MAKE THE CITY CLEAN.

1t would be impossible to tell in
The Herald and News how many flies
there are in Newberry, because there
is not room enough in the columns of
the newspaper. We suppose Newber-
ry is no exception to the rule in the
matter of flies. But now is the time
to see to it that sanitary conditions
prevail all over the city. 1t is better
to take measures now to enforce the
rules and to follow the dictates of
common sense than it is to take a
spasm after sickness comes. We need
a hospital, but,we much more need a
concerted effort by the proper authori-
ties to enforce the observance of the
common rules of health in Newberry,
and the cooperation of the property
holders to this end. ~~H

WHY THE CROUCH?

This is from the Newberry Herald
and News:
While the press association is ex-
plotting new railroads, how would it
do to take an excursion over the Au-
gusta and Northern? 1t is proposed
to take the second trip over the c., C.
and O. We suggest that arrangements
be made for a trip over the Augusta
and Northern, a new railroad which
has recently been opened through a
very fertile section. We are satisfied
that many of the editors have never
had the pleasure of travelling over it.
Editor Aull, who wrote the above
cheerful little paragraph, was presi-
dent of the South Carolina Press as
sociation for number of years and
had the enthusiastic cooperation OF
the brethren" in all his labors nee
essary to making the annual meeting
successful. Why she should now show
a crouch is not exactly clear.-Spar-
tanburg Herald.
We confess that We do not know
what a Crouch" is as our dictionary
does not give the word, but We sup
pose that it must be something terri
BILE. We assure the Herald and the
brethren of the press that nothing ter
rible was intended. We, believa we
can truthfully say that there is No 9TH
er member of the association who has
for as many years taken as much in
terest in it as we have. And this in
terest was before and has been since
we had the honor to be president. 1t
is passing strange to US why there are
so many people who are always ready
and who seem anxious to assign i'm
proper motives. 1t seems to use that
there is an old French proverb which
is the motto of the kings of Great Brit
ain which runs something like this:

Rlease and Underwood ran together

connection there is between them and
the plunderbund ?-Cherokee News.
These people who are always talk
ing about "plunderbund" make us
very weary. 1t is nauseating, espe-
cially in hot weather. If the Cherokee
News has any facts to warrant an in
sinuation like the above, why doesn't
it give them? If it hasn't, it ought
to know that charges by insinuation
without foundation in fact emanate
only in littleness which ought to be
foreign to a newspaper-but unfortu-

WHY NOT ENFORCE 1T?

A pastor of one of the city churches
preached a sermon on Sunday morn
ing in which he spoke of the value Of
human life.
Some of the automobile drivers
around this section don't seem to rea-
lize that human life is of any value
Newberry has been fortunate so far
in having no serious automobile acci-
dents. But it is not because there has
not been carelessness and reckless
ness in driving in the city streets. And
it is not because the ordinances of
the city have not been violated. One
night last week an automobile was
seen to turn the corner between Gil
der & Weeks drug store and Summer
Brothers hardware store at the rate
of something between fifteen and twen-
ty miles an hour. There was no
slackening of speed, and the wonder
was the automobile kept all four
wheels on the ground in making the
turn.
There is an ordinance requiring all
automobiles to come to stop at this
corner, IT IS an ordinance founded in

complaint that the work is not being
done properly, and that the man in
charge has refused to take up the de-

he understood his job, and that coun'

GOV. BLEASE IN NEWBERRY.
Spent Couple Hours Here Saturday.
Feeling Fine Over Campaign
Prospect This Summer.

