lilt ^emiD aB0 jrai Iitered at the Postoffice at New?J ferry, S. C., as dad class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOK Tuesday, September 9, 1919. Mr. John G. Capers well known in Sputh Carolina where he was born, but for many years a resident of Washington, died suddenly at his ^ home in Washington on Friday. Mr. Charles M. Galloway, a mem- i ber of the civil service commission j at Washington has resigned, his resignation being asked by President : Wilson. He gives out a statement in which he says that his resignation came about because he would not do the bidding of Postmaster Burleson. President Wilson is making his i tour of the country explaining the ! peace treaty and the league of nd- : tons. The Herald and News is printing his opening speech in full, part of it this issue and the balance in the , next paper. You will want to read I ] it. Mr. Wilson is sure that the ; treaty will be ratified and the league ( of nations adopted. We believe so too. The only thing is the delay, , - and the world needs to get on a set i ' tied basis of peace as soon as possible. m^ . 1 The second primary in the seventh : and sixteh congressional districts ] will be held today. In the sixth dis- j i trict the race is between Sherwood j < of Horry and Stoll of Williamsburg. ? I In the seventh district the race is'1 between Timmerman of Lexington J; and Mann of Calhoun. The State j! says that the Richland vote will de-J i cide the contest in the seventh dis-: 9 trict. If that be correct the chances! are in favor of Timmerman from what we heard in Columbia the other | day. ' \ 11 ?? A TRIP?ABOUT ROADS. I had intended to attend the bar becue at Mr. M. JV1. Wicker's on *'ri- j day, but found that I had to take a i trip to the old home in Greenwood county, this time on a matter of a lit, tie business, and, therefore, could j not be at the barbecue. However, I always delight in going home, because I know there dwells there two people who are now not as young in j years as they once were, but who are still young in spirit, and will always j be young to me, who are always glad: to see me, and I know there is noj simulation in their pleasure. That; counts for much in this day of self- j ishness and sham and make-believe. | So I hooked up 111 and took one ; h -of my American boys, and we two' made the trip in about two hours, a 1 distance of 25 1-2 miles. And Strange 1 as it may seem, it is the same dis- j1 tance fronfNewberry home as it is 1 , fr?. n home to Newberry. I measured . * .i jth ways on this trip. We left 1 Newberry at 8 o'clock, and made the j( run without mishap. Made a very * brief stop at Chappells, and never j net a car fronj Newberry all the way, ]1 except Mr. J. Tas Senn just about * .hree miles out, and there were very; * few people riding the road in any. * sort of vehicle. Of course, it is not * necessary to state that I never passed ^ a car,' because every one knows that;j * i do not ride fast enough to passj any sort of car, though I might do i it if I cared to. Coming back I came t nearer to a serious accident than I: s ever have in all my driving. At the < river bridge you can not seB if there ; * jS a car coming from the other side, i and the party coming can not see i :ither, and if you two happen to , i meet on the bridge some one has to < back to let each other go by. \ Just j as I was ready to drive on the bridge i '1 cars hove in sight, coming across.: t There is a terrible ditch just as you 1 approach the bridge from the Green-, 1 vood side, and a broken in bridge < , that is dangerous to cross. I had i passed over this broken bridge just f as the cars came to that end of the 1 iver bridge. There was nothiing to . < do but for me to get back. 1 never;1 oould back track, even with a car, ] but I foolishly tried to do it, and. 1 ;nto the ditch the front wheel ; promptly went, and there I was, but ] the pleasure of the condition in j i which I found myself was that the 1 old 111 did not turn over. The chauf-; < feur for one of the cars came over;: to my car and said he could back me j < out, which he did, and we passed; 1 each other. But I did not get over : aiy fright until I got home. The j point of this reference is, to beg the < Greenwood county supervisor to have ? ;his bridge repaired, and make the i oad at the. entrance to the river ; : ridge wide enough for two cars to | -1- A * J A ! iiSS eUCIi UUItTI.

