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

! or not. We would not be surprised

size the importance of the moat

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

t| of those who do not plant to help the

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

3 the business man. To know that;
L; such a system would be provided j
would be a great stimulus to the;

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.

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!

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-?'

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.
