TOOK THEM TO CHURCH.

According to our promise we drove
to Dyson on Sunday and took the old
folks to their church at Trinity. 1t
was a very strenuous trip, but we are
glad we went. It is not my purpose
to worry the reader with another ac-
count of Dyson trip. We just want
to say that while we did not go in the
church, I would like for the pastor
and the good people up that side to
understand, that while I do not boast
of my church going activities, I am
not in the habit of riding IS miles to
church and then stay outside. But
I had elbow out" and had to repair
the damage as best / could so as to
be able to return home.

reception. Johnson smoked three
cigars on the drug store corner while
Informing the citizens of his expert
ences in the army. The sheriff took
a large number of the players over to
1.-THE Jail for a short, friendly unoffic-
lial visit. Thanks to you, Sheriff
!Blease, also for the invitation to
spend some time in your calaboose!
| A delay was occasioned by the bad
roads, but about noon, President
Child, Mr.. Sherard and other offic-
|ials of the mill drove up in motor
cars and transported the team over
the 81 miles to Whitmire.
Here sumptsous dinner was
served, which the team enjoyed
thoroughly after the delay and long
ride.
The entire stay at Whitmice was
marked with courtesy and kindness
displayed by the citizens Of that
place. Refreshments were ever at
disposal. A tour of inspection was
made of the splendid Y. M. c. A..
recreation building which is devoted
to the uses of the workers at the mill.
The athletic equipment, up-to-date
showers and rockers, a motion pic
Iture auditorium, band hall, and other
attractions were inspected. Then the
team was invited to tour the immense
mill. Even Dietrich, who once man
aged several silk mills in Pennsylvan-
la, admitted that it was right there
with the goods. $1,000 spindles were
lin operation, and the employees were
cleanly and Industrious company.
Sad5to say, Pitcher Harrell, Catch
er DeBroskie and Fielder Ahern were
unable to accompany the team, which
loss might have wrecked any other
squad, but the hospital bunch carries
Ia punch even with substitutes. The
following lineup marched out to the
Ismooth ball field. Pitcher Johnston,
ICatcher Fullerton, First Base Hal
ford, Second Base Rights, Third Base
Kirby, Short Stop Breitenstein, Left
Field Dietrich, Center Field Walsh
and Right Field Liedel. Pitcher
;Rrinklev was held in reserve.
A hard shower of rain delayed the
game for half an hour, and left the
field in rather uncertain condition.
lBreitenstein and Kirby put on life
preservers. A large mound in the
pitchers box enabled Johnston to
represent graphically the statue OF
Liberty.
After the rain, the sun came out,
also the band, and several hundred
interested rooters, including the
sheriff of the county, who came over
to review the proceedings.
The game began. Pitcher johnson
went well for the first few minutes,
Ibut after that, as Fullerton says,
everv ball was labeled "safe hit," and
the speedy boys of Whitmire showed
four runs across before matters could
be adjusted to the satisfaction OF the
soldiers.
After the first inning, "Brit" took
the mound and pitched in mastery
style, allowing only two hits, altho
three more runs were handed over to
the Whitmire boys. Rights, Kirby
and Fullerton scored three runs IN
the meantime for the soldiers. Thus,

I was elected president of the as

present at that meeting Gonzales OF

lesion Post, Mrs. Virginia D. Young
of the Sumter Freeman, have pass
ed to the great beyond. Wallace of
the Newberry Observer, Browne then
the Anderson Peoples Advocate, Os-
teen then of the Sumter Watchman
and Southron, and myself are still in
the business. That was a most de-
lightful meeting. And there have
been many such pleasant gatherings
since. I could write more than the
paper could hold and more than the
people would care to read possibly,
about the men and the friendships
formed during all these years with
the members who have passed either
to the great beyond, or who have
gone into more lucrative professions,
and of the few who are still faithful
unto the end, struggling to. serve
their day. and generation.

This is the opportune time for the
publishers to come into their own, if
they but take advantage of the op-
:portunity. There is more activity
lust now in the matter of advertising
than at any time during the past 80
wears. Mr.. Harbor, president Of the
Georgia association was present, and
he is a live wire, and the suggestion
that we cooperate with the State as
sociations that are near us is good
one. If the publishers of the coun-
try papers will organize and go to
the advertisers with the proper dope
there is no doubt but good results
can be secured, but a real live and
experienced advertising man must be
put in charge of the business who
will look after the interests of the
publishers, and to get such a man he
will have to be paid we'll for his serv-
ices, but it will pay the publishers to
pay him.

