Read More Carefully.
The Observer.

The Observer.
Our esteemed local cotemporary, The
Herald and News, in its Tuesday issue,
said:
"The Anderson Mail says: Let's
have a live chamber Of commerce in
Anderson and get things like Green
Vile and Greenwood And yet we be-
lieve Anderson is the town to which
our cotemporary refers as being
great town with no chamber of com
merce. Why should the Mail be calling
for live chamber of commerce when
our. cotemporary points to her with
pride as not having one and giving
Anderson as an excuse for the dis
bandment of the Newberry chamber"
Either The Herald and News man
reads the Observer very carelessly or
else the Observer can not express its
meaning plainly enough to be under
stood
We did say, in substance, that An
derson is a great town-and it is. And
it had no chamber of commerce when
the statement was made; it was to Or
ganize one last night, and no doubt
did. The statement Of our cotemporary
that the Observer points to her with
pride as not having one and giving An
derson as an excuse for the disband-
ment of the Newberry chamber" is
without foundation in fact; the obser-
YER did nothing of the kind.
There was no excuse" needed for
1.-THE disbandment of the Newberry
chamber. The reason of the disband-
ment was apparent to. all who were
present at the call meeting. and the
vote for disbandment was unanimous
at the meeting.
In the same. article from which the
Herald and News pretends to quote the
Observer said:
There are many ways in which
properly-conducted body of this char
acter, can help. and, therefore, we
would like. to see one in Newberry, and
will do our part in starting it and
keeping it going. We feel like We have
right to say this, because We joined
the late chamber of commerce at it's
organization and stayed with it to the
last, paying our dues regularly and do
ing a good deal Of free advertising for
it, and getting nothing in return beyond
the satisfaction Of trying to help the
community; and we are ready to do
the same thing again whenever any
ether organization is started that
promises to be a public benefit. .
Our cotemporary must have seen
that portion of our article, as we'll as
the reference to Anderson-which it
has rot quoted, but has twisted out OF
its plain and obvious meaning.
What does our cotemporary expect
to gain by misrepresenting the OBJ
server in this manner?

Hypocrites Are the
Work of Satan

When all creation was finished and
Adam and Eve went off on their bridal
tour the devil sneaked into the shop
and scraped up the scraps and made
a hypocrite, and said his mission
should be looking like what he really
wasn't, and the devil saw he was a
dandy and he waxed strong and COW
cred the earth as the waters cover
the sea. Some people have an idea
that hypocrisy is confined to church
people--that the only hypocrite is the
man who prays the Lord to relieve
his neighbor of his desire to sin, and
all through the week tries to relieve
him of Almost everything else. We
find this devil-daddied class of human
decoctions in every walk of life, as
we'll as in the church.
Hypocrisy belongs to no church,
party or class, but is the common
property of all humanity.
Men and women seek it as a cloak

The mar or woman who gets up

and sheds a b~ottleful of tears as big
as hulled walnuts and pours out a
burning desire to be good, pure and
charitable to the world and then as
quick as a politician can say howdy
turn around and hatch up an internal
lie on some innocent person or sell
an old bob-tailed muley COW that
would not give a pint of "bluejohn"
four milkins' to some unsuspecting
Esau on the recommendation that she

hypocrite from snout to tail.
The church member who lies, back
bites or cheats anyone, whether it
be a heather, a democrat a Jew or a
gentleman, is a ring-eyed ~hypocrite,
and | wouldn't give as much Cor his
seat in the gospel band wagon as l
would for the chances of a waX-legged
sinner running a foot race out of
hades.
The kiss of old Judas Iscariot was
the work of a hypocrite, and all the
way down the ages we see where this
method has been adopted. If your
life is not in harmony with your pro-
f%ession, and the bell of your heart
doesn't ring at the turn of your heart,
there's something wrong in your
makeup.
A manly man and a womanly wo-
man free from hypocrisy are the
choice works of a divine architect

THE PRESIDENT INDIGNANT

In burning words of indignation
President Wilson has called the at

In his judgment it is only necessary
to show the selfish motives behin7

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Many of us who have reached mid
die age can recall the fact that when
we were boys on the farm the farmer
who had two spring seats to put on
his wagon for gala days was consider
ed a most fortunate and well-to-do
farmer. Most farmers then had only
n spring seat and the children sat
behind on mere boards laid across the
wagon bed, Then came the farmer
with a spring wagon, a smaller wagon
with springs under it. Then the top
buggy and SO IN. Now it Is the fine
automobile that runs not only on
springs but on cushion tires, and one
automobile costs about as much as
twenty spring wagons used to cost.

Larger Premiums
AT South Dakota Fair

To encourage the exhibition OF live
stock at the 1913 state fair, the sec
rotary of the State Board of Agricui-
ture announces that an additional
premium of 30 per cent of that won
(where there is competition) will be
given for animals owned in South
Dakota. This should be an induce
ment for our breeders to fit something
for the fair. With this arrangement
it would be a great honor to win even
a third prize, when We consider the
class of horses and cattle that have
been shown in recent years at Huron.
1t is not too early to plan now on
taking stock to the state fair. The
advertising received by exhibiting will
more than compensate the breeder
for the extra expense and trouble.

ceeds to castigate them. The wooden

beet sugar manufacturers all pursuing
the natural right of self-preservation,
are held up to public contempt.
He makes no charge nor does he
intimate that the selfish interests are
trying to buy up any OF his Democrat
ic senators. All they are trying to
do is to neutralize the arguments and
oppose the position taken by himself
and Mr.. Underwood. This is outrage
enough, for Mr.. Underwood is suppos-
ed to know more about farming than
the farmers do, he is more Of an ex-
pert in woolens ard cottons, silk,
knit goods, sugar and other produc-
lions than those who devote their
lives to those Industries.

may possess in support of their con-
%tentIons, and they my have an assur-

aims to protect them as far as may be

Mr.. Wilson's objections amount to
practically a denial Of the right of
petition. He assumes that having
been duly elected as a minority preSi-
dent it is now his right to put his
theories into practice without any in
reference on the part of those who
were defeated at the polls.
He also assumes that the senate is
in session not for the purpose of in
vestigation and deliberation but TO
confirm the propositions that he sends
in, and to strengthen himself in that
position he has let it be known that

THE FAMILY INCOME"

In the tariff debate some very in,
teresting facts have been brought out
by the different speakers, and the
bearing of economic and industrial
conditions on the subject Of tariff
regulation have been pointed out. Mr..
Anderson Of Minnesota, told the
house that "in the United Kingdom
the average weekly family income in
certain specified trades, including
building, engineering, printing and
common labor, is S7.47. The average
weekly family expenditure for food is
$4.93, or 63.9 per cent of the family
income, In the United States the av-
erase weekly family wage in the same
trades is $19.25, and the average fam
lily expense for food is $500, or Alt
per cent. The difference in favor of
the American wage earner amounts to
,2l,9 per cent of the average American
weekly wage, or 1920 per week.
