ELBER~T H. AULL, EDITOP. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. - WM. P. HOUSE AT., NEWBERRY, S. C. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1691. HERE AND THERE. Reflections by a Herald and News Man A Ride with Governor Tillman-Head Lines and Head Gear-Peak, Alston, Union-Other Random Thoughts. I have let the ink dry on my pen two or three times in the effort to evolve a suitable headline for what I pronose to write in this column. It may be that I hardly know what I will write, or it may be that headline writing is not my fort. That reminds me that a headline writer is a very important factor in any newspaper. Some people never read anything but the headlines. Some people then don't like to have others to put a headline to what they write. Then some people form their opinion of what an article is from the headline, even after they have read it for them selves. On the whole the head of any animal is a very important adjunct. Some people form their opinions of men by the appearance of their heads. Talking about heads and headlines reminds me of head-gear, or to be more particular, of hats and bonnets. I was a certain church in Newberry a few Sanday evenings back, and a very pretty young lady sat just in front of me with one of those modern hats on the back of her head about the size of the bottom of a half bushel measure 1 We11, I could not seea thing in frontof me, not even the head of the preacher, and which ever way I turned my gaze - that hat was there. Now, .I love those big basts and a pretty, blushing young girl looks doubly pretty and sweet in front of one of them, but I hope when I am at church or the theatre and want to see in front of me that I will not get behind one. But I am not complain ing It is contrary to my nature and ":I was' never known to do such a thing, -and I hope all the young girls will just continue to look as sweet as they can. Waiting for a delayed train in the city of Alston is not the best thing I ever heard of to give one an even tem per,and, as our Prosperity correspon dentwouldsay,is not calculated to make one "happy and serene." But such 'was my luck last Saturday. I wanted to go to Union and. return the same -day. If all trains were on time I would only have one hour and forty minutes at Union. The train going to Union on this occasion was announced one .hour late. Well, I endured the wait in patience. The operator announced Sme as some cor'solation that the train coming down was 353 minutes late at Saluda and would be unable to make up any time. Reader did you ever ob terve that in all the bitters of life there was some sweettlNever a night so dark but there was a star somewhere. And never a day so cloudy but the beautiful blue sky could be seen somewhere. So in all the troubles of life there is a ray of hope somewhere piercing through the dark and lowering clouds. - Well, I got to Union, had about an hour or more, saw my man, got a good dinner and returned. But I did not - wait ;at Alston for the Laurens train, Ubut went on throngh to Columbia and returned. That may seem like ex travagance to some people to do all that riding, but I could not stand the idea of another wait at Aiston. I have nothing against Alston, but it is not a place at which I like to wait for a train. Then you know there is only one ~-~ thing in which the country editor bears any resemblance to, or can at all be classed, among, the statesmen and big men of the country. ~Would you like to know what that is? Well most of us have "annuals" or "quarterlies." The -only difference is the editor pays for his in advertising, while, I presume, ~e statesman is supposed to be made more tender, or gracious, or sympa thetic in his dealings with those things sometimes called 'soulless' corporations, by the use of one of -those little "annu als." I have nothing at present to say agamnst these "soulless" corpolrations. Upon the whole I believe I have gen erally found them as ready to serve the public good as most individuals where personal interest came in. This thing of personal interest where one's pocketbook comes in-is a great -motive power. Did you ever think of it? A gentleman of my ac quaintance sometimes argues with me that man always is actuated from a ~selfsh motive in some way or other. I wvill leave that riddle for you to solve. As for myself, 1 am not so much of a pessimist as to believe any such stuff. ** I did not have much opportunity to see much of Union. But she is muddy. like some other towns I have seen. And it rained there, too, just like it has been doing in Newberry. But what little I saw I was well pleased with the appearance of things. * * I had almost forgotten to mention that I was also a part of this day in the city of Peak, the Lexington rival of Alston. It would have been inexcusa ble dereliction not to have mentioned Peak. She is a considerable town. Has a newspaper and does a good mercantile business, and has a large and flourish ing school, and a beautiful new Luth er Church. Peak is a "dry" town, though she umed to be "wet." (Aiston I suppose is dry also.) I asked some of the business men how they liked the idea of having no whiskey sold. They seemed to be well pleased. Saturday is not as big a day as it used to be. _Everybody goes home now before dark and when night comes there is noth ing to disturb the quiet slumbers of the inhabitants save the steady rumbling of the muddy Broad as her waters rush on to the ocean. The police officer was sent -home when whiskey left as his services were no longer needed. T$e T quiet little town is "happy and serene." 