SENATOR PITTMAN
TEIECRAPHS RENO

II. A. Lennon, State campaign man.
ager OF the Liberty Loan committee
forwards the following telegram from
Senator Pittman. which is to be read
from the platform of the great Lib
erty Loan and Patriotic meeting at
Reno this evening:

! am deeply disappointed that uncom-
pleted official business has prevented
me from participating in your glori-
Gus patriotic appeal. l had arranged
to be present on the Gath had It been
possible to have held the meeting on
such date. as telegraphed you.
Il am, however, very happy that
you have invited me to participate TO
such an extent as conditions will per-
NIT. We are in this war to stay until
it is over. We have got to win or suf-
fer the fate of Belgium and Serbia.
We have got to win or cease to be a
republic. We have got to win or there
will be no hope of disarmament and
enduring peace. We have got to win
or be taxed for eternity to pay Ger
many's war debts and to support Ger
man militarism. We have got to win
or be the slaves of the most auto
cratic and bloodthirsty monarch that
ever defiled and debauched Christian
ity and civilization. OF course, we are
going to win. That victory may come
in one year. or Ii may be delayed for
several. II all depends upon you-the
American people. 1t depends upon
what we do now. Our men have nobly
dedicated their services and their
lives. but wars cannot be won with
soldiers alone. This is war of ma
chinery and mechanical instruments
OF death and destruction. The more
OF these We have the fewer soldiers
are required. The more of these we
have the greater will be the protection
OF our soldiers. We must maintain a
steady rain of shot and shell upon the
enemy trenches so that our boys will
not be slaughtered when they start

case with the troops of our allies in
the beginning of the war. Our death
rate decreases as our armament in
creases.
Our boys on the battle front are
calling to us for help Are we going
TO leave them there unarmed and un-
protected? Are we going to desert
them not? We are not! To end this
war in year and give our boys the
best possible protection will requires
billions of dollars. This enormous
sum can only be raised by every one
lending to the government every cent
that he can spare. II does not make
any difference what IL costs. Our
boys must have every protection that
we can give them. They are giving
their lives We can certainly make
some sacrifice and lend the govern
ment every dollar that is not actually
necessary in our everyday life. The
man who today has an idle dollar and
keeps IL. instead of lending II to his
government. is not only unpatriotic.
but will have upon his hands the blood
of many a soldier boy.

LEAGUE FOR :WOMAN'S
SERVICE ORGANIZED

1t was the pleasure of quite num-
Der OF women of this town to en-
JOY the splendid talk given by Miss
Jane B. Evans, of Florence, State
chairman Of National League for
Woman's Service. This was not
only interesting but instructive, and
as result Of the Information gained
therefrom, league was formed here
with the following officers: Mrs. w.
G. Houseal, chairman; Miss Blanche
Davidson, vice chairman; Miss Lu-
cile Wilson. treasurer; and Miss Anna
Dickert, secretary.
There was not ample time to go
into the details of organizations, so
all who are interested are requested
to meet again at the High School Tu-
esday morning at 10 o'clock. Those
having registration cards will please
bring them and those who have not,
come and get one, enlisting in this
league to do voluntary service Tor
our country in this great crisis.
Miss Evans told something of the
history Of this organization, the pur-
poses, the nine detachments for SER
vice and very clearly pointed out the
difference in this work and work for
the Red Cross Association.
The League for Woman's Service
was organized in January of this
year in Washington at a congress in
which there were 500 women present
to discuss how the women can best
serve their country in case of war.
At this congress Miss Parker, who
had been sent to England to study and
learn what the woman power of that
country had done, made her report.
This work was organized with an
idea not only for service in time OF
war, but for constructive service in
time of peace. This service is divid-
ed into nine detachments, a woman
being registered under her preference.
Among these are the social detach-
ment, which takes care of soldiers in
our midst or needy families of SOL
diers; the home economic detach-
ments in which special stress is laid
on the preservation O. food before
cooking. It was stated that much of
this food should be dried since cans
were becoming scarce There is also
economy of dress, entertainments, ETC.,
but the keynote of this Iaction is
"Save-save all you can in every
way you can. One may be registered
also for motor driving, telephone SER
vice, wireless telegraphy or for 7 in
dustrial work, and all clerical work.
The organization here was primarily
organized as an Industrial detachment:
to assist in making the $4,000 pillows
to be given to hospitals in France as
i gift from South Carolina. We trust
every woman, who can possibly do
! so, will fall in line and do her part
in the work.

