That the war on tuberculosis pays
immediate dividends in human life
is proved by report of DIR. Bosley,
health commissioner of Baltimore. In
the monthly health bulletin for July
1t is shown that the number of deaths
from tuberculosis occurring in the city
was 90, as compared with 1913 for the
same month last year. DR.. Bosley says
that he attributes the decrease in the
number OF deaths to the educational
campaign that those interested in the
fight against the white plague" are
making. THE interest of the public
has been aroused" he declares, land
there is a. general tendency ON the
part of the people to heed the warn
ings and to observe the hygienic rules
being promulgated" In ten years, II
the present progress is kept up. DR..
Bosley believes that tuberculosis will
be stamped out,

CHAPTER xv1rI.

Brother Japheth had concluded some
business at the new foundry and the
architect who was building the latest
extension to the pipe-pit floor was
heading across the yard to consult the
young boss. Rettigrass paused with
his foot in the stirrup tossay, "Old Tike
Bryerson's on the rampage ag'in:
folks up at the valley head say he's
a-loolzin' for you. Tom-Jeff."
For me?" said Tom; then he laugh
ed easily. "I don't owe him ANYTHING.
and I'm not very hard to find. What's
the matter?'
He thought It little singular at the
time that Japheth gave him curious
look and mounted and rode away with
out answering his question. But the
building activities were clamoring fol
time and attention, and his father was
waiting to consult him about run oil
iron that was not quite up to the pipe
making test requirements. So he for
got Japheth's half-accusing glance al
parting, and the implied warning thai
had preceded It. until an incident al

judges elected. Last year, We are told,
more money was spent for extra judg-
es than ever before in the history of
the State.
We are not critizing any one, nor
are We claiming that the circuit judg-
es are rot overworked. We are only
stating facts.
We believe if the legislature we're
to create four more circuits and elect
four more circuit judges the same
condition would exist. If an extra
Judge is needed the legislature had
better elect a special judge to fill in
the vacancies rather than go on ap-
pointing special judges.
Of course the State is growing, but
it has not grown fifty per cent either
in population or wealth in eight years,
though it may have done so in crime
and litigation, but we do not believe it.

SPECIAL JUDGES.

The supreme court is probably due
an explanation in the matter of a
special judge for the Horny county
term Of court. The court recommend
ed Attorney G.. P. Quattlebaum as
special judge, upon the request of the
Conway bar, when both Judge Copes
and Judge Mem1ninger were at that
time disengaged.
The appointment of special judges
is sometimes recommended when
regular judges are disengaged, f
the reason that the average circuit
judge has a full years work in COW
ering his regular circuit, and his short
resting times are not generally inter-
fered with. If the judges are over
worked, however, to such an extent
that they cannot hold a special court
once in a while, the legislature might
look into the matter Of increasing the
number.-Greenville News.
If you are familiar with local his
tory you will probably recall that
about eight years ago there we're in
South Carolina only eight circuits and
only eight circuit judges and the rea-
son, among others, given for increas-
ing the circuits to ten was that the
dockets were congested and the cir
cult judges oyerworked and if two
additional circuits we're created there
would be no need for special judges
and extra terms Of court. The two
circuits were made, and the making Of
extra Judges went merrily on.
A few years later the same argu-
ment was made and two more cir
cults were created and two circuit

BASEBALL.

Greenwood, Chester and Newberry
have not yet indicated their Intention
of joining the proposed baseball
league, but it is hoped the committee
will hear something definite before
the meeting Tuesday night-Abbeville
Medium.
The Herald and News has printed
the notices from some of the papers in
regard to the proposed baseball lea
que including Newberry, and We had
expected that some of our baseball
enthusiasts would have taken up the
matter.
One young business man, who is
not one of the wealthiest men of the
community, suggested that he would
be willing to guarantee $50 toward
the support of the league. We sug-
gest that some of our citizens take
up the matter, and communicate with
Mr.. E. G. Horton, of Abbeville.
We are not in possession Of the
facts as to the amount of money that
will be necessary but it would add to
the life Of the community during the
summer to have some first class base
ball, and we are satisfied that the
peope of Newberry, if the matter is
taken hold of by someone. will be
pleased to cooperate, and to do their
part for the maintenance of a team
from Newberry to enter this league.

THE IDLER.



