Some time ago the county superin tendent of education gave notice tha the t.ime for entering the contest fo the prizes offered by the rural schoo improvement association of Sout] Carolina would close on the 10th o this month. Only two schools have entered th uontest and they are both in t.he low~ er section of the county. Excelsior, taught by Miss Sudi Mae Boulware; and Mt. Pilgrin taught by Miss Mamie Counts. It was hoped more schools woul enter the contest because even if th prize was not won the school woul be better for the effort made. The association by the last legislh ture was given a small appropriatio for this purpose. The idea was t enee,-r..ge t.n effort to improv the appearance of the countr 'school and to arouse mor interest in these sehools by the t.eael e~r and pupils and by the parents an -eitizens of the community.

Among those ar- y rested are some gentlemen who are D quite well-known to the public. Four In or five were detained at the guard ea house in default of bail, the others furnishing bond in the sum of $200.00 he each. 0: Most of the cases are set for trial w before Mayor Langford this morning. lu Several of the accused have retained pE counsel and it is understood will ti make a vigorots fight to establish t1 their innocence, while some of them bi are likely to enter pleas of guilty. b( Only two or three, and these negroes, fr are what the police call old offenders, tli the others being generally men who ei have not been heretofore accused, ev- o1 en if suspected. of engaging in the il- m licit liquor trade. ai Chief of Police Adams, it is said, lu engaged three detectives a couple of weeks ago to come to Newberry and ? work up these cases. The men have rc pretended to be engaged in various at agency occupations, .and while pre- w "'b11bly doing this work have in real- ex ity been securing evidence upon which Iy to base prosecutions. la The Herald and News has not been of able to secure a complete list of d< those for whom warrants have been ct issued, and in order not to. discrim inate we refrain from publishing the ai names of those charged that we have D had furnished us. at of A.

At is time a comnmis:ioner of public orks is also to be chosen. So far city politics has been ex-jd gly quiet. It is very probable that 1e mayor and aldermen will be re ominated without opposition. The resent council has been progressive nd aggressive and many improve tents have been made. There is still >om, however, for many more im rovements, and the intention of the resent administration is to go to ork and pave some of our streets, nd make other needed improvements, aid as a matter of fact the term of ice should be two years instead of ne.

S ,eport of Engineer on Cost of the C Extension-City Hears Report and Will Submit it to Voters. ;,tM : ? ;. tl: ~1 10,ir the 1' 1?t" E'R' I':i l' sV tt'11. r It is eStiIate1 that the work nec- a ary to) be donle to complete the , f ewera'e system for Newberry will 1 ost about $45.000. Along with the e eport of the commissioners was sub- ( 1itted the report to the commission- 1 rs of Messrs. Wilson; Sompayrac. nl I'rgnhart. engineers. of Colum- t ia. who have made the plans. This eport and plans include the follow-I1 O extensions as taken from the re rt of the (ngineers: "1st. The extension of the main r utfall of your sewerage system along he North fork of Scott's Creek. ] "2nd. A new outfall from John tone street through the railroad cul -rt by the Mollohon mill down the 4 ith fork of Sef+t't' creek, joining he two outfalls at the junction of I he two creeks. "3rd. The installation of efficient ewage disposal works at this point. "4th. An extension along John ,tone street. from Sumter to Hig ;ins. discharging into the new out ,all. "5th. An extension along Pratt treet. from Jones to Kinard; along Hinard. from Pratt to Mayer avenue; iong Mayer avenue and Harper treets. from Kinard to Calhoun, dis ,harging into the present sewer on ~alhoun. "6th. An extension along Cald vell street, from point near Baptist !hurch to the new outfall on Scott's reek. "7th. An extension along Dray .on street, from Bounary to the iew oatfall on the South fork of sott's Creek. "8th. An extension along Nance reet, from Hatton to Pope; along ?ope, from Nance to Southern Rail vay crossing; and along Cornelia treet, from Harris to Nance, all dis tharging into the existing sewer at Eatton and Nance." It also includes the extension of he main outfall from the old septic ank at the foot of 0O'Neall street, ~olowing the contour -along the North ~ork of the creek for 6700 feet to a evel plateau near the junction of the two creeks, where it is proposed -to instal the Sewage Disposal Works. The engineers think that it will be necessary, or well at least, to pro vide $50,000. In order to do this it will be necessary to issue additional bonds and before that can be done the question will have to be submit ed to the people. With this amount, however. it is proposed to place at the disposal of- every property owner the privilege of connection with the sewer system. The boar'd of health has condemn ed the septic tank and it is necessary that it be moved and while we are at the work it is just as well to have the system extended as provided in the estimate. There is nothing more important to engage the attention of the people of the community, not on ly for their own protection but for the good of the entire community, as looking after and caring for the health of the citizens. Petitions will be presented in a few das and an onportuni.tv will be giv en to the tax payers to say what they desire in regard to this mitter. There should, however, be but one opinion. and if it takes $50,000 to complete % sewernaee syste mand to remove the septic tank far enough not to en danger the heal.th of any citizen, .$50, 000 should be voted. Epworth League. The attention of the members of the Epworth League is called to a special meeting on next Thursday evening in the Sunday school room of the church at eight o'clock. A special program will be prepared for this meeting and there will be two or three speakers for a short space of time each during the league hour. A cordial invitation is extended to all the members of the church to be pres ent, a.nd the members of the league are earnestly requested nost to over look this meeting. A cabinet meeting of the officers and especially of the vice-presidents is called for seven-thirty o'clock the same evening, that is, just a half hour before the evening service. Death of Mr. W. A. Chalmers. Mr. Win. A. Chalmers died in C?o lumbia on Friday of last week and. was buried at Head Springs church on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Chalmers was a native of this oenty. a son of Mr. Tom Ch:lmers and a brother of Mrs. WV. C. Brown. He wa ant 45 years old.

