TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR HARDING APPEALS TO GRADUATING CLASS ASKS AID OF GRADUATES IN SAVING CIVILIZATION America Can Best Help World by Holding on to Her Own Ideals and Her On Security Washington, June 8.?Declaring that "almost nothing" remains secure today from the attacks of iconoclasts, President Harding appealed to the graduating classes of the nation's universities and colleges in an address here today to dedicate themselves to an unselfish service in the preservation of civilization. "We look to this month's graduat ing classes," said the president speaking at the commencement exercises of the American University to "provide far more than their numerical share for the leaders of the nation in the future not far ahead. Almost nothing remains that we may safely think of as sacred, secure from the attacks of the iconoclasts. It is a time in which men search their soute and assay their convictions, in which they examine the very fundamentals of institutions imrniemorially accepted, in which no tradition may be held immune from the assaults of the skeptic t and doubter." The president said the nation must constantly be on guard against the tendency to tear down established institutions before a plan o* reconstruction had been devised. Foreign relations were also touched on briefly, Mr. Harding asserting that America coul4. fce*t Ije'p mankind if it held fast to its own ideals and its own security. . "I wish," said the president, ' that I corld impress the yoar.j men ana wo.nf*n cattery giftdiiriv, cli-s this yefcr with my own acute conviction regarding the obligation of service which is v placed upon them. They have been favored with the privilege of special equipment and preparation such as is vouchsafed to an all too small proportion of the people. They will not prove themselves worthy of f their peculiar good fortune or of their special responsibility unless they regard it as a trust to be held for the good of the whole community. "You of the next generation of leadership of the coming generation have an open minded willingness to recognize the claim of the dou'bter, * * - A Al the innovator, tne experimenter, me would be constructionist. But while we must give these adventurous ones their full chance, we must sedulously guard against' the spirit of mere cynicism, the disposition to condemn all things as they are because they are not perfect the tendency to tear down before any plan of reconstruction has > been prepared. "Alter an, unsausiaciory as svme earnest people regard the present structure of society and existing human relationships, e reasonably conscious world has ibeen a long time travelling as far on the road toward ideal conditions as it now has reached. History has afforded many illustrations of societies crumbling and going to pieces and the process has invariably been attended with superlative disaster to great masses of humanity. "It is a common place saying that at this time the world stands on the brink of whai looks very much like a precipice. It must not be allowed to take the fatal plunge.

Patienls Carried to Columbia. t Prosperity, June 13.?A terrible accident occurred Sunday afternoon about three o'clock when v. car drivi en by E. T. ?)ennis, coming from Coi lumbia crashed into a post of the : Southern railroad trestle 2 miles bc| low Prosperity. j The Piedmont highway passes under this trestle which has never been i properly opened for traffic. The parity consisted of E. T. Dennis, J. T. Fowler, Mrs. R. J. Hyman, Mrs. Bessie Addison and baiby, who are injured; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Duncan and two children are uninjured. They were going to Cross Hill to spend the day with Mrs. George F. Thompson, | mother of Mrs. Hyman. | The injured were brought to Prosperity and taken to Columbia on the 8:45 Southern train. The State. Mrs. Bessie Addison and baby and James T. Fowler were-brought to Co? lumbia last night fjfom Newberry where they were injured in an automobile accident yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Addison and hei year old baby were taken to the Baptist hospital for treatment, while Mr,. Fowlar was taken to his home at 2$03 Bull street. Both Mrs. Addison anid her baby wefe ' reported as resting wlell at the hospital early this morning and neither was thought to be in a serious condition, although suffering from numerous bruises and cutis. ] ? Merit Win Tell Mr. C. V. Le&ch Of Hapeville, Ga., was in Newebrry Friday, representing W. H. Hutchinson & Son of Chicago. For twenty years he has been travel- j ing for that firm, and the house is seventv vears old. A house that can stay in business^ZO- years and a man that "sticks" to it as Mr. Leach has for 20 years is well worth mentioning. And a firm which will ibuy