jte ||?ni$ aol Sous, Eitered at the Post<?ftice at New. fetrrj, S. as rind class matter. E. H. ACIL, EDITOR. Friday, August 30, 1918. Tile people have shown good judgment in sending Fred Dominick back to congress from this district. The vote is much smaller than we expected and the majority for Dominick much less. We did not think that there were so many people in this grand old district who would be governed by prejudice in casting their vote for so important an office, but we have no harsh words to say a*JOUt them. Every one has his own viewpoint. We congratulate Frank Lever O'l his splendid victory. In normal times he never could have put over the feat. He had three mighty good men running against him, and to get majority over all cf them was some running. We are glad he has ten sent back to congTes* -because his services are needed just where he is. Our nlfT time friend "Bob C-oner will have lots of friends in Newberry now who were wont at one time to him. It is well. We wish him the best 'o luck and will do all we ran to make his administration a success. He i~ a line man and will do the right as he sees it. He has made his way to the front on his own merits and his-worth as a man. We congratulate liim. The election is all over now and we want to see every one accept tlie result in good faith and go to work for the best of the county and State. 1 We can not always have things just as we think we, should, and in this democratic country the proper thing to do is to accept the voice the people. Sometimes we may think the , voice is not just what it should be, but v,*e never all think alike all the time. The vote seems to have been very small and just why no one knows. The people did not talk about the election very much before hand ai* a sreat many certainly did not vote Tie daily papers were slower getting in 3 -o^arr** thi~ ver. r we liavs 'ever known them to be, ar.d fie facilities for getting. news is bettor than it bos ever Leon.

No time now for bitterness of speech. ^ , OCR VACATION ENDS. I stated last week that probably I ' would be able to extend my vacation into another week, but such is the fate of Z*e newspaper pian that he can not at any time be his own master, but has to serve, and it is a pleasure to me always to serve. Sometimes there seems to be little appreciation on the part cf those whom you serve, hat the greater and the better pay is that which comes from the satisfaction of duty done and possibly some one helped and uplifted, even if thereseems to be a lack cf appreciation on the part of the one helped. Butvthe man who works for pay always, and never from any other motive, whether the pay be direct or indirect, ana a claim laid up fcr future pay, never yet has learned the real joy cf living ?o? On Saturday I got 111 out cf the hospital and journeyed all by myself to Dyson via Siiverstreet and Chappells. It" was hot but the old standby did run pretty good and I had no trouble, and made the trip in a little more than two hours. It was near thirty miles the way I went. I had intended to go before, and had promised twice during my vacation, and the fatted lamb and the fat hen had "been roastd and baked for me, but hzd to be eaten without my help as TI failed to get there, 'but the good "toother after my arrival on Saturday went out and butchered a couple fa1friers artcS I had fried chicken anyway. ^ # 'My 5mtfier-in-law A. D. Timmerraan had planned to go to his old -church at Pleasant Lane on Sunday, away down in Edge-field county. It was "big meeting" there also, and lis asked me to go along. Well, it suited mo ?::d ft suited the old folk and the American boys and their mother, so we just hooked up on Sunday morning and d:ove down there, a distance of # seme 22 miles. We not a late start and rather felt that preaching would "re over by the time we arrived. But when v e got there the preacher had not tome, but the congregation was there and waiting. Finally about 1 o'clock the preacher came, and he explained his deiav by saying that his . ?"to broke down on the way and he ; /I o r* n o ?. o r* if o Ica o-at'a aiif i.l-V-ll tA. J.i U. ftiOU 5a VC UUt., and then a friend happened along and > ght him on to the church. The preacher is the Rev. James Bell White and under the circumstances he preached a good sermon. He an n01:need that the ''big meeting" would start on Monday with two services a day and dinner on the ground. I wish I could have spent the week, but had to come hpme. Tbe name of the church is Beriah. I asked my brother-in-law where the name came from and he gently informed me that it was a Bible name Well, it was a foolish question, but we all at times ask such questions. It is not. an old chureh but the con- 1 gregation is preparing to build a better and more modern church building and the lumber is now on the ground The church is seme three miles be- ' yond Pleasant Lane from our heme. This is the original home of th* T^mmermans and Lieutenant Govern- : or Timmerman is cf the sa'ue family, and this5 is where Turkey Creek and Stevens Creek flow on to the ocean and here the Timmerman5: and the Ontz and the Dorns all set- tied when they came fr-jm the old world to make their home in this beautiful new country, and here their descendants have lived and prospered 1 nnd still live and are prospering. It 1 is a long way from railroads and 1 towns jbirt is thickly settled with good 1 sturdy white farmers who make gond 1 livings and board at home. And are har>nv and contented- , ! ?0? After the preaching arrangements h^d been made for the children of-the n > . t late X. D. Timmerman 4and his wife Elizabeth Pope Abney Timmerman to ^ meet and have a sort of family re- ' union. Each family prepared the din- r ner and it was spread under the beautiful oaks in the yard of the home of one of the daughters not far from c cui'rvxi aiiu Lane. Mrs. L. 0. Miller. I was just a fain-Iv gathering. All the .children . were there, except Mr. Jerome P. T'irniernian ar.d Mr. W. H. Timmernan. Those present were A. h P.

