To be indifferent to this great movement is in effect to 1><? indifferent to rhe murder of women, children and other civilians: indifferent to the ap, peal of outraged humanity. ! To belitttle the War Savings move ment is to belittle the heroic sacrifices of countless dead and wounded soldiers who fought for your protection. >. Failure to hark the government in the W.

( : I Along with other newspapers Tha Herald and Xews carried the story of a number of citizens making Mr. Forrest Butler kiss the flag and pledge loyalty to the country, the in: cident growing out of alleged disloy-: . al language. It is always fair to give ! thp other side a hoarinc. and to thr>t end we reproduce the following from 1 j The State, under date of Newberry, : j April 9: j1 | "Forrest Butler, who was reported ; in The State of Sunday as havin? j l>f>en required by a party of 21 men 1 of West End. Newberry, to kiss the < na<r, wants to say to tne puuiic mat ; the charge that he had shown any 1 . lack of loyalty to the government, i or had been knocking it or the president. is false, and the hostility of the party had its foundation in some other 1 ; cause: that lie had no objection to i kissing the flag of his country, for 1 he loves that flag and is a loyal Amcr- 1 ican-born citizen, and will go as far in ( defending the flag as any of the -1 i who tried to take the law into their i own Hands, mo wants to asK wnetner i if the 21 harl had a iust cause of com- ] plaining against him. they would not i have reported him to the federal nn- . thorities instead of undertaking; to j regulate the matter themselves in s i ineir own wav. ? i * # $ #**** * * * * ! * UK 1) ( ROSS NOTES. * A * I | The open meeting on Wednesday afternoon was well attended, rep resentatives being present from Po. . maria.

You never call m them for aid in any good and patriotic cause without getting a learty and a gracious response. I nave been in the newspaper game lere for a long time, something lika :hirty years or more, and in that tirc9 lave had occasion to make many appeals to them for different causes, and never have they failed to respond. i'ou might say that is an experience svith three generations, and I am still young, but there was the older men tvhen I started, and those who cam? ilong with me, and those who are now actively in the business game, and, therefore, I have had to -do with all 3f them. They have their faults like all human beings, but they have a heart, and they do not mind openiug it up in all good works. The occasion 1'or these remarks, if they are appropriate or not, is the publication -'of the special Liberty L<oan section of the last issue of The Flerald and News. When I first received the advertising matter, to be T nnt think that1 T COUld do i aiiiv x vtiu uut ?,???*? v.-? v mything with it. Rut one Friday norning just two weeks ago I thought r would see, and I called on the chairnan of the county committee, Mr. lohn M. Kinard, and got his approval md in less; than two hours, just as soon as I could see the people. T hai ;old all the space, and it was taken <o crraciouslv and pleasantly that I nn not help referring to it. Not a nail declined to take any, and it was just like going to a picnic, only more r>leasant. And the samp thinsr was true when T went out to collet, the little that I charged fnr it, every or.? made you feel glad that you had come, ?nd paid the bill without a murmur, and with no suggestion that you wait until the first. That was also a real pleasure. The Newberry Drug com pany space had the Newserry savin?Ts*.flfnk printed under a few copies before we discovered the error, bit Dr. Stokes was JusCas pleasant about it as if there had been no error.
