GEN. HAIG.

Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, who was recently promoted to the rank of general and given the command of the first British army under the new organization. is in his fffty-fourth year. Gen. Haig headed the first army corps of the British expedi- tionary force and won his promotion by sdisting guished service in the f1eId.' Before the outbreak of the war. Gen. Haig was for some years chief of staff of the army in India He graduated from Oxford before he entered the army thirty years ago with the Seventh Hussars. He serv- ed in the Eoudan, taking part in the action at Khartun, and won British and Egyptian medals, During the time associated gwith Gen. French, the commander in chief of the ex- peditionary force in France, and later in independent operations as commander of a. group of columns he greatly distinguished himself and was awarded the queens and kings medals. After the end of the Boer war he was dispatched to India as inspector-generaI of cavalry, and it was while holding that post, in 1905, that he married a daughter of Lord Vivian. He reached the rank of major-generaI in 1904, and in 1909 he was knighted and appointed chief of staff in India. Gen. Haig's repu- tation rests upon his ability as a cavalry leader, and in that branch of military service he is recognized as one of Great Britain's leaders He is the author of Cavalry Studies D Gen Haig has been called the hand somesti officer in the British army. Like Sir John French and all the subordinate heads of the newly formed British armies, Sir Douglas wears a mustache, but Is otherwise clean shaven.

The eleventh week of the laying contest at Storrs developed a big gain in egg yield. Altogether the
 hens laid 1893 eggs which is 312 bet ter than the preceding week and rel atively 848 better than for the cor responding week a year ago. While increased yields have been predict ed on account of the excellent cond1- ton of the birds and perhaps the somewhat miIder weather. still such a big gain was scarcely expeced.

an article of this tenor some years ago
in another anniversary edition, to ex-
press the hope that The Herald and

community and to the state Since
have known il, and as l have:read its
files prior to that time, it has sought
the path of duty and mas strlven to
follow it. 1t has labored for the up
building Of the community, and has tried
to pass by unnoficed the ingratitude
of any. 1t has rejoiced with those that
rejoiced, and it has mourned with
tnosc that mourned. It's columns have
carried the fragrance of the orange
bios oms that adorned the brow of the
bride. and the fragrance of the roses
of remembrance, twined with the i'm
nc tn11e of devotion, that wreathed
tne tomb. The effort has been to make
it's motley constructive rather than de-
structive. 1t has not feared 70 print

it; that it may continue ever to realize
its great responsibility, and to live up

Sad thoughts are conjured up by a

loyal and fearless soldier. Since the
war he has worked nearly the whole
time for The Herald and News. He
has pursued the even tenor of his way,
making an honest living, able to look
every man squarely in the eye. My
earnest nope is that he may be spared
yet many years Of usefulness.
Most Of the other Of my comrades Of
those days are in other fields.
Some have passed to the reward
eternal. To paraphrase thought
from the brilliant Dawson's tribute 10

Thomas Moore expressed the thoughts
of a great many of us when he penned

In rambling article such as this
it could hardly be attempted to trace
with any degree Of detail or accuracy
the course of the paper. The field is
so large that unless history were
written which would be tedious to the
reader, one could but wander around,
touching here and there, as memory
might recall.
Political Course Of the Paper.
When the Tillman movement began
as the nineties were approaching, The
Herald and News was lined up with
what was then known as the "Con-
servative" or anti-Tillman faction.
Written into its columns may be noted
its sympathy with the cause Of the
great masses of the people, but it
looked upon Tillman as too extreme
as dangerous man to lead the politi-
cal revolution which was bound to
come, and which would have come
with or without Tillman 1t was the
peoples movement, and not Tillman's
movement Tillman seized the oppor-
tunity. He sensed the spirit of unrest,
and he had the foresight and the abil-
ity to grasp and to cope with the situa-
tion. Later The Herald and News
modified it's views of MIN, in proportion
as he himself toned down" so to
speak, and cheerfully recognized his
character, his ability, and his qualities
Of leadership-in fact, became his sup
porter until the campaign of 1912
when his political course was not such
as to commend itself to the Herald
and News as fair and square dealing
between man and man, or between 3
leader and his people. The paper be-
Iieved then, and believes now, that his
conduct would have been different had
ne been as strong and vigorous as he
vas before his physical afiictioR.
Later a son of Newberry led move
ment which was very much on the or
der of the Tillman moyement-a man
who espoused the cause of the
masses of the people. The Herald and
News supported him, and during the
campaign prior to his election as gov
ernor was the only newspaper in
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1915-12-03

South Carolina which did. This news
paper has always supported the as
pirations of the sons of Newberry when
it could consistently do so, and now
looks back with pride upon it's course
when it stood battling alone among all
the newspapers Of the State, harshly
condemned by it's brethren of the
press, and fought at home, and some
times ostracized by its home people,
for taking the course which it felt to
be just and right. Have you ever read
Fox's beautiful story, 'YThe Trail of
the Lonesome Pine?" l have some
times compared in my mind The Her
aid and News in those days with the
lonesome pine" of that story with the
winds of animosity blowing about its
head and the lightning bolts of anger
falling about and striking its sides.
Some day an impartial writer, gifted
with insight and knowledge of condi
tions, may write the political history
of South Carolina during the past
three decades, and if he does, he will
draw a picture of contest between
masses on the one side who feel that
they are oppressed, that the government
is administered in the interest of the
favored few rather than of the great
body of the people who support and
maintain it, and that their right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of Rappi-
ness is abridged; and on the other side
those who somehow seem to feel that
the right to govern belongs with them,
who arrogate to themselves the priv
ilege of deciding questions of policy
and of right, and who are intolerant in
their egotism. Without discussing the
merits of the contentious of either side,
the fact is that this condition exists
1t was evident in the election and dur
ing the administration of Governor
Blease; it was evident in the recent
terrible tragedy in Charleston when
the opposing elements clashed. The
situation will work itself out in the
untrammelled rule of the people as
the cause of education progresses. And
The Herald and News has stood for
the cause of the people, for education,
for law and for justice, fighting for
the right as God gave it the light to
see the right.
This, however, is depression from
the subject.

Elks' Creed as penned by James Riley
Fordon OF the New York lodge, No. l,
and l feel that it would be a good
creed for the country editor, and am
going to suggest it as the creed for
the editor:
Believe in thyself as we'll as IN others,
Exalted be thine ideas of right.
