PEACE RESOLUTIONS.
"R-tr vntp nf 214 to 11 tf. with 17 not
^ /
Toting, the German rcichstag yesterday
adopted a resolution again declaring
to the world that Germany is
ready for an honorable peace. The
text of the resolution justifies the aseertion
that Germany will regard as
nn honrable peace a peace made in
accordance with President Wilson's
a/Svina ^ thp Antpntp rulers that the
best interests of the world will be
eerved by the ending of the world war
toy peace without victory. The Ruseian
revolutionists have already re
peatedly expressed their adhearence to
the Wilson formula as tc the kind of
peace that should be made. The German
resolutions do not alter the status
as to the participation of the United
States in the world war. Despite a
ot of beclouding talk this country entered
the war because of the use the
Germans made of their submarines
and for that cause alone. The reichstag
has made it plain that it will not
oppose the continuance of such use
of the submarines so long as England
and JYance will not consent to the
xaaking of peace with Germany. So
far as this country is concerned, the
issue of peace or war is not really in
Sts hands but in the hands of England
and France. We may bring
pressure to bear upon them in beiialf
of peace, but so long as they reaa&in
at war Germany will continue
unrestricted submarine warfare and
eo long as she does-we will remain at
war with her.
Tiie reichstag reiterates the declaration
made 'by the kaiser at the beginning
of the world war that for
Germany it was sjmply a war of defense
and that Germany entered it
iwth no lust for conquest. Some will
believe this declaration, while others
"will not. Proof will be furnished by
the peace terms Germany asks when
jeace negotiations are entered into.
Some of the peace objectives stated
the reichstag's resolutions sh< Id
\ -be peace aims of this country ,also.
iPor. instance, we stand for the freedom
of the seas and, unless we are

freedom from illegal English blockades,
against which we protested, as
*i?ell as freedom from illegal submarine
warfare, against which we
fight.?Greenville Piedmont.
That is just about what we have
wanted to say but as you have said "t
?o well we are going to use it, with
the proper credit of course.
But are you right sure that we entered
the war that we might sail the
ceas where we please?
It seems to us that if Mr. Wilson
wants a peace that is without indemnity
and without annexation and Germany
is willing to that sort of peace
there could be no harm in opening negotiations
and at least find out if
Germany is really in earnest and
means what she says.
Report states that lightning hit an
airplane on the Belgian lines. It
"WO'jld require some speedy lightning
to p!ay such pranks with automobiles
in Columbia. Simply couldn't catch
them.?Columbia Record.
In cur little experience in Columbia
we had concluded that the rules of
the ronil were pretty well observed in
that town. You ought to come over to
Newberry if you want to see som?
cars move about. We do not know
bow they compare with tne ngntning,
. tn;t they have a move on them occasionally.
And then we observe nj
, r?iles of the road. A car may be on
either side of the road and it may pass
you on either side and without warning.
The only thing is to try to keep
out of the way for "I am coming."
The Rev. Dr. W. M. Vines, pastor of
the First Baptist Church of Charlotte
and a minister of wide reputation,
test Sunday preached a stirring sermon
to the coast artillery, of which
he is chaplain. "This is the field of
Armageddon," he said, "In the Teuton4c
offensive we have a Jesse James
gang on a collossal scale. The men
who are so fortunate as to be sent to
France will "be fighting for God Almighty.
Better death than a miserable
coward." Evidently Dr. vines aoesn t
believe in the doctrine that no mention
of war should be made in the pulpit.?Greenville
News.
A man who can talk like that
ehould s-et oS quick to the firing line,
as we have no doubt Dr. Vines will,
m
I
as he is chaplain of il:e Coast artillery.
Our experience is that the (
brave man does not talk so loud about
j
his bravery and "miserable cowards".
and all that sort.

\ Recently we heara a distinguished
| man lecture at a public meeting on,
; the necessity for economizing in the |
use of food and at the picnic dinner,
a few minutes afterward we saw ' ;m
eat three kinds of pie and se\ ^ arieties
of cake.?Greenville News.
And did you notice what he did for
I the fried chicken and the good old
country ham ?
As poor as the editor ig he would
like to join hands wiUi some twenty or
thirty or more persons to put the road
between Newberry and Prosperity in
good condition and keep it that way.
A little work regularly done would do
he job. There used to be a time
the auto dealer was interested in good
roads hut that time is gone. The

