Two Young Men to Traverse Capital Highway Atlanta to New York, Via Newberry. A recent issue of the Atlanta Jour nal states that two young men will start from Atlanta on Monday morn ing. July 19, for a tramp to New York, leaving from the Atlanta Jour nal office with the intention of taking the path of the Atlanta Journal and New York Herald scout cars, along the capital route, to Herald Square, New York. It is stated that they ex pect to make the rtip at the rate of about twenty-five miles a day, which will put them in New York on Sep tember 1. The route which they have chosen will bring them by Newberry, and they ought to reach Newbeirv in about eight or ten days after leaving Atlanta. Newberry will be glad to welcome them, but it is doubtful if any large. number of our citizens will go as far as Abbeville on foot to meet them and escort them to Newberry. The names of the two are Joseph Schlessinger. of New York, and Abra ham Kriger. of Atlanta. The Atlanta Journal says they will be veritable knights of the road, clad in cord urov and dust, but with one essential dif ference; they are both in very com fortable circumstances, and will have money in their pockets. The Atlanta Journal says of them: Mr. Schlesinger is 22 years old, and is a son of Adolph Schlesinger. a pro duce commission merchant of New York. He has for the past four months been visiting his married sis ter and only relative in Atlanta, Mrs. A. Reisman, at 395 East Fair street. He has been keeping in close and in terested touch with the work of the Journal and the New York Herald for the great Broadway-Whitehall highway, and has followed every movement of the hardy scout ears of those two papers. And he has decid ed upon this unique way to get back home. He will hit the Journal-Herald scouts' roads himself and try them out. Mr. Kriger is an Atlanta boy. He and the young New Yorker have formed an intimate friendship during the stay of the latter in Atlanta. is 20 years old, and lives at 126 Gar den street. Throughout their long trip these two young road-plodders expect to cover 25 miles each day. ~They will rest on Sundays. The route they will travel being almost exactly a thous and miles, they will be aetaally walk ing 40 days. Adding six Sundays, they will he altogether 46 days en route. And 46 days from July 19 is September 1, which is the date that they- expect to arrive in New York. To Carry Haversacks. They will be well prepared for the road before they leave Atlanta. On the back of each of them will be a haversack filled with provisions and cooking utensils and a cooking kit. They will b edressed in corduroy and will wear heavy shoes. They will cai v kodaks. When they can reach towns in time, they will avail them selves of hotel accommodations over-> night. When darkness finds them on the road, they will stop at ths most convenient farm house. If there be no farm house, they will stop where they are and cook their own supper and their own breakfast and sleep on the ground. Saturday morning Mr. Schlesinger and Mr. Kriger called at the Journal offie with a map of the Atlantic coast states and asked that the middle i-oad followed by the scout cars about a month ago be marked on it. This was Idone. They declare that they will Ifollow the little line of ink without devation, over hill and through val ley and across stream, all the way to New.. York, without riding a' step. T"hey are not only game to go, but they had already made every prepara tion for going w~hen they called at the Journal office, except marking the route. About a year ago Mr. Sehlesinger walked from New York to Philadel phia between suntrise and sunset. He has made other shorter walks, and knows that he can stiek by a road till he gets to the other end of it.. So does Mr. Kriger. ''We'll walk to New York!'' they declare. And t-hey both mean it. J. M. Davis Speaks at Banquet. At the meeting of the Southern Textile association in Spartanburg last week Mr. J. M. Davis, of New berry, was appointed a member of the executive committee and also made a response to the toast ''Su perintendents'' at the banquet. Mr. Davis takes the bright .,ide of the sit uation and says: ''Efficeient superin tendents are recognized more t.han ev er before as a factor in the successful management of our cotton mills.'' He also stated that the superintendents in conjunction with the entire mill management are doing great things in the physical and intellectual de veopen of the mill employees. TWO SAD DEATHS. Mrs. Emma C. Hendrix and Her Daughter, Miss Lucy, Die in the Same Hour. Two very