A PROTEST AND APPEAL FOR JUSTICE AND RIGH'f Mr. Editor: We are living, or ai least staying, in the town of Newberry, ward live. Our alderman i< Mr, W. H. 'Hardeman and i suppose every reader of The Herald and News knows our mayor, . the Hon. E. S, Blease. I am in ward five and hav: been here for over iwenty-one years I own a little home in this notable town and mv little home is in the ? % % west er.d of ward live. We have fifteen or sixteen mer tax payers and we have been paying taxes for all these many years, and yet we are not recognized as humar beings. I understand our council have received two streets and have piiX up pUblS, LUU, tic C > Ci y *. v> 1 r.er or cross street, and put them on every street received or not received. In fact they have put a few posts outside the town to my knowledge. I asked our alderman what he meant by putting up sign posts outside the town, and it seemed that he was surprised to know they were on the outside. He also wanted to know if we were getting our mail. I asked him if he did not know that our houses were not numbered, and that surprised him again. Now, Mr. Editor and readers, I could tell you a lot of other things that are going on in our little town, but will not at present, but I I will tell you this much, that our notable town is 011 the downward march and unless .things change we are sure to march on downward. Our people are not right. We arc too selfish, ?undermining, high-headed, don't-care for ourselves or our neighbors, every man for himself, and that is the way we are going. We hope that every man that has a duty to perform will think a little and try to do what he is required to do. We ?wna+ oro hanH ,qr>ii heart together, if ^ V v. w , we want to prosper. Now I notsice our mayor is suggesting that we raise $200,000 more to - fix up more streets. And where? In the heart of tovtn. And here we are paying taxes and getting nothing? all white- people and recognized by none, from alderman to mayor. I will promise the town this much, I ' had said I would not vote any more, but if that next drive ever comes up I sure will vote one more time. Also we must hcve a different mayor and we have him .spited now. " - *** --tf i ? ?.:n 1 nope ine omcers 01 our iuwu ww consider a little bit," ana think a little bit for the people and not think all for themselves. I could ss^T more but will be silent for a while and ^ee how ' _ things will go. I wish every one well and hope we will "have better times in the future. Gamma. GRATEFUL FOR INVITATION SORRY COULD NOT ATTEND Col. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. C. \ My Dear Mr. Aull: ^ It may seem a little late, but, however, I have been on the go for the p&st while and have had but little time to write. If you will permit me I want to publicly thank you and your kind old parents for remembering me among your friends with an invitation T >" IfliU to De'preseni on juiy at 65th anniversary of their married life. I had the privilege of being at your father's and mother's home a little mere than a year ago *to celebrate the annual reunion on this occasion, < and I had been looking forward with pleasure and delight to go again. , I had planned to go on the train and had notified you that I would be ? * t* j l. . there. But on the morning: 01 xne 22nd I was feeling somewhat unwell and it began to rain and 1 had to decline, whi.'rt was very much of a disappointment to me. When T think of these dear old parents my mind is filled with thi'e recollections of the past. Yes, how easy it is for me to keep in memory the - - year they were joined together in hcly wedlock. It was in 1856 when the light oi ?the world first shone upon my head, It was in 1856 when that great Christian institution of the Lutherar church, known as Newberry college was founded. It was in 1856 when our last pres ififr.t. Wondrow Wilson?who strug gled through the greatest period ol government possible that Am crier has ever witnessed?was born. It was in 1856 when Jacob Luthei Aull and Julia Ann Haiti wander were made man and wife. And many uthe? -"fhemorable things could be brought to mind that happ*1' ' in 18-36. Snce I have bc~n hindered from at tending this family reunion I desire to ca?t a few. flowers upon these Usui old heads, for 1 may not be here ic place them up.vn their graves. I could not otherwise have anything but a friendly feeling toward Mr. am Mrs. Luther Aull. Vv^en I stop tc think that just a little more than 4( years ago they were among us as oui neighbors, and ground all the breac I I we ate. I woulu not by any means; * j desire that personal absence for alI most fifty years should untwist, as it tj usually J'ie cords of friendship. -jAnd possibly this is one of the rea. sons that 1 want to strengthen my re membrance of them. Mr. Editor. 1 still Lope that some . time in the near future i may be able * to go with you up to that good old . home and have a private talk to the j old folk?, and get some new thoughts -jabout the good old days that are past and gone. i There is no doubt that the main > thing in adding to the long life of 1 usefulne.-s, together with a good con-, i stitution, is that these old people [ have been temperate in all thin?*. ; and have lived up to good hah* And just such lives is a shining exi ample of honest work and Christian: . iove. In evidence to this they have! ; raised a set of useful children which J they have a right to feel proud of. ; St. Paul says that "Whatsoever a i man soweth, that shall he also reap." And he has no right *to expect any-; . thing betrer than what he sows. May God add to their useful lives . many more annual reunions with their , children and friends. And in the end a final reunion where cros'vs and all I earthly disappointment0 are felt no more. .Most sincerely by your friend, i ] ~ T. J. Wilson. I August 1, 1921. mmmil , i ! NEWBERRY CONFERENCE . AND MACEDONIA' Mr. Editor: All the readers of The Herald and News have had a perfect lovefeast of s advertisements for. the past few weeks. I don't think there are very; > many cf the business men in your city' who have failed to tell the people of; ! their piles cf cheap goods they have! j in stores. 