We just forgot all about the citi-
zens meeting for Tuesday night. II
was not largely attended, so the Sec
retary states, who was kind enough
to furnish US the minutes Of the meet
ing. The minutes cover everything
that was done except the hot air that
was turned loose and We are longing
to see something done rather than to
see the expenditure of so much ener-
gy that is not worth while. I'VE
should have known long ago that ii
it was the desire to assess abutting
property to pave the streets that 1t
would take an amendment TO the con-
stitution, because we have been Vot-
ing such amendments for other towns
and cities for several years. We are
sorry that nothing can be done to
pave the streets of the city at this
time Procrastination is not only the
thief of time but of many other things.
There is now a red flag waving in
one of the prominent streets of the
city which indicates danger. We sup
pose danger to travel over it for fear
you may be stcuk in the mud. And
this is not the only place where the
red flag should be stationed But let
US hope that We will wake up from
our dreams of self satisfaction some
Of these days and move forward.

NEUTRALITY.

Some weeks ago, the following
paragraph appeared in the Jackson
Vile Times-Union, one OF the most
ABLY edited and Independent newspa-
pers in this country:
1t is said in Washington-on what
authority We know not-that Secre-
tary Lansing will probably reply that
an embargo on exports would be a
breach of neutrality. This is abso-
lutely absurd. We don't ship goods to
Germany because the British do not
permit US to and neutrality would
prompt US to stop shipping goods to
England because the Germans don't
permit US to. Each side proposes to
do all in it's power to prevent us from
trading with the other. To accept the
measures that one has adopted and
quit trading with it's enemy and to
fight rather than accept the measures
the other has adopted is not neutral
ity. Neutrality would prompt us to
conduct our legal trade with both or
neither"
There is nothing to add to that par
agraph. If this country fight for Eng
land because of racial ties, it's course
will be unwise but respectable. That
is really what is pushing this country
into war, but the motive is not openly
and frankly. acknowledged-it is
swathed in hypocrisy. If our course
az to Germany has been neutrality,
may God save this country from ever
experiencing similar neutrality
Greenville Piedmont.
We have nothing to add to the para
graphs either, except to say that this
about expresses the situation as we
have seen it all the time.

COUNTY BNRROWS MONEY
FOR CURRENT EXPENSES

The county supervisor under a re-
cent acs of the legislature asked for
bids on the loan TO the county OF
s31 900 for current expenses for 1917
and to pledge the taxes for this year
for it's payment and for $4,000 for
past Indebtedness and to be paid back
with half mill levy each year. This
would make this last loan run for
about nine years.
There were only two bids submit
ted, one by the Exchange bank and
one by the National bank. The En-
change bank offered to lend the S3i,-
G00 at a rate Of five per cent and the
s2S, 600 at a rate OF six per cent the
latter lean conditioned on the former.
The National bank made a bid OF +
! rer cent on the So goo bat no bid for
the s2S, 900 as the time for the loan
| was SO long they wanted more time to
! consider it. The National bank also
made bid to loan the $31 900 at q
! rate OF 295 per cent if the county
; treasurer would carry all the funds
in his hands in their bank. The bid
of the National bank to lend the s3l,-
! 900 at per cent was accepted.

AS we understand from the report
of the commissioners of public works
published some time ago they have
in their hands some $4,000 of assets
to the credit of the sinking fund which
has been accumulated to retire the
bonds. Why not use that money and
pay the bonds that are due now or
that can now be retired, rather than
sell new bonds and keep this fund on
hand 1t is all interest bearing, but
it seems to us that it would be better
to sell these securities and pay our
debts rather than hold them and make
a new debt for the town. There is
a possibility that these securities may
depreciate in value and if our debt
was paid then there would be no
risk of depreciation. But then we are
no business man and maybe do not
know the modern ideas of business
and no doubt these gentlemen who
have the towns business in hand know
more about it, but We cannot help
saying just what We think with no
purpose to criticize adversely but SIM
ply to ask simple question and make
a humble suggestion as one of the
small taxpayers. How about it?

We have been looking over the files
Of The Herald and News as far back
as 80 years ago when We first became
part owner and editor, and we find
in the editorial columns during that
year that we began advising the farm
ers that the road to success for the
farmer in this neck of the woods was
to grow on the farm what he needed
to support the farm, and then to grow
all the cotton he could regardless Of
the price. 1t was good doctrine then
and it is good doctrine to-day, bon
Weevil Or no boil Weevil.
That was about the upss, Of the
meeting on Wednesday, to advise the
farmer in this section to grow cows
and hogs and corn and wheat and
oats and the things he needs to sus-
tain life It is good doctrine to preach
and to practice. Any man who. so
desires may look over the list Of far

Reformation Celebration.

