MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE

1t is difficult to place a dollars
and cents estimate on the loss
sustained by this community be-
cause of Monday nights frost,
At best it was great but at that,
the frost visitation was not SO
bad as the Mississippi floods, the
tornadoes of the South or the
droughts of the Middle West.
The fruit crop is by no means a
total loss and we still have our
hay fields, our wheat fields, our
milk cows, our chickens, and our
vegetable crops to fall back on.
Best of all our homes are intact,
the faith of our people strong
and their spirit splendid.
The loss appears the larger for
never before were prospects
brighter. In every part of the
district the fields and orchards
practically without exception,
were in the pink of condition, ev-
cry tree and vine was full set and
vigorous and a record-breaking
harvest seemed assured.
Thus it is, the loss is magni-
fled in our eyes by reason of the
greater promise. The editor re-
calls times when the cherries, the
apricots, and the peaches were
killed while yet in bud and the
killing was generally accepted as
one of those inevitable tolls
which this section must pay for
it's earliness. The loss of an ap-
ricot the size of the thumb is no
greater than the loss of an april
cot in the bud-it just seems
greater, that's all.
There was a time when peach
es were the community's big
crop. The editor recalls years
when the harvest was bountiful
and the grower received Is cents
box from which to pay the ex-
penses of growing, thinning,
spraying, picking, packing, wrap
ping, boxing, and hauling. And
those years when the community
didn't have as much to fall back
upon as now. A killing frost
isn't as disastrous as a democrat
lied market. The community
has weathered demoralized mar
kets and all but forgotten about
the experience. In other words,
Mondays freeze might have been
worse and the country in times
past has faced darker outlooks
than it faces today.
The present situation calls for
a little more careful conserva-
ton of our reserves and a little
extra care of what's left and a
little cooperation all around.
The man who by reason of a
freak of the weather has had
his crop practically wiped out
while his neighbor has escaped,
should not be left to fight his
battles alone. His problem
should be the community's pro-
blem and the community's re-
serves should be called to his as
sistance.
AS soon as possible careful
and complete survey should be
made of crop conditions and the
growers ability to finance them
selves until another harvest. If
these financial demands are
greater than the local banks can
meet an effort should be made to
obtain relief from the War FL
nance corporation or other sourc-
es. The present situation In
vites the earnest attention of
the Commercial club.

BEN HOPE EXPRESSES THANKS S
AND MAKES APPEAL

Editor of The Herald and News:
Orders for my new forthcoming
book, mentioned in this paper some
time ago, are coming in, but slowly.
Nv. offer of 5 copies for 81 seems
quite popular. But if the book is to
be published soon, as soon as some OF
nv helpers desire, must receive
more advance orders, and hat right
away. Printing is expensive, as
you all know. l can promise my
friends, however, a very nice BOOK
at a minimum cost of publication.
Hence my offer, in advance of publ
cation, or 1 copy for 25 cents or 5
copies, 81.
Therefore, send me your orders

DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF

do not want any subscriber to
fool himself into the belief that
am going to continue the special sale
of The Herald and News at one dol
lar after the 31st of July. Or that
/ am going to let names remain on
the list whether the subscription is
paid or not as l have done in the
past.
put on this special sale to give
those who had gotten in arrears op-
portunity to catch up, and in doing
so I made the same offer to every
subscriber on the list regardless of
the date to which he has paid. One
dollar will buy The Herald and News
for one year at any time up to and
including July 81. After that date
the price will be two dollars and all
who have not paid will be taken from
the list. You know that / shall re-
gret to take off any name, but l can
not run the paper on credlt, because
/ have to pay cash for all get done
and then it is more satisfactory to
all parties, publisher and subscriber,
to be on cash basis. We have TAX
en- on good many new names dur
ing the sale, but a great many who
are in arrears have not paid. l hope
that all who desire the paper to come
on will take advantage of this offer
and get in good standing. There are
not many days left, and am giving
you this personal warning to take
advantage of this cheap sale while it
is now on.

