There was a good rain in Newber ry yesterday but we are told it did niot reach far from the city in any direction. The very dry and hot weather for the past ten days or two weeks has very greatly injured the cotton erop in this section. Conservative farmers estimate that it has damaged the eranr from 20 to 25 per cent. ENUM RATION INXABITANTS. City Council Having Police Census Taken-Proper Thing to Do Probably 8,000 People. The city council has decided to have a police census taken of the in habitants of the city. The Herald and News from time to time for the past year or more has urged upon the city council the importance of having this enumeration made. Of couise without an official enumeration any statement made of the population was an ap proximation. The fact is, we have felt that the census of 1900 did not do the city justice, but granting that it did, there has been remarkable growth during the past seven years, and in order that we might know just how many people there are in New berry it is a good investment to have the enumeration made, and by having it done by the police, it cau be more accurately taken than by any other citizen and can be made at a minimum of cost. The city has appointed Policeman H. H. Franklin to make the enumera tion. Mr. Franklin has been on the force continuously for a great many years, and is entirely familiar with every section, and is, therefore, eminently fitted for this work. We have contended that there were 8,000 people in the city of Newberry, and we are sa-tisfied that unen the enumeration is completed it will be found that our estimate was not too large. Mr. Franklin began work on Monday morning and has completed the enumeration of the citizens in Ward one. He is taking the name of 'the head of each family and the num ber of persons connected with that .family and living in the same -house, and is maKing a spearate list of whites and blacks. In Ward one there are 1179 persons. Of these 592 aze white and 587 are colored. This is proba bly the smallest ward in numerical strength in the city, but granting that the others are no larger and basing the estimate on the number of persons in Ward one would give us about 7000 persons. If we admit that the U. S. census which was- tak en in 1900 wac correct it will be seen that -the increase in population dur ing the seven years has about doub led. Missionary Address. Mrs. M. 0. J. Kreps, one of the leading workers in the mission field, has kindly consented to deliver an address on mission work at Colony church on Sunday next. Mrs. Kreps' address will take the place of the ser mon at 11 o'clock. We trust that there will be a large attendance pres ent to hear Mrs. Kreps. T. J. W. Newberry HoteL. The work of repairing the New berry Hotel has been about complet ed. In fact, everything has been corn pleted except the putting in of the plate glass front and the laying of the tile floor in front. Mr. C. C. Davis, the contractor, has already be gun tearing out- the old brick wall preparatory to putting in plate glass front. When completed, this will be one of the handsomest and best ar ranged hotel buildings in this part of the state. New Depot at Dyson. Mr. W. E. Simpson, superintendent of the Greend4lle division of the Southern railway has decided upox the erection of the new depot at Dy sons and hopes to have the building ready for us in the near future. This is a very important station on the Southern railway, and while there is no town a large section of very fer tile country is tributary to this point, and they need and deserve better fa cilities for passenger and freight business, and we commend Mr. Simp son for showing the consideration to these patrons of his road, which he has done by arranging to erect this depot. Shelley and Summer. Shelley and Summer, the large furniture dealers of Newberry, have recently moved into their new and handsome brick building in Pratt street and are nowy better prepared to display their large assortment of furniture to advantage than they have ever been before. In addition to their two floor spaces they have built their first story very tall and have on either side a veranda .which gives them a great deal more space and an opportunity to display their goods to better advantage. BUY YOUR !CIGAES, TOBACCO and cigarettes from Broaddus and THE CITY ELECTION. Books of Registration Now Open Citizens' Meeting to Fix Time for Primary. The books of registration for the city ele0tion which is to be held on the second Tuesday, the 10th day, of December, are now open. It should be remembered by those who desire to participate in this election that it is necessary to be registered, and reg istration has to be annually. It is presumed that the executive commit tee of the city demoreacv will hold a meeting sometime soon, so as to de termine upon the plan of nomitiation of candidatest Of course,it is .taken for granted, that the same plan for nominations as adopted heret6fore! by primary will be carried out. The real election will be in the"pri rary, as there is 'no probability of any other than a. democratic ticket being put up. The reasoi for.the pri mary. is, by this mode it requires a majority of,theelectors to nominate, and in the general. election which on ly requires jlurality vote it. would be possible for. a minority of the eit izens to eleet a.md or and aldermen. Last year the ciizens' meeting was not held until aboit. the. first of No rember. It is usual.'however. for the 'andidates, to announce... Their candi iacy before thi. time, and no doubt it will not be. long . before those who intend .to aspire. for municipal posi tions will be advising the citizens- of that fact. It requires ~a registration certifi eate to vote in the primary in the city leetion, and, therefore, it is import ant that every citizen should secure his registration ceitificate. The books Df registration will remain opena n til the first of December, so that it will be no trouble for )those desiring to vote to securo their registration eertificate. There have .been'some rumo'rss to probable candidates for mayoi ',but up to this time.. .no announcen'nts have been made in he papers. t is understood that vor Brown .Xvill aot be a candidate to succeed hirpelf.

With three exceptions, every overseer >n route No. 1 has put their sections in good condition, and .I think the three exceptions will come to time yet. The road working campaign has proven that the road scrape and King drag are important factors in the working of our roads in the future.

Watts' Racket Store has been mov ed into the store room under the Newberry Hotel, >r4ently occupied by Mr. S. B. Jones.

Mr. and Mrs. Watts have not yet completed the opening of their stock of goods, but as soon as they get th%m properly arranged, they will have a very attractive store, and will be pleased to have their friends and customers call.

Four of the pall bearers were attend ants at the wedding of the deceased and her husband at the time of their marriage in June, 1906.

Messrs Daniels and Williamson, the Newberry jewellers and watchmak ers, have decided to open a store in Anderson. They have 'onei of the prettiest stores with the lzgest as sortment of fine jewelry, cut glass and silver ware in this part of the state. and it is their purpose. to open even a more handsome establishment in Anderson. The Anderson braneb will be in charge of Mr. J. Guy Dan iels. Mr. Daniels came from Ander son with his father to Newberry some years ago. and his return to An derson is somewhat like going home, tiougi lie has b(#n -in Newberry long enough to become thoroughly identified as one of us. Mr. Daniels is an expert watch-maker and un derstands the jewelry business thor oughlv. having been brought up in it, so to speak. We regret to lose Mr. Daniels and his estimable wife from the business and social circles of Newberry but beg to extend to them our best wishes for their -success in Anderson, and also to commend them to the good people of this Piedmont city. Horse Flesh for Food. Wihile Great Britain is the largest importer in ;he world of cattle and sheep for food, it is oddly enough the largest exporter of horses for the same purpose. siys the Chicago Chronicle. The exporting of horses for breeding and other purposes has been profitable for many years, but the increase since 1901 is wholly due to the trade in horse meat in contin ental Europe. Of the number export ed in 1905. only 10,990 were worth more than $100 each. Belgium bought 21,459 at $50 or less each, the average price being 1 $27.35. The best horse meat is .sold for 10 to 12 cents a pound, poorer parts for 7 to 9 cents, and the re%i due is made into sausage-somewhat redder than ordinary and dimpled with fat6-which is the staple food of many poor people. The Netherlands trade is also growing, the British exports having ,gained fr6m-6,231 in 1904 to 14,854 in 1905,.at. prices under $50. This grow ing demand on the continent is chief ly-conseqdent. upon the shortage and high prices of other meats. REGISTEATIO NOTICE.
