gpje JtraU and Jem Sitarti at tk? PoitoSco at New*"wrj, 3. C.? u 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, April IS, 1922. When our congressional delegation somersaulted on the bonus bill we would have bet on "Bill" Stevenson j being on deck "whence all but him had fled." You can never tell about politicians. Evidently they consider the "Legion" whip a cat-o'-nine tails, j ?Calhoun Times. Our recollection of the record is that there was no somersaulting on the part of Fred Dominick, the congressman from the third district, but that he stood alone in his vote on the v^mic! 'Kin ariH t.bat. the r?ar>ers rather UVliUO M*.v* ...... _ ^ ^ featured the fact that he was the on- \ ly member of congress from South Carolina who voted against the bon- j us, and that he never changed his vote. Keep the record straight when you begin to talk about somersaulting. Speaking of several requests for an opinion on the different angles of the; government undertaking to stabilize crops and prices and so on the Calhoun Times concludes with this paragraph. , I "To avoid any misunderstanding- it, may be said that the government should let it alone. It is bad enough' in war but worse in peace. The only right way to fight this panic is to go to work, cut down expenses and get honest again." j You have got that just right, doctor. Keep on preaching that gospel and after awhile may be the people "" * - Alwovs whpn the' Will DC tt'uie cu see. a * * . c v, w .... panic comes is the time when so many of us go to lookirfg to organizations and to legislation for relief. If times were to get better at once then we ( would forget all about that organization and the legislation we were cla-' moring for. Good hard work and the good old time honesty and every man attending to his own business and Dermitting others to do likewise is a mighty fine prescription, and the thing is to get the people to take the k medicine. We all need a good dose and then we need to quit this ever-' lasting whining and complaining and expecting some one to come and help us. Work is a fine panacea for a great many ills. LIBERTY HILL (CHURCH MUST BE IN NEWBERRY i ?. * , Editor of The Herald and News: I note in your editorial letters you are discussing the site of old Liberty Hill Lutheran church. As far back as I can remember I went with my mother to that church when I was only a child. My mother was raised in that community. The old church was located on the Newberry side of the old 96 road about 3 miles west of the Young Brick house near the cross ~ n "? 3 ing of the Ninety-six anu i>CVY UC1 I J and Laurens roads. The Ninety Six i road was cut out during the Revolu- j tionary war by Gen. Green who was making a forced march from Ninety Six. When he crossed the Enoree river near where the town of Whitmire is now located, he rested his ar-j army. From that point EmilyGeiger made her perilous horse back ride to the low country with a mes-. r?? r.rppri to General SSgC 11UIU uciiviai v^. ~ Sumter. j I When Newberry and Laurens coun-' ties were made the old Ninety-Six j road was made the line between the two counties from Saluda hiver to Enoree river. Old Liberty Hill church was locat-, ed in Newberry county, its location being on the Newberry side of the road. I was born and raised about four miles east of the old church. I attended that church from my childhood until the church was moved away. Some of the sweetest memories and associations of my life cluster around that old church. My first wife was a member of that church.' Before we were married the recollections of the many horse back rides to A. 4. rx and fro we had together are sweet w me. Her pastor, Rev. J. D. Shirey, performed the ceremony that made us man and wife. In after years she ' joined the Baptist church and was faithful and loyal to her church until her Lord called her to come up ( higher and be with Him. I remember hearing her uncle, Wil-, liam Berley, preach ai Liberty Hill,, also Dr. Smeltzer and Rev. Boinest.' I think the last pastor of the old j church was Rev Bedenbaugh who sue-! ceeded Rev. J. D. Shirey. The principal families that composed the membership of Liberty Hill1 S church were the Risers, Berleys, and ! Houseals, who emigrated from the I Dutch Fork in the long ago. \ After the Civil war old church house had become dilapidated and a new house of worship was erected, 3 I think, in 1866 or '67. < In after years the membership had ( died out and moved away and the 1 church was moved to Jalapa. The graveyard marks the spot where the j old church stood. Loving friends and t relatives meet there every year to \ clean off the graveyard as a token t of love and esteem for those that j sleep there, after which they enjoy a t delightful picnic down in Happy Hoi- < ? - ' 1 11 T 1. low at the spring oi tne oia cnurcn. I attended the Happy Hollow picnic i last year. It was pleasant indeed to t be there and enjoy the hash and pic- ( nic dinner served by the good pepole i of that community. ] The great drawback to that com- } munity is bad roads. I think they i should have more consideration in I \ reference to improved roads. Mr. \ Editor, keep writing for better roads j which are the foundation of a better ^ system of schools. c Jno. W.

