' If the favorable outloofc in the wa?* situation causes a slackening of our efforts here at home in Denair or ice allied civilian organizations engaged in furthering the welfare and strength ening the morale of the American troops, the boys over yonder will be the sufferers. The idea that cessation of hostilities will relieve the soldiers from lur, ther duty, and us from further re sponsibility for their welfare?that the moment they receive the order to cease firing all that will be left for them to do will be to shoulder the kit bags and hurry to eaten a steamer iur home?is woefully unjust to our bovs and discreditable to our good judgment. Large contingents of ^American troops will, no doubt, have to remain in Europe for months to preserve order and assist in the necessarily com. plicated and tedious process of restoration and the reconciliation of the peoples of the one-time "central powers" to the new forms of government that will be set up?in other words, getting their eyes accustomed to the light! J . V, Again, the process of bringing home and demobilizing our army of more than 2,000,000 men will be a wearisome and long-draw one one. And from the day when hostilities end until the last American soldier has set sail from France will constitute a period for such service as only the war-work organizations can ren' der. Then, the soldier will feel the absence of a great burden lifted; he will have a rfatural and easily accounted"? 11?. i.: " ?r;ij >i ior m-ciiuauuu tu iuu *?**u. Proper thought for and attention *o the soldiers' welfare during this trying period means-everything to these boys. If there, ever was a time when it was the duty of the civilian population to contribute freely and generously of their money tq> any war-work cause it is nowjn tile hour pf victory and peace J?Atlant^ Constitution. ^ '* The- above is so true and so weil said and so appropriate just as we "* *- * ??? AomnQ{flrT) - ? are la-uncmug a war luxtu that we feel that it is well to pass :t on fc this connection to the readers of The HerafftPfchd News. \x Tie news in$icq.tes that the fighting is about over, J>ut there will be a great deal to db before our boys can come home, and we at home must carry the burden just now, and we should do it willingly and well. Because of the prospect of a cessation of hostilities should not cause us here at home to become indifferent to the duties which lie before us at this time We are going to be called upon do evea mure LUO-U WC ua>c wicwiujr done, and it is just as important a-? what we did that we should do this thing tor which we are now called. No one should get the idea that his task is finished. In fact it is just beginning. 15 FRANCE LONG AGO. A newspaper, a "Reform" newspaper, doubtless ignorant that matter pearing in magazines is usually written weeks' or months before its pub Hcation, com^nts in its issue of October 18, thus upon an article relating to the six sons of Governor Manning that appeared last week in a deriodical in Washington: "Somehow when we read this story we could not help thinking what a privilege it was to have "six fine young sons in the army of their country, and all of them so near home, and none of them yet in the firing line and within the range of the German artillery. And what a remarkable coincidence fhaf nr'MloN Gii-mo r?f thorn ho/I Tioon ir? I AiHC T? UliV ^V*4*V v?i *iUU WW** *** the service since the troops were sent to the border two years and more ago, yet all of them were still in this country, and that none of them had had the privilege of going to the front and across the seas." Probably every informed newspaper th South Carolina except The Herald and 'News of Newberry knows that five of the six sons of Governor Man ^ . nlng have been in France from two to three months. Nor is it quite generous to suggest that the "boys not in France are not exposed to danger?the mortality lists in the American camps in the last 20 days are distressing reading. That suggestion could not have been intended, however, it is plain in the par_ -agraph quoted.?The State. May the Lord "bless the editor of The State for his sweet disposition i .Ktf H and kindly spirit and fraternal love which are so -characteristic of the manner in which he handles any matter in which he desires to make refi erence to his friends. Any fool would have reached the | same conclusion that The Herald and News reached from the reading of the | magazine article, namely that the | writer knew what he was talking | about and meant what he said. Of i course a wise man like the editor or ; The State knew better. The article l was published in September. If the boys had gone over seas "long