NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Lyman Trumbun Took Mental Relaxation.
BY E j. Edwards

On the late afternoon OF December
day in 1871, the day on which Congress
met at the beginning OF a regular ses-
sion. | sat in the lobby OF one Of the
large hotels at Washington. watching
with intense interest various members
of Congress who lived at that hotel.
and who came in one after another in
somewhat struggling procession Con.
gress had adjourned for the day IL
was sloppy. raw. uncomfortable
evening. and snow and rain spattered
upon the sidewalk.
There came into the lobby OF the
hotel man upon whom my attention
was Immediately fixed. lie was tall
slender. OF somewhat ungainly figure
and he walked with sort OF shutting
gait. although that may have been due
TO the accumulation OF slush which
was upon the old-fashioned arctics
with which he protected his feet over
his shoulders was a queer garment. Il
seemed TO be half shawl, half cloak
but II must have been very comfort
able. and abundantly protected the
wearer from the weather.
This mans face was a study. He
had small mouth, thin lips. rather
large nose and high cheek bones. and
ascetic But / observed that through
his spectacles he flashed glances from
very bright and highly intelligent
eyes. and that his forehead was broad
and his head nobly proportioned above
his eyes. Anyone not knowing him
would have said that he was all intel
lect. and that he had no passions. good
or bad. excepting the one which was
created by intellectual power-pas
sion for knowledge and for the author

BIG MEN BUILD BIG TOWNS.

If Spartanburg is not big town
it will be because il did not have the
big men. Big men make big towns.
In most towns there are men who
make money. In the very small viii
Iages there are rich men who own
almost all the property And these
places ar5 small largely because one
man owns everything and holds on
to it.
Spartaaburg citizens want to see
Spartanburg grow 1t has every ma
terial advantage of all the other towns
around about. Has it the big men?
Men who take a broad. big vieW Of
the possibilities of the city and are
bic things for their community and
not for thamse elves exclusy ly are need
d.-Spartanburg HERALD.
The Herald states tie propositiol
about correct. Any town ;hat is to
grow and prosper must have biz men
men who can see beyond the narrow
confines OF their own little or big noses,
and see where, by doing something
for the general welfare they will reap
benefit in the end, if they are not big
enough to do little something from
a purely unselfish motive and for the
good of their fellowman. Any town
that is owned largely by few men, OF
where a few men dominate all the
business interests, can not prosper.
Newberry citizens should want to
see Newberry grow. We do not know
whether they do or not They may be
satisfied with their own achievements
and With their own conditions, If
they are that is about as bad as a:sy
condition could be fer community
or an individual Big men build big
towns. Big men make little towns
more desirable What we need is big
men, broad-minded. liberal men, who
are not entirely wrapped up in their
noble selves. Who are willing to live
and help other people to live. Who
have learned the lesson that they can
not live to themselves Alone and who
will put their shoulders together with
their neighbors and do that which is
best for the whole community. Are
you that type of man? If not turn the
searchlight on and examine yourself
and see where the trouble is and ap-
ply the remedy,

The Newberry Herald and News says
that the newspapers do not treat Gov.
Blease fairly. We wonder if so much
so-called unfairness is not just exa tly
what Gov. Blease most craves.-Green-
wood Journal.
If that is true why not be fair and
defeat the purposes Of the governor
as you seem so anxious to do. If it
is what he wants why do you continue
to give it to him when you admit you
are so terribly in earnest to be rid of
him.
On the same subject the Anderson
Mail has the following to say:
One of our exchanges is. protesting
because some of the newspapers pub
lished all of Senator Tillman's mes
sage and not all of the gubernatorial
message which provoked the senator's
letter. This paper published what of
the gubernatorial message we could
get sent to us over the wire Senator
Tillman's Office had the consideration
to send us copy of his letter II the
governors Office had done similarly
we would have acted in due apprecia-
ton. Furthermore there was not much
that was new IN the gubernatorial
III ssage. but Senator Tillmaa's eX-
planation was new.
We are endeavoring to run an even
ly balanced newspaper and not to be
a journal for the publication of politi-
cal stuff to the exclusion Of everything
else. There are mechanical Gmita-
tions in a newspaper Office.
Of course the Mail wouldn't mention
The Herald and News. While there
may not have been much new in the
governors message Ti1lman says there
is nothiag much naw in his reply. Es-
pscially the portion which seems to
have arouse1 the legislature, He says
he has said II 5efore and wili say IL
again. OF course, there are lil.lt5,-
tons to al newspapers. but The tfoH-
BILE is We always apply the limit to-

The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-01-31

We agree with the Observer that
the provision of the constitution
about increasing the pay of judges
during their term of Office is as plain
as the English language can make it,
For this reason when in the legisla-
ture fsw years ago We opposed a
bill allowing circuit judges $500 year
for travelling expenses.
1t is a good thing to be consistent,
sometimes at least Art III, Section
a, reads: No per:on shall be elgi-
bic to a seat in the general assembly
whila he holds oay of1ics OF position OF
profit or trust under this State, the
United States Of America. or any CT
