Hunt and commends the trustees for recognizing the services of a faithful and hard working friend who also richly merits the honor conferred. "Wonder what the idea is in having the Press association meet on Mon day. That seems to us to be a sort of bad day to start out on unless it is the purpose to go the entire week. But one day suits us as well as another. Except it be Monday or Thursday. However, we are going to make an effort to be there on Tuesday. NOT "I" OR "WE." There appeared in The State a few days ago an article replying to Maj. Caldwell and another writer on the suffrage question, signed "E. H. A." There was no post mark so as to designate the domicile of the writer. There are a few people who have suspected that the editor of this pa? ?? ntifViA* An Qopnnnf nf +VIP ?*GI~ W??0 UIC ailtaivsi.

Carter Column, Wichita (Texas) Daily Times. Well, may be it is better to have one week than no week at all. One week would be refreshing in this good old town. Wonder if it is possible to get that much. We need it and may be it would profit us just a little, but we agree with the Carter Column that it would be much better to have each and every week a clean ?

Except Dr. Daniel. But as a gentleman remarked the other day tfiere has been a fearful neglect of Rome and Greece. We have not even heard them mentioned. Well, it is all right. Let them tell us about it. The only fellow we have heard talk who didn't want to talk about the war is the fellow who was over there and had a real part in the bat tie. Mr. Ropp said he wanted to forget the whole thing. He did not want to recall any of the horrors that he suffered. And that is the way of all the boys who were in the thick of the fray. They have enough. Dr. Cromer is a true and tried friend of Newberry college, but he is not the only person who is now in Newberry who was at the college when it had a habitation m tne pnotograph gallery, and who has been with it all the years since, and who has helped it grow to a hundred thousand dollar plant over on the hill. He has been played up by the college more than some of us, because he has. been possibly a little closer to the powers that held the %reins, but for 32 years we haye played up the college. We were here too when the college came from Waihalla and located in the photograph gallery. We managed to "go through" the college and were largely instru jpentai 111 SCIlUlIIg WlC VUijr brothers that we have through, and two of our own have gone through, and three others have been students, and we now have two more real American boys that we expect to go through when they "grow up" to the point where they can enter. That's not a bad record is it, Doctor? Can you beat it? fmvn i?: o-oirtp* to snend vjiccin* wu wvfn? at least a half million in buildings by individuals during the remainder of this year according to contracts already let. There are no contracts even let around here. When the Commercial Bank begins its new ( building and the National Bank gets ; to work on the skyscraper it is going ! to put up, and both have already 'bought the lots, then there will be ;< something doing. But just now? < j] A WISE MEMORIAL. !< Referring: again to the ^orm a }] I ? ? j memorial to our soldiers should take, ' j i we are pleased to see that our idea of 1 ja worth while memorial is endorsed .by Gen. Pershing and also by Secretary Lane, or we endorse their idea, whichever way you desire to put it, jeach without knowing what the other J had done or had thought of along. 1 this line. From a recent issue of the i] Atlanta Constitution we take the fol-! lowing from its Washington corres-J jpondent, Mr. J. A. Holleman: Building Memorials to American ' Valor. j With the slogan, "Memorialize j ithe living as well as the dead," a na- j j ' i itional committee has been formed, ,J | J j consisting of one hundred prominent men and women from coast to coast,, (to act as an advisory board to states ' and municipalities in erecting suita-1' jble war memorials. * General Pershing has approved (the construction of "useful commu- 1 ^ ? -J 1? .'1 4-lt-M/vtinnViAnf +V\/i I ^ jlllty UUUUlIlga tlliuugiivun vnv vvuuvaj |as living tributes to those who served | in the war. This sort of monument," ( jhe adds in a letter of approval, "ap- { 'peals very strongly to me, a i , [should have a great effect in u fu- |* ture lives of our citizens." Secretary Lane, of the (k_ -J iment of the interior, is honorary | chairman of the committee, and he ( jhas sent to 5,000 cities and towns of :the countrv letters in which a "liv-,^ ing memorial" is suggested as the 4 most appropriate and lasting form of c memorial. J y iJ The committee on war memorials wants it distinctly understood that it does not finance nor assist in financing the construction of these memorials. It only lends its efforts, and the work or