sad deaths occurred in Newberry at the Mollohon mills on Saturday afternoon when Mrs. Em ma C. Hendrix and her daughter. Miss Lucy Hendrix, both passed away from tiis life within the same hour, after a continued .illness of typhoid fever. Mrs. Emma C. Hendrix was the widow of the late J. H. Hendrix, both of this county. She was fifty-two years old and was a consistent 'mem ber of the Methodist church. She was a good woman, held in high esteem by all who knew her. She had been ill with typhioid fever for nearly six weeks. Miss Lucy Hendrix was one of the younger daughters of Mrs. Hendrix and she had been ill with typhoid fev er for over twelve weeks. having con tracted measles while ill and thus making her trouble go doubly .hard with her. She was seventeen years old and was also a consistent mem ber of the Methodist church. She was a lovable young lady and had I many fine traits of character. She will be missed by the large number of brothers and sisters left behind, and her la.rge circle of friends and rela tives. Up to the hour in which Miss Lucy Hendrix died the mother seemed to be getting along nicely, but hearing that her daughter was dying, she col lapsed, and heart failure was the im mediate cause of her death, which took place a short while before her daughter's spirit passed away. Rev. W. C. Kelley performed the funeral rites at the grave, the burial taking place Sunday afternoon at Trinity church eight miles from town. The following children survive the mother for wihom much sympathy is expressed: Mrs. David Pitts, Mr. Jno. Hendrix, Mr. Wrn. Hendrix, Mrs. Sarah Longshore, Mrs. Mamie Wil liams, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, Mr. Lee Hendrix, and three smaller child .ren, Munroe. George and Raeheal Hendrix. MUSICAL TONIGHT.

Newberry Teams Made Excellent Showing in Union Last Week In All The Races. The result of the hand reel races at the firemen's tournament in Union last week was given in the last issue of The Herald and News. Newberry having come third in the straight hand hose reel race, and having car ried off second prize in the grab hand reel race, coming only one-fifth of a second behind Anderson, the winner, Anderson's time being 21 1-5 and Newberry's time 21 2-5. The Union Progress says of the horse hose wagon races: The hose wagon races were partici pated in by Newberry, Union, Ander son. Darlington and Columbia. The result was ais follows: Newberry, two-horse wagon. hydrant 15 1-3. to tal time 38 seconds; Union, 14 1-5 hydrant, total time 32 3-10 seconds; Anderson, two-horse wagon, hydrant. 14, total time 32 3-5 setonds; Dar lington. hydrant, 15 3-5, total time 0. Ruled out on account of blow-off at hydrant: Columbia in dispute as to whether there was a blow-off at noz zle. Upon this question hangs the -que3oi: as to whether Un:oi or Co lm>in vis~ first prim An'erson comes second. if Columbia is rule out, and third if Columbia is allowed to score. After considerable wrangling., the first prize of $200 was given to Union and the second prize of $150 was awarded Anderson. The nozzle judge stood firm in his contention that Co lumbia should have a goose egg on account of having blown off at nozzle. The run- of Columbia, however, was considered one of the best in tie races. In the foot races first prize was won by Mr. Chris Habenicht, of Co lumbia, and second prize by Mr. Jas. A. Burton, Jr., of Newberry. For the short time in which they 'had been organized, Newberry's teams made an excellent showing.at Union, and they expect to carry off the first prizes at the Sumter tournament next year. Sumter having been chosen as the place of next meeting. COMPARING THE FIGURES. Chief AdAms Gets Up Data Giving Arrests For Three Months 1905 and 1909. The chief of police, Mr. J. C. Adams, was requested by a citizen to get up some data giving comparative statements -of arrests made during some periods while the dispehsary was in operation in Newberry and when it was not in operation. It was suggested that he take the three first months, January, February, and March of the year 1905 when the dispensary was in operation and the same three months of 1903 when there was no dispensary. Mr. Adams, of course, was not fa miliar with these three months in either year and 'simply took up t.he books and as a result of his e?amina tion he found that during the three mionths named in 1905 171 arrests were made. Of these 40 are put down as being for drunks. In 1909 for the same three months there were 57 ar rests made and four were put down as being for drunks.. Death of Mrs. Bowers.
