TO ORGANIZE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR NEWBERRY Or rather we should say to revive the Business Men's League, or to get some sort of organized body, a meet ing is called to be held in the court house at Newberry on Tuesday after noon at 5:30 o'clock. Every one should attend this meeting. There is always great need of a commercial organiza tion- in a town the size of Newberry, but at this time and in this crisis such an organization is a positive necessity, and it would be almost an ~ -c tn the community itCL \JL and to the State and to the nation for any citizen to fail to cooperate in the formation of some sort of organiza tion. There are many things to be done, * and that can be much better done by an organization, that we feel sure all of the citizens of Newberry will give hearty cooperation to the organ ization. The call is issued for those who Tvere and are members of the Busi ness Men's League and all other citi zens of the town to come and join and give hearty cooperation. In the city of Sumter the chamber of commerce is doing great things to cooperate with the farmers in grow ing food stuffs, and where they have no seed, arrangements are being made to furnish the seed and to assure a market for the stuff when It is grown. And possibly Sumter is the best and most thoroughly organized county in the State. But the most important thing that such an organization could do now *- ~in tho r?res and toe most vzuu llllllg iii WMV t . ent emergency would be to take up the matter of marketing the food stuffs that we are advising the farm ers to raise, because if something along that line is not done it will be useless to urge the growing of them. Read the call for this meeting and then every one make arrangement to attend. It is important to the com munity, to the county, to the State to the nation.. One of the important things tnat such an organization should consid er is to assure the farmer of a mar ket for his foodstuffs when they are grown. That would be the greatest incentive we could give him to in crease his production along this line. The average farmer is planting more ?n this year than usu al, but he is not trying to do more than to assure a sufficient produc tion for his own farm, because he feels that if he should grow it there will be no market for it, or rather no way for him to market it at a profit, -or even at the market value and get 11 ~ non fr\T Vlfq the money ior it ime lie WOU 4V4 cotton. We heard a man say the other day that some few months ago a man liad some corn he wanted to sell. He asked a merchant what corn was worth and found that it was selling at that time at $1.30 per bushel. The best price he could get offered for the corn he wanted to sell was 90 cents the bushel. .Now me mwtuwn, who was selling corn at $1.30 per bushel paid more than ninety cents for it, but he would not give the farmer but 90 cents. We heard an other man say that he had a certain variety of peas that the merchants In Newberry were paying at least $4.00 per bushel for and freight, and the best price he was offered was $3.00 per bushel. He shipped his peas away and got $4.00 per bushel. - We AV" ~ nnoaa i r\ Omnhfl oniy menuuu tUCOU V CLO^O tV/ V*>* y ' ? size the importance of having some sort of market for the products when they are grown. We notice that in one of the coun ties, or we believe it is in Georgia, that the State is arranging to have canneries established all over the State and can all the perishable stuff that is grown at actual cost. TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF >E>VI*ERRY COl'XTl At a meeting of prominent colorec citizens held in Columbia a few day* I ago at the call of Governor Manning I was selected as chairman for my county to organize and conduct tnt campaign for food production anc | food conservation among the negrc j race.

This war cannot be fought oui [ successfully and quickly without a 1 very great increase in food produc ! tion in the United States.

That would do a gooa inmg aiiu <xl incentive to the farmer to grow more There will he demand for all thai our farmers can grow, but we musi provide some way of marketing foi them and for preserving the perish ables.

