SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH the ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and HALF,
italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds month per person is eQuita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential. The fair
and Just division Of this essential Is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends
Before the war started France had
5000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man pr woman with
sugar card has no assurance; whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find 1t.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
" controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar." which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations. according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents pound; France.
10 cents; Italy. 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price Is being held at IA cents

Seeing the Eclipse

The suns eclipse, which was tota;
on line from Washington State to
Florida, was witnessed in Newberry
Saturday evening by many interested
spectators and several casual OBJ
servers. Newberry was not in the
path of totality but got good view
of the orb whose face was darkened
over the immense space Of about
three quarters of its circling rim;
so far as the reporter was able to
Judge considering the fact that his
calculations were taken along with
the looks of two very beautiful young
girls in touching proximity during
the daylight fading from the mar
rowing crescent Of the disappearing
sun" Some people didn't see that,
neither did they wait to see the re-
markable spectacle of the "pearly
radiance of the mysterious solar cor
ona around the jet black ball Of the
moon hanging in the sky among the
brighter stars" They didn't saa i b.
cause they were too busy looking al
ter other things.

who have been urged to run, but they
have declined taking the positios that

number of Newberry boys, and it is
the first letter we have heard to ar

rival of the troops somewhere in
France Of course he does not say
where they are or anything that would
give any information further than to
say that all the boys are we'll and
happy and in fine spirit. and we men
ton it merely 70 give that information
to others who have boys over there.
We are glad to receive the !nforma-
ton as one who has boy in the
same company and from whom we
have not heard since the troops ar
rived except the information tnat they
had arrived safe.

the efficient principal Of the Little
Mountain high school for several
wears and she has done fine work
for the educational interest of that
community. Much to the regret OF
the pupils and patrons OF this scnooi

mainly because the pay was more al
another place. And the Little Noun,
tain school did not have the funds 70
make the advance in salary necessary
to retain her.
She has accepted the principalsnlp

The following letter of Senator
Tillman was sent to The Herald and
News several days ago with release
at .. M on Sunday evening. Sun
day morning The Herald and News
received telegram from Senator
Tillnan requesting the return of the
letter and cancelling the release. We
wrote him Immediately returning the
copy but told him if it were publish
ed in some other paper that we would
use it, but if not we would withhold
publication. On Monday morning it
appeared in the Charleston American
from their Columbia correspondent
and we are now copying it from that
paper and do not feel that there is
any obligation to hold it up as it al
ready las been published. 1t is d
good letter and sounds like the Till
man nG old. 1t rips the governor up
the back and somewhat lays Con-
gressman Lever OUT. We knew that
the senator would smoke 'em out and
we said so some time ago. This letter
sounds and reads like there is a lot

WRITES INTERESTING LETTER
OF THRILLING EXPERIENCES.

The Herald and News is permitted
to print the following very interesting
letter from Lieutenant ames Wallace
+, to his mother from somewhere over
there. 1t was written on Mother Day
very appropriate day for a son TO
! write his mother though any day is
appropriate for such task:
Dear Mother:
AS today is Sunday and it is what
is known as Mother Day, or rather
all in the A. E. F. that are able are
going to write home to mother.
AS I am now my own censor I will
try to tell you of some of my adven-
lures while attached to the French
army during the big fight. Was sent
I'D there to learn French method Of
fighting.
lived three weeks light I'D in the
front line almost, as my dugout was
situated about three hundred yards
behind the frcnt line.
Had two real narrow escapes frc11
making a prolonged visit to st. Peter.
On one occasion l was talking to
two French officers and she'll burst
about - yards from us and when tia
dust cleared up there was two OF US
and what remained of the third was
saapeless mass Of quivering flesh
and that was all.
In another ! had just returned from
patrol in No Mans Land and was
standing on our front line parapeE
when the Germans suddenly opened
Up sweeping our trenches with ma
, chine gun fire. I jumped into our
trench landing right on top OF q
French sergeant and had just landed
when bullets clipped the ground
where l had been standing. There is
lot of grim humor up there as
: saw farmers plowing and the enemy s
shells whizzing over their heads.
7 was in one Of the villages just
behind the lines and / cav school
turn out and all the little tots had
gas masks. wooden shoes and little
I book sacks in the form of a French
soldiers pack.
Was certainly royalty entertained
by the French officers as I think I
had the honor of havins~dinner with
nearly every officer in the regiment.
; I am still at school as you may see
from the letter head, so until yod
hear from me again address mail to
here as I don't knew when will be
assigned.
Tell Uncle R. that l would appre-
ciate a novel or rather a letter from
him.
| Will be writing again soon.

