Bedtime Stories
Farmer Browns Boy Is Just in Time
By Thornton W. Burgess
IT'S clear to every one aoith sense.
That broken laaUs have no defense.
Farmer Browns Boy.

The little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows are
quick to learn. After Farmer Browns
Boy had visited the pond of Paddy
the Beaver a few times, each time
scattering delicious yellow corn in the
water along the edge, Mr. and Mrs.
Quack understood that he was "a
friend and they no longer led the
young Quacks away in hasty fight.
In fact, they began to watch for him,
and when he drew back little way
would swim over and eagerly hunt
for that scattered corn while he
looked on in plain sight. He loved to
see them tip up and appear to be
standing on their heads as they
reached for the corn on the bottom
of the pond They had become the
best of friends, had the Quacks and
Farmer Browns Boy.
Then one day Farmer Browns Boy
was little late. Walking noise
]essly as usual, he drew near the
pond and looked eagerly for his
friends. He saw them swimming
about near the place where he was
IN the habit of feeding them and
heard several low, impatient "quacks." 4"
He smiled as he guessed that. they
were waiting for him. And then he
caught sight of something that ade
that smile vanish and brought look
of anger to his face instead.
Creeping on hands and knees, tax
ing care not to rustic leaf and
keeping pile of brush between him
and the Quack family, was a man,
and he carried gun, a terrible gun.
Farmer Browns Boy knew him in
stantly. 1t was the hunter who had
tried so hard to kill Dusky the Black
Duck over on the Big River.
"Hi, there!" yelled Farmer Browns
Boy, running forward as fast as he
could. H.
At the sound of that yell up went
the Quack family into the air and
away over the treetops before the
hunter could shoot. He scrambled to
his feet and faced Farmer Browns
Boy, and his face was dark with rage.
"Tll make you pay for this, you
young, scamp!v he roared, and rushed
at Farmer Browns Boy.
Farmer Browns Boy lodged, and
his face was as angry as that of the
hunter.
Sect out of here and get out of
here quickl" he snapped. do you

New-York tribune., 1921-11-26

A new mystery cropped up yesterday
in connection with Mrs. Margaret Eas-
ton, an elderly woman, who was found
dead October so in the rocking chair
in which she was accustomed to sit by
a window Of the house at 90 Putnam
Avenue, Brooklyn, beyond whose walls
she never had ventured in the six years
that had elapsed since the death Of her
husband, who is said to have been presi-
dent of an insurance company of this
city.
In the mail delivered yesterday at
Kings Se count was lonr mneave enveiooe
which disclosed, when opened by John
H. McCooey, chief clerk, what purported
to be the will of Mrs. Easton This
instrument left the bulk of the $500, 900
estate to daughter, Josephine, explain
ing that Mrs. Easton, having quarreled
with her, had torn up a will made by
Mr.. Easton in 1911, leaving his property
to Josephine.
Forgery, Says Attorney
HI. A. vicu. attorney for Allan J. and
Mary |. Macdonald, who recently were
appointed administrators of the estate
of Mrs. Easton, examined the document
and pronounced it a forgery. Hes was
familiar with Mrs. Easton's signature,
he said, and was certain that She had
not written that appended to the will.
Il am satisfied that it is fake" he
said, "and was sent to cause trouble"
1t is set forth in the will, which is
written with pencil in tremulous hand,
that the writer was too weak to hold
the pencil and that it was held for her
by John V. Bacot, her attorney, who
is named as administrator. Although
Mr.. Bacot is described as a New York
attorney, the search made for him by
attaches of the Surrogate's office was

To Love Manhood
and Womanhood

is better than loving and
spending time and money on
dogs and horses, much as we
may care for them.
Walking down the street a
few days ago in a Southern
city, a fine-looking old lady
was seen watching big cat,
which she was leading by a
string on the top of a garden
wall. She said it was an old
pet which she had kept for
five years.
1t is not unlikely that three
meals day for the cat, and
the time and concern in caring
for her, would count up as
much as the cost of taking care
of poor, motherless child
with no lack of affection for a
good cat.
To be awakened in the
morning by the patter Of little
feet coming to your bedside
would bring blessing on the
whole day.

THE PIEDMoNor FAIR.

