PART II. CHAPTER v.

A GREAT ribbon of light from the watchful
~ Columbia perforated the night, and they
covered in this flaming pathway of white a lire of
shells similar to that which had conveyed them to
the island. From the one nearest the steady,

their work.
The radioplane was making
it's last flight before the war,
because it. was deemed that
all risk of discovery should be
obviated, even though other
methods of transportation
were comparatively snaillike.
And so the months went on
with activity at the key, plac-
idity in the administration,
and preparations for an on
slaught on Japan. AS the
work of construction adj
vanced, Norma found respite
to make occa sional brief Wis
its to Washington, where her
time was monopolized by Hill
her, who did not dream of his
forthcoming trip to London;
but "Old Bill" Roberts came
no more to the Capital.
Now began that series of
orders which subjected the
men at the head of the Gov
eminent to their greatest
trial. Work was stopped on
all Notifications, beginning
with those in the Philippines.
1t was accepted by the public
as foolish curtailment of ex-
pense. Before this had ceased
to rankle in the public mind
construction ceas ed in nearly
all the navy yards; but the
clamor then arose to such a
pitch that outwardly it was
resumed, being done for ap-'
pearance sake only and to pre-
vent a revolution.
So dangerous was the pitch
of indigna ton that some of
the President advisers quail
ed before the show OF wrath,
and feared that an army of
Americans might march on
Washington. They besought
the President to alter his
plans and make broadcast an
nouncement of the state of
defense; but he, his Ameri-
canism exceeded only by his
huma nitarianism, stood stead
ia st. His answer was char
acteristic:
IF our secret becomes
known, there will be no war,
and war is a necessity for our
purpose. In our hands has
been given by a miracle the

hines, compromising the ne
eessity for haste, and imbued
with only one idea: That
their efforts were for their
country. Soldiers were they
who in other times would
have shut their jaws and
grimly stormed through shot
and shell; but were now do
ing no less valiant acts when
with every turn of a wheel
or every blow of a hammer
they threw mind, muscle,
and heart into the appearing
of the nations defense.
The President in a reverie
found himself contemplating
them. Here, he thought,
was the personifcation of
that anomaly the American
working man: ofttimes tur-
bulent, frequently dissatis-
fed, sometimes waging w; r
fare with employer and CAPT
tai and cursing political per-
ties; but when country and
home were endangered, cour-
ageous as a lion guarding
whelps, reckless of life. and
unheeding wounds, plunging
to the front in a frenzy, and

as he returned to the long
motionless line of radio
pla mes.
The ray of light, broad,
steady, and clear, was still
there, and as the visitors en-
tered its borders the quick,
sharp blast of a whistle in the
rear, as if by preconcerted
signal, caused every wheel to
come to an abrupt stop.

HAS NEVER BEEN TO NEWBER-
RY

A few days ago a communication
appeared in the State from Sumter,
making complaint that the post Office
at that place closed its outer door at
9 O'Clock, so That even those persons,
who owned lock boxes. could not get
their mail after that hour, and stat
ed that If was The only post Office Of
the second class in the United States
where mail could not be received
through lock boxes after 9 O'Clock at
night. The party who wrote the let
ter. has probably never been to New
berry. Our office is closed promptly
at 9 O'Clock and The mail that comes
in at $50 is not distributed until ar-
ter s o'clock the next day.
We notice from the Sumter Item
that this complaint has been rene
died and that the postmaster states
that no complaint had ever been made
I" him. but that he had been work
ing on the matter for nearly a year
and that in few days he would be
able to give The people access to the
office at night. In fact, he proposes
after the 18th Of this month to put on
night clerk, who will have charge Of
the Office and make np the mail that
is deposited during the night. Of
course the general delivery will not
be open at night, but persons who
nave locked boxes, will be able to 90
into the lobby and secure their mail
and deposit outgoing mail
In our post Office if il should hap
pen that trains Nos. 1S and 10 are
made mail trains, il will scarcely be
possible to buy stamps or secure
money orders except at very brief
intervals, because while mails arc be-
ing put up, the money order, stamp
and registered letter windows are
either closed or there is no one at any
OF them to wait upon those who de-
sire to buy stamps or money orders.
This Smctimes works great incon-
ven'enca, and persons have to wait
until the mail is distributed or 60
away and come again. We thought
that when the Office was made Sec
ond class Office and separate windows
were labeled for stamps and register
cd letters and money orders that at
least during the Office hours there
would be someone constantly al these
windows to wait upon tnc public. If
the force at present is not sufficient
for This work. the government GER
ta'nly ought to furnish additional
help.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE9

The people of this community would
be glad TO know why the Standard
Warehouse Company can afford to
store cotton at Greenwood at 10 cents
per bale while il charges 20 cents
Tor the same service AT Ncwbcrry. The
following is copy of Il circular,
which has been distributed through
out this county. and though il gives
Tree advertisement to The Ware
house business. we give il this pro-
mn"nrc III order 10 inquire from the
management al the warehouse at
Nrwhrrry why lniS discrimination
should be made aa@in>t this city. If
the Standard Warehouse Company
can afford I" cut the price at Green
wood. It certainly ought TO do even
better fer the town Of Ncwbcrry,
where ii has il monopoly of the bust
ness. The farmers. instead of building
Il warehouse of their own here. have
been patnnizin" the Standard Ware
house Company. and this concern has
gotten all Of the business. IF the
Standard Warehouse can afford to
store cotton ai 10 cents the bale where
II has competition it ought to be able
to do where it has Il mnopoly.
The following is the circular:
''To meet the cut made by the
Standard Warehouse company at this
point only, we will store and insure
and grade your cotton for 10c per
bale per month. the fractional part Of
