I Ijk ||eralS} and ||tBs. Watered at the Pcwroffice at Newfern?, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, July 13, 1917. We feel sure that it is thoughtlessness, tout nevertheless, it is a great jauisance to meet the bright lights on the approaching automobile at night The light is simply blinding and there should be some protection to the man "who has no such light, yet must needs use the highway. In most States ajid -/~>n antnmohilfis must; V i D UV/ii AlftliVO "V/** MM vw be used with dimmers, when one is approaching. This is a good law, and should be universal. Thoughtless people and vicious people cannot he taught the spirit ol kindness^- The only way to control them is by a law that will make them do the decent thing.?'Union Times. ' CAmotimoc wp are not so sure that h lkA/iUVv*mvw ?. ? t it is thoughtlessness that makes thes?" i toig headlight cars run with the glare in your face. In fact, we have never j been able to see the wisdom or tho: j use or the sense in these 'big head-! lights which glare into the heavens,! anyway. It seems to us that whatthsj driver needs is the light on the road i and not up in the skies. At any rate, j it is just as the Times says, they areJ a nuisance and should be dealt with as j i such if the owners of the cars have j not enough consideration to dim them: when they are meeting other cars in! ~ ' wnnrtpr urs there are; *>WJ IXAXVt. i la** ? i aot more collisions. We always do just as the Times says, stop until the fellow with the big light goes by, if j we happen to be driving at night,! wMch we seldom do. It seems to us that some one would J s patent a device to throw the light ! 4own on the road instead 01 up mw, the heavens and then it would not b-3 ?o bad. With the number of cars now trav-j v. -eling the roads there should be soma, more strict observance of the rules] <rf the road, if there are any rules, and if there are none there should be come. For instance, if a ear wishes to pass another car our understand-j ing is that the front car should drive, to the right and the rear car come on j on the left of the front car. Some- j times we have had them to rush by U3 1 i_V ? xm the right without warning ami, come very near running into us. And; then the man in the rear car who; wants to get by should sound a signal to warn the front car that he de-j ' sires to pass. Just a little thought- ; fulness and the recognition of th? j rights of the other fellow and a lit- J tie consideration of him would solvt; i --J. K?laa ! -the whole problem witnoui * u.v,, or laws, but there are so many peopl? i who have no Tegard for the other fel-! low that it seems necessary to havc j Jaws and regulations to govern and; ) then it takes an army of officers to! enforce them. It is unfortunate that! it is true. ? Vmv AVI? VPU' J ADDED SJSVJCian-vjii .uu.. I . We fully endorse the following tak- j en from The Herajd and News on the; fiction of che State Board. Now is) | the time to conserve, not waste mon-j ey. We need a new State Board, onaj that will study the interests of the parents of the State and not the interests of booksellers: / "The way in which the State board of education made changes in tha adoption of text books for the common schools and added new books it would seem that they did not know that the war is on. They displaced 29 old books, adopted 23 ne.v ones to n Hicnlar.ed and take tne piace ui CUUJV U?wr.*. then added 71 new books to the list to meet the requirements of the course of study. They had better change seme of the requirements of the course of study."?A. R. Presbyterian". One of the members of the board has said to us that this was not a just criticism, that the new books were w \ necessary to meet the requirements of the new course of study. Then it ,1Q new course of tv wo etudy might be modified. The purpose of the legislature in passing a law that not more than fifty per cent of the books could be changed was to save the parents in the purchase of books. To change 29 old books and put in 23 | *ie* ones in their place and then aud 71 besides seems to us to be a pretty j I good shake up in the matter of books, ! as the parents will find when thev ! come !o buy new books at the opening oi' the schools. The fact, is there is more in the i teacher than in the text book an) j way. And really th> re is not so mate* j rial a difference in the merit of th< ! standard books. We have no doubt th< i ; board did what it thought was -besi ' * ? +-Vi mnfirOD A' : ana no out; qutsuvucu inc iiivn ?v i the board. Sometimes when we se: i some of the children going to schoo j with a whole load of books we are re | minded of what we heard an educato! J say on one occasion that they wer j being taught by averdupois, or some; thing like that. I | We have not seen the new history j of South Carolina by Simms which I has been adopted, bat there was cerI tainlv need of a South Carolina hisI i tory of the schools, but there was i none. At the last adoption Chapman's [was left off and a book adopted that ' was no history at all. It did have ! some good biographies of South Carolina men in it, but did not purport to be a history of the State. From a statement which we print today at the request of an army fecruitins: officer it seems that the re gulars are given much more consideration and much better treatment than is given the volunteer army or those in the National Guard or those who are to be drafted. We do not understand why this should be so but we reckon he knows what he is talk ing about. Anyhow ne says get :n now and