ing to the allies is enormous, and if
they could not get it from tae United
States they would soon be compelled
to stop fighting. But as it appears un-
der the terms of international law as
to war, that would not be position Of
neutrality. But it is neutral for US to
supply one side with all the munitions
of war that are wanted and cut off
cotton and food for the other. If We
remember correctly, the United States
stopped shipment of munitions of war
to Mexico Tie trouble is the great
manufacturing concerns are making
loads of money out of these shipments
and of course it suits them very we'll

THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

1t is a pleasure to US to visit the
country schools, especially those with
which we had something to do in CIV
ing new life and helping to find out
that the school house was in their
midst, and we are always gratifed to
see the progress made and the interest
manifest.
We were at Whitmire last Monday
night, and the growth and interest in
the school at this place is very marked.
They now have one of the best and
most modern school 2ouses in the
State and the school spirit prevails to
large degree, and it was inspiring
to see tae bright boys and girls who
are preparing themselves for life's bat
tie as they appeared on the stage.

Tertising on large scale. Perhaps

ing for bargain now more than ever
and the man that goes after the bu =
ness will get it.--Abbeville Medium.
The merchants here are not aiver-
tising on a very large scale, but ulose
that are advertising say that business
is much better This season than it was
at the same time last year. The way
in which tie merchants of town ad-
Vertise in the local papers is some in
dex Of the progress and life of the

And u-ey do say an Abbeville man
came very near landing tnat $1,000 job
of secretary to the board or charities
and correction. But the "eliminator"
eliminated him fnaI1y.-Abbevill Me-
dunn.
We were under the impression taat
the job paid $4,000, and We think We
are right. The assistant secretary gets
a salary of s1,SOO. With no intention
to criticise the action of the board IN
the selection of a secretary, We are
still of Jae opinion that the establish
ment of this position was useless
one. Mr.. Joanstone, whom We once
)met, seems to be a very clever young
man. When We met him he was sec
retary of the chamber of commerce of
Greenville. This charity-secretary sal
ary is $500 more than the State pays
its treasurer and other States officers
and the same that the governor re-
ceives. And we believe the same that
We pay our circuit judges. This last
legislature was some on on the Great
ing of new Offices and new departments.
And spending money and increasing
taxes If the people want these things,
of course, they should have them.
They are t1e ones to pay the bills.

Tuesday, May Is, 1915.

The city Of Greenville recently
awarded contracts for 10000 square
yards of street paving and 10000
square yards of sidewalk paving and
extensive curbing. That will give some
streets and some sidewalks and will
also give employment to number of
people and put some money in circu-
lation. No town can make very great
progress until it Las some paved
streets, or at least some that are pas
sable roads. How would it do for
Newberry to start a movement for
some street paving? We have pretty
good lot of sidewalk paving which was
put down some years ago, but We do
need some paved streets, and we hope
no more paved with brick. There is
a paving which will last jus. as long
and it is claimed to be dustless and is
noiseless.

Somebody's bull dog grabbed a piece
of flesh out of the leg of Master David
Hayes as he was riding along the
street on his bicycle on Sunday. We
wonder if that ordinance against dogs
of any description running at large on
the streets without a muzzle has been
repealed. Seems to us that such law
or ordinance was adopted some years
ago just after a little child had been
bitten by rabid dog and from the
effects of which suffered terrible
death. Will Chief Duncan please con-
suit the city attorney and find out
about this dog ordinance. 1t will be
too late after some one is bitten by a
rabid dog-that is for the person or
child bitten. If the ordinance has not
been repealed, why not enforce it?

THIS WILL LIVE.

President Wilson used an expression
the ot1er day which will doubtless live
among the classics. He said: Notice
of an intention to commit an illegal
act does not make the act legal, nor
Justify it."
This is, Of course, but stating an old
truth in a new way, but it is so true
and forceful that it will never be for
gotten.-Anderson Mail.
What is war for but to kill people?
Here was ship of the enemy in TIE
war zone, carrying munitions of war to
kill the Germans. And we believe with
guns with which to defend herself.
Not very good place for women and
children and neutrals, unless they ex-
pected to share the fortunes of war.
War, any way you make it, is nothing
but murder. There is nothing legal
about it. If the United States wants
to stop this war she could do it very
easily and in very saort time. Let
her cut off all supplies of every de-
scription and the war would soon come
to an end. The amount of guns and
ammunition of every kind and of food

We went to Zion on Saturday and
the school spirit is manifest in this
community also, but they need more
children. The exhibition given by the
children demonstrated the careful and
painstaking training which they had
had at the hands of the two devoted
and earnest young ladies Who presided
over the school the past session. Two
medals were given by the trustees,
one each to the child in each room who
made the best decord in department
during the year. The teachers said
that the successful boys-for the med
ais were awarded to boys-made al
most perfect. They were in the hign

mary school, zack Kinard, not broth
ers, but cousins.
