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 |

lie would know no faction. Certainly
this is a time and this is a matter in
wtich he should rise above factional
TK>litics.
Some time ago when he was going j

lour happened to be men who had not
supported him and they were not in
vited to be there. From Newberry
Mr. F. R. Hunter wrote the governor
and told him he would be glad to co
operate in any way he could, but was

a supporter of the governor, was in

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.
.

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-;

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. |

rHE MAN AND THE YENERABLE.
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.

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. I

tigrew president. Meeting was open-j
ed with prayer by Rev. T. C. Croker;
after which object of meeting was
briefly stated by Mr. Pettigrew, who
introduced the speakers. Col. W. H.
Hunt, briefly outlined working of Red
Cross soicety, stating its benefits to
the boys at the front and urging it
as our duty to contribute to their
eomfort and the alleviation of their
suffering through the Red Cross so
ciety, as it is the proper channel I
through which Nsuch aid should go. \
Following Col. 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. Workman 3pose, stress-1

world and urged that each one be not .
content with doing his "Dlt", but do J
his all, making any sacrifice necessary J
to, save us from German imperialism.! ^
He stated that the world wants peace, j
but will not accept peace as offered i "V
by Germany, but such peace as the ^
world needs to assure the nations I
of a permanent peace. He urged that 2
we not only contribute tne amount]
of the fund but exceed the same.
Rev. T. C. Croker predicted tnat the
township would raise the amount of
the allotment, and paid a tribute to
the patriotism of the soldiers.
Mr. J. S. Dominick spoke, represent

for preparedness.
The chairman then, after brief re- 1
marks, asked for gifts of $100.00. Mr.
Jno. B. 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. Cards were then i
i^iaf-rihntokr? anH thov hrnnp'ht irt nhoilt !
$50.00 more, and when all the re- j
turns were /i the result was an-j!
nounced amu? much enthusiasm. 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. ' I
