^VOLUME LVII, NUMBER 44 NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1921. TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR CAPITAL NEWS (By John K Columbia, June 1.?Columbia ought to be a good town for life insurance c agents. Certainly when one walks a V*ie streets he takes his life in his own t hands. Going from home to bus- e iness, or from business to home, one t never knows whether or not he will t Teach his destination. There are j h speed limits for automobiles, provided a by olrdinance and by State Statute, v N but the automobilists seem to think? fc > that is, a good many of them?that v speed limits are enacted to keep up a with at least, and to exceed, if pos- t sible. There are black automobiles h iiere, blue automobiles, green auto- o mobiles, yellow automobiles?and all t the other colors of the rainbow?and a -^possibly some colors that the rainbow f 'Siever thought of. Speeding up and i; 4own Main street or Gervais street, a or any of the other streets?whether t. , main thoroughfares or cross streets? t some of them simply are a stieak on a the landscape?here they come, and t. there they are gone. When the vari- r ^ colored cars follow each other in a $quick succession," it has the effect of c an artificial rainbow made for the s pleasure of those on the sidewalks, but for those crossing the streets it has the appearance of that long- a range German "Bertha" that shelled J t Paris from some seventy-odd miles, g This may sound a little exaggerat- j, ed, but the facts are by no means t " overdrawn. Two recent instances will p serve to illustrate the point. A g^i- v tleihan was crossing Gervais street j] the other night, going across Main i from the opposite side of the city hall n * toward the State House, and when he \\ had got out of the way of the street c cars and the automobiles speeding 0 tvth ways on this busiest corner of t Columbia, an automobile without the ^ sign of a light swung around from q the State House grounds into Ger-^ i| i vais street, at the rate of something ^ | like twenty-five miles an hour, and q nai^rowly missed the man in question. ]y fad it been a woman with some little ^ i,ildren in her care?or even by her- j.] 'self?there is no telling what the g consequences might have been. The ^ people in the automobile slowed up ^ unf O Ion r*>U n fir a iivt a. cut laugucu uic p man got out of the way. It was an-| j Inoying?annoying enough to catch ! { ^eir number and report them. But.j q ,?here is no use now to try to catch j v a number. The State Highway Com- j ^ inision has adopted a pretty red num-; c ber?one of these parlor plush num- j n bers?that are good for nothing but I v >to catch dust. Evidently when they j -j thought of the color th?y had in con- j t saltation an eye specialist,-who figur-; ^ if 1>I V*r\ Tim 11 w iirv ? tu uiai ii/ vrvuiu vt i 111 u p j, numbers to size up one's eyes as well, p and if one could catch a number, even j n with a spy glass, he would be coftipe-; a tent to officiate in any branch of op-1 j tometry. j a On Saturday night a mail car com- j t sing from the Union station up Sumter j p streef?a truck?swerved around an- j c other car just on the Gervais street p crossing, and came near running into ; some people. The mail truck had no i lights, but evidently thought that hu- j ( man life was worth nothing as com- n pared with getting the mail to the c '%post office in haste, even though lights ? Yost very little, and the government $ * tax on two or three coca colas would r have paid for enough light to runj n from the station to the post office, aa distance of less than two miles, and u though without those lights some j s a. lives mi^ht have been lost. Or mav-it Jm-e the driver of the truck v^as late for : y ^ supper, and it didn't matter much to o him if some women and children o should be mangled under the wheels ie of the United States mail. t ? j ? ^ Columbia is paving her streets. A j E ^ood many thousand dollars are beingI v Spent for this purpose. It has been I suggested?and it is a good suggestion ! fc ?that it would be a good investment i: to vuse a little money to pay for some g V. a extra traffic policemen to guard these j\ * greets. And so with the county? s \ and with every other county that has c roads on which automobiles can speed.! c The road from Columbia out toward 1 Camp Jackson, which has been paved, ( ' is a veritable death trap, even as are v irw the paved streets in the City of Co-;t ^jumbia. There is* going to be somelr \ 1 r AND GOSSIP .. Aull.) elief somehow, and the quicker -3 /imps: tV?p hpt.t.pr for the -drivers o utomobiles, who themselves ough o take up the matter. A law that i nforced always originates in the de ermination of the people that a cei ain wrong must cease. Laws tha aven't public sentiment behind ther re not worth the paper they ar written on. We have a prohibitio iw now on the statute books, whic' ras to cure all evils, and Columbi t this very time is in the throes o he heaviest criminal court in he [istory. During the past week fiftj me cases of all grades, from the leas o the most heinous, were disposed oi ,nd there will probably be three o our more weeks of this present crm' rial court even to clear the jail. An s fast as the prisoners are soiit t he chaingang or to the penitentiar heir cells are taken by others wh re charged with various violations o he law. These are facts, not thee ies. What, the cause is, others ma rgue. But the results are on th ourt records here to speak for then1 elves. There was an article in The Heral ,nd News not long since with regar o the caring for Rosemont cemeterj Surely Newberry will not let thi iallowed spot be neglected. Ther he loved ones are?those who hav lassed through the gateway?an /hose mortal remains there restinj ri peace take us back to the days o nnocent childhood, and whose im aortal souls beckon us on to try t ive up to the ideals set by fiim wh ame upon earth to redeem' the sin f man, and who gave his life tha hese s:ns might be redeemed.

