SURE NEWBERRY IS THE PLACE By H. G. Alewine, Newberry, S. C. Mr. Editor: Kindly allow me a little space in your valuable paper, ^ which I believe the readers* will en^ joice in reading. The subject is an answer to that piece of poetry which I had the pleasure of reading in your Tuesdav edition: "NEWBERRY IS THE PLACE." Sure, the man that wrote it knew what he was talking about when he wrote it. W For Listen! The board of health is sure on the job. Hogs parading up and down the streets, rooting up everything that they happen to come in contact with, even to the side walk. But stop. Isn't it against the law I -of Newberry to let live stock out and destroy property, and other things. r If so, why not enforce the law. But let's come to some pure health. Some few weeks ago, (say two), a Vtnrl nr email as he wishes to be called, was riding along in a fine auto and his burden was too k heavy for the engine, so he threw p"* over board a big dead cat in the road in front of a dwelling house. "Can l you beat it?" Say, what do you think of that? Yes, it happened on Drayton street, near the Farmers Oil W mill. That was two (2) weeks ago and that dead cat never came to life and walked otf. So it is still at the same place that it was thrown out. .Strange thincrs haDDen -that the health officers never see. I - thought autos were made for humans to ride in and not for a dead cat ambulance, but that's what that man was using his machine for. So you bet your life we don't have to use powder and cologne but just stick your head out of the door and ah! what sweet perfume. Funny the trash wagon never * comes around. The wagon must be broke down or the driver dead. But today we as Newberrians rejoice because we have a new mayor at the head of the town. (Not as "%ve criticize tiic iuiiiici majvi., im, Wright.) We believe our new mayor Hon. Eugene S. Blease, will help us out in our little troubles. We also "have a new health office, Mr. T. S. -Matthews. We believe Mr. Matthews will find that dead cat if he never finds anythings else and we hope he wffl. With Mr. E. S. Blease at the head and Mr. Matthews at the horns, Tiro are entisfiprf that thev will not allow a dead cat or a living hog to remain or run on the streets of New* berry. Now gentle readers, or otherwise, whichever the case may be. The next is the most important of all, and the one that each man should consider -TBQSt. j Each and every SaSturday the streets of Newberry are packed and jammed with negroes, it is almost impossible for a white lady to walk up Main street without being pushed off. And if that isn't a disgrace to Newberry there is not a town in South Carolina that bears a mark of disgrace. Yes, a disgrace. * How many men of this town want I his wife pushed and knocked about J * on the streets and perhaps knocked off, by trying to get up and down the street, because a negro meets his 4 Ani>cin onrJ lronfi! f/s ef/vr> lit thp (4t>u 'laiira w uvvy iu jniddle of the Street *i*d talk about Cousin Ann and Bro. Bill ana etc. If there is such a man in Newberry he doesn't deserve a wife and she should be taken away from him and he should be run out of town. What do ywu say? j "But, Mr. Writer," I seem to hear j some of the officials say, 'the merchants kick about n^ning them off I the streets, it runs away the trade." j T17L!^L? J/N "An AAWA Af f -Pav ttamv I - YYIUVII uu %yv;ci vaic xjuvot, iui ^vui trade or your wife? Answer me. So let them kick. Any man that wants xhe negro to block the streets in front of his store so that his wife, daughter or his neighbor's wife or daugter can not pass. Only a few days ago I saw an old "lady, perhaps 65 years old, walking in the road because the streets were iblocked. Perhaps it was some merchant's mother. If not it was some one's mother. Would you like to see your mother walking in the road to 1 ? A _ A ?ive a negro ?:re?t What are the police for? What are they paid for? I understand they received a raise. If so raise the streets ar.d clean off the black clouds that have darkened Newberry many long years. I believe our Honorable Mayor E. S. BleaSO US') our health officer are +1^ r?r? ait thpv can to helD out I SVilljj J 4 in the way I have suggested. Clean the streets so that white and colored iTiay walk in peace. Mr. Chief, see that this is done and I assure you a "better town. Don't forget the dead cat. A Yours for a prospel'dttfc Newberry. NEWS OF EXCELSIOR.