Editor Watterson says of his friend,
Bob Taylor: HE is the type of man
who sees the doughnut when the pes
simist sees the hole.''
Now, that's the sort of person I am.
I try always to see the doughnut,
whatever that is, and if I understand
it right it is something good. You
know, there is someIning good in ev-
erything, even in poor mortal man.
Somebody wrote something once
about there is something good even
in the worst Of US if We would only
try to see it. The trouble with most
of US. is that we are always trying
to see the bad that is in us, and, you
know, I have almost reached the con-
clusion that the reason for that is
that the bad predominates in the most
of us. "As man thinks in his heart
so is he" That is very true, and you
can't escape it. ''The human heart is
prone to evile as the sparks are to fly
upward" The thing then to do is to
seek the good and try to see it.
There are loyal hearts, ther are spir-
it's brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true,
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best shall come back to you.
That is the sentiment l am talking
about. If you will seek the good and
true and prove good and true YOUR
self you will most always find it.
Then listen to another few lines
that's good I aopa--from this same
beautiful little poem:
! Give love, and love to your heart will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and a score of hearts will
Their faith in your word and deed.

build q good highway from Greenville
to Columbia, to be inaugurated IN
Newberry on the 10th of this month.
For Greenyille, there is all to gain,
and nothing to lose Good roads are
always good things 10 give support
to, but in this case the question is
even more attractive than ordinarily.
Greenville county has within the
past twelve months had her portion
Of this very highway worked over
thoroughly. 1t has been gone over
from Greenville to Fountain Inn, re-
located, widened, and made better IN
many respects Hence ner portion OF
any expense incurred in building a
good highway between this city and
the State capital should be proper
tionatey light. By giving hearty sup
mort to the movement, GreenVllle peo-
ple may achieve an excellent dirt road
connection with Columbia at a very
small price. Anyway, such a bargain
is worth looking into.--GreenV1lle
News.
The Herald and News is pleased to
know that Greenville is interested in
the proposed highway from Greenville
to Columbia, and we are satisfied that
the people Of NeWberry, from the Lau-
rens line to the Lexington line, are
interested, and we have information
that the people at Columbia are in
terested and that the Automobile as
sociation, of Columbia, has contribut-
ed, or is willing to contribute, $500 to-
ward the improvement of the road in
the Lexington side.
The road from Newberry to Green
Vile is now in fairly good condition.
We hope that there will be a large,
earnest and enthusiastic meeting of
representatives along the route at
Newberry on Friday Of this week.
While the purpose, of course, is to
put this one road in good condition, yet
| the main purpose of the meeting is to
create an interest in road improve
ment, and if the plan proposed on this
road succeeds, it Eli be an object les
son, and it will be much easier then to
apply the same plan to other roads.
We have been informed by a citiz-
en- who lives on the road from New
berry to the upper steel bridge, that
they will be willing and ready and
anxious to cooperate with the super
visor or with the citizens of Newberry,
or with both, in the improvement of
this road.
AS we see it, the most important
thing for the development Of the ag-
ricultural interest in our State at this
time is the improvement of the public
roads, and if we can first convince the
people that it will be an easy matter
and an inexpensive one to put all of
the roads in coo5 condition by CO.
operation, and J. little self-help, it
will not be long until all of the roads
are in fine condition. The trouble with
the roads in this section is that the
people have come to depend almost
entirely upon the changing. If they
can first be convinced that by CO.
operation, and a little self-help, they
can have roads without the changing,
the battle for good roads will be won.
This is the main purpose of the
meeting called for Newberry on Fri
day of this week.

Talking about this reminds me that
I overheard a travelling man say the
other day that NeWberry was about
the only town of its class where the
hotel porters rushed upon to the
trains and yelled the hotels. He said
that Henrys musical voice calling the
Newberry hotel, he was satisfied could
be distinctly heard at Prosperity and
that its sweet cadences were as lul-
laby to passengers on the Pullman
who were trying to sleep.

place-you might ask DR.. Harms

meditation for a good many people:
4 Primer of Life.
"You should rise high in life,'' says
the OLD Philosopher, "but don't be
possessed with the idea that you may
be able to hang your hat on one cor
ner of the moon, or that the stars viii
dance a jig for you, while the angels
keep time with a clapping OF hands.

be commended, but-don't let 1t fool
YOU into the belief that you will be
any less human on the hilltop than
ycu were in the sociable valley
You know, as I was meditatlng the
other night in the solitude of my OWL

of the people eVr stopped to think,
or if they had ever understood tie

ceive, whether it be love or deeds or
money. That is the point l want to
emphasize--that We grow and develop
and expand and broaden and enlarge
and-well, we become true men and
women by giving Of love and deeds
and possessions, and we shrivel up
and take the dry rot by Withholding
and being selfish and penurious. You
may think you can live to yourself and
for yourself. but it is mistake.
There is no living for the truly selfish
soul 1t becomes dwarf mean
the soul-that undertakes to live for
self alone. And what is true Of the in
dividual is true of the community be-
cause the community is nothing but
what the individuals are, who COM
pose the community. Then you need
occosianolly, to say the least, to get
out from yourself-and you will re-
ceive the greatest blessing and do
something for the general welfare.
Then listen at this concluding
stanza:
For life is the mirror of king and
slave.
'Tis just what you are and do;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.
There it is and it is as true as the
best preaching. You must give in or
der to receive You must help in Or
der to be helped. You must love ii
you would be loved. You must let live
if you would live. This is good doc
trine ain preaching. You know,
when take on one of my meditative
moods I feel like preaching and I
can't help it. And like to read poetry,
and the Bible, which is itself great
poem.
