l tell You some Of these streets and
especially some of the sidewalks in
Newberry are in fearful need Of at
tention. The small gravel have been
washed to the surface and walking
is almost out Of the question with
any sort Of comfort and then the wear
on the shoes is something else. And
the grass and weeds scarcely leave a
trail wide enough for an Indian.

More's the pity that Southern peo-
pie do not feel themselves able to be
patriotic as in days Of yore. [ am
afraid it is too true, that our South
ern people, even when able, are not
as patriotic as they once were, and
have gotten the commercial mania
just like the rest Of the ordinary
people, and thereby We have lost our
distinctive characteristic. This is
really a very materialistic age in
which we live. / believe if | were rich
I would do a great many things which
would be for the general welfare, and
nope to get my reward in the good
| might do. But [ reckon If l were
rich-which I am not-1 guess l
would do just like the rest Of the rich
folk. You know what that is.

That park, though, must come. L
wish our rich folk would some even
ing just walk down to the power
house and see how the young folks, and
the old folk, too, flock down there,
and it would take no further argu-
ment to convince of the demand for
park. Along the branch is the place.
Look at Willowbrook. It is rot boggy.
No objection to the Northern rich
man giving the place mentioned by
Dad, but with the park along the
creek We can have the rustic bridges
and the babbling brook believe
that's good-and many other things
that would be impossible out on the
dusty street-but let that Northern
rich man give the ladies that place
and I am almost willing to say that
guarantee they will help to beautify
it and call it-what?

This editor has something to say
about 1.-The Idler and his ilk.' When
I first read that 7 got very angry
that is as angry as I can get-because
I thought elk" was a word which
meant to carry some sort Of op-
probrium-I believe that is the word
[ want to use-you know I mean some
kind Of offensiveness- is some
kind Of mild cuss word which called
for response-but borrowed a
Webster's big dictionary and it says
that ilk means "same, each, every. .
"Of that ilk, denoting that a per
sons surname and the title Of his
estate are the same.' So you see ]
am obliged to believe that in this con-
nection elk is used as compli-
mentary expression, and so I take it.
Of course my surname and the title
Of my estate are the same.

The Leader: The Weigel mine is
on in full blast, with twenty men at
work. Results are very satisfactory,
and it is likely that the mine will be a
busy place for many months at least.
The last drill hole, the ninth, is
being sunk at the Candy Kid termed
the Optimo. The company intends
erecting a mill at once on the John
Adams property and Mr.. Adams will
be obliged to rae his hay shed, as
that is the sight for the building. A

The Squirrel mine, one of the most
promising of the many in this district,
will commence operations about March
9th with a full crew. The new mill
will have been completed by that time.
The Dark Horse mine shipped a
