Refuse to advertise in your paper. 6. Do not invest a cent; lay out your money somewhere else. 7. Be partieilar to discredit the motives of public spirited men. 8. Lengthen your face when a stranger speaks of loeating in your town. 9. If a man wants to buy your proprty ask him two prices for it. 10. If he wants anybody else's, in terfere and discourage him. 11.Refuse to see the merit in any scheme that. does not exactly bene fit you. 12. Run down your newspapers. 13. Run down your officers. 14. Run down everything and ev erybody but Number One. 15. Talk in the barber shops and loafing places, of how bad times are, of how everything and everybody is going to the ''demnition bow-wows." -Gaffney Ledger. We have changed the head and numbered the paragraphs. Brother Deamp heads these fifteen ways Thus: "'To Hurt Your Town.'' All of them when faithfully followed and practiced will do just what the Ledger says-Hurt your town. We want to call attention espec ially to numbers 2. 7 and 14. If you read this article at all go back and read these over again and ask your self if you are dving any one of them and then ask yourself again, * and ,be honest with yoifrself, if you - do not agree with the proposition ~that by sodoing you are hurting your town. And remember always that you cannot hurt your town r,ithout hurting yourself. The re salt is inevitable and unavoidable. Suppose we repeat them. ''Oppose improvemenli.'' Certainly there is always some one ready to oppose im provements, on the score of .cost or the possibility of leaving s.debt to the cehildreb or that we are not ready. You have heard all these objections urged- to any improvement that 'has been suggested, even if the objeetors would admit the improvement was aeeded and would be economy to anake. When you oppose the im provement on these grounds you are ~hurti:ng your town and yourself. ''Be particular to discredit the motives of public spirited men.'' There is always some one ready to assign improper and selfish motives for anything which is advocated for the public welfare and the general good of the commanity. Did you ever notice that ? It is unfortunate That it is true. Everytime you do you are hurting your town and yoursel. ''Run down everything and every ibody but Number One.'' That is an expression of selfishness. Whenever you do it you are hurting your town and yourself. What we need in Newberry is to remember that the doing of any one 'of these fifteen~ things will hurt the town and at the same time hurt us individually. We need to organize a booster's club and a get-together spirit 'and deterr ine to speak a good word for the community and for the people and if we can't then hold our tongue.

What a great town for the drug business. * * * THE IDL. * * To The Idler: I believe that a good many people read your column: and I want you to ask city cou.neil what has become of the instruction that once was writ ten across the wall in the opera house, "The police are instructed to observe order," and if now order is not to be observed. I was at the play of St. Elmo and in some parts it is serious and frequently in the midst of the most serious and sol emn speech there was so much heavy walking or mumbling eonver sation that it spoiled the play. It was not exactly what you would call dis orderly conduct, but it was not ex setly courteous. I think just to call attention to it will suffiee. - Yours, Ziniidad. -0 Now, I am willing to pass that on and ask the people to ;be more eon siderate of the nerves of Zinidad. I know she does not mean to criticize any one unkindly but is of that dis position that wants to hear every thing that is said at the opera. As for myself I go out so seldom that I never am disturbed. about any thing. But it does seem to me that people who go .to the opera house ought to have -regard for others. And I don't see why any one wants to spend his money for a ticket just to. go there to talk. Seems to me it would be cheaper to talk on the out side. Then if city council would cause to be put down some noiseless mat ting or carpeting those who come in late or who have to retire would not make so much noise with their feet. These are only suggestions for the public weal. As stated I go very rarely to the opera house. When Buster Brown, or some good old sweet play comes along I like to go out, but otherwise I care very little about it. Therefore, what I say is purely impersonal and unselfish. While speaking of 'the opera 'house there .is another matter which is real ly of more vital importance than anything yet mentioned and I have often thought of it when there was a large crowd present, as for in stance to free shows, commenee ments and such like gatherings. And that is the lack of facilities for getting out of the thing. Have you ever thought of what' would be the result with a crowded' house if for any cause there should be a stamn pede. The alarm of -fire, for in stance, or a fire in the building. Have you ever. noticed how long it takes 'to empty a full house?i It is a. little better now since the gallery does not 'have to wait but an alarm of fire resulting in a stampede would cause a lot of easuailties. You who go to the opera had better begin thinking about this 'if you have not already done so. Those who have attended the opera im other towns and eities will recall how easy and quick it is to empty the 'house. I have been handed the following: A lady says 'hand this to Mr. Aull and tell him to give it to The Idler as she .thinks it expresses his samjtimens: Blessings for the Weary. But I thirA the King of that coun try comes out from. among His Iire!e.'S host. And walks in this world of the weary, as if He loved it the most; For here in' the dusty confusion, with eyes that are heavy and 'dim, He meets again the laboring men who are look-ing and -longing for He cancels the curse of Eden, and brings them *a blessing instead: Blessed are they that la4bor, for Je sus partakes of their bread. He puts His hand to 'their~ bur'de0ns, He enters their homes at night: Who does his best shall have as guest the Master of life and light. This is the gospel of labor--ring it ye bells of the kirk The Lord of love came down from above, to live with the men who work. This is the rose that He plante!d here in the thorn-cursed soil but Lt 1jn: r earta is t!. -Henry Van Dvke. -0 "Blessed are they that labor." I am one of them and while the re ward has never been large yet I have always felt that I was blesse)d in being able to labor. In fact I have not much patience with the drone or the idler. I love the work ing man and the unselfish man, the man who does unot do all that he does for his own selfish greed. The Idler. FINE GARDENING. What Mr. Hudson Does Could Be Done by Every Farmer and Should Be. "The Oaks," Newberry County, March 8, 1910. Editor Herald and News: I saw mentioned in one of .the city papers last week that .the editor had seen English peas up in one of the gardens, as if it was something -unusual. Let me tell you as an example to country and city people what an old veteran has done in the way of gar dening without the aid of "the brother in black." We have had several varieties of vegetables the whole winter and had English peas and celery until late in the winter. I have kept the whole garden in some kind of vegetables, so that yes terday in order to maJe room for fresh plantings I took up and fed to the stock several bushels of salsi fy, .three or four wheel barrow loads of winter cabbage and a number of loads of turnips. We still have sev eral varieties of salads, onions, beets, and lettuce to eat and a large lot of cabbages that will head next monta and tomato plants in boxes, ready o put out the irst of April. I will transplatnt cauliflowers to day and other things as fast as the weather will permit. In addition to this, I have made a nice flower yard, hauling perhaps 150 wheel barrow loads of leaf mould from the woods and have planted fifty varieties of roses besides va rious other kinds of flowers.
