YOU my idea of what sort of man We
ought to have for mayor and don t
care where he comes from so he IS
alright and comes up to my yard
stick.
Wash t that an awful mistake the
News and Courier made about that
automobile for the county supervisor.
The following was in the editorial
column. 7 saw it myself. I happened to
buy a copy that morning. Just think
of it.
"Newberry county has purchased
an automobile for the use Of the su-
pervisor. The gentleman who now
holds the office will probably find that
there will be number Of candidates
for the job at the next election.
! Now, I suppose ii grew out Of that
little paragraph l requested The Her
aid and News to copy from one OF the
Greenwood papers. 1t is no joke about
Greenwood county, but Newberry-
why my dear sirs, not Newberry buy
ing any automobile for the supervisor.
No, no.
The correspondent Of the News and
Courier sent a telegram correcting the
report which was proper and the
News and Courier published it IN the
editorial column also. That was right.
Here is the correction. It was sent
promptly and would judge that the
editor of The Herald and News must
be the correspondent. I guess they
were both afraid Of disastrous results
if the correction was not made. 1t did
not concern me very much for l knew
I had been careful in my statements as
7 am always:
We received yesterday the follow.
ing telegram from our Newberry cor
respondent:
Newberry, September 3.-Edltorlal
in the News and Courier to-day to the
effect that Newberry has purchased
automobile for supervisor may have
disastrous effect unless corrected. 1t
was Greenwood county. E. II. A.
We await the returns from Green
wood.
7 saw man the other day from
Greenwood and ne said the supervisor
was using this machine and when he
wash It using it that his boy was. 1t
was bought for service and why not
use it. y
l read a little story the other day
headed "Worth Wnile.' - Now, [
am not going to give you the whole
story but l want you to read the con-
clusion of the whole matter. 1t did
me GOOD and I believe will do all good
who read it. It was the advice Of a
GOOD mother-they are all good-to
her daughter. It ran: "Dear, our
lives are made up of such Little things.
It's always worth while to try to make
some one happy, though it, only for
a moment. That moment may be null
! tiplied a hundred times in the life of
the person to whom it was given. Very
few of US can give to others great
happiness; but We can lend them hap
py thoughts, impulses toward better
and sweeter things, delight in the
love we show them"
Don't YOU agree with me that you
have been helped after reading that.
It is always worth while to speak a
kind word or to do anything, however
small, that will be helpful to others.
No telling how many times 1t may
be multiplied.
BY the way, that park keeps weigh
ing on me. Especially when the folks
who 60 to Willowbrook come back and
| talk about the town people who are
over there whenever the park or pa
vilion is open. It seems to me that
these East side town people ought
to be ashamed of their stingy, selfish
selves. not to build a park on this
side and then 90 over and monopollze
! Willowbrook. Now. it is alright for
East side to 90 to Willowbrook. |
am sure West side is always glad TO
see them, but then they should have
