tram and fatered at the Portoffice at New S.' C., as 2nd class martr**. K. H. AULL. EDITOR Friday, June 1, 1917. SHOULD NOT TAKE OFF TRAIN. ! IW? take the position that the South-' era railway should not take off one of Its trains. As we see it there is no pe&son in the world why this should "be done. Why sliould we go back to the days of the long ago when there were only two trains a day over this road between Greenville and Colum bia? Let us look the proposition ?quarely in the face and stand for the right thing. We are informed that while the Southern is pleading to take off one of its trains on its line pass ing Greenwood it is going to put on an extra train over its line running from Columbia to Spartanburg. Why should we be robbed in order to help gome other place? The business men of Greenwood should lose no time in calling the at tention of the railroad commission to this matter, and do their level best to prevent the discontinuance of this train. We do not wish any piece of train running from Greenwood to Co-' lambda, but the whole thing. There' is no use in using the war cry as a, piea for doing things that should not; be done. Let us get busy and save this train over th.e Southern.?Green-! wood Journal. We have heard for a long time that it was the custom of the Southern to ' take the profits from the Columbia ttad Greenville branch to improve the main line. We do not know that it is true, but we have always under-j stood that this Columbia and Green-! Tille branch was one of the best pay-, ing divisions of the system. The Her ald and News did its bit some years ago to get the Southern to put this train, on, and to add the Pullman, and we would regret to see it shortened, though so far as it goes locally it "would not hurt Newberry to have the train stop at Greenwood. While we are at it we would like to ask The Journal how it would suit to have the midday trains on this sys tem change schedule just a little so that the morning train from Green vil'p mie-ht hp moved nn a little so as to reach Columbia about 11:30 or 12 o'clock, and the afternoon train moved back just a little so as to leave Columbia about 3 or 4 o'clock thus giving people along the line the op portunity to go to Columbia and have a few hours and return the same day instead of having to spend the night. We are inclined to the opinion that it would be a convenience to a great many of the patrons of the road. There is another thing about this proposed change, and that is if the railroad commission should permit this train to make terminals at Green wood the next move would be to stop the 'Pullman at Columbia. The war is a benefit to the railroads because the movement of troops and supplies adds to the revenue of the roads. JSince the above was written we learn that the Southern on Sunday stopped the Pullman at Columbia just as we predicted they would do only it was done a little sooner than we expected it to be. What is the matter with our railroad commission? Once before this Pullman service was dis continued and our friend Shealy got in behind the railroad and it. was re stored. This time/it is taken off be fore any one knows anything about it As we have said we can not under stand why the Southern seems to de sire to treat us on this line so bad. Another train is being put on the Spartanburg end and now it seems that they want to take off what we have. Certainly we should be entitled to have one Pullman car run on this line and it was well patronized. What is the matter, Mr. Shealy and Mr.! Richards? Are you going to let us be| ignored over here altogether? The war' hag not hurt the business of the rail-1 roads but rather has had a tendency, to increase it. It should not be forgotten that nextj Tuesday is the day set apart for the regitsering of every male person be-; tween the ages of 21 and 31 years and j ou must register whether you arej lame or halt or blind and of whatever color or nationality or race, mere are no exemptions and you better at tend to it. We have heard no com plaints or objections to the registra-, tion in this section as prevails in some sections of the country. The banks are going to make a: campaign next Tuesday to sell soma Liberty loan *>oik!s. Newberry's share is about three hundred thousand dol lars. Get busy and buy a bond. Of course we talk shop. In fact wej like to do it. We take pleasure in' .' ^ having occasional heart to heart talks with the members of our big family. We have had several things to worry us apart from the newspaper for the last few weeks, and for that reason have not had any shop talk. And we have let a few names remain who have not renewed, and maybe we failed to notify them of the fact that their time was out. We hate to part with any ; member of the family but in this day | of the high cost of ppper not to speak of the high cost of living every mem ber of the family must do his bit to , ward the support of the family, and ualess every one does we will be . forced to sever diplomatic relations . with those who do not. All whose time , was out prior to May 15 have been 1C il 1 i. I tUU, 11 LUC/ UdLV XZ UUt 1CUCVVCU, , and after this week all whose time ! was out May 15 and June 1 will be taken off, if they do not renew. We I correct our list on the first and the fifteenth of each month. A small fifty cents will pay you to , the first of October from the first of June. Yau can do that much if no more and keep the membership in the family. But if yea desire to remain in good standing you must do at least that small bit. Robertson-Wright. Greenville Piedmont, 29th. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Brissey request the honor of your presence at the mar riage of their niece, Elizabeth Farr Robertson, to Mr. Alvin McLenna Wright, Thursday evening, June 7, 1917, at 8:20 o'clock, 359 Calhoun street, Anderson, S.

