Some time ago Mr.. Partlow Neal
took his family from Newberry, going
to Savannah, Ca, bidding farewell
to his friends here and to the scenes
and incidents of his former home. Il
was a quiet move amid the ordinary
changes of human life Lingering in
the memory Of her friends was the
picture of his little daughter Margar-
ct, a pretty girl who retained the
love and sympathy Of many Of the
citizens Of this place. In Green
wood there lieved during this time,
and still lives, young man, Mr..
Herbert Griffin, who was the young
girls sweetheart before she left New
berry. Word came to this city tina;
the two were married in Savannah
last Thursday and would pass
through Newberry Saturday on t hei.
way to their home in Greenwood. Ac-
cordingly crowd or frtendS were al
the depot and had the pleasure of see
ing the happy couple and extending
congratulations and we'll wishes to
the mated pair. Thus passes into

we hope for present time and many
succeeding years may remain bright

WORLD FACES "A, COTTON
FAMINE, SAYS sen. SMITH

Washington, Aug. 21.-"The world
faces cotton famine. There is not
enough for America alone"
Senator E. D. Smith, of South Car
DINA, the cotton expert of the senate,
made this statement this afternoon
replying recent statement in the
record by Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, that far too much cotton
was finding its way to Germany By
way of the neutrals, and was being
made into German shells with which

chusetts senator had it put in the
record.
'"The milk in the cocanut is this"
said Senator Smith. ssfetaoishrdlet
in 1916 was 100000 bales. The
consumption was 21,ooo,0oo ales. The
surplus of 1913 and 1914 was used
in the years of 1915 and 1916"
He said with great emphasis that
the neutrals had received in 1916
four million bales less than in the
prewar years.
"The figures in the record were
entirely wrong and misleading said

COAL FOR
CONSUMER is AIh
Ii Price Fixing Plans Fail Fuel VIII
Be Taken Over at Mines and Of
tered to Public

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Cheaper coal
for the American householder will be
one of the first aims of the new tue.
administration as set forth tonight
by DR.. Garfield its head. A scale
of profits for the retailer was sus-
gested as an early possibility in the
governments program for complete
control of the coal industry.
If the price fixing plans fail, the
government will not hesitate to ed
force provisions of the food bill CIV
ing it authority to requisition coaI at
the mines and sell it to the public
generally.
Cali the machinery given me will
be used to enforce the prices named
by President Wilson, said DR.. Gar
field. "Our purpose will be to secure
all the benefits contemplated in the
act and the fuel control put into forcs
will insure a reduction to the COLI
sumer. Any person who thinks this
will not mean q reduction in retail
er's profits will And he is mistaken .
Can Not Go Higher
The government will not permi:
ccal dealings at prices higher than
those named by the president, on tss
grounds Of existing contracts unless
it is proved that the contracts are
bona 6de.
Regulations governing coal trans
actions probably will be made public
within few days. They will pro-
vide for a licensing system for opera
tors and jobbers and for an exten-
sion of the system to retail transac-
tions if retail prices are fixed.
The coal regulations to be issuer
will carry specific measures to deal
with distribution and apportionment.
The intention is to distribute coal
first in communities in which it Is
most needed and to prevent the prac-
tice of duplicating freight hauls.
Purchasers will be required to buy
coal at mines nearest and an operator
in Indiana will not permit to sell in
Pennsylvania where an eastern mine
could serve the particular customer
with a shorter freight haul.

opposed to the theory that the prop
er way to deal with the chap, why
doesn't agree with you IS to stick a
knife between his ribs.
But do believe in doing we'll what
one undertakes to do.
Since America, in company with
the other nations of the world, has
forsaken Christ and devoted its en-
ergies to the business of Staying, the
mortal gods of consistency and efll-
cheney demand that she do the Joo
thoroughly and effectively.
The efficient and effective way u
conduct war is to forsake all other
interests, hopes, plans and ambitions;
sidetrack honor, liberty, morals and
conscience; and slay without let or
hindrance
If government purposes doing
this JOB We'll, the theory and pra%'
tice of democracy must be forgot
ten; a dictator must be placed IN
charge; those who openly oppose the
government must be killed without
hesitation; those who speak against
the governments policies must be
imprisoned; newspapers that are not
with the government heart and soul
must be suppressed.

MORE MEN IN FIELD
IS ANSWER TO PEACE
President Wilson Believed to Have
Outlined His Answer 10 the
Pope's Proposal for Peace
By Irwin Barbour,

By Irwin Barbour,
Staff Correspondent OF the Interna
tional News Service.
Washington. Aug. 21.-January
has been tentatively set for the sec
ond draft; the number of men to be
called will be approximately 100000
This, learned in War Department
circles today, is answer to the ques-
ton: What will President Wilson
reply to the pope's peace proposal?
With the allies striking on every
front, the United States, through the
officials charged with carrying on the
the war-let drop sufficient hints to-
day of preparations for the future -
make it plain that there is little hope
fos peace in administration circles
at this time.
Indications were that President
Wilson, through the State Department:
has been in touch with the entente
governments and that the basis on
which answer to the pope will oe
made has been decided upon. 1t q,

line and only details remained to De
