Newberry, S. c., Aug. l3, 1905

My Dear Mr. Idler:
Our city, as you say, needs park;
CT parks, very badly for both the Chill
dren and t2e older people, and have
been impressed with your suggestions.
Won't you walk down and look at the
neglect and desecration that The old
6illage graveyard presents. It's con-
dition is a reflection on the city and
81 ame upon the inhabitants. There
are very few now that have any in
terest in it, and would it not be the
most appropriate honor to the dead
for the city, at its expense, to remove
to Rosemont cemetery the remains o.
all those having any memorials 20
mark their resting place?
And then to lay off this plot Of sew
eral acres for a park? The beautiful
trees are there, the soil will make a
fine grass lawn, and in a couple OF
years We would have beautiful little
park right in the heart Of the city,
at cost of a very few dollars. TIE
property is tie city's, and the city will
only be improving it's own. Walk
down, Mr.. .Idler, and tells US what you
think about it. Yours very truly,
Member of the Civic League.

In looking over some old papers the
other day l came across letter tnat
was written to me in 1909. | don't
recall now whether or not ever print
ed it. However, even if l did, it is
appropriate today and will bear re-
publication 1t deals with very i'm
portant and very neglected subject.
In fact, it deals with two very neg
lected subjects. And l have often Won
dered why our people would let tcese
things be neglected so long. T e vii
lage graveyard has long been neglect
ed, and many times nave l called at
tention to this neglect, and as many
times has no heed been given to the
cry. AS this unknt wn correspondent
says this graveyard and its condition
''is reflection on tie city and shame
upon the inhabitants To quote Long
fellow on the Deserted village"
Amidst thy desert walks the lapwing
flies,
And tires their echoes with UNMARRIED
cries
Sunk are t1y bowers in shameless ruin
all,
And long grass o'ertops e mould'rin5
wall"
And the shame is upon the inhabi-
tants of this comrunity 70 permit any
such condition. 1t could be made
beautiful place. True, many of those
who were laid to rest there have been
moved, but it is impossible to remove
all of them. And many Lave no re!a-
tives or friends here now, but those
who are buried there were once the
active citizens o.: this town. And the
town should see to it that some at
tention is given the place. I do not
agree with my correspondent tEat it
would be we'll to undertake to remove
all tae dead and make a park Out OF
this place, but it could be Aut in
good condition and kept such, and l.
would be a pleasant place to go. The
magnificent oaks that have withstood
the storms Of centuries ere there. ana
the pines are soug&ing in t brezees,
and altogether it could be made
delightful place A people W o do not
have regard and respect for such hal
lowed places can never by truly great
reople. Will not our city authorities
do something to show that we Lave
regard for these hallowed spots. Me-
mortal day will soon be mere and a
committee will be appointed on the old
graveyard, and maybe one or two Will
go down there and place flower or
two on some of the graves. How much
better it would be to have tie place
cleaned up and the vandaB kept out,
But am about to forget to quote the
letter. I don't know who wrote it, but
here it is. Read it. 1t may do you
good to know taGt some one nas some
sentiment left, and it may work
little leaven, and let us nope that 1t
will leaven the whole lump.

there is Zack Wright, must not or

He believes in park in West End,
but does not seem to have much inter-

But l was going to make sugges-

make suggestion. The cat can look

self. But for the suggestion. Here
it is: There are about forty-leven
women's organizations in this town,
besides the civic association. Now if
all these organizations would unite and
bend all their energies and efforts
toward the building of park in New
berry the thing is done, and would be
real thing inside of six mont-s. Re-
member, | said unite. The women can
Go this thing if they will. What greater
t1ing could they do Lor the town. Now
is the opportune time, when ings are

of these men talk about wnat they are
going to do and | have heard some
good resolutions made, and | have
,1eard some fine sermons, and, you

think about the empty words hear o.
brotherly love, and the beautiful SER

W! en- ese protestations Of good deeds
and so forth and so on strike against

tnrone they will be found to lie as

get together in all your societies and
organizations and clean and preserve
and beautify the old village graveyard,
or see t. at the town does it?
Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
i Some heart once pregnant with ce-
| lestial fire.
Hands that the rod of empire might
nave swayed,
Or wak'd to ecstacy the living Tyre.
And then won't you unite-yes,
unite-and build that park? You can
do it, and t ere is nothing greater that
you could do for this town. 1t will be
more profitable than luncheons and
rook and essays on Queen Mary and

that you have been doing. Just tElnk

Clemson College, March 12-The
second term examination will begin
Saturday, Marc2' 13, and continue
through Saturday, March, 20, 1915.
The Clemson cadets will hold their
annual encampment in Anderson, S.
c., from March % to 27, inclusive.
Since the encampment comes off i'm
mediately after the second term ex-
animation, this will give US, a recess
from the strain of study just preced-
ing the encampment, and take tie
place of t. annual Fair week encamp-
ment which We missed this year. We
shall all be compelled to nike it to
Sandp Springs, and there We can
board the Blue Ridge train to go the
remainder o. the distance. Reports
reach US t at the Anderson business
men ihave been generously assisting
their chamber of commerce in their ef-
forts to make arrangements for our
encampment, and we feel sure tnat
the encampment will prove a great
success, for we are all we'll acquainted
with the hospitality of the good citi-
o,,. &c Aodorcop Az animal oOc9mn-
ment is required of us by the govern
ment, and during t. e encampment,
great portion of: the time will be de-
voted to extended order drill, out
posts and dress parades. TIE camp
site is on North Main street.
Base ball practice has been in prog
ress for the past week and the out
look for a good team this year is ex-
cellent, in spite o. the fact that We
have to suffer the loss of three of our
best men, namely, Tommy" Webb,
first baseman; Parker, i ird baseman,
and Gaveden, pitcher. There are sew
eral new men showing up in excellent
shape, and at present it looks as If

game of the season in Anderson during
the week of the encampment, when the
HTigers" will cross bats witt Furman

that the Tigers can't play on tee
large athletic field, but due to the eX-
treme wet weather that has been since
Christmas, the new field is not quite
in shape. TIE first foot ball game next
year will be played on tie new field,
with Davidson.
The ollowing Is the base ball

