THE $300,000 MARK
Newberry has done well in the mat
ter of the sale of the Liberty Bonds.
Her citizens got busy witnin the last
few days and went out and explained
the' bonds to the people and they re
sponded nobly and patriotically to the
call. Two meetings were held in the
court house during the week, one on
Tuesday afternoon and another on
Wednesday afternoon at which sev
eral patriotic speeches were made and
the necessity of the people buying the
bonds explained to the people and
they responded to the call. ,
i Committees went out to the peoole
and told them about the bonds and;
tlie people bought. One party drove
out and waked the people up at night
and sold' bonds to them, the commit
tee getting back is the city about two
a,. m. .
The total amount sold was $188,
950.00. and apart from about $100,
WOO.OO ta&en Dy me conon uims auu

6mall denominations to the people,
just what this issue was intended for.
The total assessment for Newberry
county or the amount apportioned to

SOME BIO COTTON SALES

We noted in Tuesday's paper how
the price of cotton had been soaring.

the biggest price in a good many years

higher. {
During the week Col. C. J. Purcell

around $75,000.00. Col. Purcell soldi
a lot a short time ago-for a little less j
than this price, but it netted him
around $50,000.00. He says that it Is

be intrusted the duty of responding
to the extraordinary demands which
the present war will make upon the
services of the Red Cross. notli in the
field and in civilian relief. The best
way in which to impart the greatest
efficiency and energy to the relief
work which this war will entail will
be to concentrate it in the hands of
a single experienced organization
which has been recognized by law
and by international convention as the
public instrumentality for s h pur

"Indeed, such a ccf^centration of ad

seems to me absolutely necessary, and
I hereby call upon all those who can
contribute either great sums or small
to the alleviation of the suffering and
distress which must inevitably arise
out of this fight for humanity and de

and most necessary tasks or the new

great sums of money for tne support

THE SEWBERRY ELKS WILL
OBSERVE FLAG DAY
The Newberry lodge of Elks will ob
serve Flag Day with appropriate ser
vices in accordance with the ritual of
the order. It so happens that this
year Flag Day and the regular meet
ins night of the Newberry lodge are
lone and the same day. This (Thurs
day) evening is the regular meeting
night for the Newberry lodge and
i the 14th of June is Flag Day.
As announced in the last issue of
the county papers an appropriate pro
gram will be carried out. The lodge
has just moved into its new quar

| Newberry hotel and the rooms have
I been put in such order as it has been
i possible in the short time in order
J to hold the exercises th'ere. |
! The lodge is small in number, but
it is the desire of the exalted ruler,
j E. H. Aull, with the cooperation of
j the membership to rehabilitate the
i lodge and to have nice quarters with
i a reading room for the members and
i to that end the two rooms on the
i front of the second floor of the Fra
f ternity hall building have been leased
j and the furniture of the lodge moved
j in. It is hoped to have many new
members in the order now very soon.
A nice program for the Flag Day
exercises has been arranged and the
public is invited to join with the Elk3

I at this time in our nation's history
: that proper tribute should be paid the
i flag and that its history should be
known. Tne lodge will carry out tne
ritual laid down by the order for the
observance of this day as well as it
can and invites the friends in the
city to join in this celebration and to
enjoy the exercises.
The exercises will begin promptly
at 8:30 o'clock, and as that hour is
named it means just what it says.
There will be ail address by Dr. Jas.

We have acted on all bills handed

We are making earnest effort to
have the books of all the county of-;

1 to get in shape for a report, but prom- J
I i3e to have this ready for the next j

We have inspected the Jail and |

feel that it is not necessary to do so;
again at this term.
We have some complaints as tO:

To Mark Opening of Big Drive

There were signs that the "big squeeze'
is about to set in.
It had been planned at the Rome
conference following the German
peace offer. The aftermath of the
Russian revolution postponed it. Tiie
allies have since revised their route
so they may reach their goal with
out Russia?with the United States.
If Russia rallies in the eleventh
hour success will be the more com
plete. The Petrograd weat'nervane
pointed that way today.
First on the program or the great
concerted drive is the crusnlng of the
German right flank in the West. This
flank is sDread across the rich mines
and fertile fields of northern France
and Belgium and reaches out toward
England, lurking unseen, Dut seeing
all, from beneath the surface of the
Dover straits and the channel.
Hit U-Boats
To insure success for the "big
squeeze" the U-boat menace is to be
struck at its nearest roots; the bases
in Belgium. To that end it seemed
tonight the British heavy artillery
and British raiding forces started
nranopotinni! fn 7* a Hrivfl
t/'dl Ly L WLLCL V piC[/aiutivuo ..v i v? u**? v
along the coast. To keep Teuton.re
enforcements from the west, Italy,
now the western powers' most effi
cient ally, pitched in again, this time
on the Trentino front. At the same
time General Sarrail got ready for
a new drive in Macedonia. ."Hurri
cane fire" was reported by the Sofia
war office. Even tiie reorganized
romndnta nf tho Russian armv did
its share, starting a bombardment
of Mackensen's lines near the Black
sea littoral.
From Petrograd came reassuring
dispatches of loyalty manifestations
by the Cossacks and peasants,
though these were offset somewhat
by news of intensified peace agita
tion on the part of the council of
workmen's and soldiers' delegates.
Belo-w Belt
Overshadowing ail else in interest
and importance is the now apparent
PriHch n1ar? tn st.fl.TTm Out the U-boat
"pest" where it is most oppressive,
most obstinate and pernicious. From
the little Belgian port of Zeebrugge
tlie sub-sea^raiders sneak out hourly
to snatch away England's food and
supplies at the very gates of Eng
land's eastern seaports. Innumerable
"mos<HLito'' craft on the surface and
Zeppelins and airplanes overheaa
escort them on the first lap of their
ir?M rnov A few milftS OUt fTOm IM>rt
these U-boats can turn to the right
into the North sea or to .the left
through the Dover straits into the
channel as they please. They form
the first of the German right arm in
the west, a fist that hits below the
belt, answering surface blockade with
sub-sea blockade.
Zeebrugge and Ostend taken, the
German U-boat campaign would be
confined, in the important matter of
exits, to the Heligoland bight and the
Skagerback. The menace would be
removed from "right under England's
nose," as one naval expert put it tne
other day. With the help of the
American squadron, the allies hope to;
take care of what then remains ofj
the menace.
Progress
So all along the 70 miles between
Ypres and Eph$y, the British big:
guns tuned up at dawn for an earth- j
shaking overture. Reconnoitenng col
umns darted forward in every vital i
sector. The spies of the air were1
equally busy. Ypres is the pivot of
the British front and around it either
to the south or north? most likely
to the south against Lille? the Brit
ish are expected to try to make the
breach. Meanwhile slight progress
was made by General Plumer's forces
to the south of Messines, where they
took the big ridge last week.
The Berlin war office, ever elert to
prevent the public from being taken by
surprise, announced heavy gun firing
east of Ypres and?which the British
statement failed to report?in the sec
tor of the dunes near Nieuport on the
sea.. Meupon 13 vt?ry cruoc tu TTutio
the British and Teuton lines face c -?ch
other on the coast. Twenty miles to
the northeast lies Zeebrugge,
On the Somme
The Germans kept up their heavy
drum fire against the French lines
on the Aisne and in the Champagne.
The French artillery answered gun
for gun. A development that bears
watching, military critics point out, !s
the revival of artillery fire north of
the Somme. All the way between

roaring. This is the sector in whicn
Hindenburg made his now-famous re
tirement.
Italy's new blow was a surprise;
first, because the Austrian "come
backs" with tehir big captures nad
caused pessimism here; second, be
cause it came not on the Julian, but
on the Trentino front. Cadorna's
troops took 512 prisoners up to early
this evening. They were still pro
gressing after capturing Monte Or
tWara and Aneelo Pass. Both posi
tions lie to the southeast of Trent,
Italy's main goal in the Trentino.