1 i Believing that vou will have a lit-' f # '{tie space for a bit of news that is goi ing on in the country I am sitting down to scrap up a few thoughts, hoping it may reach the public before it 'moulds and becomes distaste: fui. But I have started out to say that | 11 had the pleasure of attending-the | Lutheran conference last Friday andj Saturday which met at Macedonia Lutheran church, 11 miles south of Prosperity. This churcli is located in Lexington county, two miles below j the line of Xewberrv and Lexington. | * ? i But it has always been a part of New-1 berry conference. From Prosperity I went with Mr. J. A'. C. Kiblev in his Ford, together ' " ~ ^ i t r~v tt rr: i Willi Kev. s. r. ivoon ana j. u. n. j\inarH; 7he . machine buz-ed along very smoothly and we drove up in due time. I had not been down to old Macedonia foi* the past 30 years. As a matter of fact everything looked so different I could hardly reailze that I had ever been there befoce. The old church building has been torn down) and a most beautiful one has been erected about 20 or 30 yards below where the cM building stood. 1 was told at the noon hour by old Uncle Drayton Epiing that ihe new building had cost tho congregation $5,000 and every dollar had been j paid. This speaks well for Pastor; Long and his Macedonia congrega- [ tion. . ^ 1 shall not try to outline the rota tion business of conference. The sec retary. Rev. L. P. Bc.land, never fails to do this. The officers of conference .{.were all present. And the lay de:ei gates of each church with the exception of two or three were there and i answered to^the roll call. I have missed but very few meet> ings of our Lutheran conference for [ the past 35 years and as well as my memory rerves me I don't think I ev-j . er attended a meeting that all the! clergy members were present before, j . They were all there on Saturday. A most interesting program had > - been arranged which was ably discuss-! . ed by the speakers who had been asi signed to the^ different subjects. The r..n ^ i i meeting was iuii 01 bijn auai nut-rest j J both Frday and Saturday, and we j never have had a better attendance.! Mr. Editor, if you had been there! i ! MICKIE THE PRIN1 -I n> : ?

A great many of the good old people who were there '>0 years ago are now sharing the reality of an unknown vorld to us, but still their works iio follow them, it seemed r'h-.ir I hoil tn cup nIH 1'wle Hiliavd and \\ ilso-n Long, who were two of the pillars of Macedonia when i was there. But still God always leaves a few of the bles-ed old heads to train the young*. These are a few that are left that 1 had the pleasure of meeting: Drayton Epting, John Epting, Jim Epting, Jacob Bailentine, Bennett Fritk, John Derrick, George Dreher, and oid Uncle Billie Derrick of Mt. Olivet. Possibly there were other old heads there whom 1 failed to meet. Ar.d by lit) means would I intentionally. miss calling their names. The service continued, on Sunday but 1 was unable to go back. In short I will say the hospitality of the good people of Macedonia community can not he excelled. The road from Prosperity to the church is pretty rough. The crops are fine, but some report that the T- ? 1 1 ^ * ? " vi U.%TTrt/-. l-.MT K U U11 WCWU 3 pi*lVlllt? uavA/L >v:in tn<-. cotton. T. J. W. PERSHING MAY ATTEND CONVENTION AT NEWBERRY Greenville Piedmont. Major G. Heyward Mahon, Jr., state commander of the American Legion yesterday forwarded an invitation to Gen. John J? Pershing to attend the state convention of the American Legion to be held at Newberry, September 7 and 8. Nearly * i , , i.r . i? iilty jetrers urging me lormer tuinmander-in-chief of the American expeditionary forces to come to South Carolina were sent to Washington, where they will be delivered to the general in person by Congressman John J. McSwain, who will also urge the general to accept. Amoiig those joining in the invitation to General Pershing were a number of the most prominent men in the state, including Governor Cooper. It is hoped that the general will ac cept the invitation, in which case he will probably spend at least a part of one day in Greenville en route to Newberry. Plans for the convention of the South Carolina department of the Legion are going forward rapidly, and the Newberry post, which is to act as hosts with the town of Newberry, promises that the convention will*be the best so far held in point of entertainment for the visiting delegates. John B. Setzler, commander of the Wwherrv uost. accompanied by Hal Kohn, William S. Matthews and Fred F. Scurry, prominent Newberry citizens, came.to Greenville last night to consult with State Commander Mahon and State Adjutant Royden Watkins in regard to the convention program. According to Mr. Setzier, Newberry k planning some very attractive entertainment:-* for the veterans, which will include^tvo dances, a watermelon feast and a barbecue, not to/ mention a baseball game and possibly a play to be given by the post. City officials of Newberry and the chamber of commerce are cooperating heartily with the local post in making pMns for the convention. T-f flr-nnvn j Pnvch in cr thp convention, his address ' will take place on the second day) in the pari; st Newbariy. Each poi:t delegation will be accompanied to the convention by a sponsor elected from members of the Woman's Auxiliary or from the young r.-T -fVtn town in whifh the nost is located, and Mrs. L. W. Floyd, president of the State Auxiliary, will entertain them during the convention. Provision has also been made for a conference of the sponsors on the work of the Woman's Auxiliary. Posts all over the itate report lively interest in the coming convention, and it is expected that each post will send its full quota of delegates. rER's mviL ^ . . p lj AWN TUWAG kOfTtOR pE:( ^ CHESTS GOODS i - | Charleston has already informed state! headquarters that it has rhartered aj special Pullman ear to carry its del-j eirates, and that it v. ill come to the } convention m full strength j 1 ! # I The next time i i you buy calomel j ask for : I * ' j The purih^d cud i'tfiKed calcmei* taLiey.s tbr:t ars nausealess; sale and sure.
