The Newberry Building and Loan Company Make Money First Year ?Annual Meeting. The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Newberry Building and Loan Company was held iu the olliees of the 10.x change Bank 1 hurst!;.", at 112 o'clock. The report of Li> secretary and treasurer, M. L. Spearman, showed a net profit for !iie ;irs' year ol a li tie over ten per cent. i ho coirpany has issued between sever .-.mi eight hundred shares of stock and is authorized under its charter to issue one thousand. ?, A resolution was adopted authorizing the board ot directors to make some equitable arrangements by which the other two hundred shares may be sold so as to come in at par with the original slock holders in the final windup of the company. The showing for the past year is nn excellent one and there should be little dilhculty in selling the remainder of the stock. It will be a good investment and (lie company is doing a good work in lending money to people who desire to build their homes. 1 he following board of directors was elected for the ensuing year: Geo. B. Cromer, 10. X. Hipp, IT. L. Parr, J. D. Davenport, Geo. Johnstone, C. .1. Pureell, C. D. Weeks, W. G. llouseal, M. L. Spearman. Dr. 0. D. Weeks was elected in place of Mr. l'\ N. Martin, who has disposed of his stock. The others were re-elected. The board met immediately after the adjournment of the stockholders -and elected the following officers: Goo. B. Cromer, president; W. G. Houseal, vice-president ; M L. Spearman, secretary and treasurer, /f \ THE SOUTHERN NO. 11. Another Change In the Schedule . Putting Afternoon Passenger in Newberry Twenty Minutes Earlier. J ho schedule of the Southern passenger train No. 11, westbound, from Columbia, to Greenville, has again been changed, the change to go into effect next Sunday, and the train will leave Columbia twenty minutes earlier, arriving in Newberry at 3.20 p. in., instead of 3.40, the present schedule. This change, it is learned, but not authoritatively stated was made as the result of a conference which was held some days ago by the people of Anderson and the ollicials of the road. Al intervals for some time past changes have been made in this schedule. and each time the arrival time ;it Newberry lias been made a little earlier. And every time the arrival time nl Newberry is is made earlier Newberry is injured, and it is hard to understand how anybody is benefited, except il be the people of Anderson. So far as The Herald and News lias been able to learn, the Newberry chamber of commerce has s:it by and done nothing while these changes were being made. And if there are many more changes, even if each time the train is put in Newberry only twenty or thirty minutes earlier, we will soon be buck to the old schedule, having the (N. & L and I he Southern from Columbia arriving in Newberry at I lie same time, and the Southern passengers east bound and westbound passing in Newberry. What li as be come of the standing! ( commit Ices and the secretary of theNewberry chamber of commerce? GENERAL SESSIONS COURT.

Tt has been thought tlmt the new court house would be ready lor this term of court, but not all (In* furniture is yet in place, and the court will he held in the old court house. There are a number of eases for trial, and it is probable that the court will consume the whole week, all the time allotted by law for this term.

Davenport, assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying coneculed weapons. I he Stale vs. B. \Y. Good win, murder and carrying concealed weapons. The Slate vs. T.

These routes were laid out by I the inspector, who was here some time ago and he instructed the post master if it were impossible to cover . them that the postmaster should have ? the authority to draw them in. 1 Under the law the carriers are not t permitted to work over eight hours 1 and the routes as originally laid can't not be covered in that time. Postmast er Parcel! has therefore made the I limit lo route number one extend on lv to Summer street. II heretofore extended lo and included Hunt street. Route number two has been drawn in to extend only to Glenn street. It heretofore, also included Hunt street This route will only take in that porlion of Pair street from the residence ol Mr. Os. Wells to (he college and nothing beyond. ' Route number three remains as ii was originally laid out. This route lakes in only I he old section of the ' West End village and does not touch any of (lie streets or residences in Ihe new section of West find or in Brook' lyn. In fact Ihe Newberrv mill stili 1 ^?'im1s lo ihe tmslolTico for Ihe mail I to be delivered over there and there 1 is oracticallv no deliverv in West 1 End. I Poslmaster Pureell expects that an inspector will be here in a few days ' Mud prob'ddv a new adjustment of routes will be made. The fact is there should be an additional carrier it lh<> service is to be worth anything because il is valuable mainly to those residents who live on the outskirts of the city and if the routes have to be withdrawn so as not to retch them we would be just as well ofl without free deliverv. Postmaster ? Pureell has received official notice of the increase of his salary to $2,300. JAS. D. NANCE CAMP. Resolutions of Sympathy for Adjutant 0. L. Schumpert and in Mem-, ory of Gen. Stephen D.

