l|k jerofii qbH jps. | Eatered at the Postoffice at New- i ' wrj, S. C., as 2nd class matter, j C. H. AULL. EDITOR. i | Friday, June 22, 1917. We were forced to leave out a good: "bit of local matter from the last is-! cue because of the large amount we; printed about the Red Cross work.; We felt that accounts of weddings and some other things would be just; as good for this issue and the Red Cross matter would not keep, that is the part that referred to the cam jMiign which has been on this week. We simply make this statement dy way of explanation of the absense of some matter that we print today that should have appeared on Tues day. Mr. Hoover says that the high price of food stuffs is due largely to spec ?lation. The Herald and News said J, that some two or three months ago. j The thing is to go to work and stop! peculation. The Herald and News j also said at the time that about the \ < time the farmer?the producer?got1 the crop Teady to market the govern-; ] ment would be then getting ready to. do something and the price would , , come down. Mr. Hoover is quoted! j as saying that the price of flour now!' hp ahrvut $9.00 the barrel,! whereas it is around $16 the barrel, j but when i.b* new crop comes into; market the price will come down. The request of the reformers in J South Carolina for representation on! the exemption, boards is not unusual! or peculiar to South Carolina. We have it on good authority as coming from Gen. Crowder, the Provost Mar-1 shal General, that there is objection; to the personnel of the boards in 29; other States. So Gov, Manning may;: not feel so bad about his recommend- ! ations.' I. In a matter of this kind it does1 seem, however, that Gpv. Manning j ( might be able to find among the 70,-j OiO voters in South Carolina < who did not vote for him a few men, who in his opinion even might be fit; i men for some of the places he is fill-; < ing, not that there is any profit in it,! i 'but it would at least have the appear-1 ] ance of fairness on the part of the: ( appointing power. j < We guess there will be no discrim-> * ination when it comes to filling up * the ranks with the boys who have to' J go on the firing lines. The governor; l will not confine his selections then! 2 to the ranks of his supporters. Know-! c lug that, is one reason way muse y who did not support him feel that, ] they should have some representa tien on the exemption boards. These' ' are the men who are to make the! i < selections for the firing line and fori ' the ranks. j ; The governor proclaimed on the. stump tJiat he was going to be the j | * nil +Vi A T\aAnl^> on/1 tVl a Y ! gwtmur Ul AU LUC UA??. lie would know no faction. Certainly this is a time and this is a matter in wtich he should rise above factional TK>litics.

Another Newberry citizen, a supporter of the governor, was in vited. 1 * * We mention these things te' show xnax me paru-sansuip xs uui mi . one side. We do not approve of such partisanship in any one. And at j this time there should be cooperation and a pulling together of all men and i factions, but?well, you know what j we mean. Mr. Watson of the Greenwood Index I says that Mr. Dominick appears a, pigmy by the side of Olln Sawyer.! Well, what do you think of your gov-; ernor? What does he appear like to j you? If he is not using the smallest! of small politics then we may be a! pigmy in your sight also. We are I not expecting anything at the hands j of the governor, we have not asked j anything from him and do not expect' to ask anything, but what is fair andj right and just. His appointments in this county are satisfactory to us. The two men that he appointed chair men of the two boards in this county were already members of State boards by his appointment. They are good and capable men and we have no kick coming against them. But there are some men in this county who did s?ot vote for Gov. Manning who are just as good &ad as loyal. . f We find that there are about 12."; subscribers whose time was out eith-j er May 1. May 15, June 1 or June 15, and as we did not get opportunity to notify them until Wednesday of this week we have decided noi to take them off until Saturday, ?nus giving them all this week to renfein with us and to arrange to continue to re main. But all whose time is out ana who do not make the proper arrange ment to remain will be dropped from the roll on Saturday. This Is final J We are going to try very hard to keep our lists up to date, nut we al-1 uavc uto to o'ivp all the subscribers the opportunity to arrange to re-! main, or to let us know if we have; made an error, beca-use we Go hate! to take off a name when it should I remain, and we -do make mistakes } If there is error ami you snow it I 1 _ it. A ?? wnea you receive iue ?uu we uujjcj you will notify the office so that the] error may be corrected. If it does! not suit you to pay a year, fifty cents! from June 15 will carry you to Octo-; Kq?. i o n r? tlinco whnnfl time' dates from May 1 may remain to j November 1 by sending 75 cents. Claude Ross gave us a shirt the other day. Evidently he is a mindf reader a~d knew we could not attend ! the presls meeting at Beaufort unless we were supplied. We are afraid to j wear it. however, beoause wnen that '; gang sees that piece or raiment tneyiij swear we belong to the Rockefeller-! Morgan syndicate.?Gaffney Ledger. I It seems to us, Ed, if you are going j to remain as many as two days thatj one shirt would scarcely be suffi cient, even 1f it was or the Rocke- j feller type, and you are Just back from a bath at Hot Springs. Better get your friend Claude to send around another, and then gently whisper in his ears that you have a friend over, here in Newberry who would like to go to the press association also, and that 'S will take about the same num ber of that garment to' Tast him for two days, and he does not mind being; placed in the Rockefeller tpye and that the Claude Ross type is rather: rare over here. And we are very anx-' ious to attend this meeting of the as-' sociation. | ? Deatk of Mrs. Harney.

