Burton Has Received Notice That Mrs. Cook's Lot Has Been Selected. Mr. James A. Burton. real estate agent, has received a telegram from the secretary of the treasury at Washington, that the proposition sub mitted through his agency for the lot of Mrs. Cook at the corner of Friend and College streets had been selected as a site for the new postoffice build ing at Newberry. Mr. Burton does not know just how much of that lot will be taken. In addition to the lot of Mrs. Cook, he had an option on portion of. the va cant lots of Mr. L. C. Boland and the estate of Mr. James F. Tood. It cannot be stateL, therefore, just how much. the price will be for the lot un til it is determined how much of the additional land will be necessary for the government building. This will move the postoffice just one block further from the depot than it is at present, and will be very con venient to all of the business con cerns of the city and if the town grows it must of necessity grow east ward. The Herald and New has always been of the opinion that the lot of the Methodist church in the same street and running up to collnge street was the most desirable location for the government building but it seems that this lot was not wide enough. We have not said anything about this lot for the Veason that there might be people 'Who would think that our judgment was biased on account of the provimity of the lot to the office of The Herald and News. Next to this lot we are frank to say that in our opinion the 'lot selected is the most desirable of the many lots which were offered, and will serve the best interest and convenience of more peo ple than any of the other lots. We hope 'now%v that the government will let the contract for the erection of the building at once. INTER-COLLEGIATE CONTEST. Southern Will Operate Special Train Today-Ball Game Between New berry and Clemson. The Heiaid and News on Tuesday mentioned the fact that the South ern railway will run a special train from Prosperity to Greenwood today on -account of the inter-collegiate or atorical contest to be held in Green wood tonight. This train will be a great conven ience to the people of this county and between here and Greenwood who de sire to attend the contest, and also to witness the* game of ball whieb will be played this afternoon at Green wood. It was with some difficulty that the train was secured and as it seems that Greenwood is to be the place at which t'hese contests are to be 'held from year to year in order to have a special train made one of the permanent fea tures of the occasion it is necessary that it be patronized. The special will leave Prosperity at 12:30 and Newberry at 12:40. The round trip fare from Prosperity is $2 :00 and from Newberry $1.70. The train will not leave Greenwood until after the exercises are over, at night which will probably be about twelve o'clock, thus furnishing an opportun ity for all persons from Prosperity to Greenwood to atterid the exereises and the ball game and be at home the same evenmng. The ball game this afternoon at Greenwood will be between Newberry and Clemson. Drayton Ru'?erford C'hapter. Owing to sickness in the family of the 'h'ostess, the Drayton Rutherford Chapter U. D.

He never sought political offi ce though his name was frequently mentioned in that co'nnection. During the administration of Gov. McSweeney, Col. McCarley was ap pointed an aide on his staff wit'h the title of lieut. colonel. He leaves a wife and seyeral children to mour his sudden and .untimely death. They will have the sympa'thy of the many. friends of Col. McCarley throughout Newberry county. The burial was bad at Mt. Tabor church yesterday. Several citizens of Newberry at tended the funeral yesterday. The editor of The Herald and News would have gone but it was day for publi cation and it was impossible to leave the office.

At this point it will turn and come again into Boun dary street and when t:he First Bap tist church is again reached the par ade will enter into Caldwell street and come on up to the public square where it is likely to stop and photographs will be taken of the different floats and perhaps t:he entire parade, if this is possible. It is urged that those who intend to participate in this parade make a great effort to be at the corner of Boundary and Caldwell streets on -time, that is, promptly at 5 o'clock; and it is to be hoped that everyone who can will be there and have their respective business houses or firms represented and aid in making this one of the prettiest and most attrac tive floats ever seen in this part of the country.

