The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1894-10-24
Dots from ST. Phillips.

We get cents per pound for our
cotton now, though it's just as white as
it was when we got 10 cents for it.
Sunday school at st. Phillips next
Sunday (the 4th Suuday) at 10 o'clock
a. III. After which the Young Peoples
Christian Endeavor Society will con-
vene.
It seems that our friend Mr.. n. is
having time of it of late. Some time
ago bis face got wet of sudden while
standing near we'll, and we are now
Informed that he went out one day
last week and picked up the end of
rope, the other end of which was tied
10 COW. Mr.. n. and the cow ''fell
outn abont neutrality-suspicious., we
suppose-and the COW ran away
with him, though he held on to the
rope, be being one of those persons
who are bound TO hold their own" at
ali hazards. The COW must have made
tolerably good time, for we are told
that those who stuck to their post of
duty, or rather rope of duty, only
touched the ground in high places.
We suggest that our friend write
book on the funny experiences Of his
life. We've been hauled around at the
end of a rope With COW taking exer-
else at the other end, too, and we there
fore know how to sympathize; and
more than that, we wouldn't be sur
prised if the cow does not yet prove in
strumentai in solving the great prob
lem Of aerial navigation.
What has become of the once re-
nowned st. Phillips debating society?
Do the young men who were once ar
dent members Of that society suppose
that they have made all the improve
ment necessary in the way of public
speaking? If so, they are certainly
mistaken, for there is always room for
Improvement. The benefits to be de-
rived from well conducted debating
society are too we'll known to admit Of
discussion here. Suffice it to say that
subject based on the present condi-
ton of the country, its political, finan-
cial and agricultural interests, etc.,
would no doubt prove quite interest
ing.
Cool mornings; 80 cool that we gen.
orally go to the cotton field with our
coat collar turned up. But 10! when
we get there we find the cotton stalks
.perspiring like as if they were about to
suffocate, and if cotton doesn't get bet
ter than S cents something else is going
to snfer(cate).
We are thoroughly disgusted witt
manifestoes, pronunciamentoes, and all
other toes that have q tendency to
trample upon and mar the serenity of
our people. Freedom of speech is one
of the greatest and noblest of American
principles. 1t is right which every
American freeman enjoys; a right for
which each and every individual in
whose veins courses that rich blood Of
American patriotism will stand mex
orable upon the brink of the last abyss,
yea, who will even commit himself to
its dark, impenetrable depths-it mat
tiers not what his fate may be-rather
than to have right or privilege coer-
ced which nature herself has allotted
him. In view of all this, We would
say that freedom of speech must be
tolerated, even if some may seem in
tolerable, and that every man has a
perfect right to express any opinions
he may conceive of, but, that of all the
opinions that may be expressed and
expounded in this broad land OF ours,
none can be moulded into an ideal law
"a law that will give perfect satisfac-
ton to all. JOSH TRUMP.
