THE LUMBER YARDS

AS noted in the account OF the proceedings of the
meeting OF the Young Business Mems Association,
Wednesday evening as presented in these columns
yesterday morning, that body has taken the inatia-
tive again inefforts to have removed to some other
locality than that now occupied, the two lumber
yards on railroad ground between the tracks
and Grand Avenue, on both sides of Court Street
right in the heart of the city, filling space that should
be devoted to other purposes,
It has been demonstrated that great part of
the people of Nogaes desire the removal proposed.
A petition for removal signed by $50 citizens and
taxpayers was presented the last Board of Alder
The matter went over at that time, with an
understanding that it would be revived when a new
City Council was elected 1t IS now two months
since election, and the Young Business Mems Assoca-
ton feel that the time has arrived in which to take
it up again and push it to completion
The meeting Wednesday evening took moderate
ground. Provision was made for appointment Of
committee to conduct the operation. President
Barnes took under advisement appointment of the
committee which will be announced when he has
determined those best calculated to serve The COM
nittee is instructed in advance to confer first with
the owners of the lumber wards and arrive if possible
at an amicabe ARRANGEMENT, hv which the property
occupied may be devoted to other purposes Failing

SHIPPERS DESIRE GOOD SERVICES

Those charged with the responsibility of regulat-
ing railroad rates and service should beal in mind
that the people first OF al desire good service and
are willing that rates shall be adjusted as to in
sure it. aooss 1sssr ,s..ss i
By good service is meant regularity and reason-
able expedition.
The farmer or rancher wants his livestock
handled promptly so as to reach the market on time
and avoid loss from shrinkage
The merchant wants his shipments delivered on
time so thath may accommodate his customers. re-
guate his stocks and effect economies in the conduct
Of his business I'm
In fact as related to traffic and TRANSFORMATION
service, regularity is the first essential.
Shippers, whether of carload of livestock or
merchandise or of tranload of lumber machinery
or automobiles not only know the value of good serv
Ice but also know that though necessarily more ex
pensive to render and therefore costing more it is the
cheapest in the end, for it eliminates losses from
Snrlnkage and damage and enables them to make de-
Unite arrangements in merchandising their stocks
and wares. 1g1rr 5suI
Good service enables the farmer or rancher to
place MS stock On the market in about as good con-
dion as when loaded and it enables the merchant to
scale down the size of his stocks thus reducing the
amount of capital required to conduct the business
as well as making it possible 70 quickly adjust his
stocks to such changes as invariably occur in climate
styles and pecularities of the trade
1t logically follows therefore that the reason

service and the auxiliary and economic relations of
such service to commerce an1 trade 1t is essential
above all things that the transportation system of
this country be efficiently operated and well main

general welfare, whereas a poorly operated and
maintained transportation system would mean in

how low, could possibly be made that would COM
pensate the people for the sacrifices and losses poor

DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU"

Loyalty to employer, next to loyalty to country
and parents typfies the highest standard Of Ameri
Ideals. In these strenuous times the integrity Of
the personal equation seems 10 be supplanting the
high standard of civilization and society established
by our forefathers.
Industry supplies the seed that makes for human
health happiness and contentment and its betrayal
leads to the misery and encouragement that fol-
low in it's wake.
AS long as you are part of an institution, de-
fend it. honor it. cherish it. work for it, stand by it
and stand by those whose business ability and means
have made it possible, its advancement your advance
ment and its achievement your achievement.
The industrial and commercial development of a
nation is the bulwark Of our liberty and indepen-
dence and it behooves us to cherish and defend it.

IN CUBA

Where Cuba dots the ocean, John Bsrleycom is
gone, to offer men a potion from his old demijohn.
Some soaks may find it handy to sail for Cuba's
shore, and get swig Of brandy, or maybe three or
four; but Cuba soon will weary of opening her gates
to pilgrims jagged and berry, to stewed hangover
skates. And she will say to Johnnie, to Barleycon,
"Aroint! Take out your bugjuice tawny, and close
your sordid joint! Your free lunch wienerwursty,
let it he straightway fired! You're bringing egions
thirsty whotnake the island tired! And strangers
weird and frisy whose breath pollutes the air. are
coming here for whiskey from, almost everywhere;
they come from western valleys, from eastern hill
and dele; they're sleeping in Alleys decaving in
our Jail. They spoil the reputation of this our
fragrant isle, they're bringino tribulation to folks
who fain would smile. So t:ke your loco-liouor,
your poisoned forty drops an do not stop to bcker,

him, no island bav or cape: his doom pursues and
haunts him. and hangs on him the crane.

