TWO KINDS OF CRANNS WHO

Great Editor Changes His Opinion

There are two types of baseball
cranks that poster ball players espe-
cially. They are: the crank who
writes letters anonymously and tells
the players how bad they are and the
enthusiastic crank who butts in, in
PRODUCES himself. and proceeds 70 tell
how good they are.
Ty Cobb, the Tiger star, met one of
the latter kind on a train this sum-
mer. Worse than that, the fellow not
only was a baseball crank, but also
one of these purity in sport" reform
ers. He held for cleanliness for
craftsmanship, and Cobb was with
him. Then he got to talking about
tricks turned by ball players to gain
advantages, and he decried them as
unsportsmanlike. Finally he said:
Mr.. Cobb, am delighted to know
you. have read things that gave me
an idea totally incorrect of you and
your playing. am glad to find you a
sportsman and lover of clean sport"
Thank you," muttered Cobb, a trife

exhibition game at Wichita. and Issy
had made great preparations for their

Issy prepared great feast at his

on the Sox team a beautiful repast-
During the dinner the Sox were tell

morning the editor stopped at my
berth.
Il was much mistaken in that young
man, Dahlen," he remarked. "He Is
a smart intelligent and interesting
young man. I believe these stories
about his drinking have been exagger-
ated. fear we have been misled by
the talk of cranks. wish you would
write a story suggesting him as the
logical successor of Captain Arson as

Dahlen was, during his Chicago ca

sedate and conservative and IS friend
" to some of the jumps nowadays. but
when young he gave all the umpires
and Uncle Nick Young more trouble
than any player since his time.
One day, on the West side, Dahlen
approached Hank O'Day, who was the
umpire, and remarked:

NOT DISCOURAGED.

Col. E. H. Aull, editor of the New
berry Herald and News, has under
taken to provide Newberry with a
park. Col. Aull should be encouraged
by the citizens Of his wide-aWake
town. No town is complete without
4 park. Gaffney has three-one be-
longing to the city and two to private
citizens, viz: Mr.. H. D. Wheat and
Mr.. W. G. Hamrick, and it is a safe
prediction that our people get as
much real pleasure and benefit from
these recreation spots and play
grounds for children as from any 9TH
er source.-Gaffney Ledger.
Everything that Mr.. E. H. DeCamp
says is true, but it often happens in
this community that encouragement
is not given to those things that are
for the general welfare, at least until
the enterprise is an assured success.
It takes a lot OF hammering to move
people sometimes. 1t is unfortunately
too true that many Of OUT people will
not look beyond immediate returns. If
they put out dollar they want to
be convinced that two are coming i'm
mediately back And yet this policy
has not to any great extent yielded
fruit even in this fertile soil.
However the park for Newberry is
coming. The park idea has taken
possession everywhere, and We are
not discouraged, though the response
given our efforts for park here has
been sufficient to discourage most any
one. But we are no gutter and ne7-
er have had any idea Of giving up the
fight, because we are convinced that
our cause is right, and that it more
than half the battle.

TINES HAVE CHANGED.

Some twenty or twenty-five years
ago, when cotton Was fve cents
pound, there were few men-very
few-in North Carolina and the South
who preached doctrine of industrial
development and diyersifcation of
crops on the farm. In those days the
only productive activity was farming
and everybody was feeling the pinch
of fve-cents cotton. In answer to the
suggestion of factories and farm diver
sifcatiOn there would be the impat-
lent query, "If we diversity crops to
whom shall We sell? Cotton is the
only crop for which We can get any
market. And as to building factories,
where is the money to come from?"
But patient reiteration and patient
encouragement of every little effort
to diversity the crops and to do sor?e
little manufacturing gradually had
their effect. The people around High
Point for example, picked and dried
blackberries until High Point became
famous as a driedblackberry centre.
It is now operating half q hundred
furniture factories and giving Grand
Rapids a bad nalf bour of solicitude
respecting Ihe Michigan city's tradi-
Iional supremacy in this important
field.
Tie early preachments and teach
irgs Of the few advocates Of diyersi-
fcation in farm and factory have
been much more than realiz'A1. That
days most roseate dreams have come
true. The Yeast was slow to work,

THE CANNING INDUSTRY.
Nr. John Cousins Says it is Not a
Money Making Rut 'ioi.ey
Saver.

