Entered at the Postoice at New '_em-. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, November 5, 1907. SHOULD HAVE EXPERT COME. Sometime ago a committee, compos ed of Dr. J. K. Gilder, from the board of health; L. W. Floyd, from the city council; and Dr. James McIntosh, of the commission of public works, was named to go to Washington to inves tigate the different systems of sew erage and to confer with an expert so as to determine what is best to be done in rEgard to the sewr.-re sys tem, whch is installed in Newberry. It seems that our present sewerage system is a failure. The three to five thousand dollars, which was spent on the septic tank last year, would have accomplished just about as much if it had been thrown into Scott's Cre,'k. It seems to us that it would be better to send for an expert and let him come here instead of sending a committee to Washington to confer - with an expert. If there were a case of typhoid fev er in NewNberry, it would not be con sidered wise to send a set of laymen to consult with an expert on typhoid fever and then come back and at tempt to treat the case, but rather you would send for the expert to come here and see the case and treat it himself. That seems, though, to be the plan that is adopted in regard to our sewerage system. It is all right. for these gentlemen to examine dif ferent systems and find out some thing about what is the best system, but the case here seems to be a des perate one, and it would appear a wiser course to have the expert come here to treat the case. When these gentlemen return it will be necessary then to get someone to come, who un derstands the building of sewers and look after whatever ehanges may be necessary, and why not let him come at once. A great deal of money has been spent on this sewer system, which we -have here, and we fear that the trou ble cannot 'be remedied without build ing a new system. When it was in stalled, the trouble was, it seems, that *it was in charge of those who knew very little about building sewers. It is a very important matter,'because it involves the health of all the peo ple of this community, and we should not be niggardly in the expending of a few dollars when the health of the people is at stake, and we do not de sire to be understood as objecting to this committee making a visit to Washington, but it seems to us that it would accomplish a better purpose if they ,would senid for an expert to come here and tell us just what should be done and then let our money be spent in doing that whieh will re medy the evil. It is now only a short time before i the annual Fall Festival will be in Charleston and t'he people are making -inquiries and discussing the trip. Charleston is always very attractive at this season of the year, and the ~plans announced by the Festival As sociation this year seem very interest ing and atitractive. Amnong the big features the military will be very prominent for squads from the var ious companies of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd regiments are to enter a compe titive, prize drill, after which there 'will be a grand parade, pariticipated in .by regulars, from Fort Moultrie, marines from the Charleston Navy *Yard, members ofthe South Carolina Volunteer troops, 'naval Militia and cadets of the S. C. Military Academy and the Porter Military Academy, trades, floral and fantastic parades, an automobile exhibition on the bat *tery, motor boat races in the har bor, excursions, band concerts, free shows on squares and tent shows at *cross streets, are among the attrae *tions featured. The railroads in Ithe state have made a rate of one fare, plus 25 cents for the round trip, and already the hotels are receiving applications for rooms. Among the side trips when vistin Charlesto;n are the Navy Yard. where theie ha just been comnleted oae of' trie. Sall1ivans~ [-land, t he NIle of Palms. etc. The date are~ November 18 to 23, more ahead and ar goo to return until November 25. The ladies of Gre"nwood are m'ak ing' efforts to preserve the Old Star Fort near Ninety *Six. Thi' is a good work and should have the sup port and encouragement of all good Did any one observe how lovely an pleasant it was to wade through th sidewalks in Newberry just after th little'rain last week. The streets were a standing ani convincing argument last week fo some street paving. In Greenwood the work of stree paving is going right along. Are. th pevople of N4wberty !satis-ed witl our streets aid sidewalks. Of cours it will take some money to make thes needed improvements but who mind that if there is value received for th outlay. Some permanent street worl is what is needed and it should b started somewhere. THE NEWS OF POMARIA. College Boys at Home-Fire Burn Barn and Stables of Mr. Hentz -Off to Synod.

On Saturday night about twent; minutes to eleven o 'clock the bar> and stables of Mr. John J. Hentz wer discovered to be on fire. The alarr was sounded promptly, 'but the flame spread rapidly and it was impossibi to, save the building. Fortunately the wind was blowing from the diret tion of the dwelling house, and tha was not endangered. There were abou a hundred bushels of corn, twent; bushels of oats, and thirty-five o forty dollars worth of hay and fod der in the building. Some of the e'or was recovered, in a damaged condi tion, but the remaining contents wer totally destroyed. Fortunately, Mi Hentz 's horse and cow were not i the stables. Some bhogs which were i: the building were slightly burned be fore they were gotten out. The build ing was insured, but there was no in surance at all on the contents. The cause of the fire is unknowr although there are indications tha point to an inicendiary origin. ] LetUsRc 'ANDERSOP China, Cr04 Tinware, E Lamps, Pi ture Fra tions WcAreflead "Come Opposite C i n p that the fire was start ed by rats, for there is no way by e which they could have easily gotten hold of matdhes.

Not long r since he lost a valuable hose, and about two years ago his store was burned in the big fire that almost t completely destroyed the town. THE NEWS OF WHITMIRE.