Governor Cole. J.. Blease spent a
couple hours in Newberry On Satur-
day on his way to Honea Path and
Ware Shoals. He was the guest while
here of Mr.. Fred H. Dominick.
In talking to the newspaper men
here, Governor Blease said he had no
doubt of reelection in the campaign
this summeh 81 have been receiving
the most encouraging letters from all
over the State" he said, including
the places which Mr.. Jones has Wis
tied in his campaign, and they are all
to the same effect, practically-that I
am stronger than 1 was two years ago.
In many of them which have come to
me from the counties where Mr.. Jones
has been making speeches against me
and my administration, 1 am told that
the tenor of his addresses has had the
effect of really Strengthening me.
From all reports which have re-
ceived," said the governor, these
speeches have been for the most part
simply abusive of me and my admin
istration, rather than a presentation
of the claims of Mr. Jones. I shall
take no notice of these attacks and
this abuse in the sense Of replying to
it until the candidates for governor
meet on the stump this summer in the
regular campaign planned by the State
Democratic executive committee. l
shall then pay my respects to them,
and what l shall say will be in no un-
certain terms.
81 notice in morning newspaper
statement to the effect that Will be
present at a gathering at Monetta on
next Thursday, which will also be at
tended by Mr.. Jones. Before I knew
that Mr.. Jones was to be present I had
declined two very pressing invitations
to attend this gathering, on account
of previous engagements which I had
made I do not know by what author
ity it was stated that 1 would be pres
ent."
Governor Blease was asked if he
cared to pay any attention to an in
-sinuation published in a weekly news
paper in Charleston, Common Sense, ,"
and reproduced in the editorial col
umns of Columbia newspaper, as to
miserable money" going to Columbia
from Charleston. Governor Blease
said he didn't know anything about it;
that it was all news to him.
Governor Blease says he is feeling
we'll, and that he expects to be in fine
trim for the campaign this summer.

I notice that the reporter remarks
that every time The Idler opens his
mouth and says something people
make remarks to him That is to the
reporter. Well, l don't open my mouth
often but when I do I say something.
l reckon it is such a rare habit in
Newberry for people to say something
when they open their mouths that
when something is said it is just occa-
sion for people to make remarks. AT
any rate, I am willing for people to
make remarks. 1t doesn't hurt me,
and I am glad for them to have some
thing to do and something about
which they can talk. They need the
recreation. You know, that the
mouth is very important part of our
being. "He that keepeth his mouth
keepeth his life; but he that openeth
wide his lips shall have destruction. -
And again: "The mouth of the just
bringth forth wisdom; but the fro
ward tongue shall be cut out" And
once more: "Whoso keepeth his
mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul
from troubles" "It is an honor for a
man to cease from strife; but every

been to Rosemont recently. was
over there the other day. love to go
there, but it makes me sad to do so,
and especially when I look around
and see the condition Of this city OF
the dead. Of course, it makes no diff
ference to them, but how must the liv-
ing feel when they. view the horrible
condition in which the city is kept.
There are no roads and no walks,
and with a few notable exceptions the.
squares are one mass of weeds and
rubbish. 1t does seem to me that II
there is any one thing that would
make the whole world akin and arouse
one noble sentiment it would be the
care of the last rsting place OF our loV-
ed ones. When we stand around an
open grave we should forget the bitter
ness and the strife and unite to keep
fresh the memories of those We have
tenderly laid there. How better can We
do this than by giving some attention
to the place where we laid them. But,
oh, sad to say how soon do We forget.
Are we a people without memories.
Go look at the city of your dead and
answer, not to me, but to yourselves.
There are few, very few, households
in this town that have not ties to bind
them to this place, and they should
be the most sacred of ties. How many
households are there without the va
cant chair. If there are any it will
not be long. Where is the civic asso-
citation? Where is the chamber Of
commerce? 1t is nice to build hospi-
tai and a rest room and library, but
if you do not give proper attention to
the city of the dead and show that you
have memories, you can never be
great. Why do we celebrate Memoir
ial day and place beautiful flowers and
evergreens bound with the red and
white upon the graves of our departed.
1t is because there are precious In.
cries which are cherished, and a
priceless heritage to be handed down
to generation after generation" And
then, too, We are better for having
done it.

the stop ordinance for automobiles. 1
notice that the signs have worn off
and they were not observed before
they wore off. Now my suggestion is
that they be painted in red and then
enforced, or repeal the ordinance and
put all vehicles and footmen on no
tice that they must keep clear the
track, that the automobile has the
right of way and you must stand aside
and then when one or two children
are killed and some vehicles are
smashed the city will wake up for
brief period. 1 say for, brief period
advisedly, for 1 remember that it was
only a little while ago that nasty old

was then enforced and the dogs were
not allowed to run at large. But, alas,

HOW TO PREVENT BUD-WORM
INJURY IN CORN.
Clemson Extension Work.
Article IS.

