HITCHCOCK KNOWS THE HUN

Germany from the inside" is IA

cock. He spent several years in study
in the country with which the nation
is now at war and knows the German
mind. He puts this knowledge to good
use in the United States, and under
stands many Of the trick plays that
the kaiser and his cohorts have at
tempted.
Before the United States entered
the war Senator Hitchcock was not
considered a strong militarist. Since
the declaration of war, however, he
has been one of the most constructive
members of the senate.
Tall, erect and with iron-gray
hair, Senator Hitchcock presents one
of the most striking figures on the
floor. He is almost statuesque. His
voice fits in with his personal appear
ance, and when he speaks In rlch,
mellow tones, with a temperate man
ner, he impresses his listeners. 1t Is

BLOCKED U-B0AT BASES

Vice Admiral Sir Roger John
Brownlow Reyes is the man who found
lasting fame by raiding Zeebrugge
and Ostend and blocking the U-boat
bases.
He is young as vice admirals go,
only forty-fve, and he has the vigor
and air of youth. Years ago when
the Boxer rebellion in China was at
its height and it was as much as a
white mans life was worth to show
his face inland he took a couple of de-
stroyers up the Yang-Tsei-Hei and
boarded and captured four Chinese
torpedo boats. Then he landed with
about a dozen men, seized Chinese
fort which threatened trouble and
blew the place up and withdrew his
little party without single casualty.
In the years before the present
war he specialized as submarine and
torpedo officer, and for his daring and
enterprise was chosen to command the
British submarines. After several

Talking about comparing and re-
menaheping February days we recaii
a February = day not SO many years
ago, and still little further back
than the one called, to the mind OF Mr..
Eddy. 1t was February IA, 1881, and
it was Monday. We were then
teaching school in the town OF Able
vile and had come down to- New
berry on the Friday before. That
Monday was beautiful balmy spring
like suushiny day. That has not been
so long ago, and yet some people
will think it has. There have been
many changes in the years that have
come and gone since then, DR., D. b,
johnson, who was then principal ol
the school in Abbeville and now the
president of Winthrop college, came
down to Newberry with Us on that
occasion. This squib is written On
the evening of the 18th. We do not
know yet what sort of day the l4ta
is going to be at this time. The In
dications tonight are for rain.
The sunshine came out again on
Wednesday and the 14th this year was
a beautiful spring day just similar
to that. 14th of1SS1.

There was some dust raised in the
city streets On Tuesday and no
sprinkler wagon anywhere in sight
We heard one merchant say that
enough damage had been done to his
stock of good during the day by the
dust to have purchased one or two
sprinkler wagons. we suppose as
there has been so much rain and
snow recently the city fathers never
thought that it would be good thing
to sprinkle the streets, or maybe the
water is scarce.
There was no scarcity of water be-
cause on the "wednesday following
the dust the hose was used and the
paved streets were = washed clean
Would it not be good idea to ge'
some sweepers and sweep the payei
streets every eveing after business
hourse, and then they would be clean
the next morning. The washing pro.
cess every now and then does not las'
long enough.

A friend of The Herald and News
told US the other day that we had
sent him two papers folded together
of the same issue, he supposed in an
effort to make up for the one or two
issues printed with only four pages,
but that it would not work. Well,
that was not our purpose. We are
going to make up in the extra good
paper that we intend to print from
now henceforth.
And then he facetiously remarked
that if we had not taken up so much
space telling about our troubles We
could have printed a better paper.
Maybe so. You know, We believe IN
taking the familyinto your confidence,
and dealing frankly with all the men,
bers. and we can't help it.
But he comforted us by adding that
he knew The Herald and News would
get there just the same. and he was
sticking to the old ship. There has
never been any doubht about that.

YERS TRY SEVERAL ROUNDS
IN COURT

A local merchant, punch board and
a bunch of lawyers with d claim fee
from a Yankee town made up the
back ground for a little comedy in
Judge Smiths supreme" court this
morning that was numerous, and a biz
serious.
The local merchant had bought the
punch board from an unusually loqua-
tous salesman long months ago. He
hadn't paid for it,-or at least that
was the contention before the court,
and the concern away up in big Yam
kee town was pressing for is money
The merchant finally admitted he
had been able to land dime deal on
the punch board, but he wanted this
matter to remain quiet for good rea-
son. He then said he had RENTED
and could furnish proof in a paid check
The case went off with a statement
from the attorney for the punch board
making corporation that if the said To-
cal merchant would show proof of his
payments, the case would be called
off Immediately. The merchant got
his hat and went for the proof-and
the court suspended for the time?