The Protestant Reformation is be-
ing celebrated throughout the world,
and the Lutherans of Newberry coun-
ty are falling into line for this cele-
bration. The first of the series OF
celebrations planned by the associa-
ton of Lutheran pastors will be held
at Grace church, Prosperity, on next
Sunday the 18th of March. And 1t
bids fair to be great day for the
Lutherans in and near Prosperity.
Colony congregation, Rev. L. P. Bo-
land, pastor, st. Lukes. congregation
Rev. B. W. Cronk, pastor, as well as
many Lutherans from other churches
in the county will join in this celebra-
ton. Grace church is the meeting
place, and her large auditorium viii!
accommodate quite a large congrega-
ton, but in order to get a seat one
ought 20 come early. The first ser
vice will be held at eleven O'Clock
and the second at 2:30. Rev. Edw
Fulenwider of Newberry will make
the morning address, and those who
have heard Rev. Fulenwider know
that his address will be scholarly
and yet practical discourse. Rev. J.
J. Long of Little Mountain, the after
noon speaker, is widely known as a
pulpit orator and his address will be
a powerful one. Grand old hymns
like, "a Mighty Fortress is Our God, y
'The Church's One Foundation,
"Faith of Our Fathers" and "My
Church, My Dear Old Church" will be
sung. A select choir from Grace, st.
Lukes and Colony churches will lead
the singing.
The people of Prosperity are plan
ming to do all they can to make the
meeting a grand success. All Luther
an people in reach Of Prosperity can
not afford to be absent, and people
Of other denominations are cordially
invited. Bring a basket of lunch to
snread on the table that will be erect
ed on the sunny lawn Of the church.

uers of his acquaintance in this coun-
ty and ne will find that ninety per
cent of those who have been success
ful have been those who followed this
rule, even long before the boil weevil
was ever heard of in this section.
And those who grew all cotton and
bought their corn and hay and meat
and bread never had anything. We
say that is the rule. 1t is no new
it for years.
What We thought the meeting was
going to discuss and try to make steps
10 accomplish was to organize tar
mers exchange where what the far
mer grew besides cotton could find
a market. The farmers of this coun-
ty waste enough food stuff every year
to feed the entire population, which
could be saved if there was a place
where they could market it, and know
when they came to town they could
go and get the market price for II
! without trying to peddle it around
town. But the meeting under the re-
quest of the chairman resolved itself
into an experience meeting under the
! general welfare clause and as Mr.
! Neel said there was whole lot Of
buncombe in the whole thing. Co.
operation is a good thing and what We
need. but we can't get it by lot o1
hot air. We have suficiency of that
What We need is some practical plan
whereby the farmer can dispose ol
what he has to sell beside cotton al
a fair price, and to know that he car
sell it before he leaves home, with
cut having to go around town trying
to peddle it.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-03-09

We direct attention, especially OF
our farmer readers, to an interview
published in this paper from Richard
II. Edmonds On the Importance Of
planting food stufs. Look over the
figures which he gives and then you
will no longer wonder at the high
prices which are prevailing, and
which should really be to the interest
of the farmer, but too many Of our
farmers are purchasers themselves Of
the things they should grow. 1t is an
old story, and We have repeated it so
often that sometimes it seems to us
that we become almost a bore by
talking so much about the Importance
of the farmer, especially in this land,
raising all that he needs for the farm
on the farm.
And yet it is true that many of our
farmers buy their corn and their
-four and their meal and their Irish
potatoes and their cabbage and their
tomatoes and all the things they have
to eat. when as matter of fact they
should be selling them.
Read the figures given by Mr.. Ed
monds and then make up your mind
at once to plant more corn and make
more hay and raise more hogs and
more cattle and more chickens and
more turkeys and more mules. Just
think of the mules that are being
sold on this market this season. One
dealer says he is selling now his ff-
teenth carload. We could raise mules
here that are just as good as the
mules We buy. Think about these
things before you finally pitch your
crop for this year, Mr.. Farmer. We
must all depend upon you for the
things we have to eat and to wear,
but don't put all your land in cotton.
Make something to eat. Why should
you buy all the tomatoes in cans that
you need. Why not sell them to the
people who are in other lines of work.
Something has to be done, or We will
be without something to eat.

Beneath the welter and the rout
The ancient, tragic irony.

Hurled at his brothers gaping lines;

A sudden ray of promise shines. .

OF WAR, what know the mated birds

High in the tree that overshades
The trench's crest?
They build their tiny cloth-thatched homes
And swing them there.
Tufted inside, to keep the wee eggs warm,
With dead mems hair.
Their feathered hearths laid at what price,
What reckless cost
For some dear head that even now
A hearth hath lost.
Thus, where Wars hand has wrecked
Some human home,
They gather precious fragments up
To build their own.
