If fee Stroll} ana jtm. totcrcd at the Postoffice at New Hug, S. C., as 2nd class mattcr. 8. H. AULL. EDITOR. Friday, August 31, 1917. We notice in the papers that over in Kershaw county some fellow driving a Reo overtook a man with several ladies in a Ford. He undertook to pass and ran into the Ford ancf threw it in a ditch and injured the ladies, but fortunately nothing worse than a few fractures of the shoulCers of some of the ladies is reported. The Reo driver did not even stop to see. the extent of the damage he had done. Of course, the Ford man should have gotten out of the road. As -a master of fact what he should have had Is ? Tnooroi7iriQ o-nn anil omntl'o/1 it JnfO % ? lUt^UU UUU *W ***vv the Reo and the driver. And that is going to be what is done if some or . ^ the drivers do not have more respect for the rights of the cither fellow in driving the roads, or if there is not some way to have those rights respected 'by the officers of the law. Among those who read ou-r confiden-! \ ti&l talk to our subscribers and who } _ j came w. wica ms aouar x* uur vih irremi J. J. Crooks of the Pomarra ? ? > i ectioa, and his subscription is not yet oitf by a year or more, but he ?aid he wanted the old Herald and News to fcav-e what it wanted and he wanted it to remain a member of hts family as long as he lived and tnen some. Well, we appreciate that and we are glad that he appreciates Trie Herald and Neira . . And this reminds us of an "editorial in*a recent issue of the Greenwood Journal which we presume refers to cwr confidential talk with our subscribers a few issues back. The Jonr1 VoyJ nn tmoinftee rpfldill? t.hat Vl<Vi UCVU UV * w*??? o ?editorial. It wa3 headed confidential and it was distinctly stated that it was for our subscribers only. But that doesn't matter. The point of the ^tory is that the Jjpuraal entirely misunderstood what we tried to say, have- no deli#<juent list. We . have a vfe*e who have been kept on for a ] tew issues because we just had been so torn up t&pt -we- could not -correct s * ' *. oar mailing list. We carried a delin.iZr_?^ - ? _?uent for many years and to tbz taae e/ something J ike tea thousand ^1 ^Hars. but never again wHT be pa-1 triot and you may take it from us. We * ?nly asked if some of those who were now taking the paper would not come Along in a bunch and pay one dollar on account and that by doing so it "would give ns some money with which to meet (pressing needs. Some Hare done so but there has been no rush. Theer is room for more. c The Journal says our story is ideally pathetic. Well, that is a very fcigfc compliment. That is what we . intended it to be. That fs a good - * - * ? " ' * * OW WUTU, "AUOCliUg VU Ulr muvrvivrxio, more of it. W$b8t&r says- pathetic means, "Affection to the emotions: morons; stirring; moving the tender emotions." Pity all of us could not " do more of that sort of thing. But hfrF fair we succeeded we are not j aware. Hope you are right and that ire succeeded. And we take this opportunity to say j that we wiH correct our list on Sat-! urdap of this week and all who are not paid beyond the first or septam.-; ber will receive no more papers. W* J are going to sand you a card today, i ! Joe Sparks in the Augusta Chroni-j , J le in a political article on the sif.-j nation in South Carolina says that It" is probable that Gov. Blease will t)? a candidate for congress from Mr. Lever's district. That is a new one. 1 We have reason to believe that Mr. iHease does not care to go to congress. He could have gone from this district some years ago, was the opinion! of a good many, but he always said | at that time that h'e did not want to j go to congress. Now that he has served as governor he would -probably have less desire to go to congress, but the senate is a tempting plum to reach for after leaving the governor's -office. And for the last forty years Carolina has had a member of m fSf&rf&'r'g ofce [ except for one term. And no other ] senator during all that time has never ! filled the ofFuce of governor, ana tn.; ! governor-senators have succeeded I tlinmco'voo We notice that the opportunity wiii now be given the enlisted men to tjceome officers. That is men in the rational guard and the regular armj j will be given the opportunity to fit : themselves for officers. Hereafter, ii | is stated that the fixed policy will I be to take more of the officers from | the enlisted men and not from tram, ing camps. It seems to us that this ' should have been the policy all tn<; i while. If there are competent me* I i among the enlisted men it seems to i | he the right thing to give to them the ! encouragement of promotion. Other! wise all that a young man may hope : for when ho enters the service Is to . remain a private to the end, or at be^t i secure a non-commisioned office. rrv nV. 11) K/> in/liinamant Ti rj All t j x11 ci <3 311UU1U lrc iuuuvmuvuv uv<? vww in this branch of the service for recognition of merit.

The literal meaning of camouflage, a French music hall term, n "flaking." We gather this in the late news from Washington. The Herald and News was the first paper in South Carolina and perhaps several otTier States to use the word camouflage and Mr. S. C. Merchant put the reporter on to it. Nobody around here knew what it was. Mrs. J. D. Nance calls our atten; tion to the fact that the name of W. | D. Nance appeared in tbe list of those who did not answer the call j when the first 428 wiere called under the draft, and states that he is h-er ! son and that he had already enlisted ! in the navy aiid is now in the service. ! We stated at the time that the list was printed, when we mentioned some who had enlisted, that probacy there were others that we did not mention, and we take pleasure again im stating that fact, and m saying tfeat yowag Mr. William DrayfcomNanre, ) has already enlisted.