1 wonder how Newberry would feel if n1o whiskey was sold here. I believe I would like to see the experiment tried. Then what would we do without the revenue? Why had you ever thought what a great)saving it would be to those who need their dimes most, and now spend them because it is convenient to do so. The license at Peak was $1,000 a year and she is getting on swimming ly without it. * On that delayed train going to Spar tanburg were Gov. Tillman and Mrs. Tillman and two of their children. The Governor was looking remarkably well considering the hard work he has been doing. and the additional fact that he has had the grip. He talked very pleasantly from Alston to Union, and I was glad I had the honor and pleas ure of his company. He was going to Spartanburg to take a little rest and to visit a relative. He returned to Colum bia on Monday. It is a big honor to be the Governor of a great State like South Carolina. I believe it was Governor Richardson who said it was as great an honor as to be President of the United States. But then when you think of the respon sibility and the great amount of labor, it takes away some of the sweetness. Then there is the annoyance one has by being bothered with the politicians who want to be rewarded for the ser vice they rendered in the campaign and there is no end to the importunities of these individuals-and the petitions for pardon and commutations, and all the other vexations of a public official. After all there is nothing like being a private citizen, doing your duty faith fully as you see it. But the politicians don't bother me in the least. Of course I don't please them all. In fact I don't try to please any of them. The editor has his ups and down, it is true, and they are many, but then how indepen dent one can feel of the politician. ** Talking about Peak and her news paper, I felt like I envied, (just a lit tle,) the editor of the Peak News. When he has to go away on business, to be absent a day or two, he just locks up the office and don't issue his paper until the next week. But when the editor, Mr. Bailey, told me that he was editor, foreman, printer, devil, press man, mailer, local, and everything else connected with the establishment, I felt like I would just as soon be what I was. ** On Monday afternoon I went to Co lumbia. But the first thing I know the reader will begin to think that I don't stay at home at all. Well, I went, and as I don't often bore you with my goings, I will write a little something about this trip. Then you know this is a hustling age-an "enterprising and progressive" age-and a fellow has got to dust around to keep up with it. Yes, I went to Columbia, and while there on Monday night, I went out to the Opera House to see John L. Sulli van, the champion slugger of.the world. I saw him. I was disappointed. He had been on a debauch all day, and one could see the signs of it on Monday night. But he is making money. Peo ple go to see him, just like they will go to the circus to see the animals. He is a well built man, physically speaking. He is nowon the stage, one of the stars in the play called "Loving Hearts and Willing Hands," a very poor play, but that does not differ, the people only go to see John L. He looks out of place. The Opera House was full from pit to dome. They wanted to see this physi cal giant. If there had been an intel lectualor moral giant there I doubt if half as many pcople would have been * * While in Columbia, I called at the office of The State, the new morning daily in Columbia, and was shown through the establishment by Mr. N. G. Gonzales, the managing editor. They are nicely fixed up. In fact it is one of the neatest and best arranged and most convenient printing offices in South Carolina. It is a good newspa per too, and it seems to keep improv ing. I wish the new paper success. * * I don't think I ever saw as much going out between acts as there was at the opera house in Columbia on Mon day night. It seemed to me that nearly everybody had to get a little fresh air as the curtain came down at the close of each act. But then you know such things seem strange to a country edi tor who has not seen much of the world. "The cost of sin." Did you ever think of that, reader? That was the theme of the sermon preached by Rev. WV. W. Daniel at the Methodist church on last Sunday night. If you have never thought of it you ought to have been at the Methodist Church on last Sunday night. The discourse was based on the parable of the prodigal son. It was one of the most logical an.d withal eloquent sermons that this young divine has preached since he has een in Newberry. "The cost of sin!" You had never thought about its cost possibly. It is a costly article from a worldly standpoint, but if that were all you could possibly afford to purchase. But when you consider its cost from a moral and spiritual standpoint, you cannot measure it in material things dollarand cents. When you come to die you can't take any of your worldly possessions with you, and if these were the only cost it would be a trifle. But when you appreciate that it will cost you the loss of a life of eternal happi ness, how can you afford to pay the I guess I had bettcer stop and go back and try to write that headline. E. H. A The report of the County Treasurer is published this week and takes up so much space that much other matter is ncessarily left out. The statement that ex-President Cleveland would under no circumstan ces accept a nomination in 189:2, seems to have been without founnation. We are inclined to the opinion that he is at present the strongest man in the Democratic party. The State made its appearance on Wednesday, 18th instant. It is an eight page paper published every day in the week at $8.50 a yeai. It is newsy, ably edited, and if the policy outlined in the editorial of the first issue is car ried out is bound to succeed. - The Comptroller General seems to be moving in the right direction. He says that all property must be returned at issfull value. He is not stopping at bank stck but other business and property as well. That is right and all encourage ment hould be given to have carried out this much needed reform, and all tales *ill be lower.. - - - HE EWBERRY E flnual Report of CoulltUi TreasuIer of NeWleIIlJ CountU FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENC 1NG NOT. 1ST, 1SS9, AND ENDING OCTOBER 31ST, 1890.
