'VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. Have you seen the signs of a boom in Newberry. A county offieial says the people are harder to work than the roads. Both are, sometimes. O&h! you scouts. Watch that auto mobile road grow !-Spartanburg Her ald, 2(Qth.L The acting mayor during the aib isence of the mayor this week, was ~Mr. R. B. Lominaek. Thrat was a good sketch by "X --C'onfed.'' in last issue. There should be more of such writing. Did you see it? It was in a dodger printed at The Herald and News of fre, and read, "ome quick and get t?he pick.'' Unmistakable signs of. meal pairs of goo goo eyes are observed approaching each other from opposite directions. If you are not reading after Col. Diekert you are missing a good story and lots of valmable war history that everylbody ought to know.

Conversation could be heard so much more distinctly if people would niot try to get their faces into the mouthpiece. A social meeting of the Bachelor Miaids will be held on Saturday after-' noon at 5 o'clock, with Miss Lucy~ MeCaughirin. They say he did the same thing with his tomato plants before a:nd after the late frost which followed the hail. The T. P. A. is a bright organiza tion. So is the T. P. J., only smal 1er. with headquarters at Johnson's Hardware store. Mhe afternoon hours for opening the library are changed to 4:30 to 6:30 o'.clook instead of 3:30 to 5:30 on Friday afternoon. Spartanburg is not the only town in which there appears to be live peo ple. There are evidently a few in Clinton, Newberry, Laurens and Woodruff.--Spaxtaburg Herald, 20th. When Contractor E. H. Leslie puts up that new building for Copeland Bros. on the old "Baltimore cornr," it is hoped other new buildings will follow. At the GoullDrexel wedding in New York last Tuesday two of the presents were checks for about $30, 000 eawh. That heats 30 cents, but some 30-cent brides ad grooms are just as happy if they only knew it. The familiar Grey roadster has been sold .by Capt. W. 'S. Langford to Rev. Ira. S. Caldwell. Capt. Langfolrd has bought a Ford tourabout, a swift, easy, quiet, beautiful ear. The 1elegates to the State meeting of the Travelers' Protective associa tion from the NeWberry braneh of the order are Messrs. A. C. Jones, C. E. Summer and H. W. Dominick, Messrs. E. M. Evans and E. A. Griffin are ex-officio delegates Great Sachem Otto Klettner has written a circular leLte- to the Red Men. of the State that is a gem. It sparkles with brightness and sense. The State council made a wise selec tion. Their work in this respect was "-0. K.'' At the meeting in Laure-s this week Dr. J. H. MeIntosh, of Colum bia, was elected president of the State Medical association. If a cit izen of Newberry doesn't get the head office of a State association these days a native does. Newberry fur nished him after all. The State Medical society is in good hands. Last week it was stated in a low country paper that the Georgetown farmers were crying for rain. It would 'be a pity if the tetars of the famers couldn't bring rain. The Newberry farmers didn't cry for it, but they got rains. No doubt some of them prayed for rain and felt like erying, but the Newiberry farmers ca control themselves better than the Georgetown farmers. Some time ago in speaking of Chief of Police C. W. Bishop's endeavors to keep tobacco-chewers from spit ting on the sidewalks, The Herald and News remarked that they ought to think of the ladies and expectorate in the middle of the road, if they ex peet to rate high. Now comes the News and Courier and asks: "How can men who chew tobacco expector ate as ge.ntlemen?'" A certain ma~n in the city takes great pride in his garden. Last Tues day afternoon he bought 5 cents' worth of tomato plants and set them out to his satisfaction, but just after he had arranged them so carefully the hail broke forth. They say that man ran out into the hail storm and pull ed up every one of those tomato plants. Next morning he was seen replanting the same buxnch. That's the way to have a garden. Keep off the grass on the coutlX house lawn. What is the use in hav ing it worked if everyibody is going. to cut across instead of walking in the paths 7 Paths are made to walk in, not to look at. Look at the grass on the lawn and trample not upon it. Some people will spoil a beautiful piece to save two steps. Some of these same people are trying to cut across and take a nearer path to heaven, a.way from the dtraight road, but they will miss it. T.ere was an institution of a new Flk's lodge in Columbia last night, to which the Newberry Elks were in vited, and at which the following members of the local lodge attended: C. L. Blease, F. H. Dominick, F. R. Hunter, C. G. Blease, E. A. Carlisle, . H. Evans