A WORTH WHILE MEMORIAL

A friend sends us copy OF a
Sumter paper in which appears the
proposition to build park as a me-
mortal to the soldiers of the world
war. The details of the proposition
are set forth, but the main point of
interest to us is, and the suggestion
of the friend who sends the paper,
would it not be a capital idea to let
the memorial that Newberry has been
talking about take the shape of a
park.
Every one who has read The Her
aid and News for the past 20 years
or more is familiar with the many
things we have said and tried to do to
get a park in Newberry, but so far
all our efforts have failed. We had
the thing almost done at one time,
and we began to feel that we were
going to get the park. We would be
glad to see real park in Newberry,
and the town should have it, and it
could be build very easily if there
was a little cooperation and a united
effort in that direction.
But somehow, as much as we would
like to see park, and as much as we
need a park, and as much good as
such a thing would do for the peo-
pie of the town, we are not so sure
that we are ready to advocate park
as fitting memorial to our boys who
engaged in the world war.
Efforts are being made to erect q
building in Columbia by the State
as a fitting memorial, and it is to be
made artistic and to be used simply
and purely as memorial and not tt
be utilized for anything else, in othe1
words, the utilitarian idea is to be
nainimized. AS we understand it the
State is appropriating for this build
inc 100000 and the remainder Of
$5O0,oOO is to be raised by individu
al effort and subscription. That /:
all right, but we want Newberry tx
have her own memorial, and this vii
not prevent US from contributing t.

Whereas, it should be pointed out
to them that the American Cotton
association offers q great field for
both service and business, that as a
result of the organization it means
an Improvement in rural conditions,
it will mean that the living conditions
in the entire rural sections Of the
South will be changed for the better;
it means that present conditions con-
cerning illiteracy, bad roads and
other such conditions will be re-
moved; it also means that farming
will be vastly benefited, that cotton
farming will be conducted on prof
liable basis, that not only the inter-
Iests of the farmer but the various
allied business interests of the South
will all receive vast commercial ben
eft, therefore,
'Be it resolved, That the govern
or of each of the cotton growing
states is most earnestly requested
and urged to issue a proclamation
setting aside regular day for pub
lie meeting in his State, called for
the purpose of examining the plans
and organization of same and ar
ranging to put same into effect and
force.
"Be it further resolved, That the
commissioners of agriculture, presi-
dents of farmers unions, presidents
extension departments, presidents OF
agricultural colleges, all presidents
of chambers of commerce and other
similar organizations interested in
the development of the South are
earnestly requested to sign a joint
call with the governor for such mass
meeting and to use every effort to
push forward this great work with all
possible speed.
':Be it futreher resolved, That the
board of directors of the American
Cotton Association and all people In
terested in same in each of the cot

and helping in the erection Of tne
State memorial.
Our suggestion for the Newberry
memorial is also building, and to
make of the building a library, and
iat the same time place where the
records of the men who took part in
the struggle could be kept, and it
Iseems to US that if we could get the
county to turn over for that purpose
the old court house building no more
lsuitable place, and no more suitable
building could be found, and the cost
of overhauling and making suitable
for such purposes would not be so
great, and that money could be
raised by subscription from those
who wanted to have part in such
good cause. This matter of making
a public library out of this building
was discussed some years ago. The
three rooms in the rear could be
made into one long room for the
library, and the two rooms in the
front could be utilized for the re-
cords and rest rooms for the men and
the women, and the upstairs could be
used for hall and for public gather
ings of all kinds, and with some work
the building could be made ideal for
the purposes here named, and at the
same time be a memorial for the
bows who went over and for those
who remained at home. The details
could be worked out by the proper
authorities, and we do not believe
that any county would have better
or more substantial memorial than
could be made of this building, and
then we would have county library
and a good public hall. Of course,
there would have to be some repair
work done and some changes in the
building to make it convenient and
comfortable, but this is a grand old
building and substantially erected.
There are two large vaults in the two
front rooms which would be we'll
adapted for the safe keeping of any
records, and with provision for a
competent librarian and keeper OF
the place it would be a great educat-
or for the people of the entire coun-
tv as we'll as a convenient resting
place. What do you think about the
proposition? Of course, there will
be those who will oppose it, we know.
There were some, years ago, who
wanted to pull the building down,
but we helped to save it then and we
want now to help make it one of the
most useful institutions of the town
and county.
We want the people who are inter-
ested in building a memorial, and all
of us should be, to think about this
sort of worth while memorial, and If
there be those who oppose it let US
hear form them, and if there be those
who favor the plan here suggested
let us hear from them.

BUSINESS NOTICE.