The Piedmont fair will be held at
Greenwood about the last of October.
AS we have no fair it should be a
pleasure for the Newberry people to
attend this fair, and if we had fair
in this county we would say the same
thing, that it should be pleasure for
us to go over to Greenwood and see
what the people over there are doing.
And if that highway was just COM
pIeted it would be only little pleas
ure ride from Newberry to Green
wood. AS it is now there is rot a
great deal of the road yet to be built,
but it is part that is rough. But
we will have the road before so very
long. The fair authorities should do
little judicious advertising in the
newspapers.

What beautiful street we could
haev on College street from the post
office to the residence of Mr.. D. F.
Wright if that fine top soil that has
been put down had been properly
plowed and mixed with the dirt that
was on the street, but it too will soon
find its way back whence it came. We
know what we say does. not have any
effect, but it does not cost anything,
and we just can't help saying it, be-
cause we have been here long time,
and we hate to see the same old Gus
tom of Street Overseer Miller Of haul
ing sand and dirt to be carried away,
when the the experience since Mr..
Miller's day should teach US better.
We do not mean any harm and make
no charge for giving this opinion.

up to the bridge, and if the sand does
not wash away before it cements this
will be all right. 1t is a good piece
of work. But the remainder of the
road back to Garys is now in worse
condition than before the arrival of
the gang. May be it will come around
all right, and if it should have an
of the drag it would be
better. But it is entirely too narrow.
This is an important piece of road
and it would not take so long to have
the gang widen it and straighten some
of the crooks, as they did from Chap
pells to Waughnville, and then there
would be real road here.

and probably shortened his life in
years, but we do not live in length of
years but rather in the things we do
and by that standard we could say
that he was gathered to his fathers in
the ripeness and the fullness OF his
wears. He had many friends in New
berry where he was educated and
where he served as preacher of the
Methodist church. And they sympa-
thize with those who were dear to
him in the loss they have sustained by
his taking away. The death occurred
at Kingstree where DR.. Daniel was

something and have. something in
view to do and then you can keep
your organization moving. Z

I came near forgetting that say that
the road from Newberry all the way
to Little Mountain is in much better
condition than it was the last time I
was down that side and that the
scrape was at work the day we went
down. The only way to keep these
highways as they should be kept is to
have some one on them all the time
and it will be economy to do so. That
underpass at the railroad has not yet
been fixed. Wonder if there is no
way to make the railroad keep its
agreement. The railroad commission
seems to have no authority or if it
has fails to assert it or is afraid TO
do so. Wonder by the way if we stih
have railroad commission. If so it is
really still. But there is noexcuse for
any one driving a car to run over the
posts and breaking up his car and
injuring himself. Signs of danger
and warnings to slow down are placed
at either entrance to the underpass
and far enough away to give plenty
warning and the only reason for &C.
cidents is failure to observe the warn
ing. And that is the reason insist
that the highway commission keep its
promise to fence off the road at the
Jalapa school house and to give us
that acre of land. Slow down signs
and signs of danger are not needed
any more than if they did not exist
and slow down sign for the school
will not do any great amount OF good.
am expecting the highway commits
sion to arrange at it's next meeting to
carry out the promise.

ABOUT ROADS.

Speaking about roads, and we just
can not help writing about roads and
schools, and as a matter of fact they
are the two vital and important
things about which we should not
only write and think, but act. Well,
we were out over the highway to
Garys. and from there across by Mr..
L. C. Singley's to Bush river church
a few days ago., and we remarked that
the chain gang was going to build
this road from Garys to the Bush r:V-
er. Mr.. Singley told US and he was
rejoicing that real road was to be
the result. Well, do you know the
gang or some one has been along this
road, and all the grass and the sand
that was in and alongside the dltches
has been hauled right up in the MID
die of the road, and it is in worse con-
dition now than it was before this
work was done. May be there is some
process by which these legumes whlch
are taken from the sides of the roads
ard bitches, when they melt away moi
only keep moisture in the road, Du'
act as a sort of cement to harden the
roadbed. We drove over it again or

Z. II. AULL, EDITOR.

Tuesday, September 27, 1921.

