OLD SCENES AND FACES
OF LONG AGO RECALLED
I
Memory is a wonderful thing, and
it is pleasant to recall the scenes |
$nd faces of the long ago especially
when it brings to mind friends that
w01*e tuna ttiiu n uc anu ov?ufc>>
had a happy setting. 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

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

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

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\

*
! 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

? 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.

CENSUS OF CITIES
READY BY SUMMER1

Washington, D. C., Expected to Be '

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.

Dr. R. M. Brame, discoverer of
Brame's Vapomentha Salve, has a
letter from C. C. Wright, Superintendent
of the Wilkes County, N. C.,
Public Schools, in which he says: "We
have used Brame's Vapomentha Salve
for nearly all the ills for which it is
prescribed and have always secured i
satisfactory results. If used in time !
it nns npver failed to break up colds, j
usually the forerunner of Grippe, I
Influenza and Pneumonia. ... I j
speak from personal observation. 11
believe if this preparation is used in!
time it will prevent development of |
pneumonia in every instance, if used (
according to directions."
These strong statements are fully j
justified by the remarkable recoveries !
that follow. Brame's Vapomentha
Salve is applied freely over the chest
and throat and inserted in each nosloaded.

the action working smoothly all the

"Do not fail to keep a gun dry. Oil
it if it becomes wet to keep it from

used.
'Everyone should know how to
use a gun and if one is taught right j

Criticism.
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. He reached the '
