E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New. erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, April 24, 1906. Under the constitution of the party and in accordance with the resolu tions adopted at our last county con vention two years ago, each demo. eratic club in the county is entitled to one representative for every 25 members or majority thereof. In other wor.ls. a club with as many as 38 members and less than 54). is en titled to two dlebtates to the eouinty convention. Heretofore we have been sendint one dele-zate for every ten members. Every club with less than 25 members, however, will be entitled to one delegate. It will be well for the clubs to bear this action of the party in mind when they come to elect their representatives. THAT UNION DEPOT. The editor of The Herald and News has received the f,llowin- let ter from J. I. Wharton, chairman railroad commission under date of April 20: 'The board after personal con enee with President Childs was as sured by him that work on the new depot at Newberry would be com menced this week.' This we presume is merely a joke. The "this week" of the letter above is gone and another week is starting its journev and is well inder way and there is Yet nothin doing. Really there should not be very much done at the present location. But as proposed will make it a little more oonvenient and then if one a,,ent is put in charge of the sale of tickets and a phone is pit in his office a great deal would be accumplished and it would be an improvement on what we have at present and we hope the C. N. & 1,. will hurry ip the ile Wo)rk to be h one so that we mav start the n-itation f-or a tutiln depot such as Newherry (-u-ht to. havu' at the Caldwell strvet erossin-.

His work, unlike the wot of the critic, can never pass away. E loses himself, subordinates his pe sonal prelilections and aims to ti meaning of his author. and his rewar is perpetuity for his work and oblii ion. it may be, for himself. le helf readers to their destination. and lik the engine driver of a train, is forgo ten as soon as they have arrived I safety.

The Herald and News made:me fion last week of the promotion whi Mr. J. Epps Brown had received frc the Southern Boll Telephone conmpa1 in being made general manager. V also copied an article from the A lanta Journal. We give below wih the Atlanta News says of Mr~. N~Iow~ We are glad to note the success whli has attended Mr. -Brown and ta pleasure in printing the pleasa things said of him. Mr. 3. Eppa Brown Pitted For Wor J. Eppa Brown, the newly elect general manager, is 38 years of a andl is a native of Newberry, S. Hie has made his home in Atlanta f we ;a number of years anJ is well n tis. and popular in both business a he social worlds. His friends art Ty gratulating him upon his imi4 promotion. >te Although Mr. Brown has bqet ve the telephone business only eig . years he has acquired a deep grasp -. all the essential details and has itk de oughly fitted himself for the imi#O ro ant work for which he has, been a d. lected. During the past few years I 0.. has handled a considerab!e portic th of th-, work in the office of vice pre ce ident and general manager and hi at been in the full confidence of Colon Dr Gentry and other officials of the con er pany. He is a tireless worker anI man of unusual executive ability ap keen insight. His promotion colnes i a deserved tribute to his ability and a recognition of his fitness for ti OV office. His close association with Co W onel Gentry gave him the advantag of being in constant touch with all th details of the telephone business. H received his training under Colon Gentry, whose store of knowledge o e telephone matters is unlimited, and h was not slow to accept the unusual op d portunities that were in this way pre sented to him. Mr. Brown entered the telephon e business in May, 1899, as manager d e the Bell telephone exchange at Ameri ~enus, Ga. He attracted the attention'c nColonel Gentry and was brought t Atlanta as chief clerk in his offie e When Colonel Gentry was electe t general manager he retained Mi e Brown as chief clerk. Later, the wor e of the office increasing Mr. Brown wa h appointed special agent and was soo h made special agent to the genera e manager. When Col.>nel Gentry wdi absent from the country for a nutibe of months in 1904, Mr. Brown's abili ty was recognized by his appointmen as acting general manager. Mi Brown's future is particularly brigh and the honors he has won come t him as the result of hard work an ability. e In many parts of the Alps girl I wear trousers when coasting Confirmed bachelors, Joseph Ed a ward Sox and Stonewall Jabkson DoS y well pre minnt Vir.-rinians. met ene e other in a Richmond jeweler's buyin wedding rings. e Henry James says lie is "a fris a tratcd American.''

We often hear, ''Does it pay to ac >n vertise?'' I will give you an instanu og. as to whether it pays to advertisei ,e. not-two of them. When I opene my little place of business on Jaecl son Boulevard seven years ago I . first day of November, I had a cap tal of $2,600. Catering to board< n- trade men, who appreciate nice thing uh I put $1,400 in fIxtures; I had to hias m it nice for them. At the end of ti iy year,' not being managed by what le supposed to be a competent manag4 t-we took stock and I found that if tI at stock anud fixtures -ould sell for or n. hundred cents on the dollar I woul hhave just enough to pay my deb)p ke I hed lost the $2,600, and the bil nt were due and past due, and I coul not pay them. I said to myself, ''TI ~.sheriff will be here in A few days; dso I' thought I would get ahead of huir e I elosed tle store for one day, and C. put a sign in the windows: ''Close< ar but not by the aheriff,"tIae "eh. in n.

On the window-. the side windows, and the door win- th dows, I put a sign reading. " There I are moments when a man wishes to be alone. That is today. Tomorrow b< this store will open at nine." We op- co ened lit nine to crowded houses. We iha a front door and a back door; we let them in in sections. Didn't fleece them. gave them value for their money, and let them out the back -.A -l1r. I (lid not have a single creditor i a1 eoml1t down to the place and stanI at be tv dlesk waitin. to get the money as of fast as it came in; they seemed to th have confidence.

So I towk a column in a cer tain evenini paper-I wn't mentiol the name. I took that paper because they did not eliarve mieh.
