Committee uurged Immediate Con-
tributions of Funds.
AL New England people are urged
to contribute funds at once for the
purchase Of new clothing and shoes
for the Belgians. In no other way can
relief be so quickly and securely CIV
en- to these people. The New England
Belgian Relief Fund has thoroughly
investigated their needs, and the
methods of meeting them, and it is
satisfied that whatever we send will
actually reach the war sufferers. We
shall adopt the suggestions of Mr..
Herbert C. Hoover, Chairman Of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
who has just visited this country.
Without this help three millions of
people will go without clothes and
without shoes the coming winter.
Cloth can be sent, as it is now pos
sible to have this made up into clothes
in Belgium by destitute Belgian work.
men, who are thus given employment.
Second hand goods are no longer
wanted, as the regulations of foreign
governments forbid their entry into
Holland and Belgium.
Arrangements are being perfected
for purchase and transportation, free
of cost to US, and we feel safe in
assuring the people of New England
that we can do what we undertake.
President Wilson has cordially ap-
proved this relief work and appointed
a supplementary committee to help.
The Commission for Relief in Rel
GUM and other agencies are absolute
ly taking care of the needed supply of
food, and we are especially requested
to concentrate our efforts in the direc-
ton Of clothing and shoes.

guage, and from what little recollec-
ton l have of constitutional law when
l was admitted to the bar, too long ago
to be of any interest at this time, t1is
part OF the constitution will prevent
the legislature from paving Co.. Man
ming back the money i-e borrows to
pay the rec thousand dollars in
/ crease in the salary of the sUperiG-
tendent of the asylum.
1 am sure when Gov Manning sees
tbs, he will Immediately change ais
mind about this increase in salary,
for he has said tat he has no inten-
tion of even attempting to eVade the
constitution, much less, would he in
tentionally do so.
l nope that 1 will not be accused
of fault finding and poking at Gov.
Manning in writing the above, for it
is written in a kind spirit. 1t would
be pretty 1ard on Gov Manning to go
ahead without knowing anything about
tie constitution and borrow the money
and then to find out when it is too
late, that the legislature can not, IN
der the constitution, pay it back to
nim, and even if the legislature tried
to do it, for tie supreme court to step
in and say that it can not be done.
Then Gov. Manning would have to pay
! it himself, and it would take just tie
amount he receives as his governors 5
salary, each month to pay his new
superintendent of the asylum. And,
; by the way, have seen it written
somewhere that the salary allowed by
law to tie superintendent of the asy-
lum is the same as the salary of our
/ governor, $4,000 year, and now the7
propose to make it double the salary
of the governor, or $4,000 a year.
It's all right, though, suppose, for
in some peoples estimation, The
King can do no wrong" T. I.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS.

There is no greater work in which
we could engage than the training Of
tee children in the Sunday school
The Sunday schools are the feeLers Of
the churches. From the Sunday school
to the church the step is an easy one,
But for tie churches and the Sunday
schools we would soon be back to the
dark ages. Then the Sunday schools
and the churches should have our
most hearty support and encourage
ment.
We are to Lave with US this week
representatives from all the Sunday
schools of the State regardless of de-
nominational lines. Newberry extends
a cordial greeting and most hearty
welcome to these Christian workers
and will do all in the power of her
citizenship to make the meeting a
great success. We feel honored in
the presence of t:ese consecrated
workers in our midst, and we feel sure
the good influences that will be set
in motion during their stay will go
on and on for days to come after they
are gone to their respective field OF
labor.
Newberry people have long been
noted for their generous hospitality
and on tits occasion will again have
the opportunity to demonstrate it. That
our people will measure up to tne
standard heretofore set no one doubts
We welcome these workers to o'lE
midst.

any claim under any contract not au-
t, orized by law Now, don't know
much about the Englisil language,
am willing to grant. but that seems
to NE to be very plain and simple, and
if the legislature should pay this claim
fer service rendered, which the gov
ernor says he is going to advance per
sonally, it would be violation of this
instrument about wi1ic- | have been

great constitutional lawyer, and, there
fcre, humbly suggest to the governor
ti,at he get his legal adviser to con-
,strue this section before he oDligates
himself expecting the legislature to
reimburse him. And l do it out of IT, e
goodness and bigness of my heart, with
no purpose to interfere or to criticise.
| know the governor does not desire

