to Clemson and to Anderson and
that they we're handsomely enter
tanned while there and that they
took their friends with them and
that they all had a good time and
then came back and gave these col
leges all they wanted and declined to
investigate affairs at Clemson but
what else was done. / reckon the
appropriation bill was passed be-
cause I saw in one paper where they
passed a reolution Of thanks to Hon.
T. P. Cothran for the nice manner In
which he fixed up the bill. And the
levy, how much did they make it,
and what did they dc for Newberry
county. Is that bridge to be built ?
And is the county to get on a cash
basis? I don't care much myself but
there are readers of your paper who
would like to know what was done.
I am sorry to see that the trustees
Of the graded school have been ha7-
ing some trouble with the opening Of
streets in the Pope property. What
difference does it make to the school
whether there are any streets AROUND
the property or not. In fact would
it not be better to have no streets
around the property. It would not
then be so easy to get into the build
ing to. do it damage. If those who
own adjacent property want to de-
velop it let them build the streets or
open them and turn them over to the
town. That's the way it looks to me.
They are the ones to be benefited by
the streets and not the school or the
city. But then it is none Of my bus
mess and I reckon I better say moth
ing about it.
/ was reading the other day Frank
Stanton in the Atlanta Constitution.
You know I like to read him. I
wonder sometimes if he ever has any
trouble for every now and then. he
has a paragraph about troubles. I
want to remind him that the mos.
trouble most people have are the
troubles which never happen. Here
are three little paragraphs that [
copied from his writing some time
ago:
When Trouble comes to see YOU
and takes his hat off, run away witi
his hat and stick a feather in It.
Word From Br'er Williams.
Whatsomever dey may say #
Trouble, it don't forsake you lax
some er yo' joy-friends. It sets up
wild you all night long, an den keeps
you wide awake by sphttin''. wood Cor
br 'akfas'!'
Waiting for Trouble.
"Been settin' here waitin' fer
trouble bout three days. -
"You're wastin' yer time.''
'sNo, I'm not. Jest think o the
shock it would be to my feelin's et
I wuz walkin' long the highway, an
trouble hoped out o. the bushes an
took me by surprise!''
It is too true that it often happsrs
that if you have ''joy-hiends" they
will leave you and forsake you waeL
old man Trouble comes.
Talking about candidates now thai
they are announcing their platforms
and giving their reasons for running
it will be opportune to print the fol-
lowing announcement Of a candidate
for governor in one Of the western
States made last year:
~ am candidate for governor
purely Of my own volition. No iele-
CATION Of admiriing friends has called
upon me and urgently soliited me to
permit my name to go before the peo-
pie, nor have I been picked on! or
chosen. or even suggested by any per-
son or combination of persons who
care more for their interests than
they do for the state they live l..
my candidacy is in no sense
case of the Office seeking the man,
but the deliberate seeking Of the Of
fee by the man, who does so because
Of his inherent right as an American
citizen and because he sincerely be-
ieves he is qualified by long years Of
business experience to fill the office
as the people want it filed"
