E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday,A March 5, 1909. The $12,000 authorized to be bor rowed by -the county ought to be available very soon but it is probable that it will not be befoire the firist of April. In the meantime the super visor ought to find out when he can likely get the money and make some temporary arrangement so as -to pay the claims against the county. The Civic association ought to get a definite und;erstanding wi!, the citiz -ens, the garbage cart and the .law as to when it is lawful to put trash on the streets and how often and what day it is to be gathered up and carted away. Or whether this is to be done at all. And if it is not to be earted away then it ought not to be put on the streets. - We have seen garbage put on the street and remain there until it was scattered to the winds. If every one would take an inter est in keeping.the town clean it would be an easy matter. . It is a matter of education and training and maybe by keeping ever lastingly at it in the right way we may acomplish results. Certainly no one should be discouraged. The bar and everybody having busi ness in court ought to be satisfied unless it is the poor fellow who is being sued. Personally we sympath ize with the unfortunate always, and would help him if we eould. T-hree .courts a year now for jury trials. In Newberry, however, in latter years there has not been much demand for jury trials in civil matters. DIVIDING LEXINGTON. The people in the Fork of Lexing ton on the Richland side are making efforts to take a part of Lexington in-, to Richland county, and the info-rma lion we have 'is that it will be practi eally 'unanimous with the portion that it is proposed to anliex. There is a section of Lexington county beyond Little Mountain that ought to come into Newb-erry county if the lower section is to be a part of Richland -county. We understand that the Riehland annexationists have decided upon a line about Wateree creek below Chap in and as near Saluda river as it is perimtted to come under the consti tution. This line does not include Peak's nor that section of Lexington around Hope station. We have been .told that the people at Peak's up as far as Hope's prefer to go into Rich land county. If they so prefer and it is practical ly unanimous we presume they will be -permitted to go in along with those . who are lower down in the Fork. We would be glad to see the section of the eounty from Wateree creek around Piny Woods ehurch, and as near the river as the constitutional limitation will permit come into New berry county. Most of these have their business connections in Newber .'y county, and Little Mountain, Pros perity, and Newberry are their mark et places a-nd naturally, we think, theyv should prefer coming to New berry. We hope if they so desire that some movement will be inaugu rated wich will permi,t this section to annex with Newberry. The legislature passed an act at the recent session permitting t.he tr-us tees of the Newberry school district to submit to the voters of the district the qjuestioni ot issuing $30,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of erecting addition buildings if in the judgment of the trustees such additional build ings were needed. The whole matter is left to the discretion of the trus tees as to t:he time the election shall be held and whether or not the ques tion shall b)e submitted to the people. A-styp-to-dyn.

At the request of the iEng fund colmii-s.,;ion which is compose ! of tlve county supervisor and th a: and jntendants of the towns ' sber. Helena, and Prosperity, o-: leisla-l ture passed fou,t acts :ovidi I o fundng the debt for raili -id in these tllwee twonships. The aets anthorize the S .ite zink ing fund commission to ead tha town ships the money to take up the amounts that are still due for railroad indebtedness. r The Herald and News prints a copy of one of these acts and the others are the same except that they relate to differept townships or to diferent iroads. The indebtedness in these townships is as follows: In township No. 8 for the Augusta, Edgefield, and Newberry railroad a balance of $7,200; in No. 1 township for the Augusta, Edgefield, and New berry railroad a balance of $26,000 and for the C., N. & L. railroad a balance of $2,500: in No. 9 township a balance for the C., N. & L. railroad of $2,500. These acts only authorize the com mission to bonrow t.his money from the -State sinking fund commission. The following is a copy of one of them, and as stated the others are in the same langu.age and for the same purpose: Section 1. That the commissioners of the sinking fund of this State are hereby -authorized to lend to tl. o missioners of sinking fund, town ships Numbers one, eight and. nine of Newb-erry county, out of the founds in their hands, an amount not exceed ing