you will get the best food and the best care and if you don't believe him you will know it later. The national editorial association has passed some resolutions asking congress to give the federal commission power to do something with the paper trust and as a war measure to ntroi* tho nanpr mills. Wonder lO/VC W WUV WA -- - _ what has become of the res^ution adopted by the South Carolina Press association. * It did not go as far a3 this one but wanted something done to give the commission power to control and regulate the trust The resolution was never published in the accounts of the meeting of the asso r ciation but we presume the secretary has sent a' copy to the members ot congress from this state as provided in the resolution. If the high price of | paper is simply the result of a trust then there should be some way to stop it. If ihtre isn't then we should know it. Of course we print th6 letter af "Veteran" -"n reply to an editorial ifirom the Orangeburg Times and Democrat in regard to the resolution proposed at the Press Association and upon which we made comment. We confess that we are a little confused v.s to what took pla<;e, since receiving this letter, because we had in mind that the wrfcer was not the *- - Tf'Q A r* At memoer 111 que&uuu, auu uv recall that there was a member of the associatiOL present who is a Confederate veteran. M any rate, in what we had to say there was nothing personal mentioned and certainly nothing personal, or at least offensively | personal, intended. <We do not ques | tion, and never did, the patriotism oi | "Veteran" or any member of his fam| ily. So far as we are concerned w? ! have three boys, two of whom aiv I within the age, one has been in th< | first regiment since July, 1916, whei j the call came for troops for the bor der, and is now in the service, an( the other is registered. If the gov | ernment would have us we wouk i ' | gladly take the place of either on< | or both if they would permit it. | We do not recall who introduced th< resolution, but we remember that i was suggested that a certain membej prepare and forward the resolutior and he remarked tbat some one wh< was ''going as far as you like" witl: the president better send it. That is the point we desired to make, not sc many resolutions but some going And some doing. Fighting resolutions and fighting editorials don't bring down any Germans or taKe an>' part of the Hindenberg line. We had been under the impression that the war was going to be fought i ^ / -v y . ( '.and won on the water or in the air. i i hut if the twenty airships thiit sailed _over London last Saturday and dropj ped thousands of bombs and shells '! can't do any more damage than is re| ' j ported was done by these twenty w? j do not see much need of spendin ; an;; ' 1 amrtunt nf monev in the buildins J 0. ~ of them. Except it be for taking view; and locating the enemy. f! J -j le seems from what the daily paper; . : '; are saying that Mr. Creel, the news *j censor appoisted by the president, is giving out the news that is not news and fixing it so that it will arouse the patriotic spirit. That the atack of the i ; U-boats on the transports with troops was not really made and that no fight l:at all was had and that no U-boats i 'i were sunk. Better give the people the i news as it is. Of course there are ; some things for the good of the army , that should not be given but if there are engagements better let the peopie know about it and give the facts as they are. j It will b possible for us to send j cards t >sf whose time /expired on July .

"too ! but that point is immaterial) begs ! space for a few observations. As your editorial states, there were j two principals to this proposition 10 inform President Wilson that the editors of South Carolina endorse his course in the conduct of the war. The iriginators of the suggestion, "too I young and bashful," to use his ownj words, to make public utterance of his! patriotic sentiments, is a venerable! Confederate Veteran, whose sincerity! and bravery are beyond question, andj the one who was requested to propose! j f ' the resolution is a "veteran" of the; Spanish-American war, who volun-{ teered from his nat;v. city, Orange j burg, at the first call of President; McKinley for troops, May 5, 1898. (Re-1 j member that date, Messrs. Editors?) | j At that time no thought was given bj j those who volunteered to tne degree; of danger that would be confronted ;j it had not yet been discovered that i . Spain was not a formidable foe (and, I it makes one shudder even now to; | think what probably would have hap-j J pened had this country been ud1 ] against a first-class power); so those' who offered their services, and their; lives, if need be, are no doubt, de-j .senyn'g of at least slight credit. Anyway, the writer did get as far as Cuba,| and although it was too lata to face bullets, that greater enemy of the; soldier, disease, was abroad, making service even in an army ol! occupation is a very hazardous business.] | Your correspondent, who served; j entirely as an enlisted man,j ; holds a discharge from the regular, army.

In conclusion: There are five brothers of us. One is now in the regular army of the United States, stationed in the Phillipines but no doubt soon to be in France;'another is in the Second South Carolina Reg-^ 1 ilment, having seen service on the bocder recently and who, also, is practically certain to be sent to Europe; 1 the third is registered and ready to serve if drafted, although married, the, same as one of you, Messrs.
