MUST VOTE AGAIN. Another Election Necessary on Sew erage and Water Bonds, On Account of Technicality. n ac-oulnt of a liegll tecirelicality. IIe revce t eleviloll whl r thi e city of Ne\V i'rr od11 bollus to th( amount of $40.000 filr the extension of tie seWera-e and Water W()rks S\S' e1. must be held again before the blids Call be floatvd. It wili be recalled that the bonds Were sold to the Security cOmpany, of Spartanburg. Charles B. Wood, of Ciclago. who passes upon the va lidity of bonds for this and maay 10ther companies who. purehase bonds, says that under the law of this State. as declared by the courts, the vote on1 the bonds for the extension of the sewerage and the vote on the' bonds -for the extension of water works, should have been by separate ballot. In other words. the city wanting to expend $35,000 on jhe ex tension of the sewerage system and $5.000 on the extension of the water works system, there should have been a separate ballot on each. In the New berry election the vote was on $40,000 worth of bonds for the extension of the two systems. The same question recently arose in Gaffney. The Gaffney election was held under a special Act. however, while the Newberry election was held under the general law. The Security Investment company agrees to continue its contract for the purchase of the bonds. provided another election is held and results favorably. Another election will be ordered as soon as -the matter can be got in shape -proba.bly in Friday's or Tuesday's issues of the Newberry newspapers and the election can be held three weeks later. There is no doubt that the bonds will again be voted. and the floating of the bonds will not be de layed by the complication which 'has arisen. It is a mere technicality, but one which. in 'the opinlonl of the at t1irney who passed 'upoll the matter, is essential. This t-echnicality having arisen, e nd Newberry ' havu.g previously v)ted the bonds, it is urged that there b a full vote at the election to be ordered. The bonds were voted at the former election by an overwhelm ingZ majority. THE BOY DEMONSTRATION. Prizes Being Arranged 'Yor Them Soon to Be Announced.-A Great Work Under Gov Sei-nmept) Supervision.

Newberry county has had this demonstration wvork for two years, and it hlas ,been of great help in the improvement of agriculture in this section. 'At the beginning of this year, through tihe phlilanthlropy of cer tain capitalists in the city of New York. a fund was placed at the dis posal of the department of agricul ture for the eneouragement of tile boys of tile public schools throughout the rural districts, and seed wa.s fur nshed to the boys, and the work in the schools was done t.hrough 'the counlty superintendents of education. I a Southl Carolina there have been five c.ounties ini which this work in the rural schools was undertaken. 'One of these counties is Newberry. Inu this county, thlrough the efforts of ICounty Superintendent of Education ~J, 8, Wheeler, about onle ihdred boys iin the rural schlools have gonle into the work. anid these boys have taken very gr"at interest ini it.
