SUBJECTS FOR PITY,
SYMPATHY AND KINDNESS

Two brothers, Ebenezer and Luclen
Morris, of South Georgia, travelling
through the country in covered wag-
ons, separately, each wagon in charge
of small boy, were IN Newoerry
Wednesday, just going on without
any objective point in view. The men
were pitiable objects, emaciated and
helpless from chronic rheumatism OF
long standing, lasting fourteen years
for one and nine years for the other.
One was lying down and the other
was strapped in sitting position, to
keep him from falling, neither being
able TO stand on his feet. The feet Of
the one sitting on the wagon seat are
in fearful condition, terribly swol-
len and bulging from under the bro
ken skin. 1t was a sight to cause
shudders and call forth charity from
people blessed with health and the
comforts of life.

band and her brother were fighting
with rocks and Blossie, seeing that
the husband was about to kill her bro

COLLEGIANS DOWN
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
Second Team of Indians Defeats
Batesburg-Leesville Nine

The State.
Newoerry, April 10.-The Newber-
ry college second team blanked the
Batesiburg-Leesville high school nine
here this afternoon by the score of
3 to 0. The pitching of Longshore
for the young Indians was the out
standing feature of the game aside
from the excellent fielding of the To-
cal nine. The Newberry hurler sent
Is of the visitors back to the bench
by the strike out route. Asbill and
Fallow pitched we'll for the high
schoo! lads but they were inclined to
be wild, this being largely responsible
for the runs scored against them. The
boys from the Ridge section were
somewhat erratic in the fielding
against the collegians this afternoon,
but they appear to have team which
will De in the running for the state
championship until the end of the
season.

THE NEWBERRY CREAMERY
TO BE ESTABLISHED SOON
Organization to Be Perfected Next
Monday Afternoon. To Be in
Operation Within 60 Days

During the past several months
much talk has been heard in regard
to the establishing of a creamery IN
Newberry. This project was launch
ed by the Newberry chamber of COM
merce some months ago and this or
ganization ras worked faithfully for
the establishment of this enterprise
and they now announce that the
creamery will be established within
the next sixty days, or just as soon
as the equipment can be secured and
set up ready for operation.
The creamery is being established
through the forming of stock COM
pany. Most of the stock as already
been sold, however those who have
not already subscribed will have an
opportunity to do so within the next
few days. Stockholders met in the
Office of the chamber on last Monday
and organized temporarily, however
the organization can not be complet-
ed until all stockholders meet to-
gether. This will be done on next
Monday afternoon at SOC o'clock, at
which time all the stockholders are
requested to meet in the Office of the
chamber of commerce. 1t will be
necessary for every stockholder to be
represented at this meeting in person
or by proxy.
The establishing of the creamery
will be considered by every one the
best move that has been made in
Newberry county for many years, in
view of the fact that through this en-
terprise the farmers Gan market prac-
tically every product of the farm. All
the farmers interested in supplying
cream to the creamery should begin
at once and make preparations, as it
is possible that the creamery will be
in position to handle cream even be-
fore the equipment is set up. Defn-
tie announcement as to where the
creamery will be located will be made
later as it has not been definitely de-
cided just where it will be located.

T. J. w. FAVORS PASSAGE
OF THE BONUS BILL

| notice that the AbbeVllle Press
and Banner has opened up fire on. the
bonus bill in favor of the boys who
offered their lives asa sacrifice and
endured the most cruel war that the
world ever experienced.
Yes, hundreds of thousands of our
dear boys not only gave up their oc-
cupations at the very time when their
services were most needed at home,
but thousands upon thousands of
them were swallowed up in the wa
ters of the sea, and the bones and
ashes of their bodies are still being
dug up out of European soil and sent
back to their poor bro ken hearted pa
rents.
When | think back four or five
years ago when our people of the
United States were filled with such
enthusiasm as was never experienced
before in the history of time. How
men in every nook and corner stood
upon the high places, crying out,
'Loyalty! Patriotismp' and saying,
"Go on my young men and whip the
Germans or they will soon invade our
land. We are going to stand behind
YOU and when you come back home
YOU will be counted the heroes and
salt of America"
Yes, when l saw my boy driving
his .nule to the house from his little
farm on the evening of June te Gath,
1918, looking back with tears in his
eyes on the only thing he had to look
to for a dollar-and when l saw him
pack his grip and shut his room and
start out the next morning with his
heart so full that he could hardly
shake the hands of his old parents; ;
and only five weeks from the very
day he was placed upon the ocean to
go-where? To defend set of peo-
pie who took the bucket off his
well and refused to give him drink
of water, after a long hike through
the mud and rain. The world knows
that the going of these boys was the
turning point in the victories of the
Germans.
Now after all the hardships these
boys endured to defend our national
government, to think that we would
have a man to publicly raise ques-
ton, were the boys going to sacrifice
their lives for patriotism or for mon
ey? If it was money proposition,
what did so many boys who became
blind, lame and insane, get out of it?
| would like to ask the Press and
Banner editor how many boys he had
over in France and Germany? How
many boys have you got for sale?
And don't you think it is pretty
grave charge upon our other SIX rep
resentatives of congress from South
Carolina who voted for the bonus bill
to call them a set of demagogues?
Let us be consistent with one an
other. In the name of God, who
would think of sacrificing their lives

ESKRIDGE is ELECTED
PRESIDENT c. OF c.
Mcdaniel Is Reelected Secretary and
E. A. Carpenter Treasurer.-To
Have Banquet Soon

At an official meeting of the board
of directors of the Newberry chamber
of commerce held on Tuesday after
noon, Mr.. L. G. Eskridge, prominent
business man, was elected president
of the organization. In selecting Mr..
Eskridge to head the organization the
directors feel that they have made
wise selection, in view of the fact
that Mr.. Eskridge is well fitted to
handle the Office in every particular,
good president, and under bis direc-
tion the organization will accomplish
many things for Newberry county
during the coming year.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. James
w. Johnson has served as president
of the organization during the past
several months. Mr.. Johnson made
a good prsident, and under his direc-
tion many things have been accom-
! plished, as well as many other things
planned for the future. Mr.. johnson
remains on the board of directors and
will take as much of an active inter-
est as he did while serving as presi-
dent. At the present time Mr.. John
son is located in Clinton, his firm hav-
ing opened store there, however, it
is believed he will be back in New
berry very soon.
Mcdaniel Reelected
Mr.. c. P. Mcdaniel, who has been
serving as secretary since August of
last year, was elected to succeed HIM
self. Mr.-McDaniel has worked faith
fully during his stay In Newberry,
taking into consideration the fact
that he has had very trying period
in which to accomplish results. Mr..
Mcdaniel states that he will devote
every effort within his power to the
work of the organization during the
coming year, and in return will ex-
pect the undivided cooperation of ev-
cry member of the organization. He
must have the cooperation of the
membership if the organization is
successful. 1t is needless to say that
every member Of the board of direc-
tors will back up the secretary in ev-
cry effort put forth in interest of a
greater Newberry, so it is up to the
members to fall in line.
Carpenter Elected Treasurer
Mr.. E. A. Carpenter, another
prominent business man was elected
to the office of treasurer, succeeding
Mr.. Hal Kohn, who resigned Oh ac-
count of pressure of other business.
Other officers elocre:l at the meet
ing was first vice-pres:dens and

ture, the date % be announced later.
A committe composed of the newly
elected officers were appointed to
make the plans for the banquet and
report at the earliest possible date.
1t is the purpose of this banquet
meeting to bring the members closer
together so that the new year can be
started off with a better understand

accomplish results. Watch for the
