I note your personal editorial in The Observer nf thi? date T am ex ceedingly sorry if anything that I < may have said in The Herald and , News could be construed fey you or any one else as an effort on my part to misrepresent you or to poison the public mind against you or The Observer. Nothing was further from < my mind than to do anything of the ; kind. If it has been so construed ly j you or any one else I take pleasure in withdrawing the words anfl assuring you that such a purpose was not in my mind. T rvvi /NV.

True, many 3 times we have not agreed on men and 1 measures, but at this time we should ; not have personal differences or un- j dertake to quarrel over matters that \ are not essential to the main business < cf winning this war. As President ] "Wilson says, the winning of the war 1 is a task. which is set before thi ( American people, and that should en- ] gage all of our attention at this time. , I appreciate the kind words you say : ahout my hoy and his forbears, and : take this opportunity to thank you for IJ the many kind words yoi have said j1 a'bout all my fooys, even before ono < cf them enlisted in the service of his 1 i country, and on their behalf as well t as my own I desire that you shall ; i! iknow that we appreciate it. Manv ] t:'mes have I heard the mother of the i toy now in France speak of how c much she appreciated the kindness o* i yourself and "Mrs. Wallace when she ! I was a pupil of yours, and how kind j i ycu both were to her, and sometime' i X am almost persuaded that it was j q a merciful Providence that spared her ' r the grief which she could not have , 1 held 'back at seeing her Benjamin of. ; t v fer his life on the field of battle, and ; t yet tjiere was no 'better or braver lit- j r tie woman,' and she would not have j d her b'ovs do less than their duty. But j y never having known a father's love ! a and care it would have ibeen 'hut nat- j ur&i that she should have grieved for | C him. Under these facts, I would be j ? less than human to intentionally mis- 1 represent you or undertake to poison i the public mind ag&inst you. and if r T IrnAnr wvcolf T V* o ^ ?/\ aVi ir?fan_ I 1 J. aiiv/n uijwvii X liau 11KJ 9UL11 | J tion. Pardon these personal refer- T ences, fbut I want to make myself t clear to you. j As to my support of 'Mr. Blease, t that is another matter. I will say i this, however, so far as what any man, ? 5n or out of congress, may he able to i do for the boys over there, I am fully j t persuaded in my own mind that if i there was anything that could be f done that Mr. ;Blease would do it c more readily, whether elected or not. a Nathan any man who is now in the race < ior senator. But mere is not mucn j j that they can do, and with all this ; r talk a*bout loyalty T am persuaded 1 that ?lease is just as loyal as any of e them, and the speeches and editorials that are being written and delivered c are more for political effect than 1; anything else. We are all with the h government and the success of the t task that is before us, the winning of c the war, and will do what we can.

