Last Year and This

A young business man of Newberry
has given US some figures showing the
difference in prices of certain articles
now as compared with those of last
year. For instance 100 pounds of
sugar last year cost $4,000; the price
for the same amount this year is
$3.50. A bushel of Irish potatoes last
year cost 5000; now $500.

LETTER FROM GREENVILLE

Grecnville, S. c.,
May 2o, 1921.
Mr.. w. S. Matthews, Secretary,
Chamber of Commerce,
NeWberry, S. G.
Dear Mr. Matthew's:
! regret that l did not get to see
YOU once more before the departure
of our party from Newberry on the
morning of our stop there while on
tour of the state wanted to explain
to you that officials of our party
thought it best to return to our train
without an official welcome from your
city because of the early hour and the
limited time we had to spend in New
berry.
We appreciate your thoughtfulness
in meeting us at such an early hour
and trust that on our next visit to
Newberry the time will offer more
opportunity and we can meet the bus
mess men of the city.
Kindly express to the people OF
your city our regret at being unable
to see them because of the inconven-
lent hour, and assure them that If we
ever have an opportunity we will
again visit Newbery at an hour which
offers more advantages in order that
we may become better acquainted.
Our trip was great success, and
we are sorry you could not be with US.
Again thanking you for your cour-
tesies, and with kindest regards, we
are,
Cordially yours,
Young Mems Business League,
Moss E. Penn, Secretary.

"Yibb" and the P. Nuts

That's not his name, out whole fots
of people call him "Bibb'>, for short
of Vivian, the "Bibb" being tongue
twisted from "Viv." He says that
whoever sent in the advertisement OF
his eating peanuts in the opera house
told what was not so and put him
down wrong. He assures us that when
he eats peanuts at the opera house ne
does not throw the hulls on the floor
he puts them back in the bag or IN
his pocket. To that extent l.. V. Rus-
sell sets a good example for peanut
fiends, which they ought to follow;
but a better plan would be for Mana
ger Wells to have some little recep-
tacles made and tackled on to the
backs of the chairs for the accommo-
dation of those who have the mania
for eating peanuts during the show
ing of the pictures. This would keep
them from scattering the hulls over
the floor, although that is the least
part of the annoyance to a good part
of the audience.
Other people go there to hear the
fine music and to see the excellent
pictures generally on, but the ENJOY
ment is marred by the loud cracking
of hulls and the odor of peanuts from
the heated breath of combined mouths
wide open in the rear, at the front or
on the sides, permeating the envelop-
ing atmosphere, to the disgust of ev-
ervbody but the ignorant eater and
his class.
Vivian does another good thing-he
says he goes up in front to eat, SO
as to- be out of reach of the larger
part of the crowd.
If it is not possible to break up the
habit, we suggest that Manager Wells
put on contest and offer prize tor
that person who can eat the fastest
and longest. Harry Campsen, VINO
sells lots of peanuts-and good ones
at that-could act as official salesman.
We just wanted to set l.. '. Russell
right in this matter, as he has been
unjusly put down as one who eats ms
peanuts and gets rid of the hulls like
the common run, whereas the truth IS
he has respect enough for the ladies
in the audience to try to get out Oh
their way by going as high up as pos
sible when he does eat peanuts at the
opera house, and he does not throw
the bulls on the floor. thereby showing
his respect for the management. II
YOU can't do any better, at least 90

to take up the matter. A law that is
enforced always originates in the de-
termination of the people that GER

haven't public sentiment behind them
are not worth the paper they are
written on. We have prohibition

was to cure all evils, and Columbia
at this very time is in the throes Of
the heaviest criminal court in her
history. During the past week fifty

four more weeks of this present Grim

There was an article in The Herald
and News not long since with regard
to the caring for Rosemont cemetery.
Surely Newberry will not let this
hallowed spot be neglected. There
the loved ones are-those who have
passed through the gateway-and
whose mortal remains there resting
in peace take US back to the days of
innocent childhood, and whose i'm
mortal souls beckon us on to try to
live up to the ideals set by Him who
came upon earth to redeem the sins
of man, and who gave his life that
these sins might be redeemed. Mon
day was Memorial day. Prior to
Good Friday morning in 1917 it was
Memorial day for the veterans of the
North, our own Memorial day for our
Confederate veterans being fixed for
May 10. Even after that Good Friday
morning it was only Memorial day for
the soldiers of the North until the
great world war was ended, and
thousands of the youth and flower OF
American manhood had made the su-
preme sacrifice on the battlefields OF
Europe, and on foreign seas, and in
the air, under the blue dome which
God created for this little world, be-
yond which there are countless worlds
bigger than ours. This Memorial day,
consecrated to the memory of these
men, will no doubt be an inspiration
with regard to Rosemont cemetery.
They gave their all-these boys, and
the least that the folks who stayed at
home can do is to take inspiration
from the heroism which they dis
played, and the sacrifices which they
made, and the war which they won
after the far-fung battle-lines Of
England and France and Italy, and
all the rest of the Allies, had failed
to stem the tide. "Thou shalt not
pass" belongs to these United States
of America-and not to any Euro
pean country.
The late lamented Mr.. John A.
Chapman, of Newberry, in his can
mails of Newberry," says, in speaking
of Rosemont cemetery:
"Of quiet, holy Sabbath days it
sometimes gives me calm, though a
melancholy, pleasure to walk and
mediate and rest in the Silent City
adjoining our town; to muse there
upon the brevity of human life. How
soon we are forced to migrate from
this to another country; to better,
we hope. That city is peopled, like
our own noisy one, with inhabitants
of al lagos, from the wee babe, whose
eyes were just opened into this world,
to the old, who have passed Their
three-score and ten
Eternal peace broods over it. Once
when attending a burial service here
l heard, or thought heard do not
believe it was fancy, but reality
in response to the singing at the
grave of the dead child, ethereal
voices far up in the air, making the
sweetest, most angelic music that
ever fell upon my ear save only II
dreams. No, it was no fancy
"No, it was no fancy" said Mr.
Chapman, and he was right. His SOU
was attuned to the symphony-and
the symphony is always above Rose
