j||t ||en$ anB Jem! Entered at thr Postoffice at New-1 P *y, S. C., as 2nd class matter. : ?: a AUL.I EDITOR. Tuesday, May 8, 1917. Representative I "" of California' one week led the adn v stration forces in favor of the conscription plan or raising an army and the next week fought the administration censorship bill. That is the kind of man we like to see in congress. These fellows who go up there and let the adminis tration whip them into line had bet ter be left at home. We send men to congress who are presumed to have some mind of their own and wno nave tne mannooa xo suxixa uy for what they may think and feel is right. That is the presumption, but. sometimes it proves to be a very reck less presumption, and we had better have no representatives at all. As we before remarked if we are going to leave all matters to the experts and the administration we had just as well turn the whole thing over fn thpm The nrineinle nnflerlvlnff our form of government is that there shall be three distinct and sep arate departments, the legislative, the administrative and the judicial and that they shall he kept forever sep arate and distinct. ? War commission from England and France is having a good time. They are taking ,pleasure trips over the HUUUkry auu ucmg n iucu auu umvu i just as if there was no war going on. We suppose it is a diversion and it is good for them. The rain on Friday was a great blessing and will do lots of good for the gardens and the fields. There is one thing to the credit ofj the commission. 1^ is said Madame j Joffre is very fond of country ham' and Mrs. 'Woodrow Wilson has sentj over to Virginia and bought an ex-J traordinarily fine country ham and! presented it to Joffre to be taken back ; to France with him. Siie displays i good taste in the matter of something good to eat. There 13 nothing better than good country ham and the South Carolina Newberry variety can not be excelled even by the Virginia ham. In Greenville county on Friday 150 white persons 3tood the examination < for teachers' certificates. In New-1 berry there were 22 and all of them young women except one young man. "OTa nrnatlTTlO UTDP tCAS t"H7P Of the great number who stood the examin ation in Greenville. If it were not. for the young women we do not know | what would become of our schools! in the towns and the country. "The establishment of a coopera-j tive cannery in this city is the first j essential step towards the conserva-' tion of tlie food crops to De raiseo m tie-county this summer." This i?, what the Spartanburg Herald says; and it is true of Spartanburg anri j also equally true of Newberry. It j , is what we have been saying for the past several weeks and especially since this campaign of growing food! stuffs has been on. It is the busi ness man's part of the work to pro Tide the things for the preserving of the crop after it has been grown < and it would -very materially encour- j fho former tn p-rnw more if hf; i knew that he could have it preserved I and that he could find a market for) it after lie grows it. There are several farmers in the1 county who are prepared to do their own canning and who for several years have been doing a Jot of can ning but there are a lot others who! are not prepared to do it and chere are many who could and would grow j nnonflflArr <% T\ A Q QtimlllO if Mlia:ici quoiHinc; auu u uuij^iuu they were assured that they could have the canning done at a reason able cost. It is-, a very important part of the preparedness campaign. We read somewhere that on former; occasions that the people would not buy the home raised vegetables and other canned goods that were put up at home and that some merchant bought a lot and sent them off to Bal timore or some other place and the labels were tuanged and then ship ped back an*', he had no trouble in disposing of them at a higher price. ft all that we are told about the shortage of food stuffs is true or ev en the half there will be no trouble Ball oil it'a Mn crn-a* anH mit HO. We notice in the Spartanburg pa per that Prof. Clinkscales has been appointed registrar for the conscrip tion and that he issues a statement in regard to it. The bill has not yet been signed by the president provid ing for conscription and we should think the professor was just a little; nppmatnro in hi* statement. Of course the bill will be passed but un til it is there is no conscription act under which to enroll.

We would see New-' berry not only a more prosperous' town but a town offering more cui-! tural treats to its inhabitants. We would see Newberry not only a more populous town but a town always striving to raise its moral and so cial plane. Accordingly 100 of as,' feeling that the Redpath Chautauqua offered a means of both cultural ana practical growth, have made arrange-, ments whereby a seven day Chautau-' qua is to be given here, May 8th to 15th. We have done this purely from altruistic motives and will make no money whatsoever by the transaction, a 11 gaiUS WUltU LUitjr icduiu UC1U& turned over to the Calvin Crozier chapter to be used by them in their philanthropies. We chose the Redpath people to give ohautauqua because they are the largest and best in the U. S. We endorse and recommend thorough ly every feature of their program. j We would call the attention of our, fellow townsmen to me iacx umi there is being offered them seven whole days of entertainment, any one day of which would cost them the whole price of a season ticket, should it come to Newberry independ ently. The most prominent singers,' such as Frederick Wheeler, Reed: Miller, Nevada Van Der Veer, Myrtle Thornburg, Ethel Harrington, and others will be here. We shall have music from such prominent organiza tions as the .JBohemnian urcne3tra and Creatore's Band. The lecturers are the best in the country, Harry L. Fogieman being America's master salesman, George L. McNutt being an authority on food conservation ana in demand with such men as George! W. Perkins, head of the New York State Food Commission.

"Wnen I was young," he said, "we: used to flatter ourselves that progress j inevitably meant peace and that: growth of knowledge was always ae-j companied as its natural fruit by the growth of good will. Unhappily we know better now, and we know there is such a thing in the world as a power which can, with unvarying per-; sistence, focus all the resources of; knowledge and of civilization into the moral and material master of the j world. It is against that danger that! we, the free peoples of Western civ*; ilization, have banded ourselves to-! gether." | The British statesman's words, in-: f-prnrpfpd hv manv of his hearers as I a warning against a prematuTe ending! of the great war, were cheered by the, representatives and crowded galler ies. Among the applaudisg spectators was President Wilson, who broke an other presidential precedent by slip , ping unnoticed into a house gallery to hear the address.

There weTe six mules in the stalls of the barn, five belonging to the Johnson-McCrackin company and one to the overseers, John "Waldrop. A natrm nn the nlace succeeded in get-j ting out five mules; but four belong-1 ing to the Johnson-McCrackin com-! I pany, all young and large and wortnj .$260 a piece, were burned, as was one j old mule belonging to Mr. Waldrop. < Another fine mule of the Johnson- J j McCrackin company was so badly burned that it will likely never be f of any further value.
