Jenkins in Newberry?Mr. H. H. Abrams Recommended Agent for Newberry. o Mr. John M. Jenkins, agent for n tin; goverment for this stale* in the 5- work of demonstration, was in New>r berry on Tuesday. Mr. Jenkins will i- make his headquarters at Laurens ;c and will personally have charge of e the demonstration work in that eoune :y in connection with looking after i: the agents in the other counties which have been selected for this work, ir The llerald and News on Tuesday d printed an explanation of the work which it is proposed to he done, y Mr. Jenkins is under Prof. Bnr*. row, of Louisiana, who was in New79 o berry some weeks ago. Mr. H. IT. Aibrams has been recommended for t- appointment as agent, in this county, r. and no doubt his appointment will he made. Mr. Abrams is one of the y most successful as well as one of the practical farmers of this county, and ? he will select a number of farmers in different sections of the county '' who are willing to select a small plot of land to be cultivated and fertilizi. ed according to directions from the - governor. This should lie of great value to the farmers in this county, and it is e hoped that those undertaking it will follow instructions carefully and <. thus have the most up-to-date met'ni ods of cultivation as well as the ape plicatioi of fertilizer. It is not - proposed to experiment but to des monstrate experiments which have already been tried bv the government r I'o.- the benefit of the farmers of this county. It is now a little late; th3 demonstrators can not get the benefit of fall plowing but it is hoped hat the work will begin at once. s. Mr. William H. Hunter. On account of hi-; injuries received in the Observer office some time ago, Mr. \Y. II. Hunter is now unable t<i work, and it is thought that it will i- j be necessary for him to go to a hos11 tpifal for treatment before he may - resume his work. Mr. Hunter lias I. been in the printing business for some thirty years, and is an expert ?- in all the mechanical lines of a printn iug office. At one time he filled with > entire satisfaction a position in live o government printing office at Washi, ington, which position he was forced to resign on account of his health, d 'Mr. Hunter has always taken ail s interest in Newberry's fire departa nieiit, and has helped save thousands e of dollars worth of proprety here, i, many times at the risk of his life, s Tn the disastrous conflagration in o Newberry in March of this year, while he was not in good health at o that time, his services were conspir cions and valuable. o Mr. Hunter's many friends regret h very much that he has been forced i- to give up his work, v o for the state senate. v Sena.tor Cole. L. Blease Will Be a l> Candidate for Re-election?Anv nouncement Yesterday. I Senator Cole. L. Blease yesterday stated to a representative of The f Herald and News that he would be a ? candidate to succeed himself as the representative of Newberry county v in the state senate. 0 For some time past it. has bean _ thought that' Gov. Ansel might be a s candidate for the United States sen0 ate, and if flow Ansel had been a _ candidate to succeed Senator Latimer, there would have been candidates for governor who would not s have (l<;sirc<l to oppose Governor Ansel for a second term, and the fact that these were candidates would probably have brought out candidates for other offices, and the whole political situation would have ^ been in somewhat of a turmoil, with ^ races open to all. For this reason candidates have been slow in an" nonneing themselves. On Tuesday, however, Governor Ansel announced that he would not 1 be a candidate for the United States senate, but would aspire to a second term as governor. Tn view of this announcement, Senator Blease feit free to say that next summer he would be a candidate for the sene ate in this countv. it * Crepe paper, all colors.