information of its ^ 'experts in sculpture and architecture |and designing, to communities, without charge, in endeavoring to assist such communities in arriving at suit-;. able kinds of memorials, based upon'j jthe- money in each instance that will j . ; be available for that purpose. IJ j The committee has already been' advised of 160 cities in America that i will erect memorials; and of course ithat; number will be verv larerelv in creased. Several states will erect memorials, by authority of their legislatures. Most of these will probably be memorial buildings, libraries or annexes, so that the beautiful 'sentiment of commemorating the j loyalty of sons in war r~ay ^e coupled with practical utility. I You will observe that what we say 'about endorsing our position is correct. Gen Pershing approves useful . | community buildings as a suitable ! memorial, and Secretary Lane says that a( "living" memorial is the thing to have, and by that he means just what Gen. Pershing says that a 'memorial in the shape of a library or | community building, and the two could be combinedyin one building is the best and most worth while me morial that could be builded. We are going to offer a suggestion 'along this line for the Newberry mejmorial iiM&a subsequent article, but 'just now we want to get the public jinind to begin thinking along the line of a worth while memorial. Some-j tliinc that, will for all time be worth t i ? ? I while to the living, and at the same jtime be a fitting memorial to the i 1 dead and to those boys who offered j | their lives on Flanders field and at ; other places across the seas. A friend of ours suggests the establishment of scholarships. We j ! take second place to no one in the j ; matter of education, and in encour- 1 ;aging all our boys to educate them-] | selves, and we are willing to help! and encourage in all ways that we j can, and to do what we can to help,1 our colleges and schools, but to be j' I perfectly frank, we have never been jmuch of an advocate of scholarships, i .We would like to see our colleges ^endowed so that they might offer , 'the boys and girls the best advant-j' | ages possible with as little cost as i possible to the boys and girls, but we j would rather help what we are ; pleased to term the common school and the high school than to help . boys and girls go to college. Some-j, 'how we have an idea and have hadj' for a long time that any boy or girl,' 'in South Carolina with a capacity to | take a college education and pre-j pared to enter college can get that!, i ^education without the use of scholarships and will be the better for so | ; | doing. i And, therefore, we can not agree j; .'with our friend that the establish jilieut ujl siiiwaisHiua wuuiu uc wiu , proper way to build this memorial, j 'or the proper course the memorial,; should take. Eut we will have more i .1 ,to say again on the subject. Think about a worth while memorial in the meantime. I GOVERNOR DENIES OFFER OF JUDGESHIP. Columbia, June 13.? Governor | 3opoer has given out a statement j denying that he has been offered the J position of federal judge for the: >astern district of South Carolina. Reports in circulation here and in j Washington were to the effect that t ;he governor would be offered the | position. Border Guarded. El Paso, Texas, June 17.?Every border city, town and hamlet along :he Rio Grande in this district is being garrisoned by detachments of American troops by General Erwin bo prevent the possibility of a Villa raid across the border in retaliation j for the expedition against Villa's forces in Mexico. The Common Average. No stronger evidence of the im- i portant fact that the Ford Motor car i las become a veritable part of the ; ife of the people, could be asked for j ;han is given in the registration re- j :ords of the various states which1 comprise our country. ? * * -O- T ! For instance, in tne monm ui jau- j iary there were 11,450 cars of all nakes registered in the State of Montana, of which 5,790 were Ford :ars. This means one Ford car for j ?very other car, of every make and j 130 over. This proportion is very ivenly maintained in the other 47 j ;tates. There are more than 6,000,500 motor cars in operation in the j United States, more than one-half i )f which are* Fords. Truly, Henry Ford has been a j Teat factor of benefit to humanity i is he has brought the most economi- j :al solution to the great problems of j ransportation, and by the fruits of ! lis genius has linked town and coun- j ry, community to community, and j oade the whole country- a common j neeting place for all the people. "Did I understand you to say Mr. ! arabcoin enjoys a large income?" "He used to." "But isn't he still rich?" "Yes. He quit enjoying his large ncome about the time he received ! lis first income tax blank. Birm- j ingham Age-Herald.
