' business prospects tonight in a letter
to Secretary McAdoo, of P:.e treasury
department, congratulating him
(upon the opening of tne new federal
reserve bank system.
"Fundamental wrongs once righted,

Mr. Wilson referred to the new tariff
law, the new currency law, the new
trade commission law and the labor
r provisions o the new anti-trust law as
the means through which "the soil
everywhere has been laid bare out oi
wiioh monopoly is slowly to be eradicated."
He added that "undoubtedly
the means by whid: credit has been
set free is at the heart of all these
things; is the keypiece ci me wnuie
structure."
Referring to the "inopportuneness"'
of the currency law the president said,
"The war whicti has involved the
(whole of V': e heart of Europe has made
it necessary that the United States
should mobolize its resources in the
most effective way possible." He
spoke of the difficutly of marketing
the cotton crop of the country and
added that "no doubt in the light o
the new day with its new understandings
the problems of the railroads will
^ > also be met and dealt with in a spirit
f of candor and justice."

[ I -lane been told that Joe Werts is
i still in town and that he is doing some
I sort of work, or putting some sort
I I
i of red clay on the street along by
! the opera house, or somewhere down
i there. Well, I wouldn't do any one
i an injustice if I knew it, and i: 1 did
j no one would be quicker or more will|
ing to correct it than I would. Now,
; Zack? beg pardon?Mr. Hon 'Mayor
J Wright, why not pave t at street with
i brick to correspond with the public
J square? It should have been done
i whpn rhaf oth^r Davin2 was done, but
* . I
i as I -have remarked aforetime, there
| is no use to talk about what shou'd
; have been done. What we want to
i talk about now is what we are doing
j and what we are going to do. We
want to look to the present and to the
future. The money you waste in patching
would be much better spent in permanent
work and it would be econmy.
Don't you see it? Can't you see
it? Well, Joe. old boy, do the best you
can ana i win always ininn wen 01 i
you.
They do say that the good Baptist
i sisters did enjoy their stay in Newberry.
I knew toey would. They
.couldn't help it if they are the least
bit human. It is just Newberry's
I way of doing things, and sCe can't!
help it, because her people are just
built that way, to make peop-le feel
at home and glad they came and sor-;
ry they have to go. They tell me they
are going to Spartanburg the next
time. Well, all I have to say is, that
Spartanburg will have to be up and doing
to keep up with the pace set by
Newberry's good women. Some pessimist
suggested that we couldn't entertain
them?tVat it would be too
much of a tax on us. Why, bless your
heart, they tell me that there were a
rmmhpr nf hnmps where rhpv wpre
prepared for many more than they J
had, and some people were asking for 1
delegates.

And then t'.:e editor tells me that
there are some people who did not
exactly like somet' ing that I said in \
my last. Well I am awfully sorry,
because, upon my horor, and just

iwiac mt; a.xiu )uu,i i! uugui i inas wining
the best and prettiest and sweetest
piece that I ever wrote. Not to
go any further, I was just trying to
do my very best, because, you know,
I kinder thought some of the 'good
women who were our guests would
j see it. and I wanted them to think
{ well of it. If I said anything that was
J not right, or was in the slightest de|
gree calculated to hurt the feelings
i of any one, why, bless your dear heart,
j here goes ray most humble and abject
apology, because 1 would not under
any circumstances in the slightest degree
wound the feelings on any one.
j The only thing I feel perfectly right
i in hurting is a snake and a mosquito.
Why I can't o.en kill a chicken. I
am tender hearted and sympathetic.
Let's forget it.
?o? !
( r e local man or ine Herald and
j News seems to be very much prejudicI
ed against footifrall, and very much
! in favor of the movies. Well, there is
| no disputing about Castes. I have
I never seen but one game of football
and that was a good many years ago
when the thing first started. Well,
now I am not so sure about that, be
cause it may have started way back
yonder before I Avas born, and I am
not so dreadfully old. Any way it
was about the first I heard of it. I
know there was no ootball nor baseball
either when I went to the old field
! school. We rad something we cailed
j town ball. We had bases and we caught
! out and we knocked out and we scorj
ed. 1 reckon town ball had its origin
j with the town boys and that way got
j its name and baseball is improved
i town ball. Any way,- I saw one game
of football and it was not so awfully
dreadful. 1 don't think any one got
seriously wounded, though a young
man in one of the teams did cet kill
ed afterwards. Now, I think there
are some movies that do more ha" a
' to the child mind than football does
I o tr~e boy body. Then there are some
I good and instructive and elevating pic;
tures among the movies. But these
1 that have horrible accidents and all
sorts of blood and thunder adventures
?are they helpful and elevating? Do
they teach good lessons? But as I
don't go to t.l. e movies maybe I have
no light to say anything about them.
At any rate, 1 am not going to have j
any argument with any one about ;
them. Because we ave the war and I
the low price of cotton and the cry of!
no money 011 our hands and these are I
enough for any one to have to talk .
about.
?o ?
By the way, talking about the war,
do you read your Bible, that greatest {
of all Bocks? Have you read the 24t.Ii '!
chapter of Mattj ew, in which Christ j
foretells the destruction of tr.e
I
tonjipie? And the disciples asked r i
the sign of his coming. "And ye shall J
hear of wars and rumors of wars; see 1
that ye be not troubled; for all these
things must come to pass, but the end ;
is not yet. For nation shall rise I
against nation, and kingdom against
kingdcm: and t.;:ere shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes, 'n
divers places." And then, after telling
them what they must ao and must
not do and V. e iniquity which shall
I
abound, he says: "And he shall send .
his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they so.all gather his !
elect trom tne fcur winds, from one
J ~ C 1 4. ~ 4-U * U ~ ~
enu ui uea veil iu me uiuci". .>w?
learn a parable of the fig tree; when j
his branch is yet tender, and putteth
forth leases, ye know that summer is
nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know to at it is
near, e ven at the doors. Verily I say
unto you, this generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
Then you remember Paul in one of his 1
letters to Timothy said: "This know
also, ti"at in the last days perilous
I
times shall come." And then in that J
samp connection he goes on to say:
"For men s/oa-ll be lovers of their
own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, 'without natural j
affection, trucefcreakers, false accus- j
ers, incontinent, fierce, despisers O; j
those that are good, traitors, heady, I
highminded, lovers of pleasures more j
than lovers of God; having a form of j
godliness, but denying ti:e power,
thereof: from such turn away." Isn't!
that a pretty good enumeration of j
present day conditions? It is truly I
an age of selfishness in whi-ai we
live. Isn't this an age in which the
form of godliness largely prevails? J
Don't you think this is the greatest I
transistion period in the world's history
in which we live? Is it probable ? at
we are nearing the beginning of the
end? It shall not come until the gospel
has been preached to every nation
It does not say until ei.'ery nation has
been converted. Has not the gospel j
been preached to every nation? I am !
not going to get into any argument on j
this subject either, but I just want you j
to think a little. You remember how !
the people did in the days of Xoe. j
T ink about this catalog of the nine- |
tc-en sins enumerated by Paul in his j
letter to Timothy, and turn about you |
i
and see <:'o\v many o: them are pre- |
vailing in this Christian land of ours j
and that Chrisitan* land over yonder j
where the war is raging and brother ;
is killing brother. And think about i
how "Ve have heaped treasure for the i
last days." "For t):e coming of the <
Lord draweth nigh?Behold, the judge
standeth before tre door."

