WHAT OF CHAMP CLARK?
Speaker Must be Reck0ned With as
Presidential Possibility.

Washington, June 12.-An associat-
ed Press dispatch sent out from Co.
lumbia is to this effect:
"Following Governor Woodrow Will
sons address here to the South Caro-
lima Press association, Governor
Blease made it known today that he
Intends leading a fight to carry the
South Carolina delegation to the Ma
tional Democratic convention for Har-
mon as. against Wilson. Governor
Blease thinks the ticket should ba
Harmon for President and Wilson for
vice president"
This almost looks as if the pleasant
things said by Governor Wilson about
the newspapers aroused the ire o
South Cardinals chief executive, who
is not thought to have any great af-
fection for the press of his State SIS a
whole.
However that may &c; there are
South Caro&inians ar the National
Capital who assert with warmth the
opinion in any sound calculation Of
presidential possibilities and of South
Carolina's stand in the national con-
vention, the chances of Speaker
Champ Clark, of the house of repre-
sentatives, are not to be omitted. He
has some strong admirers in the con-
gressional delegation from South
Carolina and there are those who be-
lieve that he would have a. better
chance Of getting the States vote in
a Democratic convention than either
of the other gentlemen named in a
three1corned contest for the plum.
One of the greatest troubles of the
Clark presidential boom is in getting
the Folk boom out of the way. The
last Democratic State convention in
Missouri declared for Folk.

We desire to commend Mayor Lang
ford and Alderman Rodelsperger for
the good work, and work of perman-
ent character, which has recently
been done in Boundary street. If this
work could be extended from Nance
street to Caldwell alongside the Bap-
tist church property, it would add
very greatly to the church property,
and also in the matter of widening
Boundary street, and it is one of the
most travelled streets possibly in the
city.
If it would be any inducement to
council to put down terra-cotta and
thus give under drainage and an op-
portunity to widen the street, it seems
to US that the members of the Baptist
church would be willing to contribute
a little something to have this work
done
Work CT this character is the only
kind that is worth while, anC we hope
council will continue to pursue the
policy of spending most of it's money
and energy in permanent work.

We notice that a movement is on
foot to build a national park on the
battlefield at Cowpers. The president
Of the board of trade of Gaffney is TAX
ing up the matter and will push j.
along. We want to give it our en-
dorsement and express our willing
ness to help it along. If we can't get
a park in Newberry we are willing to
help get one somewhere else.

A Land Without Ruins.

"a land without ruins is land
without memories-a land without
memories is land without history.
A land that wears laurel crown may
be fair to see; but twine a few sad
cypress leaves around the brow of
any land, and be, that land barren,
beautiless and bleak, it becomes love-
ly in its consecrated coronet of sor-
row, and it wins the sympathy of the
heart and of history. Crowns of roses
fade-crowns of thorns endure. CAL
varies and crucifxions take deepest
hold of humanity triumphs of
might are trainsient-they pass and
are forgotten-the sufferings of right
are craven deepest on the chronicle of
nations"
Yes give me the land where the ruins
are spread,
And the living tread light on the
hearts of the dead;
Yes, give me a land that is blest by
the. dust,
And bright with the deeds of the down.
trodden Just.
Yes, give me the land where the bat
ties red blast
Has flashed to the future the fame of
the past;
Yes, give me the land that hath 1e-
gends and lays
That tell of the memories of long van
ished days;
Yes, give me land that hath story
and song!
Enshrine the strife of the right with
the wrong!
Yes, give me a land with a grave in
each spot,
And names in the graves that shall not
be forgot;
Yes, give me the land of the wreck
and the tomb;
There is grandeur in graves-there is
glory in gloom;
For out of the gloom future bright
ness is born,
AS after the night comes the sunrise
Of morn;
And the graves of the dead with the
grass overgroHn
May yet form the footstool Of liberty's
throne,
And each single wreck in the war
path Of might
Shall yet be rock in the temple of
right.

We desire to call attention to the
article in this paper from Spartan
burg in regard to the Clinchfeld rail
road. It seems from this that the Sea-
board Air Line is interested in this
property, and, as We have stated on
former occasions, we believe that the
nearest and best way for the Seaboacd
to extend this line and to connect with
its own line, is from Spartanburg to
Whitmire and from Whitmire to New
berry and On to Augusta via Saluda.
This extension to Augusta, in con-
nection with the line already controll-
ed by the Seaboard from Augusta to
the gulf coast of Florida, would give
the Seaboard a direct line to the gulf
coast Of Florida, and would also put
tue ClluCuuSlO on OlEeCL line 10
Florida. The link from Spartanburg
to Augusta is less than 100 miles and
goes through a fine section.
It seems to us that this is a matter
which should have the attention of
our chamber of commerce, and either
the railroad committee, or a special
committee could be appointed to get
in touch with these railroad people
and let them know that We are inter-
ested in having this road built from
Spartanburg to Augusta via NeWberry.
1t will be recalled that the old Au-
gusua road was first proposed to
Blacksburg, but now that the Clinch-
field comes into Spartanburg, the best
thing we could do would be to en-
courage the extension Of that road as

fair dealing and straightforWardness

But what has all this to do with
that old burned building which still
stands near the union station in
Friend street? I was awfully surpris-
ed and isappointed to find the other
day, when l chanced to walk that way,
that it was still there, for I was in
formed that Mayor Langford had said
that it was going to come down, and I
was under the delusion-@is that the
right word? THAT when the mayor
said thing it was done already, and,
bless my life, that old majestic ruin
still stands sentinel, reckon as link
binding the present to the glorious
past, and the precipice still yawns.
I read something once, I think it
was written by Father Ryan, about a
land without ruins and I suppose it
is On account Of the sad and solemn
memories which cling around this old
ruin that Mayor Langford and his
council desire to keep it standing, or
to demonstrate what an efficient fire
department Newberry has. I believe
I will ask you to print that beautiful
sentiment, beautifully expressed, by
Father Ryan, though it was written
about another and a grander ruin, and
I offer my apologies to Father Ryan
for using it in this connection, but I
desire to frame some sort of excuse
for my friends of the city council and
to offer for them some sort of consola-
ton so that their consciences may be
at ease and they may be permitted to
enjoy pleasant dreams while the ruins
still point their heads heavenward.
Here it is. Ask all concerned to read
it and memorize it. 1t may be a rea-
son for other majestic ruins which
stand here and there throughout this
beautiful city.
