REGISTRATION FOR bITY.
'he Books to Open Next Week
County and State Registration
a Prerequisite.
Thw books of registration for the
ity eleetii'n will be opeled by Mr.
Emrenc . Werts, supervi-:or of reg
=tration. at his office, council cham
>er. on next Tuesday, September 8.
md will remain open up to and in
4udin, December 1st.
In order to vote in the primaries in
:he city elections, it is necessary to
iave a reristration certificate. In
>rder to secure a city registration
ertificate .t. is necessary to have a
-egistration certificate for the county
md State election. The State law
,ays: "Electors in municipal elee
:ions shall possess the qualifications
md be subject to the disqualifications
ierein prescribed. The production of
certificate of registration from the
egistration officers of the county as
in elector at a precinct included in
:he incorporated city or town in which
.he voter desires to vote is declared
m condition prerequisite to his obtain
.ng a certificate of registration for
nunicipal elections, and in addition
le must have been a resident within
,he corporate limits at least four
nonths before the election and have
)aid taxes due and collectible for the
wreceding fiscal year."
It will be seen, therefore, that in
)rder to register for the city elec
;ion, the voter must first secure his
-egistration certificate from the coun
:y supervisors of registration. Under
;he rules governing the primary elec
;ion, for the city a registration cer
ificate from the city authorities must
>e secured.
The city primary. is usually held
ibout the latter part of November or
he first of December and the regis
;ration books will be open from next
['uesday up to and including Decem
)er 1st.

fr. James Wheeler, manager, has
>ilt a new office on the south side
)f the warehouse fronting O'Neall
;treet. Persons desiring to store cot
;on if brought to the platform at this

.mmediately. Mr. Wheeler is prepar
ad to weigh cotton to be stored and
;o issue receipts promptly, if the
sotton is delivered at the platform
which has been built fronting 0O'Neall
treet and next to the new office. If
mloaded at the old platform receipts
~annot be issued until the cotton can
ye placed in the warehouse and some
;imes this causes some delay. Those
who desire to store their cotton should

ens railroad has been operating trains
throu;2h to tolumbia all of the wee',.
The Southern railway has not vet
got its track and road bed put in such
condition as to take up any regular
schedtle between Columbia and
Greenville. The engine which was

that the trestle at Saluda river be
tween Chappells and Dyson and the
track from there to Greenville will
be in such condition that by Saturday
or Sunday trains may be operated
from Newberry through to Greenville,
and as soon as this is done the regu
lar schedule of all passenger trains on
the C. and G. division will be taken
up and the Southern will use the
tracks of the C., N. & L. from Pros
perity to Columbia. It is not proba
ble that the track from Alston to Co

TO REBUILD STEEL BRIDGE .
uggestion of The Herald and News:
Acted Upon and Bridge Will be
Rebuilt Instead of Ferry.
The committee from the citizens'
tetin ar-"ted upn) the suggestion of
'he lerald and News and sent a spe
ial committee composed of Messrs.
F. Wri rht. C. T. Summer and J. A. 1
hurton to the steel bridge on Tuesday I
lorning in company with Supervisor
Monroe Wicker. It was decided to
bandon the idea of building the fer
v and to proceed at once to the re
uilding of the steel bridge. Mr.
Vicker states that the bridge is all
ere having just been turned over
nd that he can rake it to pieces and
ebuild it with very little expense for
ew parts. Mr. Wicker will move the
hain gang to the bridge the latter
art of this week and will commence I
ie work of rebuilding next week. In
is he will have the cooperation of
he supervisor and citizens of Saluda
ounty, and will be able to replace
e bridge about as soon as he could
uild a ferry and with very little ad
itional cost. Mr. Wicker thinks that II
ithin two or three weeks he will
ave the bridge ready for travel.
It is much better to do this than to
ave undertaken to build a tempor- 1
ry ferry because the money put into
e ferry would have been wasted
ractically. Besides, as stated in The
[erald and News on Tuesday, the
erry would not have accommodhted
ae people who desire to cross from
e Saluda side.

IN MEMORIAM,
Thyra Schumpert McClure.
Born at Newberry, S. C., 5th April,
88. Died at Knoxville, Tenn., 1st

Still we think of her the same 1
As when the Master's summons
came:
Her change-the holy morn-light
breaking.
Upon the dream-worn sleeper wak-1

A change from twilight into day.''
Happy are the memories that abide
'ith all who knew and loved her
Lemories of a bright and joyous girl-]

races of a womanly life, bestowing,<
with a glad unthrift,'' its sunny<
ght on all around; a life instincti
'ith gentlest courtesies, maturing
perfection, crowned with womans-'
ood royal coronet, the crown of
Lotherhood.
Those who knew her best loved her
Lost, and she was worthy of their1
)ve. Hers was a true and loving1
eart, cleaving only to the pure, the
ne, the good, with
Sympathies that found no rest
Save with the loveliest and the
best.''
She was the joy of the home and
ie light of the social circle. A lead-]
in every work of benevolence, her's
'as the love and the kindness and the'
ity that gave fresh flowers for the
ridal and green wreaths for the
rave. In the little city that she lov
1, no hour of sorrow nor of!
badness was complete without'
er sunny, smile to lighten the
loom or heighten the joy. She
ved her home, her friends, the
hurch. and her love abides-love and
emembrance and thanksgiving for
be seet influence of her gentle life.
'A little while,'' and we, who lov
d her here, one after one, shall fol

pen on eternity. Waiting the Mas