ago-' it was misleading to print such information. j In view of the fact that we had defended them, against the aspersion? and criticisms of a candidate during | the campaign we were disappointed to see the statement in the magazine i tv?ot timv worn aii herp in camDS. We ( Wiiai/ VUV.T T? V/ Mix ?? ._ ! may not be an "informed" newspaper but we really thought they were over | seas long ago until we read the article. Then there have been so many crosses of honor to the war governor I for the great part he had taken and so much ?aid about his boys being iri the service it was disappointing to read that they were not where the fighting: really is. i But we are pleased to be "informed" and to know that some <five of them are over seas and where there in fighting. As to the reference to this newspaper as a "Reform" paper which I* meant to be a slur; will let tha* pass- except to say that-'-the record i will /bear outt>he statement that The ; Herald and News has never bees a partisan newspaper and a blind follower, of any faction eV^n since-*the" days of Tillman and anti-Tillman or. which possibly the now editor of The ?tate has some knowledge. On the other hand The State was founded in factionalism and has lived up to its founding. This was in type several ^issues back,. but had to give way for other matter, but we desire to be absolutely fair and print the information as to the Mannings. We saw from a newspaper the other day where one of them has been in the front line. We take pleasure, in mentioning the fact and congratulate the young man. S Teddy. Roosevelt has .Shad - all hi? four sons at thfe front *o^?iin6nths and one of them has jraid the supreme sacrifice. ;And 'ahtftSef has been wounded. They have been where the fighting was all the time. Now that the game is about ova:' there will be lots of 'em whcf will be anxious to get to "the Irottt and into the service. It reminds lis of our two-year old. He stands on a chair and watches his mother make the biscuits and when we come in he says, with much gusto, "'Daddy me and Mae made the biscuits," with much em Rhasis on the "me." But we should all do our part, whatever, that may be and wherever the service calls v.s. I? every one went to the front there would be no guns and no munitions and no food, and the front could not be maintained very long without gun? and * food; so there is .something every otic, and there is no use 10 make sa.much over any particular one, foiv^it takes all of them doing their part to win. Cooperation has been the slogan which we' have tried to sound from the beginning, and with no harsh criicism of any one who was trying CO do hi 8 duty, as best he could in whatever sphere, might be called, as we all should, and no purpose to judse the motives of others. .Many families have sent all the boys, and in many cases the services of those who went were greatly needed at home and there was sacri/ ^ lice to give tnem up, dul uuunug was said about it. Just the other day an only son was ^called from the home of a widowed mother and left only the mother and one daughter, and the son's help was greatly needed in that home. There was no blast of trumpets about this, but there was i sacrifice. And there are many others | We should be fair and treat every one ! alike. ^ Mr. James H. Fowles who was ap | pointed solicitor of the fifth circuit , by Gov. (Manning upon the death of ' solicitor Cobb was a candidate in the general election and was defeat | ed by A. F. Speigner. There was only a two day campaign and Mr. Fowles jwas defeated. It seems to be an ill , omon of some kind to get an appointiment from the governor. Maybe if ; Mr. Fowles had not been appointed he could have been elected. All of the appointees of the governor get defeated by the people. Another one of the Schroders went off Monday. That is three boys for Mr. and Mrs. Schroder and two of them in France. There will be no State fair this year and it is just as. well that it has been called off. We heard of a family in Spartanburg in which there were seven sons and all of them are in the service and in France. That father and mother should have a cross of honor or a gold meaai. tfut wnen you sena one and he is the only one you have done just as much. You have done all that you could?your duty. And we suspect they are all privates. There i=j no higher rank in the service. < t REGISTRANTS CALLED FOR EXAMINATION NOV. 11, 191$ ! y The following registrants have been notified to appear for physical examination on November 11th, 1918, at 10 o'clock: i Jenkins Bookman i Boyd Arlal Graham j Johnnie Griffin, Jr. { Charley Gilliam | James Frederick Stockman Admiral Dewey Floyd i Tarrent Dewalt !
