While the Newberry county col% lege club is about it and making arrangement to entertain some 500 or 600 alumni and former students of Newberry college at the approaching commencement, and the thing will be done if they come, why not start a drive for a greater Newberry college and have an institution that will be a pride to Newberry and ful- j ly euipped with money and men to do the work of any institution in the country, without the worry and ' <> J a T time spent oy me president, xu wedging money to meet the pay roll? We can do the job if we get behind it with the right sort of enthusiasm. < It takes enthusiasm and faith to do things and without them all our ef forts will fail, because thejr will be < half-hearted, and no such work can 1 have even the semblance of success, 1 and even if it should it would at ; * least be but a semblance. . ' < We need to wake up and discover < ' i ~ our college and appreciate in some < nrViaf if TO wnW.ll to this COm- jl UI^O^UXV VT??*V M ?? ?- ?? . muaity in a cold business way, and greater still what it is worth to the < community as an uplift and helper in the building of men and womeit. ( We know from sad experience . what it is to be worried with making the ghost walk every Saturday. We had the job for thirty years and more. Y(e now are beginning to realize what it is to have that load lifted and how much easier it is to do the other things that come our way. The same is true in some measure we might imagine with the president of the college. Start the drive and drive it to a success so that he may be relieved of that load and then say to him, here now is the college/ and here is the stu^ with which to make her move and do big things, andif you -ean't do the. job then say so and we will see if we can't find some: One who can. Not meaning to Rftv that the Dresident is not equal to the task, but meaning to say that if we'are to have a greater Newberry college then we must get together and let the world know that we mean to do something. It takes money, yes, but we can get the money if the thing Is gone after in the right way and with the proper spirit. Times have greatly changed and we must change our methods of ops erating if we are to keep moving. * ? ? ?? -i?_ it. We can no longer a rag aiong w me good old way and expect results. We must not get far from the good old foundation, not at all, but we must wake up if we are to accom plish results. Furman and Sewanee and the other colleges are moving and they are getting the money. We must pay our president _and our professors more money and say to them here . yon are now get busy- and give us the best that is in you. . This is the' time to make the drive to put Newberry college on the,basis it should be and make her lead the way. Not be satisfied with being - the equal of any, but aspire to be the leader in the educational world. We do wish they would hurry up and sign that peace treaty. We want to see cotton get back to 35 and 40 />onfc CJnr? it ta arnincp fViuro -rrrVi on +lin mmvc av ^vul^ vaavr&w tvlavu wiav Hiarkets of the world are opened, and we expect that they will- be opened when the peace terms are all agreed upon. Hurry it along, Mr. Wilson. We know it is a big job and a difficult one to arrange a peace treaty for the whole world, but we are getting a little anxious. We want to sell our cotton and we don't want to do it just yet, at least until the treaty is signed . ??? Spnntnr niol wo eon I,s tvrrini* f a A-' *v?* ?l V ?VV AiJ Wi. J wv get the colored soldiers released from the service so that they may return to the farms where their labor is needed. We happen to know several white boys from this county who were taken right from the farm who have been trying for some time jn to be released so that they may re-' n turn to the farm where they are j s< greatly needed, but they can not get1 a a discharge. Why not try to get c some of them out also. A great many a who have been released are nor from it; the farm. That is those from this |t; nminfTr Tnwi vmir V?nr?<4 tn cnrno ftf VUUiiWJ JL Ui AS J VW?*. VV V* j ' the white farmer boys, Mr. Senator,j y and turn the trick for them. r ? b We notice that some of the suffrar- y gettes have wired to Columbia to f have a special session of the legis- j t lature convene so as to ratify the ;v i amendment to the federal constitu-.lj tion. They are certainly in a hurry, j - At- 1 ^ ' _ iviayDe me inexnoeis ui uic pic?c:ii, s legislature are not in favor of the ^ i amendment, and it might be better , b to await another election or at least p give the present members until the j d next session in January to think on'p the subject. v jci ^ gj This "would be a good week for m every one to devote a little time to the effort of cleaning up the old town. Of course we should keep itj^ clean all tne time, dui inasmuco as the Newberry college club has exbended an invitation to all the alumni and former students of Newberry college to pay us a visit next week, :li we should do a little house cleaning a1 so that they would have the feeling | that -we had fixed up just because jffl we were expecting them. We should rr\ all want them to go away feeling that not only the old college but the, f * old town as well was prospering, and i ^ a attention to the nersonal ap-! - I" pearance of a town as well as an in- j dividual goes a long way toward giv-; ing the appearance of prosperity and j. ' ' S( makes people say nice things about you. That's what we want these je boys and girls to be able to say;o: truthfully when they come and go | away again to their homes. Then there is great need for a lit- i r< tie house .cleaning along many of our | v I streets and around our homes not it only because we are expecting visi-jG tors but because it is a good thing all | the time.