For several months we nave 1alleo
to keep our mailing list credited up
as it should be. In fact, we have
neglected our subscription list. AT
last we have been able to correct it
up to date. We have reset it entire
". In view of this delay and neg
lect we have several hundred sub
scribers who have let their subscrip-
tions expire. We have neglected to
notify them Of the date of expiration.
We ask you now to examine the
date on the label opposite your name.
If there is error we will be pleased
to correct it if you will call our at
tention to it. 1t is very probable
that we have made some mistakes.
It would be remarkable if we have
not
In the next few days we will mail
a statemnt to all who are in arrears.
We must get again on the cash in ad-
vance system. We can not operate
the paper in any other way with any
degree of satisfaction to ourselves
or to our subscribers. We want all
of you to remain in the family and
we need few more members. But
to do so you must be in good stand
ing. That means you must pay up.
The management has also come to
the conclusion in view of the high
price of everything that the price of
subscription must go to $500 per
year. We had hoped that maybe
prices would settle again to normal
and we could print the paper at $3.50
but instead everything is still
soaring.
But we are going to give every
one the opportunity to get another
year at the old price. So the in
crease will be put into effect on the
first day of September, and if you
want to do so you may pay another
year at $3.50 it matters not what
your date now is. But after the
first day of September of this good
YEAR The Herald and News will be
81 the year. Come right along now
and take advantage of this opportun-
ity to save fifty cents. We are max
ing a newspaper now, and our pur-
pose is to make it better with every
issue, but it takes labor and paper
and ink and other things and all of
these cost money. We want you to
remain with us, and we know that
you want to pay US enough so that
we may meet the expenses of the Of
flee and have little over, and that
you will be glad to pay the addition
al price for real newspaper.
This offer gives you six weeks in
which to square your account with
us and get The Herald and News,
that good old paper, for an entire
year still at the old price of $3.50,
which has always been too cheap.
Better attend to this at once and not
wait until it is too late. Examine the
label on your paper and see how the
matter stands with you and US.

"BLACK JACK" KISSES JEAN
French Boy Reminds American Gen.

An old Atlanta newspaperman now
in France writes describing a visit
of General Pershing to the front just
before the drive for and capture Of
Fismes.
when the general came into the
yard at Annex twenty-nine of us were
playing tag with Jean, the 6-year-old
mascot of Base No. 49," he says.
"Of course we all snapped to atten
ton and saluted. And little Jean,
clicking his heels in true military
fashion, came to attention with an
American salute, holding it like a
small statue until the big chief re-
turned it. The instant the general
finished his salute he walked over to
Jean, lifted him up and gave him a
regular old campaigners hug with a
regular American daddy kiss right on
the mouth. Jean, though blushing
furiously, chirped: Hello, General
Pair-r-rshang And there came into
the generals eyes a suspicious mois-
ture indicating that he might be think

rLRI TX CAS UN HUNS
BY HIDING TREASURE
Family in Lille ConceaIs Auto and
Tires From Soldier
SearCherS.

II Is now permissible to tell Of the
hiding places of French and Belgian
Inhabitants, where they saved person
al property from requlsition or con-
fiscatiOn by the Germans. This in
formation was at first held up for
fear the Germans In their retirement
might tear down houses where they
suspected concealment of property.
In Lille one family had an alcove
boarded up and wall paper plastered
over the boards to match the paper
OF the rest Of the chamber, which was
the living room. In this alcove were
hidden a complete automobile, except
Ing the frame, including two extra
tires; also 800 bottles of wine. bronze
and copper candlesticks and other
ornaments. This family was in "hot
water" several times when visited by
German searching parties.
The method Of the searchers was
for noncommissioned officers to en-
gage the woman of the house in con-
versation upon some alleged breach
Of regulations while German soldiers
secretly made their way into the
house and gained every floor.
The soldiers with hammers would
sound walls, ceiling and floors in an
endeavor to find the suspected cache.
They would trace exposed water
pipes, gas pipes and electric wires.
The family with the boarded up al
cove was fortunate to escape all the
wall tests.
A number of families. even with
German officers and soldiers billeted
in their homes, were able to clean out
hiding places behind wainscoting
where they stored surprising amount
Of wine and other goods greatly de-
sired by the enemy. Many hole
was dug In cellars and covered with
big fiat stones, and many persons had
money and jewelry sewed up in hid
den pockets In their clothing.
"They were not so clever as they
thought they were, those Germans"

French city that had been occupied
by the Germans. Then with a wink
they show you what escaped becom-
ing loot.

THIS CHURCH IS RICH
Refuses One Million for an Oil Well
in Cemetery.

The Merriam Baptist church of
Ranger. Tex, which already has ac-
CURED an income Of 100000 a year
through oil wells sunk i'm its church
yard. has refused $1,000,000 for the
right to develop wells in the grave
yard which adjoins the church, it be-
came known here.
The graveyard now is surrounded
by oil wells and numerous companies
have made the congregation, which
has only 20 members, fabulous offers
for the burying ground.
The congregation has voted that
none of its members shall profit per-
sonally by its good fortune, but that
the entire income shall be devoted to
the glory of God. The sum of $780,
900 already has been distributed
among Baptist institutions in this
state.
