Charity is the greatest of the Chris
tian virtues, we are told by the divine
writer. In my opinion the one next
to it, though not recorded as one OF
the greatest virtues in holy writ, is
loyalty. Loyalty to your country, loyalty
to your home, loyalty to your friends,
loyalty to your own family Now what
is loyalty. Mr.. Webster sas it is the
state or quality Of being loyal. Fidel-
ity to superior, or to duty, or to
love. Every one knows what duty is
though some Of US sometimes fall far
short in the performance even Of the
every day duties Of the household or
the home or a great many others that
might mention Every one knows
what love is, though sometimes We. all
iall very far snort in the proper eXer-
else of it wkcre it is our duty to show
it. Now, what is fidelity? Mr. Web
,ler says fidelity is ''faithfulness, ad-
herence to right. Careful and exact
Dservance of duty, or discharge OF OBJ
.igation." How many. or how few, live
up to these definitions, and yet how
easy it would be if there was right
eousness in each individual heart.

We read much in the public press to-
Gay of loyalty to our country.'
1t is well, for if any man on earth
has reason to feel loyal to his country
fer benefits conferred, that man is the
American citizen.
But there is another loyalty which
ranks side by side with that of country.
and that is loyalty to nome and home
people"
We have a community here in which
any people might feel just pride, and
We have people wholly on par with
the community, though there are times
when We are neglectful of our interests
and unmindful of the disintegrating
consequence which invariably ensue.
Loyalty always pays its dividend, but
loyalty to home and home people pays
a double dividend.
Let us be loyal to our country by all
means, but let us be doubly loyal to our
home people and our home institutions,
for it is by this means only that we
may thrive, and flourish, and grow as
collective unit in the marts of the
world

Yes, loyalty, that loyalty which
causes the brother to be faithful and
true to the sister and the sister to
the brother. The fan md the mother

father and the mother it is the most
beautiful sight in this world of sin and
sorrow. do not know anything in all
the category of virtues that appeals to
me more than family loyalty. And let
me tell you, where it is not there is not
that loyalty to country and to home
that should exist to make great peo-
ple. The home is the foundation OF
our government and of our institutions.
When there is not loyalty to the home
and the folk there, then there begins
the disintegration of the very govern
ment itself. O, if could just impress
upon the young men and the young
women as they go out from the home
the Importance of loyalty to the home
and the folk they have left there, /
would feel that all the stuff l had writ

tine in the future, will have the same
experience that the old folk at home
have now, and then they will realize
the truth of what l am writing now,
but it will be too late then to make
reparation for the heartache they have
caused by their lack of loyalty. Too

what they are, you will feel the force
of them some day. You will be old
after awhile if you live long enough.

them Honor them. Loyalty pays its
dividends. You will find out after a
while. I reckon | am writing this be-

community. l think it was DR.. Gro

other day, who said that he had con-
tempt for the man, or the woman Che
didn't say woman, but do who would
be constantly knocking and running
down his own town. The place in
which he lives and makes his bread
and meat should be THE place in mis-
eyes. If it is not then he should move
on to some other place. Of course,
there is no one in Newberry who is
not loyal to the town. We wouldn't
let 'em stay here We would just move
'em on, whether they wanted to go Or
not / want to say this: If all the
people of the community were as loyal
to it as the newspapers We would have
peach of town. The NeWberry
newspapers never issue paper but
something appears therein tnat IS
boosting the town and the people Of
the community. Had you ever thought
of that? They are so constantly at
it that the people take it as matter
of course. And yet there is no class
in the community that receives half so
much cussing as the newspaper peo-
pie. And who are so little appreciated.

of The Herald and News is paying me
anything for saying this, but it is the
literal truth and I just can't help
speaking the truth. was taught 10

Loyalty which is defined as fidelity to

Wasting Time.
DR.. Sam f. Price


: The legislators are wasting theil
time considering bills relating to
habit forming drugs.
On December 18th, 1914, the
President signed what is known
as the Harrison Law, and it will
take effect March l., 1915. While
this law appears to be a taxation
measure, it is in reality a govern
ment cure for the drug habit.
There is at present in the United
States no less than 100000 users
of habit forming drugs, and in
spite of existing laws they are
increasing at an alarming rate.
This law does not repeal any ex-
listing law relating to the prescrib-
ing or sale of these drugs. Each
doctor that contemplates prescrib-
ing opeum, morphine, cocain,
choral, or any of their derivitives,
must procure from the government
a license to do so and renew il
each year. The provisions of this
law r so strict and the penalty
for violating it SO severe that there
will be but few, if any, that will
try to evade it.

Across From
Ocean to Ocean.

Perhaps the highest achieve
ment in the scientific world was
reached Monday afternoon when
telephone conversations were car
RED on between Washington, New
York, Boston and San Francisco,
with as much ease as though those
converslng were only a few miles
apart. This remarkable achieve
ment was enjoyed by President
Wilson of the United States, Pro-
fessor Alexander Graham Bell, the
inventor of the telephones; Thomas
A. Watson, the first man to whom
Mr.. Bell ever talked over the tele-
phone; President Moore of the
Panama Pacific Exposition, and
many others. It was the inaugur-
alton of the transcontinental COM
meIcial telephone system and it
required over 3,400 miles of wire
to connect the eastern with the
western coast. 1t was as though
the Atlantic had reached over in
its mighty splendor and shaken
hands with the peaceful Pacific.
The conversations occurred about 4
o'clock eastern time, and l o'clock
San Francisco time.
President Wilson was the first
person not connected with the tele-
phone company to enjoy the privi-
lege of hearing a human voice over
3,400 miles of wire. He stepped to
the telephone, and, placing the re-
ceiver to his ear, said, in a very
clear and impressive manner, to
President Moore of the Panama
and Pacific Exposition: at ap-
peals to the imagination to speak
across the continent. 1t is a fine
omen for the exposition that the
first thing it las done is to send
its voice from sea to sea. I con-
graduate you on the fine prospects
for a successful exposition. 1 am
confidently hoping to take part in
it after the adjournment of con-
gress. May I not send my greet
ings to the management and to all
whose work has made it possible
and has made it the great event it
promises to be, and to convey my
personal congratulations to your"
1t is an interesting fact that DR.
Bell and Mr. Watson used the
same instruments Monday in ac-
complishing the transcontinentsl
conversation that they used thirty
four years ago in accomplishing
their two. mile conversation. They
also used a part of the same wire
nsed then.
In each city from which the
conversations were held, the great
est preparations had been ar
neutrality-suspicious. that were
never excelled in the history of
the cities. The city officials, state
officials and others prominently
connected with the public aud
commercial life of each individual
community were present, and all
enjoyed the wonderful feat accom-
missed.