travel it two or three times a week
for the next few months and we would
like to see it in better condition so that
III could move along smoothly.
There is a bad clay hill just beyond
the Fair place and just a few
yards beyond is a heavy sand bed
; which if moved to the clay would fix
if 2nd so on all the way. Just a
little of the right kind of work and cooperation.
And we are sure
we could get the cooperation of Super-,
visor Sample. What say you Dr. Hunter
and others at Prosperity?
If the publication of the expense
Account of Christie Benet on trips to
Washington for the governor are
meant.as crit-.Isms we cannot ses
where any blame attaches to Mr. Benet.
Surely no one going even as a private
individual could make the trip for
less than lie did and going as the
representative of tbe state of course
the expense would naturally be a
little more. We do not see the point
in publishing it. We have no doub:
the business or mission upon which
Mr. Benet went was necessary and
we are sure he attended to it as well
as the governor could have done. As
to the governor's trips to New York
if he went on business for the State
why the State should pay for them.
UI course, n costs me goveruur iuuic
to travel than it did Mr. Benet.
As to the expense accounts of the
various laws and order constables we
think it is right for the people to see
how they are spending the law and order
fund, or at least to be given some
idea of the way the money goes. We
do not feel that it was right to spend
money for drinks and piano playing
V !
and all that in the "bawdy houses or to
bribe people to get testimony as ap-|
peared in the reports of expenses pub-l

THE CROPS ARE COMING.
Iphave made several short trips itu
the country in the last few days, and!
the recent rains have been pretty gen-j
eral and the crops ahe growing beautifully.
And there is just lots of cor;i
planted, and it is looking well. . And ;
the cotton is coming right along.
Sunday ai'cernocm i hooked up III
and drove out to spend ^ few minuts3 i
with my friends, Mr. and Mrs. B. B.j
-" I
Leitzey. Bur says that when I come;
I am always in a hurry to come back, I
' i
but that is not correct. .Anyway on,
this occasion I remained long enough j
to get some "powerful" good fried:
chicken, and it was home raised too.'
We drove over for a few minutes to'
I
tne county home, but Mark Smith had(
gone away, but Supervisor Sample
I
drove up and we took a look at thej
corn crop. And Mark has a good
crop and something like 75 or 80 J
acres in com, and a good crop of cot-(
ton, some 25 or 30 acres. In fact,'
Mark seems to be a pretty good farm-!
j
er. And he has some fine watermei-'
ons, and there are some fine peaches j
on the place, and Mr. Sample has set
out a lot more fruit trees. We do not1
see why there should not be almost1
enough grown on the place to furnisn1
iood for the county home and a good
i
part of the chain gang. They raise
something like 30 or 40 horgs each f
year. But then it takes a good bit j
of rations to feed the 20 or 30 inmate.;, !
and the 30 to 40 on the chain gang, j
i
not to speak of the help that Is neces- \
sary to carry on the work. Any way,!
everything looks mighty homelike and
i
clean and neat around the home and;
that is the way it should be kept. I
i
I noticed that in the graveyard.
there was a monument to a cornea-;
f I
erate soldier. I have forgotten for
the moment the name, but he was
something like 80 years old when he
died. There should be some way to
provide for these old vets without
sending them to the county home, but
I have no doubt he was well cared for
f
arViilA thprp fprtainlv h* would b0

I
if he happened to be there now.
And then I have made two or three
trips down to the old home during
the week. There are lotes of peache3
there this year and we are trying to
Dut ud some for winter use. They
are small but fine. I am beginning
to trp to practice what I have been
preaching all these years, to grow on
the farm a sufficient to live on, and
by the way, I sold the hotel a sack of

Irish potatoes the rather day?home raised.
And Henry Jackson has some as
fine corn on those creek bottoms as
you will find in the county, and th??
old hills have some good cotton.
I saw there the other day some garden
fence pickets cut out of poplar
that I was told when a boy that my
grandfather made and put up in his
life time, and he died about 1850, and
they are good^nd sound yet, though
almost worn away by rain or some-;
thing. He built the old home that is
t
there in 1830, and the weatherboar l]
is wearing aVay, through perfectlyi
sound.
Supervisor Sample opened a public'
road through the place out to St.'
Pauls, but 1 was so long getting the.
bridges across the little branches
built, that the road has grown up iii
weeds, but the bridges are now Daiii
and I would be glad to have Mr. Sam- ^
i
pie have the road worked out so that
the people on this side might have a j
nearer read to church. I would likej
to cooperate with him in relocating I
i
this road in a few places so as to take j
off some of the heavy grades. I know j
this does not interest the public, but
sometimes I can't just help vmting
some things that do not interest the
public, and those who are too busy

no harm will be done. This is a delightful
old place and with the hills
and the streams and babbling brooks
and fine old spring where the water
comes from out the everlasting hills,
would make as fine summer resort as
the mountains of western North Caro- j
lina, and if I just had the means to j
fix up a little I would move down!
there at once. Bnt enough.

THE DRAFT LIST.
;We stated in the last issue when
we published the list of the young
men drafted from this county for the

in the names as we noticed that
the numbers in the several daily papers
did not coincide. It was re
markable that the lists were so correctely
printed. We notice from the
