There was a good rain in Newberry yesterday but we are told it did not 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 crop in this section. Conservative farmers estimate that it has damaged the <smp from 20 to 25 per cent. ENUMERATION INHABITANTS. Oity Council Having Police Oonsus Taken?Proper Thing to Do? Probably 8,000 People. I lu' city council lias decided to have a police census taken of the inhabitants of the city. Tlu- 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 course without an olTicial enumeration any statement made of the population was an approximation. The fact is, we have felt that the census of 1900 did not do the city justice, hut granting that jit did, there has been remarkable growth during the past seven years, and in order that we might know just j how many people there are in Newj hcrry it is a good investment | to have the enumeration made, and I by having it done by the police, it ( ill.) be more accurately taken than by any other citizen and can be made at a minimum of cost. I he city has appointed Policeman II. II. I'raukliu to make the enumeration. Mr. Franklin has been on the loice continuously tor a ureal manv years, and is entirely familiar with every section. and is, therefore, eminently fitted for this work. We have contended that there were S.000 people in the city of Newberry, mid we are satisfied that when the enumeration is completed it will be found that our estimate was not too huge. 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 number of persons connected with that . family and living in the same house, and is making a spearale list of whiles and blacks. In Ward one there arc I I/O persons. 01 these .>0'J are white and .><Si are colored. I'his is probably the smallest ward in numerical strength in the city, but granting that ihe others are no larger and j hasiiiy the estimate on the number of i persons in Ward one would give us about 7001) persons. If we admit i that the I . S. census which was taken in l!)0l) wac correct it will be seen that the increase in population during the seven years has about doub- i led. j Missionary Address. Mrs. M. <). ,F. Kreps, one of the J leading workers in the mission Held, has kindly consented to deliver an i address on mission work at Colony church on Sunday next. Mrs. Kreps' < address will take Ihe place of the ser- I nion at 11 o'clock. We trust that : there will be a large attendance pres- I enl to hear Mrs. Kreps. t T. ,J. Wr. Newberry Hotel. i I lie work of repairing the Newberry Hotel has been about complet- ( "'d. In fad. everything has been com- 1 1*1**1 ed except |he putting in of the plate glass front and the laying of : I l he l ile floor in front. M r. (\ ('. j l)avis. the contractor, has already be- ! gun tearing out the old brick wall ' j preparatory to putting in plate gla.is ! front. When completed, this will be one ol Ihe handsomest and best ar- 1 ranged hotel buildings in this part of t he state. Now Depot at Dyson. Mr. W . I",. Simpson, superintendent I of the <lrcen\'ille division of the Southern railway has decided upon the erection of the new depot at Dysons 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 fertile country is tributary to this point, and they need and deserve better facilities tor passenger and freight business, and we commend Mr. Simpson lor showing the consideration to these patrons ol his road, which he has done by arranging to erect this depot. Shelley and Summor. Shelley and Summer, the large Iurnituiv dealers of Newberry, have recently moved into their new and handsome brick building in Pratt street and are now better prepared to display their large assortment of 1 urnit ure to advantage than I hey 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.

The books of registration for the cit.v election which' is to In- held 011 K the .second Tuesday, the JOth day, of wi December* are now open. It should ]>1< be remembered by those who desire to ha participate in this election that it is wl necessary to be registered, and reg- yo istration has to be annually. It is presumed that the executive commit- i wi tee of the city demorcaey will hold a I tSv meeting sometime soon, so a< fo de- 0f (ermine upon the plan ol' nomination f|'j of candidates. Of course, it' is laken for ranted, i{( thai the same plan for nominations as adopted heretofore! by primary ,,,, will be carried out.I'hj real election will be in the primary, as there is no probability of j(j( any other than a democratic ticket i 0i> b'injr pul up. The reason for I he pri- v:i mary is, by this mode it requires a (<|, majority ol the electors to nominate, <? and in I he general election which on- j' ly requires jlurality vote it would be vo, possible for a minority of the eit-|(ja i/.etis to elect a mayor and aldermen. K(1 hast year the citizens' meeting was VVV(, not held until about the first of No- , veniber. It is usual, however, for the ^. candidates to announce, their candi- W|, da<*\ before this time, and no doubt ^|j it will not b." lon?- before those who jj,, intend to aspire for municipal posilions will be advising the citizens of that fact. It requires a registration cert if icate to vote in the primary in the city ns election, and, therefore, it is important that every citizen should secure .1 his registration certificate. The books " <?f registration will remain ..pen until the first of December, so that it will be no trouble for those desiring ^ ' to vole to secure 'their registration S(>l certificate. I here have been some rumors as to ? probable candidates for ninvor; but in 1 up to this time no announcements ov< have been made in the papers. It is Th understood thai Mayor Brown' will !??! not be a candidate to succeed hiiyself. ,(^u Mn As to Roads. ser Mr. Kditor: I see the road question dei is still being agitated over the state, frii und justly so, no more unjust law has to been our statute books. Why th?z poor the white man and the negro should do du nil the work on the roads and let the |>a: land owner go tree is a mystery to chi ?"' ' * of A property tax of 1 mil) and two si v lollar commutation will he' sufficent to put our roads in good condition ()1< md keep them so. Will we ever get a di, legislature that will do justice to all let >n the road quest ion? |<\, Hut I want to say, that there has an been a great improvement in the j,n roads this year. The roads I travel, nm (U. I*. I). No. 1) are in much better rondition than for year.- past. Sup- , I'rvisor \\ ieker has 1 ?? 11 verv active |j , with his chain gang and has done |j() <oine splendid work, not only on route ( 1. bui 011 the different routes ... und other sections of the count v. , I hen the overseers have been more , faithful than in the lasi few years. ? \\ ith three exceptions, every overseer i>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 S? working of our roads in the future. \\ ith .) mules one driver and one man scrape four miles of the ordinary dirt roads can be put in good condi- it} tion each day. 11 Uncle Pete. Jo Watts' Racket. Watts' Racket Store has been moved into the store room under the * Newberry Hotel, 'recently occupied by Mr. S. B. Jones. The store-room Jn has been re-painted and thoroughly J!1, over-hauled and is now one of the ' most attractive store rooms in the city. In Mr. and Mrs. Watts have not yet completed the opening of their stock ol goods, but as soon as they i;et ^ I h^in properly arranged, they will have a very attractive store, and will be pleased to have their friends and w< customers call.

Horse Flesh for Food. Willile Great Britain is the largest vporter in the world of cattle and eep for food, it is oddly enough < e largest exporter of horses for the me purpose, says the Chicago lironicle. The exporting of horses ~ >r breeding and other purposes has I en profital>le for many years, but e increase since 1901 is wholly due the trade in horse meat in eontin- N ital Europe. Of the number export- JI in 1905, only 10,990 were worth ore than $100 each. ? Belgium bought 21,439 at $50 or I? ss each, the average price being !7.3.>. The host horse meat is sold r 10 to 12 cents a pound, poorer! irts for 7 l(? 9 cents, and the ri'si- ei ie is made into sausage?somewhat I dder than ordinary and dimpled ith fat;? which is the staple food of any poor people. The Netherlands trade is also F owing, the British exports having lined from 0,231 in 1904 to 1.4,'834 in 0.-), at prices under $50. This growg demand on the continent is chief- 8conseqitent upon the shortage and gh prices of other meats. F REGISTRATIO NOTICE.