Send any amount you may be able
to send. Ny need is urgent, my ap'
peal sincere; else l would not solicit
help in this manner so often.
The object | have in writing and
putting this book on the market is
to improve my condition financially
and otherwise. l hope also to one
day be enabled to buy home, in
which to study and write, with the
proceeds from my writings.
And won't you help me 10 this?
Therefore put in your order for my

GRAND OLD PARTY
TO INVADE SOUTH
Challenge to Democrats to Enroll
and to Register to Meet
Opposition
Hugh w. Roberts in The State.

Hugh w. Roberts in The State.
Washington, July 20.-From au-
thentic information reaching Wash
ington, it is quite evident that the
Republicans are preparing for field
day throughout the South in the No
vember elections.
The unusual activity to that end
results from the work of special
committee, of which Congressman
Bascom Slemp of Virginia is chair
man. The committee was instructed
to visit all of the chairmen and other
leading Republicans throughout the
South and tell them plainly that
their representation in the national
conventions hereafter would not be
allowed to continue as it has been
heretofore. There has been too ma
ny delegates and not enough votes IN
the Southern states. Hereafter,
there must be at least $500 votes
cast in each congressional district
to permit that district to have one
representative in the national con-
vention in addition to the four dele
gates from the state at large. Twen-
ty-fve hundred will be the minimum.
Consequently, the word has been

FARM BOYS CAMP, SOUTH
CAROLINA STATE FAIR

One of the unique educational
features of the 1922 South Carolina
State fair will be the establishment
of camp on the fair grounds where
in the boys of the state may spend
an entire week enjoying the educa-
tional and amusement features of the
Greater State fair. 1t will be tent
ed city, complete in every detail, and
will provide all the joys and thrills
Of camp life amidst most pleasant
surroundings. That the parents Of
the boys may be assured that their
youths will be under the guidance
of men interested in their welfare,
the camp will be under the personal
supervision of Mr.. L. L. Baker, sup.
ervasing agent Boys Club work, and
his assistant, Mr.. B. o. Williams
Both of these gentlemen arc intense
ly interested in boys work and it was
at their suggestion that the Farm
Boys camp was made feature of
the state fair.
Every club by working urGer the
supervision of these gentlemen is el-
igible to membership IN the camp.
All Expensss Paid
The state fair arrangements will
pay the expense Of every boy from
the time he leaves home until he re.
Gurns. This will include railroad
fare, living in the camp, admission tc
all attractions and amusements or
the fair grounds, and trips to points
of interest in the city of Columbia
This outing will enable the boys tc
spend an entire week studying the
educational exhibits at the state far
as well as enjoy it's horse races, pro
fessional auto races, circus, fire
works, tented shows, and other ster
ling amusement features. 1t is be-
yond doubt the finest outing cvel
planned for the boys of he state
as every days program will be
crowded with pleasure. This won
derful camp is open to every clut
member in the state without one cent
of expense. The camp members viii
/ be envied by every boy not awaiting
himself of the opportunity to become
one of the joyful campers.

passed to the faithful" to register
now, so as to be prepared to make
the necessary showing at the polls
in November and reports received
in Washington indicate that South
ern Republican registration will pro-
ceed at a rate heretofore unheard Of.
Mr.. Slemp himself, a super active
Southern Republican, has declined to
stand for reelection to the house of
representatives. The reason he as
signs is that he has been here long
enough and wants to rest, but those
who understand the situation and
realize his devotion to the Republi-
can party are strongly Of the opin-
ion that he seeks to be relieved of
his routine duties so that he may
devote more time to Republican
propaganda and organization work
throughout the South.
This situation, Democratic lead
ers pointed out here today, puts the
issue squarely up to Democratic
voters, men and women alike, to
enroll for their primary elections
and to secure the proper registra-
tion certificates for the general cleo
ton in order to meet the increased
Rpublican registration which is said
now to be going on at an exceeding
ly high rate.

