Now, here is Ed DeCanp talking
about "grouchy." Who is "grouchy"
and what is it, anyhow? Listen: "El-
bert Aull, of Newberry, is becoming
grouchy. Every time anybody refers to
him these days he takes it seriously.
Shake yourself, old boy, and get right
again." Now, Ed is fine fellow, but
Ed was never more mistaken in his life
if he thinks Ebert Aull holds any i'll
will against anybody, for he never felt
more kindly to all mankind than he
does at this time, and less inclined to
controversy. 1t does pain us, how
ever, to have so many otherwise clev-
er people (who are editors), because
we happen not agree with them on
some matter, assigning improper mo-
tives. Why can not people disagree
with you without your being every
thing that is bad in the catalogue OF
badness?
"Grouchy"-well, we do not know
what it is, but if it is something ter
rible We asure you that we are not
that
Listen, Ed: Broaden your vision.
Think more kindly of your fellowman.
Don't let any politician interfere with
your happiness. Don't conclude that
the world has gone to the demnition
pow-wows if things don't go as you
think they ought to go. Don't imagine
that all patriotism and all civic right
eousness is centred in any one man.
and that because some one does not
agree with you that he has no good
in him. Don't take all your ques from
the big and little dailies. They may
lead you far astray Get that linen
duster and straw hat and HE you away
to the press association. We are sorry
We can't be with you, but we can't
leave home during commencement.

Won will help me to get The Idler's
mark. O, it is so easy, that it makes
my heart sick to think that the good
people of Newberry will not wake up
to it's importance. l had become al
most disheartened, but went over to
Willowbrook the other evening, and
when 1 looked at the happiness there
among those children, and the grown
ups. too, | could not help from saying
to myself, why will not the people on
the other side come across and build
a park for the town, and I determin-
ed then and there to make one more
appeal. and here it is. What will you
do? Why wait? Thre was never any
better time than now. In fact, it is
all you have. Yesterday is gone for

The State executive committee has
arranged a separate campaign for the
candidates for the United States SEN
ate which is well, but really there is
very little use for a campaign at all.
We feel sure that the people Of South
Carolina are going to re-elect Senator
Tillman if he lives. If he should die
the lists will be open for other entries.
We hope Senator Tillman will not at
tempt any campaign. He will be elect
ed without it and the strain would be
too much for him.

The Press association decided to
hold the next annual convention at
the Isle of Palms, which we think a
wise decision. The best results are
obtained from these annual gatherings
by having them at some resort hotel
where all the members live as one
family. This can not be had by taking
the association around over the State
to exploit towns and communities.

I was just thinking-yes, thinking
the other day what a great work Mr..
John Kinard could have done for the
poor of Newberry if he had taken up
my suggestion for that park-The Id
ler's park-and put the enthusiasm in
it that he put in the hospital. If he
had done so when I called on him a
few years ago the park would have
been here, and we could have been en-
joying it this very year. And the poor
people would have helped him. IT he
will look at his list of subscribers to
the hospital a little closely he will
find that he has raised his subscrip-
tons from the poor people. Look at
the names and see how out of proper
ton to the means are the subscriptions.
Then the poor people could have enjoy
ed the park while the rich went away to
Iu6 Ill I1IO anu ~
would have helped them to stay out
of the hospital. 1t would have given
them a little recreation. Mr.. Opportu-
nifty is still knocking at your door,
Mr.. Kinard. Will you open the door
and let him in? The land can still
be had. Go over some evening and
take look at beautiful Willowbrook,
and see how the children enjoy it, and
see what happy and beautiful children
they are. 1t will do your very soul
good to see them. Take some OF your
rich friends along with you. The
poor people are ready and willing and
waiting They will help you. They
ask you to lead the movement. They
helped to make the rich. The rich
can't carry away with them to that un'
known land any more than the poor.

THE IDLER.

o @ @ o @ @ . 9 @ @ o @ @ 9 @ @ @
I read the following in some news
paper the other day, and it struck me
as being pretty good, and always like
to pass on anything that think is
good so that it may help some one
else:
"This world of ours is not so very
large after all, but do not try to carry
it on your shoulders. Leave that job
to Atlas and attend to your own busi-
ness. He is used to it,
Now, know that you have seen peo-
pie who acted as if the whole world
and all it's cares and responsibilities
were on their shoulders, and that when
they passed out there would be no one
left who was worth while. 1t is well
for all of us to remember that no one
of us is indispensable, and that the old
world will rock along just about the
same when we are gone The point is
not to worry yourself with the idea
that you are the whole cheese and
that all wisdom is centred in you, for
it amt The other point is that you
will feel better and be happier If you
attend to your own business and let
the other fellow do the same thing.
Another excerpt which was found in
the same connection may be apropos
at this time. 1t does us good some
times to pick up little hunks of phil
osophy and of wisdom:
eff there is a candidate, State or
county, who was not poor boy, very
poor, and had to work and delve and
tot, all the years of his youth, he will
please report. A sight of him would
give us a little variety"
Well, in this great country of ours
you know it is our boast that the poor
est and the humblest may rise to the
highest position within the gift OF the
people, and we have some notable ex-
amples where this has been done, and
there is no harm in the candidate tell
ing of his humble origin. The men
who are born with silver spoons in
their mouths do not amount to much
any way. If he has won his way in the
world by life of service for the good
of his fellowman he has a right to be
proud of it, but maybe it. is just as
well not to be telling about it all the
time, and / reckon that is what lis
editor meant by this paragraph.

1 see that the town is going to have
"a hospital Well, reckon it is a good
thing-in fact l know a good hospital
is a good thing. The thing is to keep
it going up to the standard after tits
built. 1t seems to me that l used to
ier than the running of it after it is
built. 1t seems to me that I used o
hear an old adge which ran something
like this: can ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" or words to
that effect. l was just wondering if it
would not be good thing to have in
connection with the hospital little
precaution taken in the matter of pre-
venting disease. In the matter of
clean town, for instance. 1t does not
take a person with very good eye-sight
to see that we are rather short on this
thing you call clean town. I know
we had a cleaning up day, but it only
lasted for one day and that is not suf-
fcient. One cart for the whole town
can not begin to do service for town
| the size of Newberry. Look around
you at any place you please and see
the condition, and then ask yourself il
my point is not we'll taken.