Marketing Methods
Wholesale Distribution Of Fruits and
Vegetables Often Appear to Take
Circuitous Route

The present abundance of fresh veg
etables and fruits brings with 1t the
perennial necessity for their rapid,
economical distribution and for en-
couraging a generous and steady con-
sumption. The machinery for NOV
ing these food products is complex,
and retail dealers are often accused
Of not following closely the whole.

of glutted markets they do not cut
prices severely and aid in a rapid
movement from producer to consum
er. But the responsibility for slow
and uneconomic movement into cor.
gumptive channels is difficult to trace
The large class of food distributors
known as middlemen are often ac-
cused OF levying arbitrarily, heavy
tribute on al food stuffs passing
from the producer to the consumer.
'rhe attention of the public has been
frequently directed to increased costs
Of products rather than service rem.
dered. The new department bulle-
tin No. 267, Methods Of Wholesale
Distribution of Fruits and Vegetables
on Large Markets, does not indict
the middlemen as a class, although it
points out some of the abuses in the
trade. AS q matter of fact, say the
departments specialists, when dis.
cussing the present marketing organ.
iZation, economic laws would not per.
mit the long continued existence Of
a marketing agency which was sole
ly a parasite.
Several important factors have
contributed to the establishment of
many middlemen as necessary agents
in the present system of marketing.
Production during the last decade has
increased greatly and improved meth
DDS and facilities for handling the in
crease have been introduced. Keep
ing pace with increased production
has come the demand of consumers
for more elaborate and efficient ser.
vice Seldom is the fact considered
that service can become a very ex,
pensive luxury. With the widening
of the distance between the city and
the sources of its fruit and vegetable
supplies there has arisen the neces'
sity for special agencies to meet the
changed conditions.
The present distributive machin'
cry, with all its strong points and its
weaknesses, has been created OF
necessity and 1t has weathered the
storm of much adverse criticism. Ev
cry part of the country is now enjoy
ing the perishable products OF the
most remote districts. Any readjust

must be based upon the fact that
some agency must continue to per
form the functions Of the present day

greatly from those Of production. Us.
ually one man or one firm can not
handle both production and distribu.
ton and succeed at both. The vast
volume of business transacted at
large market centers makes neces.
sary some special agencies which can
devote all their energies to distribu.
ton. Especially does the machinery
for efficient marketing become neces.
sary when perishable goods are to
be handled. Commodities of this
sort must be moved rapidly must be
distributed evenly, and from their
very nature permit of no weakness
in distributive machinery, If they are
to be sold at profit.
Some Causes Of Losses and Waste
When the perishable nature of
large part of the fruits and vegeta-
bles marketed there must be some
loss. This often totals higher than
the farmer realizes. For instance ac-
cording to the departments market
specialists, the loss on such commod-
tiles as strawberries, peaches and
grapes sometimes amounts to 80 or
40 per cent before they reach the
hands Of the retail trade. Losses due
to spelling may be the result of the
shippers sending over ripe or dis
eased fruit or failing to give proper
attention TO packing, to loading or to
bracing the packages in the car.
Sometimes the railroad is at fault.
Delay in transit, improper ventilation
or refrigeration or unnecessarily
rough handling of cars may contrib
ute to rapid deterioration of the ship.
ment on arrival.
The lack Of proper refrigeration IA
cilities at distributing centers is a
cause of much loss. When produce
moves slowly there is often much
spoilage before complete sales can
be made. Rough handling during un.
loading or carting is another import.
ant cause of loss. AS matter OF
fact, the opportunities for losses due
to the spelling of commodities are
so manifold that it is impossible to
enter into a complete discussion OF
| them.
1t Is always well to bear in mind
the really serious side Of losses and
! wastes. The spelling of dozen can
taloupes, basket of grapes or O
crate of strawberries represents an
absolute loss to the community. Nc
benefit accrues to producer, distrib
utor, or consumer from such a con
dition. The loss occurring at this
point must be borne by both produc
er and consumer and in a great many
cases the distributor must bear his
part of the burden. The department.
specialists think in many cases loss

HOW TO OIL A FLOOR

1. Remove all dirt and dust with
turpentine or gasoline by rubbing
with a cloth. Strong washing pow,
ders are likely to raise the grain.
2. Apply a good grade of floor oil
or boiled linseed oil with cloth or
bush. The oil should be rubbed in
with a cloth. Allow to dry for eight
or ten hours.
3. Remove all excess oil by rubbing
with a cloth. Cotton underwear is
admirably suited to this work.
i. If the floor is in bad condition,
apply second coat of oil after n
few days, removing excess oil, where
necessary, as with the first applica.