- jc The grass and weeds are taking j"* possession of many of our streets P and sidewalks and if we can't fill all the holes in the streets, we might atjti least mow some of the weeds and v grass. How about it? ;a COOPERATION. ? |? It was Miss Swittenberg who said y at the closing of the Prosperity1 c< school that the success of the year's s< work was due largely if not entirely jb to the beautiful cooperation the 'u teachers had on the part of the pat- (h rons and children and trustees, and! r< at Whitmire Miss Dillard spoke of the hearty cooperation the teachers tl of that school had from the trustees L and the patrons and what a beauti-jw ful and pleasant year they had had. j d And at Little Mountain Joe Derrick |n spoke for Miss Neel "and the other j teachers and said there had been b< such fine cooperation of all concern-1 k ed that the school had had the finest g i year in its history. And so it goes, i ir onlv ri em on stratine* that if vou start' d out to do anything there must be co-1 b operation of all concerned to bring a about results. b We were just reading an editorial d in *the Christian Advocate where Dr.' n Kirkland says there has been a decided falling off in April and May,1 p the subscription months for the' 1< weekly and country paper, in the s amount of subscriptions paid com- -t n pared with other years for the samejl months. There was not that cooper-jO ation necessary to bring results. Thejs Advocate was going but the sub-ja scribers were not coming, there was not that cooperation necessary. |D Now we have not said anything jh about subscriptions for several t i months, either in the paper or per-,3 sonally, because we have not felt J jthat we had been making a paper i( i such as we would like to make and t [could not ask any one to pay up. n But we desire to express our appreciation of the fine cooperation and jn loyalty of our big family.- But, d Now we are beginning to make a paper and we must ask our members -i1 to come along and do their part by paying the small subscription which ! m 'e are charging if they desire to emain in the family. The governlent says we must not continue to end the paper unless you pay for it, nd we can not do it any way, beause it takes lots of money to run paper these days and we must have he small amount of price we ask in he way of subscription. You must ooperate by paying something if * -?- - * ^ TIT A Vl/tTTA yiAf AAV_ our unit; is uuu n c no?c uuu tweeted our list in several weeks, but rill do so very soon now andvUnless ou get in good standing we will be orced to part with you, very much o our regret, so we trust that you ,'ill cooperate by attending to this ittle matter at once. Cooperation is the word which pells success in this day and we ^ant to have the cooperation of our ig family in the making of a good aper for Newberry. The paper is ] edicated to the betterment of the j onrilo r\f fViic pftmmnit.v and this ! WV/J7AV V4. WA&AW , I aunty. It is your paper and it j lall be just as good as you will take it by your hearty cooperation.

A magnificent lion one time met a.; ttle mouse whose home was being j ttacked by a wild cat. The lion im- j - AJ ?/>+ f A - 4*1^ A i Leaiaieiy ciiascu mc cab uiw wv f ffing and protected the mother! touse until her brood could be \ Loyed to a safe hiding place. Some time later the lion became iught in a net and would have periled had not the little mouse hapened along and gnawed the ropes t two, releasing the lion. A fable, yet one that possesses a 1 tighty lesson for all of us. No man or woman ever becomes ) powerful that he or she can afford 1 ) snub or ignore the person who is : ;ss fortunate in his accumulatioin; f-the material things of this world, i Then, t<|0, there is that democracy 1 America which may make the un-! r\f tnHflu thp lion tomor-; V* vv V4V.J ? ? 3W. From a purely selfish standpoint, ; pays to .be nice to everybody.?: treenville Piedmont. And the man who is riding in the: hariot today may be rolling . the rheelbarrow tomorrow. When we i < lace our basis of greatness on mon-j y we do not know where we may j urn up. The fortune goddess is j ery fickle. She may woo us today: nd tomorrow we may be the sub-1 set of her scorn. And besides, if we are going to j leasure things by the commercial j ard-stick it pays *to be kind and j ourteous and helpful. We may not j je it today, and we may indulge our j aser natures and gloat oyer the fail- j re of our neighbor and rejoice in j is mishaps and downfall, but tomor5W may be his turn to laugh. There is a good and true saying in le good Book something like this: I F you cast your bread upon the1 aters it will return after many ( owe and sometimes the davs are i ot so many. We very frankly admit that it is : eyond our mind to conceive how so ! lany people worship at the shrine of i old. Money is a good thing to have 1 this day and time, and we supose was a good thing in any day, at just to want morjey for its own ike never broadens ox develops the! est that is in us, and only tends to i warf and make small the soul of lan.

'he man who is blessed with wealth f silver and gold and misuses it will ome day find that it was like a rock round his neck. And then to be nice osts so little, and makes you feel so auch better, we can hot understand iow any one can be otherwise, uut here are some such, and unfortun.tely they are not a few. We have always been of the opinon that it was one defect of our eaching in the schools that we did iot teach the importance of being dee, or in other words we should lay riore stress upon manners than we lo.
