BRINGING THE BOYS. HOME

The war department now announces that it is
bringing soldier boys back from France at
the rate of more than 100000 month and it
hopes to land the last Of them on American soil
by next September. It further says that no
American contingent will be left behind to guard
any European frontiers. They are all coming
home as fast as the transports can bring them.
It was remarkable performance that the war
department undertook successfully when it
landed more than two million men in France in
a little over year. The kickers in the senate
laughed at the statements of Secretary Daniels
Of the navy department and Secretary Baker of
the war department. to scorn when they told
what they hoped to do, and one cheap wit in the

THAT WHITE WAY.

Now that the telephone poles are
down on Main street why would it
not be a good time to revive the talk
about that white way, and not only
revive the talk but take action and
have it put in? You will remember
that before the war it had been about
decided to have white way, and
now that the war is over and things
are getting down to normal would
be the right time to go ahead with
it.
We are sure that the commission
ers of public works would cooperate
with the merchants and property
owners in carrying out the PROPOSE
ton we had some time ago for this
white way.
The Herald and News suggests
that some one take the matter up
and; we are sure he will have the CO.
operation of all the people and the
property owners generally. II would
add so much to the appearance of the
city. in the early hours of the even
ing during the winter months to have
the streets beautifully lighted.

STILLS RAIDED IN
BIRMINGHAM POSTOFFICE

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 18.-Two
stills, one of which was still warm
from recent operations, were raided
today in the basement Of the new
n1illion-dollar postoffice now being
built here.
The stills were in basement room
protected by an improvised door
from the outside detection. One was
made from small syrup bucket and
the other, apparently an addition to
the plant from a galvanized pail.
Both were modern, perfect working
establishments capable of making
moonshine which would stand the
test and bring the market price. No
arrests have been made.
Probable confiscation of the post
office under the Weakly "bone dry
law is now being discussed.

Every paper you pick up chroni-
Icles some terrible and heartrending
auto accident, and in most cases due
to carless or reckless driving. AL
ways follow the advice of late pres
3ident of the Southern railway at
grade crossings, stop, look, listen and
if that is done a great many of these
awful accidents would be avoided.
Just the other day at Ridgeway al
most an entire family was killed, and
the same thing happened the past
week in Georgia, and several more
or less terrible accidents at other
!places.
1t does seem that the drivers of
cars would take heed from these ter
rible accidents and be more careful,
but they will not. At any time you
undertake to travel the road you will
meet the reckless driver and the
speed lust, but Of course they think
they know how, and that there is no
danger to themselves. They surely
do not think of the other fellow who
is travelling the road and should have
some consideration.
But this is very selfish age, we
have been told. and it is demonstrate
ed on the road as much as any place
we know. We have about come to
the conclusion that it is a good test
of the character of the driver to OBJ
serve his treatment of the other fell

WE DON'T KNOW.

Talking about profiteering and
price fixing there seems to be up
heaval and unrest in all departments.
High prices are not only prevalent
in the matter of the things you have
to buy, but wages in some lines is
also very high. Brick masons for in
stance are asking IS cents the hour,
and you can't get them at that price.
A merchant the other day said that
the farmer wanted 9 1-2 cents for his
beef cattle on the foot, and he
thought it should not be over 8 or
8 1-2 cents. We do not know any
thing about it, but it would seem to
US that the price of beef at 35 cents
and the Fifth quarter as they call
it, selling for pretty good sum, that
beef cattle on the foot at 9 1-2 cents
was not very high when the steak is
35 cents. But as we say we don't
know.
A negro woman was in town the
other day with cabbage for which
she wanted 10 cents the pound. It
weighed 7 1-2 pounds. It would seem
to US that rs cents for one cabbage
was pretty good price, but we don't
know.
Tomatoes sold the early part of
the season at 25 cents the pound,
and they tell US they weigh so
pounds to the bushel. That would
be SIS the bushel for tomatoes, a
pretty good price it would seem to
us, but we don't know.
Chickens have gone so high that
we never even think of eating chick
en-, except when we go to the coun-
try. 1t has scared away and above
our purse, and we are not troubled
much, because we get some every
now and again by visiting our coun-
try friends.
So we say we do not know what
is the best thing to do. To be very
frank, we have not much faith in
government regulation. If the gov
ernment would get after the big
trusts and the big concerns which
are trying to corner all the food
stuffs there might De some way to
accomplish something.

We are of the impression that
ssMickie" is writing for the Green
wood Index-Journal, but that is i'm
material except that we desire to give
the paper credit from which the es-
say is taken.
We take this method Of warning
a number of the subscribers to The
Herald and News that their subscrip-
tions are coming due, and some Of
them are past due, and if they don't
shoot few iron dollars this way by
the first of September we will have
to take 'em out of our family, "an'
gose, we sure hate t. throw anyone
outa our happy family" So come
along before it is too late and attend
to the little matter. Now it is only
a paltry $3.50, after the first of Sep
tember it will be $500. Any SUBJ
scriber, it matters not to what date
he is paid, may pay now at the rate
of sonly >s1.50, and for each sum
equal to that amount he will be given
credit for an entire year. Just
eight more days until the first of
September. Including today eight
days exclusive of Sunday. The pres
ent subscription price ceases after
August 80, which is Saturday OF
next week.

