ROOSEVELT ENDS
THIRD TERI TALK
PRESIDENT REPEATS HIS ELEC
TION NIGHT UTERANCE
All Doubt Dispelled as to His Atti
tude -Bryan Says he is not
Surprised.
Wshington, December 11.-Presi
dent Roosevelt will not bra a candi
date for a third term. All doubt on
this point was dispelled today by the
authoized statement from the White
House that Mr. Rosevelt still adher
ed to the declaration made three
years ago. In the statement issued
tonight President Roosevelt says he
'has not changed and shall not change
the decision communicated to the
public in 1904.
It appears that the president has
been awaiting the call for the Re
publican National Convention tokaf
ford the proper opportunity for mak
ing his position clear and unmistaka
ble, and thus leave the field clear
for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox,
Foraker and other declared. or re
ceptive candidates for the Republi
can nomination. The president's
statement follows:
"On the night after 'the election I
made the following annonoement:
'I am deeply sensible of the honor
done m by the American pebple in
thus expressing their confidence in
what I have tried to do. I appre
-eiate to the full the- solemn responsi
bility this confidence imposes upon
me and I shall do all that in my
po er lies not to forfeit it. On the
fourth of March next I shall have
.sered three and a half years, and
this three and a half years eonstitutz
my first term. The wise estom,
Swhich. limits the -president to two
terms regards the s- a1n $, and
mot the form. and under no tireum
sta ces will I be a eandidate for or
seeept another ne ton
"I have not ehWigel and:shall not
change the decision thus gaounoed."

Germany are fortunate in a mother
of royal family who fills the role to
such perfection, accomplishred as she

workers of Germany. To be serene
and placid ,without being dull is .a
most 'happy combination for her in
offset for the temperament of her
strenuous husband. Such has been
the outcome of the love-match the
Kaiser made as a very young man'
'with the Princess Augusta of Sehles

No, Mr. Roosevelt would not ac

mesage proves that he expects few
more chances to write to congress.

A farmer, on a frosty autumn af

early sun sank in the west, and as
the bluish dusk came on the farmer
perieved at the other end of the

The farmer watched the pair in
some perplexity. What could they
be doing? And he was just putting
his hand to his cheek to shout and
ask them their business when one of
them rose up and yelled loudly and