C. . | ^ To the Women of Newberry County:'^ Please allow me to call your atten-f ocratic clubs are to meet on the j fourth Saturday of this month for re-! organization and to elect delegates ^ J. ~ 2.1 - A" "*** V? 1 /->Vl Will ' lO tne CUUIIL^ CUIIVCIUIUUC, mubti ?iii be held on the following Monday,! May 1st. Since the average voter ? comes into direct contact with the r management of her party only at the ^ club meetings, it is urg^d that every j woman who has attained her majoritv, or who will become twenty-one . a years of age before the general elec- J ^ tion in November, attend the meeting which will be held in her precinct on j April 22nd. I Of course, it is -taken for granted that each club in electing delegates1 to the county convention will provide for a fair representation of women,' but, since time immemorial, it has S been the custom to select men only, .. this provision may be overlooked un-1 ^ less women are present as a reminder q that they, also, are citizens. Then, i too, the delegation chosen by the J county convention should be composed of both men and women; and a ; woman, as well as a nan, should be: u selected to represent the county on, ^ the state democratic exacutive com-\ ^ mittee. The Democratic narty now j requires that the national executive j committee shall comprise two mem-! ^ bers, a man and a woman, for each j state, Mrs. Julian B. Salley, of Aiken, being our representative. j ^ In conclusion, let me say that the, nineteenth amendment gives the vote alike to the woman who wanted it; c and to the woman who thought she ~ did not want it. Neither has the right1 : 0 to neglect it. It now becomes just | e as much the dutv of every woman in 1 ! C South Carolina to use her ballot for the public welfare as it has for gener-1 ations been the duty of our men to. ^ emnlov the franchise for the best in-) I S terests of the state. Shall we prove j ^ less mindful and worthy of the trust. i c than they?

Harding Must Dip Into President's Own.-Purse to Meet Expenses I By Webster K. Nolan Washington, April 1.?Hous^keep " 1--J ?:n ers througnoui ine'ianu win uc 6i?u to learn, on the theory that misery \ loves eompany, that tne wave of hard d times has forced even the White a House to ramble through the year on b only $323,480. I All householders find it somewhat s difficult these days to make both ends r meet. The servant problem is a sti? c pressing one, and oddly enough, the a grocer, the butcher and the baker re- o quire to be paid. In many instances r servants have been dispensed with t and economy instituted in more ways e than one. c A great deal more than the sum al- t lowed is expended in the uokeep of the White House, most of it coming t from the president's private purse. I These, however, are not office expen- c ditures and, though often necessary, a have to be borne by the chief execu- "] tive. For instance, H. R. 9981, an s act making appropriations for the ex- c ecutive and for sundry independent 1 executive bureaus, traveling expens- c ? ~ ^ A ontorta irtmpnt PYDPT1S- + t;5>, dllU Ulln-iai V.1IW.

Out of this also must be t i said the expense of such elaborate entertainments as the diplomatic, ju-1 iicial, congressional and cabinet dinlers and receptions. The president's salary is $75,000 a /ear. How much of that remains inact after the chief executive winds jp an expensive year is a moot ques;ion. In striking contrast to the resident's salary, and contained in he same bill, is an item bestowing ?12,000 a year to the vice president. For ordinary care, repair and refurnishing: of the executive mansion j ;o be expended by contract and otherwise, as the president may deternine, is allotted the sum of $50,000. ?uel for the mansion and greenlouses is placed at $12,000. Care i md maintenance of the greenhouses vill eat up $9,000?a sum in excess >y several thousands of the average American middle-class income? vile repair to the greenhouses will re}uire $3,000 .

