SABING CIVILIZATION
You have been told that we must
do our part to save civilization. Let’s
stop a moment and see how sincere
we are in that desire.
About three years ago a nation of
peace loving people, well on their
way to become a great democracy
under a Christian leader; a people
who have never given us or anyone
else any trouble; a people who have
contributed in untold measure to the
cultural, spiritual and material wel
fare of the world; a people whose
civilization is perhaps the oldest in
the world, were invaded by an imper
ialistic nation armed to the teeth and
bent on the slaghter of all who got
in their way. Defenseless city after
city were bombed without mercy and
thousands upon thousands of women
and children slaughtered. The vic
tim was China and the imperialistic
aggressor was Japan.
Now, where was out great country
during this merciless killing? Did
you hear any talk of sending our
“vast resources” to help save civili
zation then? You did not! What you
heard instead was that this country
was selling to Japan much of the
material with which to kill those
peace-loving people. The only ones
who raised their voices were the mis
sionaries who Iknew and loved them as
a people who were honorable and up
right, kindly and generous.
No, the House of Morgan and the
International Jew had no such inter
est in China as they have in Europe,
and that is the reason we went about
our business unconcerned while these
helpless people were being slaught
ered.
Doctor Roosevelt and his co-war
makers are using every method pos
sible to stir tlie people of this coun
try to a state of frenzy over- the
European situation. Over the radio
comes touching word pictures of the
“beautiful city of Paris” falling into
Hitler’s hands. They speak of its
“great contribution to world civiliza
tion” in an attempe to move emotion
al Americans. But let us remember
this, the City of Paris, as great as
it may be, is of brick and mortar
but the sons of American mothers arc
her life’s blood; a product of a;;:my
and fear and danger, and all of that
great city is not to be compared in
worth to even one of them.
The country should have learned
its lesson from the thousancs of
American boys who now rest under
foreign soil and from the bleached
bones scattered about the battle
fields of France; from the daily
suffering of tens of thousands of
Americans now in government hospi
tals; from the war widows and from
the billions that the war cost us and
is Still costing us and will continue
to cost us, for generations to come.
No, the war makers want to drafn
the blood of another generation of
our boys to save the investments of
the Morgans, the International Jew
and others of their ilk. Damn that
greedy crowd! They should be told
in no uncertain terins by the mothers
of this nation that their boys will
never fight again unless someone at
tempts to invade our shores.
It is truly a God-send that this
nation is not ready to fight, else we
would have already been in it. We
have time to prepare but none of it
should be wasted. And it might be
well for the people to remember that
we will never get prepared if the
present administration goes about it
like it went about defeating the de
pression. The voice of every Ameri
can should be heard at this critical
time. Your senator and your con
gressman should know that Inless
something tangible is shown by Nov
ember that you intend to vote for
someone who will do something, re
gardless of the party to whom they
belong. This is no time to consider
party affiliation. This is a time for
definite and straightforward action.
Every American man and woman
should ask himself or herself this
question: What amount of help could
we expect from England should we
find ourselves in war with say, with
Japan ? There is but one answer to
that, and that answer may be found
in the insatiable greed of the British
Empire. Far from helping us they
would try to turn our misery into
profit for themselves. That has al
ways been their policy and there is
no reason to believe they have chang
ed. They wouldn't pay us the honest
money they borrowed during the
world war; instead they repaid us
with insults when we tried to collect
it.
Close newspaper reads will remem
ber a little incident that shows bet
ter than anything else the great
“democratic heart” of the British
ruling class. It was, I believe, shortly
after the now deposed Edward came
to the throne that he made a trip to
a British coal mine. He was so
touched by the misery he found that
he made a public statement to the ef
fect that he would devote the rest of
his life to trying to better the condi
tion of these ,people. A storm went
up from the royal wretches and thus
Edward was started on his way out.
His marriage only precipated what
was in the background. This condi
tion of misery you will remember
existed in the richest empire on the
face of the earth. The masses of the
people in England have little if any
voice in their government. The royal
punks own them body and soul and
dish out what 'they want them to
have. And we are asked to save
this in the name of democracy!
The next crisis for this country in
the war situation will come when
Hitler lights on England and that
may be before the ink dries on these
words. It is there that the million
aires have their bonds and invest
ments and they are going to do their
level best to use this attack to push
us over the edge to which the great
Doctor Roosevelt has led us, Every
man and woman in this community
should write today to our lawmakers
and tell them we want no part in any
foreign war; that we will not fight
unless our country is actually threat
ened. And it is well to remember that
to this date we have not been threat
ened by anyone. Our own country
is the one which has been doing the
threatening.
Our country can best contribute to
the future peace of the world by
building itself up to command the
respect of all peoples everywhere. We
cannot do this as long as we try to
run the affairs of Europe at the same
time. In taking such a stand it does
not mean that we are to draw within
our shell; it means only that if we
are strong in our peaceful inten
tions others will listen to us in in
stances where we may be called upon
to negotiate between peoples. We can
be of real help to the people of the
world if we are strong for it is every
where known that we want nothing
from any nation.

Jury Absolves Youth
In Saturday Patricide
Harry Mills was found not guilty
in common, pleas court Monday of
the death of his father, Sam Mills,
Saturday evening at their home in the
city.
Mrs. Mills testified she and Mr.
Mills had been married 29 years and
had five sons and one daughter; that
Harry, who is 18, had undergone three
operations in the Columbia hospital
about two years ago and had never
fully regained his strength.
She testified that she was prepar
ing supper when her husband began
abusing and striking Ronald, 16, the
youngest for smoking cigarettes,
when the youth pleaded for him not
to hit him. Her husband then grabb
ed a chair and suddenly dropped it,
went for his gun and was standing
in the screen door aiming the shot
gun at one of the boys who was
leaving the dwelling when Harry fir
ed and struck his father in the right
shoulder, almost simultaneously an
other load' struck him in the left eye.
The shots were fired after the elder
Mills had threatened to get the whole
family.
Mrs. Mills who has supported the
family most of the time while her
husband was constantly away from
home, at one time for seven years,
testified she lived under a threat and
that the two loaded shells removed
from her husband’s gun were purch
ased to kill her with. He was drink
ing heavily and his behavior was ter
rible. “Just too bad for me to tell it”.
For the past three months he was at
home unemployed and was drinking
about three times a week. Things had
become almost unbearable, she de
clared 1 .
Mr. Mills was regarded as a crack
shot. The two shotguns with two
empty shells and two loaded ones
were placed in evidence.
Thomas H. Pope represented the
family. At the end of the testimony,
Solicitor Beasley asked for a verdict
of self-defense.
An inquest was held early Monday
amd the trial followed later.

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
The time for filing pledges and en
tering the county campaign for of
fice closed Monday noon. There does
not seem to be much desire this year
for public office. The reason probably
is that the field in pursuits is more
inviting and the pay better. Indica
tions are that the campaign will be
quiet and the people will be able to
register their choice where there are
opposing candidates without preju
dice or passion. The opening meet
ing of the campaign will be held this
Tuesday morning at 10:30 o’clock in
the court house and then there will
be no further meeting until the 3rd
of August at Young’s Grove at Pros
perity.
The water situation in Newberry
is serious but not alarming if the
people wll conserve andi not waste.
It is tto be regretted that we have
not a sufficient supply to water yards
and gardens, but it is much more im
portant to have a sufficient supply
for fire and drinking purposes. When
the new well is completed the supply
wall be adequate. The main well of
the town is furnishing the same
amount of water that it has always
furnished, but the town has been
growing and •Jve people are using
more water than heretofore, and the
supply is not sufficient for summer
demands.
