JLULL, EDITOR, Tuesday, May 21, 1918. *#****#* * a . * THE AMERICAN'S (REED: * # * * "I believe in the United States * * of America as a government of * * the people, >by the people, for the * * people; whose just powers are * * derived from the consent of the * * governed; a democracy in a re- * * public; a sovereign nation of * * many sovereign states; a perfect * * [Union, one and inseparable; es- * * tatolished upon those principles * * or freedom, equality, justice * * and humanity for which Ameri- * * can patriots sacrificed their * * lives and fortunes. * * "I therefore believe it is my * * duty to my country to love it, * .* to support its constitution, to * * obey its laws, to respect its flag * * and to defend it against all * * enemies." * * ? Senator Tillman's address to the State convention is much more moderate and conservative than is customary for him. It is a strong presentation of his claim for being rejzlontorl to tho cortafp ihnt if- Iflpfcs thp fire and snap that have been characteristic of his utterances in the past, ^e says there never was any foundation for the supposition that he had entered a deal with any one to get out of the face. We are pleased to make the statement as we intimated In a former editorial that there might be a frame up. It 'being true that there has been o<mnATnon+ frt?> him + r\ orot ftllt tllfl UV J.V1 UliU IV/ V/V*t bMV wonder to us is even greater' that Prank Lever let his old time political enemies fool him into the senatorial race in the hope that he might be elected. We can .see now no chance for him at all. We understand that some of the politicians in this county who should, by an tne rules ana amenities of life, if they had any appreciation of help in the past, he for Tillman, are actively at work for !Lever, and they may succeed in beating Tillman in Newberry county, but ! it is doubtful because the people will fce 'aible to see through the game. 9 These politicians do not knowr what the word gratitude means. We doubt if they have ever heard of the word. Certainly it does not figure in their' 0 vocabulary. ?? Mr. W. P. Pollock who was elected president of the State convention is evidently one of those get together and lay aside factionalism statesmen of whom the editor of the Yorkville Enquirer wrote: "Let's get together. You give up all your aspirations for nolitical preferment, surrender your judgment and conscience to me. and let me do your thinking for you. I'll hold the office, control the patronage, represent the prestige and leave you to come when when you are sent for. Yes, it's up to you only. Let's get together." And it is "the other fellow who is the demagogue. I'm the statesman. It's my privilege to cuss and abuse. You must be meek and humble and lowly and come only when you are sent for." Unless we are badly mistaken there will be trouble in the old land if Mr. Pollock continues the kind of undignified use of the English language during the summer that lie mauiaeg mmseii m at State convention. This is a time when we want to see the people get together, and when there should be unity of purpose and action, but. we utterly fail to see how you are going to get the people together by abusing every one who may not agree with you. 9 One of the best things we have seen on the war discussion is a paragraph from Frank Stanton's column in the Atlanta Constitution. It reads: "We hear a lot of talk about how to win the war. The best thing we know of to win it is to get you a good repeating gun, <jet on the front line and use the gun. That' beats all your cheap talk. We know, because we have tried it." And here is another chunk of good stuff in the same connection: \ "When the Lord made man He made him out of clay, set him up by The wall to dry and was to. come back later and put brains in him; but when He returned, a lot of them had gone off without any brains. And a darn . sight of them are loose here with us yet?those that walked off without drains." SUBSCRIBE TO THE HERALD ANT> HEWS. I a <a>m> rile. One of the rules adopted by the '! Democratic convention in Columbia j should have the endorsement of all : Wfl rofor i/\ thn j li UC UCiliU^i ttio. n V A VW ; new rule which will require all voters to swear that tiiey did not vote i against the nominees of the party in the General Election in 'November j ; 1917. (1916 we suppose it means.) ! j The men declared nominated by ] I the party machinery were the demo cratic candidates. Any candidate j 1 aggrieved at the decision of the of- j ficers of the party so decreeing had j a right to contest their decisionn be, fore the courts. Failing to do so, : it was the duty of all democrats to j j accept the verdict. No man had a j j right to try the case before him-j , self, and give his own decision on ! : whether or not the nominations had ! been regularly made, anc still claim to be a part of the democratic I party. We think we clipped the above from ! the Spartanburg Journal, or it may ! have been the Greenwood Journal j ' Sorry we can not give the proper j j credit. : The rule may be a goorl one, but i ! we would toe inclined to invite the \ . stray sheep back into the fold even ; s if they were temporarily lost. You | i recall how the good Book talks about j | the one sheep that had gone astrayj and was lost and then the ninety and nine that had not gone away but I were