DON'T KNOCK THE HOME PAPER

Things will indeed come to sorry
pass when the people of community
fail to give the local paper their 10y
atty and assistance along material
lines. The newspaper in a small com
munity is sometimes the only means
of letting the outside world know
that there is such a place. Kindly ex-
cuse our slang expression. but did you
ever see a community without a news
paper that amounted to hill of
beams? If you have it is the only one
in existence. When the local paper is
missing from community, that spir-
it which inspires growth is missing al
so. Don't be a knocker on your home
paper. 1t is the one thing that will
make your community Crowd

Agricultural Fair Opportunities

| The people of Arion and immediate
vicinity and all of Crawford county
are proud of the attendance at the
Crawford county fair just ended at
Arion. The weather the first two
days %as rather discouraging, but
with Friday came better weather. and
Saturday was an ideal day until to-
ward evening when rain storm came
up. The attendance at the Friday pro-
gram Melted the association about
81 900 and on Saturday the receipts
were $500, with three days of good
weather the association would have
cleared nice sum Of money. AS 1t
was all expenses will be paid. 1t
was demonstrated, however, that peo-
pie are interested in agricultural
fairs, and will attend and will also
labor to help make the fair a success.
The livestock exhibit at the Arion
fair was one of the best ever held in
this part of Iowa, and the very best
ever held in Crawford county, The
agitation right up until the last in an
effort to get the breeders of the coun-
ty interested in taking stock to the
fair, and the hearty cooperation of
the officers OF the fair brought out a
large showing in cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs. There were more than two
hundred head Of hogs on. exhibition,
some Of them had been at other fairs
but the owners of the exhibits stated
that Arion beat them all. The Of
ficers Of the fair association had gone
to extra expense and much labor in
providing suitable quarters for the
stock, an dtheir efforts were amply re-
stock, and their efforts were amply re-
paid with the exhibits, In another
part Of this issue we give list OF pre-
miums awarded.
The attractions at this years fair
were above the average, and gave uni
versal satisfaction. The free attrac-
lions were exceptionally good; large
platform had been erected and all
could command splendid view of the
performers.
There were a good number of race
horses entered and the races proved
exciting and fast, considering the
track after receiving two rain. storms.
The floral hall was patronized to
capacity. and the many exhibits were
viewed with interest. The ladies from
over the county took great interest
and their handiwork was to be found
on all sides. Canned fruits. breads,
cakes, pies, and the like together with
the fancy work, made splendid exhib-
its. The two seed companies from
Denison also had fine exhibits, as did
a number OF merchants.
The paid attractions did thriving
business and gave universal satisfac-
ton. In fact no complaint was heard
from any one; all declared the fair
to be just to their liksngsP Eyls a-st

OUTSIDE BOOZE CUT OFF
FROM ALL DRY STATES

Washington, Jan. 13.--No longer will
the wet" gentleman in dry" State
be permitted to import private bot
tie for home consumption"
The United States supreme court
handed down decision today holding
that the Reed "bone-dvy'" prohibition
absolutely prohibits interstate ship
ment into dry States of intoxicating
liquor for beverage purposes even
when intended for personal use."
This decision nullifes State statutes
permitting limited amounts OF liquor
to be shipped in for personal use.
The decision is the outgrowth Of
proceedings brought against one Dan
Hill, charged with taking a quart of
alcoholic liquor into West Virginia as
the law Of that State permits. The
lower court dismissed the indictment
against Hill, but it is sustained by this
decision of the supreme court.
Justices McReynolds and Clark dis
sented, declaring in minority opinion
that the Reed amendment is not an
interstate commerce regulatory meas
ure, but a direct intermeddling with
a States affairs.

There is very great difference of
opinion among the various boards of
health in the State as to the value of
quarantine and the kind of quarantine
that is worth while in the prevailing
epidemic. 1t only shows that so far
we know very little about the disease.
We are all doing the best we can and
, there is no desire or intention to criti-
cize any one, and the only thing we
can do is to cooperate with the au-
thorities and do the best we can with
the lights before us.

All of us. are willing to do anything
that we can that. will check the dis
ease. A sign is placed at the homes
where there are cases of the infuen-
"a, but those who are not sick at the
homes are permitted to come and go
at their pleasure. The banks and the
! stores and the mills are not interfer-
ed with and are permitted to go on as
before.
We would not be understood as set.
ting up our judgment against that OF
the board of health, or of making any
captious criticism of their acts, be-
cause we must believe that they are
acting only for what in their judgment
is in the interest of the public health.
But is such quarantine as this
worth anything at all, and will it con-
serve to the prevention of the spread
of the disease? When you have cases
of smallpox or other contagious and
infectious diseases do you permit
persons to come and go from the house
in which the patient is kept?
Would it not be a good idea if we
are to have quarantine to keep even
the members of the family where
there is the disease from coming out
and in In their own homes, if
we are to quarantine.
Is it right and does it conserve the
health of the community and help to
prevent the spread of the disease to
select only two legitimate businesses
and close them and let the others go
on and people congregate in them ad
libitum? We have no interest in the
picture show nor in any pool room,
and as a matter of fact, do not go to
either, but is it right to the gentlemen
who own them to close them down

places run with no restrictions? Or
is it true that it is more dangerous to
the public health to congregate in a
pool room or in a picture show than it
is to remain closed up in warm mill
room, or to mingle unfortunately in
the crowded stores. The men who
are running the picture show and the
pool room, if they do not make the
money today it is gone, while the
merchant or the mill or the bank, if
they do not sell the goods or manu-
fracture the cotton or lend the money
they still have it. Besides the picture
show man has to pay for his reefs
whether he uses them or not, and he
is losing not only what he would

We notice that all requests for the
disqualification of the 30th have been
withdrawn and all have united in ask
ing that the, division be returned to
Greenville and demobilized there. One
report is that the camp at Greenyille
is to be closed at once and another IS
that it will be selected for the demob-
ilization of the division. We have felt
all along that Camp Sewer is the prop
er place for the rehabilitation of the
troops. They were trained in this
country at this camp and it would be
but proper to bring them back there
and let them go from there to their
homes. One day it is stated that the
division is on the way home and the
next day there is some other report.

done. The department does not seem

THE QUARANTINE.