Iolloway. clerk of the Newberry No ')ar(d. and Supervisor B. T. Mack. .d .Mr. Eugene W. Able, clerk of ess he Sa1lula board. met at Chappells Im last Friday to rereive bids and FOR et the ()ntiract. H1' Six bids were sul)mittel as follows: W; Southern Bridge Company. Bir- Pra aingham. Ala.. $2375.00. tim Joliet Bridge and Iron Co., Joliet, 1st 11.. $2547.00. see Austin Bros.. Atlanta. Ga., $2700. 1 The Southern Highway Bridge Co., Treenwood. S. C., $2686. WAl Illinois Bridge Co.. Chicago. Ill., sel] 4470.ch A. D. McClain, Spartanhnvg, S. C., 7 1 ;3493. The bridge is built jointly by Sa- 3000 uda. and Greenwood counties and the br ;wo counties furnish all the necessary wo umber to put up the bridge, and the' ya -ontract as stated includes only the ;teel portion. The approach on eith- JES: .r side will be buildt by the respec- 70 ;ive counties. The approach on the 0 saluda side is 204 feet long and on I7 he Newberr. side 465 feet which gr )rings the bridge right up to the rail- se road at Chappells. The total length stray >f the bridge is 819 feet. which makes . t the longest bridge in either county. S All of the companies submitting BR bids had representatives at Chap aells except the Illinois Bridge Com ?any. of Chicago. IF Y n BRIDGE NEARLY COMULETED. ne< hol Ahpproaches On Both Sides Built Steel Work Well Under Way NE --Soon Ready. HE Work on the steel bridge *at Hg rins Ferry is progressing very nicely, THE and it is expected to have the work go sufficiently advanced so that the hu bridge may be used by Saturday of fir this week. The approach on the New berry side has been completed and SOL: is said to be in first class shape. It was completed by Supervisor Wicker with the chain gang. The approach A L] on the Saluda side is also practically me( complete, but those who have seen it ho say that it is not a first class job. Mr. Arthur Werts, who lives near] LAT the r.iver on the Newberry side, gives sti it as his opinion that the Saluda ap proach will be unsafe in that the stringers in some places do not reach jWA: on the sills more than one and orwg- ho half inches. Of course it is taken te for granted that before the brid,p is Ife, accepted these details will be looked str into. It is very important to the people of Newberry and the people pUT'~ of Saluda to have this bridge in ser- the vice just as soon as possible. H< Newberry is the natural market for me a large portion of Saluda county by along the river and on account of the hu bridge being down they have not been able to get here with their cotton. LA! and, of course, that means that- a ev good deal of trade that naturally -be longs to Newberry goes elsewhere. This bridge was swept away by the WH freshet in August and it was thought w. the bridge could be replaced in two B or three weeks anid effort was directed an to the bridze rather than the build- of ing of a ferry. It has been nearly two months but every one is delight- OUI ed that the bridge will soon be in si< service. ..e City Treasurer Ready.
