experience which was entirely differ
emit and neutralized the first lessons;
even then we had to unlearn the frst
lessons. It is waste Of time. and
energy to learn things wrong; It IS
better to know less than to know 50
much Of what is not SO. OF course IT
is true that some people drift into
right channels which is good for
them, but you cannot depend on .
drift. So it is well to stick to beatan
lines unless you are dead sure that
you are genius-they belong TO an
other class, and am writing about
the normal, average individual.
These boys and girls Of ours are
going to be men pretty soon and they
are picking up ideas Of life right
now. A boy does not wait until he IS
able to vote before he has opinions.
Most Of us think opinions COME with
whiskers and families. The reason
we do rot hear more Of boys opinions
is because We do not talk to them
seriously and respect them.
Your boy knows pretty well your
opinion Of yourself and the race and
Of life. He has some, too, but you DO
not ask them. he hears you say that
the Negro lawyer is no good, that the
Negro engineer can't survey, that the
Negro business man is fake and
that all the Negro ministers are a
fake and that it is presumptious for
a Negro to attempt the practice OF
dentistry and medicine. He is taught,
at school all about Washington and
the other historical characters. When
he does hear Of worthy Negro he
finds out that he is a long time dead.
He hears you talking about live men
of other races, for whom you would
sell your soul. One day you wonder
why he wants to quit school and get
a job. After he gets the job you
wonder why he does not save his
money and perhaps go into some sort
of business. What business, pray?
Who have you helped to succeed in
any business that it might be an ex-
ample to him? He has YOU siews
and sticks to them. His early I'M
pressions are lasting. ,# D..
The success Of that Negro in your
town is more than matter of the in
dividual; it is a matter of inspiration
or Encouragement to the young peo-
pie in your town. These failures and
successes are almost purely racial at
this stage of our development. Most
of. the men who go at things are In
some manner prepared; not all OF
them come up to ideal standard, but
it is hard to reach ideals Of culture
and professions and business if a man
has not money to give some leisure
for thought. Your support, moral
and financial, will help. 1t will help
more than the man; it will help the
boys and girls. When business gets
large men need assistants and your
boy or girl is the logical and practl-
cal recipient of the job. Did you ever
notice Row the other fellow works it?

It's up to Uncle Sam to deliver the

While Chicago women are study
ing politics as she is politicked, they
shouldn't be misled by what they
read in the papers.
The kept press in Chicago, under
the leadership of the Tribune, has
sought to make it appear that the
law and the gospel will be found in
the county board only in the bullying
bosom of Aleck Mccormick.
But that's politics. And Tribune
politics at that.
When members of that board
wouldn't obey Tribune orders, they
were dubbed ''roughnecks."
Those who obeyed orders were
gentlemen.
But most of the worlds reforms
were accomplished by ''roughnecks,
and very little of reform has been
done in evening clothes.
To the tory press of his time Abra-
ham Lincoln was ''roughneck," in
the sense that he wasn't raised in a
plug hat and dress suit. 81,

Any fight he makes for the people

THE SMALL POX SITUATION.

Quarantine Friday.

Health officer John c. Adams on
Thursday afternoon shortly before
The Herald and News goes to press re-
ports verbally to the reporter that the
board of health has the small poX sit
uation under complete control; that he
fumigated and turned loose two cases
on Tuesday, which left II cases in the
city, 10 Of which are in one family,
living in the suburbs, and that he Will
discharge all but two cases Friday
This is a true report and it shows how
greatly exaggerated has been the sit
uation. The latest new case was two
weeks ago.
A message was received by NJ.
Adams from Rock Hill asking if it
would be safe for delegates to attend
the meeting of the Students Volunteer
convention which is announced here
fer Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mr.
Adams unhesitatingly and willingly
answered that it will be absolutely and
positively safe to visit Newberry then
ard now and at any time
The report Of Mr. Adams puts an en-
tirely different phase on the matter.
Ten cases in one family is not so
alarming as 10 cases in 10 families,
which has about been the basis of cal
culation of some people in their ex-
aggeration, Judging by the Wildness +

an automobile which it is claimed was
stolen in Charleston three or four days
ago from Mr.. Simmons, father of one
Of the young men.
The young men appear to be aged
from about II to 20 years. The arrest
was in response to telegram received
by the sheriff from Sheriff Mccain, Of
Columbia. Sheriff Blease got the
news about $50 o'clock Tuesday even
ing and Immediately became busy. The
young men were arrested the next
day, while two Of them were enjoyilg g
a ride in tae automobile with two
young ladies Of the city. They were
detained under arrest.
The affair was settled by the coming
from Charleston Thursday Of Messrs.
Simmons and Miles, fathers Of two Of
the accused, and the returning to that
city Of the parties concerned. Baker
is from Washington.
The halted would-be travellers say
if it had not been for lingering in
Newberry they would have been out
CT the State, probably escaping ar
rest. They were on their way to San
francisco when the heavy hand of the
law stayed them here. They say they
remained in Newberry so long because

they were having so pleasant time
they hated to leave. so they just lin

Bad Boys Grow to be Good Men.

Some years ago, or, "once upon
time," as a story runs, while the
reporter existed at Helena, there
lived in that village two small boys,
who, he put down in his mental note
book, would grow (if they grew to
be rather wild young men, or, at
least, somewhat reckless in their
ways. Not that those then little boys
we're so awfulIy bad, or worse than
tne general run of small boys-some
were much worse-but he just put it
down to general principles, having
those two particular boys in mind.
They grew to young manhood, sober
and industrious, gaining and retain
ing the good opinion of their fellow
citizens, we are glad to say. The
point is this: You can not some
times always" tell how things are
going to turn out Frequently good
little boy grows up to be a bad big
man. while very often the bad small
boy grows to be a good man.
1t was also during the existence"
of said reporter in the village that
two little boys living in Newberry
went to the Helena school. The re-
porter neld the same opinion Of them
as he held of the other two, on the
same grounds. They, too, grew to be
worthy citizens of Newberry, and all
of them are now young men of good
character, we'll liked and successful
in their various occupations. We can
truly have a word of praise for each
one, as all are deserving, and we
dislike to draw comparisons, but
would like to say (and the saying
does not detract from the others)
that one of these young men T. as
true man as NeWberry has ever
produced. 1t would be too much to
expect that everybody should hold
the same view, but the reporter says
without hesitation, that the young
man in question, who (will be taken
by surprise at this) has been tested
and tried (weighed and not found
wanting) has proved himself to be a
man whom it is a pleasure to esteem
in the highest degree. And in these
days it is grand thing to have the
love and admiration of good men,
when there are so many "little heart
ed" men who are not worth respect
ing.