The ~ ? others are prosperous farmers who ^ live in the neighborhood of Pleasant /"> Lane excent Mr. Jeff Timmerman who ^ is now living in Greenville. ~~0? s V was iust a family gathering and -v a good picnic dinner prepared by the t 'r-od women of the family. It is s Vautiful to see the kindly feeling which exists among the members of c tvie famiiv and the loyalty cf the one* c to the other M'hich is something thai: g always appeals to me in the members ^ cf any family. I do love to see 'broth- s and sisters and parents and child- t d^en loyal the one to the other. In a fact loyalty about which we hear so c ch in this day must begin in the ^ rr>e if it is worth the while. Wei1, s it was a pleasure to be with these p people if f"?r ">nlv a few hours, s r orv> cr\nr\ nt thp onnortunity to t " U 1 a;n v *. / h?ve met them all and to have beer? v with them on this occasion. o :?o? n The Dixie highway thn* is building f'om Florida to t>e r^ount.ains is to + < nas^ within a couple miles of Pleasant <= T ^ne.

Ov'f F AR TOR ONLY Sii rl EXCEL ENEftff ill Al.f i Supremacy of Allies Worries German High Command. I i 30che Stories of Exploits cause much Amusement Among Allied Fiyers. British Air Force Headquarters in j France.?There have been many signs ecently of extreme uneasiness by the' jiernian high command regarding the i increasing ascendancy of the allied air- i nen on the western front. This has j )een especially evident since the Araer-1 can airmen have begun to appear in :orce and have proved themselves of > ,JitJ same meiue as uic a-auu |j British flyers. It has become commonplace among I Siitish airmen that their opponents i! vill not face combat in the air unless i n strength of three or four to one. . ; i Perhaps the most striking evidence ] 3f German official anxiety regarding j ;he allied superiority in the air is to be | found in the official German wireless J lews. In an effort to counteract the ? lepressiug effect of the real facts of J he situation, the German wireless c:l- ? tors make the wildest statements, bo:'- ; iering almost on humor. Thus a recent copy of the German 1 ? no..-.. wreiess report sa^s. ou^eiim uicm- . )ds of Hying and greater skill have se ured for th:> German air force sue- i jesses on a scale such as were never j mown before." The same statement j 'efers in glowing terms to the "recess attacking spirit" of the pilots of he German chasing planes?a phrase vhich provoked much merriment ^ imong the British, French and Amercan airmen. "If Germany is really pleased with tier air record for the last few: nonths," remarked a British squadron eader to the correspondent, "there is to reason for us to complain. We ask I lothing better than that Germany should go on having the same kind cf j success in future months." He took as an example the report for j fnr whiVh Inv omn on his desk, f 'This report," be explained, "deals j! v-iih the British air fighting alone, and I ias no reference to the fine air work jj f the French, Italians and Americans. | During the month the British brought \ own o'JS German machines in aerial ? ombat, and twenty by fire from the i? round, while 100 more, were driven j own out of control and probably de- j; troyed.
