NOW FOR THE PARK.
The Subscription List is Ready-Er'
erybody Should be Interested.
Don't Wait.

The Herald and News has hereto
fore printed the plan upon which lt|
is proposed to raise the money for a
park in NeWberry. No active steps
had been taken until last week to see
what the people would do. The matter
has been presented only to a few OF
the citizens so far and it is gratifying
to know the hearty response which is
made to this proposition. We felt all
the while that the money could be
secured.
The idea is to extend the park all
the way from Calhoun street to the
railroad on either side OF SCOTS
creek. At present, we have options
on the land or either side of th2 crt tek
from College street to Calhoun, Dut
We are satisfied that as soon as the
people of Newberry realize that they
are going to have this park, and the
work is begun, that it will be very
easy matter to secure sufficient funds
to extend the park and that the peo-
pie who own the rea= estate will be
liberal in selling it for this purpose
and will also take some Of the stock
of the Park association.
We haye not sought large subscrip-
tions, and we will be pleased to take
them from $1,000 up. We would like
to have number Of $1,000 subscrip-
tions so that there will be more peo-
pie interested in the movement.
We have over $4,000 promised and
in fact have something like $4,000, and
VIE have not gone out to the smaller
subscribers. The park is assured, and
we would be very glad to have those
who are going to take stock to come
along and take it so that we may
organize and do some work and have
it ready for the spring and summer.
The following subscriptions, have
| been received:

And again We read: For by thy words
thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt he condemned" And
what a. beautiful truth is contained in
the following: "a man hath Joy by
the answer of his mouth; and word
spoken in due season, how good is
it," "a word fitly spoken is like ap-
pies of gold in pictures of silver" I
was just wondering if some Of those
who have been using so many words
in some of the newspapers had ever
heard Of these beautiful sentiments
and great truths to which I have just
referred. It all makes mighty little
difference to me, but do not approve
this style of argument, where one
says: "You are one," and the other re-
torts with, You're another" Now, in
cases like that I always want to see
something doing and not so many
words wasted. For all I care, how
ever, she may just roll on, I am out
OF politics.
And after all what does it amount
to? What's the use Of all this strife
and bitterness? I came across the
other day some very pretty lines,
which I want to preserve in my col
umn and pass them on 70 others. I
do not know the author, but they are
credited to the New York Evening
World:
After All.
There is nothing in life but the JOY
of the minute,
There is nothing in 1o7e mat we do
not put in it,
There is nothing can happen unless
we begin it,
There's nothing worth winning but
what we can win it.
There is nothing so sad as to set US
assigning.
There's nothing we'd do that is not
worth trying.
There is never danger too great
|. for defying,
The beauty of earth it is folly deny
ing.
There is never sorrow should
cause us repining,
For sorrows are made for the spirits
refining,
So, turn all your clouds inside out
till their lining,
OF silver shall rival the sun in its
shining.
If you think that too Yong you have
waited and str1ven,
Then you've got as mucn as you nave
given.
In the load of your burden just look
for your heaven,
For God in the world-and the world
is in heaven.

THE IDLER.

T. X X * * i y * j.
I have read some of the letters
which have appeared in PRINT in re-
gard to the dispensary situation IN
South Carolina recently. 1t does seem
to me to be an ugly mess. AS a citizen
of South Carolina, VINO IS patrlotlc
and loves his State and the good
name of all her sons, I ask, why
doesn't somebody who has the author
ity to do so let the winding up COM
mission wind up And then let US
shut down the lid and bury the whole
stencil so deep We could never hear
of it again. Seems to me there has
been nothing but liquor agitation, and
elimination, and recrimination, since
Col. Larry CAN'T came over here from
Georgia and brought this old dispen-
sary thing with him. believe it was
Larry Gantt-seems to me there was
such a name that figured somewhat in
the public eye once upon time IN
South Carolina-and if I am not mis-
taken he was a newspaper writer.
Now, here comes our winding-up COM
mission and gets a Georgia lawyer to
help wind it up, but they wont wind
up: If my memory is not at fault the
Georgian who brought us the dispen-
sary and the Georgian whom we went
after to help wind it up-but wont
wind-had some peculiarities in COM
mon~-that is to say they Were-or are
both adopts in the use OF expressive
adjectives. This latter apostle seems
to be a professional in their use.
I was just meditating-thinkin5-
after I glanced over some of the cor
respondence, and it seemed to me that
away back in the history of this coun-
try 7 heard, or read, about somebody
who said it was a good rule to write
no letters and burn none. If the first
portion of this Injunction had been
followed we would not have all this
mess, and may be the winding up COM
mission could have wound up.
Then, as I meditated I thought Of
those true words from the greatest Of
authorities: BE not rash with thy
mouth, and let not thine heart o.
has1y to utter anything before God:
for God is in heaven, anu thou upon
earth; therefore let thy words be few
For dream cometh through the mul-
titu0e OF business: ond fools voice

l read about the meeting of the
chamber of commerce and all the edi-
tor has to say about cooperating and
working together, and I reckon it is
all right. Here is a sentiment T want
to propose to the people of Newberry
generally, and to the members of the
chamber of commerce in particular:
"Watchin' the country grow don't
help none. One feller with a shoulder
to the wheel is worth forty standin'
roun', giving directions.
Now, just put that in your pipe and
smoke it and apply the philosophy it
contains ;.i:d Tnere'll oe something do

I am told that the editor has at last
taken up the work of raising the money
for The Idler's park, and that while
he has only spent about an hour he
has raised about $4,000 That is not
so bad, only the people of Newberry
should come along voluntarily and
subscribe the money for this purpose.
1t is a great public benefit. I hope
the editor will publish the names of
those who are subscribing so T NAV
see who's who in Newberry. If the
rich do not respond 7 am going to
appeal to the poor folk and ask a
thousand poor folk like me to come
across with ten dollars eacn, and the
thing is done and it will be easy to
do. The park is sure.