September will soon be here and
then the price Of The Herald and
News will be $500 the year. Better
attend to that little matter Of re-
newing your subscription before the
time is out. Look at the date on
the label on your paper opposite your
name, and if that is correct it will
tell you how the matter stands. We
desire that all of you shall remain
with US, but in order to do so it will
be necessary to have the date ahead

The election on the voting of a
special additional tax for the main
tenance of the schools will be held
in September. Theret should not be
a vote against this proposition. The
people signed the petitions asking
the election. with practically no dis
sent at all, and the vote should be
the same way. The proper education
of our children can not be postponed
without great detriment to the child
rem. And then the people of New
berry have ever taken a deep inter-
est in education, and the wonder to
US is that this tax was not increased
before this, and swhy the equipment
was not enlarged and made adequate.
1t just had not been called to the at
tention of the people before, is the
only reason we can imagine. !.
The teachers have been inadequ-
ately paid and the only way to pay
them living salary is to increase
the revenue of the school district,
and the only method by which it can
be increased is to increase the tax
levy. And that is what it proposed
by the levy of an additional two mills
tax on the property. There should
not be dissenting vote.
The requisite number Of freehold
ers and electors have petitioped, to
issue bonds to the amount of $4O,-
600 for the physical Improvement of
the schools, but it has been discover
ed that under the law creating the
district it will be necessary for an
act of the legislature to issue bonds,
but it is we'll that the citizens have
signed the petition because this will
be evidence to the members of the
legislature that the people desire that
the necessary legislation shall be en-
acted, and it should be done prompt
ly so that the necessary equipment
may be made during the next sum-
mer. It is too late now for this next
session any way.

Isn't it strange that the good peo-
pie of this good town will remain
satisfied with the streets. 1t seems
so to us. Otherwise why do they not
make a move to do something to
have them improved? It takes money,
to be sure, but did you ever hear Of
anything worth while being done of
this kind without the spending of
money. And once the streets were
made at all what they should be
there would be less cost of patching
them. We spend thousands hauling

We take very little stock in either
the honesty, the sincerity or the prac-
ticability of price fixing by the Fed
eral government. According to our
way of looking at it, the fixing Of the
prices of the retailer is only kind
of .ruse or subterfuge to engage the
attention of Mr.. Average Citizen
while he is being robbed right and
left by the wholesalers above. We
can understand how some good can
be accomplished by forcing cold
storage products on the market with
in a reasonable length of time after
hey have been prepared for use.
This will tend to the establishment
of a comparatively smooth and legit-
mate operation of the law Of supply
and demand. But when it comes to
telling the small grocer that he
must sell at IL cents sugar for which
he has paid IL cents, leaving him a
.,ross profit Of less than 10 per cent,
when he cannot do business on less
han about Is per cent. there is no
=emblance of justice. The people
who are making the big money out of
mis- situation are the meat trust, the
1lour trust, the steel trust, the shoe
trust, the clothing trust, and other
folks who have combined to make
the public pay to the last farthing or

This expresses just about how we
FEEL about this thing of the govern

IS our opinion of the location of the
trouble. We have said as much be-
fore. It has seemed to us that the
policy of the government has been
all along to start at the wrong end of
the trouble. AS a rule there is not
much profiteering on the part of
,he small merchant, and we mean by
s:,at any merchant in the smaller
towns, but that the trouble is with
the big fellows who corner the goods

on to fix the price at anything that

AWAIT
GREAT NEW CIRCUS
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Combined Shows Arouse
Keen Interest Here.

tCircus Day." the big holiday for
which young and old impatiently wait
at this particular season promises to
eclipse all other events of the calen-
dar year at Pueblo Wednesday, Sep
tember 10.
1t would seem as though everybody
in this locality were planning to at
tend. The very name of the great
new circus-Ringling Brothers and
Barnum & BhAfey Combined-has
been sufficient to arouse far more
interest than has even before been
shown in the coming of any amuse-
ment enterprise. And word from the
Ringing Brothers, who are the direc-
tors of this gigantic super-circus, is
to the effect that those who attend
the performances will witness the
greatest program ever presented in
America. This is likewise true of the
mammoth street parade, which will
positively take place showday morn
ing. the mammoth menagerie and all
else connected with the biggest of all
amusement institutions. The famous
showmen have made complete sur
vey of both the great circuses and
merged the finest and best of each
into one. Hundreds upon hundreds
of performers will appear in the gi-
gantic main tent. There will be scores
upon scores of the cleverest dumb
actors. A gorgeously costumed pag-
ent, of stupendous size, will open the
program. Great companies of char
acters, representing the best-loved
stories of fable and nursery lore,
will appear. There will be splendid
and many groups of beautiful horses
in jeweled trappings. The army OF
clowns exceed all past records for
fun and numbers. All contribute to
the biggest circus in history. Adv,
