t mnad and FM E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday. October 30. 1908. SILVER STREET. Silver Street is located seven mile! west of Newberry on the Columbil and Greenville division of the South ern railway. For many years, and in fact, until recently, it was a flac station with only one small stor( which was run mainly for the plan tation of the owner. Recently new life and energy ani faith in the place have been put ir action and now it is a centre of trad( and commercial activity. The South ern has erected a nice passenger and freight depot and has a regulam agency with a telegraph office. With a fine farming section tribu tory to Sliver Street there is nc reason why it should not be a good trading place. The young men who are in businesc there are active and energetic and have faith in their town and are showing their faith by their works. Arrangements will be made to buy cotton and this will bring trade. The Herald and News in this issue presents a brief resume of the busi ness enterprises of the young towr and of the merchants. There is al ready a good school.- This is a com munity in which should je establish ed one of th-e high schools provided by the legislature. N A Lutheran congregation has been organized and a handsome church building will be erected soon. The Herald and News extends its best wishes to Silver .Street and will take an interest in its development and growth. Concert of action and singleness oi purpose will acvomplish results. GUESSING THE RESULT. The election for president of th( United States, and in this for Stat( officers, will be held next Tuesday. Of course, so far as the State elec tion is concerned it is merely a for mal mat-ter as the selections wer< made in the primary. It is very im portant, however, that a full Demo cratic vote should be polled. The Re publicans in congress use as an argu ment for cutting down our represen tation the small vote which is usuall; polled in the general election. Be sides .that it is important that w should give Mr. Bryan as large popular vote as possible, and in mak ing up the total the vote of Soutl Carolina will be counted. It is. hop ed, therefore, that every Democra will take the time. and the trouble t< go to the polls next Tuesday and cas his ballot. The New York Herald has beel printing estimates of the result fo president and about two weeks ag< The Herald and News presented ai estimate of the New York Herald. J new estimate was printed on the 26tl of this month. In order that thosi -who desire to make calculations an< guess at results may gratify tha we print the last estimat< made up by the New Yor1 Herald. The Herald we believi claims to be independe'nt but'This yeal 'has decided Republican leanings. It will be seen that the Herald's estimate gives Mr. Taft 280 votel which are 38 more than are neces sary. It takes 242 votes to elect president. If New York should be carried by the Democrats then un der this estimate the Republicans would lack one of a majority. The Herald gives the Democrati< party only 156 votes. The Democrat! claim Indiana. Kentucky, end Ne braska as certain but those withou New York would not give Democrati< victory. It seems that all of the es. timates which are made place Nev York in the position of holding the balance of power, and either party t< win must carry New York. The bat tle is being waged in that State thi: week. Some people claim that Mr. Bry an will have a landslide, so t< speak. in the west. If he should, o: cours'e, his election is assured ever if he loses New York. But we givi you the Herald 's estimate and le you figure out the result to suit your self.

A great many Newberry people would like to attend the Synod at Prosperity and also the Synod at Newberrv. - Both of these conventions, how -ever, have the honor of holding their a sessions in handsome new churches. -The Lutherans at Prosperity have just completed a very handsome - church edifiee and the A. R. P. at - Newberry have also a very handsome - new church building. The Herald i and News on Tuesday will print cuts - of these two buildings together with a cuts of the pastors who are serving a them. I TWELVE PAGES. t The Herald and News today prints twelve pages.

We are glad to be connected with a part of the outside world. The Woodman of the World went to St. John's cemetery and in order unveiled a nice large monument at the grave of Mr. J. W. P. Summer who died in April of this year. The exercises were carried out very beau tifully and it was a very touching scene to see the bereaved brethren as semble at the grave of their only dead brother. The tomb was carved by Mr. Counts at Prosperity and was erected by the W. 0. W. 's. It is about five feet high and a very pret ty rock. The order is progressing zieely and will initiate about sixteen new and successful members now shortly. Little Mountain has a very strong camp, too, which took an ac tive part in the unveiling of the' monument.
