erolB asi) mm. Watered att the Postoffice at New far j, S. C., as 2nd class matter. SC. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, June 29th, 1917 Like the Anderson Mail we sympa thize with the exemption board. Theirs ij not going to be an easy task and neither will their bed be a bed or loses. About fifty per cent of those who registered have already claimed an exemption and -it is to be up to the board to say who is to be exempted. The board should be big enough to use its authority wisely and well. Ex ^Tr?r*f?r?nc! nnt hp granted for personal reasons but on account of the service the party asking exemption may be able to render. There are those who have dependents upon \ j ti?.em and who can at the same time take care of these and render a ser-j vice to the country better by being! 1 lert at home than by going into the' I firing line. The service at home is no less im-j poriant than the service at the front.! in + ~ V>o fa/] ond ! lilt Will nave IU L/C cm A i v clothed and some one will have to ! be left here to supply these. On the theory that the Devil must be fought with fire we are going to f i Lave something very close to abso lutism in this country in order to de stroy. absolutism in ijermany ? ami the danger is that ours may remain in some shape or other after Germany's is destroyed.?Greenville Piedmont. That is true but in the matter of giving liberty and freedom and de mocracy to the world, it may be like some other things the more you give the mor? vou have. The president has appointed the list of names furnished him by the gov ernor as the members of the exemp tion boards of this State. That list was published in The Herald and vr^TTTo loot "EViHav Thp memoers of the board for Newberry are S. J. Der rick, John C. Goggans, J. M. Kibler. yThe way in wii;~ the State board of education made changes in the adoption of text books for the com mon schools and added new books it would seem tliat they did not know that the war is on. They displaced 29 old books, adopted 23 new ones to take the place of those displaced and then Jdded 71 new books to the list - to meet the requirements of tlie course of study. They had better changed some of the requirements of the course of study. Newberry and tne State and the country did ,well in the campaign for the money fo rthe Red Cross work. The one hundred million was more than raised. In Newberry county the apportionment was $7,000, hut as in dicated in The Herald and News the amount has reached more than $10, 000- It was a cause that appealed to our people and well it might. Our prayer is that our boys w:'l not be sent across the seas until we get something there with vhich to feed ? ^ fhom smH some one there to look after the wounded ana suff ering. It would be cruel to do other wise. It really looks sometimes that this is to be a war of starving and which of the great contending forces can manage to hold out the longest with t i sufficient food will win the war. It is stated from Washington trSat congress will probably adjourn aoont tie first of August. The thing for us to do is to con serve all the food stuffs that we can and save the perishable vegetables by canning. There is a fine prospect-for a fine corn crop in this county tn:s year. A little rain would help in some sec tions. Talking about the location of the new jail it seems to_us that the pres ent site is about the best place to put the building. The county already owns two or three acres there ana it 4b close in and at the same time Is not too public. Then the jailer has the advantage of a good garden and the difference in the cost of a new site is quite an item. Better build at the present lot. OLI) TOW> LETTER. Uid J own.
