distinguished in civil life, having
served as a member CT the lower house
of congress prior to the war and also
the lower house OF the Confederate
congress. He was an ardent disciple
of State rights and when the crucial
period came, in the relation between
the two great sections, stood for sep
arate State action. On this field he,
along with thousands no less brave
and loyal, sealed with his blood his
devotion to duty and to country.
The three days fighting at Cold Har-
Dor closed the campaign from the
Rapidan to the James. On the night
of the 18th of June Grant pulled away
from Lees front and taking a route
farther eastward and crossing the
Pamunkey and the James, set before
Richmond and went to ditching.
4 months awful slaughter in which
he had lost $4,000 out of $4,000 men,
a number very nearly equal to Lees
army at the beginning of the cam
paign, had convinced the Union COM
mander that he must adopt other
methods than direct assault against
the incompatible infantry of the Army
of Northern Virginia.

Give us Larger Service.

The Newberry postoffice contains a
good set of men, competent and ac-
commodating, but the force is not
large enough and doubtless is over
worked at times The building is one
of. the finest in the State and New
berry is large and important enough
to have the very best service. A too
limited force cannot of necessity give
that service The public demands
should be obeyed. The government is
rich enough to give us what we want.
There is no fault to be found with the
men here, but we need more men. A
man is needed to stay at the stamp
window and one at the money order
window. etc., and another for night
work to distribute the night Cannon
Ball mail, which travelling men at the
hotel and some of the citizens want
to get when it comes. Business men
don't have time to wait for stamps and
to send money. orders and registered
letters. Business accumulates and
people wait while everybody in the
office is busy distributing the mails.

That ever has been known;
But the Z. S. boys won the victory.

The successful land sale pulled off
here last week by Mr.. Dozier only
shows what can be done by man who
knows his business and then goes and
does things. Several efforts had been
made to sell this land and for less by
considerably than half of it brought at
this sale. And the people who bought
have good bargains The great thing
is to know how.

Tuesday, February 4, 1919.

When all is said and done, gamb-
ling Is the root of most of the cotton
market evils
This we believe is true. And if the
government can stop the lottery and
the race track gamblers why can not
it take hand and stop this gambling
in a staple crop of the country which
is necessary to the human race.
There is a shortage of the crop
everywhere. 1t is stated that at the
present time the stock in Liverpool is
a million bales below what it was
year ago and there is shortage every
where else in Europe. And we have
heard that the mills in the South had
only sufficient supply to run them for
but a few months. The trouble is that
it is gambling pure and simple that is
bearing the market down as it has
gone. It is admitted that there is
shortage of cloth all around.
The only recourse we see for the
cotton farmer is to reduce. the acre
age the present year and hold on to
the cotton that he still has until the
speculator and the others in sympathy
with him is made to realize that the
farmer is master of the situation and
is going to control it.
It may be good thing for the price
to remain down for the next sixty
days because it will keep q lot of
farmers from planting big crop and
buying heavily of fertilizer. But if
the crop that is now On hand is forced
to sale at present prices it will al
most cause financial ruin to the South.

Y. j. Boozer Is Victim of "Fiu" WhiI'
Visiting Parents in South
Carolina.

Samson, Ala, Jan. 9-The entire
town was saddened when news reach
ed here of the death of former mayor
Y. ]. Boozer, which occurred at the
home of his parents, Spartanburg. S.
C. Mr.. Boozer will be greatly miss
ed in every avenue of life, not only in
Samson but in the surrounding coun-
try. He was manager of Thos. N. Bak-
er Lumber Co., of this place, which
position he has held since the organi-
zation. of the company. He was an
active leader in the local Red Cross
work.
In his death the Baptist church has
sustained heavy loss. He was a
junior deacon, and the superintendent
of the Sunday school. He was very
active in any work he undertook. He
was every ready to do more than his
part of any thing that would be bene-
fetal to his church, his town Or his
country.
He served one term as mayor of
Samson, filling the position in very
acceptable manner
About two weeks ago Mr.. Boozer
went to Spartanburg, S. c., to visit his
parents. He was stricken with in
fluenza a few days after his arrival
there and death resulted. Besides his
parents and other relatives he leaves
a wife and four small children.
His remains will arrive here today
and will be taken to Geneva for inter-
ment.

whose power enabled us to. rescue

government from barbarous negroes
and plundering carpetbaggers, and re-
store decent and civilized administra,
tion of affairs.
And with strang Inconsistency, our
.suffragists claim for State, as States,
the right to force other States, while
denying the right of State to defend
itself. AS Senator Pomerene said
after the State Of Ohio has three times
voted against woman suffrage, they
propose that the 13 States which he
named, whose combined population is
less than that of the single State OF
Ohio, shall have 13 times the weigh,
she shall have in determining whether
Ohio shall have woman suffrage, OF
not.
Our dear enthused suffrage ladies
refuse to hearken to argument, or te
the teaching Of experience. They have
caught the glimmer of an ignis fatus
a poison bred Jack-o-lantern, and
they take it for the morning star, tc
usher in brighter day than we have
known, and despite all warnings OF
the filth, and thorns, and dangers
which beset the course of the false
beacon.
''That tyrant, hope, mark how she
demineers.
She bids us quit realities for dreams
Safety and peace for hazard and
alarm;
And plunge in tolls and dangers, fol
repose-"
!! 1t were well that our people be re
minded of the evils of the former re
construction, of the frequent collisions
throughout the State, of the bloody
riots at Hamburg, Cainhoy, Ellentor
and Laurens. of our having to defend
with our pistols at Newberry, negro
voting our ticket against mob, o1
Republican negroes, of the kukluxine
necessitated for our defense and the
consequent persecution Of white men
of the election of the basest negroes
to public offices, of the control of the
legislature by as vicious negroes, Of
the perversion Of justice by negro
juries, of the ignorant negro, j. J.
Wright, placed upon the supreme
bench of the State, Of the turbulen,
negro. w. j. Whipper, and the male
factor, F. ]. Moses, Jr., elected to the
circuit bench, of the prevalent exclu
sion of decent white men from Office
of millions of dollars stolen, and OF
the State saddled with debt of other
millions. Is there any ground for sup
posing that negro majority will &C.
quit themselves better in second re.
construction, for which this constitu-
tional amendment opens the door?
That race is now as resolute to rule as
were their predecessors, and much
more capable than they of close, grind
ing tyranny:
! The suffragists seem to be dazzled
by a vision of great beatitude to fol-
low the success of their movement.
We opponents have such vision, as
to employ Lord Chatham's Ian
guage drew King Priam's curtains
in the dead of the night, and showed
him the conhagration of his empire. -
And our sense of duty says to each
one of us, .as Cacciaguida to Dante,
make all thy vision known; for al
though thy voice be disagreeable at
the first taste, it will furnish essential
nourishment when digested."
