wishes in respect Of marriage. Then

By her grand father she is forbidden to

THE IDLER

@ @ . o 9 o 9 p @ 9 o 9 9 o o 9 g
l notice from tie papers that Mr..
Wells is going to put on picture this
week called the Fifth Commandment,
or something like that. l judge from
reading the press notices that the les
son to be taught is obedience to pa
rents. A picture that will do Uiat is
worth while. Then this command
ment is the only one that carries with
it a promise. Honor they father and
U3y mother: that thy days may be long
upon the land which the LORD thy Goo
siveth thee" Here is the promise OF
long life. do not tink there is more
beautiful sight in all this sin cursed
world Of ours than to see children
faithful and true to their parents, and
the contrary presents the most horrible
picture that can be imagined. NO
painter or sculptor can do 1t justice.
But you can. tarn around you most
any time and see where it seems that
the children forget their parents, and
so sure as the Bible is true and God
is in his holy temple, no good will
come to them in this world or IN the
world to come. A picture that will
imnress the lesson of obedience and
respect for parents will do good, and
| am always glad when I see the
movies place on the boards picture
that carries a good and healthful les
son, and there is none that l can I'M
agine in this day that is more needed
to be impressed than respect and nonor
for parents. There is nothing so beau
tiful as loyalty and loving devotion on
the part of children for their parents,
and this should not stop VIXEN the
children set up homes Of their own.
1t is true they are told that they must
forsake father and mother and set up
their own castle, but that does not
mean that they should forget tae pa
rents who are always mindful and So
licitous of them, nor Should they fail
to honor them. No good can come to
those VINO do, if the Bible is true and
the teachings of the Christian religion
mean anything.

THAT APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY.

The booster trip over the Appalach-
ian highway has been postponed until
Friday. 1t was to be taken on Tues
day morning, but owing to weather
conditions in the mountains, it was
thought best to postpone it and so Col.
Watson gave the information to The
State and The Herald and News prints
today an article from The State CIV
ing information of the schedule and
other matters pertaining to tie trip.
There will no doubt be quite number
of cars from Columbia and this prom
ises to be the biggest boosting trip in
the interest of good roads thatGas ever
been held in South Carolina.
The schedule of the trip appears in
the article quoted from TIE State and
it will be seen that all along the route
there are to be meetings held and the
people are aroused. This road means
much for Newberry and Newberry
county, and we hope to see the people
at this end of the county get aroused
like they are from Newberry on to
Waitmire. And in the live town of
Whitmire.
Col. Watson and the Columbia peo-
pie who will be in the party would be
pleased to have short meeting in
Newberry, and The Herald and News
would suggest to the members of the
central committee that meeting be
held from the steps of the old court
house on the public square. And that
a few short booster speeches be made
and that short talks from some of the
visitors be scheduled for the occasion
You can't build roads with hot air,
but it is necessary to keep up the en-
thusiasm. We want to see the people
of this good town of Newberry awak-
ened to TIE value and importance OF
this road to the town of Newberry and
maybe few rousing short talks might
Sawaken them. 1t would help, we are
constrained to believe.
Col, Watson in talk with the ed
itor of The Herald and News, said he
had secured the detail of Engineer
Spoon from the federal department of
roads and that he would be ready to
come within the next ten days and
could spend three days.

1t is called "The Riddle" and rid
die it is to the fond parent to see the
ingratitude or neglect Of a child. At
the top of the poem, as printed in the
paper in which 1 read it, is the picture
of a sweet looking old woman in ner
grandmother's cap and a sweet smile
on her wrinkled face Truly, whats
an old woman's reward?" when she IS
neglected by her own offspring, or an
old mans for that matter.
"Whats's an old woman to do when
her kin q
Fail to remember that hands, worn and
thin,
Cared for them, shaved for them, all
the years through
What's an old woman to do?"
But here's the poem in full. Read
it, young man, read it, and remember
these old parents will soon leave you.
They watched and cared for you
through many night. You know not
the sacrifices they made for your well
fare and your happiness. You are for
tunate to I:ave them with you. Let
them know that you love them. The
time will come when you will be will
ing to give almost anything if you
could only recall them for few short
days that you might assure them that
you cared for them. 1t will do t1eir
souls more good to let them know that
you are interested in them and care
for them while they may still be with
you, than all the flowers you may place
on their bier, or all the tears you may
shed, or all tie marble monuments YOU
may place over their last resting place,
and, believe me, it will do you more
good than anything you can do. Re
member the Fifth Commandment.

The play at the opera house also is

of this line of-well, if l had thought
about writing this scuff had l not read
this little poem. 1t is very impor-

Somestimes it seems to me that we are
getting away from the old bearings
and the old time religion. and the chill
dren of this day are wiser than is good
for them-that is in some things. !
think tat the moral law as handed
down to Moses should be taught in our
schools. All human law that is worth
while is based on this law. And If
we had less of human law and more
observance of the divine law, l opipe
this would be a better and brig ter
world in which to live. AS an old man,
let me have the privilege of saying to
the boys and girls of this day, forget
not your parents, but honor them that
your days may be long. Some day
you will be old, and if you should then
recall what l am now saying you will
say tat l was right. There is no
more beautiful picure in all this world
than to see an old father or mother
leaning on the strong arm Of robust
son or daughter, and that son or
daughter giving loving support to their
parents, even though they may have
set up t. cir own. household. 1t was
old Shakespeare, I beliege, who said
something about the ingratitude of a
child being sharper than a two-edged
sword and more poisonous than ser
pent's tooth. And it is true. Nothing
can sting the heart of parent with
more deadly poison than the ingrati-
tude of child, it matters not how old
that child may be, it is still a child
to Il e parent. But am going to quote
that little poem.

THE SWORDS FATE

Swords they were. made of the finest Of steel
Keen were they-so that the foeman might feel
Pain of the sharpest-wh death standing near
Terror, and horror, and torture. and fear.
Swords they were-hright with a sver-bue light
Cold as the moonlight on ice in the night
Notwithstanding at flesh and at bone,
Killing in thOusands-or killing alone
Swords they were-then in moment Of peace,
Men laid them down for bit Of release
From all the ighting-and they were alone,
Dull and forgotten as fragments of stone.
Swords they were, but in the fires red heat
They for the first time have suffered defeat
Poured into molds by a calm-loving race;
They have come out with a plow's noble grace.
Oh that the swords Of the nations might be
Melted in fires that over the sea
Victors might say Of their blood-reddened spoil:
Swords they werc-nOw they are tng the soil"
