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?

a plea of not guilty. We are not engaging
in a discussion of this question,
however live it may be. We
are* in the classic language of a distinguished
law maker, "agin it." But
we are not discussing it.

We have had 'em here right on up
from the college boy to the baccalaureate.
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?

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.

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.

The Chevrolet Sales and
Service Sign wherever you see
it stands for Satisfying Service.
It is a true guide to a
dependable purchase and dependable
service afterwards.
Chevrolet cars are built to
stand up under the strain and
stress of continuous use. They
are built to serve economically
and efficiently and to last long.
Chevrolet service is based
upon the principle that the
only kind of Chevrolet owners
worth having are pleased
ones. f In its operation true appreciation
is given to the needs
of those who must use their
car with minimum operating
costs day in and day out every
month of the vear.
As Chevrolet dealers we
back up every claiir *nade for
Chevrolet cars and Chevrolet
service. If you are already
an automoDiie owner vuu can
appreciate what this means. If
you are interested in automobiles
you will be doubly interested
in all we can offer you.
