Nobody in Newberry seems to have any information in regard to the decision by the treasury 4department as to the location of the postoffice building which has been authorized for this city. The people who have offered sites would like to know which one is go ing to be selected, but so far no in formation has been received. The building at Union was author ized at the same time as the one at Newberry and the site for that build ing has been selected. It is supposed that something will be done in re gard to the Newberry building very soon. A gentleman who was interested in some of the sites wrote the depart ment to find out about when the one at Newberry would be decided upon. The following letter was received in response to that inquiry: Treasury Department, Washington, April 16, 1909. Sir:-In response to your commu 1e: -n of the 14th instant. I am di reeted to inform you that the De partment hopes to be able to take up the matter of the selection of a Fed eral building site in your city within a short time. The case is now before the- Department but nothing definite can be done until the new Assistant Secretary in charge of site matters, GAMLLEY NO. EIGHT. reports for duty. Respectfully, Assistant to Supervision Architect. Just what this assistant's name! spells we can't make out. It seems that the .assistants in the treasury department have the capac ty for signing their names so that no one can read them. We have had some correspondence with this same department but have been unable to make out the signature and it is the same in this case. Officers of Calvin Crozier Chapter.

Two More for Newberry, Both Going Out from Prsperity.-Almost Net Work in County. The inicrease in thi-e inumber of rural telephone lines in Yew) -r coultv during the past few years year: ;. s been retn kabc. The coumy is be ing traversed by a net-work of wires connecting practically every section with every other section and with the outside world. A few years ago the telephone was a luxury. Today it is a necessity in even the smaller' towns and is becoming more and more a necessity in the rural districts. The people in the rural districts are real izing its value not only from a busi ness standpoint and from the stand point of convenience, but also its im portance as a protection to isolated homes. Recently two new lines have been erected from Prosperity, connecting with the South-ern Bell there. These are: Line of G. F. Stock iA.. running south-ea:t# eo n.ciag- F'.t .ck man, Gei. S. Krell, J.

Leans Won by Small Margin-Much Interest in the Game by Those Present. A great game of baseball was pull ed off at the college grounds Wed nesday afternoon, the two teams be ing selected from the business men of the city. One side was composed of those who possess an overabun dance of avoirdupois, and their op ponents 'were those who are compos ed mostly of "skin and bones," in other words, called "Fats and Leans'' respectively. The game, it was a corker from be ginning to end, both sides being equally matched. It actually see sawed, first one side in the lead and then the other, but the leans got busy and won out in the ninth, and the final score stood 13 to 12. As to the feature of the game, well the whole thing was a feature, and everyone played his best to perfect ion. Hiowever, to narrow it down to a particular one, if that becomes nec cessary, "Doe'' Monteith gets the call. lie was the star player, or come dian, on the diamond, playing short stop for the men of his side. He presided with grace and skill and got everything coming his way, says our reporter. The fats' outfield was aove .the average. P. F. Baxter, Austin, and H. B. Summer were all' stars. As to the hits and errors they. were numerous, so numerous in fact that the scorer will have to take the first rainy day off to count them up. In every sense of the word it was a great game, and one generally en joyed.I ScottHaltiwanger. Miss Julia Reed Haltiwanger,' daugtlier of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hal tiwanger, of Edgetield, was married to Mr. William Fletcher Scott, of inety Six, last Thursday afternoon, April the fifteenth, at three o 'clock t the home of her parents.

