Dom inick represented the desire of a ma-' jority of ,his constituents when he voted against war with Germany. The Greenwood Index says he didn t.? i Greenville News. We will not permit you to raise a question of veracity between The, Herald and News and the Index.' 'Neither one of us stated it as a fact how the sentiment of the district was; because neither one of us knew\ We j ^ fnii/vn'innr iT-i +>10 oHifnria 1 I i t^clU LUC 1U11V n iiig, ju .? | column in the current issue of the', Greenwood Index: "We believe thai' there is almost a unanimity of feeling against war of any kind in this sec- j tion." And then in the same para-! ^ graph just four lines following we . read: "We do not believe Mr. Dom inick represents this district in his; ^ vote." It was all about Congress-; , man Dominick, this editorial from: which we quote. The Index says; * there was in its belief a unanimous j " feeling against war "in this section" j I and then in speaking of the vote of j I w- Ttmy, it five its I -JKir. lAJLUiiia&auuat. nai it -> <w "belief is that Mr. Dominick did not represent the district. We do not pretend to know. We only gave our! opinion. Since war has really been recognized of course the sentiment is -unanimous with the president. This is fine weather "ox plowing and planting and we kno-w the far mers are taking advantage of it be cause on account of the rains they -are very much behind. We wish the chiLiren of the schools < of the county a pleasant and happy j day of it in the city today. Next Tuesday is the election 011 the! question of voting two mills addition- i - al tax for the schools. Those in I charge of the schools say that more! money is needed to make the schools ! as efficient as they should be, and: these gentlemen should know, ana j we know that our people do not want! the Newberry schools to be second | to any in the State but the equal ot j any. It takes money to run them ana j under our system taxation is the ] method. If you favor efficiency in j your schools then don't forget to vote next Tuesday. ABOUT RECORDS. Col. Elbert H. Aull of the Newber- i ry Herald and Nev.s says he has offer-! ed his services to the government ana i takes exception to a statement of the ! president of ihe State Press Associa-| tion that "it is impossible for the I nomcriflTiPr men of the South tO ' shoulder arms for their country/' j There is no record of Col. Aull's hav-j ing gone to the front in 189-8, and j surely precedent should count for! something. It is indeed impossible for the newspaper men of the State, as a class, to go into military ser vice, although many of them as indi viduals will go. The address to the Press Association was directed to newspaper men as a whole. The! country needs the newspapers now I and can not spare all or its news paper men.?Columbia Record. Our good friend and Spanish war veteran, Col. William Banks, is En tirely too sensitive. We did not take any "exception" to his statement about the service of the newspaper men at this time in the economic campaign, because he is exactly cor rect, the newspapers, and the coun ty newspapers especially, are the onps to reach the farmers. Ana really, they can do a great deal more than this little army of city men ana lawyers and doctors and college pro fessors and city preachers and city editors who have been appointed by Gov. Manning to make a campaign of the State can possibly do. because if the weather is good they will have very small audiences of the people they are sent to talk to, because those people will be at home, where they should be, doing the very thing these lawyers and town teachers and cfty editors and so forth are being sent to tell them to do, planting a crop to make something to eat. -No, Colonel, we have no Spanish war record. In fact, we have a friend who "makes figures7' in one of the banks of the city who says it is well sometimes not to? nave a recoru. x>u?,i what has that got to do with this present war. This is the real thing that we are up against now. Not & trip to the beautiful Cb!ckamaugua park, and to the everglades and beau tiful flowers and fine fishing, and the orange groves of Florida. And by the way, since we come to recall it, we do believe that Col. William BoDkfc did go as a war correspondent to that Spanish war, and to get on tae[ inside, enlisted as a private. And he wrote some beautiful letters back to the The State about the trip to Chick amaugua, and the stay there, and told about the warlike appearance at this beautiful place, about the soldiers on every hand and the drays and the horses and the fine monuments that stood sentinel over the graves of the heroes of a real war. This was some time in June, 1898, and then in July the army moved on down to Jackson ville, and the colonel told about the fine camp there, and the St. Johns river near by where the boys could fish and swim and bathe, and al3o xj-ttton wm ^amtied with his LLLCLL ^/Vi, mm. v/? r regiment just near the side of the "boys. It was while the colonel was at Chickamaugua that the news came that the battle of Santiago had been fought and won (July 14) and tliere "was rejoicing and regrets that the boys did not have opportunity to have part in this great battle. At Jacksonville the boys did lots of wor& policing the streets and getting np homelike. They had a lot o: itors. We think it was about thc h of August when President Mc alev issued a proclamation declar : hostilities suspended. And soon er the boys get up petitions re esting to be mustered out. r.nd fiii y secured the gocxl offices of Sena Tillman in their behalf. We nk it was the adjutant general who it a telegram about this time to e of the regiments at Jacksonville iting that he had issued orders to as*1 firing. If we are not mistaken ran something like tills and was i -J ^ T na ' 'P'h'jn'L- V(Mi tM.'lfcJ'U lO urcii. ju.cc. i uuun j prill at once order the 7th corps to!. ase firing." That was August 12, we are not misiaken. If tbe reference to records in the vanish war was made to get us to Fer to these things, we are pleased ! do it, because we always like to j accommodating, and we suppose 0 innate modesty of Col. Banks for- j de him to refer to his own record! a we take pleasure in making the 1 item^nt for him. The boys dia eir duty then and will do it now. j lere is a difference, however, this the real thing and that was a small itter for your Uncle Sam. We ard while in Columbia the other j y that Ool.

There is no quarrel between Col. Banks and this editor. He is * very genial and pleasant gentleman whom we esteem very highly. The man at home is just as essential in a war as the man at the front.