The following is from late Issue
of tie Charlotte Observer and con-
tains so much truth that We feel that
we will be justified in reproducing it
( ere. And the newspaper publishers
are themselves largely to blame fer
the lack of appreciation of value which
is placed upon their only c2andise
the space they have to sell, by the
public, because these same newspaper
publishers themselves do not put the
proper value upon it. Many a pub
Usher of a weekly paper gives away
every issue from twenty to thirty
copies of his paper, refusing to accept
pay for them. If he sold them he
would charge 5 cents each. Some
people would think him stingy and
mean if lie charged for paper and
yet they would not think of going to
any store and taking a cigar without
paying for it. But the newspaper, it
seems, is expected to do lot of this
community work without pay and
sometimes without acknowledgment
of the service
Every mail brings newspapers va
rious and numerous kinds of matter
VITA requests to publish. This mat
ter comes from every source imagin-
able, from the United States govern
ment down to private individuals.
Some of it is good mater, but tie
greater portion is some sort of q.
free-advertising scheme. Any news
paper, this one anyway, is glad tc
get any kind of legitimate news, but
it is appalling to note how many
people want the newspaper, especially
the county newspaper, to boost and
advertise their private business for
them-gratis, of course. Speaking
along this line, the following, credited
to ex-Gov. Francis, of Missouri, is Of
interest:
"'Each year tie local paper gives
from $500 to $1,000 in free lines %
the community in which it is located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor in proportion to his means,
does more for his town than any otner
ten men, and in all fairness he ougs5
to be supported, not because you like
MIN or admire lis writings, but be-
cause the local paper is the best in
vestment a community can make. 1t
may not be brilliantly edited or crowd
ed with thought, but financially it is
of more benefit to the community taan
the preacher or teacher. Understand
me, I do not mean mentally, and yet
on moral questions you will find most
of the papers on the right side. Todar
the editor of the local papers do tie
most for the least money Of any peo-
pie on earth"

A CONNECTS LOVE OF HOME.

Reedy Vance, an Arkansas convict,
who has served nearly Is years OF a
2O-year sentence for murder, and who
was pardoned on condition d:at ne
leave the State, has returned the par
don with a note in which he writes:
"If am,not fit to stay in Arkansas
then I am not fit to be turned OUT
Unless Vance is granted an unre-
stricted pardon he will remain in the
penitentiary for two years and one
month longer.
Love of his native seath is strong
in the breast of man VINO is willing
to give two years of his life to his
State as a convict rather than leave
the home of his youth. Vance has
been Iteralded as bad man. and his
most ardent well-wisner can hardlr
approve his career, but it seems tha.
he has the courage Of his convictions.
Anderson Mail.
And there is something more in a
man than the courage of his conNic-
tions who can stand up and refuse els
freedom and express such sentiments.
Love of. native heath is what makes d
nation great, and a people who do not
possess it to "a marked degree can
never build great nation or become
great people. Love of the fatherland
is what makes the German such a
great soldier. And love of the father
land must have its origin and founda-
ton in love of the home.
If we were governor of that State
we would take a chance on this man
having become changed and a better
man, and we would give him his lib
erty and Ills citizenship, and at least
lend our encouragement in the making
of a good citizen. In fact, we never
did believe in that policy pursued by
some governors OF granting pardons
and paroles on condition that the party
leave the State. There may be pecu-
liar circumstances which make it ad-
visable, but as rule it is not wise
plan, according to our judgment.
Punishment under our laws and I'm
Der the divine law IS not simply for
the sake Of punishment. II by pun
ishment you can reform the person
and make a better citizen Of him then
it is no use for longer conhnement
simply for the sake of physical or
even mental suffering. That is the
way it appears to US. To continue to
inflict punishment after this simply
because you nave tie power is nothing
more nor less than the manifestation
of the brute force that is in US and
for the time being holding sway
over US.

this lawyer has to say:
