The intellectual OCEAN embodied /,
the mind Of Shakespeare, "whose wave,
touched all the shores of thought,
might well have caused one little rip
plot Of pleasure to waste itself upon tht
rugged banks Of business life and have
added, Recreation, o thoa much neg
lected virtue; thou, indeed. art thu
richest jewel in the diadem OF health.
A much venerated, mythical sage
dear to the hearts Of children, hath
been made to say:
"Oh, Solitude, where art thy charms
That sages have sein in thy face;
Better dwell In the midst Of alarms
Than reign In this horrible place.
The eminent writer OF this standard
fable could make his hero say nothing
else. From the day he was cast upon
the shores Of that cannibal isle, his life
had been one routine Of drudgsry. ''Six
days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work, but the seventh is the Sabbath OF
the Lord, thy God; In ii chou shalt not
do any work was not spoken for this
land Of terrors and toll. The alchumy
OF man had wrought no Miracles, and
the rugged isle greeted it's king strlpp-
ed Of much Of its beauty by the forces
Of Neptune, surrounded by hordos Of
savages, eager for . taste Of delicate
white flesh. Recreation had no part In
"Robin's" daily life, therefore his flag
OF distress ever waved and the star OF
hope for deliverance never set.
As Shakespeare portrayed every
phase OF human life, 40 selkirk depicted
the horrors Of life without recreation.
What was true in the days Of these
great writer's is intensely true today,
and make the broad assertion that
Man without Recreation
is a Failure;
Machinery without Oil
Soon Becomes useless4
The machinery Of man must have the
oil Of recreation and amusement or else
it performs it's functions under distress.
Great men Of all ages have recognized
this vital essential and all great cities
abound with places where the tired
brain may put off, for the time being,
it's robes Of care and feast upon the
beauties Of nature intensified by the
Of man.
A city without it's parks can never
become great.
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relisbed by the wisest men,"
In our mad rush for money we must
stop by the wayside and quench our
thirst for variety in the cooling waters
Of pleasure.
Greenwood has advanced too far upon
the highway Of development to remain
to the demands Of cfyilizs-
tion. The highest order Of civilization |
ID In recognition OF the necessities for |
diversincation, and a. we boast Of land
truly the highest development along |
the line Of citizenship, II behooves ~ |
TO wake up to the oblisatisns sncum-
bent upon US by reason Of our princsly |
relations to princely people.
Greenwood has now within its bor-
ders an unkept park, one that . few
touches Of the alchumizing influences |
of money will transform irto - thing |
IF beauty and Joy forever" One that
It's citizens might well point to with
pride and visitors remember with
oleasure-the neglecting Of which will
be lasting regret IL not q downright
lin.
Let's have the park.

BISHOP GALLOWAY
MEMORIAL SERVICE


On Sunday night, May 73rd, 1909,
service to the memory Of tho late Bisho]
Charles B. Galloway was held at tn
First Methodist church in this city. l
vas service of unusual interest b,
reason Of the fact that the congregation
from the Presbyterian, Baptist and tn,
Episcopal churches joined in paying /
last tribute to great bishop, one Of th,
1 foremost citizens Of the state, recog
pized by all as leader, deep and pro
4 found thinker, and a man universal il
his sympathies and love for mankind.
The meeting was presided over by DR.
y William Irvine, pastor OF the First Pres
byterian church, and the following per.
/ sons took prominent parts in the meet.
ing:
Hon. e. V. Hughston presented his
conception of Bishop Galloway as man
Hon. &. L. Mounger, his conception 81
Bishop Galloway as citizen. Rev. s.
E. Tull, pastor Of the Baptist church,
and Rev. Geo. B. Myers, rector Of the
Episcopal church, presented their views
of Bishop Galloway and his relations to
other churches and denominations. Rev.
Il. s. spragins, pastor Of the Methodist
church, and Capt. H. H. Estes, local
preacher, gave their views Of Bishop
Galloway as a preacher.
The choir for the evening was COM
posed of the leading members OF the
choirs Of the different churches in the
city and rendered the following num-
bers: "Jesus Lover Of My Soul and
Nearer My God to Thee Mr.. Schill-
ing, Of the Baptist church, sang beau
tiful solo.
The speakers Of the evening were
men who had known Bishop Galloway
for years and it was the concensus OF
opinion that the Bishop was a man Of
broad experiences and leading, deep
love for humanity, high ambitions for
the State and it's citizenship, jealous in
bis Christian work, and yet man who
followed in that straight and narrow
path that leads into eternal life.
In the death Of Chas. B. Galloway the
state lost one Of its most useful citi-
zens: and the Methodist church South
a Bishop whose place will indeed be
hard to fill.

