Clarence E, Gaillard, of Newry, was in Walhalla .Monday, and during the day was look in? alter the inter ests of ti young lady of his commu nity who is lu every sense of tho word a heroine, and beyond question worthy ol' recognition at Ibo bands of the Carnegie Hero Commission. li will be remembered thal about two we? ks ago Miss Sophia Thomp son, 17 years of tige, rescued Eva Gregory, 18 years of age, from a rabid dog tittil had attacked her, choking the animal and holding it down with her hands and knees until tho Gregory child was freed. Miss Thompson was severely bitten and Injured in carrying out her heroic efforts lo save the victim of the dog's attack. The Newry community is unani mous in praise of the little lady who threw herself into Hie very jaws of the ferocious boast to save the younger girl. She is deserving of the highest praise for her noble act, and nothing could bo more appropriate than recognition al the hands of tho Carnegie Commission, SOUTH ( AHOCINA POLITICS.

NE WHERRY COLLEGE Probably uo college in South Caro lina appeals tn the people of Wat hala.and vicinity so strongly, through sentiment and association, as does Newberry Colloge, which for II num ber of years, owing to the mis fortunes of tho war. was located ill Walhalla.

And at tho same time tho quality of work in tho class-rooms by tho stu dent? was better than ever. Our last commencement was a record-broaker in point of enthusiasm and attend ance. We haye set out to get at least one hundred more students next sos slon than we had last. We want you to help us to get them by sending us at once the names of young men we might solicit for attendance. You could also say a good word for "New berry" yourself to tnose whose names you send.

It ls thc? Invention of Burgess Smith, an Inventor in the bureau of engrav ing and printing? and was operated in the Treasury last Thursday for the first time. More than 1,000 one-dol lar notes were put through within a half hour, and each, at the comple tion of the process, looked Uko new. Tho machine is still in an experi mental stage, and has not formally been adopted hy the department, lt has, however, been set up in the basemen! of the Treasury Dulldlng. near thc money vaults, and will be given a severe testing. Starting to day the machine will he run seven hours each day, during which time it is experted by the mechanics work ing on it that 25,000 of Uncle Sam's cast-off bills will be rejuvenated, and will be turned back into circulation again as clean, bright, stiff and free from germs as when thew were new.

Itcosts $13.30 to make a thousand bank notes. lt eosts but about 50 cents to rejuvenate the samo number, livery day there are more than 35. 000 bills withdrawn from circulation and destroyed. The cost of replac ing them is $465.50, but the cost of washing them and making them as good as new will be hut $15. The machine is llfteen feel, long ?ind live feet wide, anti looks some thing like a newspaper printing press, lt has do/.ens of rolls, many gears anti operates with the same clash and clang. Tho money is placed between two eau vas belts at one end of the machine. It runs through a solution of laundry soap and boiling hot water, whero lt ls thoroughly cleansed. It then enters another vat, in which there ls a solu tion of stiffening material and germ killing solution. From this vat lt ls drawn between a gas-heated mangle, where it is Ironed as stiff as new bills. Cleans 4,000 Dills An Hour. lt emerges from the machine two minutes and llfteen second after it has started on Its 01-foot trip, and is to all Intents and purposes a per fect hill.

SLl?PT WITH II KA I) ON TRACK. Companion}) Several TJrooa Moved ?ody of Sleeping Roy. Macon, Ga., June 29.-The . mys tery that surrounded Gie death of Tom Doolittle, the 14-year-old grand son of Mrs. Bertha Jones, was.clear ed up to-day at the coroner's Inquest. It developed that the lad, In com pany with four other hoys, William Richardson, Oscar Dunn, Willie Bi low and Hecla Freeman, nono of whom Is over 15 years old, had been on a llshlng trip at tho creek near Iteldsvllle. They had started back to Macon when night overtook them and they decided to lay down beside tho railroad track and sleep until morning. The Richardson and Dunn boys lay down on the bank, but tho Doolittle hoy placed his hoad on tho rall and reste?! his body between two cross ties. ^ ills two companions, realizing that he would he in danger if a train came along, polled him away several times, but each Gino thc boy went hack. Finally they left him alone and dropped asleep. They were later awakened hy the noise of a train and saw their com panion several yards from the track with his hoad crushed. They then informed a train crew and hurried homo and went to bed without toll ing their relativos what had hap pened. . They declared they had run away from home and were afraid they would get a whipping if they told. At tho Inquest it developed that the youngsters had been accustomed to drinking whiskey whenever they could get it. The Richardson hoy denied that any of them had been drinking on the night of the acci dent. If you are a housewife you cannot reasonably hope to he heall hy or beautiful by washing dishes, sweep ing and doing housework ?ill day. and crawling into bed dead tired at night. You must get out into the open air and sunlight. If you do this every day and keep your stomach and bow els in good order by taking Chamber lain's Tablets when needed, you should become both healthy and beautiful. For sale by all dealers.
