1t does seem just a little strange
that whenever 1 write about something
some of these big papers have some
thing to say on tee same subject, or
they do very soon after. Of course,
it is not because have had something
to say on the subject, because these big
editors never see what I write And
trey are the losers thereby, but I can't
help that. The point I was trying to
lead up to is that just the other day
the News and Courier had an editorial
on noises and the next day there was an
editorial in the Charlotte Observer on
the same subject, and suggesting that
there be established a "go slow zone"
and "quiet zone" just like the Ger
mans have established their war zone

you make plans ahead to market cotton
gradually you will find yourself in ter
rible sIzape." Mr.. McLaurin claims
that the State warehouse system will
save the situation and he has the en-
dorsement of many men high up in the
financial world and it is worth Willie
to give it trial. That is the mes
sage that he has.

a little corner of No. township Sat-
urday, July TO- Two men in this part
of the county don't mind the work of
preparing barbecue, every July for
the benefit of-iJ1eir7 families and neigh
bors. This being the fourth year
eating all you can" gatherings
have taken place. The men,. wo-
men and children vie with each other
to see who can be the jolliest and eat
the heartiest. Messrs. Jim and George
Epting get their heads together, then
gat1er the ingredients and make
ready for the feast. They can not be
beat when it comes to hash and
'cued meats. A huge pot of hash, one
of IRISH potatoes cooked with pork
sauce, one of rice, the best Drowned,
well-seasoned carcass one ever saw.
Piles of loaf bread, pickles, tubs of ice
ea, ice lemonade, ice water at every
ones disposal.
Tie children did ample justice to
these.
At the close the remainder was di-
vided among the families, each car
rying home enough for supper.
Ten families enjoyed this feast, the
men paying the cost of the cue, willie
their families enjoyed it. Quite a
treat for the women to get such a
good dinner and not have the trouble
of preparing it. Nothing to provide
except the necessary dishes, etc.
The table was spread under I2uge
oak in Mr.. jim Epting's yard. suca
a pretty clean shady yard, delightful
breezes, one could not help but en-
JOY himself. 1t would be fard to
find men (and a few women thrown
in) with heartier appetfces than was
found there. Some few wore leather
belts, a necessary precaution. One
man. could not be satisfied drinking
tea by using a tumbler, but used a
gallon bucket instead from which he
quaffed the cooling nectar. All good
luck to these big hearted men, who
can think of somebody besides them
selves. Three visitors were present:
Miss Cleone Hayes, Newberry; Miss
Fannie Sell, Columbia; Mrs. Metts,

WATCH McLAURIN.

Warehouse Commissioner John u
McLaurin may not conscientiously en-
tertain political ambitions, but heSis
nevertheless one of the livest political
figures in the State at the present
time. We nave never been follow
er or admirer of Mr.. McLaurin and
can not be accused of partiality or
prejudice in his favor, but it is evi-
dent that he is coming back as a
leader as tie result of his efforts and
achievements as the father of the cot
ton warehouse system. The warehouse
system is something tangible that has
attracted public attention to a marked
degree and the practical results OBJ
tanned are building up for Mr.. McLau-
rim a reputation as a constructive
statesman. He is growing into the
confidence of the rank and file Of the
people. Whether or not ne has earned
the credit he is receiving is neither
here nor there, but TIE facts are as
stated. If the drift toward McLaurin
continues and if his always numerous
friends put him in the race for the
United States senate to succeed Sen
ator Tillman he will be strong factor
in the campaign. McLaurin is the man
that others with budding senatorial
aspirations have to fear. Watch Nc
Laurin. = Sumter Watchman and
Southron.
You need to watch McLaurin be-
cause he is a man with a message, and
a very important message, for this
Southland of ours. Unless we make
some arrangement by which we can
take care OF our cotton so at not to
be forced to sacrifice it, We will be in
worse condition than We found our
selves last fall. He is sounding a
warning which it might be we'll to
heed. In an address before a COM
mittee of the Georgia legislature Mr..
.NcLaurin is quoted as saying 'Any
day you may find England declaring
cotton a contTaband Of war Unless

Most people will agree with Mr..
Bryan that cit is not a sacrifice Of
rights to avoid unnecessary risks. ,:
That is about what tne German gov
ernment asks that the Americans avoid
unnecessary risks and there will be
no danger to them from the submarine.

