fettered at the Postoffice at New &Hcrjr, S. C, as 2nd ua^s mactrr. L H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, April 24. 1917. The Herald and News has no quar rel with Mr. John Wicker, and foi that matter, with no one else. Then is too much to do now for us to b< fault and miai-pline* amoni ourselves. We desire, however, to say that s< far as the parade that was pulled of in Newberry is concerned we nav< heard nothing but the highest com mendation, not only for the showin: njade but for the good order whici prevailed. As to Wicker's criticism of Thi Herald and News, all we have to saj is, that we are sorry if there ar those who do not like what we sa: and we are also sorry if it is hurt ing the paper, but we cannot heij it. We try to De pome uuu cvualc ?us to every one, and to say what w< have to say out in the open withou the use of disrespectful epithets o: ugly words. If it does not pleasi and there are those who do not lik< it all they have to do is to skip i over or not take the paper. Then is no compulsion one nay or the oth , r. As to performing our duty, all w< have to say is, that so far as th< family of The Herald and News u . concerned the only member we hav< who is liable to service has alread: enlisted and is now in camp. An( he did not wait for conscription. Wf . hated to see him go but we ar< nf him and his old "Dad" ii ready when the call reaches has class We have no fear that he will fail t( respond to any call to duty, becaus* he would unworthy the mother wh< bore him if he did. He made ni parade about it and did not abus( any one who did not enlist, and neith er did we. All we ask is for thos< people, who do not like it becaus< we are not a hurraher, to do is to gt and do likewise. If they can't mayb( they can send some of their own in stead of talking about it all the time Mr. Wicker says, "When our country calls," and so on. If the country is not now calling for men our hearing is very defective. If the call that is now being sent forth can't be hearc we are afraid that it will taKe con scription to get the answer. Abuse of the kaiser and of our owi . people, whether they be hyphens oj what not, and the display of flags anc placards never won a victory and never will. It is. men that the call is sent out for. The guarantors of the Chautauqua are called to meet in the court houst Tuesday afternoon at 6 "o'clock. Ev *v>anr?hoi. ic ovnppfpri to be there Ci J lii^iUUW AW W ~ _ at this time as this possibly will be the last meeting until after the Chau tauqua and this is the time to maf out the work so that there will be do loss to be met at the final meet ing after the show. At 5:30 o'clock is-the call for the citizens to meet to revive or to or ganize a chamber of commerce or gome sort of business organization This is a meeting whfch every patrl otic citizen oi me iown suuuxu Ac tend. The guarantors are requested to come in time for this meeting. The York News in an editorial or "South Carolina Congressmen" ha: the following to say in addition to t whole lot of other things: "While the pacifists and mollycod flies are writing congressmen an< senators, those who are behind Pre3i dent Wilson ought to do some writ ing and make it plain that this Stati lioo mnrp pnnfiripnr-e in thi uao mv* v wv ??? ability and patriotism of 'Woodrov Wilson than it has in the capacit; and patriotism .of the Hon. Fred Dom inick." We do not know who the editor o the York .News is, but we imagin* that in this crisis President Wilsoi would prefer to have volunteers ii the army and navy rather than lei ters of confidence in his patriotisn and ability, and the editor mignt vol unteer, 11 ne nas not. aireauy uune sc and thus exhibit his patriotism in ; substantial, way and one that woul< count. Or may be he is in accord with Col Willian Banks that it is impossibl< for the newspaper men to shoulde] arms. We do not agree with Mr. Domin ick in his opposition to the plan o: Tresident Wilson for selective con scriptive draft, because we want tc see some of these fellows who have been abusing other people about 1101 volunteering, or being opopsed tc war. brought into the service, am about the only way they will come ir is by conscription. If they shoulc happen 10 be too old to do active ser vice on the battlefield they could b*. j.ut in the cornfield and made to us* the hoe and the plow. It is not letters that Mr. Wilson ? ? " ? ~ ^v./-, a o vno; WdillS, V> C JUH3C .iiUlU liit/ UUUI-VJ. he made to bis countrymen, but it is service. It is just a little bit strange that with all the clamoring for war tliat we were told was being made jy the people of South Carolina that there should be so few volunteers, They were clamoring possibly for the other fellow to volunteer. And yet South Carolina is away up in the list of States in the number who have volunteered. The "note'' writing epoch in the history of our country has passed and we are now in a siaie ui \><u <tmi the country needs men for the army, i'or the navy and for the field armed with a plow and a hoe and if it Is impossible for any to shoulder a mus ket why there is the hoe. Th^ call is still sounding for volunteers. We de?ire especially that the busi ness men and bankers