Some people are foolish enough to believe that it is a sign of old age when one loves to dwell on the events and the friends of the long ago. There may be something in that, but I believe that the man or the woman who does not at times take pleasure in dwelling on the things and the men and women who have come into the life as the years glided along is lacking in some of the elements that go to mnlrp nn the best tvoe of man or woman. The truth is, we need at all times in these strenuous days to inculcate and to impress the importance of more of the finer sentiments which go to make up and are a parti of the best type of citizen. The tendency of the age is toward com- > mercialism and a worship of money; and things material, and no age can j grow the right sort of man or wo- i man that thinks and dwells to too ! 1 iLwinfnviol 1 great a aegree un uimgo manual. > There is something else far and i above things of a material nature,: and that are essential to the. mak- , ing of a life that is worth while. That something is a finer sentiment, a sentiment that has regard for the feelings of the other fellow, that is willing on occasion to put yourself in the other fellow's place and ask how you would like to be treated if you were he and he was you. In other words, the thing that this world needs today above everything: else, and that would settle many of the ( big problems that the wise men are ! discussing is to recall the Golden Rule and to put it into every day practice in our every day life. If that were done there would be no! need of a peace treaty or of a league of nations or of any legislation, or , any jails or penitentiaries because: then all the things that make for; trouble and for disagreements and dissensions would be settled on the, great principle laid down therein, i Anc3 "o it is you must at times dwell * A 1 - 1 on the great events ana tne goou men and women who have gone on j before, and it is well that memory gives and grants you that privilege, j because it. is a great privilege. But all this is apart from the story! I started out to write. I had oc- j casion in connection with my du-! * ? +lm unticim to i ties <15 supei V1SUI Ui UJI, I.VI1UUU .V , go to Abbeville the other clay, and in order to make the trip as the rail- j road schedules are now I had to , spend the day, and I was glad of the j opportunity. It took only a little | while to get through with the busi- j ness I had and a good dinner at the Eureka hotel now run by Mrs. Taggart, and I might add that this is one of the good and homelike hotels where one delights to stop. When you enter you are greeted as if they were glad that you came. And you are made to feel at home. I j have often wondered why all per-: sons who are in public places did not cultivate more of that pleasant man- 1 ner and kindly spirit which makes one feel comfortable, and I do not believe that any one has a moral right to accept any public position i where he comes in contact with hu-1 man beings, who can not be polite and courteous at all times. If he can not he should go out and plow a mule and keep away from contact with the human family. It is a big asset to be able to be courteous at all times and make others feel at ease in your presence. My first work after I lef<" college wrs as a school teacher in root? o- ! '>?vr. of Albsvi!]-*. r-*o":drrt D. B. Johnson, ro\' ot" ' 5 1c r>. ^ *as the pr nripnl oi ill ? ho an'? MLs Lucy White v: were the assistants. It was one of 1 the most delightful years of my life,1 the ten months I spent in Abbeville. And the school work was pleasant. The boys and the girls were all of I gentle bearing and knew something of the amenities of life, and it was a pleasure to teach them. And many of the boys and girte from that school have made their mark in the world i in whatever sphere they may have | been called, and the mark has been i | a creditable one. And I have re joiced in their success and have always and at all times felt a pardonable pride in their progress in life and in their unfolding into greater and bigger and better men and women. Some of them are railroad presidents and some cotton mill presidents and some great lawyers and some of them trusted and popular State and county officials and others physicians <and merchants and business men. But then they had the right sort of blood coursing through ! their veins, and as a good old kinsman of mine once told mc, pedigree I in men and women would tell even as in the lower animals. It was a beautiful afternoon, just like a Southern spring day, the day that I was in Abbeville, last Friday. I concluded that I would stroll around all alone and see if I could find any familiar places, and call on a few of the friends of those days who still remain in the old town. Naturally the first place I sought out was the house and the place where I lived and where I took the bride of my youth, then the home of Dr. Edwin Parker, the home being presided over by his daughter, Miss Ellen Parker. She afterwards became the wife of Mr. Norwood, and I was told was still living in Abbeville, though I failed to see her. I called at the home where she lives but she had gone out. I am sorry that I missed Uay. Kononco T cVtall nlwavs remem 11U14) uv/vaugv W*?%?* ?? ?. ? ber her great kindness to me and mine. The old Parker mansion still i stands very much as it did in the i days that are gone, and alongside it | stands the Episcopal church and the i manse just as they were the long I ago. A Mr. Bowie I was Ntold now 'owns the Parker mansion and lives there. I was tempted to go in and ask permission to visit once more the rooms but Ia,$PgohadPGatf-JJJO ?"L?