SUBSCRIBE THE STOCK.
The Herald and News today car
ries an advertisement from Mr. H. O
Long as president of the Xewberr
Cotton Holding corporation caliir.j
attention to the crisis which at thi:
time confronts the cotton producer
This corporation has been organize!
?i a:?T??
lor tne immediate <tuu uncut unic
fit of the cotton producer, and wha
benefits him will benefit every in
terest in this section, and it shoul<
take no argument to demonstrate t
the people of Newberry county th
. importance of subscribing immediate
ly the amount that is desired to per
feet this organization.
Unless the producer does do some
thing in his own behalf there will b
? financial crisis in this country be
fore many moons. Now is the tini
to act, and, as Mr. Long points out
only a small portion of the mone
invested in oil and other stocks b;
the people ~f Newberry would as
sure the amount that is needed t
complete +his organization and plac
it where it could be a power at th:
time. And we would not be undei
stood as saying anything against th
investments in oil stocks because w
do not know anything about then:
and some of them are "no doubt goo
investments, but the people who hav
put money in these stocks could ver
easily and should readily come to th
aid of this corporation, because if th
present crop of cotton has to be sol.
at .prevailing prices the country wi"
go bankrupt sure enough. It will nc
be a make believe but it will be ;
* real fact.

county to canvass for the balance o

tress cotton that may be offered fo
sale of necessity, and this will b
held by the corporation. But in 01
der to do this it is necessary to hav
* the money. It is desired just now t
raise $100,000 and that should b
.easy enough, ^and we believe that f
i will be done before the end of th
week. Mr. Oscar Long will make .
thorough canvas of each township i
the county and will draft two me
or more from each township to as
sist him in the work. He started ou
Monday and hopes to complete th
work by the end of the week. Th
company has already been organize
and has purchased the Farmers ware
house at Newberry and will desir
to build other warehouses in dii
ferent sections of .the county. An
then it will take some capital tc pui
chase and hold the distress cotton.
The organization should be a goo
investment for money, and at th
same time be a great help to get fc
the producer a living price for h
cotton. The shares have been mad

one bale of cotton cculd take at leas

AS TO ROADS.
We- heard iust a little of the con
ference between the county commis
sioners and the representatives o
the state highway department on Sat
nrday. As we understood the p?*op.c
sition it is to build the link from Lit
tie Mountain to the Lexington lin?
and that the funds mentioned are tbe
the part furnished by the high
'way department and just where th\
funds to be furnished by the count}
are to come from we do not know
hut iust sn thpv rnmp and the roat
< is built is the main thing.
It is proposed to relocate thi
road from Little Mountain to ;
point at Ballentine and to cross th'
railroad at this place on an over
head bridge so that ail grade- cross

proper move. And the big hills be
tween Little Mountain and Chaph
are also to be eliminated by the relocation.
And as soon as this roat
is ready it will be taken over ar.<
maintained by the state.
The road from Prosperity all th<
way to Kinards is in very good con
dition and most of it the proper wi lt]
and with some grading it seems to u:
. could meet the requirements, am

Misses Louise Gibert and Mar*i<

to have a call from these yor.n;
ladies on Saturday. The two fror

we expcet to make him a visit before

for the kind invitation to visit the'

SOAD WORK IN NEWBERRY
COUNTY TO BEGIN AT OI.CZ
Representatives of State High vry
Commission and County Beard of
Commissioners Agree to Take
Up Work.
Mr. R. T. Brown, chief of ru>
* T
veys and pJans ana ;ur. ju. r.i.
Weiseges of the state highway d~lartment
met with the supervisor
and county commissioners on Sa'.uv'ay
to talk over the road situation
n Newberry county.
Mr. Brown stated that the fv.nc'c
low available for use in Newberry
.ounty amount approximately to:
Federal aid $50,00)
Automobile license 8,00)
Two mills tax 16,00)
Total $74,50 )
It was decided that with these
.'unds the county would undertv.ks
,wo projects.
First, build the two miles of .roan
between Little Mountain and the I.c::ngton
line. Lexington county has
igreed to build her part of the P'ednont
highway and Richland is prepared
to put her section in condition.
It is expected that some ar-angements
will be made to get lh:wo
miles that are in the incorI
-iorate limits of Little Mountain put
n condition. When this work is
j -ompleted which shfculd be very sjc i
! he state highway commission will
ake over this road from Prosperity
o Columbia and maintain it in first
lass condition and the county will
lave no more expense on the read.
rt wouid take very little work ccm)aratively
speaking to put the entire
oad from Prosperity to the Laurer.n
line in good condition, certainly as
?ood as part of the new road from
Prosperity to Little Mountain, and
? lilra fi\ r.on tlio vnnfi from
V U WUUIU JL JL ovy OV.W w? w ? v?v.
the Lexington line to the LaurSns
'ine turned over to the state highway
commission for maintenance.
Second, the 6ounty will build the
eight miles )f road to the Saluda
river by Deadfall. Supervisor Sample
?ays he will complete this road before
his term expires in January.
.A start must be made and The
Herald and News is pleased that
something i? going to take piace at
once. We would like to see the Pied-!
mont completed to Kinards so that
th" commission could take it over
L naintenance and then we would j
like to see the road to Whit-mire put '
? 1 l
in condition for acccptance ana re;u- j
!y it is the most important of all because
it is really in the worst condi-1
tion of any of the proposed roads, j
but as soon as we get some of them j
off hands it will save further expense i
by the county.