shall read the address or letter of Bradford Knapp which we print in the paper this is VvV i-riflt .iii liix- iii> J sue. And read particularly that par**-' I graph which he addresses to "Busi i ness Men," and then read all of it. ', > Of course, you are not going to fur , nish the *,eed at cost and you are not j going to look out for them, but you' i want the farmer to do his part ana | raise enough to feed the world whetn-j ! er it is profitable for him to do so ! or not. We would not be surprised ! if there are not farmers in this very : I county "who have sold cowpeas ai from $1.50 to $2.25 a bushel evea r who will pay for the same 6eed $3.DO a' per bushel when it comes to the time 2 for them to have seed to plant. "We * mention this simply to try to empha-J size the importance of the moat j hearty cooperation in this food cam t paign on the part of all of our peo- j a pie and all of our business interest; - and to say also that the burden is j i not entirely or wholly on the farmer. He needs the help and the coopera- j * tion of the merchant and the banker.: e At this time and in this crisis it is' f the duty of every true patriot to do; a his part in the matter of helping the I y government. It depends first upon j -i the man who tills the soil to plant; j and grow the food necessary for the j - support of the "people and the beasts 3 of burden and then it is the duty j t| of those who do not plant to help the r j man who does by cooperating with: e1 him. i j The Herald and News did not "be lieve that story about submarines be 'I ing heard ard seen off our coast along about Boston and we did not s nrint the storv about it. Now the re s port come that there was nothing * to it and . it there is no German j *, submarine cn this side the Atlantic.! f'i If a press censorship will give us the; l.true news and not so much sensa-: ' i. tional stuff and give us all the news j *; we shall be glad to have the censor-, ', ship. i] i i We would like to ask seriously, if j >', it is not improper so to do, what has' ). become of that committee appointed j J' at that general welfare meeting we i held in the court house several weeks! i'ago to discuss the question of mar-} kets for the farmers. That is really! > the important question now. It is j i. not enough to say that there is a j shortage of food stuffs. Some way j should be provided for the proper j f handling and marketing and conserv- j * ing" the food after it is grown. That; 5. Dart of it should be the nortion of i 3 the business man. To know that; L; such a system would be provided j would be a great stimulus to the; ,! farmer to grow more of food stuff3.

WK'KER HETl'HNS THVMiS AND THEN CRITICIZES >lr. Editor: I have waited a week for seme one that could write, would thank rhnsf who took oart in Our pa rade last Tuesday. None having done so. I wish to think, first the Whitmire Band, and the Whitmire people, who did so much to help the parade, l. am proud of the Newberry Band, and Newberry mill people, of the Mollo hon Mill who did more than any ot the mills as to number, of the Oak"-' land mill, for their attendance. I am; proud of Newberry college four cot-, lege); their demonstration was as! fine as could be; the schools, what' a sight, teachers, professors, child-1 ren. cadets, fine. fine, and the clti- i zens who took part, this was the' finest patriotic demonstration that was ever in -Newberry, i am proua; of Newberry. And now, Mr. Editor, I am going to criticise some remarks I hear j going the rounds, made by one. * ? ? + V*/\ Aiitrlnf A1 <> j 01 OUT p^SlUI'3, Luai lie niuugut, v/u? i demonstration was a very tame af^! fair, that there were very little j whooping and hollering. Mr. Editor, we would not want this kind of a demonstration, this is no; time for whooping and hollering, but a time of sadness, sober thought, showing that we realize, what we are; going into, showing we are not a set of ruffians; whooping to go to war,' but that we are going into this war! v?onorV?tfnl aad Whn in the n\J 1 , wv.?. ? v great crowd, that heard Mr. Klett-j ner's speech, whose heart did not' bleed for him and his people who live1 in Germany. I say to you that the American peo ple are not fighting the German peo ple, but fighting the Kaiser, who has insulted the American people again; and again. You may say that I do: not love my brother, but if my brotft-1 er spits in'my face he will have to! fight. C^n America do other than] Go/hio what uvnilri von have Ameri-?' ca to do? Loyalty (True to one's country), can one be true to his country ana make slightingly remarks of his gov ernment or his country? I say not. One of our county papers Is con tinuously knocking the State govern ment; this is tiresome to me; what good does it do this paper? I am sure it does not hurt Gov. Manning, hut does hurt this paper. Hyphen. (One that lives in a coun try and his sympathies with anotn er country). Don't he a hyphen, a knocker. In one of the parades was this placard, "Pull for America or pull out.'' This is my sentiments. Another remark. This is a rich man's war and a poor man's fighi. AUUUier I'tJLIlili K. X licit uiu men aic -whooping up the war, knowing tliey j will not have to fight.