It happened about two miles from
the church, and in order to get there
for the preaching hour went on the
flat tire. But we had plenty of time
for the service did not conclude until
nearly 2 o'clock. Mr.. William Carson
kindly let us have an old tire and
with the use of some three "shoes''
I patched up and got home Sunday
afternoon.
I resolved then and there that if
Dr. C. D. Weeks would sell me two
of those blowoutless, punctureless,
windless, tubeless, those that you
don't have to change until they wear
out, if he would sell me two of them
on dollar down plan, that he had al
ready sold two, if could get some
one to put them on. l think l saw
an advertisement of them in The
Herald and News the other day, and
as soon as I get down town am go
ing to see if he has them, and if he
will trade with me he has sold at least
two of them. You never saw a
elbow out" or a puncture except it
happened in the hot and broiling July
sun with no shade in a mile or more.
On the return trip / helped one
man out of trouble with a tire, and
would have been glad to help an
other, Mr.. Phillips, but didn't know
how as he had engine trouble. A fel-
low feeling makes US wondrous kind,
especially while the feeling is fresh.
But the trip was made all right de-
spite the tire trouble. I saw one road
on this trip, or what passes for a
road, partly in Greenwood and partly
in Saluda county, on which 1 do not
believe that even the split log drag
could be of any assistance, and yet
there are lots of the farmers along
this way who have auto cars, and l
wonder how they can stand such a
thing as this is for a road.
The chain gang is camped some
where up about Little river and from
Mr.. H. T. Fellers' on to Chappells
they have been dragging the road
and it is now in pretty good shape,
i'm fact, about the best portion of
road that I have seen in the county.
AS to the long bridge The Herald
and News may have been misunder-
stood in the statement that it had
been condemned by the commission
ers. / understand that it has been
condemned only for use by heavy
cars. l can not just understand
where the line is to be drawn, but l
am told that is what has been done.
The broken down section has been
rebuilt, and the travel is going over
it, but it does not look safe and
should be rebuilt as soon as possible,
and before some serious and fatal ac-
cident does take place. In fact, the
old bridges that we have been &C
customed to have will no longer

There have been many changes in
the personnel of the association since
1890, when I first became member.
Major J. C. Hemphill who was one OF
! the charter members was present.
The only other one now living l be-
lieve is Mr.. G. M. Harman of the
Lexington Dispatch. Hubert: Osteen
of the Sumter Item and w. W. Ball
of the State and August Kohn of
! the News and Courier and Ed De-
Camp Of the Gaffney Ledger and Jas.
L. Sims of the Orangeburg Times and
Democrat though he has now turned
the paper over to his sons, are the
only ones present as recall now,
who were in the business when l first
became member. Thirty years is
good long time. And many changes
take place in that time. Of course
Mr.. w. H. Wallace my contemporary
was at that time member of the as
sociation. Many of the editors who
are now members are not many
years older than thirty, and some OF
them under that age They are a
clever set of boys and enthusiastic
: in their work and I wish them every
success.

There are many other things that
1 might mention in connection with
this meeting. l enjoyed immensely
the Illuminating address of Col. Eos
ter who gave an account of his serv
ice in the recent war, and told many
things that have not been printed ane
which threw some light on the event:
of this great struggle. The Rotar!
club gave very delightful lunchco.
to the members and it was much en-
joyed. Former Senator Pollock
spoke and of course he advocate,
woman suffrage, and said that N
considered the man who claimed tia
he would favor such suffrage i:
secured by State action but was op
posed OF federal amendment to Sc
cure it, as hypocrite. The trip t.
the Judson mill was a pleasant triI
and the courtesy of the officials sp
preciated, and the base ball games
to those who love that sort of thing
was enjoyed. The attentions of Geo
Koester and Rion McKissick to tn
members was lovely, and the Green
vile people did all they could t
make the meeting a delightful one
and so far as can judge they sue
ceeded.

be adjusted to the satisfaction OF the
soldiers.
After the first inning, "Brit" took
the mound and pitched in mastery
style, allowing only two hits, altho
three more runs were handed over to
the Wh;tmire boys. Rights, Kirby
and Fullerton scored three runs IN
the meantime for the soldiers. Thus'
after the first attack, things went
evenly enough.
1t may be stated here that a game
with a more gentlemanly set OF
players has not been played Dy tne
hospital team this season, and the
ability of the Glenn-Lowry Mill team
is of unusually good order.
The game was cut short in order
to get the soldiers back without A.
W. O. L. being registered against
them. Hence the homeward trip was
resumed Immediately after the game.
Altho the soldiers didn't win, they
were in excellent spirits, and speak
in complimentary language OF their
treatment. The trip thru the mill
town. the auto ride, the courtesy OF
the leaders of the community made
the excursion day Of thorough en-
ioyment, and atoned for all weari-
ness incurred by the exhausting day.

Or Heroes In France

Away in France in the shade of the
trees
Brave soldiers are buried, sleeping
at case,
Under the flowers that cover the
soil
They're resting and lying. away
from the toll.
Away from the noise and horrors OF
the strife,
That in which they fought for moth
er and wife,
They now are paving the price ua-
der the sod,
Watched over from heaven by the
kind eye of God.
They laid down their lives on ,h'
hills of France,
For they did not wish to give IL"
Hun chance
To make this world hell with those
vandal hands,
As he had in France and the border
ing lands.
They fought not in vain. they con
quered the fiend
That sought to bring happy wor''i
to an end,
And as they sleep now in the
warmth of the sun.
Their brothers are collecting the
price Of the Hun.
Let us not forget these dead heroc.;
so brave.
AS they pass the years in the slorh
of the grave.
And as they lie silent by night and
by day
Sleeping the years of their rnanh, VI
away.
Let's give them the honors :hev ,'"H
in the strife,
And also the laurels they lost ". :,
their life.
As We crown in our hearts these
heroes so true.
Who sacrificed all for the Red. Whit
and Blue.