I did not get to finish this letter until Saturday on account of an appointment to visit my father and mother, and on my return Saturday I am sorry to hear that you have again 'been forced to take your bed on account of illness. I hope you may soon be able to be at your post again. You are at liberty to print this i* you so desire. I had thought when T wrote it that T would not print it in The Herald and -News, but. since considering the matter I have concluded that it would be but fair to you to nrint your personal editorial and this [etter, and I will do so. With sentiments of the highest e? teem, T am. Very sincerely vours. 77. H. Aull. Editor The Herald and Xews. < !> ? Ol'R ASSWER, We print today the two ed'toria!? :rom the Columbia Record in the ratter about which we have been ivriting. White paoer is scarce, and ret The Record took a lot of space. 3ml we are taking a. good deal with he matter. We are pleaded that The Record lias learned a few lessons in ethics, but the trouble is it wont stay "learned." and soon goes off again, not in replv to The Herald and Xews, how avpr. because that was a nice article eon wrote. If the editor would read The Herald and News a little more closely it would not foe necessary to ask th* i.uestions it propounds. Only recsnf!y we said that we did not approve ;he abuse of others indulged in by Mr. Blease. and neither did we a^-! Drove the aibnse of him by others, both nduteed at Ior..fr range. If that is the inestion. we fav, no. we do not ar>>rove the applying of epithets by Mr ' Blease to any one. It does not em- ' )hasize the truth. Now suppose we ask you a few [uestions. Do you believe t.h^t everv nan who may vote for Blease is dis- : oval? If ?ou so believe, yon musf i lave some g-ood ground upon which | o base the 'belief. Then, is it your mrpose to have all such arrested for lislovalty under the espionage act? I! ou do not, are you doing your duty s a good citizen? inonesr, now. You admit that Mr rottrell is a high toned and honorhie gentleman. Do you think .you lave acted the honorable gentleman n endeavoring to discredit, him as a j tewspaper man, toy publishing all that j abored stuff to discredit him and hi? i ! eports? Would you have published \ hat last telegram if it had not been j )u<blished in The American? Did you eally care how much you might have niured the reputation of an honorable gentleman, if by so doing yon nip'Tif" f*t-ttt a - T\rnnf otr??ir>et q? on_ ' M-0"v J Ull Mii- | agonist, and was that not your pur- i >ose, and did you not make a disma! ailure, honest, now? From what we j :an learn 110 man stands higher imong his newspaper brethren than ^ottrell, and you admit it, and yet ( 'ou were willing to cast a slur on his epuation if you could injure a poitical antagonist. That is not the ithics we endorse. Do you? (Do you think that every member of oneress who voted against a dec aration of war is disloyal, and that lis reelection would cast a stigma on he State? If so, what about Kitchin if North Carolina, who is floor leadr of the democrats in congress? He Lot only voted against it, but made a peech against it. He has been re1 I ' I i Tomatoes \ Beans. i 1 them for 3<ou in any i save your stuff. That re well equipped for the 3ur work. We stand by is at Dollar Down's Old _ I! annery Co. . I. Herbert, Manager received at the cannery on Saturdays J elected without opposition. Yv'e have 1 I not seen where there is any stigma : on the good name of North Carolina, cr anything hcing said about the loyaltv of the 0!d North State- Have you? j Do you think it is the part of an honorable editor to sit in his sanctum ; and call a man a "fledgling,'* and i would you stand on his toes and to i his face and apply the word? No, | you would not dare to stand face to face with Fred Dominick and tell him he was a "fledgling of Blease." or anv one else. No man stands higher in his community than Fred Dominick, regardless of political differ; ences, and not even his bitterest political enemy will endorse your epi- i thet. not any one who knows DomM nick. Suppose yon let us oive yon an- ' other little lesson in ethics? Don't sit in your sanctum behind your toi/r desk and fling- epithets that you nnf car fnr?P tn for-a with the man aihout whom you are writing. The honorable cenHppian will not do Jt. The trouble with you, we ar"1 af"???( ]. that you have a h^ e??p of tVt.a .^jy and von need tr^a^ment.

When to the camp they go And souls ? -o white as snow, Kee: j *.h one pure; Keep them within thy sight, Keep them both day and night, Protect them by thy might; Make them secure. i They leave their native shore And fight for us and more, It is thy will; I Thev sail across the wave, I They face a erne! knave. But thou, O Jesus, save; Speak, "peace, he still/' I j When in the charge they go And steel begins to plow, Be thou nearby: VvThen airships rise and soar.

Air rarnontpr Vine ma/Id m;in?r > friends since coming to .Newberry and the trade at Haltiwanger's has been steadily growing under his management. ~ There may have been some sort of an idea in the minds of some that the | -Xewherrv store is an annex so to I speak of the Columbia store, and that i I goods were shipped from there to i Newberry after they had been put on sale in Columbia; We want to disabuse your mind of that. All purcha- 1 ses for the Newberry store are made directly for that store and with a view of serving the Newberry trade and nr? second hand goods or any other kin-! are sent from Columbia. The only advantage derived from the Columbia store is the fact that it gives ^Halliwanger an advantage in purchasing at a cheaper "price and to better advantage bv huvino- i-, ]ar<ro rmnnti t?es, larger than he would have to bny if there was only one store. an?! the natron? or cusTCTers of the Newberry store are given the bene^.t of ypa . j? *jtw^ .
