K|LBOlJRN YOUNG
MAN KILLED BY
A|NATPORTAGE
Was Employed as Signal Maintain
er by the Chicago and hIIilwau-
kee Road

Walter Peterson Of Kilbourn, 26, un-
married, signal maintainer of the
Milwaukee road, was killed while in
the west end Of the Portage freight
yard when the railway gasoline mo-
tor car on which ne rode was struck
by a locomotive.
The verdict of the jury, given on
Thursday afternoon, was that "Walter
Peterson came to his death between Z
and o'clock p. m, March 20, 1918, in
the west part of the G. M. & ST. P. Ry.
yards in the city Of Portage by acci-
dentally being run over by train"
No blame was placed upon anybody
for the accident.
The evidence showed that Peterson
left Kilbourn for Portage at 6 p. m,
being accompanied by J. O. Bauer, a
Kilbourn butcher; that on arrival in
Portage Bauer left the car and came
down town; that presumably Peterson
had started for home; that probably
he was hit by a road locomotive being
taken to the cinder pit by an engine
Dispatcher; that no one saw the acci-
dent and that the body was discovered
by a switching crew.
Ore theory was that Peterson's car
jumped the track, throwing him off
with such force that he remained IN
conscious until struck by the locomo-
tive Another was that he was taking
the car from the rails when hit. All
were gueSSes.

FIRE DAMAGES
NEWS NACHI5E
Small Blaze Discovered in Time to
Prevent a More Serious Loss
Origin a Mystery

Wednesday evening about 8 O'Clock
an employee Of the News Office dis
covered a blaze beneath the folding
machine. About an hour before, the
folder had been in use, and the blaze
was discovered just in time to prevent
a more serious loss. The wooden rOl
lers on the machine and the betting
not only on the folder but also in the
vicinity, was made worthless from the
heat and blaze. A hole was burned
in the floor, this loss being borne by
the owner, w. J. Power, chief of the
fire department. AS soon as the blaze
was discovered, the central office OF
the telephone company was notified
and the fire department responded
promptly. Little water was used, the
blaze being eXtinguished by chemicals
The loss will be adjusted in few
days.
For several days it will be neces
sary to fold the papers by hand, and
the subscribers will not find the tops
cut off. A pair Of shears will do the
business, or the paper may be folded
over.
The origin of the fire is somewhat
Of a mystery, but it may have started
from the stove. During the afternoon
paper had been thrown in the stove
and did not burn at the time. 1t was
thought there was no fire in stove, but
spark may have started blaze
which caused the contents to puff, as
stoves sometimes do, sparks being
forced through the crate to the floor
The hole burned in the floor is several
feet from the stove.
On account of having no folding
machine, the management Of The
News was obliged to limit this edition
to eight pages. A new machine has
been on the road several days, and
it is expected all things will be run
ming as hitherto, before the end OF
this week.

DISCUSSES DRAMA
BEFORE REL0CALClUB
Rev. ]. 7. Durward Regrets the
Christian Element Does Not Find
More Favor in Theatres

The Catholic Woman's club met at
st. Joseph's school on Wednesday aft
ernoon. After the opening invocation
and roll call the musical program was
given, consisting Of very choice piano
solos played by Marjorie Kier, Eleanor
Wettstein, Arlie Hubbard and Gene
We've Winchester, also a vocal duet by
Marietta Kieffer and Genevieve Win
chester. Both playing and singing
were spl?ndidly rendered.
The club again had the pleasure of
having Rev. j. T. Durward as their
honored guest. His presence is an
honor much appreciated by the club.
He gave brief talk on the Chris
tian Drama" He said in substance:
Drama is acting literature, The
sacrifice of our dear Lord on the cross
is the central drama of all history.
Efforts have been made by our best
dramatists to get a Christian theater,
but the world seems to want some
thing different, and consequently those
ecOrts have not met with much sue
cess. Lady Gregory, w B. Yeates
and Synge have contributed largely
to the Christian drama"
Among other Christian dramas men
toned were the Passion Play, the
miracle plays OF the Nativity of Our
Lord" Agony in the Garden" etc.
"The mission play is drama writ
ten by John McGoorty of California" "
Father Durward had the pleasure Of
seeing this play when in California
not long ago, and he spoke very higH-
ly Of it's merits and beauty He COM
pared the Chamber dramas, or dramas
to be read, Of Audrey de We're, with
the acting dramas, or dramas to be
seen, of Synge and Yeates. He then
read some very interesting passages
from Synge's "Writers of the Sea" "
also the poem, "Brigit the Daughter
of Duffy"
Father Durward's ability to read and
explain both prose and poetry is too
well known to require any comment.
It certainly is literary treat to lis
ten to him.
The business meeting was held, aft
er which adjournment was taken un-
til April 17.-SecIa Iatary.

