||eriiK) anD Jem KlUr?d ?t the Postoffica at New 9. C., at 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, July 26, 1921. GEO. S. MOWER I do not hesitate to say that in th death of Geo. S. Mower this commun ity has lost the best citizen-it hac in those things which count most i the making of a citizen. He was gentl and kind, yet firm in his conviction and opinions, charitable in all of hi actions and deeds, and never vaunte - * ? * M A 1 His acts 01 cnamy to oe seen 01 mer He never spoke unkindly of his fel lowman, and I do not believe eve thought unkindly of any one. No man who ever lived in this com munity has helped as many peopl who needed help as Geo. Mower, an he never by word or sign made an one of them feel that he was unde obligation to him. There are peopl who will help yoa when you need i1 but they will also continually remin you of what they have done for you but not Geo. Mower. I fee! and know that in his deaf I have lost the best friend I ev.er hac and that his like will never come m; > way again. In fact I always had feeling that he was part of The Her aid and News. He has helped to tid it over many a hard place in the roac and if sometime there should be a editorial with which he did not agree never a word from him to try to in fluence the opinion of the editoi Such men are rare and far between pity it is. I never went to him in a] our acquaintance and friendship fo a favor or for help, and came awa; empty handed. And he would alway be so pleasant and nice about wha he did and so unselfish. , Such a man should be called great and is a great man. And not simpl; because he helmed me do I sav this but he has treated hundreds of other in the same manner, and no one wil ever know what he has done, but th recipients of his goodness and him self. r Pity that such a man so useful t his fellowman, and so generous ii his helping hand, should have die But that is the fate of all mortals but Geo. Mower will be remembere for what he has unselfishly done t help those who really needed help Sometimes he has been imposed upon but he never grumbled or complamei r- s * > "Fading away like the stars of th morning, > Losing their light in the gloriou sun? Thus would we pass from the eart anrt its fnil inor MiiU ibJ Only remembered by what we hav done. "Oh, when the Saviour shall make u; his jewels, When the bright crowns of rejoicin are won; Then shall His weary and faithfi disciples All be remembered by what they hav done." . ?. tl. A. I GALA WEEK Next week Newberry is to put o her gala attire and her company dres and manners nd she invites all th good people round about to come an spend three or four days with he: A . * 1_ J x Amusements 01 various Kinus are i be provided, and it shall be the ir tention of all the people to cooperat in chasing dull care to the bushes. This is not meant to convey the ide . tnat Newberry does not at all timt put on good manners and keep dres: ed up and smiling and welcoming th stranger as well as the neighbor, bi y ' . ? you know even the best of good hous< wives will sometimes fix up just a lr tie when they expect to have con pany. And we expect to have lo1 of company next week, and you wi all be most heartily welcome amongst us. Come, we want you t come and spend the day with us. The merchants are going to dre.< up their stores and they are going t sell you some staple and every da merchandise at prices which you ha\ not heard quoted since before the wa And it is good stuff that they havi and none of your shelf worn me: ac * chandise that they want to fool yo here to put off on you. But wheth( you want to buy or not come rig! * along and have a good time with u There will be concerts by the bam and there will be other sorts of ei tertainment that will make the da Jr Ik i or the days pleasant for you. We do i J not visit as oft?r. as we should. We ^ are all in too big a hurry. We have | no time for such pleasant pastime. We i " must ride in our automobile. We are ; I all restless. We must be moving i - about all the while. That is all right 1 I j in a way, but we should have time ^ ~ to get acquainted with one another,^ and to do so we must sit in one an- J other's front porches and talk to- i I gether and be social and it will help,] all of us. Now the good people of." j i 4 ; this town invite you to come and 1, spend the day with them next week,'; t n and we will all talk together and i e, trade together and have a real good 1 s' ' 1 , time and forget about the boll wee- ' Si | ! ^ | vil and the hard times and the scari. city of money. And that reminds u? ] 1- to sav that the federal bank has made i 1 I r the announcement, or somebody up; I' i there at Washington, that the war | ^; board will have all the money that j 1 will be neceessary to open trade with 1 i ,1 v the countries that need what we have 1 ! i r to sell, but have not the money, and < e I this board is authorized to extend the 1 .''credit jvhich %/ill mean a market for " < . cotton, corn