the planting of this mill and the bring
ing in of the many people who are
necessary to make the wheels go
round and the spindles hum and the
looms rattle, gave to the community
not only a large commercial l advan-
tage, but good school, the equal OF
any in the State.
The mill has had its ups and downs
as all such manufacturing enterprises
have had, but for the last year along
with others it has had prosperous
season.
Mr.. Coleman has been kind to the
people who work in the mill and has
always looked after their welfare and
has become very much endeared to
them and they to him.
ANY movement for the betterment OF
the school or the uplift Of the COM
munity has always had his hearty en-
dorsement. When an extra tax was to
be voted for the school, though his cor
poration was the biggest taxpayer, it
had his endorsement.
The Herald and News was sorry
when it saw his resignation and that
he had disposed of his stock, and glad
when the statement was also mace
that he retained the right to redeem
the stock, because we hoped that ne
might do so.
We are not surprised that the oper-

which he will retain his stock or &C

SEVERAL NEWBERRY PEOPLE
LIVE IN CHESTERFIELD

Dear Mr.. e. H. A.
While 1, in speaking OF your ac-
count of your joy-ride with
our old time friend, Pollock,
failed to name the road of which
l spoke, you are correct in the
name. The road from Cheraw to
Wadesboro" goes by the farms you
named And through McFarlan and
four miles beyond you come to Nor
ven, and it will do you good to pass
over the section of road near Jones
Creek. curving with the shape of the
hills around and gradually down TO
the creek. 1t is master piece OF
road construction. If ever you nave
the pleasure of passing over it 40
not be uneasy, you will not meet your
self coming back before you reach the
creek. If you are on your job at the
wheel you will come out all right
You would be delighted with some
of .Wadesboro's buildings. The court
house, jail and county home, for IN
stance, and you need not rear to
speak the truth about what you
see. If you are accused just call on
me. think that We can get up a fair
line Of evidence for one of our New
berry county ladies recently visited
Marven and Wadesboro and New
berry man is now living in Marven.
1 think we can prove an alibi, at least.
Chesterfield is nice village and for
testimony thereto we may find it easily
as a lady from the city of Newberry
now is making it her home. Ches-
terfeld is located on a ridge between
Thompson creek Green river and
Indian creek, small stream. On the
west side of .Thompson's cheek from
the bridge to the foot of the hills is
now known as Jackson's Folly. l can
give some account of the origin OF
the name, but Mr. Pollack can do that.
By all means go back before the boys
leave Cheraw and visit Chesterfield,
Wadesboro and Marven.
Truly yours in praise of the old
home

GUARD AT BRIDGES
TO BE .W4THDRAWN
Commanding General Says State
Should Protect Larger Struc-
tures-Gomg to Styx.

The State.
Pointing out that no attempts have
been made to destroy bridges or pub
lie and private property by agents of
the enemy or cranks, Gen. Leonard
Wood, commanding the southeastern
department, has notified Gov. Man
ming that all National Guard units
are to be withdrawn at rne earliest
possible moment from guarding the
bridges. The regiments are TO be
sent to mobilization camps for train
ing. The order affects all of the
States of the Southeastern depart
ment.
The commanding general points
out that the larger bridges must be
protected and that this Will be the
duty of the States. A State con-
stabulary may be created or the
home guards may be used. This Is
problem which must be worked
out by the governor.
Col. P. K. McCully, commanding
the First regiment, had already re-
ceived such orders from Gen. Wood
and many posts at railway bridges
have been abandoned. The men are
to be mobolized at Camp Moore at the
earliest possible moment. The Sec
ond regiment will be called out July
) and will be sent Immediately from
their home stations to StyX.
