Why the railroads should be pestered
just now about patting in cinder
screens for passengers, we do not
know. It looks as if the railroads had
their hands Tall eno'j<$n and the passengers
might stand th-? cuiders a
Jittle while longer.?Florence Times.
We suppose- some member of the
railroad commission got a cinder in
his eye. That is the history of the
passage of the law requiring the
railroads to put up those spark arresters.
A member of the legislature
was returning to Columbia while the
legislature was in> session and got a
-cinder in his eye and the next day he I
introduced the bill for the cinder ar- I
resters and it wass passed.
Another new ruling:* is to make all
jtetssengers enter and depart from the coach
at the same end while the door
at the other is lockd. It takes twice
' as lond to load and unload. If the
rale had required all passengers
hoarding a train to enter at one door
and those departing from the train
to go. out at the other there would
fcarYe been some sense in the regu*a;
tkm.
The railroads are reaping a good
fcarrest just now.

One of the most pathetic little fea- i

You are right, it is pathetic. That
is the right word. To us it is als'i
just a little amusing, but then we are j
glad 11 ne can gei any gooa oui -h
such a proceedure for himself and if
he can he should have that pleasure,
because he certainly does not injure
the one whom he imagines he is
spiting. But you are right, it
f
certainly pathetic, and such small
souls have our sincere sympathy. Be|
cause they evidently possess a- very

Greenwood Index be kind enough to

MOVING CAREFULLY
We notice that in a great many or
the counties the exemption boards
have furnished a list of the ones who
have been excused from the service
and the grounds on which the exemption
was made. Our board is moving
carefully
and following the law I
strictly. Very few claims for exemption
have been passed on in this
county as yet. The ones who have
been called and drafted have some,!
ten days from the date of the examination
in which to file claims for exemption.
The Herald and News will be glad
to publish the names of those who
have filed claims for exemption an1
thp rpasnns on which th#> rlsims are
based, but we can not print it unless
the board will let us. .
An official bulletin from Washington
signed Crowder, says, among
ether things:
"Local boards should therefore be
instructed ' immediately to maka
avaiifcale to the press from day to day;
the, names of persons claiming exemption
of discharges, the grounds.-on
v. Inch siic-h claims are based, and. In
general, the number of cases that are
being -disposed of by the boards froni
day to day. This instruction does ribt
ap^ly, of -course, to discharges on the
ground of physical disqualification^.'.';

Mr. John W. Scott complains that

we would not intentionally do any'
of the young men any injustice, arid
we are glad that he called oar attention
to the fact that his son, whose,
name appeared in the list of those not
answering the call, was already in the
service. Mr. Robert Guy Boozer's
name also appears there and "he has
enlisted in a Columbia company.
There may be others. If so we will bo
be pleased so to state. The Herald
and News has a >ery high regard for
the young men who heard the call of
their country and who answered it.
We regret that the call was made, or
had to be made, and we would have
kept this country out of war if we
could, but now ttoat sne is in lei us tju
to it and be done with it as soon as
possible. It is going to cost us de^r
in the resources of the country, but
more dearly in the young manhood of
our nation. And those who remain
at home will feel the pinch before
many moons. We should be brought
closer by this crisis through which we
are passing and cooperate ajwt forbear
until the horrible thing is over.

j One of the most delightful country \

beautiful shadv lawn, and then there1
i
are the broad acres surrounding the ^
home with fine crops of corn and cot-:

We <lo not know of a more ideal j
place for a country residence than j
this place. It is on the public road j
and on the railroad and only seven i
miles from Newberry and is served.
now by a daily mail rrom Newberry i
land the road is fine. It is the ideal;
place for a country home.
