NEWBERRY AND EDGEFIELD
SHOULD HAVE RAILROAD
Dear Ivlr. Aull: Enclosed find
some rambling notes about Saluda.
While Saluda county was taken from
the territory of Edgefield yet seme
of her beit citizens arc clcscly connected
to Newberry by the tier, cf
marriage and consanguinity. ?n?
Saluda river divides the so l but full
| many a Hushing bride hns crossed
j some ferry or bridge over this w'llov.-y
banked stream fro.11 Newberry
I and vice versa.
' On my maternal grandmother's
side a great uncle cf mine, Mar maduke
Ccates, deeded the public
square of Newberry to the then new
county for a county seat, and my internal
grandfather, James Smyley,
was closely related to -he Cald-.veils
and Calhour.s, indeed as a penni
\ less lad in his teens he was making
his way on foot to Newberry
from Colleton coun'y. when he shopped
at a carriage factory located at
or about Saluda ccu^t he-re cv Ked
Bank. Eeirg of a mechanical turn
of mind he apprenticed himself to
the proprietor of tlrs factory where
he worked for five jears, ard learned
to be an expert carriage and
wagon maker. After finishing his
course of painting and upholstering
in Columbia he settled at Meefirg
Street and married Miss Grace

try and a happy combination of enterprises,
amassed a fortune.
So I am sure Newberry? also
feels great pride in Saluda's growth,
Vas her people are of the same flesh
and blood, too. ^
We must all work together until
we get a railroad from Edgefield via
Meeting Street and Saluda on to

In sad r.r.d I * r^ce cf
my dear brother, Jesse Fu'nier, who
departed this life one year ;:~d today,
December 27, 1319.
"One sad year with* all its changes,
Since death so strangely made us
part;
But, my brother, all these changes
Cannot take you from my heart.
\
No one but the Saviour
Knows how hard it was to part,
Bat the memory of my love
Still is fresh within my heart.
"In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one I love so dearly,
In his lonely, silent grave.
"Dearest brother, thou hast left us,
- And thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hast bereft us.

There may be no further call for
le people at large to subscribe to
uge bond issues, but the governlent
needs the daily and weekly
ams which come in from the sale
? Thrift and War Savings Stamps
)r taxes must be kept down. The
anger of loss has deterred some peo!e
from getting as many stamps as
ley might otherwise buy. Hence the
? ?m-tAcfiAn om
rOGiem Will l/c a jluluis i^ubdwvu wa
ell as a present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
leet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certifiite
may be registered with the
reasury Department. Registration
leans-that the owner's name and the
umber of his security have been
registered" by the government, and
lat nobody but himself can posbly
get the money which the bond
r stamp certificate calls for. Cerficates
may be registered through
le nearest postoffice; bonds through
le nearest bank.
And the second method for safe- '
uarding has been provided by the
anks themselves. Every bank?r,aonal
bank or savings bank?and ev-'
ry trust company has, of course,
tnple and secure caults. For the man !1
ho docs not feel that he can afTord j'
> rent a safe deposit box to keep \
iberty Bonds and War Savings
tamps in, many of the banks and
*ust companies have announced their '
illingness to keep these securities
>r him in their oT.vn vaults.

Man Who Suddenly Found Himself
Without Roof Over Head Was Abie
to Euy Property.
This tn:e story tells how War Savings
Stamps built a sure protection
around one V^ashington war worker
and his family.
Early, in the war sarin ~s campaign
he tc<ran a snail systematic investment
in Thrift :n.-, which ultii'.lately
f;ro v unl!i he i:ad an investment
of ?100. He savs he acquived

' is ic . 'Ay felt the burden of the wart?:ve
: i:i cod of livin/. a; d ; ::e an:ciety
and e:;ponre cf extraordinary illness
of the two children. Then another
blow fell. He awohe one morning
to find that he had no place to
live.
His residence had been sold and
he and his family were asked to va
cate. He could find no houses for
rent within his means, and was confronted
with the necessity of leaving
the city or buying a home for his
family. He could not buy without
mailing a substantial initial payment,
and ready funds were seemingly
beyond reach.
Then he thought of his War Sav
? U/V tKflW
ings OUillipa. JL1C ICUiCillUbXbU w UVJ
were redeemable on ten days' notice,
with accrued interest. With the proceeds
of these stamps and such small
sums as he could gather he made
first payment on a new home in the
suburbs.
Recently he refused to sell it for
$1,200 more than the purchase price.
This man is a War Savings Stamp
enthusiast?and he is on the straight
road to financial independence.
Start your mind going along saving
iines and then watch it travel. Buy

Government officials at Washington
are watching with no little interest
the growth of a series of societies j
springing up all over the TJnited
States. They have already attained a
membership that reaches well up into
the millions.
Treasury department officials are

formed the names of the president

are placed in the treasury department
archives.
These societies are TVar Savings i
Societies, and the motive cf each so- j
ciety is Thrift. The government, in ;
favoring these organizations, has not ! (
only in view the replenishing of the !
United States treasury through the \
sale of Thrift and War Savings j
Stamps, but the big idea is to cause j
each individual member to learn the !

value to himself of being thrifty.
The government is not seexing to !

In appreciation of their,voluntarily
dcrtnhon work. Director Briddock
has written p. letter to e~?h worker,,
'< commei'-.'I^t'dn.'-which reads in part:
"Thrift is primarily tne people s concern.
If thrift is to become a^-pe/manent
national asset. the people's agencies
and organizations must definitely
assume their share of responsibility
for inculcating thrift by including it
in their program for action. Schools,,
churches, business and labor organiza* *
Hons fraternal societies and women's
organizations, as well as agricultural
workers-and agenc'es, are already undertaking
this work and are in close
co-operation with the treasury department."
According to Mr. Braddock's letter,
plans for the creation of savings facilities
in the home are outlined as fol lows:
. ' .
f *
"1. Habit of saving first some part
of income for future needs and ot"
~na?<4in<r nricoiTr for nr#?sent needs.

"2. Home betterment fund, to secure,
for example, running water in-j

for every family.
