Mr. W. H. Wallace, j;
Editor Observer, <
Newberry. i
Dear Mr. Wallace:?
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.

an. and have always found 3*011 an j
* honorable competitor. 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

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 e
do not think that 'because a man did n
not favor a declaration of war is any

I did not get to finish this letter
until Saturday on account of an appointment
to visit my father and

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

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

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

The s?r> stomal campaign is scbed-'
uled to b^ held in Newberry on "Wed- jj
nesdav. We bone tho candidates will <
\
confiene their speeches to a discussion
of issues and not. to an abuse of men. j
as seems to have been the case at
other meetings, if we are to judge by :
the newspaper reports. Ana tnat tnev j;
will tell the -voters why they should j
vote for them rather than why they ;
should not vote for another. j
We have been wondering if The ]
State and the News and Courier had
overlooked the fact that the two campaigns
are still in progress and that
the primary has not yet been held. |
We have not seen anything in the i
editorial columns of either for sev- !
eral days on the situation, and we
thought we would just remind them
that the campaign was still in progress
for fear they may have over- j
looked it. And that the primary lias \
not been held.
GOD SATE OUR BOYS.

God save our precious iboys,
Fill them with purest joys,
God save them all.
Save them throughout this strife,
Save them when death is rife,
Save each and every life;.

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.
When cannons /ire ami roar.
vVhen fields are r^d with go?e;
Oh hear their cry.
I \
Make each one brave and strong
Like men in lore end song,
I - *
And nothing less;
Make them victorious,
I Make each one glorious,
Thou who art over us;
Give them success.
Then 'bring them home again,
Bring home our noDie men,
Roth safe and sound;
Let gladness banish gloom
Rejoicing fill ^he home. |
Let fields and flowers "bloom:
Sweet peace is found.

Ajj oi" you know where Haitiwanger's

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

bny if there was only one store. an?!
