WHY CONFUSION.
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

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 !

war department the call for the first;
- 1
installment from the first draft is for;
only 5 per cent. 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

i cent will be on the 19th. .

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.
