American League Owes Much to Vet
eran Pitcher Who Will Quit.
The retirement Of Cy Young. which
seems probable now that Cleveland
has let him 20. has been predicted for
several years. but on each occasion the
veteran has come back and shown
that be could still deliver the goods
But it was the first time in Young's ca
reer that waivers have Deer asked on
him. and it would seem that the old
fellow might have been spared this
humiliation. since it seems certain
that zone of the other clubs in the
majors will care to carry him and he
is not apt to 20 to the minors.
Cy Young has done much for base
ball. He has been one Of the pillars
of the sport for these many years
There never was Il time hat he did
not give his club his very best serv-
ices. and the occasions when he has
not been of the greatest artistic bene-
fit during the twenty-five seasons of
his career have been few and far he
tween indeed.
The American league owes much TO
Young. When he joined the ranks Of
the new organization he proved the
entering wedge for an influx of play.
ers from the old league. Players.
magnates and the public always had
confidence in old Cy. and there is no
doubt that much of the success the
American league attained resulted
from Young joining the ranks of the
new league. OF curse that was years
ago and under conditions quite differ
ent from those existing today, and
such deeds are often forgotten in base

Trustees Regret Mr.. Wickers Retire

The board of trustees Of the New

school building in the superintendent
Office Thursday afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
All members were present, and the
regular monthly business was trans
acted.
This being the last meeting at which
Mr.. J. H. Wicker, the retiring member
of the board, would be present the
chairman, Mr.. Otto Klettner, reviewed
his faithful services to the schools and
to the community, and spoke feelingly
upon his retirement. Among other
things the chairman said:
"Mr. Wicker, we do not question
your motive and feel that good and
sufficient reasons prompted you to de-
cline to stand for reelection. Had you
decided in the affirmative, we feel con-
ident that you would have been re-
elected without opposition.
"You have served our schools faith
fully year after year. As a member
of the board, and as a member OF va
rious committees, you have ever en-
deavored to discharge every duty to
the satisfaction Of all. Personally, and
T also feel that 7 voice the sentiment

regret to lose you as a member OF this
board.
eve may at times have differed as
to minor details, but we have ever
been united in our efforts to make our
schools equal to-, if not better than,
the best schools in this State. Censure
and criticism there have been, which
at times have been as severe as they
were uncalled for, and unmerited. We
must not forget, however. that when
we accept public Office We become the
target of the public; and in my esti-
nation, a school trustee occupies the
most undesirable of all public posi-
tions. He becomes, it seems, the door
mat of the public.
= "In surrendering your position as
school trustee, this board loses one
of its most active members, the
schools a most earnest and devoted
supporter, and the public most con-
scientious, painstaking, and faithful
servant. The world We live in may
be ungrateful, but in the great and
good book we read that valuable SER
vices will be rewarded. Your efforts,
your faithful services as school trus-
tee, have not been in vain, because our
schools are on the onward march to
success, and are serving the commu-
nifty with greater effectiveness than
ever before.
"Although you have severed your
connections as an active member OF
the board we feel that you have the
interest of our schools at heart, and
will ever give US your cooperation.
Knowing your excellent worth, your
many sacrifices, and your loyalty, we
pray that Gods choicest blessings may
ever rest on you and every member !
of your family, and when at last you
shall kneel before the great white
throne may = you then receive the well |

A NATTER OF REGRET--AND A
LITTLE ADVICE.

Il ID a. matter Of sincere regret that
Col. Billy Banks, of the Anderson Mail,
can't regulate the affairs Of Newberry
county to suit hiTo. He first wanted
his old friend J. B. O'Neall Holloway
appointed county superintendent OF
education. After mature deliberation
and a suggestion from the distinguish
ed editor of the GreenVille News, he
finds that Editor W. H. Wallace is the
one man best fitted for this job or
any other position in the gift of any
body. It is all certainly very calami-
tous and it is difficult to tell what the
outcome will be-that these big edi-
tors I'D in Anderson and Greenville
can't have everything run to suit
their own notions especially lin view
of their corner on patriotism and
knowledge and discernment.
We know how to sympathlze with
them, for in our younger days, when
the perspective was roseate with the
hues of the future, did We try to reg
ulate the affairs Of the universe, and
when things didn't go our way, we felt
that the whole creation was going to
the demnition bow vows, but as
we grow older We learn that the days
will come and go and the world will
continue to revolve, regardless of what
we may say or think.
But our sympathy does 90 out to
these young men, because a fellow
feeling makes us. wondrous kind
when we can have the right kind Of
fellow feeling if there was any
thing we could do without violence to
our conscience and our sense of duty,
we would gladly render the service.
For twenty-five years we have been
continuously connected with the press,
and we have tried to be kind to and
always sympathize with our fellow
soldiers of the pen, and during all
these years no one of these soldiers
has ever put his foot in Newberry that
We did not seek to show him every
courtesy We could, and one this oc-.
casion if we could, consistent with our
duty, help Col. Billy Banks, to salts
fy his desires We would be more than
pleased. But, alas, tAas always been
so. even the editor of the experience
and ability of Col. Billy Banks, can't
always do just as he pleases or reg
ulate the affairs of all the counties OF
the State and take care of the State
and nation at the same time. There
are tasks, as you will ind, that even
the greatest of us can not perform.
We make no charge for this kindly
advice, but as you are young and the
future stretches out before you, do
not try to perform too much all at
once There are days yet to come, and
it would be wise to hold in reserve
some strength for the tasks that will
come with these days, and do not try
to carry the load of the whole universe
on your shoulders.
