In presenting this subject this
morning, I would not be a pessimist,
and I intend to be just as optimistic
as existing conditions wll allow. Although
I fear that my subject is altogether
too broad to be treated adequately
in the time alloted.
We, as citizens of Newberry, are
n.f hftr Prm-iHAnpp "has ihppn
?/l VUU i *
pleased to place in this little spot of
the world, a place called Newberry,
and has given us the distinction of j
residing here.
South Carolina has been called the i
garden spot of the world, and Newberry
has been designated as tlie garden
spot of that garden spot. But
this morning, we must say it, tne garden
has not been cultivated and therefore
has not grown as it should and
was intended.
This morning Newberry is dead. 1
Dead! Dead! Dead! And it is slowly
decaying. What Newberry needs
most just now are the powers of the
resurrection turned on in full force
"* J ?- ?Alr/vrnor \%TCk trtA IATI 7

have been sleepers and dreamers.
You often have heard those famous,
those true lines of "Wliat make up a
State." We have men in Newberry,
but the men that we have are afraid
" ~ *- ,TT*'- ? - J 1 1
Ol Dig tnmgs. I>v? ueeu rntni yvoxu n aia >
undertake and carry out a big program.
Xo one has ever amounted to
anything, nor will anyone ever be
great, who does not set his ideals
higher than he can reach. It is those
people who have lived by a big program,
whether thej carried it all out
or not, that have left the world enriched
by their lives.
Newberry possesses unique oppor
tunities and big advantages to grow
into a model city. She could soon
become a big trading center if the
wheels of her industrial mechanism
were kept oiled and running, instead
of someone forever slapping on the
emergency brakes for fear they will
break the speed limit of industrial
progress. Someone is continually
asking, "Why does not the population
of Newberry notably increase?" I
can tell you, simply because she does
not move. 'She does not keep pace
with the times. Practically the onlypopulation
gained by Newberry is that j
gained by births, and this is almost j
equalized by deaths.
Why do not people come here to j
settle? Simply because there's noth-1
ing here to attract them. It's a set-1
tied fact that people go where there's |
something goisg on. inert; was am c
in town last night. But practically i
the whole town was there. Why? j
Because there was something doing, j
something going on. Citizens of New
berry, if you want to see the pop
tion of Newberry increase, if a
, want to retain those young men a^
young women who otherwise leave j
the city to get a job, you've got to j
make things move. You've got to
make things hum! You'ive got to
make this place attractive!
- ? ~e ~ +>, o +
it IS me dmust;uiciii& <ji it cuj mc... (
attract and hold the young people.
Newberry needs a park, yes, a park,
a place where old and young may go
to refresh and enjoy themselves. The
present site of the "would-be" park
is j, beautiful one, and there could be
erected here a park which would
greatly adorn our city. Newberry has
in Willowbrook park one of the prettiest
in the State, and one which
-or! mi ration from all visitors.
V?W*VU ? - v.?
But who made it? Who transformed j
the plowed fields into the most beautiful
spot in the "garden spot of South
Carolina?" It is needless-to answer.
'Newberry needs a large public lib
rary with a salaried librarian in |
charge. There are many who would
be glad to give books to make up a
fine library with stores of information ;
fr>r its citizensr And in connection j
"with this, why not establish a mu- j
seum. Newberry has many relics of
which she is justly proud, and whic. I
the world would be glad to see.
Newberry must have a hospital. We
too long have neglected ^his important
institution for the welfare of our
people. Surely we have enough sick
ness and disease to support it. A j
citizen of Columbia was heard to remark
thus a short while ago, "Newberry
sends enough patients to Co- ,
lumbia to keep up a hospital." The
good women of our town undertook to
establish this important institution,
but lacking the cooperation of the
town and county, the work was not
- X. ^
consummated. >
This brings to my mind another im-1
portent need of -Newberry, and that
need is persistency of purpose. Wei- i
lington had persistency of purpose
and Wellington won. Grant was a
determined, bulldog fighter and his
soldiers *sed to say of him that you',
i
might as well try to snub the sun.
Persistency is a pearl in the crown
of success. The beginning and end
of all enterprise depends upon your
power to stick. Wlien you fee] like
quitting, just think of those men
n-K a V*n va Knnti r.amnollqil trv fu T'd 1
UU ?lia*C UCCi 1 V_ iVU cvy a
trouble. You're not having half the
trouble Wellington had when he won.
Everyone that sticks, wins. Everyone
that fails to stick, fails to win.
The point is, stick!
Men of .Newberry, we must be up j
and doing. Let us arise and polish j
i
the forepart of that name until it j
shall shine and glisten as the sun. J
May that spirit of burning enthus-j
iasm, that spirit of "never-say-die,"
that spirit of ardent cooperation so
seize and dominate the lives of our
i
citizens that Old Newberry 6hall
march forward anri take her place in i
the frcn: ranks of tvie leading cities ,

TEDDY'S ANSWER
TO BULL MOOSE
I
i
Suggests Conditional Refusal Be j
Placed in Committee's Hands.
Chicago, June 10.?Col. Roosevelt's '
answer to the Progressive convention
follows:
"The Progressive convention: I am
ery grateful for the honor you confer
upon me by nominating me.as
president. I cannot accept it at this
time. I do not know the attitude of
1 * n "D nrvi! Vil n nartv I
tne canaiaau; ui mc uciiuunvuu
toward the vital questions of the day.
Therefore, if you desire an immediate
decision, I must decline the nomination.
But if you prefer it I suggest
that my conditional refusal to
run he placed in the hands of the
Progressive national committee. If j
Mr. Hughes' statements when he j
makes them shall satisfy the commit- j
i
tee that it is for the interest of the
country that he be elected, they can
act accordingly and treat my refusal
as definitely accepted. If they are not
satisfied they can so notify the Progressive
party and at the same time
they can confer with me and then
determine on whatever action we may
severaly deem appropriate to meet the
needs of the country.

who is not a Roosevelt supporter,]
sent a telegram to Justice Hughes
this morning, warning him that, be-;
fore accepting the republican nomi-1
nation for the presidency, he
(Hughes) would do well to consider,
the fact that in several states the,
law prohibits aceptances by members j
>f the judiciary of nominations for
my other office. Osborn suggests
:hat the question may be carried to
:he United States supreme court if
Hughes runs. Lawyers who have
Deen asked about the point made by
the former Michigan executive are
inclined to regard it as having no
pertinence whatever to presidential
candidacy, the qualifications for
ft'hich are fixed by the constitution of
the United States and not by the

he had tentatively refused the Pro-;