And < almost beyor.d traveling over, i ihough there is a lot cf travel be- i tween Greenwood and Chappells. On the Newberry side of the river the road leading up to the bridge has been worked and is in fairly good condition. A bridge has been built over the branch iust this side of the river, and a fill made so that this \ bad place is in good repair. I was told that the town of Chappells through the good offices of the mayor, Mr. Crumley, did the job, and a very good job it is. The road in some places is very much washed up, but I was told that the people along the way with the cooperation of the town of Chappells purpose to fix this section of road very soon. The road from Mr. Henry Fellers' place all the way to Chappells is among the best roads in the county. A few holes should be repaired and two or three little drain bridges are broken in and need to be rebuilt, but as roads go in this county it is a pretty good road. Of course too narrow as all the roads are. And from Mr. Fellers down to Zion church the road is fairly good. ? ?? t? 4 T) While at (Jhappens ivir. a. r. Coleman showed me a letter which he had just received from P. C. Harris, acting adjutant general, dated at Washington, September 2, inquiring for the address of Lieutenant William Osce Coleman, and stating that the French authorities were inquiring for his address, that they were informed that he had sailed for the States, and that they desired to forward him a decoration which he had won. Lieutenant Coleman is a son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Coleman of Chappells, and it will be remembered ^that he won the cross of honor, rinorro snmp time last vear. UlUiA Ub w ? and that he also lost one of his hands in battle. As stated some time ago- in The Herald and News, Lieutenant Coleman is with Gen. Pershing and is now on his way home with the general's party. Lieutenant Coleman \Vill probably be home in a short time. As I always do when I go to Chappells, I dropped in to shake hands with my friend, Mr. J. R. Irvin. He is one of those Confederate veterans who remains young because of his good nature and pleasant disposition. He resigned as postmaster at Chappells some few years ago but continiioa trk His^hartre the duties of the of fice. He is looking remarkably well and says he enjoys the best of health May he live many more decades. The business firms in the town of Chappells have changed very much in the past few years. Mr. Geo. T. Reid one of the land marks passed this last year during the influenza, and Mr. Will Reid has come to Newberry to live, and so about the only ones left up there of the old guard are Mr. Irvin, Dr. W J. Holloway and his sons, and maybe one or two more. Some day before long I am going to stop longer'and give |ome time to getting up the names of the firms jf the town. This is a good business place. The new ginnery under the iirection of Mr. Strother is in operation and the cotton was coming in. The bank is flourishing and all the nerchants seemed to be doing a fine business. Like other towns it needs he building of some roads leading o the place so that the people might he more easily reach the town. But Chappells of today is not the " " i-V- J _ 1 J J jnappeiis 01 tne gouu uiu 0 I found the old folks at home by ;hemselves, and the mill engine was >teamed up, and the planer was in >peration. The sound of the whistle md the buzz of the planer carried ne back to other days when I had a )art in making the wheels at the old nill go round and round. Many a lay and many a night have I had a ?art in keeping the wheels going, and t brought back pleasant memories of ;he long ago to hear the saw and the duzz of the planer and the sound of ;he old steam whistle, and I have no ioubt now that this old mill and the machinery that are attached thereto md the continuous running of them las had much to do with the length Df years and the good health svith which the two good old people at home have been blessed. The mill does not grind any more, but just now and then the planer or the saw mill is run, and it is a reminder that orfce upon a time there were busy scenes around the old mill. If all the meal and the flour that have come out from this old mill could be gathered at one time it would feed Pershing's army for a season. But the people do not grow wheat in this section as they once did. And as they should do even now with the high price of cotton, because there is also a high price of flour and meal. At one time I thought I might re-, main over in Chappelis for the meeting at the school house in the interest of the <. >tion association, but some of the Ch;> n:r<r. people did no': seem to know aooit it, and others" GLOB t r\ _ i two uo ' I ' MEN'S AND BOYS' tj Beautiful fall paterns (to : One lot Boys' Blue S all made of best matei 6 3-8 to 7.

A Card From Dr. John B. Setzler. Some time ago when we printed a couple of very inI eresting letters from ^Dr. John I. Setzler who is still over eas and in German territory we undled up a number of copies of 'he Herald and News including those nnfoinmr an Hermit of commence | MA* V? WW ?.w rient in which we knew he would have n interest and mailed them to him. The other day we received a card rom him which we are printing so hat his many friends in Newberry nay hear from him and know that e is enjoying life over seas. He says: Today's mail brought me ten, isues of The Herlad and News, and at he present time I am having a reguar feast even though some of the isues date back in May. They are not Id to me. It is well that my work is ight now or some of it might be nc^iecred for awhile. Condition of affairs in Germany as quieted down considerably ecently and the indications are hat she is going to take on new lease f life. The harvests, especially in his section, are good, anS the people eem to have accepted the inevitable, nd have gone to work in earnest. Many thanks for your kind favor, nd kindest regards to the force. John B. Setzler, Captain M C U S Crossen, Germany.
