however, the entire establishment is
being devoted exclusively to the making

If two heads are better than one, it
did not prove so in this case, but nevertheless
this is a real two-headed
creature that we are going to speak
about. Mr. C. M. Grimsley brought to
The Times office this morning a little
dead abicken with two well developed
heads and a well formed body and
legs. The biddie belonged to a brood
of eigfct, seven of which hatched out
alive and healthy, but the eighth egg
did not hatch and when it was broken

though dead. What makes it all tibe
more strange is the fact that it was
a single yolk egg. Sometimes a double
yolk egg will develop two biddies,
but they are usually grown together.
This is the strangest freak of nature
that fcas been seen in this section in
some time..

I read the following in some news
paper the other day, and it is so full j
of the good old common sense that I
want to pass it on to those of this
community who feel like that knocker
of the town referred to. If we could
get out of Newberry every fellow who
had given expression to sentiments
like those quoted, it would be a good
thing for Newberry. Now, you Just
stop, look and listen, as President
TT : i. ~ J - ~ -U 4- !
narnstra says lu uu auuuu tut; gi<a.uc
crossings of the railroads and you will
her.r some wise guy pretty soon say
something like this: "I ought to have
sense enough to leave this blamed old
town," or may be he will say that, "I
should hav^fad sense enough to have
left this blamed old town long ago."
You will generally* find that these fellows
are the drones^ on the communi
ty who never do anything to help the
town, and wT:o have never done anything
for the community. But here is
the little paragraph to which I had
reference:
" 'I ought to have sense enough to
quit this blamed town," said a chronic
knocker the other day. We promptly
offered to supply the sense and the
transportation, but the sucker is stiil
here."
And now wi':.en you hear some one
in this community make a similar remark
you just do what this newspaper
editor says he offered the fellow in
.that town. The sooner this toyn can
set rid of such fellows the better for
tfce town.
?o?
It is just like I said aforetime, what
we need here is a spirit bf optimism.
Why do you know that a half dozen
fellows telling some healthy and ^ell
man every day that He is looking awfully
bad and asking him wiiat's the
matter with him, will soon put him to
bed. You want to help the fellows of
this town to set the right sort of music
to the words of tJ-eir lives and to tel>
them that God furnishes the words,
but the music must be furnished by
each individual, and whether tfce song
shall be glad or sweet or sad all depends
upon 'them. And listen, read
these two brief stanzas and then go
off and make a glad sweet song of
your life: {
' -ft.
"Our lives are songs; God writes the
words,
And we set thetf to music at pleasure;
s
And the song grows glad, or sweet, or
sad,
As we d.oose to fashion the measure.
"We must write the music, whatever
the song,
Whatever its rhyme or meter:
And if it is sad, we can make it glad,
Or if sweet, we can make it sweet
er."
I don't generally make it a practice
to print things unless I know who
sends them, but sometimes when it is
a clipping I do not mind printing it
even if I do not know who tlie sender
is. I 'have received through the mail
in an Envelope addressed to Idler the
following. I do not exactly know
whether ti. is is a compliment to me or
whether it is intended otherwise. 1
do not know whether it is meant for
me to understand that in the estimation
of the sender of tihe clipping that
I am a crank or a live wire, or w'neth
er I have intelligent and original ideas,
or whether the contrary is intended.
But it makes no difference to me what
people think or say, as I have said
several times iberetofore. I consider
myself, a progressive citizen and a live

wire, ana ia sume mingo a. viaua, auu
I am proud of it because according to
the dictionary a crank is a handle
which is used to turn things around
and move them forward, and I am both
of them. Appreciation of this class of
citizen, like cfcarity, should begin at
home. I know also that appreciation
does not begin at home, of such labor
a's I have been rendering to this community,
but neither does that concern
me. I would like for some of the tight
wads of tlMs town to read this. Rec"rmi
+ r\f morif Ar\ac /->/vmp first OWflV

from home. I aln not a prophet and
never claimed to be, though sometimes
I think I can see as far through a mill
stone as any one else, and sometimes
?well it does no good to tell some peoi
' \ . . *
pie what you see on the other side.
But l':ere is the communication I received.
Read it and tell me what it
refers to and what it all means:
To Idler: It is said that a prophet
is or 110 avail in ms own nomesieau.
[ A community, a province, a state becomes
prominent by the acts of its
progressive citizens. By their example
civic pride is born. It should be the
pride and, ambition of every citizen
of a state to accomplish something
that will permit him to realize that
j he is one of the factors in its welfare
I and progress, it fte is convinced 01 i
his lack of usefulness, and concludes
he has, no influence that would aid,
ti en at least it should be his duty to
help boost those that have the true
spirit of" progress and upbuilding.
Charitv. it is said, begins at home.
So should appreciation of progressive
citizens. The man who develops an
enterprise tl at becomes unusually
prominent, mainly because of original
ideas and intelligent application
of good methods, should be encouraged
and congratulated at home. But
such does not seem to be the usual his
lory. usuany recosmuuu ui mem
of men who meet with great success in
special callings or occupations?or, in
other words-, who f:ave bccome experts,

I said a little while ago that what
this commumtv needed most was a
spirit of optimism. I might add that

all the time. And by the way I read
the otlver day a number of things that
a grouch will do and I believe that I
am going to quote it here for the
benefit of our grouchy people around
town and I hope they will all read it,
and t hen shake the thing on
and have a pleasant smile and a kind
word for every one they meet. It will

YOUNG MAN SHOOTS CHILD.
Fired fat Five-Year-Old Boy With an
Old Pistol
News and Courier.
T.<nrinctnn. Aue. 7.?Herman Brooks.
5-year-old-son of a Columbia family,
was shot and probably fatally injured
at Saxe-Gotha !Mills< near Lexington,
t?l:is afternoon. Preston Frye, a man
of about 21 years of age, is accused of
the shootoing. The child, with his
mother, was visiting friends at SaxeGotha,
having come over from Columbia
several days ago. Frye, it is said,
was cleaning and oiling an old pistol
out in the yard. In his d-ildisii manner
Herman is said to have slapped
Frye on the back t^'o or t'i ree times.
The young man is said to have told
the little fellow, "If you slap me again
I will shoot you," or words to that
effect. v
The child in a playful manner struck
Frye again, whereupon the man is
said to have raised the pistol and fired,
the bullet striking the child in the left
side and passing through the body.
Dr. Roberts was summoned and gave
the child every attention possible, but
suggested that the injured boy be sent
to the hospital in Columbia. It is said
that Frye may be brought to jail
pending the outcome of the child's injuries.

an illustrated article. "Indirect artificial
lighting has long been in use,
and recently there has developed a
movement for increasing the effect of

For this purpose a white, oil-proof
enamel that will not turn yellow if
kept clean, is used, both the celling

It is reported that remarkable results
in the way of better lighting an J

in this way."