EVENTS IN GREAT CONFLICT
SHOWING WHAT BONDS
PAY FOR

Secrets of the war recorded by the
motion picture camera and only now
released by the censorS are revealed
in "The Price of Peace. an official
film issued in behalf of the Victory
Liberty Loan, and to be shown at
Kingstree Tuesday, May 6.
"The Price of Peace" is the only
official picture ever assembled
which purports to cover the war
from the day it was declared down
to date.
The purpose of the picture as an
nounced by the Department of the
Treasury through Frank +. Wilson,
director of publicity, is to put be-
fore the public a graphic accounting
and to make clear why there is now
a Victory Liberty Loan.
The picture opens with scene in
President Wilson's office and ref
erence to that momentouS April 6,
when war was declared. 1t concludes
with . remarkable view of the Sta
tue of Liberty, in New York harbor,
and the homecoming of our army.
But there is vast deal between,
including the embarkation Of troops,
their landing in France, final train
ing over there, then the desperate
realities of the front line trenches,
gas attacks, army railroading under
fire, the great attack from SCISSORS
to Chateau Thierry. infantry and
artillery under heavy bombardment,
a battle between aeroplanes and the
downing of an enemy airman, the
observation balloons under fire, then
the battle dead, the prisoners, cap
tured guns, our troops marching
over the Rhine into Germany, Cen
eral Pershing and his men in Prus-
sia, Christmas with the Army Of
Occupation in Germany, and the
homecoming.
Probably the greatest thrill Of the
picture is in the scenes where our
troops are seen going "over the top
and into the wheatfelds at 4:35
o'clock on that famous July 1s, 1919.
There is a dim, misty light, faith
fully portrayed by the photograph
er that gives these scenes pecu-
liar and fascinating intensity. 9th
er scenes of desperate fighting show
an American battery under heavy
fire from enemy guns in the Ar
gonne. In yet other scenes Ameri-
can soldiers are shown bravely ad-
vancing under shrapnel fire across
an open glade. Two are shot down
near the camera.
The activities of the American
navy furnish another important
chapter of the picture. A number
of impressive scenes show the Ger
man fleet steaming in to surrender.
Near the conclusion of the film
former Secretary McAdoo is shown
in his office at the Department of
the Treasury welcoming in Secre-
tary Carter Glass, who forthwith
sits down to his desk and writes
message to the American people.

Judging from what the newspa-

net job, it is indeed fortunate for

THURSDAY APRIL -, 1919.
BURLESON'S RECORD

in this country than Cabinet offic-
ers. for they peculiarly represent
the party that is in power and any
thing the opposition can prove
against them is reflection upon the
administration. This is why charges
against Cabinet officers should gen
orally be calmly heard and carefully
sifted. Many times, as in the case
of Daniels and in that of Baker,
they are found to be groundless.
Recently the cry against Postmas-
ter General Burleson has risen out
of the general dissatisfaction with
the handling of the telegraph and
telephone situation. From the be-
ginning there were evidences OF
determination on Mr.. Burleson's
part to gain control of the wire sys-
tenn of the country and since he has
come into this control he has done
many things that have caused critl-
cism. The raising of the wire rates
after promising to lower them and
the dismissal of the head of the
Postal Company from his position
were the climax of these proceed
ings and are what brought on the
hue and cry that now assall the
Postmaster General from all quart
ers of the compass.
The fact is, however, that the pub
lie appears to have against Burle-
son a much greater grievance than
his conduct of the country's wire
system. If half the charges that
have been brought against him by
sober-minded men are true, he has
seriousk damaged one of the most
important instrumentalities of the
nation. its postal system.
Mr.. Burleson is accused of having
weakened the once splendid morale
of the postal forces of the country
by i'll treatment of employees, espe-
cially of carriers, by rewarding long
service in the postoffices with re-
ductions in salary and dismissals,
and by influencing Congress against
increasing the pay Of the postal en-
ployes when the pay they were re-
ceiving was plainly inadequate to
the expense of living. 1t is charged
that he has let the service run down
in score of different ways. He is
accused on many other scores Of be-
ing "sweat-shopper" and ser
vice wrecker.
Mr.. Burleson took over the postal
administration from a man who,
though he was a partisan politician
of a rather low type and did many
discreditable things in the field Of
politics, yet gave the nation a pos
tai service of which it was proud.
He built up q fine morale, besides
building up a splendid machine. In
deed, the reason there is not more
general and voluble criticism OF
Burleson today is probably because
the excellent morale of the postof-
fees in many places, as in Charles
ton, has been maintained through
the efforts of good local administra-
ton and a desire on the part Of To-
cal officials to serve the public IN
the face of all handicaps. If MIR.
Burleson has done one half the
things that he is accused of having
done, his resignation should be re-
quested. If he has not done them
the public is entitled to hear his de-
NAL. If he is merely being baited, as
Daniel was baited. the people will
be with him, but if he is really
wrecking their postal service. they
must be rid of him and speedily
