There was public meeting of the
Red Men Monday night and number
of fine addresses of welcome were
made and response by Great Sachem
Pope adm the great Pocahontas and
Cole L. Blease who has not missed
meeting of the Red Men in twenty
one years, and then a short address
by the representative of the Great
Icohonee Hon. j. w. Cherry Of Vlr-
ginia. The meeting was we'll attend
ed and all the speechs were good. The
regular convention was held Tuesday
morning and concluded Wednesday
morning. All the business was COM
pleted Tuesday afternoon and the
only thing left was the installation
of the officers. So we left for home
Tuesday afternoon at Z o'clock. And
reached Newberry at II o'clock at
night.
In the afternoon of Tuesday the
visitors were given drive over the
city, but 1 did not go, intending to
90 around and take a view of the new
high school building, but the wind
was so terrible l did not get out OF
the hotel. saw this building as we
drove in and while it does not pre-
tend to be snowy on the outside 1t

terror is all that a modern school
should be, and it is named the Frank
Evans High school in honor Of DR..
Frank Evans who has been superin-
tendent of schools in Spartanburg for
twenty-three years, going there from
Newberry. The schools have grown
wonderfully under his wise leader
ship and progressive management.
Mr.. Klettner and I called to see Mr..
Jos. Mann Monday afternoon. He
and Mrs. Mann are now staying
with their daughter. Mrs. Harry
Price. Mr.. Price has large and sue
cessful clothing and gents furnishing
business, and this reminds me to say
that all the stores in Spartanburg
seemed to me to carry very large
stocks of goods I. And there are some
very handsome stores in this city. l
went to attend the meeting Of the
great council, and as it was in ses-
sion all day except the hour for the
drive, did not see much outside. AS
we left Spartanburg we drove around
to the home of Mr.. Price so that Mr..
Klettner could speak to Mrs. Mann
who has been sick for quite while.
We spent a few minutes with Mr..
Price very pleasantly, and Mr.. Mann
is the same joVial Mann that he was
in Newberry, ready to pull off joke.
He wants his friends in New'oerry to
know that he is getting along fine and
that he will be over to see them he
fore so very long. There is no place
like Newberry to the person who has
lived there as long as Mr.. Mann and
then it is the best place to live any
way.

DRY ruling
. GREAT BLOW
TO SHIPPING
Lasker Says Daugherty is
Worlds Greatest Law
Giver for Moses Only
Made Red Sea Dry.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Across a ban
quet board, A. d. Lasker, chair
man of the United States shipping
board, told Attorney General
Daugherty and other banqueters
that the attorney generals recent
ruling that all ships entering
American waters must be dry
was the greatest blow that could
have happened to the American
merchant marine.
Il can prove" said Mr.. Lasker,
who spoke before the Audit Bu-
reau Of Circulations and it's guests,
that Mr., Daugherty is the great
est law maker of all time. Moses
only made the Red sea dry"
Mr.. Lasker said that while he
personally was anti-saloon, he
spoke neither as wet nor as a
dry but from the standpoint OF
the shipping board.
To Conform to Expediency.
Il have seen in the press" said
Mr.. Lasker, Statements that he
made his decision to conform to
political expediency to aid the
merchant marine bill. never
knew what the decision was until
the president announced it.
"As to the attorney who is such
a good politician, if he felt he was
helping American ships, he did il
without advising with me. ! want
foreign ships to come in, as il
their right, wet. Forty per cent
of the passengers are foreigners
and will not subscribe to oul
views.
when we are in internationa
business we only deceive our
selves to think that America rule
the world" he continued.
EmigTants Profitable.
The principal profit of ships
coming to America shores is the
emigrant traffic, he said. The
emigrant regards wine and beer
as much as food as they do bread
and water, he asserted. Liquor
bearing ships can obtain this traf-
fic and upon approaching Ameri-
ican waters can throw overheard
such liquor as may be left, al
though he said they could figure
to barrel just how much liquor
would be required by their pas
sengers.