$4,000 The result of our campaign
is as follows
Total subscriptions to date s22,-

Total number of subscribers, 4,548.
We ask all members of committees
all contributors, the newspapers and
every person who in any way aided

campaign to accept this expression OF
our most hearty thanks and apprecia-
tion. The record of Newberry county
in war service is one of which all
patriotic citizens may be proud The
splendid work that we have hitherto
done is only sort of preparation for
the greater work that lies ahead Of
us. for we have only been walking the
path of service which leads to the
place of sacrifice. 1t is of the utmost
Importance not only that we continue
to give freely and librally but that
we cultivate the will to sacrifice.
without which we cannot win the
war.

a menace. Just how far the good
people of the State will resent this
I am unable to say but there is Z
big difference in re-electing Tillmar
to the senate and re-electing Manning
governor. This statement will find
it's vindication later on.
Mr. Lever has stated to NE and
also to others that he woald under
no circumstances run against me bat
would aid me in every way he could
in my reelection. After my an
nouncement I know that General Bur
Lesson advised Mr.. Lever to declare
for my reelection. But in spite OF
his protestations of personal and po-
litical friendship. Mr. Lever has en-
deavored to create the impression i'll
the State that he is the candidate of
the administration when he in fact
is Governor Manning's candidate
brought about by a deal that Gov
eror Manning thouoht he bod made
but the terms of which could not be
complied with.
l am amused at one sentence in
Governor Manning's letter 1t is this:
"My views would have been offered
to you with equal frankness had you
sought them. but did not feel justi-
fed in volunteering advice to you
Yet the governor did feel justified in
advising Mr. Lever to run against ne.
I will remind the governor that it
had been his habit when visiting
Washington or merely passing
through to always call a. thu senate
committee on naval affairs to pay
his respects and exchange views
with me, but when he came Oh the

he came to Washington senator-mak-

had to say with respectful attention
and he might have saved his face III
this controversy Of his own making
as his message to NE through Gen
eral BurIesor referred to in his let
ter was never delivered. How ex
alted he considered his views to be.
Instead he went about secretly 70
persuade President Wilson and the
cabinet members that Blease would
beat me unless some one would de-
fend the president and meet Blease
or the stump. T desire to say here
that neither the president nor any
member of his cabinet have suggested

WASHINGTON. D. c.,

Washington. D. c.,
June 6, 1918
Senator Tillaan gives out the fol-
lowing s<atehent in reply to Govern
or Manning's open lettef&addressed
TO him under date of June l:
have no dssee to question Gov
ernor M9hnings personal patriotism
but there are some features of his
attitude in regard to the selection OF
a successor to the office l now hold
that I feel compelled to deal with.
To quote his own words: Tbs
is a time, however, if I may remark it.
which demands self abnegation and
the subordinat'on of selfish or ambl-
tious aims" This patent truth stat
ed with such clearness causes me
10 wonder how Governor Manning
can Justify the urging of Mr.. Lever
to give up the Craftsmanship of one
of the great committees in the house
TO offer for the senate. Mr.. Lever
had n this crisis an opportunity such
as come to few men to serve the
farmers of South Carolina. This he
has thrown away to run for the sem
ate and also attempt to jeopardIze the
Craftsmanship of the committee OH
naval affairs. If Mr.. Lever should
am not reelected the State loses the
craftsmanship of the committee on
naval affairs. If Mr. Lever should
win he will go to the foot Of all the
committees on which he will serve,
and so would ;Blease.
Did Governor Manning consider the
States best interests when he ad-
vised and persuaded MIR. Lever tc
throw away the Craftsmanship Of the
committee of agriculture of the
house to go into race for the SEN
ate?
The State had successfully passed
through the floating Of more than its
share of the Liberty loan. This a
evidence enough that the State of
South Carolina was loyal and true
and earnestly behind the President
and the war.
W This over-subscription to the Lib
erty bond issue and the generous con
tributions to the Red Cross on the
part of the people Of South Carolina
completely refUtes Governor Man
ning's statement to the President and
Mr.. Levers assertion in his an
nouncement that the causes Of the
war and the objects for which our
country are fighting will have to be
explained in great detail on the
stump this summer in every county
or Blease will be elected and the
pecple of South Carolina will go On
record as disoyal and opposed to the
wa-. For myself I have no doubt
about the patriotism and the loyalty
of the people of South Carolina and
thew are lust as we'll informed as some
people who set themselves up to De
Iheir leader. I have no hesitation IN