already saved and so no. But, we. ! wpro wondering whv the convention 1 made the rule apply only to 191' How about those democrats who strayed off and voted for Palmer and : Buckner in 1896, and those who voted j for Dr. Sampson Pope in 1S94, and those good democrats who voted; j for General A. C. Haskell in 1890. So^e of the are still j . liviline . and some of them had ( . something to do with the mak-5 inc nf fhie rnlp and flnn1viner it to the 1916 election. Tn fact some of. those who arp now taking up the, fio-ht for Senator Tillman were among those who bolted his nomination in 1S90 and voted for Haskell. We thought this was a time when we; wanted all our people to get together, and to undertake to drive some of them out of the party is not a good ! cfort Wp tMnV we saw where one paper wanted to exclude every one f-i-o nf this country gting into war. Well, politics not only makes queer bed fellows, but causesome people to take queer positions. < The whirligig of time brings Tillman 1 back, not into the house of his old 1 friends, but right into the arms and I caresses of those who when he began : bis career fought, him to the extent . of bringing out a ticket against him. i And then some of his one time friends and those he made what thev have in i i' i politics are now gone astray and fondling Mr. Lever into the notion that he could be elected and they' i never loved Lever much before, that < j i:i> uiitr cvci it;au tx'uuui. | So far as we are concerned we have always stuck to the nominees and have eaten our crow like a nice little i man should do. i ? CLOSING EXERCISES ; SILVERSTREJET SCHOOL i __ t i * * j Somehow I have felt a personal in j terest and a personal pride in the school at Silverstreet. I had some-; 1 i thing to do with the building of the i school house and its location and ths I 1 purchase of the lot and the votiny | of the tax for the maintenance and ; the establishment of the school an*? , ' I can not but help feel a personal in- j ! trcst in seeing the school succeed.' ! } And somehow the teachers who have * | been there have been a little partial j and 1 have been invited to take pari j I in nearly ad I of the closing exercises j I of the school. j | At the time 1 became county sn- ! | perintendent of education there wa.s j no school buildinsr in the district. I though the trustees did own a lot the ! title to which was somewhat conditioned upon the building of a school house on it. The people had heen! very much divided in their school : matters and during the short time j that I held the office we managed to ! buy .a lot and erect a $4,000 school! ? j house and open a two teacher school ! j I and vote a two mill tax for main- j tenance. the district already havinsrj . a two mill tax, and the two entitled j them to a rural graded school because; they bad the children. All this in less , j ? than a year and n half would make> : ont have a rieht to feel nroud, and I ! to take an interest in the school ! I i This year and lact vast year t'ie! ! principal, Miss Rosine Singlev. in- j sisted that I should be present and j i direct the exercises for her and pre- j j sent the certificates to those who had ; finished the course at the school. It was a pleasure to comply 'with her request, and as I had also promised to be at Dead Fall the,afternoon o? the same day^ one trip accomplished i both. On account ot the rains the afternoon and night before, 1 went to Silvers! reet on the afternoon train am] .Mr. Henrv 0. Long was 1-ind enough % to take me to Dead Fall, and aftei the exercises there 1 went down tc his fine country place and had a good meal and then back to Silverstreei for the exercises there. Mr. Lone has one of tht best roads from th^ steel bridge road down to his honu in the county, and he built it himself. I hod the pleasure of comin<: back home with Mr. Claude H. Williams and Mr. E. S. Blease in Mr Williams' car. Owing to the rain on Monday even+ Vi a nmorrn m thnt harl "hf^n u;fj ? ? scheduled for that evening was postponed to Tuesday evening and both programs rendered. All the young foik acquitted themselves handsomely and reflected credit upon the excellent training they had received. And as I heard these young folks and looked at them I could 'but wonder how any one could have been opposed to the building of this fine school in thir, community where before they had f\r* nnlv n tpmnorarv abode and HUUCt vv... . a one teacher school. I am satisfied that now there is no one in the com rnunifv who regrets the money put in this school. The serrrnri on Sunday was nre^'hed by Dr. J. Henry Harms and while I did not. have the pleasure of hearing it I konw it was a good one. The program for the primary grades which was rendered on Tuesday evening is as follows: Song?America.

I also in behalf of the trustees presented a modal to Lois 'Nichols who r^nde the highest mark in recitations of any pupil from the first to the 7th grade, with honorable mention oi T '"lliar Blair who was only a fraction behind.

And at a meeting o! t-io natrons Tuesday afternoon they recommended to the trustees that they reelect Miss Bushardt for an other school year at an increase in salary. And they also recommended that 2 tax he voted of four mills in addition 10 the two mills now levied. The following program was carried out and at the request of the teacher Col. E. H.
