Everyone will syrnpathize with the
Companion reader whose phone is
borrowed by everyone in the neigh

annoyance without offending any
body is the problem.
The solution told by a woman in
the May Companion, is more in the
way of a warning against the easy
acquiescence that encourages such
imposition.

Our sympathies are always with
the laboring man, if for no other
reason, we have been laboring man
all our life, and we have never been
opposed to labor unions. On the
contrary we have always felt that it
was well for labor to organize. But
we do not see the justice or the right
in the strike of the railway employees.
And unions should not be used to
hurt other departments of industry.
There is ne labor in this country that
is paid higher wage than these
men who are going on this strike.
And if they unite they can almost
cause a panic and great deal OF
trouble. Labor should not try or
desire to confscate property.
In our opinion the profiteers are
she people who are responsible for
most of the troubles in this country
today, and if there could be some
way devised to get after them then
we would be reaching after the
shnig that is giving the trouble in
this country.

Richland county on Tuesday voted
a bond issue of two million dollars
for road building in the county.
Certain roads are to be built first
under the provisions Of the proposed
bill and one of the first is the Pied
mont highway as far up as the Lex

will insure us 20 miles of good road

Newberry is building five miles Of
good road. That Lexington link
will never be good road until it is
relocated nearly all the way from
Chaplin to Little Mountain. It would
cost very large sums to build road
over those hills and valleys between
Chaplin and Little Mountain. But it
would be a very easy matter to re-
locate, without a great deal of cost.

We are printing news item from
The Greenwood Index-Journel which
is largely a local story pertaining to
that town, but it records an accident
which may happen in any town, and
one that might happen in Newberry,
and we want you who drive cars to
read it. It states if one of the cars
had kept to the right the accident
could have been prevented. We have
been urging the drivers of this, town
20 keep to the right, especially in
turning the corners of these narrow
streets. This accident occurred at a
street crossing, and was caused by
one of the cars not keeping to the
right. Sometimes we feel that it
would not make so much difference
# only the reckless driver was hurt,
because if he has no more regard for
his own life than to throw it away
that is his business, but the trouble
generally is that some innocent per-
son or little child is the victim, as
in the case referred to. And the
.urther trouble is that even the care
iul driver is not immune from the
eckless driver. In fact, it is almost
ke taking your own life in your
hand when one ventures on the road,
however careful he may be. If we
.ver reach the point where We have
ood roads there will have to be
something done to make it safe for
s!le ordinary person to ride the road
- all.

although they have not always been
applied in his case, and he knows
that there are influences constantly
al work to belittle, humiliate and
degrade him. Still he stands firm in
his faith that real democracy will
some day be realized in the United
States.
This conviction has caused him
to bare his breast to the bullets OF
the enemy whenever his homeland
has been imperiled In spite of in
famous determinations he fought in
the recent world cataclysm to give
democracy to the world but when he
returend to his home, leaving thou
sands of his fellows dead on the bat
tie fields of France, he found that
other groups of Americans were
more bitter than ever in their feel
ings against him.
The Christian minister who was
so bitter in his prejudice as to give
out a separate signed statement urg-
ing segregation, cuts sorry figure
when placed beside the learned and
famous rabbi, DR.. Emil G. Hrsch,
foreign born but now a true Ameri-
can, who when asked by a reporter
for his views on segregation replied:
From my point of view we are all
alike. Colored people are just as
good as white people. l would rather
have a good colored neighbor than
poor white one"
Now let us have democracy at
home. Stop all this anti-colored

paganda, and let all men dwell to-
pether as Americans.

| No unbiased observer can fail To oh

part, biased, highly colored CT utterly
false. The policy of the past seems 10
have been that when n news item did
not betray criminal tendencies and
make use of such terms ms burly black

the item was of little worth, or if there
was a possibility of poking fun or hold

plenty space in the paper was given.
Constructive forces, worthy achieve
ments epoch making situations either
got no space or little space and that
usually in an out of-the.way part Of the
paper.
In situations where both races are
involved the reports are often without
truth or foundation. The happening
at Elaine, Arkansas, is a case in point.
All over the world the Associated Press
sent story of "Negro Uprising -,
Negroes Plan TO Murder Whites -,
and there is no truth in the whole af-
fair. In Elaine, Arkansas, the situation
was an unusual brutal attempt at in
timidation and robbery of the black
tenant by the white farmer. Elaine,
like some other places in the south, has
practiced peonage for years and is loath
to give it up. So with Bourbon barbar-

But the most distressing thing about
the whole affair was that so great an
organization as the Associated Press
lent itself to this lie, as it has to others.

irving to maintain intrenched wrong.
We do not wish to believe that this
lending of self was deliberate and in
territorial act. But power is great
thing and entails great responsibility
And the power of the public press
should not be used to debauch the pub
lie. To il rather is given the opportnn-
ity to mould public sentiment to tho
end that it shall love truth and fair
play and justice and realize to what an
extent these principles are involved in
the destiny of the nation for which
