Almost every city, town and country place is deep in discussion abouf a fitting memorial for the returning heroes of the world war. The things that have not been suggested are comparatively few, for monuments of every sort have been proposed, I from local houses of entertainment 1 - . ' -A- Vi_1 TT? ? to great lntejstaxe mgnways. unI questionably, each community should have a memorial to these men who went out to give their best for the cause of world liberty. Some of th^i made life their final bestowment?for the cause, and some have come back bearing wound scars that time will not efface, while others, whose con-" secration was equally unreserved, received no abiding mark of the struggle. Recogntion should be given for this great service by some permanent memorial. In choosing the memorial each community would do ' well to stucly the needs of the com-! munity, not only for the immediate! present, but for the succeeding ' years, ana wrtn wise reu&uxims should make provision to supply some outstanding need, so that in coming' decades the memorial to these men I may be really honoring their will-1 ingness to serve by rendering a J worth-while service to the community from which they went forth.? The Lutheran. j A wise memorial, is a worth-while memorial. That is the thing to consider. In talking to a gentleman on this subject the other day we made practically the same remark. While * -* ?11 & scan 01 granue or uiaiuic u? an right, but why not the memorial take the form of a worth while one, and we mean by that one that is really and truly a memorial and at the same time may serve some useful ~ purpose. Some* months ago our contemporary started a movement to raise a fund for, a memorial to our boys who went over seas, and Mr. W. E. Wallace, a live farmer who resides ? near Newberry, seconded the prOpo?i+i/vn Ttri*h a of $25 to " V 7 ? 7" " start the thing going. There has nothing further been done that we have seen. In order to get the monument we must get an organization of some kind to take hold of it and keep the proposition before the people. We are all ready and willing to erect uome sort of memorial to these, boys who went over, someoftfiem . not to return, and there will be little difficulty in getting a response to the proposal from our people if the matter is put before them in the proper shape. . . It has seemed to us that a memorial worth while could be ereet&t in Newberry and at th esame time be a blessing to the community in the. serving of a good purpose. We might organize a historical society anct let such society have not only the matter of preserving the history of the boys and this section but also have charge of the memorial, whatever it might be decided to' make it. We would suggest that the memo?:-i i-i? 11.- -l >4 ~ I; xiai w&e uie suapc ux a i/uuuc library and in this connection there could be kept the record of the boys and at the same tiine serve the purpose of a suitable memorial which would be worth while. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has built monuments to himself all over the country in form of public libraries and they serve a good purpose besides. So we say a public library could be so endowed as to be a lasting memorial and at the same time be doing a'work worth * XI - TTT _ _1 v "Willie in ine community. we snau have more to say along this line in subsequent issues. At the same time let it be understood that we will cooperate in any ' movement for a worth while memorial that may be decided upon by the community. The history should be put in such shape right now that it can be preserved. That was a pretty good paper we vrinted on Tuesday, don't you think so? There was just lots of good things in it. And it is the first paper we have printed in a year or more that we did not use any "pot" in, in which we did not use any "pot," that there is not a lot of good matter in plate, but somehow we don't like to see it in a paper that pretends to be home printed. And we didn't double, that is not over four inches. Well, we are coming and just can not help telling you about it. We just feel good over the fact that The Heland and News is getting once more where it can feel like going out and asking people who are making tne paper to renew, and those who are not members of the family to get their names enrolled. i | CITY COUNCIL DID WELL. , Mayor Wright stated at the citi'zens meeting that he had called it so that the report of the financial 'condition of the town might be sub- ; ,mitted to the citizens, and they ; might know just how the matter :sijpod. Wonder of Mayor Wright lever thought that if he wanted to ' onrh tliA citizens of Newberry with I ? .? la financial statement that he was: 'reaching only about one per cent of 'them through the citizens meeting,1 and that if he had first had the financial statement printed in the ; newspapers of the town he would have reached nearly 100 per cent of them. Now, some narrow and evil' minded person will be ready to say that we are moved to make this i , statement because of the small amount the papers would have re-' ceived for its publication. Be that1' as it may, the meeting ordered the statement printed as the proper way of reaching the citizens. ?. We believe in taking the people into your confidence and in the full-; est publicity of the affairs of the people. Let them know what you are doing and what you neecf and they will seldom fail to respond heartily.' j This is not a criticism 01 tne coun-; cil, but a simple .statement of facts.! I This is the people's' business and they have a right to know all about! | it. Of course the books are open^ but they will never go.there to find] ^out how. things stand. It is not practical. j The council has done well, and the ; [best that could be done with the re sources at hand, but all the people I of the town are stockholders in this, business and they should be kept in-1, i formed as to the needs of the busi-i, ness, and then let them p^t up the: | money to run it as they feei it should * be run. . . v- il i And the hearty response of those' .who were present at the meeting is evidence that the, people are willing to do what is for the best of the com-1 munity, and when the other citizens1 read the report and see the condi-1 tion and the needs there will be hearty response from them also. i. |. This meeting, however, marks the beginning of a new era for the town.! j We will now begin the building of streets that