continuously for eighteen years from the same man and house shows conclu-1 sively that what is thus bought is of the very best quality. Mr. C. F. Templeton is the man who has been trading with these people for 18 years. He bought of them while conducting his Pepsi-Cola plant in Greenville, and is keeping it up in Newberry; and that was the business on hand while Mr. Leach was in Newberry Friday. W. H. Hutchinson & Son, incorporated, are manufacturers , of sodawater flavors and coloring,; bottle caps and bottlers' supplies, and they sell immense quantities of all.' We were pleased to meet Mr. Leach and to learn of the big house he so well represents. Boft Weevil Newbery county was heavily infested with boll weevil in the fall of '19. ' The winter being extremely mild a large per centage of these weevils survived and are now feeding: or) the young cotton. They delight in .suck- ! ing the tender heart-leaves and their j presence will be indicated by wilted I or dead leaves near the top of the j stalk. One hundred weevils per acre ( is considered heavy infestation for j this time of year. Many farmers re- ; j>ort more than that. Where cotton! ic this heavily infested, if some means j is not employed to combat the pest , there will certainly be a great loss. Now is the time to fight the weevil , and fight him hard. The infested j fields should be gone over carefully 1 ;inrl thp weevils nicked and destroyed. ; Each female weevil will puncture j from 100 to 150 squares and the j young will mature in about 3 weeks, ' hence you will readily see the great | importance of, at once, killing bvery i weevil possible. Some farmers are having the chil riren pick weevils every morning while it is cool. This is the best time to find them as they hide more when the sun gets hot. A very good plan would be to pay the children so much \ * ' apiece for all weevils caught. Of ? ~.U u -r*. ?%-v r> A r\ f Kaj U'AvL' ! VUUIM* W I1VII Linr uiv ?? V* ? . they will not expect pay. Later on we will discuss the poison-, intr of the weevils. |i T. M. Mills, County Agent, j JAMES EVANS ADDY DROWNED ON SUNDAY . Peak, Juno 13?J Evans Addy, son j of Hon. J. B. Addy of Lexington , county, was drowned in a lake near j the depot at-Alston in Fairfield coun-J ty Sunday about 3 o'clock p. m. Evans Addy lived about three miles j from Peak in Lexington county. He,' with four or five other young men,-; came here Sunday afternoon, went' across the river and went in the lake | bathing.

CROMER 5PEAK.5 IN COLUMBIA Newberry Man Makes Eloquent Address?Several Guests of Honor Present The State, 10th. Charles E. Boineau was last ni^rht elected president of the F^vus club at its annual meeting at Ridgewood. The election was held at a business session prior to the anniversary dinof Honropo R Prnmpr nf i Uti, O.V " ???.?? ~ Newberry was the speaker and there were several guests of honor. The meeting marked the first birthday of the club and in celebrating this important event the club several times paid tribute to the efficient guidance of the retiring president, Robert Moorman, Sr., arrt also re-1 membered the prime mover in the organization of the society, Capt. William M. Carter, U. S. A., by sending him a message to his far-away post on the Mexican border. In the midst of the festive occasion | the members also paused to pay a! last tribute of respect to Col. F. W. j Galbraith, Jr., national commander j of the American legion, whose untimely death came as such a distinct shock to the club. They sent a telegram of sympathy to his widow. A strong message, delightfully punctuated with clean cut humor, was the one 'brought to the Focus club by Mr. Cromer. "I like the idea of the Focus club," he said with emphasis. "For our country, united service." He paid tribute to the spir- J it and purpose of the club, and said that as the members had served during the recent conflict, so they must1 serve during peace. He laid special stres^on the need of care for disabled veterans. He gave startling figures of men who served their country well, who arc not getting the attention that is necessary to bring them back to health. He told of the United States' remarkable record duri-ng the 18 months of the war, of the vast amount of money i expended to get the large army mo-; bilized anc? to send more than 2,000,-' 000 men across the sea. He then called attention to the fact thai these { many months have passed since the ! armistice and yet of 25,000 disabled | men, thousands are not being cared 1 for. "It's an infernal shame,'' he' cried out. "It's an infernal shame." j - - . , i _ _ _ . i Dr. Uromer toucneu on a iiuinucn of opportunities for service and in , closing called attention to the fact that the individual must do his part and that there must be cooperation ; of the 'individuals.

