Our sympathy always goes out to those wh"> are bereaved in any way. Especially when death enters the home and takes away the loved ones and leaves the vacant chair. And yet we all fcnow that sooner or later death must come to all of us, tout wisely the I Good Providence does not permit to know the day nor the hour. I "When death comes to those who | have gone the allotted three score j or more it is none the less sad, but when it comes to the young there i-^ i a percunar ieeuni; 01 suaness nut. : j conies over us. "When the younc:! t maiden just blooming into young wo-! manhood with all of life before her is take:1, we wonder why. She is the ' comfort and consolation of t':vn-l / parents and the life of the home and we wonder why she should be called \ and cut off with such bright pros pect of liap:;y days of usefulness spread out before her. When the little child trusting and fond and strong is taken we again wonder-why this dispensation of a loving Father. Why should the little life that is the comfort of fhe home be given if it is to be taken so soon, and Inst as the tender cords of love were being drawn the more closelv around the heart. We can not understand now. t>;it it will all be made plain in the fnal day. This community has had some sore afflictiors in the last few days. All coming so closely together 'makes it the more sad and the reminder the stronger. ^ The great sympathetic heart of the community goes out to those who have been bereaved. The death of Dr. 0. B. Meyer removes from the activities of the community a man who has been active in all good works and who always took an active interest in everything that was for the betterment of the community. He was a great believer in tXewberry. And not only so he was a fond and devoted and loving husband and father. The death of Miss Blanche Sale the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Sale is peculiarly sad. The onlv aaugnter ana tne ngnt ana comiurc of the home. One brother son^ewhere in France in the service of his country. One son in the Citadel gettine ready to go and,another employed in a distant city it removes the only comfort you might say of the fond parents and we sympathize tenderly with them. The death of little Eugene Blease Workman somehow makes us feel especially smypath?tic for the grandi father, Mr. Eugene S. Blease, beWA V* r* rvrxr.w. f a lr*"* AXT fVtof tllO vauoc vv lACLyry^u iu auvn tuat vuu little life had gotten very near anC dear to him, and the tender cords of love were drawn around his heart, and because we know that such love from a little fellow%is without simulation or guile and pure and- sincere and the breaking of the tender cord is a severe blow. Of course the blow is heavy and felt sorely by the fond ? ? ?? J tr*ys ViOt'A + V* /"* parents illlU 1UI lUClIi wc nave lilt tenderest sympathy. To all of these whp. mourn we can only refer 'them to what the Great iPreacher said to his disciples when he was about to leave them, and told them he was leaving with them the Great Comforter and that he would come again. "A little while and y* shall rot see me: and again, a little while and ye shall see me." And then in conclusion: "In this world ve shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." We must all at some time or other pass under the rod. Whether it be the fond father or mother, son or daughter. "And T saw them again, bending low o'er the grave. Where their hearts' dearest hope had been laid: And the star had gone down in the darkness of night, And the joy from their "bosoms had fled. But the healer was there, and his arms were around. And he led them with tenderer care. And he showed them a star in the hrio-ht nnner world? , 'Twas.their star shining 'brilliantly there. They had each heard a voice?'twas the voice of their God; I love thee! I love thee! pass under the Rod." ? THE PIKD.MONT HIGHWAY. 'a The Piedmont Highway between r Columbia and Xewberrv is in a.'.ior/, i as bad condition as we have ever seen it since it was first laid out a-; the Piedmont Highway. Tt needs ai- j t&ntion very much and practically all 1 the way from (Jplumbia to the Xew- 1 berrv line. It is true that the Xew- > ? I berrv end of the road is now the bet- ; 1 * ! j ter part. Even the Richland part for 5 j 14 miles that at one time was a brag ! | : ?^ iv* Kn/1 rli fin n j 1 piere Ul IU(1U IS Ul/? ill uciu ivuu iuvn. | and needs work. < ?o? I j We went down to Columbia on ! Tuesday via the C.. X. & L. but found i 1 ; that Mr. Claude Williams had driven ; ; to Columbia with Mr. Harry Blease j and his son Marian Blease, the latter i i going to accept a position in the ( i post office, I was offered a seat on ! ( the return in the car. which I a-c- | i c-epted. Mr. Williams' daughter Gladys i < woe fllnnc u ti rl li?? rl. n ill on 71 t i i ride back to Newberry. Mr. Williams 1 c drove carefully and took time to make 5 i t!;e trip ?o that the ride could bs ; 1 a~ comfortable as it is possible to ' t make a ride over such roads. ! ? j ?o? j ? 7iV crops in that section aro look- j \ . iv.z, ?nur*h better than they are in thcvpjber section of Xewberry. The cotton i> growing and in most places i- i in fine c~ndit;on ha\ing been worked ? o"t. In one or t.v places the grass i wis getting the up; or hand of f-ot- ( ion hut this seemed to he the ex: op- ? tion. a ?o? . t The grain crop is be:n? harvested i and there seemed to he more of it 1 planted than usual and it was very : tood. The corn is looking well and i there is a large crop alone: the road : in comparison with the of her crops, i T always enjoy a ride through the < coantry if the driver i* careful and t , does not keep you on the ragged edge all the time in the fenr that you are < going in a ditch or into a tree or a j telephone pole. E. H. A. i A TRIP HOWE. : i? I never pass up an opportunity to 1 : go hope, even if it be for only a few < hours. And somehow the older T , ] grow the more ready T am to take j , the trip. So when Mr. Frank R. ' j ; Hunter said he wanted to go up that j ' way on some business and would like , * for me to go along to point out the j j road I readily agreed. On Saturday < afternoon of last week we left New- i "berry at 3 o'clock bound for Dyson, j We were in his Studebaker and he i took along his mascot Charles. We : j : had no trouble and Frank drives a [' great deal more reasonable than he : ; used to drive and it was a real j > pleasure to ride with him.
