A WISE MEMORIAL.
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

| 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.

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

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

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.

Senator Lodge says that H. P. Da- ]
yison the head of the Red Cross work j
for the past two years put the copy |
of the peace treaty in his hands, j
That Mr. Davison brought the copy 1
over with him from France before 1
there was any restrictions as to se-1
crecy. We do not see anything in j
the whole matter to make such a row ,S
about. The only thing if the sena-! I
tors should get a copy that is not I
official there may be many import-! J
ant changes made and therefore it 1
seemed ?to us that ?he proper thing 1
for the senate was to await the of- *
ficial copy and not print the long J
conv that came into the hands of!
senators and then subsequently print 1
the official copy. J

"Tanlac is. the only medicine thatij

ed Prof. W. A. Wood, of Centralj,
.Graded school, Winder, Ga. "It has,
restored her health and relieved us j
of untold anxiety,-for her case was ]
a most serious one. - '"Ij
"Her main trouble seems to be :
nervous indigestion," he continued.'
"She had suffered fOur years and
had lost in strength and weight -in '
spite.of the best treatment we could !
get. he was extremely nervous and
the loss of sleep pulled her down to
a shadow. She could digest little .
she ate, and suffered from gas on the 1
stomach, heartburn and nausea, and
she had headaches most all the time,
with persistent constipation.
"After some hesitancy we decided 1
to try Tanlac, and she began to show
decided improvement with the second
bottle. She has since taken several,
and the change has been marvelous.
She is gaining in strength,
and weight every day and practically I'
oil fcpr troubles have left her. She .
eats and enjoys anything she wants j'
and rests well at night. I have never
seen such improvmeent in any per-,
son in such a short time."