PERVERTED,

Those newspapers which support the
kind of American neutrality which
England finds so satisfactory attempt
to read into international law pro-
vision that is not there. They assert
that it would be unneutral for indi-
viduals in this country to be forbidden
to supply arms and munitions to any
belligerent that wants to buy them.
That is barefaced, in view of the fact
that cI-is country has in the past put
an embargo upon exports of war sup
plies without causing charge that
such conduct was unneutral.
And papers Of that kind in sup
port of their contention quote article
I of The Sague convention, as follows:
"a neutral power is not bound TO
prevent the export or transit, on be-
half of one or the otter of belliger-
ents, or arms, munitions of war, or
generally, or anything which can be
of use to an army or navy"
1t is curious mental twist that
perverts that plain language to mean
that a neutral power is bound to per-
nit its citizens to supply war material
to belligerents. 1t may do so, but the
highest form of neutrality is to refuse
to exercise f5-at privilege That is
Switzerland's attitude and nobody has
alleged that Switzerland is unneutral.
Switzerland has set US an example we
might we'll follow. 1t is not helping
on the wholesale murder that sur
rounds it in Europe.-Greenville Pied
mont, ,4,.. ~. !. :
This is the way IT appears to Us.
1t seems to us tbat not SO long ago
this country refused to permit the sale
of arms or munitions of war to Mex
leo. And under the article quoted by
the Piedmont it does seem that neu-
trail power could prevent the shipment
of munitions of war to belligerent
countries and still remain a neutral
nation. But so long as the big cor
porations and the money power are
making money out of the shipments
u-ere is little danger of the govern
ment at Washington putting stop to
the shipment. We believe with the
Piedmont that the highest form OF
neutrality would be to cease to furnish
munitions of war to any of the bel
lgerents and in tits way the war
would soon come to an end.
We can not see wherein the United
States can claim to be neutral as long
as she permits the shipment of all
kinds of war material and munitions
of war to one side when at the same
time England puts an embargo upon
the shipment of cotton to another of
the belligerents. TIE thing that we do
nor understand is now cotton can be
contraband' Of war when it is proper
and in accordance with the law of ma
tons and neutrality to ship unlimited
amounts of powder and guns and rifles
and all the death dealing instruments
to the otter side. What we would like
to see is to stop all shipments and
bring this war to close. That would
be the best thing that the United States
could possibly do and We believe that
she might accomplish that end, but
there are certain big corporations and
manufacturers who are making i'm
mense fortunes out of the war and Of
course they do not care how long it
lasts.

o
This chautauqua is to be booster
chautauqua for Newberry town and
county. It is not to make money for
any one. If t.ere should be anything
above. the guarantee to the performers
the balance is to go to the: park.
Then let every one turn out and for
this: once. be united on one thing that
is for the good of all. If the moral
and intellectual atmosphere is such
in Newberry that cnautauqua can't
live in it then we better change
the atmosphere or move out; but l
believe that the atmosphere is all
right and t:at the cnautauqua will
thrive and that the canary will con-
tinue to sing. And l am going to
close by asking every one to go to
the opening of the park on Friday
night, and by quoting a little poem
written by Porter A. Whaley who is
himself town booster. Here is it:
How to Help Things Along.
If things don't just seem to suit you,
And the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with your boostin'
Just to help<the thing along?
Cause if things should stop a-goin',
We'd be in a sorry plight,
Just keep that morn a-blowin-
Boost 'er up with all your might.
If you know some fellows failin's,
Just forget 'em, cause you know
That same fellow has some good
points
Them's the ones you want to show.
"Cast your loaTes out on the waters,
They'll come back" a saying true;
Mebbe, too, they'll come back butter
Wien some fellow boosts for you.
For me no more the foreign shore.

!. Fifteen Hundred Southern Towns
Like Ours-Be;ween the Potomac
and the Gulf of Mexico there are 1900
towns like ours. Some larger, some
smaller. They include a larger per
centage Of Englisn-speaking native
born Americans than any other SINH
lar area Of the entire United States.
There is larger percentage Of church
membership and church attendance.
and there is a higher moral tone per
yading in the homes Of these towns
than in any or er section Of this
great coutry. Wherever a young man
or young woman leaves one of these
towns to seek his or ner fortune In
one of the great cities, they leave be-
hind them a better home and better
influences than t-ey will ever find
elsewhere.
We Need Our Boys and Girls to Help
Our Towns-We must hold our boys
and girls by making the "old nome
town" the most attractive spot on
earth. "a dead town" will never hold
them. We have got to give them
clean, decent amusement and enter
tainment, and We '3ave got to give
them a chance for as great a career at
home as tney think they can find else
where.
The Big~~Fhings Right Here At
Home.--There is an abundant oppor-
tunity rig-t here in this town and
in the surrounding country for every
one of our young men and young
women to achieve the very greatest
sucdess. We need them in developing
our natural resources, in promoting
more scientific farming, in making
better schools, in Strengthening Our
q urches, in building better roads, in
promoting manufacturing enterprises,
in bringing in up-to-dare methods OF
merchandising, in improving sanitary
conditions, in beautifying our homes
We Are Going to Keep Our Canar-
les Singing.-T-is town needs an an
nual chautauQua and is going to nave
it. 1t is one of the things that helps!
to make Town better place to live
in. 1t is a creator of ideals, and a
source of inspiration. If you are a
good citizen, you are going fc help
in bringing it, and when it rs over you
are going to be happy because you did
your part.
Are You Going to Do Your Part?-
If every good citizen of this town
will respond promptly and buy a
pair of chautauqua season tickets,
success, will be assured and there
will be a neat profit to be used in
providing even a greater program
next year. If our people will not
respond, then those who are putting
up the guarantee for the chautauQua
will pay the deficit out Of their own
pockets.
