There were quite a number of cases before the mayor yesterday morning and some eight of them for drunks. A pretty record for prohibition, though those who know say these drunks are from cider and that a quart of cider will make a pretty clever drunk.

There were several bills proposed in the last session changing the times of holding courts. in the several judicial circuits and the one on which is at tached the amendment changing the times in the eighth circuit is as to the second judicial circuit, and as it is a matter which concerns the people of this county, the amendment is pub lished as follows: Section 3.

He also talked on other mat ters. The. following .is from this cor respondent in the daily papers under date of the 16th: Dr. George B. Cromer. of Newberry, spent yesterday in Laurens, on official busines. In a brief discussion of the "'situation '' with yorn.i correspondent, on eave of his departure for home, Dr. Cromer plainly indicated that he is not in politics and has no idea of en tering the campaign this summer as a candidate for United States senator. While he appreciates the many com plimentary press notices as to his poss5ible candidacy he has not given the matter any serious consideration. and at present he is decidedly of the opinion that he will not be in politics at all any time soon.. Turning to the gubernatorial cam pagn, 'the doctor does not subscribe to the convention plan, holding that all aspirants that want to be allowed to go into the race on the platform of heir own choosing. Dr. Cromer is a most interesting alker and during his brief stay .in he city he. was cordially greeted by mmerous friends, both old and new. To Preach at King's Creek.

Th'le Petitionl askin. fr the lod-e contains tweltv names. Eigh teen were initiated on Thursday night and the officers elected and installed. The lodge starts off well and is com posed of good material. The follow ing are the officers: J. H. Johnson, P. C. .. W. Ropp, C. C. W. P. Allen, V. C. J. S. Wertz. P. W. H. Sanders, M. at A. W. Il.

Under any circum stanwes and at all times. But when one has lived the allotted time some I how we knw -the penalty must be paid and it is expected. To be eut down in the full bloom of young man hood or voun4 womanhood when all of life stretches out before you with its hopes and its aspirations it seems doubly sad. Miss Lillian .Jamieson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jamieson, of Newberry, had gone just a month ago to visit friends in Charlotte, N. (C. Just ten days ago news came that she Iwas sick. Her mother hastened to Iher bedside and a few days later her father went. She received the best medical treat ment and all that loving and tender had ould 'do. but at 11:15 o'clock on Saturday morning her gentle spirit passed out into the great beyond. She was a good sweet girl, lovable in disposition and loved by everybody who knew her. The great sympathetic heart of this communty goes out in tenderness and sympathy to the bereaved and fond parents in this hour of their grief. Human sympathy can be of little avail in a time like this and yet there is some consolationi in the realization that the sorrow which causes your heart to .bleed has touched the heart oft a friend who sympathizes with you. Miss Lillian was but twenty years old and the picture of health and happiness when she went on this visit. When taken sick she was removed, to the hospital where she died as sta ted, above. The body was brought to Newberry arriving on the morning train Sunday. Many and beautiful have been the floral tributes from lov ing friends. FUNERAL NOTICE. The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs W. A Jamieson are invited to attend the funeral services of their daughter, Lillian, this Tues day after con at t o'clocK at Rose mont Cemetery Funeral procession to 1 ave residence at 3. :0 o'clock. "Isle of Spice." In this holiday time, when the mince pie spreads fragrant odors in he land, "The Isle of Spice" surely s a seasonable show. This comic op ra, or musical comedy, made Man attan laugh for many weeks. The eplanation is simple; though the iece has no striking story to tell, it as much music calculated to tickle ars; the comedians have a lot of fun f their own, and the stage manager as evolved decidedly novel effects. [he last mentioned point of attract on is the strongest in the work of the oung women of the e.horus in three ongs, "Peggy Brady'' sung~ by Miss eslie Leigh, "The Broomstick ithes'' sung by Miss Lillian (or an and "The Gboo Gboo Man" sung y Sam Mylie.

The Columbia and Greenville Road To Give Morning Train From Greenville and Afternoon From Columbia. The schedule which has been sopken of on the Columbia and Greenville road will very probably be made at an early date. A meeting was held efore the rai)lroad commissioners in Columbia on last Friday at which were present: Mr. H. A. Williams, Col. R. W. Hunt and Mr. Brooks Morgan, of the Southern railway. Newberry sent a delegation down consisting of A T Brown, Z F. Wright. J. D. Davenport, Nat Gist, E. H. Aull. The railway authorities prac' tically agreed to change the midday trains which arrive here from Colum bia and Greenville, to a morning train frem Greenville, and afternoon train from Columbia. The train from Greenville will pass Newberry about 10 o 'clock, arriving in Columbia at noon, and the afternoon train will leave Columbia at 4:30 o'clock arriv ing here about 6 o 'clock. This change -f schedule will enable the people up he~ road as far as Ninety Six and een farther to do their trading in ewberry and return to their homes the same day.