An Open Letter To The
People of South Carolina

In April the country was
called upon to purchase Lib
erty Bonds to the amount Of
three billions of dollars. 1t
responded by purchasing four
billion dollars worth. In May
it was called upon to contrib
ute srG0,o00,00o to the Amer
lean Red Cross. 1t responded
by contributing over $15o,000,-
600. And the best part of
those two responses was not
merely the amount Of moNey
raised, but the patriotic en-
thusiasm manifested. 1t was
made plain that the Ameri-
can nation is determined to
prosecute this war to a sue
cessful coQclusion at any
cost.
The hardest task is before
US in June. The government
is depending upon the sale of
two billion dollars worth of
War Savings Stamps during
this year, and Of this amount
expects South Carolina to
purchase over $30,000,00o
worth Of these stamps
greater investment than we
were calleS upon to make in
the last two Liberty Loans
combined. The government
has designated the month Of
June as the period for secur-
ing definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
of the year, with a fair pro-
portion of actual purchases
during that month.
We have been associating
the War Savings Stamp with
children to such an extent
that we have lost sight of the
other purpose involved in
this government issue, -
namely, providing a form Of
investment which is suitable
to the great mass Of people,
who do not find it convenient
to visit banks to pay install
ments, but who can see eth
er the postman every day or
else an agent for the sale Of
w. 8. S., and can secure from
him a War Savings Stamp,
which pays practically the
same interest as a Liberty
Bond.
AS he continues to paste
his $500 stamps-which cost
him but slightly over $4.0o-
cn his certificate, he has an
actual government bond Of
the value Of all the War Saw
tnSs Stamps :asre are on it.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1918-06-07

One stamp would be a $500
bond, for instance, and 20
stamps would be a 500 bond.
If you deposit in a savings
bank paying per cent inter
est quarterly, SALT in the
month of June, 1918, will in
crease to $4.Se on January /,
1923. A War Savings Stamp
bought in June for $&.17 will
be cashed lor $500 in the
same time. The value of a
War Savings Stamp does not
fluctuate as is the case with
q bond, because the govern
ment guarantees that a War
Savings Stamp increases one
cent s month izb value. 1t
can be redeemed any time be-
fore maturity.
From June Il to June 2S
We are calling for pledges
from the mass Of people OF
our state to the amour Of
$4,000 600, these pledges 10
be redeemed during the hHl-
ance of the year as may best
be suited to The subscribers.
South Carolina stands at the
foot of the list Of states in
its per capita purchases OF
War Savings Stamps. From
now until June 2S, when the
intensive campaign will end,
let us see to it that we do
our part and take a more ap
propriate place in the roll OF
states-and then we can look
forward to z rest from cam
palgns at. November.
Let us not forget that the
Government is relying on the
country's purchase of two bill
lions of dollars worth Cf w.
S. S. during this year as an
important part of its revenue
10 pay for what the boys need
on the other side. That
thought should stir us all to
instant action. Our soldiers
don't grumble or ask for rest.
If we supply them with all
that American genius and en-
ergy can produce, victoyy will
be hastened and many Ewes
saved. How can we expect
to rest, how can We endure
the thought of resting when
there is something for US tc
do, as long as our boys are IN
the trenches enduring the tor
ments of hell, and giving
even their lives that we may
live here in safety and pros
peritys