The late lamented Mr. John A * .v. ? 4 M chapman, 01 :sewoerry, in rus ai :als of Newberry," says, in speakin: if Rosemont cemetery: "Of quiet, holy Sabbath days i ometimes gives me a calm, though , nelancholy, pleasure to walk an neditate and rest in the Silent Cit djoining our town; to muse ther ipon the brevity of human life.

Cannon. ! , | i ( dj Prof. Stoddard's message was clear ; j r' j and concise and he presented to the j is; minds of these young people truths ( ?, which, if heeded, will be of great , e, value to them as they go out into the 1 ? d ; world. He spoke in behalf of further 1 1 ' ! ' b {education for them, saying that the ^ < f, blessing of an education lies more in ; ^ j service that may be rendered others \ j 01 than in material gains for one's self.! ^ ?jHe stressed the importance of cooper-1 ( s i ation and compromise for the success < tjof any enterprise and illustrated this ^ i-j fact with a humorous story which was . o | very much enjoyed. s| After Prof. Stoddard's address Col. j 0, E.

I am new in the city of London; arc ived here on the 6th from Rotter- , lam. Had a real nice time while in ( Rotterdam. Visited the Hague, saw . ;he King's palace and Ford's peace Dalace, and many interesting places." ^ Took a long: ride in the country. All ^ he fields are pretty and green and j jvery foot of land is under cultiva;ion. Had dinner with a regular old Dutch family. It sure was amusing ( :o see all the fellows in wooden shoes ^ md the pretty little Dutch girls all ircssed in their white aprons with ;heir long golden curls dangling beleath their pretty sun bonnets. As ^ ! have related to you most of the news jf Holland, will now cross to London.. Have only been sight seeing one day.i lere so far, as it has been raining or, either a heavy fog most of the time;! ilthough visited a good many places,' such as the Westminster Abbey, saw! :he King and Queen's palace, and the ( *rave of the unknown dead. Expect ( ? rin mi if o n hit mnrp of sifrht seeing 4 ~ - - . lefore we sail for home. Guess we c # w .vill be sailing about the 14th, so you \ ;an write me at New Orleans, La., S. ( 3. Cody, in care Lykes Bros. Wi II say t jood-bye for now by hoping that you <are well and that I may hear from j ^ ou when I reach the States. Give , h < my love to all. . > Your son, |, iUctCtV. . , "Bibb" and the P. Nuts jj That's not his name, 'out whole lots ' )f people call him "Bibb" for short' < )f Vivian, the "Bibb" being tongue Avisted from "Viv." He says that, whoever sent in the advertisement of: i lis eating peanuts in the opera house ( old what was not so and put him < lown wrong. He assures us that when . * - - 1 u ? le eats peanuts at tne opera nou*t* ne , loes not throw the hulls on the floor 1 ?he puts them back in the bag or in j lis pocket. To that extent L. V. Rus- j ;ell sets a good example for peanut t: iends, which they ought to follow; )ut a better plan would be for Manai ' rer Wells to have some little recep- . acles made and tacked on to the . jacks of the chairs for the accommo- ( ? lation of those who have the mania j for eating peanuts during the show- { ng of the pictures. This would keep ; ;hem from scattering the hulls overt ,he floor, although that is the least )art of the annoyance to a good part 1 >f the audience. Other people go there to hear the' ine music and to see the excellent >ictures generally on, but the enjoynent is marred by the loud cracking ^ )f hulls and the odor of peanuts from ! ;he heated breath of combined mouths . vide open in the rear, at the front or >n the sides, permeating the envelopns: atmosphere, to the disgust of ev- J srybody but the ignorant eater and j lis class. Vivian does another good thing?he j iays he goes up in front to eat, so j is to' be out of reach of the larger ^ Dart of the crowd. # J j If it is not possible to break up the c labit, we suggest that Manager Wells ( o onntoct onrl nffor n nrize for JUl Ull CI VCilCVOw unvt X/.. , * \ :hat person who can eat the fastest ind longest. Harry Campsen, who j ells lots of peanuts?and good ones s it that?could act as official salesman, j We just wanted to set L. V. Russell', ight in this matter, as he has been ( mjuslv put down as one who ears his ">eanuts and gets rid of the hulls like j ;ne common run, whereas the truth is s :e has respect enough for the ladies ? n the audience to try to get out of ^ heir way by going as high up as pos-: < iible when he does eat peanuts at the c >pera house, and he does not throw j r he hulis on the floor, thereby showing r lis respect for the management. If t ;ou can't do any better, at least do j is well as L. V. Russell. j JETTER FROM GREENVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Greenville, S. C., May 26, 1921. vl r. W. S.

