Mr.. E. H. Aull, NeWberry, S. G..

Mr.. E. H. Aull, Newlberry, S. C.
Dear Sir: 1t appears from recent
election returns, that you have practi-
cally lost everything except your
friend Mr.. S. l.. Drag. Now let us
all get together and make the cleo
ton of Mr.. Drag unanimous.
Let the people rule"
On, no, you are entirely mistaken.
You have not read The Herald and
News closely. But even if we did not
nave anything but our old friend Mr..
IS. L. Drag We would still be happy.
But you are bad wrong. Lets see.
We had never figured it up. We have
Tom Peoples, Dolpn Jones, Maxey Nc
Gown, Sam Carter, Frank Shealy, Neal
Workman, Jim Sample, and Geo. S.
Mower.
Honest, now, come to think about it
haven't we got just about as much
as you? Tell the truth and let the
people rule and use old split log drag.
And We have got more because we
are playing the glad game and you
can't do it successfully, for if you
could you would not writing anonymous
letters. The Herald and News always
stands out in the open and for this it
is glad.
But the election is now ancient his
tory and We expect to keep our eye
to the front and work for the better
ment and the uplift of all the people.
1t makes no difference how you voted.
Everybody now for South Carolina.

The New York Herald makes

The New York Herald makes a
great ado about the personal appear
ance of Gov. Blease, and how ne
was dressed, and the Columbia Record
endeavors to make capital out OF it.
We have known tie governor for a
good many years and his personal
appearance and dress were not at all
different from what We have seen him
wear for many years. He has alwys
been neat and trim in dress. His
enemies will have to hand that to him.
That was true long before he ever
became governor, But that reporter
was sure scrutinizing his personal ap-
pearance very closely.

The buy-a-bale movement has help
ed some but it will take more than
the Jew bales bought in Newberry to
relieve the situation. Cotton is our
money crop in this section and if it is
not sold and the money put in circula-
ton the whole business OF this country
is going to be staguated. If the mills
can have cotton shipped in here from
other points at cents they are not
going. to buy at a higher price on
the local market. But this, country
is too big and too resourcesul to let
a thing like this hurt it. Of course
there are some who will be sorely
hurt if they are forced to meet their
obligations at once, under present
conditions, and the people who may
force them will be hurt just as bad in
the end.

Livingstone, or near Prosperity and
Miss Frances and Veta Kfbler, and the
son is Mr.. MagureL L. Kihler, of Prosper
ity, R. F. D. No. 3. Sac also leaves one
brother Mr.. Barnes Peister and sew
eral grand children. Her body was
laid to rest the following day at st.
Pauls church, amid large concourse
of friends and relatives. Mrs. KiIbler
was a good woman and was loved b.
all who knew her, Oh, how sad when
we go to that home to see her bright
and loving face no more.
She as always so thoughtful for the
comfort OF others, but we know where
to find her, she told the writer few
days before she died that she knew it
was impossible for her to live and that
she was willing to go although she
hated to leave her dear loved ones.
During her long illness all that
human skill and tender loving care
could do, was done to restore this
precious one, but God in his wisdom
saw lit to take her to brighter world,
and thereby happy home is shroud-
ed with sorrow.
She is sadly missed by all, but oh,
in that sad family circle her place can
never be filled, her loved ones are
grieved by her absence, but are sus-
tanned by the grace of the comforter,
and the hope of renewing the tender
ties in Heaven, that were formerly on
earth.
She shall no more be with III
friends and loved ones here, but we
hope to meet her on the other shore
beyond the river of death. In our
blindness we can't understand it, but
at last when all of life's lessons have
been called up higher we shall see
and understand.
May the God of all peace comfort
the bereaved ones, and may they be
as true as she has been, and strive to
meet her in a fairer land where there
will be no parting.
There are many mysteries in life
which we can't understand, but God
will reveal all to us if we only watch
faithfully and wait patiently, and we
shall see her face again, but oh, so
changed not as it was when we saw it
last, pale and lifeless, but it will be
bright and shining never to bear the
marks of pain again.
Dear ones, your home is sad and
lonely since the chain has been broken
and the spirit of that dear wife and
mother called to her blest home in
Heaven. Now we part in tears on
earth to meet no more, but dear one,
! we hope to meet on the banks of
sweet deliverance. No more on earth

COOPERATION NEEDED.

1t seems to US that 1t would be we'll
for some Of the cotton to be placed on
the market so long as the price re-
mains around cents. 1t may not bo
the popular thing with the farmers
to say this, because the 'buy bale"
movement and some other things have
been advising the holding Of the cot
ton for 10 and II cents. That is al
right and no one would be prouder to
know that the farmer could realize
y cents for his cotton than we would.
But We had just as we'll face the
facts. If the war continues for three
months, six months or II month the
consumption OF cotton by American
and European. spinners for the next
y months will not be exceeding ten
million bales We will have this year
15,OOO,0OO bale crop which will give
a surplus of about 100000 bales.
If the farmers for another year
produce ever a ten million bale crop
the price is obliged to go below 10
cents. The point is if some of the
cotton could be marketed now at
or. ten cents so as to put some money
in circulation and relieve the strain
o. the southern merchant and south
ern banker, then these gentlemen
would be in position to help III farme,
hold off the market the surplus crop
of this year and if the farmer would
reduce his crop Of cotton for next
year then he could hope to receive a
fair price for it, and if he put his
land in food-stuffs he would still be in
better position to hold his cotton lor
a fair price. But if it is undertaken to
hold all of the cotton off the market
for ten or II cents there will be
terrible stringency in the money mar
keep in this section That is the way it
appears to us, though we may be mis-
taken, but as we see it what is here
said is in the best interest of the cot
ton producer and the farmer.
1t seems to us that would be bet
ter to take nine or ten cents now
and help relieve the strain of those
who are helping the farmer than later
be forced to sell for four or five cents.
We do not mean by this that all of
the cotton should be forced on TIE
market because if it were that would
run the price down to four or five
cents.
WHAT we need is cooperation, but
there must be cooperation on the part
of the farmer and producer as we'll as
the banker and the merchant. Let
every one do his part and all will
be we'll. If the merchants will take
cotton on account at 10 cents that will
help, but suppose the buy-a-bale move
ment should take over 100000 bales
that would not be one-tenth of the
South Carolina crop.

shall we hear her footsteps but may
we meet her bright and shining face,
at the pearly gates above where no
parting tears are shed, but all will
be bright and happy, on that golden
shore. May the kind Father COM
fort the bereaved ones and help them
to say "Thy will be DONE"
Dear one thou hast left US,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But It's God that has bereft us,
He can all our SORROWS heal.
How we miss your gentle footsteps,
Miss your kind and gentle words,
No more in that lonely home
Will your tender voice be heard.
The golden gates were opened wide,
A gentle voice said come
And angels from the other side,
Welcomed our dear one home.
Yet again We nope to meet thee
When the day Of life is fled
There in Heaven with joy to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
So, farewell dear one
You have only gone before,
And if we are just as faithful
We shall reach the golden shore.
