ern States.
He proposes to require the secre-
tary Of agriculture to make pubic
the methods by which crop conditions
are ascertained and how the experts
arrive at the probable yield of heecy
staple for a given year. He also pro-
poses that the names and postofhce

He plans further to have the depart"

The resolution might have passed

are based. At his suggestion, the res

Now, Mr.. Mayor and gentlemen OF
the council, Iwant to call your atten-
tion to a few things right around the
centre OF the city, and want to ask
you in all candor and sincerity If you
do not think the town ought to 30
something to improve the condition,
and if you have not seen them would
ask you to take time to look at tne1h'
and if you have not time then get on
your Job and take time, or get down
off the Job. Look at Caldwell street
from Johnstone to Boundary, especial
" after each rain, and take Whit OF
the odor that arises. Take a look, at
the beautiful sidewalk along Boyce
street, along side VIM. Johnson's
store, and ask yourself if it ought to
be removed altogether and the street
widened, or made so that it would not
be dangerous to pass along that way.
Take a look at the portion OF Nance
street from Boundary to Friend and
tell me if it presents the appearance OF
q prosperous and progressive city that
is keeping abreast this progressive
age Or maybe you are like some ot
the citizens you represent-entlreiy
satisfied with yourselves and with tne
conditions existing in your town. II
YOU are, then it is like unto pouring
water down a ducks back to call your
attention to any of these things "a

ers, but these will engage your atfan-
ton for season.

the moHey. But you are spending
money, and would it not be economy
to put it on permanent work, Avel it
you did not try to cover so much
ground, and what you did, cover prop
erly. Suppose you were to try d*Vct-
ing the remainder Of this year to work
that will last and that will not need
your attention Immediately aft=r each

be. You would be astonished your
selves. Look at some of these Ola

was walking down street the 9TH
er day and I met a great big, fierce
looking bull dog, or rather when saw
him coming down the street got on
the other side, for if there is one thing
that T am afraid of it is bull dog,
and so I gave him the right of way.
T began to think and it seems to me
that 7 remember that not so long ago,
after one Of these bull dogs had bit
ten a little child in this town, there
was great sympathy for the grier
stricken parents, when the child died
from the effects of the bite. The dog
was killed, and an ordinance was
passed requiring all dogs to bic muz-
zled. or kept off the streets, and for a
season you could walk the streets
without fear of being bitten by one
Of these animals, but human memory
and human sympathy are short lived
and the ordinance. has either been re-
pealed; or it is one Of those things
that the officers must see and not see
II mean the violation of it. You can
shut your eyes now and see all kinds
Of dogs running at large and there is
none TO modest or make afraid.
The editor tells me that the mayor
says he would like for me to say
something about some Of the things
that the council has done and not so
much about what ought to be done.
Well, now, nothing will give me more
pleasure, if the mayor will just sho"
me some Of the permanent work that
he is doing. That was nice job thai
was done on the sidewalk in front OF
the college, and it will not have to b.
done over again. Where cement curb
ing sheen put down is work In the
right direction. It Is economy, and
what I have been contending for is to
stop wasting the peoples money in
temporary work that has to be done
over after each rain. commend

work because it is economy. And

What Newberry needs above all
else is for her men to get together and
put aside all littleness and selhshness
and do things for the general welfare,
even if some citizen does happen to
get a little more direct and immediate
benefit than some other citizen. A lit

that the seaboard would be interested

then it would open territory that is

that another road from any where