Commencement at the college is near at hand and the campus and buildings, the student body and the people of Newberry are becoming animated in 'anticipation of the closing exercises. Already several of the preliminary features have been held, the reception to the senior class by Miss Rosalyn Summer, a former member of the class of '08, the annual reception by Dr. and Mrs. Seherer to the graduating class, and the banquet to the seniors by the junior class. On iuesday night the seniors were entertained most pleasantly by Miss Summer at her home on the campus Ironi 8..{I) to 12.00. A group of Newberry nirls, including the Newberry gills home for the holidays .from Elizabeth college, Miss Summer's Alma Mater, added much to the pleasure of I he evening. A delight ful repast was served, after which a piece of poetry whs written about each member ol the class. Much laughter was evoked when these poems were read. All in all the reception was a great success and a rare treat. Wednesday night the home of the college president was thrown open to the senior class, and Dr. and Mrs. Seherer made them feel at home and as royal guests. Here again (he evening was enhanced by the presence of many ??L Newberry's fair maidens. Mis. Seherer was ably assisted by Miss Rook Simmons, who presided at I lie punch bowl, and by Misses. Eva (Joggans, Marie Summer and Vanessa W illiattis who added in serving refreshments. All enjoyed themselves fully and went away thanking their hosts lor the pleasant evening afforded them. At the Orotwell Hotel on Thursday night the junior class tendered the senior the annual banquet. The courses were supplied by the ladies of the A. li. 1\ church of Newberry, and they deserve great credit for the excellence of their work. After the courses the tables were partly cleared and " toasts" were the order. P. L. Oeiger, '09, acted gracefully as toast master, V. B. Sense, '08, responding. The list of toasts .were: "To the Seniors," M. L. Kestcr, '00; "Our Successors," F. Wm. Cappelmaii, '08; "Our Co-eds," H. B. Senn, '08; "Boys," Miss Annie Jones, '00; "The August Body," H. G. Goggans, '08; "After All," W. L. Kibler, '09; (for II. B. Hare who was too ill to attend;) and "College Days," J. I. Koon, '08. All of these were well delivered, displaying much wit and much sentiment and were enjoyed bv all. For a while conversation was indulged and then the crowd broke up. Saturday night in the gymnasium there will be athletic drills and exhibitions, which will be very interesting. All the friends of the college are invited. Sunday morning at 11 a. m. the baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rev. Clms. S. Albert, of Philadelphia. The speaker is a learned and noted divine and will without doubt be heard by a large audience. Sunday night the address to the students under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. will be delivered by Rev. W. W. Daniel, D. D., of Columbia, S. C. Dr. Daniel is well known in Newberry as an eloquent and gifted man.

Monday afternoon at 3.00 p. m. the annual meeting of the board of trustees will be held at which time very important business will be transacted. ? Dots From St. Philips. This community was greatly shocked by the death of Mr. Sidney Shealey. lie was sick only four days. How sad it was for him to be taken from his wife and three little children. Ho was just in the bloom of life; only 31 years and 10 months. He was a aid working man and thought well of by everybody. Besides a host of friends and other relatives he leaves to mourn his departure a devoted wile, three little children, a mother, six brothers and four dear sisters. Services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. C.- Wessingor. May the dear Lord tenderly comfort his loving companion and dear little children, his kind mother and brothers and sisters. But now he is in that beautiful land,. The far-away home of the soul. Where no storms ever beat on that beautiful strand,' Whilst the years of eternity roll. "" v * g;:Hi.Ruff. AGAINST THE BONDS. No. 6 Votes Against Bonds for Permanent Road Improvement. ' The election on (ho question of issuing bonds for road improvement in No. (> township was held yesterday. The Herald and News could not secure an oilicial return of the result before going to press last night but was informed that a very light vote was polled. At 11 o'clock only four votes had boon cast at Trinity and it was stated that all of them were against the bond issue. At 3 o'clock twenty votes had been cast at Longshore's and sixteen were against the bond issue and four for it. It is probable that not more than one third of the votes in the township was cast and thitt the majority was very decided against the movement to issue bonds. We had no report from Reederville.
