litrc^as^ 8? Entered st the Postoffice at New fcwry, S. C., as 3nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, September 3, 1918. JOT RIDING. Mr. Garfield the fuel administrati for the government issued a reque which was published a few days aj oil i-i loci euro nrt Snnrlj tuav on ^ivuuwi v * VAt be dispensed with, and he made only as a patriotic duty and left to the individual to say by his a whether or not he was sufficient loyal to comply with the request, was also stated that if the owne of cars did not heed the request would probably be made mandator That by complying with it wou probably save some 8,000,000 galloi of gasoline which was needed for 01 armies over seas. We are very happy to announ( that as a rule our people were loyj and observed the request and nc many cars were out on ' Sunda; though it was an ideal day for autc 1 ing. We are also sorry to -say ths I we saw several cars out that we wer surprised to see violating the reques We have no doubt they t'elt a littl < lonely and queer. Some cars owne by persons who have been very lou in Sheir prot<istaflons of loyalty an iywar activities over here. Loyalt is $he word P0^ obedience t thejrequests of those ifi -kuthoHty ! thejjmeasure of loyalty. | Tie fact is in our opinion It woul be well to stop, if it. be possible, lot ^of joy riding through the wee days if there is a need to conserv gasoline, and let a few persons wb have no time during the week fc recreation take a little on Sunda afternoon. You may see every* da a lot of people riding around in car who are just pleasuring. So far a we are concerned we do not enjo such riding, and maybe we should nc -v ? feel that others should desist but i these times if anything is needed t help our boys over there we shoul be willing to make the sacrifice whic] is very small in comparison to th ^lerifice which they are making, an< the test comes not in proclaiming loyalty with the lip or in print, bu in the making of the sacrmce itseii We have no desire to deny any on< pleasure, because we love to se' other - people enjoy themselves, bu In these^times we should make sac riflces if they will help win the wa: and win it Quick. : " ^ \ , ;v : . " ^ "We judge ~fronran editorial para grapli in The State a few days ag< * ' 9A -r #*Vi o rv% r% mat it Classes uur. vuuuiiiguam v Chester as disloyal- because he say; he voted for Blease. Surely Thi State does not class everyone as dis loyal who voted for Blease. Eve; Mr. Pollock when he spoke at :New berry said he did not say they wer N disloyal and he said he did not sa that Blease was disloyal. It is : pretty severe charge to bring agains the 40,000 democrat^ who voted1 fo Blease. We were both pleased and grie.ve? when we read an editorial in th Greenwood Index on "The tResult. Pleased when we read: "And whil: we are happy, we will not be ob jectionable to those whd are in thi minority." Because that is the prop er spirit and the way to get a gooi taste in the mouth of- all our people We are very fond , of the yoiwig gen tlemeu who operate the Index. The: are fine fellows and get out a goo< paper. Then we read: UA majority o them "were not fully miormea as i< the conditions and there are other who were made stubborn in their po sition by the "attacks" as they sav it on the man they had followed as a leader. This is a bit of huma; nature that one has to recognize an< . let the rest of us strive by patien endeavor to show and prove that ou claim was right and just." * Well, you will have a hard tim doing it so long as you Imagine tha they are "not fully informed," and oe a nuie piam, an ignorant am stubborn set of fellows, who are no true to their country. It is a prett: serious charge to say that such i large proportion of the citizens o the State are a lot of ignoramusei who need to be informed and edu cated. You are starting out in th< wrong direction if you want to ge' the people to get together, if yo'j are taking the position that you are the only ones who are right and the only ones who know what is "right and just/* Let us give you a few chunks o! wisdom from Br'er Williams: "Fly high ef you like it, but don't let the world see you limpm' off when you come down. "When Good Luck comes to you don't shout halleluia on de hilltop. ! for that's when Trouble locates you 1 an' gits you a-comin' and a-gwinin'. "No use to try to string a fence 'round de world; for ef you hat* it ; ail fenced in an' Happiness wuz on " ! de outside, you'd be ez poor ez Job's ! turkey." % m; There's some little intelligence, J some little education, some littls j patrioism in that little graup of 35,000 j or 40,000 citizens who voted wrong ! as you see it and then remember that ; there are some 25,000 or 30,000 who :>r did not vote. No use to assume that st this little group has no sense. It ;o is not complimentary to do so. iv i I A DULL PUPIL it 1 ct! ~ lyi We are afraid that the editor of the It Columbia Record is either a very dull rs pupil or an obstinate one in the ;t school of journalistic ethics. y. J Some time ago we took occasion Id to give the young man some goc-1 1S advice and to remind him that he had a trroat HppI tr? lanm Wo rpnlipr? and admitted thit our advice was ?3 good and sound, and then proceeded il to ask a question or two which we >t promptly answered and then asked yt him one or two questions which ha )- ignored. That is all right. We are it not talking about that now, because e it is tod late to have reply, but it is * 0Trir?0T)/->a fhat t.ho vnnn<r man Vi o le placed himself in a hole from which -d he could not extricate himself, and d silence was the better part of valo? d and wisdom.