The city board of health has ex.
tended the quarantine to the
churches and Sunday schools and the
picture show and the pool rooms. The
State board of health has ordered all
schools and churches in the rural dis
tricts closed. Children under II years
of age are not permitted on the
streets, under the regulations adopted
by the board. The people are warned
not to congregate in public places and
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-01-28

The Herald and News is anxious to
do anything and to help in any way
that will bring relief to the people
from the influenza, and we want to
stand with the authorities and will
sustain them in any way that we can,
but it does not change our opinion
that the kind of quarantine that we
have had is not worth much.
The State board has ordered the
sheriff to close all schools in the coun-
ty and all churches and to stop the
people from congregating.
We were reading the other day that
the statistics showed that in New
York city, where they did not quar-
antine that the death rate was only
about fifty per cent. of what it was in
Boston and some other places, and
only SO per cent. of Philadelphia.
In fact, We have never believed in
closing the churches. There can not
be much danger from contagion by
going to church, and this is time if
we really believe what we preach and
profess that we should gather in the
houses of worship.
But we believe in obeying the law
and advise all the people to submit
and follow the regulations laid down
by those in authority and those who
know more about the disease than
we do.
1t is not so bad in the town and ii
might be worse in the county. The
thing to do is to take all the precau
tons you can and be cheerful all the
time and do not look for trouble, be.
cause it will come soon enough.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-01-28
nesses and SO recognized. Is it right

nesses and so recognized. Is it right
; to- pick out these places and close
them, and not the others, or even
quarantine people who are in the same
house with the disease.
Of course all Of US want to do the
best thing that we can to check the
dread disease, and few paltry dol
lars should not weigh in the balance
against the health of the community.
We admit that, but it is the discrim-
ination that we are talking about. We
believe in equal justice to all the cit
liens.
The point we are trying to make is,
Is such quarantine as we have worth
anything? Frankly, we do not think
it is. In fact, we have our doubts
about quarantine being of any partic-
ular good in the present case at all.
Certainly a partial quarantine is not
! worth much. The disease is more
!! prevalent. in the rural districts than
in the towns, and there is very little
congregating of the people in the
country.
And, by the way, we referred in a
former article to serum or vaccine
about which we read in the Atlanta
CONSTITUTION, and just last Friday we
read in the Constitution report from
Georgia town, in which the disease
had prevailed and in which several
deaths had occurred, this sentence:
"The local health authorities attri-
butte the abatement of the epidemic
here to the almost general use of the
Rosenow vaccine as a preventive meas
ure."
Now, what the Rosine vaccine is we
do not know, but if it will prevent the
spread of the disease it is worth the
looking into by our health authorities.
Just the other day the legislature gave
the State board special sum of $10,-
900 to fight the disease.
Every one must cooperate and do
what ne can, but there is no good in
getting Mysteries over the situation.
We must be cheerful and look on the
bright side of the situation. The
State of mind has great deal to do
with the condition of the body.
AS to closing the churches, we
never have believed that they should
be closed, and while we may not at
tend service as often as we should
we would hate to live in community
! where there were no churches and
no church service. We are told some
where in the Good Book of the man
who made the Lord, even the most
High, his habitation, that for that rea-
son no evil shall befall him and no
plague come nigh to his dwelling, OF
words similar. Read the 91st Psalm

The great slump in the price of cot
ton is to frighten the farmer into a
panicky condition and get him to sell.
The mills are short on cotton and
have only enough to last them for
about 60 or 80 days, and all the farm
er must do is to sit steady in the boat
and hold fast and decide to reduce his
acreage the next year and all will
come out right. Don't get scared.

boys return from France, not only
those of his own descendants who are
over there, of whom there are several,
but also the boys from the neighbor-
hood, and he often talked of them and
wanted the privilege of greeting them
on their return.
He lacked less than two years OF
reaching the century mark. In the
coming November he would have been
80 years old. In 1915 wrote a story

of the remarkable history Of this re-

members Of the family. At that time

gone up and down 1ife's highway with
him for nearly Is years was still liv-

died short time after that and since
that time Mr.. Shealy has. been divid-
ing his time among his three living
sons. He had lived in the same house
for near on to IS years and his chill
dren were born and reared in this
home. The first death in the family
was that of his second son, Mr.. Dray-
ton I. Shealy, in 1911, at the age of
81. 1t was the first death in the fam
lily in 6S years. His first son, Mr..
Ged. NJ. Shealy died in 1913 at the age
of So. Mr.. Shealy and his three old

and especially to greet the boys as
they returned from France. But the

In the death of Senator Nicholson
the State has lost a good man. We
knew him quite well, having served in
the legislature with him some years
ago. He was kind and gentle and at
the same time strong and steadfast in
the maintenance of his opinions and
always with due regard for the opin-
ions of others.
The influenza has taken heavy toll
and has been no respector of persons.
