Mr. B. Harris was the only other representative from this state at the conference. Mr. Keitt in taking to a representative of The Herald and News in reference to the conference said it was called for the purpose of arousing interest in the Ladd bill now before congress. The Ladd bill, Mr. Keitt says, proposes to get back to the conc-Ht-ntinn of the United States and to ! require congress to enact monetary laws in accordance with the constitution. Mr. Keitt says that "congress j has turned over all financial power ; of the government to the money trust. And the deflation which occurred in August, 1320, and which we still feel was directed by the money trust. It has absolute power to bring on a panic at any time it chooses and to ae" nil J -11 4-1, ? I stroy tne value 01 an iaDor aiiu <iu wc , s commodities of the entire country. j ""T?IS*T5dd bill proposes an honest \ monetary system which will deal with j the people upon the principle of! 'Equal rights to all and special privileges to none.' It proposes that congress alone shall issue the circulating medium of this country and there-'by dispossess the money trust of the ; power of expanding and contracting j the currency at will and utilizing this power to destroy the value of all la- j bor and commodities and absorb the j wealth of the country for its own pri-: vate gain. It proposes that the gov- \ I eminent shall loan to the people the i money issued by the government at 1 a rate of interest not exceeding four! per cent. "The conference," Mr. Keitt says, "launched a non-partisan organization, The National Honest Money as sociation, with T. Cushing Daniel of j "Washington as president. Mr. Cush- i ing Daniel was in Newberry some time ! ! Qf*o ortn ic nnp nf flip hip-o-pst and most ik "6V ??? *- --OCT m unselfish men in this country and no i j better man could have been chosen to ! head this movement." Mr. Keitt says that Mr. Daniel is j to be in this state some time now very soon and he is expected to come to Newberry and some other places to address the people. The movement at the beginning is one of education and to inform the people just what the situation is as to the monetary condik tions in this country, i" In addition to the president an executive committee was appointed of which Mr. Keitt is a member and among: other members are tne ionow- | ing: Mr. McArthur of North Dakota, j Dr. Alexander of North Carolina, W. | H. Harvey of Arkansas, James Fulton of Pennsylvania, Charles Edward Russell of Washington, Mrs. Henry Hulst of Michigan. The plan is to organize a branch j association in each county in each state in the United States. ? j W' v V V V VVVVVVVVV v v v | ?> <$ <$> HOME DEMONSTRATION <?! <e> !

Not only will all the stores be closed, but the mills will be closed also as each of them closed Thursday and will not open until Tuesday. All offices, grocery stores and meat markets. in fact almost every business in stitution will be closed. It is needless to say that all the barber shops : will be closed, also, so all those desiri ing to "get cut from behind bushes" i for Christmas had better get trimmed j up Friday or Saturday. It might be ! said, however, that the drug store3 ; will observe Sunday hours in order I to take care of any cases of "over; eating" on Sunday. The garages will j also observe Sunday hours. Citizens Urrjed to Cooperate j Now that all tho merchants have j agreed to clcse their places to give } their employees and clerks a holiday, j it is up to the citizens to cooperate j with them in making provisions in ! advance so the closing on Monday j will not inconvenience them any. Evi cry one should buy what will ,be needI c! cn Friday and Saturday, and in cases where exchanges want to be j made this should be held over until -Tuesday. 8y doing this no one wiH*" '*Ko nnf fn nnv in<*nnv<?Tiienee and we can all enjoy a real Christmas holi; day. We can well afford to forget all ( abcut 'business for one day and give ' praise unto the Lord on this grand oc! casion. Spccial Church Services On Christmas day, Sunday, practically every church in the city will have special cervices of praise and every citizen is urged to attend some ! church on this day. in most cases tne j choirs will render special musical ! picgiams. The night services, how! ever, will revolve into a union service ! at the Methodist church where all the ! choirs cf the city will render a spe cial Cristmas cantata.
