The Spartanburg Herald thinks it surprising that "despite all that n:is been written and spoken * * * there are many who have confused ideas as to the issues for which this country is fighting." The confusion is explained by the mutiplicity of explanation. We are at war with Germany because congress, at the request of the president, said Germany was at war with us and the submarine activity was accepted as evidence of tnai fact. Xo other explanation explains because no oilier explanation has official^ standing. Many other erplana ions" have been offered, )?ut . j are ^individual conceptions and have na value, even though it be the individual conception of the president himself, since under our constitution congress is the supreme and sole authority oni the question of war. To now say wej are at war Decause 01 tne invasion of Belgium is not only contrary to the facts, but accuses us of cowardly procrastination since our declaration of existence of a state of war was not made until two and a half years after that invasion. And similar objection could be made to other attempted explanations. No harm can be cone hy accuracy. Any cause that is worta 3 v Ai r?uf is ucsi scrYtni uy me truiu. There can be no confusion as to the issues that have involved us in the European war if we stick to the record as made by congress when it declared that a state of war existed between Germany as the aggressor, and this country.?Greenville Piefl ? XftO&t. You are correct. Accuracy a$d the truth and publicity are the best and the right things to do in a democracy. We have heard a number of orators in the last few days or weeks undertake to explain' the cause of the state of war andJ -a lot of hot air about making the world free for democracy and that sort of stuff, but the submarine: activity is whafc the president j- * V said was the cause ;arid was accepted '{* . . s.8 evidence-that a i^ate of war die exist -with Germany, . _ ... , Any cause that cau not be served fey tjie trutiK&ad best be laft alone. But as a matter of fset none of these things that we hear so much about ! i jTX is the real good old friend Shuman said in an ? t- . ' . ; j article in th^ Careen vile! News som* time ago the real cau&e leading up 'o *thi3 ^war wsfc&iihe pcw?Y behind throne. Bifc as we have frequently remark*-*; ed there can be no good done by talk-! ing about the causes that put us in i the war, the thing for every one to j do is to get busy apd do his^part roj bring the terrible slaughter to a speedy conclusion. The quicker that I is done th<? sooner tfill the awful slaughter of human lives cease. TRIP TO GREEXWOOB From my youth up I have beer. i something of a home loving boy and kave rarely if ever missed an apporttrnity to go home, if it -was for omy a brief visit. So -when Mr. Sam Johnsod, that great transfer man of New- j berry, told me he was going to a jfirive to Pegram and had only one i' / ?. . j .passenger and that he would mase the detour for me to stop at home f ... ' j and call back for me on the return; trip, I at once struck a bargain win him. The trip was Saturday afternoon. The one passenger was Mr Harry H. Blease who was going over; to make a speech to the Red Men and j wanted to return to Newberry that night. Ifl \ We left Newberry at ten minutes to j 5 o'clock and drove up at home 2f miles distant at 20 minutes after 6. j Wa went the road via Zion Baptist church and by Chappells crossing tn? river at the railroad bridge. The road is fairly good except very narrow and full of holes at places, but I be-i lieve that it is about as good a$ * have ever seen it. And after you cross the river the ?road has been N changed to the left and the steep rocks of which I have written before are avoided. I have no doubt the Greenwood authorities saw my objec-j tioos to these steep rocks an<2 cbaas-j ?3 tiSfe ISefclion Jfejf ro&cl % newj f*.? road is most too stoop a graue, aut! it io so much better than the old j ioad that it is thankfullv received j I There should be a good road from J Newberry via Chappells to Greenwood, j And Greenwood countv is making a I I ! fine road from the rivsr to Greenwood; i i And the people are wise, because' i there is a good deal of very fin trade' i around about Chappells, and in this; i day of auto cars the people will ?o where the roads are best. The dis - , tance from 'Chappells to either Green- ( ' wood or .\ewDerry is aooui mu s<tuir.. J jiWie should have the inducement for! the Newberry people to come to Newi | berry, and VJie hest inducemnt now, ? even not excusing better prices, :s a; ; good road. Our people should be' l aroused to their own interest i ? I was glad I made the trip. I founii the father and mother well and hap- j py, and also Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Ha-Jj just come in and Bachman and his] wife came down, and that made all of [ the children present except W. B. Aul! ; and X. E. Aull. And then Prof. Edj Werts of Memphis had come in uur-. I - - ? ' * \ '.V ' ing the day with his bride. I didn't | know that he was married, but I was informed that the marriage tooS place about three weeks ago and that he and his wife have been tenting at .his place near Old Town and had just j An >Cki4un/To v lio.* ! ui. vauiy uii 4jAw.iucvjr aruu uou i gone over to spend a day with his < uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. ?. j Aull. Mr. Jesses Matthews of Moiitville was als? there. My brother-in- , law, Mr. A. D. Tinimerman who lives with the old folk, and his wife were i there of course. (He has just returned' from Colleton county and has tae! fever strong to more down there. He ! - r . * I pays the crops are fine and the coun- i ( try is healthy and the possibilities oij the country are great. He says that I the roads are fine also and that the and he is thinking about is right oa the river which, is salt water and il. 1 AM fio^i mai lie uumu w?c vn uon aim r bles: Well, that is a fin'e "section for ? the trucking business, and the country ^ just now in its infancy ip develqpi. jf :* . t v T Tnent.

It was first 30 and then 30 twice and then 10 per cent. The order published in the papers on Sunday calls for only 5 per cent anjj it is suggested that the local beard! take all white men in this first per- j . centage and that it take also meni who have had some military exper-i ience if there be any guch. That', m-ian? that only eleven men will go j I from Newberry on the fifth of Sep-j | tember, but the next call for 40 per; i cent will be on the 19th. . ?? I For the benefit of the York Newsj j I desire to say that I do not think; j that it can find anything, line or sen-; i I tence, in my report of, or rather oD- j i ! serrations on, the Pomaria ana j ! Prosneritv meetings. that in the | slightest manner questioned the cha-! j racter, the patriotism, the earnestness,: i the loyalty, or the intellectuality of; I ! any of the speakers. I did say that I; I "l : ' i did not think what they said did any j good in the matter of getting our! i people together, and if they were sent | in the county to create a war senti-: I ment they had failed, or words to | that effect. And that in my opinion no good could come at this time in making speeches justifying the Unit-! i ed States in entering the war, or In . % j j giving the causes that led up to a j declaration of war, and that if the1 / i , State council of defense had nothing el?e to do and no ottber work ia view it had better resigD and go home; ? I and not spend tre money in such work. I said that and I see no cause r resort to chansre that opinion. Any war in which yo have to conscript to get your army and in which from SO to 90 per cent of tho.^e drawn are asking exemption is not a popular war, but our people are going ahead and are doing their duty ans do not need any education in the causes of the war, and speeches justifying the war at this time can do no good, and that is what I tri<?d to say. I tried to say also that if we ico'iAfi anv campaign at all it s'iou'd be in an effort to get our people together. E. H. A. Mr. W. E. Wallace says he is going to drag the roa-d from the city iroits to the Boyd crossing after each rain. The road has recently been worked If Mr. Wallace does that, and *e believ*? lie will, thjs will be a good roar* all the year round. ^ FEKSONAL MENTION I ? Air. Jno. C.