PARTY OF BRITISH ARRIVES IV SAFETY Hoadod fo.v Foretell Minister, Cooper atioii Envoys From England Reain lunamed Port?Cordially Received by raited States. With the Balfour Party, April 21.? Great Britain's high commissioners to the international war council to De gin in Washington next week set foot on American soil today and now are on their way to the capital. Arthur Balfour, secretary of state for foreign affairs of the empire, was 1 thp rpntrai fieure of a party that included some of Great Britain's moac prominent men. With a genial smlie playing over his features, he con sented to a brief interview, warmly expressing his appreciation of all tne United States has done as a neutral in charitable and relief work in Belgium and in German prison camps, his gratification thpt England and the I'nited States now were allied for a common purpose, and his conviction.-* that this country in its war efforts would astound the world; particularly f! a r -m a n V The object of the commission, Mr. Balfour said, was "to make coopera tion easy and effective between those who are striving with all their power to bring about a lasting peace by the only means that can secure it, name ly, a successful war. "Your president in a most apt ana vivid phrase,'' Mr. Balfour added, "haa nroclaimed that the world must be ' made safe for democracy, that self governing communities are not to r>? treated as negligible simply because ' they are small; that the ruthless domination of one unscrupulous pow , er imperils the future of civilization, j and the liberties of mankind are ! truths of political ethics which the bitter experience of war is burning j into the souls of all freedom loving neoples." Given Highest Honors. England's leading statesmen having ' safely evaded the German submarines and mines that sent Lord Kitchener to his death, were received with ttte ' highest honors as guests of the Amer ican people when they arrived at ? place in America which can not be . named. i A delegation of state, war and navy 1 'vnlpnmoH thtt department ouui<ti? ! commission in the name of the gov ernment, and set out with them to the capital for what is admittedly the most vital conference in ' American history. | The commission was received with the utmost simplicity and cordiality. It is said that no foreign minister has left England for the length of time that. Mr. Balfour will be away since the congress of Vienna, a century ago. I Tlie formal welcome was c.vicnuciv by Brackinridge Long, third assistant secretary of state, through the pre sentation of Mr. Balfour of a letter or greeting from Secretary Lansing, which the British statesmen acknowl edged with equal simplicity, while British and American ofhcials min gled together. A special train of five cars, whicft had been waiting for five days, at once got under way for the capita? guara i ed as almost no otner tram uas o^i been guarded in this country, r Double protection had been afforded , at all bridges and tunnels and every mile of the track had been gone over | within the previous 24 hours to guard , against a possible fanatic. No details of any sort whatsoever which could betray the place of arrival or route of travel was allowed to escape. Al*CA I TO UUUiiir v?uiow Almost immediately when- the train j started, the large party broke up into ( groups of army, navy and state de j partment officials, to tbegin at once j the informal conversations which are ! expected to sketch out America's pari ' in the world fight against German autocracy. 1, "Mr. Balfour and Secretary Long, ' Lieut.

' On all sides it was reiterated that ? the British had come in a spirit of j service and appreciation and that it i was their hope that the lessons they - i <T, be of I service to this country. Similarly, as one official expressed it the com mission was moved by exactly the same feelings which raised the Starb and Stripes to the flag tower of the parliament building in London, the I first time a foreign flag has ever ( flown there. j Secretary Baffour, a tall, slim, j white haired man of 69 years, who | has held the highest posts in the ! empire since he first entered parlla . meat, 43 years ago, saw today the completion of one of his life hopes, expressed under vastly different cir oTimctanres on January 15, 189t>, ! when he was largely instrumental lr 5 j averting war between England and America over the Venezuelan dia | pute. j Common Duty Now. 11 "It can not but be." he said, "tha?

While unable to grant a regular in terview before presenting himself to i President Wilson. .\lr. balfour will ' inglv consented to say a few wor>^ as to his general hope* for the cou ferences and the fundamental pur roses behind it. A verbatim copy follows: "All will a.uree that my first duty as head of a diplomatic mission is tu pay my respects to the head of the State to which I have been sent; ana no public expression of opinion 0:1 points of policy would. 1 thinw. d? useful cr even tolerable until I have had the honor of conferring witn your president, and learning his views. "f have not come here to make speeches or indulge in interviews but to do what I can to make coopera tion easy and effective between those who arc striving with all their power to bring about a lasting peace by the only means that can secure it. namely, a successful war. "Without, however, violating the t havp inst In id do^ n. there are two tilings which I may permit myselr to say: "One. on my own behalf, the other on behalf of my countrymen in gen eral i "On my own behalf, 'let me express the deep gratification I feel at being ,.Anno/>torl in !inr nn/n?Hfv whatever with events which associate our coun tries in a common effort for a great /ideal.

