MOTHERS-READ THIS.

Under the significant title, Watch
Your STEP" Maj. J. C. Hemphlll
makes this pertinent comment on the
Abbeville affair in the Spartanburg
Journal:
Whatever the result of the criminal
trial at Abbeville, the statement one
of the prisoners is said to have made
to the Sheriff of Anderson county
when he was arrested-''he thought If
the girl would go riding with him
that she was crooked"-should I'M
press the mothers of the State with
the necessity of warning their daugh-
ters against undue familiarities with
Young men whose character they are
not fully advised.
In these intense times when. SO
MANY of the old-fashioned moral bars
have been let down, when social con-
ditions are so unsettled and the
younger generations are so. forward,
when society is fed to satisfy on sex
problems, too great care cannot be
taken to guard against the least ap-
pearance of evil; for once the flower
is kissed the bloom is she'd.
Here IS Something for the fathers
as we'll .as the mothers to think about
and to act upon. One Of the great
troubles in this day is that we are
all too busy to think anything at all
about the American home, which has
been in reality the: bulwark OF this
country, and somehow it does not
seem to US that we get as much ac-
complished as we did in the days be-
fore this great unrest and hurry
when men and women had time to
give a little to preserving and main
tanning the integrity and sacredness
of the American home.
Too much familiarity is not good
any way. A certain amount OF dig
nifed, reserve is good thing. Some
how it appears at times that we have
forgotten the correct meaning OF that
good old English word, gentleman,
and that other one, gentlewoman.
Men and women should be polite and
courteous and social and mingle with
one another so as to know each other
better, but that does not mean that
there should be too much familiarity,
because then we are too apt to forget
that respect which is due the one to
the other, and which is necessary for
the stability of our social system.
When YOU strike blow at this you
are striking severe blow at the very
foundation stone of our government.

The greater portion of the editor
ial matter in this issue was written
and in type for the last paper, but
the advertiser came along and room
had to be made for him. He makes

we would have increased the pages

famine and general scarcity we feel
that we can not print more than the

THE OVERALLS FAD.

Somehow we are not convinced
that the overalls fad is going to help
the cause for which it purports to
offer help. 1t will very likely cause
the price of overalls to advance. In
fact, we noticed that as soon as the
! movement got we'll under way in Bir-
mingham the price of overalls ad-
; vancedy from $500 to $500. Those
who are advocating and forming the
clubs are not the ones who wear over
alls for the purpose Of saving their
good clothes, and will very likely 60
right on buying the same amount OF
clothes they did before, and the fel-
low who wears overalls because they
are necessary to save his clothes, and
who is the real working man, will
have to pay more for the very things
he really needs.
We do not question the fact that
clothes are selling at almost exorDl-
tant prices, but as a matter of fact
the zeal saving should be made in not
buvlng extravs mt clothes and IN
wearing the ones you have so long
as YOU can wear them. Most of US
really can do with just about halt
the amount of clothes we really buy,
and if we did, those who are able to
buy clothes without feeling the pinch,
it would tend to reduce the price for
those who do not have more than
they really need.
We notice that the club at Yale
is the old clothes club, and that
strikes US as being the sensible club
to form, and then follow it out strict
!! ly. Many of the men in this coun-
trv have a sufficient number of gar
ments that they have discarded that
could be used for quite while If they
are cleaned up and Hended little,
and that would be a greater saving
and a saving where it would count
And then there are just lots of men,
and men right here in Newberry, who
buy great many more clothes than
they need. The point we are trying
to emphasize is that the trouble with
most of US is that we are too extrava,
CANT in buying clothes just as we are
too extravagant in most everything
else. There is one provision IN Yale
club platform that we like. 1t Is
stated that there is no embargo to be
;piaced on the use of clean linen.

other day when the Carolina boy:
and goods had their parade intro

APPEAL FOR THE SCHOOLS.

