Friday, October 27, 1916. fid DeCamp says that he has lost thousands of dollars crediting people -for his paper and "not a blessed - se of those wham we he.ve attempted to accommodate feel that they are *ader any obligation to us." Cer; tainly not and more if they have the ?P?>ortunity they will do what the^ can against you. Don't we know. And are like you, "110 longer are we going to credit anybody for subscriptions." up during the campaign or not! as soon as it is over all who do not l?y will come off our list. We took off |10,000 at one time due for subscriptions and not a one has been paid. Cash is the only proper rule. ! An interesting legal question has developed in the court at Greenville, j A man and woman were convicted of j adultery some time ago and the sen' tence was suspended. They went away and both secured divorces from their respective spouses in States that recognize divorces. They went to North j Carolina and were married and sub- j I sequently moved back to South Caro- j I lina. South Carolina does not recognize divorce laws and so they were again .brought into court and the judgs4 holds that they will h?ve to serve the sentence for the crime of which they "were convicted, that so far as South Carolina is concerned they are not legally married. The case is to be carried to the supreme court. The point we were thinking about also is, suppose they were to go ahead eAT*rrt + V? o an liro AiiU v c tuw otxJLwtiivt auu bu^u xut together as man and wife would they foe violating the law of South Carolina, and certainly they would if the decision of the court is sustained, ? ?? mi LAR Conov Cable, 1 1 / =c CJ just as much as they are now. 'Would they be tried again or would it be a case of being placed in jeopardy twice for the same offense. Nn doubt there are lots of people in South Carolina in the same condition of this couple and who are now maintaining happy homes. The chain gang under Messrs. Will .Miller and Tom Cameron is doing some good work for the roads in the Jolly Street community. If the people of chat section will just organize some split log drag clubs now and keep them active after each rain the roads will remain good. They worked our road by the old Aull place and as soon as we can get it dragged and another bridge built it will be ready for travel. In fact we drove over it on Tuesday from St. Pauls on to Prosperity. A little travel and a littlefdragging will make it all right. There are a couple right good hills but then there are hills all through this section. Captain W. S. Langford writes an 4 interesting letter from Texas which is published in this issue. He talks about the boll weevil and tells "how the people out there are working it and warns the farmers of Newberry nrpnaro fnr if We should DrenarG for the coming of the animal and if we do not it will not be 'because we have not had sufficient warning. In one of his iarticles of "Bleaseism" Koester strats out with this statement: "1 hate, abhor and abominate factionalism, I mean the kind of unbridled passion that makes you vote for a bad candidate, ben-msp hp han pens to be on your side of the factional fence, in preference to a good candidate who happens to be on the other side. In fact, factionalism is often so blind that it makes those under its influence incapable of seeing faults in a candidate lined up with them or virtues in one of conflicting partisan persuasion.s^VThen such factionalism is generally rife, you get nv 1 vy i r er, Kin: Wellin MASO I I v ^ 1 ! % There is a R rronm nf 4-o r+or viwoiii wi iai icu, is used in Royal Be it is the best and mc known for the purpc Phosphate and i rived from mineral some baking powder tartar, because they If you have been powders made from use Royal Baking I will be pleased with difference in the quali ROYAL BAKIN1 New some sorry public officers, because It enables men to come to the front through vociferous proclamation of their factional affiliation who would get scant attention in times of quieter and more judicial thought." t Neither has this writer been a factionalism though we have seen factionalism carried to the same extent, and even further, in times not so warm as they were in the days of the Tillin m sway. We have seen what we I term good true men and educated men and men of high standing in the community say that a certain candidate was the best fitted by far for a position he was seeking and then turn around and vote for the opposing can' didate simply because they did not ! a?rep with the candidate the other : man was going to vote'for in another race.

In writing up the de:th of Mr. .Luther Watkins, an account of which appeared in the last issue of this nanpr thp tfross Hill corresDnndent of the Laurensville Herald, says: "Mr. r?Vatkins w-.:s a young man, only in his twenties, and leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Watkins, with several brothers and sisters to mourn his death. He came to Cross Hill two years or more ago and put up an automobile garage and repair shop in which business he continued until last spring when he went to Greenwood to follow a similiar vocation. After he was taken sick he went to his father's about a week jago wJiere he died Sunday morning. Mr. Watkins was a quiet inoffensive young man, & favorite among many of his associates, a member of Bethabara Baptist church, and a useful citizen." The rumor is current on the streets that'several Newberry men made big money in recent cotton deals. nrn cuwk i m uwm riend to be mar1 an appropriate :e of Hand Paintlina adds wonderr and elegance of i jewelry engraved : Variety Store rhousand Things 111 <1 it rucn 1 T It V Player j Player I ?T 95^*^ * Reliable Stand ndio Near Depot f ' ?' jm
