Miss Flornee Davis, th'e popu.lar comedienne, who will undertake her first conquest of a Kansas City aud ience nex~t week at the Willis Wood theatre in "Under the Greenwood Tree,'' has. shown marked versatility off 'the stage as well as on, by writing a number of poems, some of which have received piraise from reviewers of current literature, and recently a publishing house in New York has is sued a volume of her works entitled "A Little Book of Verse,'' which contains so:ne very charming bits of rhyme. The public is generally interested in the accomplishments of footlight favorites ou'tsille the talents required in their profession, for suc:h attai-n men'ts are apt to denote wider intelli ;'gence in their acting.. Joseph Jeffer son painted a number of splendid pie -tures in oils, Richa'rd M.ansfield was 'talented not only as a;n actor, but a! - so as a painter .and a composer, and the varied accomplishments of Mine. Nazimova .have been recently review 'ed. Of the book by Florence Davis recently publishied, the New Orleans Item says: "Miss Davis confines her self to a simple strain, but theire is a 'delightfdl lilt to her verse, genuine melkay is reveared, and she never sings unless tihere is a song in her The contents of the- little volume are of a character summed up in the preface, which is also written in' rhyme: The moods of my mind Both playful and wild Oft seem in their changes Astray as a child. But whatever the mood, Or 'whenever the time, Each comes as it wills And it comes in 'rhyme. -Kansas City JournaL COLE BPPS CONrESSES. That He Was In Mr. White's Store But Walked Out-He Awaits Trial. In Tuesday's Herald and News mention was made of the capture of Will Haigleir fo.r yreaking in th3 store of Mr. J. L. Burns, and it was also mentioned that he told the offi ears tbat there was a ne,-,o in Mr. J. W.- White's store, and he was per mitted to climb the magnolia tree near Mr. White's store from which he entered the window, and then made his escape by jumping upon the roof of the dwelling. It was tihought at that time that the negro who was in Mr. White's sto-re had also jumped and made his escape. Policeman Austin and Mr. I. 0. Burton on Monday afternoon procur ed a warrant for Cole Epps, the negro whom Haigler said was in Mr White's store. Epps was arrested Monday af ternoon on Bogg Williams' place about six miles west of Newberry and confessed to the officers that 'he was in Mr. White's store at the time, but saiys that he did not Jump out of the window, but that after Haigler had escaped in this way he came down stairs unlocked the -door and walked out and* went on home. He is now in jail awaiting trial At tihe sessions court. AN IMPORTANT LAW. All School Claims Against School Fund Must be Approved by Poun ty Superintendent of Ed ucation. Representative Kibler 'had a. bill .passed by the legislature at its re cent session that is of State wide in terest and of importance. In many counties there are special school dis tricts which get their portion of the common school fund but which make no report to the county superintend ent of education or have him to ap prove claims. Under this act alil war irants issued by any board of trustees shall be -approved by county superin tendents of education. There are some of these districts in Newberry. The following is a copy of the act: "See. 1. That a.ny and all school warrants issued by any board of school trustees against any public school fund shall not be paid by the county treasurer, or other officer hav ing the -eustody of such fund, urntil t,he warrant 'has been approved by the county superintendent of education of the county in which said warrant is drawn.'' HOLDING or COURTS. The Amendment Suggested by. the Bar Adopted-Three Jury Com mon Pleas Courts a Year. The act fixing the times for holding the courts of the eighth circuit, so far as it relates to Newbery county, was amended to cenform to the re quest :of the Newberry Bar a.ssocia~ tion. This amended act was published int The Herald and News two weeks ago. Under the act of 1908 there was some question as to whether there could be any eivil business requ.iring a jury at -the May- term of the common pleas court and the amendment was mainly to clear up that doubt. The Bar also requested that the Act be furt'her amended so that a cour.t of common pleas for jury trials could be held in December, and this was done. -As amended the time for holding eonrt in this county is as follows: Sessions Court-Third Monday in Mrce; second Monday in June; th-ird Monday in November. Common Pleas Court-Second Mon dav, in May; second Monday i>n Sep tember: Tuesday after the first Mon cay in December. The court of common pleas to be onen at all terms of the sessions court for the purpose of rendering judg ments by default and for the trial of euch equity eases as may be ready for hearing. and for granting orders of reference and other orders in civil cases.