In another column we present q
statement and an appeal from the
board of trustees Of the city schools.
1t is matter of vital importance to
the people of this community. Not
a personal matter Of the trustees.
The schools belong to the children of
this community, and it is the duty of
the citizens to see that they are prop
erly maintained and sustained. That
sufficient money is forthcoming to
meet the needs of the schools, both
in the matter of paying adequate
salaries to the teachers and all other
expenses necessary to proper and
efficient system of schools.
The trustees are simply put in
charge of the management Of the
peoples business, and they have
managed the schools faithfully and
well and as patriotic duty, and no
one will get the idea that the appeal
of these officials is any other than in
the interest of the owners of the
business. It is a business PROPOSE
tion pure and simple. The pay of
the teachers should and will have to
be increased and the only way to in
crease it is for the people to furnish
the money. The trustees explain
what is necessary to be done and we
are sure the people desire that the
business shall be run for the best
interest of the community, and that
they will provide the means. Then
let these managers of this business,
the trustees, put the matter in shape
for the people to provide the means,
that is to say, give the people an op-
portunity to order the election and to
vote the tax necessary. That IS the
proposition. No good citizen will be
unwilling to help and to contribute
his share, or rather we should say,
will be unwilling to make the invest
ment in the shape of tax necessary
to keep the Newberry schools right
up to the top in efficiency, and tc
give the children of the community the
very best educational advantages
that it is possible to get with the
necessary outlay of money.
The Herald and News called atten
ton to this matter few issues bacl
when the question of securing State
aid for the schools was mentioned
and other schools were voting taxe
in order to qualify for this aid. Ane
when these schools in the rural dis
tricts were realizing that IN order tt
have competent teachers they woult
have TO increase the pay. But /
seems to US that the tax levy that VIZ
now have would qualify the Newberr!
schools for a participation IN thl

seas for more than year, and did
not return until some while after the
signing of the armistice, being re-
tanned IN the service. County Chair
man Harry H. Blease has also been
mentioned for the senate and may
enter the race. He has been county
chairman for the past two years and
held the same position away back IN
the early days of the Tillman move
ment. DR.. Geo. Y. Hunter Of Pros
perity has also been mentioned as a
proba Bile candidate for the senate.
Dr.. Hunter has never held or sought
political Office, but has always taken
an active part in all matters pertain
ing to the welfare of the county.
For the house it is taken for grant
ed that the present members will
stand to succeed themselves. They
generally do. The present members
are Geo. S. Mower, H. H. Evans and
J. William Folk. There does not
seem to be any general desire to go
to the legislature. We have heard
the name of w. R. Watson Of Whit
n1ire mentioned, and DR.. q. T. Pinner
of Pomaria, and Hayne Dominick of
Chappells, but we do not know if
any of these gentlemen are seriously
considering the matter, or whether
they have thought Of it at all. Then
from our new territory the name Of
w. NJ. Wilson of Peak has been men
toned, and G. H. Shealy from down
that side also has been mentioned as
a: probable candidate for the house:

Monday in May and the State con-
vention the second Wednesday in
May. =
There seems to be less interest in
the campaign and the political situa-
tion this year than there has been
in many years past. 1t may be the
quiet before the storm, but you
rarely hear the name of any candi
date or prospective candidate men
toned for, any of the minor Offices
of the county, or for any other posi-
ton. So far only one candidate has
announced, and that is for coroner.
Mr.. G. H. Ruff has had his name
before the public in the newspapers
for several weeks. The others are
waiting to see developments at the
county convention, possibly.
90 -:
1t is very probable, however, that
this will be one year in Newberry
county when all party lines and fac
tional divisions will be laid aside, and
men, and intelligent men who here
tofore have been holding causcuses
and voting for or against men be-
cause they were lined up for one or
the other side of the factienal divi-.
sion in this state will cast their bal
lots as intelligent men and good citi-
zens should, for the best fitted man
for the position he seeks. 1t has
been a little remarkable in the days
gone how our very best men and
most intelligent and substantial citi-
zens were governed by partisan poll
tics in selecting men for positions in
the county purely administrative,
and how they would let their preju-
dices govern and rule their action in
voting for men whom they would ad-
nit very frankly ere not as we'll
qualified for the position as some
other candidate, but that other can
didate did not agree with them in
State politics, or was not going to
vote in State politics as they thought
he should. If we can be rid of that
Sort of narrow prejudice it will spell
a good omen for Newberry, and for
it's growth in every way. We SIN
cerely hope that nothing will happen
to divide our people. Of course,
there are still few narrow partlsans
who have. been the benefciaries of
this prejudice who will be sorry that
it's days are numbered.
The present State senator an
nounced during the last session of
the senate, so the papers stated,
that he would not be back any more,
which we suppose being interpreted
from his viewpoint means that he
will not be candidate. No doubt If
he could be persuaded that there
was unanimous demand for his SER
vices he would make the sacrifice to
answer such call. For this position
the name of Captain Neal W. Work
man has been very prominently men
toned. Captain Workman ran for
this place four years ago and lacked
only few votes Of winning. When
the United States got into the world
war he Immediately offered his SER
vices, and at first he was refused ad-
mission to the training camp, but
finally got in and saw service over