[state s. s. convention meets next week Reports received from all over the I state, it is said, point to a record breaking attendance at the Sta^e Sunday school association convention at Winthrop college, Rock Hill, June 8, 0 and 10. It is said that the program is the ; strongest and most attractive in the history of the organization, and with I j the added attractiveness of Winthrop ' college as the place of meeting, the , attendance is expected to go beyond all previous records. j A thorough organization has been (perfected by the convention promotion committee in nearly every coun | ty in the state and hundreds of men j and women are busy working up a large delegation from their resgec-j tive communities. Especial attention is called to the j fact that the special railroad rates of : one and half fare for the round trip are on the certificate plan, conditional upon 350 certificates being presented for signature at the conven-i jtion; consequently everyone coming] i to the convention is urged to get his , l, certificate when he buys his ticket as J ;i hp rannot otherwise get the benefit of I half fare returning.

It was no affair of ours," said a man on the streets of Newberrv Saturday afternoon upon being told of the significance of the little red poppies that were being sold. Those who were present at the last meet.i.g of our post and heard Dr. Cromer's address will remember that he warned us that there would be those among us who would rise up and say that the United States had no business in the world war, and he added that it would be the duty of the members of the American legion to keep fresh in the minds of the people the high ideals that led us into the fight. "The right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts?for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and libertip* nf small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert [ of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free." "To such a task we can dedicate j our lives and our fortunes, everything 1 that we are and everything that we j have, with the pride of those who 1 know that the day has come when | America is privileged to spend her blood and her might ior me principles that gave her birth and happiness, 1 and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do no other." So spake President Wilson ! to congress, April 2, 1917. As we J wear the poppy and bow our heads in memory of the men and women ! who gave up their lives in this cause, ! we do well that we read this message again. Today under the leadership of the American legion wreaths have been placed on the graves of American soldier and sailor dead the world over. It was a tender and loving sentiment | that prompted the members of the j Women's auxiliary to place flowers | Monday afternoon on the graves of j the six world war veterans that lie in I Rosemont cemetery. The following is the list of white men from Newberry county who lost j their lives in the world war, so far as j we have been able to ascertain: Carl Chester Bundrick. William Lester Sample. George Adams Shealy. Joshua Ward Motte Simmons. Jacob Omerle Singley. Arthur Baker. \ Francis E. Boazman. Walter Calvin Brooks. Haskell B. Cromer. Otis L.
