'hursday Morning-Cellar Flooded. ] Streets Washed-Lightning Strikes New Court House. One of the heaviest rainfalls that Kewberry has been visited with in a long time came yesterday morning rom six to nine o 'clock. The creeks through the town were i )ut of bank and the North fork of i Scott.s creek in College street was 1 )ut of the bank and up into the negro Baptist church. The streets were wvashed considerably and the cellar of Ewart-Perrv Co.'s store was flooded but fortunately there were no goods 1n the cellar that were damagable. ' Lightning struck the new court iouse tearing off about six feet of 1 :he comb of the west side and break ng a few of the terra cotta pieces on he south and north sides of the build ng, and t'he current seems to have un down the telephone wire leading :o the telephone in Sheriff Buford 's )ffice. A portion of the window cas .ng was burned off and pieces of the ixtures of the telephone were thrown lear across the room, and the insula ion on the wires was melted and hrown against the window. Fortunately no one was in the office it the time and very little damage 1 6vas done. T-he wire leading from the window -o th-e phone which was attached to 1 Sheriff Buford's desk was torn in ialf, but no damage was done the lesk. It seems that the telephone -eople had neglected to properly ad iust the ground wire which is prob ibly the cause of the damage to the )fHce. The switchboard in the building which contains a number of fuses had L~ of the small fuses burned out and :wo of the larger ones, and the fuse in ransformer was also burned as the mrrent was off yesterday morning. The leaks as a result from the dam ige to the roof were very slight. Sheriff Buford thinks that light ing also struck the top of the jail is there was a considerable leak yes :erday morning where there had nev r been one before. FARMERS OIL MTLL.

Phillips, pastor of Neber A. R. P. church was called o the pastorate of the Chester con ~regation. For Mr. Phillips the Press and Banner has the highest regard. le is a good man who is capable, rea sonabe, and active. These qualities, prompted by zeal for the Master's anse make him eminently fit for the important position to which he has so ately been chosen.-Abbeville Press ind Banner. So far as we have learned it is not ettled t:hat Dr. Phillips is going to hester. It is to be hoped that lhe will remain with us in Newberry. He is doing a good work 'here, is an ex ellent preacher, is liked by his own songregation and the people of the ntire city. We hope lhe will remain SEWERAGE BONDS VOTED. 3y a Small Vote But Large Majority The City Decides to Extend Sewerage. The election which was held wn ['uesday was so quiet that very few )eople in Newberry knew that an lection was being held. [i fact ev ,rybody took so little interest in it hat only about 117 of the voters of :he city had registered for this elee ion. It was generally understood that it was absolutely necessary to extend >ur sewerage system and that in order :o do so the city would :have to issue :onds in order to raise the money. It is unfortunate, however, it seems :o us. that so little interest would be :aken in a matter of so much impor :ance to the city. In fact in elections )f this kind our people do not take e interest which they should. In the election on Tuesday, for in ;tance, there were only 72 votes cast. Fifty-seven of these favored the issue )f bonds and fifteen voted against the' .ssue. ;So by a small vote of the electors )f this community it has been decid d to issue $40,000 in bonds for the ixtension of the sewerage. Of course, :hat is sufficient to make the election egal but it does not show that inter st in municipal affairs !which should )e exercised by those who are so much :oncerned. 3UPERINTENDENT EDUCATION. To Provision Made for the Payment of His Salary-Question Should be Settled. At the last session of the legigla ure the senator and representatives rom Newberry county with a view, e presume of saving some expense o the ordinary county fund, and also Jn view of the fact that our school iund has a surplus, provided in the eneral salary bill that the salary of :he county superintendent of educa :ion should be paid out of the school Eund. As stated in The Herald and News ome weeks ago, this act is in plain ind direct violation of the constitu ion of 1895. The salary act of 1909 reads as to the salary 'of the county superinten dent of education of Newberry coun tv as follovws: "County superinten ent of education nine hundred dol lars annually. 'Said amount to be paid to him out of the unappropriated. public school fund of the county.'' Article II section 4 of the consti tution reads: "The salaries of the State and county school officers and ompensation of county treasurer for collecting and disbursing school mon eys shall not be paid out of the school fund but shall be otherwise provided for by the gneeral assembly.'' County Superintendent of Educa tion Wheeler drew his salary out of. the county funds as he !had been 'up to the 'date at which this general sal ary bill of 1909 became operative and in view of this act the county attor ney, Mr. Holloway, declined to pay' the salary further out of the county fund, and Mr. Wheeler knowing the provision of this act to be in conflict. with the State constitution has n6t attempted to draw !his salary from the school fund, and possibly if he did te county treasurer would withhold payment. As it setands Mr. Wheeler has been without his salary since March and. no action has been taken by anyone to arrange so that he might draw 'his alary. Unless something is done he will probably have to go without h~s, slary until the legislature can change the eneral salary law as to this of flee in Newberry county. It is not right that Mr. Wheeler should be deprived of his salary. It seems to us that if he were to make iemand on the county treasurer in ccordanee with the act of the legis ature and the county treasurer were o refuse payment, then an issueI would be j.oined and the case coul be taken to the supreme court and without mu.eh delay a decision could be had and he then could draw his ala-ry as he had formerly done. Deal-Aull. On Wednesday morning May 19th. Rev. William B. Aull and Miss Mabel Deal were married at China Grove, T. C. It was a very quiet marriage ,nd immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Aull left on the North arn train for a bridal trip of a few weeks. Rev.