BUSINESS DEPRESSION
RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Winter No Longer Casts Before iz
Shadow of Terror?See Continuous
Improvement.
Washington, Xov. .l??All information
reaching government departments
here indicates that t?-e depression
which overtook business enterprises
:n the United States when the
European war besran is vanishine. Ttu
hopeful outlook for American ventures
was summarized today by Secrej
tary Redfield in a letter to the Chamber
o Commerce of tr.e United States
l in which he declared:
! "Let t..:e worst be said and admitted
1 that can be said respecting existing
j business difficutlies in America, our r
uiMiuiiiuji &iiii remains not oniy relatively
brigt t, but rapidly improving^
and in many respects both prosperous
and bright."
"One can not Hit sympathize with
; the misfortunes that have befallen industries
in all the belligerent counI
tries," said Mr. Redfield, " and therel
i fore, so mu'dh more grateful that
no like fate threatens our own. No
observer of the large movements of
our commerce today fails to recog
nize the great improvement that has
been made in business conditions
within t..e last few weeks and which
is still progressing.
"The course of exchange has become
more normal. Clearing house
certificates are being retired. Large
sums of emergency notes have been
withdrawn and "with the opening of
the federal reserve svstem ereat ad
ditioual supplies of loanable '.unds
hava . become available. Tftere no
longei is serious coucern over our
financial future.
''Cotton prices have begun to mo've
and existing arrangements promise relief
from t&e shadow which so long"
has ' ung over the South.
"The coming winter throws no such
dark shadow before as was feared a
few weeks ago, and the statement is
beginning to be heard here and there!
that xoods can not be delivered as
I promptly as they are wanted because
j the factories are tco busy,
j "\\ e may be grateful, therefore, in
j a teiise both calm and confident, not
I only that we are far better off than
i
ou?" suffering brethren beyond the sea
but t'.ct "we are better placed ourselves
'.;t home than we were a few
weeks L-ince. We may be glad that the
present is good; thank ul that it is
growing better and hopeful for the
coming months."
WITH SEWSYSTEM WORKING
BOARD LOOKS TO FT TI RF
Are Already Cons der/ntr Means b$'
Which Tl:e> May Enhance Its
Usefulness.
Washington, Xov. 16.?Although the
12 federal reserve banks began business
only today the federal reserve
board already has before it plans for
widening their field of operations and
increasing t:.eir store of cash. No definite
data on ti.:e business done was
available tonight, but Secretary Willis
telegraphed each bank for an acount
o: its rediscount business and expect
ed to lay a report before the board
tomorrow.
The board may not be willing to
draw definite plans from one day's
business, but. thelfirst week may Cave
a material effect and may result in
augmenting the cash of the banks by
more than $1 SO,000,00. The board
has unuer consideration the deposit
of a large part of the loose cash now
deposited in national banks.
If the first week's rediscount business
shows that tr.e reserve banks can
use more cash, the board probably will
sugest the adoption of this plan. It
there is about $110,000,000 in the
treasury available for this purpose,
and t^:at about ?64,000,000 of the ,
$79,000 n00 now in banks on deposit
for the government could be transferror?
