One of the requests of the Southerr otton association is that all farmers ay three cents per bale of the crop f this year to help defray the ex enses of the organization. This re uest has been made several -cimes by ie officers in this county and by the )cal committees. It is -important thai ie money be ra-ised for the organiza on cannot continue its work with ut finances. Three cen'ts per bale is a very small iatter for eachi cotton grower and yet : should raise in this county some iing like $900 to $i,ooo. Last year ie crop in this -county was about 5,ooo bales and t'his year it will prob bly be about 30,000 bales. Up to yesterday Treasurer G. F .ong had received only $40-45 anc bout $17 of this came from the Whit iire association.

Chief State Constable .U. B. Ham mett spent several days in Newberry looking over -the tfield and viewing the situation we presume with a view of ascertaning if the state should send any constables to the city and county to enforce the prohibition law which we have since voting out the dispen sary. The Herald and News called to see Mr Hammett at the hotel on-ce or twice but did not get to see him as he was out. We understand he held sev eral conferences wit1hi the prohibition leaders and the mayor. There had been some reports to his office of violation of The law in some sections of the county-abou:c the -same platces from whimch he -had re ports on previous occasions. That there were no reports of violation from the town and he desired to as certain the wishes of the people be fore sending any constables here. The people with whom 1he talked, as we understand, generally expressed the desire -iat no constables be sent until a further trial had been given the regularly constituted authorities for the enforcement of the law. Death Of Mrs. Ramage. Mrs. Ramage, wife of Mr.' J. W. Ramage, of Macon, Ga., -died at their hom'e in .Macon on Monday morning. Mr. Ramage is a son of -Mr. T. D. R,amage of this county. It was only about a year ago that he was here with his bride on a visit to (his par ents. Besides her husband sihe leaves a babe ablout one week old. The Macon News of Monday af ternoon prints the fol.lowing in re gard to Mrs Ramage: Mrs. James W. Ramage died this morning at 5 o'clock at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Fleming, after an illness of several weeks, 'Ehat was not regarded as se rious until abgut two hours before her death. - ' Mrs. Rainge was formerly Miss Mary Allene Flemihg, and was mar ried last N6vember to Mr. 3. W. Ramage. Abou.t ten days ago, a l-it t-le girl was. 'born to 'the .couple, and the conditi:on of Mrs. Ramage was satisfactory unti-1 tihe last *day or so. Since 'then she ihas been very i'l, and this 'morning about 'half after three o'clock, commenced growing 'worse the at-teack continuing un.til her dea'th a few hours' 'later. The 'many friends of Mrs. Ramage and her family. will be inexpress-ibly shocked at iher sudden and untimely death. She w'ould 'have 'been twenty two years. old on her next birthday, and was in 'che full bloom of young womanhood, witth every prospect for a long and h'appy life. She was a mem ber of the First Presbyterian c'hurch and h-ad long been act.ively interes.ted in 'the church and Sunday school: and has hundreds of friends, ma.de during childhood, girlhood and young wo manhood, in schiool, in church a.nd social life. 'who wvill mourn her death. Mrs. Ramage was possessed of a very sweet and lovable disposition, whic'h endeared her to all who knew 'her. Her recent ~marr'iage, when 'she ap peared a dainty, sweet, girl.ish bri.de, is fresh in dh.e memory of :her friends, and the unexpected anniouncementl of her sudden death will carry sorrow to all these. Mr. Ramage came to Ma con several years ago from South Car o.lina and is with the Willingham Sash and Door company. He 'has the sympathy of all in lh-is bereavement. Besides her husband and little ten days' old daughter Mrs. Ramage leaves 'her parents, 'Mr. and Mrs. W. P.

A USEFUL INVENTION. A Wagon Brake Invented and Patent ed by Mr. Hayne Abrams and Chief Harris. Chief of Polide Harris is not only a clever, wide-awake officer, but fre quently turns his inventive genius to good account. The invention to which we desire to refer now -was suggested by Mr. Hayne Abrams, one of the most successful and prosperous farm ers of the county, and was worked out by him wi.th the assistance of Mr. H.arris. It is an aucomatic brake to hold wagons when going down !hill. It 'has already been patented and the model is on exhibition at Bouknight's shop. The brake can be controlled by the team, put on When going down hill, taken off When the level is reach6. ed. It consists of a brake securely fastened to slide of its front hounds and joined by a connecting iron rod to the rear end of the tongue. It is so arranged as to lessen if not alto gether do away with the danger of the wagon "running away" with the team. Thie tongue can be made rigid or loose as desired. It can be easily attached to the slide of any wagon, is simple and durable, and not in the way of putting on or off the body. Mr. Harris and Mr. Abrams will have some of the brakes made at the blacksmith-shop of Mr. Bouknight where it can be seen and inspected. They hope to 1have a sufficient number placed on wagons -tha7 those inter ested may see for themselves the use fulness of the contrivance. To a lay man, it seems to 'fill a long felt want and is "something better." We wish Mr. Harr.is and 'Mr. Abrams muhi suc cess in their sales. Summer-Haltiwanger. Cards are out announcing the mar riage of Miss Susie Edna Summer to Mr James William Hal.tiwanger at thie Lutheran church of the Redeemer on bhe evening of October 28th at seven o'clock.

Little Advertisement in Herald and News Brings Information and A Watch Is Recovered. One lay last week Miss Sue Ray Pearsall lost her lady's gold watch. She put a small advertisement in The Herald and News. On Wednesday Mr. Alf Rauton came to the office and explained that he had seen the ad vertisement and -tha- 1his nephew young Mr. Sims had seen Richard Higgins with a small watch which he carried in his pocketbook and had told Mr. Sims he was going to give it to his daughter, Willie Higgins. Mr. Rauton came to The Herald and News office to -get a descrption of the watch and after doing so took Policeman Carter out to see the negro, Richard Higgins. Mr. Carter told Hig gins 'he had come for that watch he had found. Higgins promptly said it was at his daughter's some 13 miles in the country. Mr. Carter went up there on yesterday with Higgins and brought the watch and the chain back to Miss Pearsall yesterday afternoon. Higgins lives about three miles in the country near, 'Mr. Rapton's and must have picked the watch up on the street where it was dropped by Miss Pearsall. He seemed perfectly willing 'to re turn it. A Miraculous Escape. Passengers on the northbound mid day train on the Columbia, New berry and Laurens train on the o'th wi-Enessed an incident that was blood curdling. A six-year-old boy was standing on the car seat by an open window when -the rapidly moving train gave a -sudden lurch, hurling the little fellow headlong out of the win dow. But for the quick action of 4his mot!her who was seated just behind him death would have been instanta neous and horrible. The loving arms of a devoted motiier held him strong and fast until in a few seconds Capt. J. S. Land, who was seated near, came to her assistance, and drew the' child into the car.' Capt. Land says that it was done -so qu-ickly but 'he could dis cern the boy's feet slipping .Through the fingers of his mother, and only his prompt and kindly intervention pre vented a 'horrible catastrophie. This should 'be a warn-ing to motVhers not to allow their children to play by open windows in a car. Library Association.
