"a Down Right Shame"

a stable for horse and leave cracks

Let People Raise Pigs.

COtumDla RECORD.
We have ben asked to suggest TO
city council that there should De
some elasticity in the health regu-
lations that forbid the growing OF
pigs within the city limits. We do
not know that we can indorse the
propo. ton, but we refer it as being
worthy Of consideration. We know
OF one industrial community in the
State where $50 pigs were raised last
year, and this was healthy town.
We have been told of man who
raised a pig on his back porch by
providing metal flooring and washing
the pen with a hydrant stream daily
We also know that goats are raised
in Harlem. But We do not recon-
mend goats or pigs on porches. It
is possible that there are some large
premises within the city limits where
pigs or even calves could be raised
without detriment to the health OF
the community, provided permit be
issued by the board Of health. condl-
toned upon it's forfeiture and fine
if the premises should ever become
unhealthy.

SAYS PAPERS WILL BE
FORCED TO QUIT MAILS

New York, May 9.-Don c. zeitz, OF
the New Yorld World, chairman OF
the committee on postal rates of the
American NewspapeN Publishers as
sociation, referring to the proposed
second class mail rates today, mace
the following statement:
cat it's last session the American
NeWspaper Publishers association en-
>dorsed a zone system as just ana
fair way of distributing the cost OF
mailing newspapers and periodicals.
It. was not dreamed, however, that a
rate equivalent to $40 a ton would be
charged for carrying such printed
matter 800 miles, or that 1t Woulo
reach S120 a ton in the outside zone.
NO such rate as this for any class
matter exists even in war time, TOT
the longest world routes in the way
of transportation. The newspapers
are prepared to pay, war taxes just as
every manufacturing concern pays
theirs. but to have this double load
laid UPON them without warrant and
excuse simply means that many Will
he compelled to withdraw their pub
lications from the mails and rely upon
district distribution, express and
freight routes to take care Of their
business, to the loss Of the govern
ment and annoyance TO the :subscrio-
er.
'No better plan for reducing mail
revenues could possibly have been de-
yised. It has been the persistent pol
icy, of the postofiee department in
recent years to assail second class
matter, keeping parallel all the while
with salary raising, extending rural
routes and other forms of unremuner-
ative expense: A properly constructed
postmaster general who knew more
about business than politics could
have saved a million dollars week
to the postofice and preserve our in
dustry. It seems to be the fate OF
the government to be served in the
postoffce by bureaucrats of the mar
rowest and stupidest sort. This ap-
plies to the present postmaster gen
eral."

The Redpath chautauqua is the big

Everybody is meeting each other un-

is increasing at each time.
The superintendent, Mr.. Barbee
helps greatly to put and keep the i'm

in Newberry by his friendly way as
he mingles with the people. An en-
joyable feature of each occasion is
the community singing, in which Mrs
E. E. Williamson Of this city takes
leading part by presiding at the piano
The first attraction was the Bohem'
ian orchestra, and the concert was
very fine, being the best music hearo
here since the last chautauqua; ano

pleased and entertained by the or,

people here had not forgotten the un-

The Golden Cross of Kindness.
Greenville News.

GrSenV1lle news.
Conductor Eugene B. Chase, better
known as 'Cap'n Boney Chase" has
been running on the Asheville and
Columbia division of the Southern
railroad almost since the time where
of the memory of man runneth not tU
the contrary. For at least forty years
he has been on that run and is the
best known and best liked man in the
territory he traverses. Folks of three
generations have received unfailing
kindness from him when on his train
there never was better-hearted
man anywhere. He has treated Wo-
men and children as if he were their
especially constituted guardian. has
been the rink OF courtesy, politeness
and consideration to them. LiSle
children travelling alone have been
put in his care for these many years
and no mother or father ever worried
about the child on his train. No mat
ter how hot the day, how heavy she
traffic, h owworriso ne his burdens,
Captain Chase is just as pleasant and
kind as ever. The poor and distress
ed people who have been helped by
him would constitute veritable cloud
Of witnesses to his love for his fel-
low man.
Last week it was arranged so that
Capt. Chase could "lie over" at Jones'
Vile, a little city on his run whose
people know and love him. They
wanted to acknowledge his thought
full kindness, So they rendered him a
public reception at which they pre-
sented him with a medal symbolic OF
their admiring appreciation. They
conferred upon him the golden cross
of kindness. That medal is doubtless
the dearest possession of Capt. Chase,
which no money could buy.
Here is a man who has indeed,
what money cannot buy-the deep and
enduring esteem of men, women and
children, the old and the young. He
ACQUIRED it by the kindness that comes
straight from the heart. He has held
no Office, but he has been the right
sort of public servant. He has been
neighbor and friend to thousands;
the benedictions of mothers and the
smiles of little children follow him
wherever he goes. He belongs TO the
chivalry of this world.

