The year now drawing to a close has been one of possibly greater moment than any other in the history of Christian civilization, with the exV oeption of the year the Christ was born; the year of the first Easter, When He rose from the dead, and | ast year, when the Stars and Stripes were unfurled to the breezes beyond the Rhine. For the United States and for Carolina it has been a period of great prosperity, and also of great trials. Throughout the nation, following the war, there have been clashes be ^ween capital and labor; and strikes threatening the industrial life of the country have been frequent. Within 'he State we have been free from ndustrial disturbances of this character, but crime has been rampant, nnd it has been stated that homicides ( *iave averaged something like one rach day. We are now in the cruci Die. Having lost far less in the great world -struggle than any of the other participants, we are yet suffering alnost as much as they in the process >f reconstruction. It is a different kind of reconstruction from thai fo+V10 S/viitli frtllrtwirtw nuiva xuvvu vt?v s/vmv?a ?**? War Between the States, but it is aven more dangerous for the future. ?rom 1865 to 1876 South Carolina and other Southern States suffered from the machinations of misguided fanatics from another section. Then we knew our opponents, and we were mited against them. Today the people are divided among themselves on live issues affecting the future life of the nation. It is peculiarly a time for broad patriotism, and that the v American people will rise fully tc he occasion, we have not the least doul>t. The blood which flowed in he Indian wars, and in the War of "he Revolution, and in the war of 1812, and in the Mexican War, and in the War of the Confederacy and the War of the Union and later in . *he Snanish-American War, and then / which hallowed the lilies of France and made more red-pure the poppies of Flanders, still courses in the veins of the freemen of the Republic, and it is determined that ihose 'who died at the Marne and in the Argonne and at Chateau-Thierry shall not have died in vain. The issues which confront us will be solved, and solved rightly, that ^ freedom may live. So here's wishing all the readres of The Herald, and News a very happj New Year, and that their paths during 1920 may lead in pleasant places. Newberry can be made a bettei town if we will afl come together anc stay together and give Mayor Blease and his council and the other city officials our hearty cooperation in every thing that looks to the upbuilding oi the interests of all the people. Let's grow. Let's carry on the good work oi Mayor Wright's administration, anc keep up with the march of progress which is going to characterize Soutl Carolina during the good year upor which we are about to enter. We need some municipal improve raents, and we peculiarly need those to which Mayor Blease pledged himself during his campaign, and whiclhe has been urging for years past. Let's stand behind him and his council in making these improvements. Cooperation is the prime need o^ Newberry, and with cooperation \vc will make this the best town in the State, as it ought to be, both by inheritance and by natural resources. Form Red Cross Auxiliary. By invitation Dr. Gray Ellesor and Miss Sadie Goggans went out to Trinity Methodist church, colored, on Sunday afternoon, and formed an Auxiliary to the Red Cross. A most ittentive and large audience responded liberally. Mrs. Mary Metts was elected chairman. This is expected to :>e one of the largest auxiliaries in .he county. -^From there Dr. Ellesor apd Miss <Joggans went 10 uommicK rresDyterian church, white to present to the ongregation the future plan of the Newberry Red Cross for their support.

If there is a road in the county '; which needs the split log drag any - worse than Main street in front of Foster Martin's and at other spots 1, we would like to have it called to our 1 | attention.
