men In various walks of life in all
parts OF the South and with all other
manifestations of public opinion OF
the South constantly in view.
II include In this my knowledge
that the employees OF Southern Rail-
way Company who are involved, and
who still have my respect and whose
welfare 10 Of the utmost personal con-
Germ to me. have not had reason to
be and In fact have not been discon-
tented as a class.
II did not take action hastily or
with prejudice. but after my own best
with fun consciousness OF my respon-
sibility. The easiest course would
have been TO have accepted the pro-
posals made to the railways, to have
waived the principle Of arbitration
and to have imposed heavy. new,
and In my opinion. unnecessary bur-
den on southern commerce. with the
inevitable consequence of postpone
ment OF the full development OF the
railways for the largest service Of
the whole people OF the South. o..
There are some who believe that
immediate and temporary peace at
such a price is desirable. ! am not
one OF them-though God knows
am for peace--and have no Illusions
as to what industrial war means
when threatened on the scale OF the
present crisis.
I'm my Judgment the time has come
| to test again whether the American
people are to be governed by pnregu-
lated force or by law.
II risk my own reputation on that
issue and ] count on the support OF
all sound and conservative opinion
In the South to counsel patience and

ST. LOUIS. Aug. So.-ReJected for en-

the trigger" and middle fingers were
missing from his right hand. Ebert
Harlan. a raw-boned applicant from
Oklahoma, went from the recruiting
station In the Fullerton building. to a
shooting gallery nearby and made twen-
ty-five straight hits on moving target
with a email calibsr rife. while the
sergeant who had rejected him looked
on.
Il can shoot better with my little
finger than some men can with their
trigger fingers" Harlan said after his
performance at the gallery. and I can
not understand why you won't take

The marine sergeant explained that a
hand minus several fingers would look
bad when encased in white gloves. and
that the loss Of the fingers would SER
iously interfere with the proper hand

is about the roughest portion of the

that leaves Chaplin out which is much
better and no further. 1t strikes the

1t seems now that the road from
Spartanburg to Clinton is going to be
built. Newberry was invited to send
q representative to the preliminary
meeting in the interest of the build
ing of this road which was held a.
Cross Anchor a short time ago. The
editor of The Herald and News asked
Mayor Wright to have. some one look
after Newberry at this meeting and
gave him several papers containing
information about the project. The
plan was to build from Spartanburg
to Cross Anchor and via Whitmire
on to Newberry. Newberry was not
represented and we suppose the pro-
moters concluded that we were lndlt-
ferent and they would not bother
with us. We'll, we are satisfied and
contented with our noble selves and
of course there is no prospect of fur
ther growth so long as that state OF
mind exists. A few years ago, at
least within the memory Of some now
living in Newberry, the Seaboard
wanted to come this way, but we sat
down and virtually said that the road
is not going to be built and we don't
want you any way. 1t went around
US and is one of the great systems
of the South. If you are satisfied
with yourself and your town then
there is no chance for further growth
Or development so long as that state
of mind exists.

Tuesday, June 6, 1916.

We notice now and then that the
papers state that towns like Green
vile pass an ordinance occasionally.
Wonder if ,Newberry has a license
ordinance. And if the ordinance to
REQUIRE automobiles to stop at GER
tain street crossings provides that
the car shall stop after crossing or if
it shall stop on the street that it is
crossing. We have observed that
very frequently the stop is made right
in the center of the street that the
car is crossing. Well, we suppose
that council takes it for granted that
any driver of a car would nave
enough sense not to stop on the cen
ter of the street he is crossing, be-
cause if he did and there was car
coming down the street he was eros
sing it would then give him cen
ter drive. In this day we have to tell
people lust what to do and just now
to do il by some sort of law or statute.

The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier states that Mr.. w
a. Stuckey of Bishopville may be
candidate for governor, and that
statement is made in connection with
a statement that there was a confer
ence of the friends of the State
warehouse system, leaving the i'm
preston that it was decided at this
conference to have Mr.. Stuckey run
as the champion of the State ware
house. In fact, it is stated that cit IS
thought the candidacy of Mr.. Stuckey
was discussed" at the meeting. We
have the information that it was not
even mentioned.
Mr.. Stuckey is nice young man
and large farmer, but he has no
chance in the world of being elected
governor this year If he should en-
ter the race he will simply waste his
time and money it costs him to make
the race. We believe that Mr.. Stuckey
is a man of too much good common
sense to enter the race at this time.
