the point. 1 want his council to see
the point too. Newberry ought to
get busy in the good old summer
time and open that wagon yard away
from the public square. Now is. the
time.
Did you see how those dust germs
from the paved streets were waited
into the adjoining stores and into the
nostrils of the passerby on Saturday
evening as the street was being swept.
The cloud of dust was beautiful to
behold but if there are germs any
where I should say they would be
found on this street. How would it
do to oil the street or why not sprin-
kle before sweeping.
Did YOU ever hear tell of so many
Investigations. Now over here in
Georgia they say it is necessary to
investigate the management Of the
insane asylum at Milledgeville and it
is probable that Gov. Smith will op-
pont a committee. -.
Sometimes the committeeman get
in. the lime-light and get good politi-
cal positions by virtue of the adver-
tising they get. I have heard of it
being the case. South Carolina has
had her share of the investigating
business and the end does not seem to
be yet, and I have not seen where
South Carolina has got much benefit
from it ALL Maybe I can't see much.
A gentleman in Baltimore has had
"a monument erected to Adam, the
first man. He expects to have only
men at the unveiling. Adam scarcely
needs a marble shaft to commemorate
his services to the human race. With
out him where would we have been.
Did you ever see one Of the pulpits
that were built up in the second story
of the church with a sounding bell
over them. They used to have them
at the country churches. Well, l
think they will have to bring them
back into use, even in the city church
es. 7 60 to church sometimes, not
as often as I should and when I do
60 like to look at the preacher, but
even with the raised seats when you
get one of the modern bonnets right
in your line of vision YOU just as we'll
have a brick wall between YOU and
the preacher There is no use talk
ing about removing them for there
would be nowhere to put them and the
only remedy I see is to 60 back to the
second story pulpit and then we can
see the preacher, and he can see US.
I saw a pretty young girl get on
a train recently with a band box with
one Of these modern hats and she had
to turn the box edgewise to get it
through the door. But bless your life,
I would not say or do anything that
was not pleasing to the dear women
and girls. but 7 know they Will be de-
lighted when the millinery fashion
comes back to a sane and sensible and
becoming style.
T do not know Dr.. Smith. the health
officer, of Greenville, but I read part
of his letter to DR.. Williams. State
health officer. and I agree with him
fully, when speaking OF the condemn
ed meat at Greenville, that cit would
be disgrace to the city and State it
we cannot prevent this meat being US
ed for food purposes" And yet moth
ing had been done for week or more.
I wonder why Swift & Co. would de-
sire to put damaged meat off on the
people. The last I read in the papers
about this damaged meat was that
the, wanted to ship tito soap factor
les. The best thing to do is to ere
mate it right there in Greenville. No
Use to wait on anything. Burn it.
that's the word. It should not be
made into soap. It is pity to lose
so much meat when meat comes so
high, but what is a few pounds OF
