had really forgotten that Newberry
was to have a government building.
All things come to him who waits if
he labors while he waits. I was just
thinking the other day when I passed
up Friend street how much nicer it
would have been if the gentlemen who
are building that big brick house
there, for a garage I was told, would
have set it back about four or five
feet. This street should be wider. At
ter the fire it could have been widened
to the advantage Of all the people who
own property on it, but I reckon each
fellow thought it would help some
body else if he widened, never think
ing it would help him and his prop
erty. One of the troubles with this
town is it's narrow streets and when
ever the opportunity presents itself
they should be widened. Many good
opportunities have passed since l
have been here, but that has been a
long time.

I was just looking at some of these
sidewalks in Newberry the other day
after that little shower. recall one
in particular where they have hauled
dirt after each rain for at least a
year and the same thing has to be
done over and over again, whereas II
it had been fixed right at the beginning
it would not have needed any atten-
ton for years. I just mention this TO
show the folly of this patch work sys-
TEN. In the matter of streets and
roads I am a believer in permanent
work. But even permanent work
should have intelligent direction.
am glad to see the college boys
back to town and I want to bid them
a warm and cordial welcome. I went
to college some forty Or fifty years
ago. We did not have then the ad-
vantages which the young of this day
enjoy, and yet I believe there was
more effort then to make scholars
than there is today. Everything has
gotten so terribly practical and COM
mercial in this day that there is no
time to learn for learning's sake. We
go to college now that we may be pre-
pared to make money, not for the pur-
pose of making scholars. Now don't
somebody get fresh and 90 off and S:
that l am trying to leave the impress
sion that the little I went to college
they made a scholar out of ME, Tor
know they didn't, but it is fact that
in the old days the colleges turned out
more scholars in proportion to those
| who went to college than are turned
out today, but very few Of them Were
ever successful in the marts of trade
for their education was not along COM
mercial lines. But all the same I am
glad to see the young people going to
college, for it will do them good if
they apply themselves and try to make
something out of themselves. The col
lege can't do it all. You must dc
something for yourself.