i TRIP THROUGH THE
COUNTRY TO SPARTANBUEG

Our party, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. V. Clary, Miss Helen Clary
and Mrs. C. A. Matthews, motored to
Spartanburg last week. This pleas
ant outing had been planned by US
to take place later in the summer.
When we were chosen by Smyrna
and Tranwood to represent their Sun
day schools at this State convention,
we decided to combine business with
pleasure. We were sorry that we dld
not get there in time to register and
enjoy all the privileges Of the con-
vention. Mr.. Clary was called to
Greenwood Tuesday on business. We
were detained wednesday until late
hour waiting for the car to be re-
paired. We went by way of Laurens.
We found the roads in good condition
until we reached Laurens, from there
until we reached Woodruff they were
in fearful condition, we could only
travel about Is miles an hour. The
remark was made, hold up when
you get to a hole in the road Well
we found that somewhat tiresome,
the avoirdupois was too great, We
preferred the repeated poundings on
the road, for we no sooner landed
on the seat before We reached the top
again.
When we realized We could not get
to SDartanourg to attend Wednesdays 3
session, we decided to hunt up some
old Smyrnaites at Riedville, IA miles,
out of our way. Rev. Cuttino Smith
and family who moved away from
Smyrna 20 years ago. we found them
comfortably located in pretty home
of their own. He has retired from
active service. We found there an
other Smyrna boy. Rev. Frank, Ligon'
son Of Rev. R. C. Ligon, who was
pastor of Smyrna many years. ABOUT
( o'clock we continued our journey
to Spartanburg being luckey enough
- strike a splendid highway. we
were entertained at the home OF an
other Smyrnaite, Mrs. DR.. W. H. Chap
man nee Bertha Mcclure. We at
tended the session Wednesday night
held in the auditorium OF Converse
college, seating capacity OF 1000
The daily sessions were held In the
First Baptist church, the largest
church in the city. We enjoyed tne
addresses of several, distinguished
speakers. among them Alexander OF
Chicago, Sellers Of Illinois, Cappie-
man of Charleston. DR.. Green OF
Greenwood, Webb and Pendleton of
Spartanburg. Many others tnat we
did not hear. The, singing was grand.
4 reception was given the delegates
Thursday afternoon and a mus1cal
nrogramme arranged for that night.
We were sorry to miss these affalrs.
Owing to a sudden illness OF Mr.. Clary
we returned home by way Of WHIT
mire on the Appalachian highway:
This was a. splendid road and well
nosted, so we could remain seated
and view the crops and beautiful
homes Union county is behindhand.
So much of the land had not been
stirred, crops not planted. AS soon
as we crossed the line we found New
berry awake. Fine fields OF corn
hoeing cotton, plenty Of food crops
Great fields Of corn and potatoes. We

AN EXCELLENT EXHIBITION
AT SlLVERSTREET SCHOOL

1t was our good fortune to attend
the closing exercises Of the Silver

were little afraid to hook up Ill

ton of the roads so We got Mr.. Sam

with Mr.. C. P. Barre and Mr. W. G.
Peterson we drove out. &
The school the past session has
been taught by Miss Rosine Singley
and Miss Virginia Rambo. 1t has been
a very successful session and the
pupils have done good work and the
patrons are pleased and the trustees
have done the right thing in electing
these young ladies for another ses-
sion. This school has grown wonder
fully in the last few years. We re-
member when We first visited the
school as superintendent Of education
some FIVE years ago it was one
teacher school taught that year by
Miss Lizzie Hawkins in little roon
in house in the yard OF Mr.. VIII
Spearman's place. Miss Hawkins is
a good teacher but the facilities for
the school were meagre. We had a
little to do with the building Of the
handsome two story building which
the school now occupies and the Sc
curing Of a rural graded school for
the district and it is always pleas
ure to visit the school. It is one OF
the handsomest school buildings in
the county and as already stated the
! teachers are doing good work and the
school spirit prevails.
They do high senool work at the
school now and give diplomas. There
were four young ladies III the gradu-
ating class and no boys. The school
has a nice piano but it needs seats
for the auditorium.
Upon our arrival Miss Singley hoA-

Quinn's death last Sunday morn.
ing caused the people of this
county to bow their heads in sor-
row for the passing of a man
who for years has been associated
with the building. of the county
and the betterment of conditions
for those who live here; a man
who, as a neighbor and citizen,
has been esteemed most highly.
He was greatly interested in leg
islation and made a study of it
without prejudice to party prin-
ciples and especially was he an
advocate of prohibition.
Charles James Quinn was born
in Montreal province, Canada, in

CHILDREN AND MATCHES; FIRE

The home of Mayor and Mrs.
NJ. Fitzmaurice narrowly escaped
destruction by FIRE Sunday after
noon. The blaze which was dis.
covered In a clothes closet. had
gained considerable headway,
but the expedient use of q fire
extineuisher by Mrs. Nan Butler
prevented further damage. The
fire caught from some matches
that little Betty Butler and a
playmate had been playing with.
The principal loss was clothing
and this was adequately covered
by insurance.