"The Jack-Knife Man." j
Reviews from the leading New
York newspapers have the following
icm?i-xu.nuptm.r-- n iiKjan?oia MI I ? i
r ' r
j to say: c
j "The Jack-Knife Man," the cur- t
tent screen attraction at the Strand (
'theatre, is one of those four or five t
! pictures which wnl <ro down in film | i
[history as the best of this year's js
pvnn . |
Iv*vr*
The outstanding feature of the pie- ture
is the portrayal of the river
tramp by Fred Turner. For the equal
of this Weather beaten nomad, one
. an not help but compare his work I
j to that of Frank Bacon in "Light- 1
nin'" or Harry Beresford's recent]2
impersonation in "Shavings." . . . They
have said for many weeks of 1
the new King Vidor production, "Thp ^
Jack-Knife Man," which opened yes|
terday for a week's run at the
Strand theater, that it would be one
of the most talked of pictures, from *
the human standpoint, seen in New
York for a long time. That is true. *
The young producer-director has ^

taken tllG SlUty uy uuw jl ?wlvi .
ler, "Pigs is Pig?.," and with the aid Iv
of Mr. Butler har. made of it a win- (

The "Jack-Knife Man" will be ;
shown at the opera house Tuesday. 1

"The Walk-Offs." '
The beautiful May Allison in "The <
Walk-Offs," a comedy in satirical (
mood of New York society, will be !
the feature attraction at the opera ?
' > tl,? |
house beginning inursuay. iiiu wiu- duction
has been made by Scree::- i
Classics, Inc., from the big Broadway
stage success by Frederic and '
Fanny Hatton, which was produced
by Oliver Morosco.
The action of the play takes place '
in and about the homes of wealthy <
society leaders in New York city and
in the studios of those who are more <
interested in art for the sake of diversion
than for itself. A magnifii
cent divorce court scene with its set
ting and action carried through- ir.
satirical vein is one of the earlier and
most amusing scenes of the produc!
tion.
J The play is said to give May Allij
son a chance to appear to the greatest
advantage. In the character of
Kathleen Rutherford, a young society
woman, she is sought by a
wealthy bounder of society and s
young Kentucky mine owner. She
| understands the one but does not love
him; the other is from a world that
is strange to her and the romance
that results is tense and absorbing.

The Modem Dance.
By the Rev. James Russell.
Southern Christian Advocate.
When in the Argvle hotel, Charles-'
i
on, 1 met up with a sailor who had j
risited seme of our foreign ports. Hi.- | 1
;old me he had taken part in the j
word dance and in other square;
lances while in Scotland. He said j
ie enjoyed them much. I asked him |
,vhat he had to say regarding the j
jresent up to date dance of the j
--H- Tr_ ?: J J.l.~ i
souin. ne-saiu mu tw^u
iear naked for him to enjoy it.
Dressed with no sleeves, no shoui Ict
Dands to keep the garments up, so
:he front part of the body is fully i
jxposed; the skirts are short, the
lose transparent, with low quarter
slippers. It seems the women of the
present age have gone as far as the
police courts will allow.
If one would see the fruits of thir:
kind of thing, visit the death bed.
?oung says: "Men may live fcols.
but fools they shall not die." I stood
by one of these society women as she
:ried out, "This is hell upon earth.
With all those who are concerned
about this, and desire to know the
results of this, read Isaiah 3:16-23.
Women, turn?why will you die?
God, your Maker, asks you, Why?

."Profiteering.
Associate Fformed Presbyterian.
There are professed Christians
who are gpilty of the rankest kino
of hypocrisy when they use the fourth
petition of the Lord's prayer. We are
not taught to ask for bread as though
it made no difference where it came
"?-e - - . . . ,
from, nor for bread that oeiongs tc
another, but for that which we may
claim as ours, that is which we have
acquired as the result of our labor
and honesty. We say, "Give us out
daily bread." In these days wher
many are suddenly acquiring wealt] i
by spec-uijjg^n and "profiteering,' j
there is much bread berng eaten b;
Ihose to wTfom it does not honestly j
belong. It , is a day of trickery anc j
exhorbitantf profits. It can not be j
denied that-:there is too much, of this
:n the business life of today. Sue!
practices are not only inconsisten'
with the sincere use of the Lord'; i
prayer, but they are violations 01
the eighth commandment, which forbids
whatsoever doth, or may, unjustly
hinder our own or our neighbor's
wealth or outward estate.
Whenever we dishonestly, or by ex
horbitant profits, acquire what be-' .
longs to another, we are to that ex- j
Lent hindering his wealth or outward
estate, we are violating the eighth j
rinrl v.-t. linV'A rtO hllSl- i
anu .. N- .~
ness with the Lord's prayer. We (
oolitely call it "profiteering," bur it j
s nothing short of stealing. A fear- r
ful reckoning awajts many of those i
who are prominent in business life in (
this generation. ^
