MANY SAD HOMES.
The terrible influenza which is ragI
ing over the country has taken a
greater death toll than the war in Europe.
And it still goes on.
In man/ cases entire families have
been taken and in several homes several
members of the same family. We
* x J !* T+ fo nnt
can not unaersutim it an.
for us to understand.
It is always sad to us to read of a
home that is just building being torn
asunder. Death is always sad but to
see the head of a home either father
or mother and sometimes both taken
away just as the home is building and
with the bright prospect of a happy
life spread out before the young people
is peculiarly sad.
Two cases have come especially to
our attention in our own county in the
past few days. There may be and no
doubt are other cases similar.
Just last Saturday a week Dr. Sam
Carter of McCormick who married a
Newberry girl only a few years ago
and was just building a home was laid
to his final rest in Rosemont. Just
one week after his wife at the same
hour was buried by his side. And we
learn that the little babe and the sister
of the wife who went to help nurse
are both very ill.
On Saturday morning Mr. Thomas
E. Chandler, a prosperous young farmer
of the Beth Eden section, and a
good citizen and neighbor passed to
the great beyond and the wife is very
ill with the same disease.. For the
father who was more a companion to
the son and the young wife our tenderest
sympathy goes out, but espe-j
^ cially does it make us sad to look up-|
on the young son just beginning to
know what father means and who is
not yet old enough to appreciate his
loss, and to this young life, we feel j
peculiarly drawn. But as Pastor Carson
said in the beautiful and touch/
ing prayer which he delivered at the
funeral service which was held Sunday
afternoon at the Beth Eden
church, we must believe that there is
a wise and over-ruling providence who
I doeth all things well, "and while we
can not now understand the dispensation,
yet some day it will be morning,
and God's morning, and then we will
know and understand.
"Ye that have faith to look with fearless
eyes
Beyond the tragedy of a world at j
strife
v And. know that out of death and night |
- shall rise j
The dawn of. ampler life.
?
"Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the
heart, ,?That
God has given you a priceless
dower,
To live in these great times and have
a part
In Freedom's crowning hour.,"
INFLUENZA. j
f
j
It seems that the physicians and j
scientists have been uiiable to under- j
stand or to treat successfully the lat-j
est disease called influenza. And especially
to handle the complications !
which follow the disease and which
, are proving so fatal. Whole families !
/are being wiped out and what the dis-,
-ease does is done quickly. We noticed
in the Atlanta Constitution some days
ago that the physicians and scientists
who met in Chicago a short time before
had discovered a serum which,
would prevent pneumonia following,
influenza and that the serum was to'
<
, be distributed among the physiciansI
of Georgia. We have seen nothing
further of the results of the serum. ;
What we started to say was, however,
that if quarantine was worth
anything it seems to us the way to
make it worth while would be to put
on a strict quarantine and one that
was in reality a quarantine. There
can be little good, it seems to us, for
instance, in closing down the schools
- and permitting the children to run at
large and to leave others to go and
' congregate in stores and other places.
The only way for a quarantine to be
really effective is to close up every
place for a stated period and require
every one to remain on his own premises
during the quarantine and to extend
it to the entire State. Railroad !
trains and stores are generally crowded
with a mixed population and many
times the ventilation is poor if any at
all. Give the people notice that such
a ouarantine was to be put on so that
they might secure a sufficient supply
of food to exist, and then see to it that;
the quarantine was enforced. That is
the only sort of quarantine that would
be worth much if quarantine is good.
"We suppose the State board of
health would have such authority. The
disease is more prevalent in the rural
districts in Newberry at present than
in the city, but there are a good many
cases in town. Several schools in the
county have closed already but if
people keep up the visiting and mingling
the danger of spreading the disease
still exists. Let the boards of
health close up all places for a couple
of weeks and let all the people remain
at home.
SALARY INCREASE.
The legislature has passed the salary
increase bill for State officials and
it has been railroaded through so that
it will be operative for the State offi- 5
cers who are to be sworn in on Tues- j
day.
There can De no cioudi inai salaries
of State officers were too low but we,
do not know that we can endorse the
increase in the way it was made, j
These gentlemen knew what the pay j
was when they sought the position and !
should have been willing to take it j
and then let the increase be made for j
the successors. But it is all right, j
The increase will not materially affect j
the total of appropriations and cer- j
tainly the pay the State was giving its j
officers was niggardly. The idea of j
any man going over the State and j
paying the cost of it, not to speak of!
tv?o wnrrv sppkingp a iob that lasted i
for only two years at an annual sal- j
ary of $1,900 seems ridiculous. The
increase of $2,500 is not much but it
will help. Just how the State officials
have been able to meet living expenses
in Columbia on the salary is hard to
explain. They must Hooverize considerably.