That was not wholesome spectacle
the American people were treated to at
Andersonville, Ga, yesterday, when the
Omitted Daughters of the Confederacy,"
unveiled monument to the memory of
the brutal Captain Wirz, whose treatment
of Union soldier prisoners during the
Civil War resulted in his trial and execu-
ton for his crime at Washington after
the close of the wsr. These Daughters of
Confederacy imagine the monument will
rescue his name from the stigma at
tached to it by embittered prejudice, /"
wholly forgetful of the silent victims of
his inhumanity-to say nothing of the
few remaining survivors Of it-lYing not
far away from the monument among the
$4,000 bodies of "boys who wore the blue"
inferred in the National Cemetery. No
monument, no unprejudiced history of
Andersonville prison and its horrors, will
ever wipe out the stigma on Virus name.
for 1t is indelibly impressed upon the
tablets of the memory of thousands Of
Union soldiers and their descendants, as
well as upon the impartial archives of the
government The Georgia women's mo-
tive may be patriotic from their stand
point, but the patriotism of the country
cannot but regard it as lamentable.-

founded ON the love story of Elizabeth
Patterson, noted Baltimore belle, and
Jerome Bonaparte, the youngest brother
of Napoleon, will be presented by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. For
more than two seasons ana up to within
three months ago the play, written by
Rida Johnson Young, author of Brown
of Harvard served as a starring vehicle
for Mary Mannering and was accorded
warm praise everywhere, not alone be-
cause of the historical character of the
play, but because the story upon which it
is founded is one that appeals to the TO-
matte sentiments GLORIOUS Betsy"
even though she was not of the flesh and
blood, and a charming type of early
American history, would still be an ap-
pealing heroine of the modern stage.
She is girl possessed with all the femin-
inc charms, winsomeness, cleverness,
beauty and attractiveness. Marion Bar
ney will be seen as Betsy and William
Ingersoll will play Jerome Bonaparte. !"

then struck him again. What might have
been attributed to the excitement of the
moment was wiped out by the remark of
the catcher, who showed he had intended
the dirty act, saying "You will run into
me, will you7" Kuhn was knocked out
for quite awhile, and what looked like q
possible rumpus was quieted by the
Mount Holly players.
Ninth inning-The score now stood a
tie, each club having secured two runs.
Westville was not able to make any
change, G. Davis aud Hopkins striking
out Hamilton going out on a fly.
Mount Holly did not do much better,
Peacock, Goodbrod and Parcels going out
on fly balls.
Tenth inning. -Braddock and Schar-
nagle struck out. Steinider out on a fly.
Lindsay out on fly to the shortstop.
Mcclure took his first turn at bat, and
hunted. The ball fell exactly on the foul
line and stuck in the place where 1t drop
ped. 1t was declared fair ball and Nc
Clure was caught at first. Morgan sent
up fly which was captured by Killmer
after long run.
Eleventh inning. -Killmer got good
hit to left field and then repeated the play
that seemed to be perfectly easy on 6emon,
that of stealing bases. He stole second
and third without any difficulty. N. Davis
went out at first. Schoenut got his good
hit in, sending one to left, and bringing
Kfllmer home. G. Davis was out on q
fly, Hamilton out at first.
Mount Holly was not able to overcome
the lead. Kuhn and Bennett went out at
first, Semon out on a fly and the game was
ended by the score of three to two in favor
of the visitors.
The detailed score follows:

A NEWSPAPER item says that the State
Superintendent of Public instruction has
expressed himself favorable to ignoring,
by Boards Of Education. of the very
many public holidays that are now pre-
scribed by law. 1t is not plain to see
how any such advice could be seriously
given. The school law prescribes that on
all days set apart as legal or public holt
days teachers cannot be compelled to
work. That would seem to settle the
matter.
