The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-03-08

through some clippings" a piece OF
poetry headed "Post Mortem Praises"
and wish to copy just one verse o. it
1 hope the readers won't tire in read
ing these few lines of it:
GIVE noticed when fellow dies,
No matter what he's been,
A sanity chap, or one whose life
Was darkly STEPPED in sin,
His friends forget the bitter words
They spoke but yesterday,
And now they find multitude
Of pretty things to say.
I fancy when I go to rest,
Some one will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act
Long buried out of sight;
But if it's all the same to you,
Just give to me instead,
The bouquets while I'm living
And the knocking when I'm dead"
So if we haven't any bouquets to give
the editor who has toiled day and
night for so long time, giving out
the news regularly to his subscribers,
I think we can speak some words of
praise in his behalf while he has the
privilege of hearing them. AS the au-
thor of "Post Mortem Praises" says,
tets leave some of the knocking off
and see if we can't find some pretty
things to say" If we would do unto
others as we would have them do unto
US We would very often leave off some
of this knocking, or unkind words, as
you may call it.
If you remember, in the beginning
of this article 1 called to your memory
that wouldn't be assigned to any one
subject, but must say something be-
fore I close about the promptness OF
The Herald and News in furnishing
the news while it is news, regardless
of time and expense. This is worthy
of special mention; as all of you read
ers will agree that you enjoy reading
the news better while it is fresh.
While on this subject I desire to call
your attention to the awful tragedy
of the small girl near Little Noun
tain, the victim of british, beastly
negro man, which occurred on Friday
afternoon, November 25, 1910. AS you
remember, The Herald and News
printed a four-page extra in order to
give an account Of this crime. The
lynching of the negro occurred at Is
minutes after 10 o'clock Friday night.
Now, bear in mind the distance that
the newspaper man had to travel that
night in order to gather the full de-
tails of crime and return to New
berry, and by daylight next morning
the extra was printed and being cir
cuIated. All of the subscribers re-
ceived a copy on Saturday.
This kind Of feats should linger in
our memories for quite while and
remind us that if we will Just stop and
think for a moment when about to
speak ''bitter words about our fellow
man, we could find some pretty things

office was with John Blats and Burr
Johns publishers of the NeWoerrg
Sentinel, which was located upstairs
in a wooden building on the site OF or
near the site of the present building
occupied by Blaustein. I went on the
Sentinel in the summer OF 1899.
worked there a few months, and tnen
went on the Rising Sun, published Dy
Thos. P. Slider and Thos. F. Creme
ter up-stairs over where the Mower
company is now located. WORKED
there during the fall and winter OF
1859 and during a part of 1850. The
latter part of the year 1860 I went to
work on the Conservatist, puDllsneo
bv SiIas tombstone and James D.
Nance. in Law Range. worked on
the Conservatist during the remainder
of 1850, and during 1861 until the time
enlisted in the Confederate States
army.
served the Confederacy in Co, d.
3rd S. C. Battalion. for the four years
of the war.
Coming back to Newberry in the
spring of 1865. went to work on the
Newberry Herald, published by Thos.
F. Greneker, on the corner where the
Mower company is now located, and
continued on the Herald for several
wears. I then went to work On the
Progressive Age, published by Thos,
p Slider and R. H. Greneker, the
plant being located upstairs on the
site of where is now LeavelPs under
taking establishment. The Progress
sive Age had comparatively short ex-
istence, and went to work on the
Newberry News, which was located
over where is now Pelham's drug
store.
After I had worked on the News Two
years I quit the printing business and
naoved to Laurens. After engaging IN
the carpenters trade in Laurens for
about thirty-two months, came back
to Newberry. By that time the New
berry Herald and the Newberry News
had consolidated.
When I came back to Newberry, |
jursued the carpenters trade for
while, and then went back to the
printers trade, on The Herald and
News, then owned by Thos. F. Creme
ker, and later by Aull and Houseal,
and then by the present management.
I have been on this paper practically
ever since.
I was with the Newberry Herald in
1866, when the big fire occurred. The
Herald was then located over where
the Mower company now is. What was
left of the Herald plant was moved
into what was known as the Brown
building in lower Main street. The
next issue and the next several is
sues, until the plant could be replac-
ed, were printed on the old army re-
versible press. Not a single issue was
missed.
More than half century is a good
long time. Looking back over that
period, memories Of the goodly COM
pany Of the knights Of the stick and
rule crowd round about me. Most OF
those whom I knew in the younger
days of my life have passed to their
final reward. I trust they have found