twenty-five hundred dollars, to be used in paying the issue by Stony Battery township, or township Num ber nine, of twenty-five hundred dol lars worth of matured bonds out standing, in and of the Columbia, Neberry and Laurens railroad. See. 2. That said loan shall be for the space of six year- payable in an nual instalments from date, and shall bear interest at a. rate not exceeding five per centum per annum, payable annually, -and foir the purpose of re paying the said loan and in lieu of the speci-al tax now levied for the pay ment of the principal and interest on the said bonds, .there is 'hereby levied a special tax of .two mills on the dol lir of all taxable property in Stony Battery townshiip, or 'twonship Num ber nine, for the said period of six vears, oin until thre said loan is paid; that the proceeds of said levy shall be paid each year until the total sum is paid, both interest and prioncapl, and the baslance of said special levy, if any remains, shalH be applied to thre road fund of 'Ihe said -township. Sec. 3. That the sueprvisor and treasurer of Newberry county aref hereby a,uthorized to execute a note to .the said ceommissioners of the sink ing fund of this State for the amount of said loan, and to pledge the said levy for the payment of same. Sec. 4. That imimediatel.y upon the approval of this Act, the said the commissioners of the sinking fund, townships N;umbers one, eight and nine of Newberry coun,ty, shall pro eure said loan from said commission ers, which shall be receipted for by the treasurer of Newberry county and forthwith applied to the payment of the said bonds. Thre tax levy in each township in order to retire the loan in six years, of course, is different. In No. 1 town ship the levy for the C., N. & L. rail road bonds -is one 'half of one mill, and& for the Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry road the levy is one and a half mills. In No. 8 township the levy is three mills and in No. '9 it is two mills. These levies are the same that have been made for a number of years for this purpose, and therefore, this plan does not increase the taxes. "Under the Greenwood Tree." The Omaha Daily Bee, Jan. 4. "'Under the Greenwood T'ree"'' glows with the glamour of real ro mance. I.t tells of love and adven ture, of the whims of a pretty y'oung woman who has wealth an pc, ition but w'hose 'heart has remained un tonhed in spite of all effor'ts of- whole regiments of suitors, and who fi;ially wanders awvay into the forest, there to meet thle prince most unexpectedly, and to fall a suddeni victim to his glance. And t.he hero is a vouing man of~ sabie m.ien anrd grave aspect, whose life is devoted to a.dmiistering his office of justice of the peace in a rur al district, and to thrusting out wan dering trespassers from his estate. And 'he, too, falls into love at a gnce. and .with a gypsy maid. who confsses thiat she is a thi-ef and the consor1t of thieves, and( the pirmised bride of a most desner'ate el 1 r:'(et er. In spite of tllis lhe wone4 hler arCh'n! and he hiastenis away to pr'epar'e for the wedditng that shall take place oni SoIe ra ,ypsies. who have been in terrupted in thler Work of looting the vanl inl vhiell tile wealtlly yoln wo nIln is temiporarily masquerading as a Roianv elal. But lie is still of the sae mind as to t4he girl when he wakes up, and so she confesses to him that she is not a thief. and that wha she told him first was only half tle truth. and in tile (1awnlIng of a beatiti fil mornilng, undor the tlrees t hey pledge anew their faith. and set aboua to travel in that cold world whieb Is the iew. In addition to this main episode. the comedy has also the affair of the handsome young lady secretary of the ealthy girl. who shows her practical sense by taking on for marriage a sap py lordin who has been declined with thanks by her employer. Sone thiev ing gypsies and the essentials, ser vants and gamekeepers complete the picture. Miss Davis works unremittingly to invest her role with the touch of real interest needed for suceess, and that she suceeeds at all is the highest pos ible tribute to her ability as a come dienne. She is pretty, has a pleasant voice, and some quaint little ways that erve hver well. She shows touches of the eternal feminine in ier love cenes and at these times fairly war rants the enthusiastic expressions of tre young squire, who pours out his passion in jerky sentences, but with a true lover's fervor. Mr. Dexter is a most capable actor, and is thoroughly natural and eon vincing as the young squire who falls in love with what lie deems to be a bhieving gypsy girl and finally learns e has won the heart of a wealthy so eietv favorite. Miss Dudley is very rood as the secretary and Mr. Van loan shows well as the Young lord. rhe others in sthe east do what is re jired of them very well.
