Pledges No Secrets

Pledges No Secrets
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau as
sured DR. Haase that he would never
make secret treaty or agreement, but
DR.. Haase replied that there was no
assurance how long he would be in
power. He ridiculed DR.. Dernburgs
assertions.
AS consequence of the controversy
the House showed excitement for the
first time since the opening of the
Assembly.
The session was a tedious one, except
for the fact that it brought out the
first exhibition of differences of opin-
ion The second reading of the prov-
sional constitution came up for debate
and it was the only business of the day.
For the first hour and half the mem
bers debated, championing the measure

objection only to the frequent use of
the word "empire" in the document and
requested the substitution of "republic'
throughout the draft offered for &C

this procedure, and for time 1T looked
as though the old obstructionist tao

1t was Herr Cohn who acted a.
spokesman for the independents in de

house, as follows:
"If the government does not in it

BERLIN, Feb. 9 BY The Associated
Press). ).-Conscription of various classes
of men up to thirty-fve years of age
Will shortly be decreed, according to
information given the spondent to-
day.
Authority in this direction, it is cx-
pected, will be given the government
by the National Assembly in the near
future, and it is understood that Gus
tav Noske, who is mentioned for the
post OF Minister of National Defence,
will proceed forthwith to adopt the
measures needed to reestablish the
army and put it on an effective foot
ing.
The recruiting of volunteers, which
has been proceeding in hapha2ard fash
ion for several weeks, and which has
been stimulated by the Spartacan riots
and is chiefly financed by private
sources. has failed, according to the
information, to achieve practical re-
suits.
The contemplated emergency action
has now been hastened by the increas-
ing menace of Poland and more urgent
need for forestalling an anticipated
Bolshevik invasion.
Chaos in Military Organization
The chaos at present prevailing in
Germany's military organization, due
10 Il N: y !;
of all authority and discipline, which
is being accentuated by the domineer-
ing rule of the revolutionary Soldiers
Councils, has brought the nation to g
point, it was stated. where it is now
virtually incapable of hastily mobiliz-
ing an equipped force of even the mod
est dimensions required for such al
apparently small task as defending the
German-P Polish frontier.
If the Bolshcvik danger becomes
more than mere spectre, as it nov
seems to be, it would require an army
of ample size to strike quick often
sive blow Both these fronts aggregate
1000 kilometres G,100 miles,, an(
military men express the opinion tina
it will require a large fighting fore
to defend the frontiers and also regain

indicated that it would require fou

problems on the eastern border. 1t

Congressman Lever in statement
urging the farmer to hold his cotton
and to reduce acreage for this year
gives some good reasons which
should be convincing to the sensible
and reasonable farmer and no one
should expect some other one TO Go
the reducing so that he might profit
by an increased acreage for himself.
But what we started to quote from
Mr.. Lever is this: For IL years
have preached the doctrine of max
ing every farm in the South self sus-
tanning, which would result neces-
sarily in making the South masters
of their great cotton CROP Well,
that is sound doctrine and We can
beat MIR. Lever by several years in
the preaching of the same doctrine.
We have been preaching it now for
80 years but it seems that our preach
ing as we'll as that of Mr. Lever has
been unavailing to a large extent at
least.
We believe, however, that the pres
ent movement for reduction in
acreage is going to result in great
er diversifcation in the farming Of
this country. The farmer has begun
to realize that other crops than cot
ton may be turned into money just
as readily as cotton and at create.
profit because they cost so much
less to produce. There have been
several reasons which have made
the South one crop section but the
transitions which are taking place in
all things are fast changing these
conditions and we believe that this
crisis in the price of cotton is going
to hasten the changes which are
sure to come

We failed to state in our last issue
that the legislature adjourned sine
die on Sunday morning something
after seven o'clock and the members
went home. The appropriation bill is
little over four million dollars for
the present year. The three big
items are eduaction, the hospital for
the insane and pensions. These three
amount to a little over half the total
bill. We will print it in subsequent
issue so that the taxpayer may see
for himself what the money goes for
and the amount for each object.
All good roads legislation was pass
ed up. All salaries were raised which
was entirely proper because they
were too low.

the men behind it have set the pace
for other institutions and it is hoped
that this building only means that
others will soon follow as the coun-
try settles down to normal after the
upheavels incident to the great world
war.
In the men who officer the bank
it is worthy of note that four out
of five are country boys, reared on

President Parr was born on the
Fairfield side of the Broad River and
left an orphan in early life and made
his own way to the front by the dint
of his indomitable energy and the de-
termination to succeed. He is the man
who developed the famous Parr Shoals
on Broad River, from which the power
is secured to turn the wheels of in
dustry in Columbia and other places,
and by sheer force of his personality
and character has forged to the front
and is now recognized as the builder
of Newberry. a man of less fore
sight and will power would never have
undertaken and carried to success

ing which stands as monument to
his farsightedness more than to that
of any other one person, and the peo-
pie of Newberry should appreciate
what he has done for the town and,
cooperate to make it profitable in
vestment for him and those associated
with him.
There will be those to knock and
complain and grumble. 1t has always
been so. Too true and pity it is.
that the man who does things is
rarely appreciated by his contempor-
aries and we too often wait until he
is gathered to his fathers in the happy
hunting grounds to manifest our ap-
probation of what he did for his COM
munity in his day of service
There could be no calculating what
we could accomplish for any COM
munity if we would all cooperate and
work together and lay aside all lit
tie petty jealousies and chickering's and

almost all the way if the split log