REJECT FORD OFFER
ADVICE OF NORRIS
Chairman Norris of Senate Says His
Own Plan is "Most Wonderful
for Development of Power

Washington, July 20.-Rejection
of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle
Shoals and enactment of legislation
for development of the war built
projects in Alabama by govern
ment owned and government con-
trolled corporation was recommend
ed to the senate today by Chairman
Norris of the senate agricultural
committee.
The agriculture committee cnair-
mans views were set forth in a VOL
luminous report, differing portions of
which were supported by various
members of the committee. Senators
Page of Vermont, McNary of Ore
gon, Keys of New Hampshire, Good
ing of Idaho, Nordeck of South Da-
kota, Harreld of Oklahoma and Nc
Kinley of Illinois (Republicans) and
Kendrick (Democrat) of Wyoming,
the report stated, favored rejection
of the Ford offer along with Chair
man Norris, Senators McNary, Nor
deck, Mckinley and Gooding, it was
added, concurred with the chairman
in the recommendation for govern
ment development along the lines de-
tailed in the pending Norris bill.
Others, the report said, subscribed
to the recommendation that the Ford
offer be rejected. Senator Kendrick
declared in the senate after submis-
sion of the report, however, that he
"would be glad to vote to approve
the offer of Henry Ford, provided a
modification is made of the time
limit of the lease" The Ford offer
provides for 100 year lease and
Senator Kendrick explained that he
favored the so year maximum pro-
vided for such leases in the federal
water power act.
The report criticised the Ford Of
fer sharply describing it as "the
most wonderful real estate specula-
ton since, Adam and Eve lost title
to the Garden of Eden,' and inquir-
ing "why a warranty deed to the
capitol at Washington is not includ-
ed in this great transfer of govern
ment property to this wonderful
corporation" +
The plan embodied in the Norris
bill was as highly praised as the
Ford offer was criticised. 1t was de-
scribed as "the most wonderful plan
for development of power on the
Tennessee river and it's distribution
over the Southern states that has
ever been proposed in the history Of
our country" Its features were out
lined in detail and the prediction
made that if adopted "it means the
transformation to a great extent of
large portions of the United States" :"
The report submitted today will be
followed by another from the COM
mittee next week, presented by SEN
ator Ladd (Republican) of North
Dakota and supported by those fav-
oring unconditional acceptance of
the Ford offer.

DOLLAR DAYS AT GREENWOOD

Greenwood merchants are putting
another dollar day sale, or rather we
should say dollar days, and they are
going to offer unheard of bargains on
Friday and Saturday of this week.

and sell the goods. A list of some
of the merchants in this great sale is
given in an advertisement of these
two days in this issue of the paper.

Why would it not pay the mer-
chants of Newberry to unite in the
putting on of couple days to be
known as dollar days. 1t would be
much better if all of them would
unite in such movement than for
one or even two or three to agree
on such a sale. It would attract
more people and then all of them
uniting they could afford to offer
some attractions to bring the people
to town and once the people came
of course they would buy if the bar
gains were offered them.

IN MEMORY

Of our aged grandfather, George
Adma Slice, who departed this life
July 18th, 1922.
AS peaceful as he lived, our grand
father left us one night. In thai
calm and perfect sleep of death, he
left US without goodbye, to pass to his
Heavenly Father on high.
In the house we can but see
A lonely place where he used to be,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Dear grandfather, how we miss you
No human tongue can tell, o.
We can only see your face in memory
That we loved so well.
In memory we can see your eyes
That once were bright and shine,
And loving voice that once Was
heard
Is missed in our home.
Grandfather has gone to meet his
loved ones
That have gone before,
In that eternal home in Heaven
Where parting shall be no more.
And each evening when the sun has
set,
And the stars light up the sky,
We think of you, dear grandfather,
For we are coming to meet you in the
sweet by and by.

GWinn Has High Time
 With a Bear

STEWART CITY, Y.T.-William Gwinn, wood chopper at Harlan slough, near Stewart, had an ex- perience with bear a few days ago. Gwinn was cutting wood for Roden & Lindstrom, and had cabin in the woods on hillside two and one-half miles south of the main camp. Re- turning from work one day he found a husky two-year-old black bear in the cabin. The dogs were ahead and frightened the bear out of the place before Gwinn arrived Entering the cabin, Gwinn found things topsy .urvy. and a ham and a slab of bacon missing. Bruin had enjoyed frolic in the place. He had turned over many things and torn the towels and dish rags into ribbons and had carried off the smoked meats, and there is no telling what he might have done had Gwinn not re- turned just when he did. Two days
 ater Gwinn met the young outlaw and finished him with rifle, and the big blak pelt is now nailed to Bills door as a solemn warning to others of the ilk.