The regular monthly meeting of the I Newberrv chamber of commerce was I 'held ou Tuesday evening. c The attendance was not as large and enthusiastic as it might have been C or as it should have been o a but the necessary quorum was pres s ent and the .reports of some commit- E tees showed that the body is getting on a business and working basis. - The board of governors met prior 1 i to the chamber of commerce and dis s cussed questions pertaining to the or r ganization. 1 The special committee on the C., i - C. & 0. railroad, through Chairman 1 z Wright, reported that they had been I doing some work and hoped by the t s next meeting to have some informa e tion that would be interesting to the 1 members of the chamber of commerce < - as well as to the people of the entire I community. , Mr. J. P. Shealy was elected a e member of the board of governors to I s fill a vacancy. The membership of the chamber of commerce is now only about 65 or 70 and all of the members are active and are taking an interest in the organi- ( zation. Several new members have joined recently and it is hoped in the . near future, however, to have the membership reach one hundred. . Only those who comply with the rules and by-laws governing the or ganization are retained upon its roll of membership. In other words it is the purpose of the present adminis tration to place the chamber of com merce on a business basis and to .car ry on the roll of membership only - those who are willing to be active and to cooperate in whatever may be undertaken for the advancement of the commy,n)iity. a It was decided at the meeting on Tuesday evening to see what could be done in the direction of having a banquet at which we might invite rep resentatives from other similar or ganizations in the -State, so that ou.r chamber of commerce might get in .closer touch with these organizations. It was also suggested that other prom inent citizens interested in the com mercial development of this section b e invited to this banquet. A committe composed of Messrs. M. L. Spearman, E. H. Aull, and J. - B. Mayes was appointed to take the ,matter up and to make the necessary Iarrangements and report to a subse - quent meeting to be called by the n president at whieh time arrangements for the banquet would be fixed. -There are a number of matters which would be for the up-building of -this community and which can be ma terially aided through organized ef sfort. These will have the attention of . the chamber of commeree as it has opportunity.) -4 NO DECISION YET. -. The Board of Trustees Is Still Con sidering Lots-Meet Again Next Week.

The special commit e tee which had been appointed to look e into the different sites proposed made n an elaborate report of their investi s gations. 7, Mr. F. N. Martin, the chairman of the board, states positively no agree e ment was reaehed, and that the mat , ter stands just as it has stood practi - cally from the beginning. , It is probable he says that anothber r, meeting of the board and ithe advisory r committee will be held next week.