CHRISTMS DUUD3 YU
THE HOLIDAY TRADE
NEWBBERY MEROHANTS HAVE
COMPLBTB LINBS.
They Anticipate a Big Trade And
Announce Their Bargains in
The Herald and News.
The merehants of Newberry are
prepared for the heavy Christmas
trade which is always done in New
berry during, the two weeks preced
ing Christmas. It is probable that
never before in the history of New
berry have such large stocks of
Christmas goods been purchased in
anticipation of the holiday trade.
This is but natural, because Newber
ry has grown along material lin-as,
and the merchants of Newberry have
increased their purchases in propor
tion to Newberry's rapid growth.
The financial stringency of the
past few months ha3 not played any
part in the calculations of N-awber
ry merchants in buying Christmas
goods. It is not to be denied that
money has been scarce, but with it
all and through it all the fact re
mains that the south is. more pros
perous than at any time before since
the War Between the States, and the
merchants knew that with Newber
ry's growth, the Chirstmas trade
this year would be the biggest in tne
history of the city.
Christmas is the children's festi
val, because, it was on Christmas
morn that the Babe who was to- be
the Savior of the world lay in Beth
lehem's manger. -It has come to be,
and rightly so, that one of the great
objects of Christmas is to make the
children happy. Santa Claus comes
to them and in the bestowal of pres
ents teaches them the great Christ
mas iesson,- upon the. truth of whiCh.
the salvation of the. wo worl d -
pends. At Christmas time the stores
always remind one of "toy land,. lit.
tie girl and;hoy lan&" But. for-hi
.Chritmas in Newberry, not only hav3.
the toy- stores, the ehildren's- stores,.
laid in large stoeksi for: the Chris
mas trade. but the clothing stores
and the hardware stores and tha:
groery , stores. and the drug stores
and - all the stores-iot only those
vhich handle the toys for the chil
Mreua-hut also those which handle the
neessities of life-have purchased
goods which should demand the at
tetion of Christmnas shoppers.
The Herald and News today prints
sixteen pages, in which are includedI
the announcements of the Newberry
merchants to the holiday trade. Their
advertisements should reeeive the
attention of those trading in New.
berry. In a business-like mannurr
they- tell what they have for sale ani
invite the patronage of those who
wish to purchase goods. Before the
days of large newvspaper creuabion
it was a. rule that any oneN wishing to
purhase goods mus't go to the stores
and~ look in each to see whlieh hand
led .the goods the purchaser wanted
at the. price the purehaser desired. to
pay. That time has passed. It is a
safe rule that when a merehant has
bargains to offer to the public ii is
going to let the public know of
them, and tl e merchant knows thait
the best mediumn is the newspaper.
It is the logical conclusion that if
ne wishes to yurchase Ohristmas
goods this ye~ar the safest way to
make a choice is to read the adver
tisements of the merchants in the.
newspapers, and to go to those mer
hants who Nave advertised their
wares.
In this issue of The Herald and
News many of the merchants of
Nwberry have offered bargaias.
The Mower Company.
One of the. principal lines to
which the Mower Company desires!
to call the attention of Christmas
shoppers is millinery, which is now
Ibeing offered at cost prices. Wihen
the Mfower Company advertises cost,
iv anas cost, and when they say
ey are going to close out their mil-j
j-linery a.t cost, it means that tireir
patrons are going to get hats at cost.
"Miss Burk is now serving her second
season with the Mower Company, and
hat she has ability and taste in the;
Df Newberry and the whole county.
In addition to millinery and in ad
dition to their regular line of dry
goods and shoes, the Mower Com
pany are calling special attention to
furs, fancy collars in separate Christ
mas boxes, umbrellas and handker
ehiefs. This is one of the oldest and
most reliable firms in Newberry.
The Ewart-Perry Company.
On August 1 of this year the
Ewart-Perry rompany was formed is
Newberry. Mr. W. F. Ewart and Mr.
R. C. Perry, and Mr. Richard Swit
tenberg, who compose the firm,
have been in the clothing and fur
nishing business for many years, and
it is probable that there are few fa
milies in Newberry county who have
not purchased goods from one or the
other of these gentlemen.
They have a modern and up-to-date
clothing arnd furnishing store, sueh
as would be exreeted from their
combined experience in their line of
business. In addition to their large
stock of clothing, \hoes' and hats,
they call attention to their Chrit
mas stock of bath robes, smoking
jackets, silk mufflers, neck-wear,
hosiery and suspenders. They have
a large line of tan shoes for ladies
and gentlemen. One of their best
makes of shoes is the Blueher, which
is standard. With the great demand
in Newberry during the past several
months for tan shoes, it should be to
the interest of Christmas shoppers, to
inspect the big stock of the Ewart
Perry Company.
Summer Brothers.
Among the largest firms in the
state is that of Summer Brothers.
They have three distinct stores in
Newberry in which they handle cloth
ing and dry goods, furnishings, gro
cries, and hardware, and in, addi
tion to these three stores they have
a warehouse in which is stored one
of the prettiest line of buge and

men with the same variety. 'They
have ties ranging in price from twen
ty-five -eents- to $1.25 and silk muf
flers -which would make beautiful
Christmas presents.
Daniels and Wmllamson.
Daniels &' Williamson have one of
the prettiest jeweiry stores in the
state,. and it is said by those who ~
appreeiate a pretty jewelry store
that, for. the size of the city, it will
compare favorably with any-stora of - '
its kind in the south. Their main
line, of course, is 'watches, ~jewelry
and silver ware. nil the jewelry
line they have five hundred kinds of
rings, and in addition to their dia
mond rings and plain gold rings and
every other kind of rings, they are
calling special attention to their 1in
of peari rings, which range in prie
from $10 to $85. Loekets and chains
they have, of course, and they -are
never out of date. Diamond brooches
ange in price from $15 to $200, and
solid gold brooches from one dollar
up. Watch fobs, both gold filled and
solid gold, range in price ffom one
dollar to $25. Cuff but'tons, hat pins,
comb, brush and mirror sets, and
maniure sets are suitable for Christ
mas presents, and their line of Gor
ham's sterling silver, and triple plat
ed ilver, guaranteed for twenty-five
years, is the most complete ever
brought to Newberry. Their line of
knives, forks, spoons, etc., is also
eomplete. One who appreciates jew
alry wo'uld be well repaid by look
ing over the stock whether he desires
to ,purchase or not.
Fellers & Morgan.
Some three months ago Mr. Rufus
G. Fellers, and- Mr.' J. B. Morgan
formed a partnership under the firm
name of Fellers & Morgan, and since
its formation the firm~has' been sue
essful. They carry a Large line of
shoes, bats and furnishing goods, in
eluding Boyden 's shoes for men, E.
P. Reed' shons for womnn. the Nu