"On. behalf of my countrymen let me express' our gratitude for all that the citizens of the United States of America have done to mitigate the lot of those who, In the allied countries, have suffered from the cruelties 01 the most 'deliberately cruel' of all wars. "To Dame no omers, me cuuns ui Mr. Gerard to. alleviate the condition of British and other prisoners of war in Germany, and the administrative genius which Mr. Hoover has un grudgingly devoted to the relief of the unhappy Belgians and French in the territories still in enemy occupation will never be forgotten; while an in exhaustible stream of charitable ef forts has supplied medical and nurs ing skill to the service of the wounded and the sick. "The^e/are the memorable doings of a beneficent neutrality. "But the days of neutrality are, 1 rejoice to think, at an end; and tfte first page is being turned in a new chapter in the history of mankind. "Your president, in most apt and vivid phrase, has proclaimed that tne world must be made safe for de mocracy. Democracies whevere they are to be found and not least the de mocracies of the British empire will hail the pronouncement as a happy augury. "That self governing communities are not to be treated as negiiDie sim ply because they are small; that the ruthless domination of one unscrupu i lous power imperils the future of civilization and the liberties of man kind are truths of political ethics which the bitter experience of war is burning into the souls of all freedom loving peoples. "That this great people should have thrown themselves whole heartedly into this mighty struggle, prepared for all the efforts and sacrifices that may rwinired to win success for this most righteous cause, is an event at once so liappy and so momentous tfiat only the historian of the future will be able, as I believe, to measure its truy proportions." i (Signed) "A.

WHmilRE YOUNG MANKIND HEARS CALL TO ARMSCT'^J Kditor The Herald and Xews: - ii la the early part of 1861, when I *A \ was but 9 years old, I remember very j | * distinctly going with my father to 6' 2 Newberry court house. At that, time ' the clouds of the civil war were gath- Jir & ering thick for the on coming storm which lasted four years. I remember going to the outskirts of town to see the first company thai was organized in -Newberry county drill (Capt. 'Walker's company). Memories of events that occurred from that day until April, 1865, will always cluster around my heart. For lour years, with a boyish anguisn, I vnnrif manhood of my community go and come from the battle fields of Virginia. Oh! how sad, some have never returned to j CCt tu^ll l\J ?

A few nights ago quite a number of the citizens of Whitmire, with tne Whitmire Band went to the county seat on a social visit, just an outing. After -he band had made some sweet music I was calied on to make sonm remarks. Among ether things L said, in view oi the approaching war with Germany, whenever tne Ameri can flag waved or floated against a foreign foe, that the young manhood of Whitmire would be there to do their part. To some extent my assertion has been verified. Within tne last 10 days .25 or 30 young men from th? town of Whitmire liave enlisted and have been accepted to defend the American flag. The following young men from the town of Whitmire have enlisted m Capt. Henry C. Tillman's company of coast artillery: Hasaell Miller, Claude Gilliam, Jim Scott, Tom Young, Jake Adams, Tom scott, bur liest Young, Elmore Suber, Guy Shan non, Otis Suber, and Herndon An drews who failed to pass the phy sical-examination on account of soma defect of the teeth. All the others mentioned above passed all righl. Coleman Gary. Pryor Orr and J. Gary have sent in their names and will go to Greenwood to stand the physical examination. I have no doubt but what they will pass an right. All these boys are giving up good jobs to serve their country la time of war. A patriotic spirit seems to perva-de our town and community. The em ployers of these young men have as sured them that their jobs will be open to them when the war is over. Capt. Tillman of Greenwood is ex pecting to master his company Into service soon. The Whitmire bors will hear the call as soon as Joe Qhr?:iiv it from the wire and will respond with alacrity. Jno. W. Scott. WHY \()T START A CORN CLUB IN NEWBERRY Mr. E. H. Aull. Newberry. S. C.. Dear Mr. Aull: As you know that we are in war and our country is going to need all trie neip mat we can give, uuc ? a lot of talk of planting something to eat in which I think is the right idea but why can't every farmer in this county plant one-half acre of corn for every one-horse farm an* give to our government. Now I don't mean to take what land we intend to Dlant, but plant that much extra for that purpose to be worked spare time, that we go to town Saturday * afternoon, stay at home. You know the government will have horses to feed and if every man in this county and others would do that and deliver it this fall at Newberry to be shipped wherever wanted, it would be a big thing. T did not want any war, but we are going to have war anyway and we aH can't go, so I think we ought tn onmpthinar to make it easier for them that have to fight. So I tor one, am willing to do something. Why not start a corn club and see how many are ready to start the ball rolling. Very respectfully, J. G. HAILE, Dr. Harms, while in Columbia last wppk attending the Protestant Refer mation exercises, also spoke at the Civic Preparedness meeting at the Columbia chamber of commprce Fri day morning. In opening his address before the Lutheran assemblage th<? Record quotes him as follows: "A3 representatives of the Lutheran Church of South Carolina, I wish we could send a message to our people in this State appealing ia mem lv see to it quickly and see to it care fully that gardens are raised and that their farms are so conducted that there will be a surplus of food stufts an<5 live stock in South /Carolina dur ing the present year." That's the talk.