TO THE TRADE: Notice to All Distributors, Converters and Users of Paper and Paper Pro ducts: Don't Waste Paper. PAPER L3 ESSENTIAL: ,, It has been placed on the priority list only on the express condition t?at all wastes be eliminated and every economy be practiced. In doing this the government will use its best efforts to provide sufficient paper for strictly needful purposes but nothing more. Every distributor, converter or user of paper is Tiereby notified that the continuance of his supply is dependent entirely upon the strict observance ol the rulings of the "War Industries Board, one of which is that paper must not be wasted. (Failure to com... 1 J. ?in i^ ply witn cms requirement win iwu to the withdrawal of any or all priority privileges, without which the supply cannot be maintained. War Industries Board. Seven Reasoss Why Paper Mast Npt Be Wasted. > . 1. The government's requirement? Par all kinds of paper are increasing rapidly and must be supplied. 2. Paper making requires a large amount of fuel which is essential for war purposes. A pound of paper wasted represents from ose to three pounds of coal wasted. 3; iPaper contains valuable chemicals necessary for war purposes, Economy in the use of paper, will release a large quantity of these materials for making' ammunition or poisonous gases. > -= 4. iPaper making requires labor and capital, both of which are needed in war service. 5. Paper making requires transportation space. Economy in the usa if naner will release thousands 0! freight cars for war purposes. 6. Greater care in the purchase and > se of paper will save money. Yoir savings will help finance the war. 7. Strictest economy in the use of paper will prevent a shortage.

I t : us off and we will follow suit though j we hate- to part with their. regular .' visits. ?; Then the order is to take off all t free papers and this will have to be I done also. We do not >iave as many i on that list as once was on our mail. j ino; list. They will have to go also ) to comply with the rulings and order of the war board. Another important order is that no papers must be sent to subscribers that are not paid for in advance. We ; had already adopted that rule and at the price we are sending the paper no one should object to paying for It in advance. For the last two or three months we have been so short of help and had so m,uch to. do that i we have really neglected our mailing li^t and have not corrected it for several months. We have now made j j the corrections and given the credits ! as best we can and on the loth of j this month all who have not paid for j j the paper whl be taken off. we will ! endeavor to send a statement of the time of expiration and if we do not hear from you iby the 15th we will have to part company. We have no ' further discretion in the matter. We no doubt have made some mistakes in giving credit. If so we will be ' pleased to make the correction if you will let us know. But the order for cash in advance from the war board > is imperative and while we have been : trying to keep our list on that basis we have not done so absolutely on account of being unable to get the list corrected promptly, but it shall be our purpose to correct it every week from this on. We would be pleased to have all our subscribers remain, but if they do not pay we will have to take them off. Do not delay if you do not want to miss any papers. .,...