Throughout the house there were 1 flni'orp rvf mQnv ahflriPQ anf\ Varieties 1 arranged in baskets and bouquets, , most of them graduation gifts to the ; honcree whose popularity as a mem ber of the high. school class of 1917 ' was further evidenced by a display of ' numerous attractive and valuable gifts comprising all the things dear to a young girl's heart, even a hand some check from her generous uncle, ' Mr. Brlssey, with whom since early ' childhood Miss Robertson has made her home. After inspecting the gifts the guests were enjoying some informal music wnen tne nan uours geuu,y uycueu 1 and into their midst Cupid came danc , ing. He was dressed in flesh colored j gauze, and all the girls were eagerly trying to arrest his attentionfi when he stopped to hand Miss Nelle Bew ley a large pink heart from which she ,'drew a paper and read the following I lines: I "To some of vou it will be no surprise But the rest of you must now be ^ut wise, This great secret that I'm going no relate Is about a young girl who has found her mate, Miss Elizabeth Robertson, a damsel bright, Has chosen for her hubbie, Mr. A.

Cupid was none other than win some little Martha Fant, and though not yet two years oia, sne was as gracious and easy in her part as one ! of wiser years might have been. ; After every one present had wisli ' ed the hride-elect every possible wish ' for happiness, a salad course with , sandwiches and iced tea was served . in tlie dining room.

Numbers of other entertainments are being planned for Miss Robertson by relatives and friends. tfiss ttawl*s Piano KecitaL The piano recital to be given by pupils of Miss Rawl's school at the opera house on Friday evening will begin promptly at 7 o'clock.

It's close to the parlor scale. One of these days, if tin keeps getting uppish in price, fair ladies will be wearing tin as jewelry. No, this isn't a joke. j Tin is selling now at 66 cents a j pound. Any man who has a tin mine j has a treasury house. It would not hp Q?rr?ri?sin? should the v.-nr last a year or so longer, if tin went to $1 , a pound or higher. i Tin is a rare metal, comparatively. The two great sources of supply in , the world are in the ^traits Settle , ments and Bolivia. Owing to the I shortage of ships and the u-boat trou bles in the Mciitehhanean the supply from the Straits has been independ able. % Generally speaking, the Straits sup ' ply 100,000,000 pounds of tin and Bolivia 50.000,000. Of late, the East Indian produceion has been falling and the Bolivian increasing. This Bolivian development may be ascribed largely to the activity of I Simon Patino who used to be a store keeper in the Andes and who, about the time "Mr. Bryan contracted the habit of running for the presidency, ! was threatened with financial disas ter. The decline in the price of sil ver had forced the mines in the dis trict Mr. Patino served to close. There seemed to be no prospect of silver coming into power or, rather, into high value again in the years, in which event Mr. Patino would be left about 12,000 feet above sea level without customers. He had an idea that there was money in tin if not in silver and he told the senora about it. All the money Senor Patino had saved in the grocery business had gone to buy jewels for Senor Patino. The lady agreed with Simon and the grocer ?' f the Andes sold some of his wifp wels and bought a tin mine. tin t time tin mines, all kinds f " s except those of gold were a ->n the Bolivian market. Senor r< ~no got tin ore out of the backbone of the Andes and shipped it over the long-trail to Antarogasto Tt'bpro it waa nnt nn cliin tn tn shelter at Antwerp or Liege. Senor Patino kept that up until suddenly some one in Bolivia discovered that the grocer of the Andes had bought all the really, good tin properties oi that district and was the Tin King oi America.

"Is it the duplicate of this floor? asked the senor. "It is," was the reply. "Bueno," said the Bolivian. "I'll take i.he two floors." And he did. That afternoon the Patinos moved in. There were in the party Simon Patino and the senora and a whole lot of " Patino children. Then were the sisters and the cousins and the aunts of Simon. Also the sisters and the cousins and the aunts of the se nora. Also maids for most of the la dies. Also valets for some of the ! gentlemen. i iWlien the Patinos went shopping! Mr. Regan had to call the taxis in I the Times quare section. 'When the Patinos swooped into Altman's ori Wanamaker's or Lord & Taylor's or Tiffany's, the traffic stopped in the neighborhood and the people asked what all the excitement was about. All hands went together to theatre or department store or to see the sights. Simon missed nothing. Nei ther did the babies. Usually Simon carried one of the babies. He's a family man for fair. Four or five days after arriving at the hotel there was great excitement. Senor Patino had received a message making it necessary for him to go to Mexico on important business. The Knuiijc nas uesuiiiieu. il wouiu HOI accompany Simon. The ex-store keep ! er of the Andes wanted to go to Mex-. ' ico as fast as possible and get back ' to New York pronto so he ordered a | .special train. Just before he was toj say goodbye to the senora a telegram arrived that made it appear that his : trip could be put off for a day or so. He was only too happy to remain over. The family was delirious with joy. The next <iay there was another de . lay without departing. ; For 30 days things went that way. Then Senor Patino who had kept the ; special train ready the whole month : ! with steam up ready to start any hour night or day he desired, paid the bill, thanked the officials for their courtesy and tipped the engineers and others. And he's heavy handed when it comes to tips. New York has never been the same since Simon Patino and the Patino family left town. How much of the tin of Bolivia c?enor cratino controls is not estab lished but according to the best re ports he stands in relation to tin there about as Rockefeller does to oil in the United States.