+ T n/i/iimia/-) TjrViort T 1 ivpr? ruoiiis mai. i. ucv-ujjivu - - - - ? there, but I did not. The Episcopal chui'ch is a handsome building and I understand a new and modern manse has been erected. It might be interesting to some in this day of high prices and demand for more pay for teachers, and the demand is proper, that I received the munificent salary of $35 per month for teaching in this school at Abbeville, but then Miss Ellen boarded the two of us for $20 per month and we managed to get along, as we were just starting and expecting to get an increase the next year and it did come in a way, that is the contract called for it. I stoma Vpwhprrv the following ses VCUiit VV A* V ?? w sion to teach in the college. The next scene that attracted my attention on this stroll was the old school house, or the place where it once stood. The old building has been torn away and a new and modern building now occupies the same place. This building has been there for several years, and there is in another part of the town the high school. And the schools now have several teachers. The beautiful woodland which stood in the rear of the school building has given way to the march of population, and there J 1 are now rows ot new ana muucm homes all along new streets that have been opened in the days that have come since then. But the grounds have a familiar look and the old Burt home still stands just across the street in the apex of the trinagle. j This is the house in which it is said that Jefferson Davis held his last /?ohin?t But the main i V UK/iUVV i*4V V... - ? I street in front of the school building is being beautifully paved with cement and bithulithic andthis adds not only to the comfort of the people who travel this way but also to the beauty of the surroundings. i Just a short way on the same street | where once stood the Presbyterian church now stands a magnificent structure which I was told was the Baptist church, and the Presbyterians built on the other corner of the same lot after their building was destroyed by fire when the elegant home of Justice McGowan was destroyed. In the days of which I am writing the Baptists had a mission at this place and a small brick church around the corner. The Methodist have erected a new building but it and the parsonage are at the same place, j o ! I called to see Chief Justice Gary and found him in his study among law books writing opinions. Judge Gary is interested in the human side of the law and the ethics of the nro70. ?on ar.'! has done much tow.ird j'rt-.!* 'V"!",'"" c^h'C- "f the ?::p\ i o /' r f *" * * ! to be guided by what is right and ' just between man and man rather than the technical precedents which may be found in decisions which were ' rendered by learned judges of another generation and amid different I j conditions. He has also delivered j ; many addresses which have been j j quoted very largely in this and for- j | eign lands, and they are authority i jon many live subjects because when \ he undertakes to make an address he | studies the subject thoroughly and | speaks from the record. One of his ; addresses has been printed in the jlaw reports by request of the bar, j something: that is without precedent j in the State. When I was in Abj beville Judge Gary was a young law.yer having but recently been ad-v j mitted to the bar and opened an office I in this good old town. I ?| j The bar is entirely a new bar at j j this time, both in person and na*e. I j In those days it was Parker and . j McGowan and Perrin and Cothran j J and then McGowan and Parker and j then Cothran and Perrin and so on, j but now there is not one of the name ' at the bar. Mr. William P. Greene, j | who also so ably edits me rress ana j j Banner, has possibly the largest prac- j tice at the bar at present. The same is true of the county officers. In those days Judge Fuller Lyon was! probate judge, Major Zeagler was clerk of court, Mr. DuPree was sheriff and Mr. Perrin was treasurer i and Mr. Gibert school commissioner j and I think Mr. mil was auditor. I remember Mr. Gibert because I had to stand an examination to get a certificate to teach. Jack Perrin is now clerk of the court. Jack went to school to me and he was a bright j i boy and they tell me he is the most j popular man in the county. Dick ; Sondley is the auditor, and you know j he is one of our Newberry men. I do' not recall the other county officers.! There has been built a new court! house and a fine city hall in which is! a large opera house, but I have not' seen any court house that is better than the one at Newberry for the same money, and as for the jail we havs the finest in the state. ! I spent a very pleasant half hour ^ with Dr. J. L. Martin. When I was j in Abbeville he was the pastor of' !the Presbyterian church. He says that he had to retire from the active ministry because of his nealtn, due that he must preach and that from the waist up he is stronger and more vigorous than ever in his life, though \ he told me he was 82 years old some time during the first of the present month. He has made a special study < of Revelations and the Apocalypse i c-VinTir^ mp tVirpe sermons from 1 anu cuv u vu ?... texts from these books that he had < prepared during the week that I was 1 there. He doesn't talk like a man who was weak in any particular and i certainly mentally he is as vigorous as any one who has not half as many ; years behind him as Dr. Martin. I | had not seen him in many years. He ' i was probably instrumental in my go| ing to Abbeville to teach, having ! known of some of the name by the marriage of his sister to Mr. John, i Peaster, formerly of this county, I whose sister married James H. Aull.; j I have a Bible now which was the gift; ; of the two children of Dr. Martin, a i Kainnr a TMinil Doy tinci ix me gi;x i of mine. The ?ift came on the 14th ; of February, 1881, and on the fly leaf j written by Dr. Martin are the words: ; "See Ruth 1:16 and 17.'