.. make them fght.-Saluda Standard
,, That's it. Spectators are causing
suffering. Repeat the slogan: jail
the spectators or make them fight
Send them to the trenches.
The Saluda Standard says that some
of the merchants are exacting wal
time profits, making it harder upon
the consumer and their customers
! which is apparent from the fact, ac'
cording to that paper, that there Is
wide margin in the retail price Of
the most staple articles at different
stores perhaps in the same block
The Standard advises it's readers moi
to buy from the merchant who at
tempts to take advantage OF this
critical situation.
Before the war" whenever there
was big fruit crop in Newberry ano
everybody wanted to can and preserve
blackberries, etc., sugar would take
a rise. Now that we are told tt
raise and can vegetables, look at tin
cans. "'TWas ever thus from child
hoods hour, I've seen my fondes,
hopes decay, l never loved tree OF
flower, but it was first to fade away
When cotton was five cents a pound
Door people could live, because 9TH
er prices were down in proportion.
A physician in Rock Hill, DR.. w
W. Fennell, was charged IN the re-
corder's court at that place with per-
mitting his chickens to run at large
but the case was dismissed because
the doctor had been granted permis-
sion to turn his chickens loose, as
we see by the Rock Hill Record. SO
Rock Hill is another city where there
is a law against chickens running at
large. If We had such in NeWberry
it would be devil of a law to per-
nit certain persons to allow tnelr
chickens to violate it.
The first episode of the crimson
Stain Mystery" advertised for the
opera house Monday will be used
Tuesday (today) and every Tuesday
hereafter. Manager Wells received
telegram only Monday from the At
lanta Exchange stating that some ex-
hibit.r had switched labels making
the change in date for Newberry from
Monday to Tuesday necessary. This
is a serial and you should see the
beginning so as to keep up with the
play.
AS the reporter wrote a little para
graph that attracted attention a week
or so ago we here quote from Sun
day newspaper a remark by Billy
Sunday that bears on our meaning:
"The American people don't need to
be blindfolded. Let us know where
we are going, let us know how we
are being jeopardized-if we are
and we'll go ahead to the last ditch.
But we don't want to tight with the
binders on" That is all there was
to it. If there is anything unpatriot-
ic we don't know it. All the same 1t
is our opinion.
Three citizens from Newberry-Mr.
and Mrs. P. B. ,Asbill and MIR. o. A.
Lominick-had the pleasure of at
tending a marriage and taking part
in the feast IA fine old-time country
spread) Sunday night. The occasion
was the marriage Of Miss Mary LON
mick and Mr.. Luther Folk, both Oh
the St. Phillips community. Ine
ceremony, performed by the Rev. s.
P. Koon, and the infair, took place
at the home of the brides parents
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Lomfnick, the
marriage being at seven o'clock. The
Groom is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
E. Folk. Another citizen of NeWoer-
rv. Mr.. H. D. Adams, was fortunate
in participating. He carried the otn-
ers from the city there in an auto
mobile. They say the feast was ex-
ira good. 1t would make too many
people hungry these hard times 10
mention the menu.
Nav Fix Prices on Food Stuns.-
Headline in Newspaper. The govern
ment had better fix prices on Iooo
stuffs, or do something, and do II
ohick. else there will soon be dill
ferent sort of war than that raging
in Europe and approaching America.
There are men right here in New
berry ready to form another Ku Klux
Klan against the thieves VINO are
growing rich on the food stufs tnal
Door people are suffering for. IL Is
outrageous that the man who IS get
ting a small salary or wages has to
spend every cent for something to
eat when he needs money to pay
rent, etc., and buy clothes. Some
thing ought to be done and must be
done Before the masses starve there
will be war, because they know there
is food and also money in the c coun-
try. Food is being housed to create create
a scarcity and capitalists are coming
millions while widows and orphans
and others are suffering. Would that
We had a leader in the nation tna
could rally the masses to demand OF
nresident and congress reile1 IA
such a loud call that 1t Woulo maAe
the nation tremble.