.
We notice that Messrs. Evans and
Folk from Newberry voted against the
bill while Mr. Mower is not recorded
as voting. In fact the bill was passed
by only 40 votes less than one-third
of the membership of the house and
only 21 against it, the total' vote being
less than a quorum.
There has been great improvement
in the road along by where Mr. W.
E. Elmore lives and just before you
get to the old Kinard place by putting
some clay on that heavy sand bed that
was once the dread of the traveler
along this way. If the old split log
drag had been applied to the road as
needed it would be in fine condtion.
And the same is true of the remainder
of the road all the way to Beth Eden.
The strange part of the whole matter
is that we talk and write/ volumes
about good roads and we fail to apply
the simple remedy that would do the
roads so much real good and at a min
imum or cost. -But we win uoi.
i
Gov. Robert A. Cooper will he Inaugurated
today, Tuesday, at noon in
Columbia.
In mentioning the purchase by the
Commercial bank of the building now
occupied by G. B. Summer and Son
The Herald and News did nbt mention
that Summer and Son had purchased
the building just across the
street now occupied by West-Martin
as a furniture store and would move
in there very soon. In fact at the
t|me we did not know of the purchase.
Mr. H. S. B. Kibler now with WestMartin
and others associated with him
will open a furniture store in the
rooms now occupied by Fridy Ford
Motor company and they will move as
soon as suitable quarters can be obtained.
This year 1919 promises to be a
great year of development in Newberry.
In addition to th^ proposed
buildings by the banks and the new
hotel there is probability of improveTripnt
nn the Newberrv hotel DroDerty,
and then there are many homes to be
built and with it all there is to be
substantial progress along all lines in
the good old town of Newberry. It
does not pay to build homes for rent,
but it does pay in more ways than
one for people who are renting to
build homes for themselves.
i
Speaker Thomas F. Cothran is a
mighty fine fellow and a man of excellent
judgment and an experienced j
legislator and we have no doubt makes
a fair and impartial speaker j)f the
house of representatives. We have
known him a long time and served
once with him in the legislature. This
much to show that what follows is
not captious and not meant to be
criticism at all. But somehow it
seemed to us a little remarkable that
out of 124 members of the house he
should give chairmanships on several
committees to the same member instead
of passing these little honors
around, for in most cases the committees
do' not have anything to do and
some of them never meet during the |
sessiou. There are some twenty-five
or more committees, but in reality j
only a few of them are more than;
nominal, and why he should have j
made the same member chairman of j
several committees struck us rather'
remarkable.
Newberry county drew one chair-,
manship, that of railroads to Mr. H. j
H. Evans. This committee sometimes j
has many very important measures t
before it, but in this day of govern- j
ment control of railroads there is not
much probability of many bills being
X - - . -A*-- - ^ "
introduced affecting the railroads. bui|?
it ranks as among the more import )
ant committees. The only two com-1
mittees that really have much to do J
are the ways and means and the judiciary.
Mr. Bradford of York is chairman
of ways and means and a good
man he is for the position. Mr: Berry
/-*? i \*?on oriiKin?<r i <; fhwirmaii fit' illdieiarv
and he has had long experience and !
will maTte a good chairman. The j
next committee in importance accord
ing to our notion is the committee on j
education and Mr. Graham of Wil-1
liamsburg is chairman. Banking and :
insurance is an important committee
and Mr. Moise of Sumter is chairman, j
Mr. Xunn of York is chairman ac
i
counts, commerce and manufactures j
and engrossed bills.
Mr. Clinkscales of Anderson or ag- j
riculture, claims and local legislation, j
Mr. McSweeney of Hampton of en-;
rolled acts, fish, game and forestry, j
Mr. Barnwell of Charleston of hos- j
pital for the insane and medical af- j
fairs.
I
Mr. Kelley of Anderson of legisla-;
tive library and roads, ferries and j
bridges.
Mr. Coney of Dorchester of peniten-j
tiary and public printing. t
The one committee .chairmen are: J
Eaddy of Williamsburg incorpora-!
tions; Moise of Sumter banking and
r* 1
insurance; ijraaam ui n inicimAuuig
education; Mims of Edgefield military
affairs; Hall of Anderson offices and
officers; Gray of Spartanburg police
regulations; Daniels of Richland
States house and grounds; Evans of
Newberry railroads. Three Anderson
members drew five chairmanships;
two York members four; two WilI
liamsburg three; Hampton two; Charleston
two; Dorchester two; Sumter
one: Edzefield one: Spartanburg one;
Newberry one; Richland one: Orangeburg
two, Mr. Berry being also chairman
of committee on rules.
Twelve counties and sixteen members
furnish the chairmen for the
twenty-five committees.
