PILOT CARS OFF.
Newberry Sent Cars By Three Routes
To Meet Scout Automobiles in

Newberry s pilot cars got ()ff iin

for (ireenlwood by three separate
routes, to meet the Scout cars Ol I be
Atlanta Journal and the New York
Herald and pilot them to Newberry.
On the first page of this issue of The
Herald and News is given a short re
view of the efforts which are being
made to locate the proposed great
automobile 'highway from New York
to Atlanta and on to Florida, and the
part which Newberry is taking in
these efforts.
Dr. F. 1). Mower and Dr. W. E.
Pelbana, Jr., in Dr. Mower's car, and
Mr. W. C. Waldrop and Capt W. S.
Langford, in Mr. Langford's oar, left
at about nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Mr. E. H. Aull and Mr. Herman
Wright, driven by Mr. -W. C. Moran,
in Mr. Z. F. Wright's big White I
Steamer, left The Herald and News
office yesterday morning at 10.30 o'
clock.
Newberry's pilot cars were expected
to reach Grenwood yesterday after
noon, where they would spend the
night and meet the scout cars on their
arrival in Greenwood this morning.
A telegram from the Atlanta Journal
yesterday morning stated that the
scout cars had gotten off from At- t
lanta at 8.40, and they were expect
ed to spend last night in Elberton and
reach Greenwood some time this morn
ig
Newberry's pilot cars on their ar
rival in Qreenwood yesterday after
noon were to compare notes as to the
three 'routes and decidi, upon the
route over Which to bring the scouts
to Newberry.
The cars are expected to reach New- I
berry some time this afternoon. Of
course, roads and weather conditions
will play an important part in the!
progress of the ears, and no definite
time can be predicted for their ar
rival.
It is very much hoped that the.]
scout cars can be induced to spend 1
the night in Newberry. A reception f
will be tendered them on their ar- 1
rival here. Messages will be received
today indicating at what time they
will arive.
No movement in recent years hasp
done so much to stimulate an interest '
in good roads as this proposed auto
mobile highwa~y. The story o4f New
berry's place in the picture on the'
apital-to-capital route, is told on the<
irst page of this issue of The Herald 1
and News. The capital route seems a
to bec most generally in favor now and1
it is up to Newberry, if the capital
route is finally selected, to see to it
that Newberryv holds 'her place on this
route.

Prosperity, June 13.-Mrs. A. G.
Wise died this morning at her home
here.
For years Mrs. Wise had fought
disease and she had twice gone under
the surgeon 's knife in the hope of a
cue. She had visited many of the
noted health resorts in an effort to
secure relief and only Saturday went
to Glenn Springs. She was taken
suddenly worse and was brought home
Friday.
Mrs. Wise lived a life of unselfish
ness and devotioni to her family and
friends and was known probably to
more persons in South -Carolina. than
any other woman, as she had presided
over t.he Prosperity hotel for many
ears. No one ever appealed to her
in vain, for her heart and her
home were alike opened to all. She
was faithful as a mother, and to her
children and her church she gave her
all. She leaves a husband and eight
ehildren.
Her life was a benediction, and
many who read these line will drop a
tear to her memory. She sleeps be
nath a flower covered mound in Pros
perity cemetery.4
To the bereaved husband and fain
il The Herald and News extends its
most heartfelt sympathy in their deep
bere-avme ma irreparable loss.

That consumption can be perma
nently cured is demonsti-ated by some
figures published by Dr. A. Van Bne
den of Belgium, who says that 75.8
per cent. of the patients treated in the
Bouwrgoumont 'sanatorium in 1903-4
have continued, four years after
treatment, to improve, and are in a
condition to return to their regular
occupations.
There are in the United States 298
Sanatoria, 222 Dispensaries and 290
Associations for the treatment or
prevention of tuberculo4is, while
!there are 600,000 cases of this disese
in the country. It is estimated by i4e
United States Conservation commis
sion that this country loses annually
$1,000,000,000 from preventable tn
berculosis.
For the past three years a -persis
tent crusade has been waged against
consumption amongst post offic~e erm
ployees in France. Under these ef
forts,. the number of cases has dimin
ished 50 per cent., having been in
1906, 1,048 eases; in 1907, 808, an4.
last year the number fell to -505.
