unreservedly and enthusiastically

whether he can be elected Or net.
They are the men in the seventh dis

lots of encouragement from them te

was taken to camp from Newberfy
with the last quota for the first call.
He had enlisted in the army some two
years ago but was rejected on physi-
cal grounds, and so he came back
home and made up his mind to settle
down on the farm, and had been there
with his father happy and contented
and a good farmer, but in this last
draft he was passed by the medical
board and one more plow is stopped
and the father loses the last one OF
his boys There was no complaining
by either father Or son pht 1t does
look hard to take the last one and the
one who was helping to win the war
by growing food At least until al
those who are not doing things worth
while had been called, but we reckon
it is right At any rate there was no
murmur Or complaint from either
father Or son, both being ready as
good citizens to do thei rduty.

We heard farmer say the other
day that all this talk about the scar
city of labor was all a myth, that
there was plenty OF labor, but the
trouble was that it would not labor.
It stood around and loafed about
one-thiTd Of its time. That il the
labor would go to work and stick at
it there was plenty to do ali the work
that was needed, and as much labor
as ever in this country There IS
something to this conclusion or state
ment. You may walk out on the
street any day here in Newberry, and
YOU can see able bodied men sittin"
around on the doorsteps Of some OF
the stores and in other places doing
nothing. and apparently as happy as
happy can be- Then if the authori-
ties would close down some Of the
! schools that we could name. and
there was some way by which the
labor could be utilized it would mean
whole lot in relieving the situation,
But all things will work out right
yet.
We have got our garden rlowed and
the seed planted, Or that is a good
lot of seed. but when we count up
the cost we are somewhat like the
all cotton farmer, we believe that We
!!could GROW cotton and with the
money buy more vegetables than we
will need and still have some money
left. bat we wouldn't have the salts
faction of having the vegetables in
the garden. ard the al cotton farmer
does not have the satisfaction of the
corn in the crib and the bacon in the
smokehouse.

l.. The Newberry Herald and News
hopes that Congressman Lever will
not run for the United States senate
this year and it is reasonable to be-
lieve that all the other newspapers
of the political faith of the Newberry
Herald and News feel the same way
about it-Spartanburg Journal.
My dear young friend. we are sorry
that you wrote that We had thought
you were broad enough and Dir
enough not to try to assign selfish
and ulterior motives TO every one
who might not agree with you. And
besides, YOU were never more mis-
taken in your life. so far as to what
the motive was that prompted The
Herald and News to say what it did.
We can not speak for any other news
paper, of whatever political faith it
may be- The Herald and News is IL
Democrat and while it has always
tried to express its honest convictions
as to men and measures honestly anti
fairly it has never been a factionist
in the narrow sense Of that term. as
some other newspapers we have
known.
AS to what we said about Mr.. Lever
entering the senatorial race it was
said as friend to Mr.. Lever and
looking at the same time to the best
interest Of the State as We saw it.
The men and newspapers as a rule
that are now calling on Mr.. Lever 10
mix up in the senatorial race have
never been his political friends. AMI
as we size it up they are now trying
to use him in the hope that he may
be able to defeat Mr.. Blease, as they
have no other man in sight whom
they think is able to do the job. And
they would be willing to sacrifice
Lever in the hope that he might wiz
And may be he could. We do not
know, but at this time in the nations
history and with the position Mr.
Lever occupies in the national con-
gress, We feel that it would be Il
misfortune for him to take the chance
and besides he is worth more to the
country where he is now. at this time,
than he could be even if he wera
elected to the senate, and if it is his
purpose. as he says, to serve the
country, and if it is the duty of ali
patriots to work where thev can ID
the most service. then he should re-
main at his present post
And if he should continne to play

ject to such use being rcaue of their
That is the way we see it, and We
said so. Mr.. Lever has not consulted
us and We have had no conference or
understanding with any of the can
didates present or prospective.
Our sole purpose in what we said
about Lever was to be sure that his
services would be kept in congress.

SOME PLEASANT INCIDENTS.

In the newspaper game there are
times and events or incidents or
whatever you may call them that are
like oases in the desert to the weary,
worn and tired, and sometimes dis
coura ged. country editor and publish
er We say country editor, because
the personality of the average city
editor is overshadowed by the bigness
of the job and the pay is generally
so good that he luxuriates in the
valley of happiness most of the time.
These little incidents help materi-
ally to tighten the burden and to give
encouragement to the hard worked
country publisher They may not
mean much to the average business
man who is bent On making money,
but to the fellow who knows he will
never be a money maker, they help
wonderfully, and take the place IN
some measure at least Of money
COMPENSATION. Some fellow said that
the only thing that You can take with
you when you are hauled off to that
last resting place is that which you
have given away 1t is all that will
count anything at any rate, in the
great hereafter. 1t was lean Jac-
Ques Rousseau and to put the quota
tions in his words: ''The dead take
to their graves, in their clutched fin
gers, only what they have given
away"
This may not interest the fellow
who does not like to read what We
say about about III and our mascot
trips, but if it does not he may just
skip it, for there is plenty of other
good reading in this issue.
But when man comes in and tells
you that he has been reading and
paying for the paper for fifty years,
and that he likes it, and wants it to
keep coming, like Mr.. B. L. Dominick
did the other day, when we didnt
think he was much more than that
Old and he looks young enough to be
able to read it for fifty years more, it
makes you feel good And then just
the other day Mr.. W. H. Folk came
around and wanted to send it to his
son Andrew, who has just set I'D
house keeping for himself, and says
that he represents the third genera
ton that has been having the old pa
per as member of the family for
all the years, that makes you feel
good too. And especially since An
drew had already been around him
self and started The Herald and News
to the new home. Captain H. H.
Folk was subscriber for more than
fifty years and he has five sons and
three daughters all living in this
county and all of them good substan-
tial citizens, all of whom have consid-
cred The Herald and News as a mem

part of the household effects as soon
as they set up house Keeping. NJ II.
