper material. It is the sort that stands the test of; weather. Mr. Blanton reported the road in splendid condition in spite of the rains, for it was built so that tr.ie j f.arder it rains the better the road." 1 Now what we desire is that tfae authorities of Cherokee county adopt the same kind of road making iaw for' this county so that we can have some' of these "rain-prcof roads." We are expending our money unwisely so long as we continue in the present plan. It would be just as easy to, spend our money in tfae right direc-! lion, w-e neeu. a vuaugc 111 uui ivau building system, and we need it bad-j ly.?Gaffney Ledger. What is true of Cherokee is true of > Newberry and of every otfter county, in South Carolina. -Wie agree most! i heartily with the Ledger that we are! spending a great deal of money on the roads unwisely and with no results a r??V? in 4-? r* i tt/\ Mpi wunu wiine, uuL WLIU iu give uo j a better plan? It would seem that, it would be just as easy to spend our ! money in the .rigtat direction, but the I trouble is who is going to determine j the rigi'it direction. We take it for' granted that every one who has any- j thing to do with the spending of the j money thinks he is spending it in the! m 1 Vi 4 it if Vi ? J-. ItAAM + iigiiL uii cv;tiv-rii uxitii it uad uccu opcui j and teen it seems to us there should be little difficulty in seeing ti':at at least no results had been accomplished. We do not know that we could hav^ rain-proof roads in this country without at least spending more mo/iey than would be justified, but certainly with a little better system we could j have better roads than we have^ow j for the same expenditure. ] <S> <?> | <$> THE IDLER. <? I A A i vy ^ ] I have at various and sundry times ; made some desultory?is teat a good j word??remarks on the tongue, and' sometimes I :have flattered myself that I have said some pretty clever things, but here is an essay on the tongue which I read in a copy of the Yorfc j News, which by accident fell into myj hands recently, under the head ofj "Here and There." It is about the cleverest thing I Shave seen on this valuable member of the human body, and I want every one to read it. If it ] is not clever please write me and tell j me what is the matter with it. Of course, there are no unsanctified ton- j gues in Newberry. This refers to the I fellow in the good town of York. There I must be some pretty bad ones there, j the way tMs fellow is writing about! them, and foe writes like one who! knows'what he is talking about. Read j it The Tongue. There is no greater source of evil i than the unsanctified use of the ton-1 gue. Nine-tenths of all our social,! political and religious troubles are < traceable to this unruly member. It j destroys the sanctity of home, severs ; tfte ties of affection between husband! and wife, parents and children; sets! otherwise peaceable communities in; a tumult of unwarranted and need-! less excitement. This deadly weapon j has dethroned empires, crushed king- j doms, laid waste continents, and sent desolation and destruction and dismay from one end of our world to the other. The tongue is the medium of conversation?talk, tattling, tale-hearing, lying, gossiping, etc. It is the mouth piece of the brain, and willingly re sponds to its demands. The confusion of tongues (languages) 2,348 years, B. C., put a stop to the building of the. DR. F. C.

If t'.iere could be some limit to the vast amount of worthless trifling, demoralizing and dangerous conversation, it would stop the building of many a tower of trouble. A tattling, gossip peddling person in a community is more to be feared i than a Bengal tiger, or the Asiatic j cholera. You can kill the tiger, but the mischief maker goes free. You may overpower as fearful a disease as the cholera or the yellow fever, j u m ue luisciuei-inaKixig, laiinng,1 back-biting, whispering news vender,19 gossip-monger is incurable, unman- I ageable, irresponsible and unendur-|B able. Tl-ey are the terror by night, J pestilence that walketh in darkness, i the arrow that flieth by day and the destruction that (does not) waste or cease at noonday Their highest aspiration is to disturb the peace and happiness of the community in which they live. On the other hand, a pure, chaste use of the tongue is the most powerful agent for good. Many persons accomplish more their silence than they could possibly do by anything tiiey might say. The Christian, as well as every one else, is commanded to order his con-1 versation as becoming Godliness. No j true Christian can be either a tattler,' back-biter, liar, or gossip monger. His conversation is to be discreet and edifying sucfo as will minister grace to those who hear. His guide says he \ shall give an account on the day ofj judgment for every idle word. "Be ye holy in all manner of conversation..' Just think of wi:at that man wrote: "A tattling, gossip peddling person! in a community is more to be feared than a Bengal tiger, or the Asiatic j cholera." Just think of that. Sup- j pose I said that. Well, I didn't, but j 1 most, and would, if I could have; gotten the words to come for me. But! listen. Oh, listen to this: 'trn-u^ ^ ?

Instead of seek- > ani ing to equalize, the effort seems to be ?a to mane me cnnerence in returns oniy i ^r( the greater and to lay on heavier and j <je] heavier where the burden should be' b0) lightened. This course instead of mak- j jCl7 ing matters better is making tihem ' worse and will tend to grave compli-1 ]jn cations. }ani We do not blame the banks and. t0 other corporations for seeking redress j bei and declaring that if necessary they j will go into the courts. This should i not be required of them and we hope j that the commission will see its mis-if"" take and change its course. Let it begin at the right end of the line and correct where correction is most needed. Corporations sfcould be treated with just as mucn equity as individauls. They are not all soulless as a great many think them to be,-' And even if they were that would be no excuse for treating them unjustly.
