Two Schools Enter Contest.
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.

Most of the cases are set for trial w

Several of the accused have retained pE

their innocence, while some of them bi
are likely to enter pleas of guilty. b(
Only two or three, and these negroes, fr

the others being generally men who ei
have not been heretofore accused, ev- o1

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

The A. R. P. Synod will hold its
meeting this year in Newberry begin
ning Nov. 4th. The membership of
this denomination is not ory large c
but extends through several States i
and it is expected that there will be C
from 150 to 200 delegates present at ~
this convention. They come as fir r~
North as Vir-inia and 'as far West n
as Texas. Arrangements are being t~
Imade by the members of the Newber- '
rv church for the entertainment of
tiie Synod, and committees for that ir
purpose have been named. ti
While this denomination is not '
large numerically an examination of P
their statistical reports will show that a

seems to be known of it.

1e nat Ient. who is a negT w)m:l u ,
out 60 vears old was taken to the t
Dspital for the Insane in Columbia
sterday, to be placed in charge of a
J. W. Babcock, who has recently
ade a thorough study of this dis- c
se.
Anne Schumpert, the negro woman. r
Ls been sick for about six months.
2 Friday Drs. Kibler and Houseal
ere called in to examine her for 1
nacy. Each diagnosed the case as r
lagra. She has inflammation of
e skin similar to eczema: and for
e past five or six months there has
en a gradual emaciation of her
Fdy. She has an extreme pallor, t
,om the impoverished condition of
e blood, and an extremely weaken
l nervous system, which has devel- ,
)ed into insanity. The case was im
ediately reported to Dr. Babcock. C
id, as stated, she was taken to Co
mbia yesterday.
Anne Schumpert is the wife of
Fish Dick" Schumpert, an old neg
who is well known in Newberry on
count of his staunch loyalty to the
bite people, having voted the Demo- ,
atic ticket in 1876 and continuous
since. His wife has been a very
r-e eater of corn bread, and the I
)inion is that the pellagra has been
,veloped from defective Western

After the diagnosis of Drs. Kibler
id Houseal, Dr. P. G. Ellesor and
r. W. E. Pelham, Jr., saw the case
1d they concurred in the diagnosis
the other physicians.
CITY DEMOCRACY.
itizens Meeting Called for Novem
ber 3-The City Campaign Will
Open.
Dr. 0. B. Mayer, chairman of the
ty Democracy, issues a call in this
sue for a. meeting of the citizens in
)uncil chambers on the evening of
ovember 3rd for the purpose of ar
mging a city primary for the nomi
ation of a mayor and aldermen. 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.
Mayor Langford is announced in
mis issue as a candidate for reelec
on, and, as stated, will probably
ae no opposition.
Street Paving.
A special meeting of the city coun
il will be held on Wednesday even
1g for the purpose of hearing the

ointed to investigate the cost and
ther matters connected 'with the
aving of certain streets. This spe
ial committee made a visit to Colum
a, and will make their report at
bis meeting of the council on Wed

he council will decide upon some
lar for beginning work on street
aving at this special meeting.

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.

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
