CUBA ENTERS FIGHT
BESIDE BIG FRIEND

Habana, April Cuba, not yet ont
of her teens as a republic, is at war
with Germany-the first of the Latin
American countries to range herself
alongside the United States, her lib
orator and protector.

affixed his signature to the joint reso-
luton passed unanimously late this

house without dissenting voice being
raised, thus putting into effect the
declaration that state of war exists

solemnity. The resolution was read.

NEGRO'S SUDDEN DEATH
BLIND TIGER DRlNkER

Last Thursday evening while Mag
istrate Constable Henry D. Havird
was riding by the Johnstone woods
along Johnstone street he saw man
living on his back on the sidewalk
He Jumped from his buggy and went
to assist the man, who was ADner
DeWalt, colored. Mr.. Havird got
sone boys to turn DeWalt on his side
and then sent for DR.. F. K. Shealy,
but the man died before DR.. Shealy
could be of assistance.
That was the substance Of the con-
stables testimony at the inquest held
Thursday night by Coroner Lindsay
at the undertaking establishment or
P. f. Baxter and Son, where the body
was taken for the inquest and to be
prepared for burial. Upon the autop-
sy of the dead body Drs. F. K. Shealy
and P. G. Ellesor found that death
was caused by edema Of lungs Sec
ondary to heart disease"
In accordance with the evidence OF
the witness and the certificate OF the
physicians the jury found that death
was due to natural causes. The fol-
lowing were the members of the
Jury: DR.. p. E. Way, Henry Play
er E. A. Dickert, P. C. Jeans, II. D.
Havird, Jno. H Baxter.
DeWalt was subject 70 spells and
was foaming at the mouth when ne
died. 1t is said he was heavy drink
er and would drink the meanest sor;
of blind tiger liquor, which is enough
to kill any man.

We notice that Col. VIM. Banks,
president of the State Press assocla-
ton. has issued an address to the
newspapers of the State to do their
part in a campaign Of economic pre-
paredness, and suggests that they
will, And of course they will. He
says:
The success of this propaganda will
depend very largely upon the news
papers of the State. Without their
help very little could be done. 1t Is
impossible for the newspaper men OF
the State to shoulder arms for their
country, but they are permitted to do
their bit, and this appears to me to
be one way of aiding our country.
Now we do not know just why 1t
is impossible for the newspaper men
to shoulder arms" for their. country,
but the statement is in keeping with
what we have said all along, that
those who were urging war were 60
ing to be the last to shoulder arms"
and fight the battles. 1t is like Mr.
Kitchin said: ut takes neither NOR
al nor phySlcal courage 10 oeclaTe
war for others to fight" WE have
offered our services to the president
to be wherever and in whatever ca
pacity he may be able to use us. ano
we did not favor war and would have
voted against it if we had had vote
We did not know it was impossible
for the newspaper men to do this. We
would not like to be sent to the
trenches across the seas, but if SO
we'll and good. "Me and Bryan are
the only two really big men in private
life that we have heard of who have
offer I'd to serve in any capacity that
the president may be able to use u.s.
If it is impossible" for newspaper
men to shoulder arms why then We
cannot be used, and Mr.. Buryan will
have to go alone.

While the city is passing ordinances
why not pass one requiring all driv-
ers of vehicles of any kind to keep
to the right? There would be less
danger of accidents. Of course, we
have not yet had any serious COILS
ions but they will come. And why
not take down the slow down to -four
miles an hour" signs and repeal the
ordinance if there is one. Then every
one would know that he had to look
out for himself, and not have him
expecting protection from this sign?
One big car ran into another big car
at one of these crossings few days
ago. Fortunately no serious dam
age resulted. But driving on any
side and at 20 70 40 miles the hour
around these corners, the fellow who
is careful is in danger.

BIG TAKERS NOT GOOD FIGHT.

AS a rule the most belligerent are
not the men who are the best fighters
when the real test comes. They are
about the last fellows to shoulder
their shooting irons and march to the
front The writer remembers man
who when the war between the
States was coming on was the great
est war lord in that part of the coun-

up the side of his hat and fasten on
it what was called a cockade. He
was for fighting the Yankees and
whipping them right now. He was
the man who above all others was
for no concessions. He talked and
showed signs of fight until the real
crisis came. The day that the row
started. and Fort Sumter was fred

SEVERAL NOTABLE FEATURES
on NEWBERRY'S BIG PROGRAM

The announcement Of the big Red
path programme for our city, Wnicn
opens May 9Th, will create much IN
terest in Newberry and vicinity. Ihe
big features on the program all point
to an even higher standard OF excel
lence than the high calibre OF attrac-
tions presented in former years on
this Redpath de luxe circuit, which
contains 12O of the best and largest
cities from Jacksonville, Fla, to chi
cago. The great creatore and MS
band: Mikado Light Opera company,
an ali star cast of thirty people, with
Miss Way Valentine, director OF the
orchestra; Oratorio Artists with
Reed Miller, Americas well known
tenor. a South Carolina boy; Charles
Gallagher, eminent basso OF New
York city, in song recital. The above
mentioned are but a few OF the big
attractions. Two numbers that de-
serve special mention for their un-
usualness as well as their merit, are
Princess Watahwaso and FTauleln
Marie Mayer The one tells OF the
sea, the woods, and peaceful winding
streams. She tells of the hunt, and
the camp fire around which were re-
lated the beautiful weird tales that
for a haunting chasm give the In
dian legends a place occupied by NO
other literature. Princess WatahWaso
is a true Indian princess, the daugn-
ter of the chief of the Penobscot tribe
CT Maine.
The other tells of the snow-capped
alps, mad rushing torrents, and shad-
owy valleys. She describes the quaint
little village of Oberammergau, where
in solitude and quiet the citizens have
learned to know God even as the red
man knew his Great Spirit. AS the
Mary Magdalene of the 1910 Passion
Play, Miss Mayer held the highest

There are those of course who are
criticising Fred Dominick for his vote
against the war resolution. Inc
Greenyille News says it does not be-"
lieve that this vote represents a ma
iority of the voters OF the tnlrd ols-
trict. and that it was party meas
ure and should have been supported
by the party, and there are others
who say that the congressman should
have voted with the president.
It is not a party measure because
republicans and democrats voted toT
if and members Of both parties voted
against it. AS we have stated about
CONGRESSMAN Kitchin, it took more
moral courage and more real MANHOOD
to vote against the resolution than II
did to follow the crowd and vote for
it, and we honor the man who had
the courage to vote his honest con-
yictions in the face of the criticism
which he knew would follow, more
than We do the man who voted Tor
it because of fear of this very crlt1-
cism and we are satisfied that sucn
was the case with number Of votes
that were cast. They We're swept
with the hurricane of emotion.
There are a few very small callbre
people who are saying that Mr.. Dom
mick voted that way because OF
Bleaseism and because it was against
the position of Gov. Manning. This
sort of talk is not worthy of notice.
What did the other forty-nine who
voted against the resolution know
about Manning or Blease?
As to the sentiment of the third
district, of course, we have no way
of knowing what that is, but we be-
lieye if referendum had been taken
before the resolution was adopted
that at least IS per cent OF the votes
would have been against war. Now
that the die is cast it might be dlf-
ferent, because there are always lot
of people who like to drift with the
stream and who follow the way OF
least resistance. And besides, the
thing now is done. And all OF us
will stand by the government and the
president. And yet we have seen or
heard of no great rush in the matter
of enlistment for the fight. That Is
what is wanted now 1t looks as #
there will have to be conscrlptlon to
raise the army. If the sentiment had
been so strong in favor of war 1t
does seem that there would have been
more enlistments.