PLEA FOR WOODEN BRIDGES

The tmbered states of the west have every rea-
son to encourage building more wooden bridges.
1t is well known fact that in many parts of the
country wooden bridges have stood SO to 100 years.
There are places where steel and concrete are
propet materials but nine te1chs of all bridges need
ed in any country can be buit'of wood
Douglas fir and yellow pine will carry more
than steel.
One western county has bridge crew, buys all
its lumber in carloads, and Iuilds only wooden
bridges.
The bridges are rooted and painted and outlast
steel Bridges are built of home products and with
home labor.
The time has come when western states that is
size bonds for bridge construction should insist
using western material and keep money at home.

ID ECAUSE the drama of history,
LID like that of the theater, must
have it's heroes and villains, James
Buchanan has been painted all black
in the opening scene Of the Civil war,
loaded down with all the weaknesses
and sins of his generation and BAN
ished forever into the wilderness. Any
one can see now, with the aid Of hind
sight. what Buchanan should have
done, but not what he could have done.
The North itself, in the bewildering
winter Of 1S60-61 was far from
agreed that secession could or should
be stopped by force. "Let the Union
slide" the abolitionists said. "Let the
erring brethren CO." said Horace Gree
ley. "Wayward sisters, depart in
peace" General Scott would have said
to tie seeding states.
In common with the politicians OF
his fast vanishing time Buchanan
clung to the idea that freedom rather
than slavery was to blame for all the
trouble. He had not gone with Doug
las and the northern wing Of the di-
vided Democrats in the campaign Of
1860, but had sided with the southern
ers and voted for Breckinridge.
When the first state seeded he was
already within ten weeks of the end
OF his term. with a hostile congress in
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1920-09-07

TAMES BUCHANAN was the last
y president to wrap his neck in a
stock, as Monroe was the last to wear
knee-breeches-an he was the last
Of an era. An age passed away as
he passed out OF the White House.
After Buchanan's birth at a Penn
sylvania log cabin, his father, who
was an Irish immigrant, prospered as
a country storekeeper and was able
to send his son to college. But the
college sent him back as wild spirit
that it could not tame. The pastor
of the scandalized family begged and
obtained a chance for the wayward
youth, who improved it so well that
ne graduated first in his class. Never
theless, the still unforgiving faculty
denied him the honors of his rank.
This would be but dull story Of
law and politics were it not for a
single tragic episode which cast a
shadow over the whole after life Of
our bachelor president, the only presi-
dent to die a bachelor. A young wom-
an, to whom Buchanan was engaged
in early manhood, daughter Of the
wealthiest family in the county, wrote
him q letter Of dismissal under the
spell Of a jealousy which had been
aroused by gossips. Pride on both

front of him and behind him country
as irresolute as himself. AS he saw
the Union falling to pieces he hoped
on that it could be patched together
again by another old-fashioned COM
promise. All the while there were
southern members of his cabinet who
were staying in Washington only to
ship federal war supplies south and
to aid in the preparations for. destroy
ing the government.
Edwin NJ. Stanton of Ohio, although
himself a Breckenridge Democrat
bluntly warned Buchanan: "You are
sleeping on a volcano. The ground is
mined all around and under you and
ready to explode, and without prompt
and energetic action you will be the
last president of the United States"
"Mr. Stanton" pleaded the feeble
old man. "for Gods sake come in and
help me-"
The first day that Stanton took his
seat at Buchanan's cabinet table he
told the secretary Of war, Floyd OF
Virginia, that he sought to be hanged
on eallows higher than Haman's" for
having ordered Major Anderson, with
out the knowledge Of the president,
to stay in a defenseless old fort at
Charleston harbor instead of trans
ferring himself to Fort Sumter, as the
major had done in defiance Of orders.
Before the middle Of January the
cabinet was reorganiZed and Buchanan
was surrounded by stanch Union men,
who swept him along at a pace which
sometimes left him breathless. The
new secretary Of the treasury, John A.
Dix quietly reported one day that he
had sent to New Orleans his now
famous message: "If any man at
tempts to haul down the American
flag shoot him on the spot.'
'Did YOU write such a letter as
that?" Buchanan exclaimed.
"No," Dix replied. Il telegraphed it"
Had Buchanan been a man OF iron
iastead of putty probably he could
have done no good in that chaotic
interregnum between the election and
inauguration of his successor. If he
had taken any step which should have
hastened Virginia and Maryland into
revolt there would haye been TO ma
tional capital on March :, 1861. The
retiring president would only hare
made heavier, perhaps impossible, the
task which he wearily laid upon a
stouter soul when he transferred the
presidency to Lincoln and sadly tot
tered into the shadows. -