and wheat and the other things, and we notice that Mr. Man- < h j ning who has just returned from : '?! abroad says that Germany fias ar^ ranged to buy a whole lot of cotton a ^ 1 and that business is reviving ever i e.there, and this should make us feel i I, good, and while it is not particularly ] i n on the line we started out to write " i about, yet if these statements are ' tViic unll V??ln vprv larcplv to . u ui. ???? ">-*r ? . ?o--tf -- , i . i make next week a real gala week in I 11 Newberry. Credit is what these peoI ? r pie over the seas, who are starving, y need, and they will go to work and s - pay us, too, and that is the reason we have felt that the ouly way to get the channels of trade open and the i y, ships moving was for the government '' to do it, and so arrange the thing that c j .the world might be fed and clothed. , . i In this day of quick transportation e I _iand the world being as near together j as it is there is no reason why one 1 0 part of it should have such an abun- * 11 dance- that all business is stagnant, i.| : land another part starving and freez- , *? i (j ing for the actual necessities. Some- \ o thing wrong and the revival of the < >. | war board will help largely in clear- 1 !',ing the channel and putting the ships ' to sailing. 'j e " So let us all get together next week ( and have a real good time and forget 1 ** - * ITT J 1 J jduil care for the time, weanesaay, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, four jdays, the band will play and the town i e will be dressed up and the welcome ( will be just a little more soul-stirring ] than on ordinary occasions and every 'D one will extend the glad hand just 4 a a little more strongly and we will all 1 O | have a good time together, with one , il' another. j: j And then look out for the next two 5 e issues of The Herald and News and learn where you can find the things you want to buy at the prices that ] will remind you of the days before < the war, when a dollar will do double J n duty' | But whether you want to buy or not j 'come to see us and we will take a e * * 1 1 I drink ol good iNewDerry waiei iu- ( ? gether in a friendly social sort of , 'way, and talk about the good old days i I . and the better aays that are to come. ^ I mm The news from Washington is that (Mr. Joe Tolbert will be the man who ! 3. ' jwill have the say as to appointments !S, in this state by the government at , s-! Washington under the republican ad- . e I ministration. We said the same some ^ I time ago. We felt satisfied that the .'republicans had more good judgment (than to take up some of the men who h i ^ L"jhad been named as controlling the i-| patronage and who had been in times cs(past high in the democratic fold. 11 ? d FAMILY REUNION .0 I am a believer in family reunions. I feel that after the family has grown 1 to manhood and womanhood and set up homes of their own, and may be '?,widely scattered, that it is well for, y, the brothers and sisters to get togethe'er occasionally at the old home and r i be boys and girls once more. I think e ! it is conducive to loyalty and that1 family loyalty is one of the sweetest r" and best things in this old world. It. ujis always a pleasure to me to see it, ?r|and I always delight in commending, family loyalty. I love to see brothers' , (and sisters stick to one another, and, leven sometimes if one of the memSjbers of the family has strayed away 1_,just a little, stand by him or her and iy help him to get vj- his feet once' i i iiore. The family, the home, is the'o sasis or foundation of our govern- ,1 nent and patriotism and love of coun- S try must start there, and the govern-'o ment rests on love of family and loyi ilty of family. I notice that my, friend Greene in his Abbeville Press h ind Banner has a paragraph in which f le rather lightly speaks of family re-11 anions, and especially refers to the > jreat number of these gatnermgs tnat a le finds in Newberry. He says, "This in s the open season for family reunions d in Newberry county and the editors i< and speechmakers are in their glory; d also in clover." I am glad that there v are many of these gatherings, and I a am always glad to print something t An -Crw orkoor?Vi malnnp* n 1UUUI IIIC III. aa x. \j i. o?