This is the "sunny south." The cold man and the plumber to gether are almost a match for the ice - man. "Jack Frost" has been getting in some very beautiful and artistic work on the Main street plate glass for the past two days. His delicate tracery is wonderful. The Prosperity dispensary continu es to hand out large quantities of booze. Of course, a little of it may be bought by the Prospcrity people. Senator B. R. T!!ran has come to "South Carolina to escape tie cold at Washington. If the temperature at Trenton anything like that at New a bdriy;, th nior senator will do.well tf continuhis migration south. l stated that the fines imposed in4 gallected at the mayor's court since 'the first day of January have amotunted to about $180.oo. There must have been a great tmany offen ders, for most of the fines have been light. - Newberrians were charmed and de - lighted wvith Paderewski. One said, by way of praise and critcim, that the pianist would bring his hand down once and that the volumes of sound would continue for five minut es afterwards. There's nothing like trute appreciation of a great artst. It is rumored that one of the rural free delivery carriers started from Newberry yesterday morning on foot, with the intention of walking his en tire route. The riding would be ter ribly cold, but it 16oks like a choice of two evils, and "Hobson's choice" at that. *The sales at the A. C. Jones estab - lishment contiinue.

BURGLARY AT MOLLOHON Bold Thief Enters Wilson's Store, And Carefully Fits Himself With Clothing. On Tuesday night Wilson's store, at the Mollohon, was broken into and several articles of merchandise were stolen, by a thief who made good his escape. The robbery was a bold one, and the perpetrator of the deed show ed considerable skill and nerve in his mode of operation. The putty from the edges of one of the panes o.f window glass was carefully removed, and the glass was displaced without breakage. Through the hole thus made, measuring only io by 14 inches, the burglar climbed. He was an exceedingly particular person, for he lighted the lamp,, placed it behind the counter, and tried on many pairs of shoes before he seleced a pair of sixes. To his wadrobe he also added a shirt and a pair of overalls. The cases in which the pocket-knives were displayed were disarranged and several knives pilfer ed, exactly how many it was not pos sibe to determine. From certain obvious clues it is be ieved that the thief will be located shortly. W. H. HUNT OF NEWBERRY. A Splendid Gentleman Who is Very Popular in Anderson. Anderson Mail. Hon. W. H. Hunt, of Newberry, speht several hours in Anderson yes terday. Mr. Hunt presided over a term of court here several years ago as spec ial judge and captivated the people of the city. The lawyer admired him for Hs ability and knowledge of the law, and the people generally ad mired 'him for geniality and courtly manner. He is always warmly wel comed when he comes to Anderson. And Mr. Hunt admires Anderson. While he was here yesterday he kept talking about the many improvements that had been made since his last vis it. "This is undoubtedly a fitie town," he said as he turned the leaves of the pamphlet issued a few weeks ago by the chamber of commerce. A Needed Enterprise. Mr. Rowland G. Spearman has es tablished an office much needed for some time in Newberry, an agency that will buy rent or sell land, that will negotiate loans *on real estate Through this agency one may rent or purchase a house or cottage in any portion of the town, or a store on man street, without being subjected to the wvorry of having to hunt all over the town for a place satisfactory. Tt is a good scheme and deserves suc cess. Poultry Notes. .RoosZs for the rpeultry 'hous: U .. o-id be paej > :a - -s:e so t!-ma there can be no preferr'ed positions.

Which, however, may only indicate that the men are not doing their own work well enough.--Chicago Tribune. A Compromise.

Prosperty, Jan. 26.-There will be services at Bachman Chapel on Sun day morning at ii o'clock. There will be services in Prosper ity A. R. P. church on Sunday even ing at 4 o'clock. This being the fifth Sunday. There are four things that we are very desirous to see in our town in the near future. First. The new school building for which bonds have been voted. Second. A building and Loan as sociation for the up building of the town. Third. A circulating library, so that we who want to read the latest stand ard books can do so at a minimum cost. 4. A literary society in which both ladies and gentlemen can take part. What is to hinder. In a drunken gambling quarrel cv,r 25 cents Geo. Smith killed Will Bouskett n Saluda county one night last week. - This kind. of thing is get ting quite common. Messrs. R. H. Russell and Milliken of Hamlet, N. C.. were in town over Sunday. They returned on the p. m. train. In our notes last week we said or the "masheen" made us say that the town primary would be held on Feb. 7th, it should have been March 7th. Look. I am going to put the execu tive committee onto the man tunning that "mershene" next time to sore my scalp. Mr. A. G. Wise has returned from a trip to the west. Mr. J. D. Quattlebaum made a trip to Atlanta returning Wednesday. Rev. J. A. Sligh was in town for a short time Saturday. Rev. J. L. Buck of Saluda county was in town on Tuesday. One of the questions agitating the minds of our farmers is how much less cotton shall I plant this year than last and how much less fertilizers shall I buy. One farmer told me he would plant 4o acres less. This is a question in which we are all inter ested. Shall it be c,ut down one fourth 0one third are ape half. This is what the cultivator says "Cut down our next crop o.e half. This will settle the question at once and in the best manner. Only let us exhibit the same zeal and energy in cutting our area in cotton whch~ we have always display ed in trying to increase the yields and cotton will go to ten cents within three months. Let every individuali farmer begin to cast about pruden tly for other lines of profitable agri cultural products." There are many undeveloped lines that can be made to pay a good return on the invest ment. In talking with an ac tive and progressive young far mer last Saturday he told me he sold $38.o worth of millet seed last year and had a quanity for sale again this year. He was sellng them at $16.oo per ton and peavine hay at $20.00 perI ton. 8o cents and $1.oo per hundred. We saw on his book quite a number of orders and he had plenty more. This young man had also made 86 bales of cotton and had sold 50 a good figure. He was not making cotton his only chrop but was work ing more in proportion out of his grasses and peavines than out of his cotton. This is what one has done. Are there not others who are doing equally as well? The happly marriage bells are still ringing in many directions. The last notice to be rung out was from Mt. Tbor and gave out the marrage at the brides parents Mr. and Mrs. Jno. A. Sheely, Sr., of Miss Carriee A. Sheely to Mr. Willie E. Koon ot Chapin. May their married life be a long and happy one. There have been no developments in ur gold mine except that one of the best chemist (nowv reiired) was here and took a look over the field but having no one to show him where thefind was made he could not tell what the outlook was. He said if it was here a all it would be in pockets and would be very rich. Mrs. Jacob S. Wheeler went down to olumbia Tuesday to hear Pader Auditor W. W.
