The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-09-07
WELCOME.

WELCOME.
The Herald and News extends in
behalf of the good people of New
berry most cordial welcome to the
memoirs of the American Legion
who are in our midst in their annual
convention.
AS some little evidence of the well
come we extend, this paper is print
ed an their honor and their coming
to visit US for a few days.
We have been able to do this JOB
only by the hearty cooperation and
assistance of the members of the
local post, one of the best-in South
Carolina, or anywhere else. ="
Commander j. B. Settler and For
mer Commander Hal Kohn have rem
dered very valuable aid in the max
ing of this extra edition of The Her
aid and News. In fact without their
aid and cooperation it would have
been task too great for US to un-
dertake.
And then we have drawn on the
resourcefulness of our friends, j. D.
Grist of York, newspaper man to
the manner born, and also comman-
der of the post in his town, and B.
e. Adams. of Charleston and a news
paper man and adjutant of the post
of his town.
This is in fact Legion edition and
we have not undertaken to print even
any local or general news.
For the use of the cuts credit is
due the local post and vie thank them
for furnishing US the use of Them
But we only intended to speak a
word of welcome to the delegates to
the best town in South Carolina, and
the one that does the least claiming.
In fact some years ago a noted editor
of this state on a visit to Newberry
made the remark that about the only
thing we were lacking in was the
ability to claim.
You are welcome, ladies and sol
diers, to our midst and We trust you
may find your stay pleasant and
profitable and that your convention
may be one of the best ever.
1iIt so happens that we have regi-
ment of soldiers camped amongst us
at the same time of your convention,
and we understand that they are to
remain during the convention.
The merchants and business men
have been very liberal and generous
in the matter of giving assistance in
getting up the entertainment for the
convention, and have placed adver-
tisements in the official program and
then in the extra edition of The
Herald and News, so as to make it
possible, and they have done so with
so much courtesy and so pleasantly
that it has been pleasure to solicit
the advertisements that appear IN
this paper. But then the Newbercy
business men have always done their
part we'll and properly in any atsi
ali good things. And Newberryy has
never failed to GO over the top n
anything she ever undertook.
And her entertainment of the del
egates> to this convention is going
to be welcome and an entertain
ment in keeping with this statement
and the well known reputation of the
.Newberry people to go ever the top
always in whatever they do.
Our regular et{!on will appear
on Thursday afternoon as usual. We
have also printed the Diamond
Dust" the paper that is being GOT
out by the regiment that is camped
in our midst and they have in the
bunch regular newspaper men and
printers and they did the work of
setting the ads and making ready.
They issued 5000 copies of their
paper.
This Legion edition will be sent to
all of our subscribers as usual and
distributed to the delegates Wednes-
day morning.
