It takes more than one to have a difficulty, but the trouble is obliged to be brought on by one not allowing another the same privilege of express ing his sentiments freely in a free country. j The next big attraction, being the event of events here, will be the New berry college commencement. The popular president of the college, after' preaching several baccalaureate ser-', mons? and delivering addresses at va-' rious college commencements, has re-, turned to Newberry ready for his own' commencement. The pupils of Miss Margaret Burton takings part in the excellent recital at the high school last Friday evening were the following well trained girls and boys: Kate Bullock. Nannie Laurie Boozer. Olive Burns. .Tuanita BoUnd, Azile Wliitaker. Sarah Mae Pitts,' Luther Cousins. Herndon Sample. Ed ward Kinard, Hilda Sample, Margaret ; Kinard, Marguerite Burns. Julia Adams. Margaret Farrow. Mary Klet-; tner, Nancy Fox. Maude Gruber. This evening. Friday, beginning at 7 o'clock, at the opera house, the piano recital of Miss Sarah Rawl's music school will be given. A full' house is looked for. as the pudiic is cordially invited and the recital takes place "between the picture shows for the matinee and night. Bear in mind Miss Rawl's polite request for abso-; lute quiet during the seven minutes of each recital through the one hour and a half. It is worthy of note that the onlyj woman appointed on the State council of defense is from Newberry?Miss E. | E. MoClintock, former president of the College for Women in -Columbia. Tt is a high privilege to be a member of this important board, whose pur pose is to cooperate with the national organization 'in all matters pertaining fo tl~e mobilisation of the State's re sources for service in the war." As stated in last issue Mr. 0. Klettner is a memoer. Singing will be conducted by Mr. M. C. Hallman at Cannon s Creek church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr. Hallman, who runs a barber shop over the store of J. M. -Counts, de votes much of his spare time to the inspiWrg n rt of singing. Those of ouf citizens who enjoy mu sic in the quiet country would have a delightful time by attending the exer cises Sunday afternoon. We know the people of that community will wel come their city cousins. If a man within the prescribed age limit shows an eagerness to be regis ters! hv iroin? nromDtlv for enroll ment Tuesday it will be like volun teering. or the very next thing to it. After Tuesday he will have no op portunity to show the volunteer spirit, and it is glorious to be a volunteer. The reunited United States govern ment wants and needs men now and will need men hereafter. Let New berry begin right and keep right. "Yours not to reason why, yours but to do?and die " Newberry's new county superintend ent of education, Mr. Clemson M. Wil son, didn't lose any time since com ing from his Jonesville school to be-, gin preparation for his larger and higher duties. As the first step to ward future success he went to Be thune Thursday.

Watch the papers for the result of Superintendent 'Wilson's trip to Bethune. The name of the bride elect is Miss Addie Mae Kelly. DeWitt C. Johnson, one of the steadiest of the colored citizens of Newberry, returned 3n Monday from Dallas, Texas, where he had Deen at tending the sessions of the 129th an nual convention of the general assem bly of the Presbyterian churches in the United States of America. He went as a delegate from the McClellan presbytery of South Carolina. Dallas treated the large number of delegates in royal style. Each delegate was| given a miniature cotton bale and other emblem? of industry as souve-; nirs of the meetin?. It was a hiehlvi representative gathering of the color-; ed citizens of the union, and they had the welfare of the nation at heart. j "When there's help she canv ren der she's Nellie on the spot." Thus; speaketh the Greenville News regard-j ing the telephone girl. The same paper wisely and well says that tele-1 phone operators are among the most; intelligent and neiprui-puonc servants we "have. "They have to stand a good deal of thoughtless and discourteous language from wooden-headed women; and bone-head men. although we fan-j cy that the former give them morej trouble than anybody else when they spend the morning on the wire re-j tailing scandal and exchanging silly i chatter." Doubtless the News is j right about the "wooden-headed wo-j men" and the "bone-headed men." Wej may have some bone-(dry)-headed J men in Newberry but there are no wooden-headed women in this place, although what the News so truly says! r\f V? /-> talan^nriQ cirlc will" cfril?P I Ui 111U 511 Ik) ft AAA popular chord. 3reeting of Rnral Carriers.

We believe it is a little bet-i ter than either the sample from Mr.i Aull's field or that from the field of Mr. J. A.