^ | i ?o? ; i Another family that made a home for me was the family of Mr. J. D. j . Chalmers. Mrs. Chalmers was one i ? * mi. ' . of^the best women 1 ever Knew, mey , would not board me, but let me have ,1 a room at their house, and rarely a : day passed that good Mother Chal- j mers failed to have some dainty dish j ' for me when I came in in the even- j I ing. I will never forget these good people. They had two daughters and one son. The daughters died several years ago and the son, James Chal- : mers, died only a short time ago, be- ' ing treasurer of Abbeville county at the time of his death. The home in : which they lived has passed into other hands and a new and more elaborate 1 mansion now stands on the spot. j At the time of which I write Gen. Hemphill was the editor of the Abbe- ' ville Medium and Mr. Hugh Wilson of < the Press and Banner, the same two papers which are now published in ' the town. Mr. William P. Greene is the editor and proprietor of the Press and Banner and his wife is the daughter of Gen. Hemphill. Mr. E. C. Hor- 1 ton is the editor and proprietor of i the Medium. The first newspaper j i. t ??/?? woe mi flip Medium ' \\U I XV X C?Ci uiu v.* - when Gen. Hemphill went away on a trip of a couple weeks, he asked me to write the editorials and other mat- ' ter for the paper. I remember that during the time Judcre Thomas Thompson a citizen of Abbeville r.rd an eminent jurist and a circuit iud~e at the time d:ed. and one cf the first thirds th-'1" T h"d. to do to write a .dc^tth c.f h*~ !'? : for the ?-T vdin James S. Cothrnn who wis ] i] r: th--> solicitor of the circuit suc. i"?* ,r** T) T*'^ ei*"^^n on n ? I by appointment of the governor. J Both the Abbeville papers have; linotype machines of course, and the j Press and Banner has two. and the i reason for mentioning in this connec- j tion is to say that the Press and Ban-1 ner is using the electric pot and Ijj was told that it bought current at 2; 1-2 cents the kilowat hour, and here! it costs us 8 cents, though Mr. Wal-1 lace tells me that he pays only 6 ; cents, it may be on account of using j more of the current than The Herald j and News, but the bill for the cur- j rent month for The Herald and j News is 8 cents, but even at 6 cents I the question that we want to ask is j why the difference even between 6 and 2 1-2 cents. Can not the commissioners of public works in Newberry | sell the "juice" at the same rate that j it is sold in Abbeville. Some one says j that Abbeville has a special contract i and that only one other town has as; cheap a rate. I believe that town is j Greenwood. Certainly there should I not be such a great difference. There j should be a reason. I notice that j efforts are to be made to get a j i cheaper rate in Newberry so that the! "juice" may be used for cooking and { heating. I hope the effort may be j successful. And then I want Mayor Blease and j his council to take a party of the Newberry business men over to this little town when the street paving is completed and let them see what sort of streets are being builded, and I see that the delegation in the legislature is going to let the people of the county vote on issuing $600,000 in bonds for road building. In recent years two counties have been cut off j fvsvvn AkKovillo rirppnwood and Mc-1 i.1 Uiil Cormick, but the old county is still alive and moving forward. ?o? Maybe I should not have written all of this about another county, and i maybe it will not interest the readers! of The Herald and News, but I just j couldn't help it and here it is. If you do not care to read it why just j pass it up. fcj. Jti. A. | ? CENSUS OF CITIES READY BY SUMMER1 i Washington, D.

W aSIUIIglUII, oau. ~\J. -rviUIUU.H.V- : ment of the population of practical-! ly all cities of the country by May ! or June an dthe total population of j the entire country in September or | October is the expectation of the J director of the census, Sam L. Rogers, j Population statistics of some of j the cities probably will be complet-1 ed by March or earlier. Washington,! D. C., is expected to be the first, as j it was in the thirteenth census in j 1910. In that year it was taken { April 15, and announced June 24, j Rhode Island's population in 1910 j was announced first of the states on July 21. New York City's population was announced September 2, Boston's, September 14, and Chicago's, September 18. The cent r of population, Bloomington, Ind., was announced July 17,1 and the country's total population; was made public December 10. "lfiG enumerauoii is m throughout the entire country," said Mr. Rogers today. "Advices from the supervisors indicate that during ; the first week of the work at least j 70,000 enumerators were started. ' i "We find that in some districts it : I will be necessary to postpone the ! enumeration because of weather con- ! ditions. There has been no opposi- j tion to furnishing the information | requested by the enumerators. "The supervisors report the com-1 pletion of the enumeration in many i districts, and as rapidly as the enu- j merators turn in their portfolios they ! are being examined in the office of | supervisor and are being put in shape i to come to Washington, i ne supervisors have been instructed to send the , schedules as rapidly as consignments ; can be made ready. We therefore ' naturally expect a large amount of the work to reach the office in Wash- j ington during the latter part of this : month or the first of February, but; is a general rule the enumeration will j be completed throughout the entire I country by the first of February. It will be some time, however, before it will be finished in the districts where it has been postponed on account of climate conditions. Gun Etiquette. Gun etiquette is strictly regarded by the good sportsman and hunter.! Robert S.

Once upon a time a man who lived in a valley made a bet with the valley critic that he could carry an armful of eels up a high hill. The wager was taken, and the whole village was invited to witness the feat. The man ascended with a hundred 1 live eels in his arms, but nearing the top, v/eary and broken with the al- ; most superhuman attempt to keep the wiggling eels in his possession two or ; three eels slipted from his arm? and ; fell to the ground.
