Tuesday, November, 6 1917 - *' ? r n n TA 1 Pnl ?TOI. ana airs. a, ureuer ui iwiumbia and Mrs. Emaline Dreher wife of Dr. Julius Dreher consul at Colon, Panama, are spending the week-end i vith Dr. and Mr?. O. B. Mayer. That car load of milk cows that J. Luther Cxner has advertised for a sale at Lathan's stables on Satuday has arrived and you ma see them at the stables. A successful and intelligent farmer, j one who lives at home and at the! same time grows considerable cot-!; ton, remarked the other day that he found that a bushel of cotton seed would go as far in the fattening of a hog as would a bushel of corn. That he had tried cotton seed as hog feed and that it worked well in his case, and he always grow a number <' of hogs. We had heard in the years : when the only us* to which cot- ;1 ton seed was put was to use as a! fcr+iziler for .viicr., that it wo.i\i kill ; hogs if they were permitted to eat ' the seed. In those days tney would i feed a little handful of seed mixed! ' with wheat bran to the milk cows. ] But since then cotton seed has de9 veloped into a wonderful, food product for man an3 beast. But if a bushel of cotton seed is worth as 1 much in the fattening of hogs as a l1 bushel of con h cotkl bi ho'icr to ! v>e it for ay? fed than to s?l! ro 3 J ] the oil mills ov-iu at tlie pro.st.nt liiph 1 prices. Food Administrator Hoover has re_ 1 quested The Enquirer to help promote ] a keep-a-pig movement. "'Such a movement," he writes, "would neces-j1 sarily require some charges in village j 1 hi.Koti orHinannos- hnt. the 118.- | CC'JUCU Ui W tional welfare.would be. warrant am-! pie for such course otf action. Gerj' many," says Mr. Hoover, "is raising!! 4,000,000 pigs from her garbage re- jj fuse." * We copied the above from the i Yorkville Enquirer. There are many p-aces in Newberry where a pig could "be kept without detriment to health. We had something to do with driving pig pens out of town, but in thesej meatless days we would not object to I p1' A seeing the ordinance modified so that those who really have large lots might keep a pig if &iey so desdred. And there is enough waste in every, family to {feed a pig and that would mean a whole lot of meat. We are not attaching blame anywhere, because we do not know the praticulars, but the fact is another little child had a narrow escape from a horrible fleath under the wheels of pn automobile. There should be a strict enforcement of the laws and rules regulating the driving of cars. There is no doubt in the mind of anywill think that all of the drivers are too reckless in the handling and driving cars in the city, and not only in the city but on >the public highways.; About the only way to regulate it and j make it the least bit safe to travel; the roads is to license all drivers and! make the penalty for -violation of the! traffic rules a revocation of the li-l cense. It is really dangerous for aj child to be on the streets ,and for j older people as well, the way some, of the corners of the narrow streets -are crossed and turned. And the same is true of the public highway the way some of the cars ae driven. It is a pity of tre cars are driven. It is a pity that it is necessary to have to regulate by law what should appeal to the good common sense and sound judgment of every citizen. But it seems necessary and if so should be done. - . I V ? A ! LET THE IHJiS HSVn I We have an impression that ve saw j a statement from the war department ' to the effect that all thas "who were within the draft age would be calledfor examination, and those who failed to pass from any cause, or who*would be exempt under the. la$y would be so notified. That is a proper and sensible position to take. There is no good judgement in keepthose within the draft age in suspense. If they are not entitled to exemption under the law and not physically unfit they should know it so thrit they might know how to regulate their private affairs. Jn?t. the othf-r dav a voung farmer asked us if we knew whether or not ^11 within the draft call were to be examined now or not. That he would like to know whether or not the government was going to accept him, If he was liable to be called he wanted to sell his mules and make some arrangements about his land. If,J ' tie *ere not going to be accepted lie , wanted to begin his farming operaLions for another year. It is now time \ to plant wheat and otherwise make arrangements for the next I crop. He did not want to begin if! he was liable to be called before the crap could be made. As we have said we saw in the r papers some time ago that the government intended to examine all of j those who had been dafted and let j them know just what this young far- J per was asking to know. We do j not know when the examinations will be held. SEWBEERY BID WELL In the matter of the Liberty Bond \ sale Newberry did her part well. If you will lock at the amount of bonds taken by the various counties yoa +V10+ VAwi'iorfv oian/lc flhrtnt .9 4 TY XXX OX7U uaai %whrww?v V* j Greenville and Spartanbug and Rich- 1 land took credit for the amount of ( bonds bought by the soldiers in the j camps at these places, and then they j have a number of cotton mills in i all of the counties. And besides | Newberry is one of the small counties { of the State. Then we did not make j any big blow about it, but went to \ work and sold the bonds. The only mistake was that Sabbath campaign and it did not help the cause any. * V? ^ *\AAW1 +Vi?* mnoftinp*o OVUU LKJi UiC CUV/ j were poorly attended and some of the appointments did not hold any meeting. A great may farmers invested in bonds, and they did> well to do so. Fhere is no better investment. We wondered why t^e people who had money in the sa.ings departments of :he banks did not put it in bonds instead of in the bank, and possibly some of them did. Any how we went i j beyond our quota all right. When the war tax gets on good and j proper we will all then begin to real- j ize that we are in war.
