Tuesday, August IL, 1919.

We have printed recently several
items of news and personals which
have been mailed to US, and without
the signature of the person sending
them. 1t is contrary to the rule of
all well regulated print shops to
print anything unless the name of
the author or writer is known. This
is to say that we are very glad to
have you send us such items, and
we are always pleased to print them,
but we will follow the rule a little
more closely and unless we have the
name of the person who sends the
item we will have to decline to print
it. We will not, of course, print the
name of the person or the source of
the information, but we must know
who the writer is for our own pro-
lection. Please bear this in mind
and send right along any item Of
news that you may have, or any
personal, and we will be pleased to
print it, but let us have your name,
not for publication, but that WE may
know the author.

law abiding people constitute ma
jority in all the communities in this
county, and for them to cooperate
and to pull together for the good or
der of the community will do more
to preserve good order and to stamp
out the lawless element than any
other thing that can be done.
The incident given by the Consti-
tuition shows also that the good and
law abiding members of the negro
race realize that the best friends they
have are to be found among the good
and law abiding members of the
white race.
The point we want to emphasize is
that the decent and law abiding and
good people of any community by
cooperation and pulling together can
dominate the situation and preserve
order in that community, and that is
the only way in which it can be done.

FOR THIRTY YEARS.

Thirty years is long time to be
a subscriber to a newspaper, and
then cease. Ordinarily for a sub
scriber to say that he did not care
to renew would not cause us mo-
ment of thought. There was a time
away back in the early days, when
we first entered the publishing busi-
ness, that we did worry great deal
when subscriber ordered his paper
discontinued, or declined to renew,
but long ago that ceased to annoy,
for we always found that when one
dropped off there was another to
take his place, and that the same
thing was true in all the affairs Of
men. The workman dies, but the
work goes on. Not one of us, how
ever important we may feel about
ourselves, is indispensable to the
moving of the machinery of the uni
verse. The world went round and
round long before we appeared on
the scene, and long after we are
gathered to our fathers the sun and
the moon will continue to give forth
their radiance, and the morning stars
will sing together, as they did of old.
1t is very rare, we say for one who
has been subscriber to one news
paper in his home town for 80 years
and more, to decline to renew, and
naturally when that thing did happen
it caused us to wonder why, and yet
we said nothing, because it was per-
fectly all right, and before we re-
turned to the office there was
new subscriber to take his place. We
have but the very kindest feeling for
the subscriber who asks that his name
be taken from our list, but it does
make US wonder if he will not miss
the visits of the old paper that has
been such regular and constant Wis
itor to his home during all these
years, and why should ne not want
it any longer. It has carried mes
sages of sadness and of gladness into
! that home, and no doubt sometimes
has said something with which the
! subscriber did not agree, but would
any one desire paper that was al
together unanimous with his way of
thinking? We should imagine not.
This subscriber is one of the towns
best citizens, intelligent, educated,
public spirited and progressive. And
successful in business. The small
price we know is not the reason. We
can not imagine the reason and that
being the case it does cause us to
wonder why. The truth of the mat
ter is, we have never been able to
understand how any live and pro-
gressive citizen, who could read, Or

DAY OBSERVED
AT PINE PLEASANT.

Is there anything upon which the
ipeople are more unanimous than the
question of good roads. 1t is sorter,
like good government, we are all in
favor of good government. We are
all in favor of good roads. There is
no argument that can be advanced
against the building of good roads.
We all are right there when it comes
to the sentiment. Then why should
we be going on blowing through the
mud and bitches and over the holes
and rough places? Why not get
busy and do something. The mere
fact that we are all unanimous for
good roads does not build them. 1t
takes money and muscle and lots of
both, but it would be energy and
money we'll expended if put into
roads. Not only the roads in the
country but the streets of the town
of Newberry are no better and not
as good in proportion. And yet the
citizens of this town are refusing to
sign a petition to help get the money
so as to give the city authorities
something with which to do the
work. They would rather stand aloof
and abuse the streets and "cuss" the
men in charge for the condition Of
these highways through the town. 1t
takes money and muscle, we repeat,
to build roads. Being unanimous in
favor of the proposition will not give
US roads of itself. But the funny
part of the proposition to me is that
where the people are so unanimously
| in favor of a thing there should be
so much and so long delay in bring
| ing it to pass.
I reckon it is suffering for the
lack of a leader or someone who can
20 ahead and do things. And then
there is that distrust which is char
acteristic of the human being that
he is afraid if he spends the money
and puts up the bonds the money
may be spent and no roads worth
while built. But we must get to the
point where we will trust someone, be
cause that is the foundation of our
system of government. And then
there are many people who are driv-
ing cars in this age who do not real
ize that the cars cost any money, or
THAT it costs anything to keep them
going, some one else furnishes the
money to pay the cost. Eut the
awakening is coming and very soon
and the people are not only going

