WHY NOT START 4
CORN CLUB IN NEWBERRF

Mr.. E. H. Aull, Newberry. S. C., Dear
Mr.. Aull:
AS you know that we are in war
and our country is going to need all
the help that we can give, so there is
lot of talk Of planting something
to eat in which l think is the right
idea but why can't every farmer III
this county plant one-half acre OF
corn for every one-horse farm ana
give to our government. Now | don't
mean to take what land we intend
to plant, but plant that much extra
for that purpose to be worked spare
time, that We go to town Saturday
afternoon, stay at home.
You know the government will nave
horses to feed and If every man IN
this county and others would do thai
and deliver it this fall at Newoerry
to be shipped wherever wanted, 1t
would be a big thing.
I did not want any war, but We are
going to have war anyway and we
all can't go. 80 I think we ought
to do something to make it easier FOR
them that have to fight. So / foS
one, am willing to do something. why
not start a corn club and see how
many are ready to start the bali
rolling.
Very respectfully,
J. G. HALLE,
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-04-24

That would be a good thing and an
incentive to the farmer to grow more.
There will be demand for all that
our farmers can grow, but we must
provide some way of marketing for
them and for preserving the perish
ables. The farmer as a rule is not
a business man and that part Of the
program should be locked after by
the business man. 1t is more impor-
tant than the hot air which has been
let loose and that which is yet to
come, in advising the farmer what to
do.
The marketing idea is a good one,
war or no war. The Herald and
News talked about the Importance OF
it several years ago and tried to get
some OF our business men to take
hold of the matter then. NoT' it ,s
imperative, if we want to get more
food stuffs grown.

TO THE COLORED, CITIZENS
OF NEWBERRi COUNTY

At meeting OF prominent colored
ago at the call of Governor Manning,
| was selected as chairman for my
county to organize and conduct the
campaign for food production and
food conservation among the negro
race.
The call has come from the nation
al government for South Carolina
to produce more foodstuffs and thus
help the country to win the war. The
food supplies of the nation are low
er than ever before and the very linz
tied food reserves Will be needed to
supply England, France and Italy
and thus allow them to continue to
fight successfully Large quantities
of foodstuffs Will also be required
for the army and the navy Of this ma
ton. This war cannot be fought out
successfully and quickly without d
very great increase in food produc-
ton in the United States. The drain
upon the national food reserves which
South Carolina is making must be
stopped for we are interfering with
the successful conduct Of the war
by helping to exhaust the nations
food supply. Every man. woman ana
child in the State Of both races mus:
be shown that it is their duty not
cnlv to produce all the food they can
but to refrain from all food waste.
am authorized to appoint pre-
paredness committee, and I am CALI
ing a meeting for next Saturday,
April 18th, at / o'clock p. M, in the
city of Newberry at the Baptist
church, Of all the prominent citizens,
the preacher, the leader, the teacher.
and in fact all who feel interested IN
this great movement. Committees
will be appointed from each town

munity
We are trying to secure DR.. J. j..

ored Baptist State convention and

Quoted by the Rev. Edward Fulen-

of "Our Educational Institutions
Dr. J. Henry Harms. president OF

told how the Newberry college had
contributed to the ranks of the Lead
ers In the country and asked the un-
divided support of the church. al
though he said that he believed that
the Lutherans were more loyal TO
their colleges than some of the other
denominations we're to theirs" This
is keeping the record straight.

WHITMIRE Young MANKIND
HEARS CALL TO ARM
editor The Herald and News:

Editor The Herald and News:
In the early part OF 1861, when L
was but years old, remember very
distinctly going with my father 10
NeWberry court house At that time
the clouds of the civil war were gath
ering thick for the on coming storm
which lasted four years.
remember going to the outskirts
of town to see the first company that
was organized in NeWberry county
drill Capt. Walkers company.
Memories of events that occurred
from that day until April, 1865, Will
always cluster around my heart. For
four years, with a boyish anguish,
l watched the young manhood OF my
community go and come from tAe
battle fields Of Virginia. Oh! how
sad, some have never returned to
greet their loved ones who were
waiting and watching for their re-
turn. God grant that they may meet
some sweet day beyond the river.
Now, in the evening OF life when
my head has grown gray by the
frosts OF 65 winters, l find my native
country in a state of war with a for
eign country The clouds OF war are
gathering thickSand fast. The young
manhood OF oaff county are becon-
ing excited and enlisting to meet the
approaching cohAct.
A few nights ago quite number
OF the citizens of Whitmire, with the
Whitmire Band went to the county
seat on social visit, just an outing.
After he band had made some sweet
music l was called on to make some
remarks. Among other things l
said, III view OF the approaching war
with Germany, whenever the Amerl-
can flag waved or foated against
foreign foe, that the young manhood
of Whitmire would be there to DO
their part.
To some extent my assertion has
been verified. Within the last 10
days .25 or 80 young men from the
town of Whitmire have enlisted ana
have been accepted to defend the
American flag
The following young men from the
town Of Whitmire have enlisted IN
Capt. Henry C. Tillman's company Of
coast artillery: Hassell Miller,
Claude Gillian, Jim Scott, Tom
Young, Jake Adams, Tom Scott, Ear
nest Young, Elmore Suber, Guy Shan
non, Otis Suber, and Herndon An
drews who failed to pass the ply
sicalexamination on account OF some
defect Of the teeth. All the others
mentioned above passed all right.
Coleman Gary, Pryor Orr and J. W.
Gary have sent in their names ana
will 20 to Greenwood to stand the
physical examination. l have no
doubt but what they will pass all
right. Ali these boys are giving up
good jobs to serve their country in
time Of war.
4 patriotic spirit seems to pervade
our town and community. The en-
ployers OF these young men have as
sured them that their Jobs will be
open to them when the war is over.
Cant. Tillman of Greenwood is ex-
Meeting to muster his company into
service soon. The Whitmire boys
will hear the call as soon as joe
Shealy takes it from the wire and
will respond with alacrity.

COURT PLASTER GERMS

The Federal Government after care
full investigation have issued warn
ing to the general, public against pur-
chasing court plaster from itinerant
peddlers. Court plaster should be
purchased only from known and reput-
able merchants who can guarantee its
safety for use.
The reason for the foregoing warn
ing lies in the fact that some of the
court plaster investigated was found
to be infected with tetanus germs.
This court plaster might or might not
have been purposely infected and it
might or might not have been done by
German sympathizers or agents The
main point is that having been warned
the only safe course is to heed the
warning and to refrain from using
court plaster salves, ointments OF
any other medicine for external or in
ternal use that has been obtained from
strangers or peddlers.
Forty men in an Erie Railroad Con-
struction Camp at Niles, Ohio, were
poisoned by drinking water from a
well into which had been dropped q
perforated box containing poison pre-
sumably by stranger who had visited
the camp representing himself to be q
United States Inspector. The vel
was cleaned and the box containing
the poison was found in bottom of the
well tied to a brick This incident is
mentioned for the purpose of EN-
phasizing the necessity for taking al
possible precaution. Take no chances