Mr. Scott is superintendant of the raded Schools of Ninety Six and is splendid young man, and he is to be congratulated on winning such a' fair and accomplished bride. Mr. and Mrs. Scott will make their' hme at Ninety Six. The trustees at a meeting yesterday ecided to send a committee to Co umbia to look at the buildings there and to confer with Supt. Dreher. The ommittee is J. H. Wicker, J. M. Davis and W. K. Sligh. The chairman Mr. F. N. Martin will also go and probably Mr. W. A. MeSwain. Toler-Angel. The editor of The Herald a-nd News has received the following invitation: Mr. and- Mrs. Linzey Coleman Angel request the pleasure of your pres ence at the marriage of their daughter, Edith Mae, to Mr. Raymond Stanley Toler on Wednesday, the fifth of May nineteen hundred and nine at eight o'clock Oros.i, California. Mr. Angel, father of the young l~dy. will be pleasantly remembered bymauv of the older citizens of Newberry. He was for many years teegraph operator and assistant agent at the Southern railway at TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. Dr. Setzler Discusses English Gram mar.-Helpful Talk by President J. H. Harms. The Newberry County Teachers' Association met at the new court house on Saturday, April 17. As announced at a previous meet ing, Dr. E. B. Setzler continued his discussion of case. He recommended outlining the functions of each case, and including these functions in the definitions of the cases, especially when teaching advanced classes. He also urged teachers to require pupils when parsing to give reason for case. Dr. Setzler prefers a dative case for reasons stated at the March meeting, but since few of the text books in general use deal with case, he thought it might be more practicable to in elude all functions under the nomina tive, possessive and objective cases. Buehler's being a representative grammar. fhe used the outlines of the uss of eases, approving some, sug gesting amendments and additions to others, giving reason for each sug gested change. Buehler's outline of the uses of the nominative case is as follows: 1. Subject of verb. 2. Attribute, complement. 3. A vocative. 4. An exclamation. 5. Nominative absolute. Dr. Setzler suggested a slight change in (1) to ''subject of finite verb.'' He showed (2) to be faulty by isin;- the following sentence as illustratit in: They believed Washing ton to be prisident. The noun presi dent, although an attribute comple ment, is objective. He preferred say ing. "case of a noun or pronoun in apposition with another nominative." After showing by illustration that nouns or pronouns used in exclamation are not always . nominative, he ad vised striking out (4). Instead of (5) he cuggested saying' "subject of absolute claus'e" thus avoidi'ng the confusion that such a sentence as this might cause: Caesar having crossed the Rubicon, his army, etc. Rubicon although in the absolute clause is not nominative, but objective. Next came the discussion of the possessive case. Dr. Setzler noted the tendency of the hypercritical to limit the possessive case to nouns or pronouns denoting living beings, but said best usage gives greater latitude. He gave the following as a definition of the possessive case: ''The possess ive case is the case of a 'noun or pro noun which modifies another noun or pronoun that means a different per son or thing, and of a word in appo-' sition with another possessive.' Buehler gives the foll'owing uses 'of the objective case: 1. A direct object.. 2. An objective complement. 3. An indirect object. 4. Object of a preposition. 3. Adverbial modifier. 6. Subject of infinitive. In (4) the meaning of 'the word object might be misleading, so Dr. Setzler advised saying, ''governed by a preposition.'' To the above six uses 'he would add "case of a noun~ or pronoun to which'-the adjectives like or near refer; as in the sen tence: The book nearest him is red. "Case of a noun or pronoun in appo sitionwith an objective'' was added as an eighth use of the case. Dr. Setzler .then recalled his proof that an attribute complement may be ob jective, saying, however, t'hat he would not mention this to the pupil, but include that use under the above, (eighth) head. He showed. a rare; us of the objective in Woe 'is me! and 0 wretched me! He said this was properly a dative functi'in. This ended Dr. Setzler 's instruct ive series' of lectures on subjects in English. Mr. Wheeler, in behalf of the association, thanked 'him. Dr. Harms, of Newberry college, gave the audience one of his charac teristic pleasing, helpful talks. He first spoke of the inspiration and of the deepened impression of the great ness of the educational cause that he had gotten from the Eleventh Educa tional Conference, which met in At lanta last week. The idea 'he gave of the purpose of. education was unique ad uniqluely expressed. He said the one purpose of education was to give the pupil a triple vision. The first part of this vision is the "'inlook'' giving the pupil knowledge of self, his possibilities, powers, etc. Here Dr. Harms gave a vivid contrast between the educated mani and the ignorant man-picturing the former as realiz ing his faculties and making them useful to himself and others; the lat ter as plodding through life, utterly unconscious of his God-given endow ments and, therefore, letting them lie omant, useful neither to himself nor to omfers. The second part of the vision is the ''outlook.'' As the destiny of every person is not to lead an iso lated life, but to make one of the movng assof humanity, he must BETTER FIRE PROTECTION. Board of Fire Masters Make Sugges tions to Council-Improvements Are Impertative. The board of fire masters held a meeting on Wednesday afternoon to consider matters pertaining to our water appliances for fire protection. It seems that Newberry does not come up to the requirements of the South Eastern Underwriters' Association in the matter of fire protection. If we are to judge by the fire which struck Newberry some two years ago and the manner in which we were able to handle it, the conclusion would be inevitable that the association is correct. It is a matter which should have the attention of the offieers in charge and everything should be done to put the town within the requirements of the most rigid rules. The fire like the one two years ago would destroy sufficient property within a very few hours to cover the additional cost of better equipment for years to come. In the matter of fire protection all American cities are very much be hind. It is stated that the loss per capita by flames in Italy is 12 eents yearly, in Germany forty-nine cents, in thirty of the largest European cities the per capita destruction is sixty-one cents and in 252 American cities the loss from fire per capita is $3.10. It would be economical and a sav ing of property to spend more money for the very best fire equipment that it is possible to secure. The following is the report to council: Newberry, S. C., April 14, 1909. To The Honorable City Council, Newberry, S. C. Gentlemen: - After considerable correspondence with the South East ern Underwriters Association, the Board of Fire Masters find the de feets. for which they make the fif teen and eighteen cent raise in the insurance rates, are based on their Inspector's report, after a practical 'examination of the present water sys tem and fire department. Their rec ommendations -if the necessary im provements are hereto attached. We, therefore, recommend that tre following recommendation of this re port be eomplied with at once, viz: Pass ordinanee regulating building constructors, industries allowed with in t he corporate limits, kind and style f flues, storage and sale of explosi es and inflammables. Copies of said ordinance are here to attached, and you can make such alterations as are necessary ,to com ply with the local requirements.. That part of the recommendations referring to the water supply will be taken up later. As to the fire department, we rec ommend ,that you put on three (3) regular full paid men, same to sleep at wagon 'house and b'e on duty day and night; and provide an approved alarm system,-as set forth in said rec ommendations, or pay each volunteer fireman one ($1.00) dollar for each alarm as well as provide a telephone at his residence. Make the wagon house fire resis tive, as set forth in said recommen dations, and provide extinguishers on wagon. We again recommend thg you change the fire horses for a heavier pair, sufficient to carry the load that we are compelled to carry, and put a new cement-floor in wagon house. Respectfully Submitted, H. B. Wells, Chief N. F. D. I. H. Hunt, - Sec. Board of Fire Masters. Kenny Sheppard escaped from the ounty chain gang yesterday morning. He was with the wagon. Mr. Ed. Wal lace phoned Sheriff Buford that he had passed near his house and the sheriff went out immediately, and Sheppard was captured near Colony church.