who had any member OF MS family
who could read, failed to subscribe
to both of the newspapers published
in the town. The price charged is
insignificant. And how those who
do not pay the small price for the
papers would like to live in town
the size of Newberry that did not
have newspaper, and how they
could expect to have one published
if every citizen did as they do, not
be willing to pay the small price
charged for the papers.
We knew very large merchant in
this town once, many years ago, who
never believed in advertising, and
never did any, who became very an
gry with us on an occasion when we
declined to give him free write up
of his millinery opening. 1t was the
custom of the papers in those days
to give a column each spring and fall
to the millinery openings and we
wrote accounts of the others who ad-
vertised with US regularly, and left
him out, as he did not believe in ad-
vertising we thought it would make
no difference to him. When he show
ed that he did not like it, we asked
him if he thought it would be possible
to have a newspaper published in the
town, if all the business houses did
as he, do no advertising. =;
We hope no one will misunderstood
this little homily. It is purely i'm
personal. We have often wondered
how any intelligent man could help
taking both the newspapers published
in the town. Both of them have been
here for many years. Both have CIV
en- largely of their space and their
talent and their labor to the uplift
of the community. The price is so
small that no one in this day can
complain of that. If we did not agree
| with many things that any one Of
! them had to say we would want to
see what he was saying, and would
be willing to pay the little that is
charged. And yet there are very
rich men here who do not subscribe
for the two papers, and some who do
! not hesitate to send around for
copy, and we suppose if the price
/ was charged he would become angry.
; But it is all right. No complaint
this. Simply an expression of wonder,
we suppose we might call it.
A newspaper is worth a whole lot
| to any town, and does a whole lot of
free work for which it gets no credit.
It has been very truly said that the
support given the local newspapers
is very good index of the progress
| i've spirit of the citizens of any town.
For thirty three years now the
present editor has been the editor Of
this paper. That is a generation of
man. We have been abused and mis-
understood many times, but we bear
no i'll will to any one. We have tried
to say those things which we have
felt to be for the best interests of
this community and to do our duty
as we saw it. If we had been little
harder collector possibly we would
have had some money, but after all
when we look around at some who
!! have loved the dollar more, we are
! not so sure they are any better off.
! This is a good time for you to re-
new your subscription or to sub
! scribe.

to be unanimous for good roads, but
they are going to build some.
Every time 1 60 to the country l
am impressed with the condition Of
our roads, and can not help wonder
ing why we will not get busy and
do something. That old kaiser, bad
roads, is doing lot of damage in
this country, and we should wipe him
off the face of the earth. On Sun
day I had intended to 60 to Dyson,
but was just afraid of the roads in
this county, and in Saluda, because
II wanted to go some ten miles
through Saluda county, and the con-
|stant rains have made the PROPOSE
|tion of maintaining the kind of roads
that we have an impossibility with
the resources at hand. It is not Of
item that we have such wet summer
and so many heavy rains. But
about ten O'Clock Mr.. D. C. Spear
man came by and asked me to 60
with him to Pine Pleasant in Sa-
|luda county, where there was to be
an observance of Children's Day and
dinner on the grounds. This is a
place l have been promising my
friend Mat Coleman to 60 for a long
time, and as it is almost impossible
for me to refuse to accept any invl-
tation to go to the country, l ac-
Icepted and we drove over.
The road is good part of the way,
but just before you reach Deadfali
there has been a lot of sand and
other things placed in the road, and
it is now almost impossible to get
over on account of the deep ruts in
the road. I suppose if this section
is dragged and the holes filled in as
soon as the road dries a little it will
be good. On the Saluda side the
road has been widened, but it needs
a lot of work to make it good road.
This is one of the finest sections of
country in South Carolina. 1t is the
home of the Colemans, and they all
have good country homes, and they
certainly knew the art Of making
something to eat, and then they
know how to serve it and to prepare
it. The Kempsons ard the Longs
also live in here and most of them
went from Newberry originally. In
fact YOU will find lot of Newberry
people all about in Saluda county.
The fine country homes over this
side. with all the modern convent
ences, and the fine farms, only IN
creases our desire to get to the
country and all that keeps US in town
is that we have not enough money TO
move to the country, and can not
fix up the home like we would ike
to have it. But some of these days
we hope to get there yet.
Pine Pleasant is one of the old
churches in this country. The or
ganization is probably more than
hundred years old. This is the third
house that has been built. 1t is OF
brick and one at the present site
was destroyed by fire a good many
years ago, and there was house OF
worship before that few miles from
the present building. The congre-
cation and membership are not large
but the members are alt good sub
stantial farmers Of the community,
and the congregation at present is
served by the Rev. W. r. Anderson
Of NewbeTy.

Rev. Luther Bell, one of the pioneer
missionaries of the Baptist church
He was a Missionary to India away
back in the early days Of the last
century. He died in 1886 and ON
the slab over his grave it is stated
that he was the pioneer who opened
the way for the Judson mission in
India, and that he also undertook to
found a great Columbian university
for the education of the people in
the city Of Washington. understand
that one of the organizations of the
Newberry Baptist church has under
contemplation a hike to this spot to
study the life of this pioneer of the
denomination.
At the morning service on Sunday
the children held the boards and
very interesting and instructive pro
gram was rendered, and the children
were we'll trained and did their parts
mighty well. The training I learned
was under the direction of Mrs., G.
W. Coleman who is a fine musician
and certainly understands the train
ing of children. Mr.. Mark Long is
the superintendent of the Sunday
school.
After these exercises a most ex-
cellent dinner, and in great abund-
ance, was served on one long table
in the beautiful grove which sur
rounds the church. My friend Doc
Spearman was uneasy that I might
hurt myself, but you know dinner
prepared and served like this it is
impossible to hurt yourself, because
these good ladies know how to pre-
pare it. 1t was certainly fine din
ner.
After the dinner hour Rev. Mr..
Anderson preached an earnest ser
mon and with it began a series of
meetings which will last several days
during the week.

schoolmate Marcus Payne over here
He is now living in , Southwest
Georgia and is prospering down
there. He is on visit to his old
home and kindred and friends in
this State for few weeks. He moved
from this section of Saluda TO
Georgia some eight years ago.
Mr.. G. w. Coleman had charge Of
the Children's Day exercises and he
did the job we'll and also sang some
beautiful solos. Doc Spearman lived
over this side some years ago and
every one knew him and was glad to
see him. I was glad, after I did not
get off to Dyson, that he came along
and gave me the pleasure and profit
of this day in this fine section Of
