who were taken right from the farm
who have been trying for some time
to be released so that they may re-
turn to the farm where they are
greatly needed, but they can not get
a discharge. Why not try to get
some of them out also. A great many
who have been released are not from
the farm. That is those from this
county. Turn your hand to some of
the white farmer boys, Mr.. Senator
and turn the trick for them.

This would be good week for
every one to devote little time to
the effort of cleaning up the old
town. Of course we should keep it
clean all the time, but inasmuch as
the Newberry college club has ex-
tended an invitation to all the alum
nj and former students of Newberry
college to pay us a visit next week,
we should do little house cleaning
so that they would have the feeling
that ewe; had fixed up just because
we were expecting them. We should
all want them to 60 away feeling
that not only the old college but the
old town as we'll was prospering, and
a little attention to the personal ap-
pearance of town as well as an in
dividual goes a long way toward Civ
ing the appearance Of prosperity and
makes people say nice things about
YOU. That's what we want these
boys and girls to be able to say
truthfully when they come and go
away again to their homes.
Then there is great need for a lit
tie house cleaning along many Of our
streets and around our homes not
only because we are expecting vis1-
tors but because it is good thing all
the time.
The grass and weeds are taking
possession of many of our streets
and sidewalks and if we can't fill all
the holes in the streets. we might at
least NOW some Of the weeds and
grass. How about it?

Maybe the members of the present

ON BEING NICE.

ON BEING NICE.
A magnificent lion one time met a.
little mouse whose home was being
attacked by wild cat. The lion i'm
mediately chased the cat into the
offing and protected the mother
mouse until her brood could be
moved to safe hiding place.
Some time later the lion became
caught in a net and would have per-
ished had not the little mouse hap
pened along and gnawed the ropes
in two, releasing the lion.
A fable, yet one that possesses a
mighty lesson for all of US.
No man or woman ever becomes
so powerful that he or she can afford
to snub or ignore the person who is
less fortunate in his accumulation
of the material things of this world.
Then, too, there is that democracy
lin America which may make the un-
derling of today the lion tomor-
row.
From a purely selfish standpoint,
it pays to be nice to everybody
Greenville Piedmont.
And the man who is riding in the
chariot today may be- rolling :, the
lwheelbarrow tomorrow. When we
place our basis Of greatness on mon
'ey we do not know where we may
turn up. The fortune goddess, is
very tickle. She may WOO US today
! and tomorrow we may be the sub
''ject of her scorn.
And besides, if we are going to
measure things by the commercial
yard-stick it pays to be kind and
courteous and helpful. We may not
see it today, and we may indulge our
baser natures and gloat over the fall
'ure of our neighbor and rejoice in
his mishaps and downfall, but tomor-
row may be his turn to laugh
There is a good and true saying in
the good Book something like this:
If YOU cast your bread upon the
waters it will return after many
days, and sometimes the days are
not SO many.
We very frankly admit that it is
beyond our mind to conceive how so
many people worship at the shrine of
gold. Money is good thing to have
i'm this day and time, and we sup
pose was a good thing in any day,
but just to want money for it's own
sake never broadens OF develops the
best that is in us, and only tends to
dwarf and make small the soul of
man.
1t is good if properly used, and to
properly use it is to serve your fel-
bowman, lend a helping hand to the
struggling, and try to make better
man and a better citizen out Of him.
The man who is blessed with wealth
of silver and gold and misuses it will
some day find that it was like a rock
around his neck. And then to be nice
costs so little, and makes you feel so
much better, we can not understand
how any one can be otherwise. But
there are some such, and unfortun-
'ately they are not few.
We have always been Of the opin-
ion that it was one defect of our
teaching in the schools that we did
not teach the Importance of being
mice. or in other words we should lay
more stress upon manners than we
do.
Any education is defective where
! it is neglected. It is just as import

WHY NOT A GREATER NEW
BERRY COLLEGE.

WuuS IIIS 4\S"SSAAy >SA~J we
lese club is about it and making ar
rangement to entertain some 500 or
GOO alumni and former students of
Newberry college at the approaching
commencement, and the thing will
be done if they come, why not start
a drive for greater Newberry col
lege and have an institution that
will be a pride to Newberry and full
ly euipped with money and men to
do the work of any institution in
the country, without the worry and
time spent by the president in beg
ging money to meet the pay roll!
We can do the job if we get behind
it with the right sort of enthusiasm.
1t takes enthusiasm and faith to DO
things and without them all our ef-
forts will fail, because they will be
half-hearted, and no such work can
have even the semblance of success,
and even if it should it would at
least be but semblance.
We need to wake up and discover
our. college and appreciate in some
measure what it is worth to this COM
munity in a cold business way, and
greater still what it is worth to the
community as an uplift and helper
in the building of men and women.
We know from sad experience
what it is to be worried with making
the ghost walk every Saturday. We
had the job for thirty years and
more. We now are beginning to re-
alize what it is to have that load
lifted and how much easier it is to
do the other things that come our
way. The same is true in some meas
ure we might imagine with the pres
ident of the college. Start the drive
and drive it to a success so that he
may be relieved Of that load and
then say to him, here now is the col
lege, and here is the stu@ with which
to make her move and do big things,
and If you cant do the job then say
so and we will see. if we cant find
some: one who can. Not meaning to
say that the president is not equal
to the task, but meaning to say that
if we are to have a greater Newberry
college then we must get together
and let the world know that we mean
to do something. It takes money,
yes, but we can get the money if the
thing IS gone after in the right way
and with the proper spirit.
Times have greatly changed and
we must change our methods Of op-
Grating if we are to keep moving.
We can no longer drag along in the
good old way and expect results.
We must not get far from the good
old foundation, not at all, but we
must wake up if we are to accom-
plish results.
Furman and Sewanee and the 9TH
er colleges are moving and they are
getting the money. We must pay
our president and our professors
more money and say to them here
yon are now get busy and give US
the best that is in you.
This is the time to make the drive
to put Newberry college on the basis
it should be and make her lead the
way. Not be satisfied with being
the equal of any, but aspire to be
the leader in the educational world.
We do wish they would hurry up
and sion that naaca troatu Wa wont