It will be gratifying, .however, to the Methodist peopl-e of this city and this State, as well as to a large cir cle of friends in otiher churches, that Dr. Wolling will not leave Newberry fo.r the .present at least, and it is to be hoped he will long continue his connection with the old South Caro lina Conference.

Some of the Changes Made by the Legislature as to Newberry County. Below we give the supply bill so far as it rela,tes to Newberry county. It will be seen that it provides for a loan of $20.000 and in addition to this a special act was passed authorizing t.he sinking fund commission to lend to Newberry $20,000 to be paid back at the end of this year, and pledging the taxes for 1909. In additon to the three and a half mills and the half mill mentioned in the supply bill a one mill levy goes with the special road bill which was printed in The Herald and News sometime ago. "Newberry County-Far the coun ty of Newbery for ordinary county purposes, three and one-half (3 1-2) mills, one-half (1-2) of one mill to pay on past indebtedness, and to be used exclusively for such purpose. The county supervisor is hereby au thorized and -empowered to borrow from the sinking fund commission, for current expenses a sum not exceed ing twenty thousand dollars, at a rate of interest nOL greater t!han five per cent. per annum, but in the event the said amount cannot be obtained from the sinking fund commission, then the said -county supervisor is hereby auth orized and empowered to borrow from any other source an -amount not ex ceeding twenty thouspnd dollars -at a rate of interest not exceeding six per cent. per annum. For t,he payment of said loan, the ordinary county taxes for the year 1909 shall be pledged up on the note and notes of the county supervisor and county tyrea'surer." The delegation provides for the ap pointment of 'eleven magistrates, the one at Newberry to receive a salary of $350, Prosperity $200, Little Moun tam $60.00, townships Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10 $50 each. In No. 4 $125, No. 7 $60.00, and No. 11 $60. Each magis trate has a constable with the same salary except in No. 1 where the con stable gets $400. The constables also are to get five cents per mile for each mile actually travelled in the erecu tion of papers. In the matter of the county officers salaries the following is the pro vision. It will. be seen that the salary of the superintendent of edaeation is increased from $800 to $900 and that it is to be paid from the school fund. The salary of the coun.ty commission ers has been incereased from $75 to $100 and the attorney and clerk from $250 to $350:. "Newberry County-Sheriff, four teen hundred dollars annually; clerk of court, t>wo hundred and seventy five dollars aniually; county commis sioners, one hundred dollars, each, an nuallv; -and the county board of comn missioners shell elect an attorney, who shall a.lso be their clerk, a.t a sal la.rv of three hundred and fifty dol lars annually: county superintendent of education, nine hundred dollars an nuailly. said amount .to be paid to him on-t of the u.napperiPionedi public shool fund of the counfv; county sunervisor, one tbyusan~d dollars an nu.aliv: coroner, two hundred and fif tv dollars -annually. All of the sal arie's herein -pro'vided for shall be paid monthly." A separate act was also passed ati thorizing the borrowing of $20,000. That act is as follows: "That the comm:issioners of the sinking fund be, and they are hereby authorized to lend to Newberry coun ty a sum noteexceedi.ng twant:y t,hous and dollars ($20,000), at a rate of in-' terest not exceeding five per cent. per annum, to be .repaid within one year, principal and interest, said loan to be made upon the note or notes of the county treasurer and county super visor of said county, pledging tehe or dinary county levy of 1909, to secure the p)aymen-t of the principal and in terest of such note and notes.'