Greenhouses Are Large Greenhouses in the White House pounds are not modest ivy-colored iummer house, with a few pots and )lants hither and yon, but rather /preentious horticultural palaces which ,dd greatly to the tastiness of the nansion and set it off with more or ess artisuc grace. An iron fence must soon bz built in he mansion grounds between the nansion and the south lawn area, onstruction of - which is to cost 14,000. For the improvement and naintenance of the grounds generally SI0,000 will be appropriated. For ighting the executive mansion,} ^?i ?J: I ;rounds and greennouses, intiuumg ,11 necessary expenses of installaion, maintenance and repair, the bill alls for the appropriation of $8,600. In the matter of contingent expenses of the executive office, includng stationery, record books, tele- j ;rams, books for library, furniture ,nd carpets for offices, automobiles, xpenses of garages, including labor, pecial services and miscellaneous terns, to be expended in the discreion of the president, the sum of $36,00 has been found necessary. ? - - "? *>i nnn Printing costs ^t,uuu The single item of printing and >inding calls for $4,000.

StephenS. Wise, Free Syna-1 gogue, New York City. i gogue, New York City, in The Universalist Leader. Though history will do justice to Voodrow Wilson, it is well that w: i eal with him now while we may keep live his memorable spirit. America reeds different types of greatness. [ t is enormously important for our- j elves, and above all for our youth, | ightly to appraise Our great. We an not afford to neglect our great ny more than we can afford to cannize our least. To praise Wilson is tot to disparage Roosevelt any more han to disparage Lincoln. The Amrican Pantheon is wide and spaious and its occupants are comparaively few. It may not be fair to say of Wilson hat he bore heavier burdens, world lurdens, than did Lincoln, for none ould be heavier than were Lincoln's, 1 1- - 1 4-U^vm nlnnn oc Wilson did. mu lit: uurc uiciu aiuuv cw ?? This may be said of Lincoln and Wil-1 on alike: Each was equal to the great ccasion that summoned; each worthiy represented America in time of risis at America's highest. Lincoln rue to the heart of America, was, md, had he lived, would have remain d magnanimous to the erring sons of h enation. Wilson was and willed o be no less magnanimous to the errng and rebellious nations of earth. The easier thing would have been to )hate al>out retribution and venreance. And for a time the nation vould havt yielded to the lure of the ower call. Instead of that, this faher of his country called upon Am crica to be equal to the most difficult J of all tasks. Rather he dared to ask j Ampripa +n sfsnrl nnfl inrhinH V UDOn I the highest level. J That was the head and front of his ' y offending. It will always bj account-j ed to America's honor that it would j have remained equal to the summons ^ of the great leader to the very end j had it not ben for a campaign of nr.s-j representation and empoisonment j which for a time availed to becloud i the mind of America. ! * Some day the story will be written ^ and men will be able to weigh and ^ free to choose. It seems a sordid, ^ gleamless tale, the tragedy of the ^ highest ends of life sacrificed at the ^ behest of partisan prejudice and per- p, TVio cfnir?lr him aunai malignly. IIIV down, thinking they would destroy, him forever. In truth for a time they shattered some of the pillars of the world's Temple of Peace, but they .

What shall be said of * those who kept us out of the peace 1 and in truth have kept peace far from n the ways of the world? Today we J face every responsibility and yet fail n to exert the authority that is right- A fully our own. Never was the unique o opportunity so frivolously cast away. P This, the achievement of such as lim- rr fhoir horizon with the hope for the ^ outcome of an election. The Wash- cl ington conference is only the second le step in the great and solemn referen- oj dum for which h asked. But oh, the' pity of the confusion that obtains! i Washington, Cannes, Genoa, Geneva ?everything short of a genuine and IW generous concert of the liberated E peoples of earth such as Wilson plan-j ned and all but made inevitable. S( The great, the supremely great ser- tl vice of Woodrow Wilson to the na- A tions was rendered as the interpreter ci of American idealism. First he form- m ed the mind of America, first he shap- d; ed America's soul, then he dared to ti utter that soul ajt.its highest.. He be- st lieved in America; he appealed to his countrymen at their noblest. It is li true, as has been urged against him ir by one of the leading organs of pub- st lie opinion, that he overrated the cap- fi acity of the people for sustained vis- k< ion and purpose."