In a great many of the cities alld
towns throughout the country they are
observing cleaning up day. In New
berry, how would it do to take week.
Newberry is hard to wake on some
things, but in others I suppose she is
about an average.

I am sure if more people would read
more literature such as I am quoting
above, instead of so many sensational
newspapers, there would be less of
strife that hurts and of bitterness that
fingers. The preachers tell US the
world is growing better and that we
are approaching the millineum, and
1 hope it is true, but you know, as I
have before remarked, T almost be-
come doubter sometimes, when I
read of all the horrible crimes and
how greed and selishness and love OF
money for the power it brings, that
are stalking boldly through the land
I believe that before the war, in the
good old days, chat a man regarded
his word--his promise-more sacredly
than it is regarded today.

HOW ONE
WOMAN WON
der Health and Strength Back
Again by The Use Of Cardui.

Tampa, Fla.--In a letter from this
city, Mrs. L. c. Corum writes: 81 was
all weakened and worn out with wo-
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as tonic, and, from
the first day, 1t seemed to help.
/ had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardui. did not. Soon,
felt and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy is wonderful I
recommend 1t to my friends, for have
received great benefit from It."
Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
1t helps to refresh the worn-out ner-
vous system and relieves the effects Of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely yege-
table, tonic remedy for women
In every community. there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui
The beneficial effects of this time
tested woman's remedy, soon show
themselves In many different ways.

To-day is Society Day at the Automo-
bile Show.
Convention Hall, which has been crowd
ed for three days with representatives
from every circle of the city's life, will
throw open its doors to-day and enter
tain the Capital City's elite en- mssse-
The meeting of the bravest beauties of
| automobiledom with the animate and
hardly less resplendent society of a ma
tionaI capital will be an event worth
witnessing And If the mammoth han
has been crowded almost to capacity for
the last three days, to-day should see
i reservations for standing room in the
huge concourse. -
This afternoon and night the show will
be the elimination and piece de resistance
of number OF social gatherings. In an
ticipation OF the event, engagements for
luncheon and dinners to be followed by a
visit to Convention Hall have long been
standing Some merry parties ale 5X-
pected, and the huge foyer of n New York
theater between acts of the opera will be
hardly less brilliant than the Auto Show
to-day.
Buying Crowd Attends.
Yesterday witnessed a record-breaking
crowd for the present show. Throughout
the day the people streamed in and out
and slowly moved among the exhibits,
inspecting and admiring, and in no small
number of cases buying. In fact, yester-
days was a buying crowd" A large
percentage of the people who passed
through the doors yesterday made 1t
evident that they listened to the words
~ NIT II
was the\best buying day of the show. and
| few exhibitors failed to sell a car or
! work up an exceptionally good pros
pect.''
1t has become evident in the three
days the show has run that buying
will play no small part in the affair
Although the exhibitors claim to have
no great anticipation OF extensive buy
ing at an automobile show, depending
for returns mostly upon the interest they
are able to rouse in their offerings, Wash
ington's show promises to develop into an
important salesroom.
Show Managers to Dine.
How many cars have you sold?' one
exhibitor was asked.
"A touring car Monday. a coupe yester-
day, and II I don't sell a car before II
o'clock I'll give one away" was the con-
fident answer. Everybody is selling or ac-
Quiring excellent prospects for the spring,
when the big buying season opens up.
This evening, while Washington society
Is reveling in the beauty of the automo-
bile world, a Lirge number OF those who
have been most prominent in the success
of the show will gather around the festive
board at the Cafe Republique, where a
dinner will be served from 10 until IL.
The report that it is to be a stag affair
is erroneous. Many of those who have
purchased tickets will be accompanied by
their wives and women friends.

MAKING MONEY.

Brookings, S. D. June 6, 1911.
Making money is a term used to
express accumulation of property or
wealth. The phase making money
is very deceptive. No person can
make money. Money is made by law.
If a person attempts to make money
he will be put in prison. Government
reserves the right to make money and
will punish any person who attempts
to make money for himself. While
government makes the money it does
not control it and thereby hangs The
most deceptive snare the American
people have ever been caught in.
Banks and Banking institutions have
been permitted to take from the gov
eminent the control of the money
and to furnish credit to the people
and thus are permitted to exercise a
government function and to become a
paternal favorite.
Give me control of the money of
a country and l will control it's peo-
pie" Daniel Webster) Truly the
Great Teacher knew what he was
talking about when he said "The love
of money is the root Of all evil"