We would like to have the editor of
the Saluda Standard read the article
we copy from the Christian Advocate
and written by J. Walter Daniel on
By-Ways of State History, and we de-
sire to call his attention to this par
agraph: 81 have often wondered why
the school authorities of Piedmont
Carolina, especially, and of all Caro-
lima, do not require landscape gar
dening to be taught in the public
schools. Many old and dilapidated
homesteads would become tribble in
value with just a few touches of the
landscape gardener on the old red
hills that are washing into cutters.
Visions of the cotton market have not
only impoverished our agriculturists
but cruciied sweet sentiment and
made hearts coarse as those of the
Spectator on Wall Street and as un-
refined as the love of money can make
them. 1t is high time to think on
things that are lovely. Let Caro-
hnians learn to enhance the value
of the everlasting hills, we have been
despoiling them long enough. q" And
truly let US cease to cruelty senti-
sment, as Dr.. Daniel so we'll says.
And then again DR.. Daniel says in
this same article: "The youth of th-
land need to develop an appreciation
cf the aesthetic-it is valuable in dol
lars and cents and does not debase
ones manhood.
This is the sort of sentiment we de-
sire to implant in the hearts and
minds of our people, and it is worth
whole lot even in dollars and cents.

tlced for while at Lexington, but
finally got the wanderlust and became
a globe trotter, and at last settled
in New York where he is an editor
and publisher and has succeeded.
Berley expected to follow in the foot
steps of his father and become ar
eminent physician and did take The
course in medicine and was succeed
lng at the practice and was greatly
beloved, but he heard the call to
preach the gospel and after special
course in theology was one of the
most promising ministers in the Lu-
theran church but was cut uown in
the vigor of his young manhood.
Chris Welch who led the class in col
lege was expecting to be lawyer and
to win laurels at the bar but after
teaching for several years, as most OF
the young men had to do in those days
to get start, he made it his life work
and for number of years conducted
very successfully private school to
prepare boys for college, and is now
living in Houston, Texas, having to
give up his school on account of his
health failing. Walter Daniel ex-
pected while in college to preach and
he at once joined the conference and
now has the deserved reputation of
being the greatest preacher IN the
Methodist church in South Carolina.
He is not only great preacher but an
author of several books and contin-
ues to write. Will Daniel was to be
a lawyer, but after teaching for a
year he also felt the call to preach
the Word and he joined the Metho-
dist conference, and for 38 years
preached the Gospel and was appoint
ed to the most important stations in
the conference.

l was reading the Calhoun Times
the other day, and ran across a brief
account of the opening of the Pine
Grove school, and l know it made the
county superintendent feel good to
have the reporter able to say what ne
did about the school. This is a fine
country community, a good way from
the railroad, but the people believe
in the education of their children, as
all good people do. l find the follow
ing paragraph: "The people of Pine
Grove are thorough believers in main
tanning the efficiency of their school.
They have comfortable, convenient
building, employ four teachers and
run a nine months school" And dur
ing the past spring they voted more
tax so as to be able to have nine
months school. The point is, they
believe in their school and in their
community, and therefore they go to-
gether and maintain their school. 1t
is their school. They work together
and that is the only way to have a
good school. They keep out of their
school all the petty and mean things
and all personal feelings, and work in
harmony for the good of the school
If they did not they could not be be-
levers in their school. And New.
berry girl is one of the teachers in
the school, Miss Rosa Hamm of Sill

It is sad that he should be cut down
in the full vigor of his power and his
usefulness, and it is hard for the
wife and children to give him up, but
they should recall that theirs was a
family greatly blessed. For thirty
eight years he and his wife were per-
mitted to tread the win press of life
together, and to rear all four of their
children to useful manhod and wom-
anhood, and that they had never had a
vacant chair around the freside, a
privilege which very few families en-
Joy for so many years. And while
the fathers health had not been good
for some time he was privileged to do
the duties of his life work right to the

way it would have been just that way.
Preached two strong and vigorous
sermons on Sunday, attended the op-
ening of school on Monday and en-
joyed the companionship of the wife
and friends and neighbors up to 9
o'clock Monday evening, and then at

den and the shock was great but he
had worked right up to the end of the

It seems but yesteryear when Will
Darrell and Walter Daniel and Chris
Welch and Sebe Berley and john
Hobbs and Sok Hammer and, Smash
Aull were seniors at Newbery college
and stood on the rostrum representing
the graduating class at that institu-
tica, and it was considered very
large class in those days. And yet it
as been AZ years the June just
gone. 1t was a fine class in many re-
spects, in the size and in the charac-
ter and intelligence of the young men
who composed it. l was not a mem
ber of the class, but was in college
with the boys, and l remember the
plans the boys were making for their
future career, and have often
thought since those days how true it
is that there is a destiny that
shapes our ends, rough hew them as
we may, and that so often what the
boy plans in college for his life work
frequently turns in an almost oppo-
site direction and an altogether diff
erent calling.

We notice that the city is even
