MAGAZINE In the winter issue of the South Carolina Magazine, edited by E, A. Funderburke, Jr., in Columbia, a 700- word promotion article on Newberry was carried with two attractive pic tures, one of the old court house and one of the Good Luck signpost. The article was written by Ted Bremer, ' Chamber of Commerce secretary. During the week preceding Christ mas day the Rev. D. M. Shull and family received two generous pound ings consisting of household necessi ties and good things to eat. Repre sentatives of the Mt. Olivet and Mt. Tabor churches came bringing the ar ticles collected from their respective congregations. This thoughtfulness on the part of the people and the valu able collection of gifts presented made Christmas very real and a happy oc casion for the family. Every article received is useful and very much ap preciated. The Pastor and family heartily thank all who had a share in these poundings, also all who have re membered us with gifts at other sea sons of the year. ’ Tuiz DOCTOR ytMfltt&ty by WE AUGHlNBAUdH ii D INDIANS Buffalo Child Long Lance, my friend for years, was a pure blood Blackfeet Indian from Montana. His people were the last tribe to encounter and make friends with the white man. He attended the Indian school at Carlisle, Penna., and later went to West Point, leaving that fa mous institution to enlist and go over seas, where he distinguished himself for bravery in the World War. As a boy he was carried, a wide- eyed papoose on his mother’s back, went through the ordeal of training to make him a brave, killed game, trekked over the Rockies in winter and summer, attended intertribal con ventions, medicine dances and Indian feasts. He, too, knew the white man and his ways. He inherited the Indian ability to tell stories and to tell them in a man ner which held one spellbound, and he later developed into a literary man of high order and reached the pinnacle of fame as a star in numerous moving pictures depicting the Red Man and his activities, before the white man came and took from them their lands. We lived together at the Explorers Club and I learned to like and appre ciate this fine representative oi a dy ing race. One winter evening we sat together in the club lounge before an open fireplace, watching the burning logs send their eerie sparks up the chim ney. Long Lance turned to me and said: “Do you think a child of four teen months can remember anything which he may see at such an age?” “He must be a very precocious one to do so,” I replied. The Indian continued: “I remember when I was fourteen months old that my mother deliberately cut off her finger with a knife, when she learn ed of the death of her brother, my uncle, Iron Blanket. That was what the women of my- tribe did in those days for mourning for departed mem bers of their immediate family. ‘And I can also recall as a boy of four being placed on a pinto pony and falling off. I lay on my back dazed, and looked up in bewilderment at the spotted belly of the little horse as it stood over me, when my elder brother grabbed me, lifted me again on the back of the animal and hissed into my ear: “Now stay there. If you can not ride a horse at four years of age I’ll put girl’s clothes on you and let you grow up to be a woman.” And from that day to this I never fell from any mount. “I can remember, although but a child, that mystery pervaded every thing and even the old men of our tribe were unable to fathom or pre dict just what our future relations would be with the white man who was slowly surrounding us. I know now that we must fit ourselves for the new scheme of life which the Great Spirit decreed for us.” Poor Buffalo Child Long Lance! He fell desperately in love with an American girl, who refused to marry him pnd he killed himself. Civilization was the cause of his untimely end, I TWO SIDES To EVERY QUESTION By LYTLE HULL DANGER AHEAD! Strength is in union. If the Rocke fellers or the Rothchilds had fought among themselves, we would never have heard of them. If the Civil War had resulted in the disruption of the Union we wouldn’t be the most poten tially powerful nation on earth today. Labor weakens its strength and its cause by factional disunion; lack of cooperation and discord in the ranks of the Republican party is not dis pleasing to the Democrats. The ris ing tide of tariff barriers between our states might eventually spell the de struction of our body politic, if al lowed to grow, just as the continually aggravated friction between capital and labor checks the progress of our body economic. At the present time our country, on its 0 wn ball field, would be invincible to any military foe, but there are worse enemies at large than armies. The Great War loosed some nasty forces in the world and all peoples have been affected. Hate is one of these forces. It is contagious and fast spreading. It has swept the world many times; it is rampant now. Its core, in our day, is in Moscow, and from this core spread the tentacles which in turn broke out into boils and carbunkles in the far distant reaches of the world’s body. Hate so great that it will murder and starve to death millions of people, cannot be isolated. It must expand and seek other victims. The first symptoms of this dread disease have been evident in our coun try for quite a while. They crop out for reasons too subtle to be under stood. The anti^Catholic—whose an tipathy for that religion dates to an historical period which has nothing to do with our century—becomes more critical. The died-in-the wool anti- Semite makes life less happy for the Jews in his neighborhood and re-cre ates in those centuries-old sufferers a defensive attitude which is so often mistaken for an offensive attitude. The constitut.unal baiter of the color ed race loses his temper more readily over the weakness of the people whom our forebears forced to leave their homes and come here. There is more bitterness in politics; between thd so-called classes and between em ployer and employee. All this is un-natural to the Ameri can, and weakening to our strength. The abused love their country just as much as the abusers and are just as essential to its welfare and will fight just as hard for it. But the snakes in our midst must know that BASLE, Switzerland—Some of the 350 women from all parts of Switzerland who were the first to enroll in the Swiss Army Auxiliary shown during drill in Basle recently. They are carrying folded stretchers and wearing ski costumes under regular army overcoats and steel helmets. They will drive ambulances. only by promoting discord and hatred can they weaken our powerful consti tution. Those snakes are the paid agents of foieign “isms” and their rattles are the poor dupes who have fallen for their camouflaged theories. We Americans are probably the most emotional people in the world: that trait has made us great but that trait can also destroy us. Emotion may carry us tomorrow where we wouldn’t dream of going today, and in that journey we may run close to the rocks of dissolution. Our safe guard lies in compact union; our union depends upon a healthy body which has eliminated un-American diseases. No one on earth knows what the European war may develop into, but financial experts are convinced that if it continues for two years it will bring bankruptcy to Europe. Ask the banker in your town what that would mean to the Uni ed States. He will doubtless tell you that it will put a strain on our entire structure which will require every ounce of our united strength to resist. Factional discord, social discord, race discord, religious discord, eco nomic discord, political discord—hav# no place in an army which must stand united against what may prove to be the most dangerous situation that our country has ever faced. It i* the com mon-sense, self-protective, patriotic duty of every one of us to forget senseless antipathies among ourselves and instead to focus our dislikes and energies upon those outside enemies whose business it is to foster discord among us. If we stand together, we can force the deportation 0 f our enemies; the destruction of their press which open ly attacks our rights to be free men; and the imprisonment of their under cover workers who are trying to turn our great country into the same sor did institution of slavery which they attempt 'to dignify by the; name “Rus sian Socialism.” If we must be emo tional, let’s blow up against our ene mies—not in the family. EAGLES ANNUAL NEW YEAR DANCE One of the delightful events to start the New Year was the Eagles Club dance given at the Legion hall Monday night. According to the president, Dick Mims, it was one of the very best dances ever sponsored by the club. Music was furnished by Harry Ray mond and the College “N”orchestra. MRS.