90 ~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~ o o
Every one who has grown corn to
any considerable extent has noticed
that while the bud-worm is of some
damage to corn planted on well drain
ed uplands, it does its chief damage
in bottom lands and the moister up
lands. 1t burrows into the base Of the
young stalks in such areas, and by
eating out a hollow in the stalk and
cutting off the supply Of sap from the
bud, causes the death Of the plant.
The customary way of remedying its
damage is by replanting. This plan,
in addition to the extra labor called
for, is markedly disadvantageous in
that such replants mature scarcely
anything.
The bud-worm is about as easily
controlled as any Of the pests attack
ing corn. The fields where it was
most troublesome last year, should
not be planted until about May /
even a few days later is better. At
this time the beetles have about fin
ished laying the eggs that produce the
worms, and thus there are practical
ly none to trouble the young corn.
This may seem somewhat late for
planting, but it gives ample time for
the complete maturing Of the corn
crop, and is of very little inconven-
ience on bottom lands.
Thorough drainage, though often
rather too expensive, is a very effec-
tive way of permanently checking bud
worm attacks. The man who rotates
his crops and turns his land deep in
the fall will be little troubled by the
bud-worm; because the adult laying
the eggs in the spring winters over"
in among the grasses and little over
the field attacked the season before,
and usually lays its eggs before wan
dering about to any extent in search
of food. Thus the fall plowing would
bury the insect itself, and the rotation
would cut it off to considerable eX-
tent from the food supply to which it
does injury in the spring.
All of these measures help, but the

Beautiful and attractive was the dis

descriptions, and the color scheme,
pink and white, was carried out very
effectively.
Among the many pretty and stylish
hats, which received much admiration,
were: A large white hemp shape, drap-
ped in white chiffon caught on each
side with French forget-me-nots and
primroses, with bunch of the same
underneath the brim; a large black
chip, rolled to the right, bound with
heavy white lace, trimmed on top with

pink roses and foliage with large
black velvet bow at back, and stream
ers underneath: large white lace
Charlotte Corda trimmed with three
or four small wreaths Of pink roses
across crown, with standing bow Of
maline at the back. Especially pref

slightly rolled to the right, with crown
of white Battenburg caught down with
satin roses and buds Of pastel shades,
Beautiful and much admired was a

front with a white aigrette and cabo-
caon with pleated maline on the side.

! churches in Texas city. He was a
fine musician, but being blind, was
unable to read in the faces of his aud
ience the great pleasure =, music was
giving. They listened enchanted and
would talk to each other about the
beauty of his harmonies, the uplifting
influence of his symphonies. At first
he played as one sure of himself.
There was no hesitation in his touch.
Then there pealed forth splendid
paeans Of praise and cadences of ma
jestic sweetness and power. AS he
played Sabbath after Sabbath they
noticed that the erstwhile triumphant
strains of voluntaries and recession
ais had given place to delicate, sor-
rowful improvisations, to plaintive
minor figures. One morning it was an
nounced that he would play no more
after that service; that his decision
was final, and another organist must
be secured.
After the service lady who had en-
joyed all his music thoroughly went
I'D to him and said, very earnestly, Il
am sorry you will not play for US
longer. / have thought many times

have received through your music. |
thank you for it,
The young mans voice faltered and
the tears rushed to his sightless eyes
as he whispered, "Oh, why didn't you
tell me? l, too, needed comfort and
inspiration.'' This should be read to
every Christian congregation in the
land. How many pastors there have
been that have suffered in silence and
resigned for lack of a word of appre-
citation and encouragement. Members
want such words spoken to them and
expect them from the pastor, but he,
also, sometimes needs a word Of cheer
to help him on his way.-The EXposi-
