DON'T SPANK THEM.
But Play the Piano for Your Naughty
Children.


Dr.. Julia Seton Sears the re-
nowned metaphasician, has made
many experiments at her school in
Oscawanna, N. Y, in correcting the
faults of children without punish
ing them. Her advice TO mothers is
to play on the piano for their chill
dren when they are disobedient in
stead of Furnishing them. She says
to play something the children know
as their childish emotions are not
so responsible to unfamiliar airs.
She is convinced of the infallibility of
this cure, and says it is equally eff
fective in the case of grown-ups
Worry, anxiety, care and irritability
may all be soothed by certain classes
of music, according to DR.. Sears.

we'll as the demonstrators. will come
ont and hear what Mr.. Williams has
to say.
Mr.. S. N. Duncan. who is in charge
Of the demonstration work in this
county, has taken great interest in it
and has made all Of the co-operators

its second year in Newberry. and has
done a great deal towards the use of
improved farm methods in this coun-
tv. which means an interest in farm
work generally. Every encourage
ment should be given to the farmers
to improve their methods and to i'm
prove their seeds.
There is no doubt that the farmers
of this county could make as many
bales of cotton and as many bushels
of corn on half the acreage if the
proper methods and improved seeds
and proper fertilizers were used.

der the Federal government looks tc

ECHOES FROM DIXIE.

= 1t is to be hoped every man, woman
and child in Newberry will avail
, themselves Of the privilege Of hearing
Mrs. CAROLS recital on Friday ev-
ening, October eighth at the opera
house. It is an entertainments that
few Of us, if any, can afford to miss
and the Daughters are fortunate in
; securing this delightful as we'll as In
Structive evening. The outside world
has never had in the years gone by,
and will never have in the years to
come, any truer onception of the pc
culiar relations that existed between
"Ole Marster and Mistress'' and
those who called them such in the
days Of Dixie.
Mrs. Carroll has had great success
with her recitals not only in Augusta
but in many other places. She has
given entertainments in Athens, un-
der the auspices Of Y. NJ. c. A. and
! has been invited also to Baltimore.
We hope she will be greeted by a
large audience.
The following endorsements from
men of prominence in her home town
will give one some idea Of the charm
and success Of her recitals.