The Charlotte, Observer, under the
management Of Col. D. A. Tompkine,
who probably has done more than any
other one man in this section toward
the building of manufacturing enter
prises, is now devotng a good deal
of it's energy to- the diversifcation Of
the farming interest Of the South, and,
in connection with that, the manufac-
ture and canning of farms produce.
At this tir1e Col Tomkins is
gathering information in regard to
the canning industry, principally the
smaller industry. He has, among
others, written to Mr.. inc. Cousins, Of
this county, making inquiry of him
as to the success which he has at
tanned as a farmer in canning the pro-
ducts Of his farm.
Mr.. Cousins has for several years
put up a very superior article on can
tomatoes and fruits from his farm.
He does not run the canning indus
try as q. business, but in canning for
his own use, and at times that he can
not be busy on the farm, he usually
cans an extra amount for the market,
and finds a ready sale for it in New
berry.
The following is his letter to the
Charlotte Observer:
Newberry, S, c.
To the Observer Company:
You ask me about the canning busi-
ness. Well, it is not great money
making business, but it is a money
saving one. All farmers should have
a canning outfit and put up all their
surplus fruit and vegetables, such as
apples, peaches, tomatoes, beans,
berries, etc., for their own family, and
what they can not consume they can
SELL 1t will bring good price it
you put up ripe fruit, and it is great
thing to have something to eat in the
winter. Yours truly,
John Cousins.

Pre- srerity We do not recall now
with whot success this enterprise met.
Our recollection is that for one or two
seasons, it was operated at good
rrofi+. Possibly some of those who
we're interested IN 1t would be willing
to give COL Tompkins their exper-
ience and any other information that
might be valuable to him in the cam
paign which he is now carrying on.

NEWBERRY AND THE Blue RIDGE

We publish in another column an
article from the Abbeville Press and
Banner, which We desire to give to
our business men as information. II
Newberry ever expects to be on the
+hrough line, it behooves her business
men and the men who own property
here to wake up. Even if the Blue
Ridge road should be extended, as is
now proposed, the people who live
in Edgeield and Saluda and Abbeyille
are considering making an effort to
have the road go through that Sec
ton to Columbia instead of taking the
old Greenville to Columbia route. It
would not take a great deal Of build=
ing and it would shorten the distance
q little. Still, we believe if the people
of Newberry will manifest an interest
in this matter that they may be able
to have this important and main Ane'
but we can not do it by sitting down
and waiting for something to turn up.
Things do not turn up in this age un-
less YOU get out and turn them up
yourselves:

but it has worked. Little by little the
lump of dough became leavened,
until We now have a fairly light loaf
and the promise before US of more
and better bread. There is many a
farmer who was formerly the slave Of
scent cotton but who now looks upon
even 15-cent cotton with scorr. The
factories have made the markets, and
in the present situation the farmer
who possesses versatility and initia-
tive can make more money on truck,
dairy products, chickens, eggs and
the like than he can en- cotton at tt-
trcn cents 4 ound. This new sltua-
ton in a measure ensures the contin-
uation of the present price for cot
ton and at the same time prevents a
return Of the bondage to one crop.
The ;ear of jubilee seems to have
come, somewhat ahead Of the time
predicted hy those sanguine pioneers
of tew1.ty years ago and with some
what more plertitl de than they VEN
tured 20 predict.-Charlotte Observer.
The aboye is along the line that The
Herald and News has been preach
ing for 20 years or more. We have al
ways held to the view that in this
section of the country, at least, the
farmer who did not diversity and
grow his own supplies on the farm
could never succeed at farming it
mattered little what the price Of cot
ton might be, and, On the other hand,
the farmer who grew his own food
supplies would make money farming
even if cotton was at a very low price
because he could make his cotton
crop his surplus, but as the Observer
states, times have changed. and the
farmers of this section are beginning
;o realize that IT, order to make farm
ing successful, there mist be dlVersl-
fcation, and there is more interest at
present in the growing Of corn and
hogs and stock than ever before in
the history of the State. We heard a
gentleman remark not long ago that
there was more corn in the cribs
throughout this county than had been
there at the same time in many years.
AS a result of this, the farmers are
making for themselves better homes
in the rural districts and are not look
ing forward for the time when they
will be able to move to town. It
means that we are soon to have bet
ter schools in the country and bet
ter roads and country life is becoming
more desirable every day.
The farmers are adding those CON-
forts and conyeneiees, which, hereto
fore, it was thought could be had only
in the cities. Nearly every farmer in
this county has a telephone in his
home and his mail is delivered at his
door every morning.
What we need more than any other
one thing now is the improvement of
the public highways and that is COM
ing very rapidly.
We understand that this editorial
from the Charlotte Observer is writ
ten by Col D. A. Tompkins, who,
among a multiplicity of Other duties,
is devoting considerable attention to
the paper of which he is large own
er. He has been doing this since the
illness Of his partner, Mr.. Jos. Cald-
well, and he is lending the influence
of his great newspaper to the material
progress and development of the
! South.
