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

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

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."

; 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- '

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

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

_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- *

o thing wrong and the revival of the <

jwill have the say as to appointments

e I ministration. We said the same some

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

: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

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

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 $

t is always a comfort in traveling in ^

It. klso has another value measured t.Jy >

of this value.
This latter value is put, into the car by the