are worth while, and "the city will provide an adequate health and sanitary department, and will provide for the raising of sufficient] revenue for the town to meet the or- dinary expenses and to pay the em- : ployees the proper compensation for i their services. All the city employees are paid too small a salary except it be the day laborer. The idea of a ? i ? m clerk ana treasurer ana a cmei 01 police being . paid something, like j |$900 and a policeman less and a; street overseer less, is simply ridicul- f ious in these times^ptf,Jygh cost of; 'everything. : I But we are going .to take the right ( jstep now and forget the past except; &b lamp of experience -by which we ( may be guided. We must wake up. j The recorder gives all who are : brought before him for violating the speed ordinance a minimum of $25 i ifor the first offense and then adds: $25 for each additional time for the 1 same person until the limit is reach- f ed. There are very few persons who, !drive cars in Newberry who do not! 'violate the speed ordinance every j day that they drive. If the police1 would devote their time to bringing! up the violators of the speed ordin- J ance there would be very little" need! of issuing bonds to pave the streets, i j The speeders would soon foot the bill j ' j 4-1* 'V iUottsyhIS) T*OT7A cnm o ' ' itliu WC11 U1Cy vrvruiu uai? svmv , | streets over which to speed. The or- j idinance is not over 12 miles the; j hour in the city limits Most every: jOne exceeds that limit. It is rather .low but there are places in the city' when that even is too fast. But < [there are some who frequently go; i twice the limit and sometimes three j tfenes the limit and in these narrow ' streets entirely too fast for safety, j ;If the drivers were just a little more; ; careful at the crossings and the cor- j ners, there would not be so much! 1 i Ineed of the slow rate in the ordiI 4 nance. But there is danger in rush-, ling around these corners at a high rate of speed. It seem to us that the U. S. sena- j tors are making a mistake in print-1 ing the document which purports to be the peace treaty and acting more ' like school boys over a very serious 'and far reaching matter. The -copy J which' they have secured may be entirely different from the final action jof the men who are charged with the i making of the treaty, and the official document is the only one they should be concerned, ^about, and if it does not meet the approval of the senators then they could make their fight, but now they are fighting a .man of straw. Pity big men should j jbe so blinded by politics. in?i You will find on the inside pages j another installment of the names on . |the honor roll. There are about 50 .more of these and they .will be printjed in subsequent issues." ABOUT LANGUAGE. The human language we speak and write was invented or given to man in order that he might convey to his jj fellowman the ideas or thoughts i which he might have in his mind, j provided of course that he had any J ideas and thoughts. Sometimes what! we call the English language may be | and is written so that it does not al- j ways convey the thought - intended j bv the writer, and sometimes it is so I written that it is capable of a double construction, and in either case such a canstruction may be far from the purpose of the writer. It is also unfortunately true that the human mind is so constituted that it is prone to place the wrong or evil construc- j tion on anything that will bear such construction, even by a stretch of the imagination. # ? Now, we don't make it a rule to read over our own productions after the paper is printed, because what is | writ is writ and we can't help it, j but we did read our article on a j greater Newberry college, and some-1 how it appeared to us to contain a sentence that might by a stretch of the imagination be misconstrued. We are not going to point it out to you, and if.it did notN occur to you who? MA#* J 4-1% AlW'ml/V nyiATTl yuu l cau ixic ai utic, ptu v iucu v/i course, that you read it, why then don't go back and try to find it. The only purpose we had in writing the article was to boost the college, and try to arou?e a little enthusiasm on the subject. ' We did up* intend in the remotest degree to crit icize any of the men who are in! charge of the institution. On the other hand we want to commend them for their self-sacrificing, devotion to the old college, in that they | are doing such good work with such poor pay. We have been impressed with the idea that President Derrick is living up to the precept that he is preaching, that if you would succeed you must work. What we want to do is to instil j f-fip poIIpo-p smirit. and if vcu do it ! -X---7 ? - | must be done by and with the co- j operation of the men in charge of j the college, and that is what we are; trying to do, and if anything was considered in that article as in the slightest degree a fault-finding criticism of any of the men, on college hill, we desre to disabuse your mind right now of that idea. We are here to tell ycu that The Herald andjNews is going to do all it c^a to cause the people of this community rightly to appreciate what a big asset they have in having in their midst such an institution of * ?J iv.x x. _n learning-, ana mat we must mi get the college spirit and help to make ity even wortSf more than it is now, and this can _be done with very little effort, but even the effort will be worth the energy it lakzs. \ We are printing from The State the letter of "Grandmother" at the request of some of our lady friends. It is well written from her standpoint' and she certainly goes for the junior senator from South Carolina. We are not exercising ourself about the matter. We are not impressed with the necessity for woman suf/winA /Ja fowrtr if hut. 'fliprp ! auu uv **w am? v?. ?? ? is little need to fight it because all the signs of the times point to the fact that it is coming. We would rather have it come in the shape of State action than as an amendment to the federal constitution, but there is no use to stand in the middle of 4 the stream and be overwhelmed by the flood. Like a good many other things that are happening that are not in accord with our view, we just as well prepare for the inevitable, for they are coming. But you must hand it to Grandmother, she knows how to handle the language, and there is little mistaking her meaning. Goodric NEW ADJUSTM Fabrics Silvertown Cords ..