Mr. Friday, her pastor, conducted 'the funeral ser doces. She leaves her hadband to mourn 'her death, but no children. She was a good lady and will be miss A few bottles of near-beer would be a good thing to exshibi.t at the next Georgia State fair if there is really such a conecoction in existence.-Da rien Gazette. Just think what the drinkers of coca-cola would have 'had to stand for if Uncle Asa Ca'Jer had re.ally ost that thirty-five thousand! Anid this in 'the summer time.-Brunswick ** MONUMENT AT ARLINGTON * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * All who honor the courage and de votion of the Confederate soldier will please read: Some years ago under a generous act of the United States congress, at government expense, the remains of 265 Confederate soldiers, then scat tered throughout Arlington and the District of Columbia, were gathered and interred together in a beautiful spot now known -as the Confederate Section in Arlington cemetery, each grave myrked with a marble head stone, identifying the soldier when possible. Practically every Confed erate State is named on those slabs. Later the U. S. congress gave by unanionus vote $200,000 to care for the graves of those who died in North ern prisons. Each of these soldiers, where known, is to have a separate headstone, and the remains of the.un known, it has now been decided by the president, are to be grouped under appropriate monuments. In the center of the Confederate Section at Arlington is left a mound. There, in sight of Washington City, where for untold generations the American and the foreigner will be pilgrims, the Confederates themselves are expected to build a memorial, which will typify their love of and veneration for their dead. Soon after the reinterment at Ar lington, Confederate organizations in Washington began to move in this matter. In 1906 the United Daugh ters of -the Confederacy, in convention at Gulfport, endorsed the movement and subscribed to it. In 1907 at Norfolk the Daughters took full charge, appointing directors in the several States and an executive com mittee at Washington. All went to work. From all sources the amount received and deposited in the Ameri can Security & Trust Company -of Washington, D. C., as reported at a meeting of our cammittee, on the 5th of April, 1909, was $8,999.73, besides $4.50 on hand but not yet deposited, aggregating over nine thousand dol laij now in 'hand. To build a monument worthy of our dead and whieh will represent at Ar Ilington -the home of Lee, all the Con federate every where, we feel that we need $30,000 more. This sum can and will be subscribed by our friends at once, if they are properly solicited. Each local chapter of the Daughters is .therefore ihereby earnestly request ed to 1. Ask the local newspapers, which are always public spirited, to. print this appeal in two (or more, if dail ies) of their issues preceding the com ing local Memorial day, calling atten tion to the appeal and reinforcing it with editorials. 2. Appoint a number of earnest and efficient young lady canvassers, eaeh to be decorated, when soliciting with appropriate insignia of authority, and instruct them to ask of every one, in streets, business houses and homes, to contribute 10 cents, informing eaeh person that no more is asked, but that larger or smaller sums will not be re fused, and the canvassers must polite ly insist .on pinning upon .each one who responds a piece of white ribbon, upon which is 'printed ''Contributor to Arlington Monument.'' 3. Amounts t'hus collected, less nee essairy expenses, will be sent by check or express to Mr. Wallace Streater, treasurer, 3160 18th Street, Washing ton, D. C., who will duly acknowledge as well as publish in the ''Confeder ate Veteran'' of Nashville, .Tenn. This plan energetically carried out it is earnestly hoped will at once en able the organization to ask for de signs and bids 'to be submitted to the U. D. C. at the next convention. It will be gratifying indeed if t'he building by the Federal government of the monument it is about to erect over our unknown dead around North ern prisons, shall be promptly follow ed by - the consummation of our own plans for such a memorial at Arling ton as shall be a soutrce of pride to us and our posterity. Should every chapter of the Daugh ters-inl all the land, whether it is or is not otherwise observing Memorial day, unitedly rise to this work as we confidently expect and in the space of one day raise t'he sum necessary to complete this monument, what a glorious spectacle of love and patriot ism 'this will present.

Should Have Encouragement--Cha4ge of Boards Daily-Matinee Same .s Night Performance. Tile ninaer of Iis vaudeville says his sixth week ias been better attended so far than any week. He seems to think that his little *play' -house is going, t) prove a success in this city and as long as the crowds show their appreciation by attending he will still continue to do his very best to procure the best in vandeville and the very latest in life motion pic tures. Raymond and Hess left yesterday with good praise as a comedy sketdh team. Their work was very much ap preciated by the crowds. Silver and .Silver will hold the boards Thursday, Friday and Satur day. They come highly recommended as a versatile team and will give co plete ehange daily. Mr. Epting deserves a great deal credit for furnishing the people Newberry such a grand little place' amusement. He has been trying ever since opening to get the split week, that is, giving new faces every Mon day and Thursday and has at last sue ceeded. This -will no doubt be more pleasing to the people as it gives a complete change in vaudeville every day. There will positively be the same show at all matinees as there is at night performances.
