Supervisor Feagle has the coping up
for the little park at intersection Of
Harrington and Thompson streets and
it is now ready for some one to put
out the flowers and grass. I wonder
why the supervisor does not take a.
little more pride in the lawn around
the court house. He might detail
Treasurer Epps and Judge Schum-
pert and Clerk Goggans and Sheriff
Buford and Auditor Werts to take ex-
ercise in the working of this lawn. It
would be healthful and beneficial to
these officials and by little work
they could easily keep the lawn in
fine shape.

THE IDLER.

There seems to be great stir on
between Gov Blease and a something
signing itself "The Charleston Com
munity Club'-I do not want this to
be understood to be a disrespectful
reference because I have always been
taught from MY youth up to be re-
spectful to my superiors and I am too
old now to depart from those paths
but there seems to be no Individual
signature to the communication, and
must say that it was not couched in
very respectful terms, but I am not
referring to it to discuss the merits or
dement's of the contention. 1t is all
about the act of the legislature which
the governor has not approved, per-
mitting certain cities to vote on the
question of commission form of gov
ernment. The governor has not ap-
proved the act and the "Charleston
Community Club" is mad. I read
something once about an old adage
which ran something like this:
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make made" and I want to warn
this "Club" to guard we'll its temper,
because do not want to see anything
or anybody suffer destruction. This
"Club" has also written letters to the
several candidates for mayor to ascer-
tain their views Oh the question of a
commission form OF government, and
also onthe attitude of the governor
in his failure to sign the said act.
And they--the candidates-hafe all
written letters in response to this re-
quest, and these letters have been
published.
Now, am not going to undertake to
discuss the commission form c. gnV-

RED CROSS NURSING SERVICE.

A red cross on white ground encir-
cled by the words, american Nation
al Red Cross Nurse" in letters of gold
on blue enamel, the whole enclosed
| in laurel wreath-this is the official
emblem of the nursing service of the
American Red Cross, and no higher
honor can be bestowed upon nurse
than the right to wear this badge, for
1t means that she is pledged to the
service Of her country. This emblem
is protected by law, and still further
to prevent it's improper use each
badge is numbered and the names and
addresses of the nurses to whom they
are issued are On file in the Red Cross
Office in Washington.
The selection of these nurses is one
OF the most important duties devoly-
ing upon the Red Cross, and so i'm
portant indeed did this duty seem chat
national committee on red cross
nursing service was appointed by the
war relief board of the American Red
Cross in December, 1909. This COM
mittee, consisting of nine members
representing the Nurses Associated
alumnae of the United States and six
members representing the American
Red Cross, was made responsible for
the organization of an adequate nurs-
ing personnel which shall be at all
times available for service under the
banner of the Red Cross.
The magnitude of this undertaking
may be indicated by the following fig
ures: During the last year of the Civil
War there were 204 general hospitals
under the control of the medical de-
partment of the United States army,
with a capacity of 136,894 beds.
If the medical department of the
army of 1865 had undertaken to fur
nish a nursing service comparable
with that which is considered neces-
sary in our large hospitals today, an
army of over $1,000 nurses would have
been required. There were, however,
no trained nurses available in those
dark years Of the Civil War, but to-
dayt here are in United States alone
over $4,000 women who have gradual
ed from training schools for nurses,
than which there are none better in
the world. and from these the Red
Cross hopes to enroll at least 10000
nurses-10,O00 selected women who
are not only vouched for by the
schools for nurses from which they
have graduated, but are recommend
ed by well-known members of their
own profession.
The system of enrolment adopted
by the Red Cross is a guarantee to
the nation that in the stress of calam-
ity or the turmoil of war there stands
ready for service a band Of women
worthy to follow in the footsteps OF
their great teacher and examp!ar,
Florence Nightingale.

about it, but I have thought, when
thinking about what the difference
was between the old form and the
commission form, if it did not at last
resolve itself into a choice Of men by
the people, and as a final analysis it
rests upon the men chosen and the
men who choose. The point l am try
ing to lead up to is quotation from
one of the letters from one OF these
candidates for mayor, as follows:
"The question of government is not
to be decided off-hand even by the wis
est, whereas it will not be denied even
by the simplest, that the way to put
down evils in government is to find
good men for Office, rather than to find
gocd offices for men," That seems to
me, would be good rule to follow
in the selection of officers in every
department. And if you do not select
good men can you have good govern
ment under the commission form any
more than under the old way and vice
versa? That is a question l would
like to have answered.

Now and again I read some of the
papers of the State, and I notice that
in great many towns they are talk
ing of budding parks and of beauti-
flying the town and civic associations
are at work and the people are united
for a town beautiful. Just what !
have been trying to accomplish for
Newberry from the first time I took
my pen in hand to write letter for
The Herald and News, and what have
I accomplished? 1t is very discourag-
ing to try to help people who don't
want to be helped-who- seem to be
entirely satisfied with themselves, and
as I have before remarked, any COM
munity or Individual that is satisfied
with itself or with himself is in a bad
way-hope is almost departed. Now,
is Newberry satisfied with civic con-
dition? Them all I have to say is,
may God have mercy upon her and
not cast her out at the last day into
utter darkness.

1t seems to me that I have a faint
recollection of movement being on
foot that at one time away back in
the dim and distant past there was
something said about a public build
ing in Newberry for a postofice. If
there are any persons now living who
are old enough to remember anything
about this movement, it might be in
teresting history to have some of these
write their recollections of it. Let

government buy a lot? And where
was the lot? Or am I only dreaming?