San Francisco Call. The man who was having a little NTew Year celebration of his own,; which promised to be a fairly red one,: chanced to meet a venerable person who carried a scythe upon his 5UUU1UC1. "Ah, there, Keuben!" tire man re marked, 'How is the alfalfa?" But before the venerable man had time to answer a funeral cortege pass-1 ed down the street. "Who is the party in the rest-wag on?" the man inquired. "That is the body of the Old Year,"! the venerable person replied. "It is being borne to?what -are you doing?" i For the venerable person had no-; tirced that the man was acting in aj peculiar manner. ^'Picking up a stone/' "For what?" "To shy at the wagon. I want, to show what I think of the Old Yea-.' "Did it treat you badly?" "Badly; I should say it did?never! kept its word once." "Did you help it to do so?" "Well, I?I?that is?I attended to business ? farily well ? and ? say, what festal procession is that be hind the other?" "That *s the procession of the New! Year." " 'Tis, hey! .Ray! Ray fo rthe New; Year! Whoop 'er up. He's a peach! { xvaj ; "Why do you think so much of the N'ew Year?" "Why, he has promised me all sorts of good things." "Say," the venerable person with the scythe remarked, "I will tell you one thing right now: He will keep! none of his promises so long as you? you?that is?attend to business? fairly well?and"? "V.Tio in thunder are you?" the, man interposed. 'I am generally known as Old; Father Time." The man listened in wonder and; amaze. Then he shook his head and; said: ] 'I suppose, then, it must be one of j your children I am out after." 'What do you mean ?" "Why, I am out after a little Time/'j So Old Father Time passed on. for| what is the use of giving counsel to a fellow of that kincl? Pearls cast before swine are wasted?unless some other fellow picks them up. Sparring for Time "Say. you! I advertised for a strong! boy." "Well, ain't I a strong boy?" "You doa't show it.

NEWBERRY PEOPLE RESPONDING' NOBLY TO HEI) CROSS APPEAL i i The campaign of the Red Cross 1 which was begun last Sunday is meet- 3 ing with success in this county and; the apportionment for Newberry will 1 be raised before the week is out. ] Several meeting have been held in the county durisg the week and speech es were made in the interest of the movement and the people showed an earnest and determined interest. The committee reported to U3 on Thursday that $3,837.00 had been sub scribed. Dr. Cromer told us on Wed nesday that something over S4.400.00 had been subscribed. Dr. Cromer is chairman of the Red Cross fo this county and was absei* yesterday in Columbia. There is no doubt that be fore the week is out the total ap portioned to this county, $7,000, will hare "been subscribed. Several more meetings are to be held at the churches on Sunday. This is a work which shoud appeal to all the people and every one should/ es teem it a privilege to give something, even if it be samll. I i We had the pleasure of attending a; meeting at Jolly Street on Wednesday i evening in company with Z. F. Wright,! and Geo. B. Cromer. We had a fine meeting well attended and the peo- j pie gave good attention to the speech- J es and we are sure that No. 10 will! bring up more than the amount ap portioned. The work has been divid ed up and a canvas will be made of the township giving every one an op portunity to contribute to this work.

Hunt, Mr. J. B. Hun-1 ter spoke, stressing the duty of each one, whether at home or in'the bat-] tlefield, to measure -up to the stand ard of a soldier in the cause for, Humanity and liberty. Every man. j l women and child at home shoud be! ^ willing and ready to sacrifice every-j thing to secure a victorious termina-,2 tion to the war. ilr| X. W.

He urged that 2 we not only contribute tne amount] of the fund but exceed the same. Rev. T. C.

Scurry promptly subscribed that amount, and aroused a real en thusiasm. Subscriptions of $25.00, when called for, were made by quite a number. ! Mr. J. J. Murran, secretary, was kept busy noting down contributions , of $10.00 and smaller amounts; both1 men and women responded nobly ac^! cording to means.

The: allotment had been exceeded by over; $200.00, more than $650.00 having been subscribed, and the committee feels sure the grand total will reach not less than $800.00 by Monday night next.
