The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1910-04-15

kinard, l see by tile paper, elected
vice-president Of the State Bankers
association, and there is Jim Bur-
ton, the cotton mill advocator, either
one of them, or both Of them togeth-
er, could do it, if l just could wake
them up. Come, boys, it is summer
time now, time to shed your shell and
get busy. What say, you?
Adopt the Baraca motto, "Do
things, and do them now"
I read somewhere the other day in
a paper the following:
"There is no obligation on the
part of the wife to live with her
husband parents and to be in SUBJ
lection to mother-in-law who
thinks she ought to have the house
and expects to manage it. The bus
band is in duty bound to provide for
the wife a separate home and to fur
nish it in a manner suitable to his
station in life. He is morally bound
to leave his father and mother and
clea7e unto his wife, We hold that
the wife was justified in remaining
apart from her husband until he
should provide her a suitable, inde-
pendent home"
If some Of the husbands T have
seen had to provide their wives suit
able, independent homes there would
have to be a modification of the
divorce laws in South Carolina. The
decision quoted above was made by
Judge German, Of Pennsylvania. of
course, you knew it wasn't in South
Carolina.
By the way, did you see that spe-
cial from Washington in the State
the other day where NeWberry's post
master, Col. Purcell, was decided the
most "pulchritudiucus'' of the South
Carolina Republicans who called on
President Taft. Now when I don't
always have a clear apprehension of
the meaning Of any word or state
ment I consult MIR. Webster. He
says this thing Zaek McGhee says
Col. Purcell is, is Latin, and means
THAT quality Of appearance which
pleases the eye; beauty; comelness;
grace; loveliness. - The colonel must
have had on his silk hat and gold
headed cane-I mean must have had
his cane along with him. Anyhow,
beauty or no beauty, he seems to have
landed the postoAice and that is the
thing after all. 49,.
Talking about parks-I just can't
help it at this season Of the year
and you will pardon me- I heard
say that city council had
rented the Coppock grove and would
fix that up foa a park. Why not buy
it, Then the start would be made.
The start is all that We need. A
good start would help nightly. Well,
the renting of it for one
year will help. But the park is what
want and must have-yes sir. Must
have, am going to have, that it. Did
you hear any noise that sounded like
a park. .,
/ The editor handed me the follow
ing the other day and said it was
from the Spartanburg Herald:
"By giving to this city land that
may be used as public playground
and park, there is an opportunity for
some one to confer lasting blessing
upon generations to come
So they are having trouble III
Spartanburg too. Why, I thought that
was real live up-to-date town and
there were just lots Of citizens there
who would be delighted to build such
a monument. It is a strange thing
to me how some people hold on to
money and hoard it instead of TAX
ing just a little Of that with which
tho Lord has blessed them and doing
good with it. A pretty park would
bless not only the children of the
present generation, but would be a
to generations yet unborn.