/\*wv,*a 0 :here has not been so much of that c it any of them so far as I have ob- c served, but if there has been it is all n right. The more of them we have the | n better we are for the having. \b js Feeling this way about it I have not t only encouraged it in other families t but have had several in my family, j ii A.nd especially are they pleasant and!a nelnful so lone: as the father and mo- Jf Cher are living, and even when one ' 3r both have passed it is pleasant and i Drofitable for the brothers and sisters n :o come together, and it is more pleas- !I ant if the reunion can be had at the' a Did home place where the happy, days t jf childhood "were spent. And it is not . c advisable to wait too long to begin v with the reunion. I suggested t the reunion in.my father's and mo-1 ;her's family a few years ago, and we have found the gatherings not omy J pleasant but profitable. We havej seen blessed in many respects beyond > q many families, but mainly and chief-|f ly in that father and mother are both I s living and in good health and in pos- (_ session of all their physical and men- v tal faculties, and they have reached' j :he more than four-score years which'}( may be had by reason of strength.! t rhere were seven children born to J f :hem, and all but one are living, and c :he one that has passed died in infan- ^ :y some sixty years ago. We have g 1 ~ Ana rr o "f"V? or. I naae lllC fiiOIL LO nave mcot guvuki j ings on the anniversary of the mar- f riage, the 22nd of May, but have had g to vary the date to meet conditions, j e This year it was two months late11 awing to the sickness of the mother v it the time. I am grateful and thankful to the All^wise Ruler that they n lave been spared to us all these years. [ have extended the invitations beyond the immediate family, that is to say to the nephews and nieces and { :heir husbands and wives, and of _ a course to some friends, and they have v ill seemed to enjoy the gatherings, ^ >o much so that it is our purpose to <X continue these gatherings at least so long as the parents are spared to us. -j 3niy four of the children could be ihere this ?ear, much to the regret of ill of us. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Aull ^ ind Rev. and Mrs. W. B. Aull and children were absent, Dr. and Mrs. W.| W. Daniel were there, though their; children could not come. Mr. and! ; Mrs. L. B. Aull were present though! their son was absent. Mr. and Mrs.' \. D. Timmerman live at the old home with father and mother, and of my family the oldest son John K. Aull and his wife and daughter were kept away by the rain, and my youngest a son Humbert Aull could not leave his1, ivork at Winston-Salem. Altogether ^ though it was a very happy occasion, i Except in mv family the death angel ... a has not visited in any 01 tne iammes f of the children, and so we have been ? r greatly blessed. j j . The old home was in Edgefield but!? it is now in Greenwood county, though it is at the same place. When the crounty of Greenwood was formed this section of Edgefield was cut into the new county. The first home was down here in Newberry county near Jolly Street, at what I call the Aull Hills, where my grandfather settled about 1825, the house that now stands1 there was built in 1832 and he had lived there for several years before i this house was built. My father's family moved to Edgefield, the pres-' ent home, abcut 1872 or 1873. The old home down at Jolly Street has been in the family around one hun-' dred years. i 1 can not take a trip without a word or two about the roads. The road to. Deadfall is being built, and the builders of this road do not do any flushing as they go, so I decided on Thursday afternoon that 1 would go out the Longshore road to Longshores and then at the Burton or ? Workman place come back to the highway at Mr. R. C. Neel's and this 1 did and made the trip all right, but work is also going on out the Longshore road, the only difference being some of the tuat tlllO L<U11UV i ? road as he goes along, .and you do not have so many rough place. I struck the highway without any trouble and i want to say again that so far as I have been able to observe the road j from Silverstreet on toward Chap-: pells as far as built is among the best j of the new roads in the county, and j it will be a great pleasure to go to the j hi home when this road is finished. | tl 'he road from the river on to Ninety b iix is as fine as you care to travel t( ver. j st J hi I noticed that the signs or markers tl ad been placed at the crossings or'ti orks of the roads in Greenwood, and. a hat there at Dyson the distance to dewberry is put down at 23.4 miles,! nd as I thought that was wrong I' ' < ? * 1 _ to* iatle a measurement myseii ami xne " istance from this place to Newberry h 5 just 25.5 miles and that makes the : istance to Newberry from Green-u .rood only 40 miles, 25 miles less than : b round by Laurens. That is counting ir he distance by way of Silverstreet j nd Deadfall, and when the road is ompleted it may be shortened to j onform to the sign, because a good I i i j tl lany curves nave ueen uihcu wui, aim .0 doubt many more will be cut out efore the road reaches the river that eparates the two counties. But ^ hese signs are good things, they help $ he stranger to find "..is way and then & t is always a comfort in traveling in ^ . strange land to know the distance rom place to place. ^ * 1 1 o_i. J "V I came Dac-K nome on oaiuiuay iior^ing and while the road from " )eadfall to Newberry had many holes .nd rough places one could endure hese without murmur * because he ould see the evidence that meant J ^ ery soon there would be a road out j ^ his way. j ^ E.
