THE 1DLER.

Somebody has mailed 10 me Vue

the Columbia Record. You know, L
generally have the pleasure Of seeing
the Record, and I like it. In TACT
generally read it, but with the oppor-
tunity Of location and schedule the
Record ought not to take 50 many
pages Of advertisements. Take more
space for the subscriber and less tor
the advertiser and charge the ad-
vertisers the same. Don't you see
how I know just how the other. tello"
ought to run his business. And then

MEmy, how I did get off the sub
iect. 4 started on. But you know how
easy. that IS when one starts out to
tell the other fellow what he ought to
do. The following is the quotation
or EDITORIAL:
DARLINGTON.
Darlington is to have c public park.
Darlington IS: to be congratulated on
this evidence of foresight.
The city council has purchased for
this purpose tract Of land in the
city, which is described as well suit
ed to the purpose, with good eleVa-
ton and natural trees, vines and flow
ers in profusion. Properly beautifed
and maintained, the park will be an
ornament to the city. Darlington
may not: need a park at this time. so
much, but if the town expects to grow
into a eity-and what town does not !?
she will need it. It is this sort OF
foresight which makes a city not
only beautiful but prosperous. Dar-
lington is now both, and she WILL e'l-
dently remain so. ..
Of course Darlington can have a
park. Greenwood can have a park.
Abbeviile can have park. But New
berry. Somebody says we are not
ready. Lets wait awhile: A little
more slumber. A liutle more folding
of the hands together. A little more
waiting. Now, let me tell you, we
are not going to wait on this thing
much. longer and if these old STUN
bling blocks don't get out Of the way
We are going to throw them into the
fiery furnace and make kindling wood
out Of them. Do you see? Do you
heart Newberry has the natural ad-
vantages that no other town has for
beautiful and a central park and
the park she is going to have. The
thing that worries me is [ am grow
irg older every day and [ want 1t to
come so that may enjoy it just a
little now and then. ..-.-...
Have you read this:
~- Here is a genuine republican edl-
torial from a genuine republican pa
per, the Fremont (Neb.) Tribune:
"Somewhere, sometime, some candl-
date will get up and say he doesn't
care a doggone about public interests
but wants the Office for what's in IT,
and he'll win in a eanter-voters
could not help admiring such unique
truthfulness. -
That thing will never happen in
South Carolina unless I should take
a fool notion to run for office and
when I do I want to see good salary
at the end Of the job, [ mean at the
end of each month, and then I am
going to be honest with the dear
people and tell them frankly that [
don't give a snap Of my finger for
them and will look after their inter-
ests only when my own can best be
subserved. Taat I want the job and
that I am not running because of the
overwhelming demands Of my friends.
I know I can't be elected on such hon.

like to be fooled. But | may be fool
enough to try it some of these days
and if I do I am determined to make
things lively.
Did you ever see man or wo-

hunting for trouble. In fact l have
heard of people who had lots Of trou-