The lecture is principally for business men, merchants and clerks, and from reports from other cities, it is one of the most interesting and instructive lectures of its kind ever put j out on the road. * The lecture outfit consists of an advance man, a lecturer, and an operator. Seven large trunks are requir- j ed to transport the equipment of mo- 1 tion picture machines, films, etc. j " W. F. BRENNAN Who Lectures at the Court House ^Wednesday Night at 3:30 on "Getting the IVfost Out of Retailing." The chamber of commerce is to be congratulated for securing this wellknown lecture, as it will be of v; benefit to the merchants and clerks of the city. i "The date has been fixed for Wednesday night, June 22, and will be gi^cn in the new court house at 8:30. There will be no charge lor admission. ! The six reel feature film, "Getting; the Most Out of Retailing," will be presented for the first time in Newberry on Wednesday night, June 22, at 8:80 o'clock in the new court house. In connection with the film, a lecture on retail merchandising will be given. All merchants and sales * -i-- -?:* _ J ,,4. people in me city art- mvneu iu attend. No charge will be made for admission. Mr. W. S. Matthews, secretary *of the chambcr of commerce, has secured the film and merchandising lecture: through the courtesy of the National! Cash Register company of Dayton, Ohio. Mr. W. F. Brennan, expert lecturer of the Dayton company, will thn <np:ikcr Tilt* lecture has been highly commended. Causes for losses and failures in retail business are shown, and their remedy told in the 1 lecture, which has been prepared from the experience of that company in its thirty-six years of dealing with merchants in all parts of the world. A prominent place in the lecture is given to the value of newspaper advertising. Mr. Brennan will tell how tn nrpnarp newsnjIDer CODV, llOW to Se cure best results, and why a merchant should advertise continually. Win: (low display, efficiency of clerks, selling methods, and other topics of interest to merchants will also be discusser. i i Th film tells in a vivid mariner the story f a merchant who is near fail ure. As the film progresses, the reasons for his lack of -success become plain. Poor arrangement of jroods, an unattractive front, ami most of all. ;>ut-of-(iate business methods, all contributed their quota of loss. Finally a change comes in the career of, the merchant. He remodels his store, installs a modern system, does more advertising, and rapidly rises to success. i Infant Roll '.

Referring to the "staggering and unbalanced national budgets of both the conquerors and the vanquished in the late war," he said, the United States was "setting a wretched example for nations of the world," particularly by present military appropriations. The economic situation, Senator Hitchcock said, threatened the maintenance of life for millions of the world's population with consequent damage to the busi- ' ness of the United States. "On account of cotton and copper and corn and wheat and manufactures shipping and other interests we are to be compelled through selfishness to adopt some plan of cooperation with the nations of the world," he said, "I should have liked to have seen the United States under the leadership of Wcodrow Wilson, enter the league of nations. It was not to be. Like Moses of old, Woodrow Wilson made mistakes which cost him success and cost him his leadership. "As Moses of old smote the rock in arrogant assertion of his own power, so Wilson in overconfidence of his own strength as the champion of new ideals charged upon the mountains of prejudice and materialism in his path. He lost the fight and sacrificed himself. "From purely selfish motives we will soon be forced to do very much * the same things we would have done f?%i l/-vPftr wintiuoB i-f xxfo Vinrl pnt.prpd 1. 11/111 1V1 Ujr illVH T VO A JL. T> V l.v*v?