and his big billy goat which he sent by express Tuesday morning for use in the initiation, J. J. . Brown, John Saber, J. C. Dun can, B. C. Matthews, S. B. Aull, W. S. Langford, Roibt. Norris and perhaps others. In this city there is a trained eat that would take the premium at an animal show as the most popular ember thereof. The young man who owns the cat has trained it to sit at the feet of the co~w being milked and receive a stream of milk direct from headquarters, or rather hind quarters. The stream goes straight to the cat's mouth, and while the cow looks around at that part of the transac tion along the milky way the cat gives look which seems to say, "Flow, gently, sweet Afton.'' The eat catches it "just as easy,'' and the cow ap pears to understand. If he could, th litl d!no- would laugh. 0DLLEGE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Profitable and Pleasant Session Be ing Held in Newberry-Large Attendance. (By C. J. Shealy.) After the erecutive committee of the South Carolina College Press as sociation had transaieted its business on Wednesday night, the association assembled on, Thursday morning in the Phrenakosmian literary society hall for its first session. The meet ing was called' to order by President Johnstone, and President Harms of Newberry college with a few well chosen words, in his usual happy man ne. bade the visitprs welcome to Newberry college, and assured them that the hospitality of the Newberry students is but expressing half the pleasure and joy that is felt in hav ing the press contingent in the col lege .community. President John stone eaugmented the welcome if President Harms by saying that he was sure that every student and friend of the college -heartily conmur red with him in the spirit of those remarks. The order of the program was fol lowed and' Mr. A. D. Oliphant of the University of South Carolina, a for mer president of the association, was heard upon the history of the asso ciation. The history of every move iment has its eharms, and with this in view, Mr. Oliphant, in an inter esting mann:er, gave a partial review of the influences and evidences which led up to the foundation of the as soeiation. He said that the staff of the Clemson Ohronicle took the ini tiative in establishing the organiza tion. The first meeting was held at the College for Women in 'Columbia in 1905, and that since then an active spirit had characterized the associa tion. Prof. S. J. Derrick followed with an able and instructive business-like talk upon how a magazine ought to be managed. He said that the sue cess of every magazine depends upon the management and that the man agement ought to 'be as efficient as can be secured within the limit of the student eirele. The meeting was opened for gen eral discussion, and various situa tions peculiar to the several colleges were considered. By eaeh procedure every representative was made to feel his special importance in the 'convenition; hence an' enthusiastic spirit predominated. A large delegation is in attend anee. *Representatives from every college of the association are presen.t. Tfhe sessior.s will continue today.' Death of Rev. J. D. Mahion. 'The sad news was received in Newberry yesterday morning that the Rev. J. D. Mahon had died sud denly an his home in Union on Wed nesday night. He was nearly 74 years old and was well known here (where he once residld, being the1 father of Mr. J. Percy Mahon, and of Mrs. Thos. W. 'Smith. Rev. Mr. Mahion was truly a good man and well beloved by all who knew him. Dr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Mahon and Master Mahon Smith left yesterday afternoon for Union to at tend the funeral. Small Fire. There was a small fire yesterday mornir.g a few minutes after 11 o'clock. A passing locomotive en gine dropped sparks on the roof of the eolored Methodist parsonage in Graveltown. Mr. L., W. Floyd, from his offiee at the oil mil-1, saw the blaze after it started, and sent in the alarm. In three mintues from the time the alarm was sent in the fire company was hrowing a stream on the flames. 'This -is about the quick est on, record. Mr. H. W. Dominick timed the run. Owing to the prompt ness of Mr Floyd and the readine5s of the fire department the blaze 'was put out before much damage was tone, although it was gaining head ;The Woman's Home and Foreign: Missionary societies of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer will meet ar the residence of Mrs. E.

Hose Wagon Purchased for City's E Protection-Does Newberry Ap preciate It. The Herald and News in Tuesday's issue published a statement in, re- n gard to a pureabse by the Excelsior ( Hose company, No. 1, of a hose wa- c gon which had been paid, for out of v their own funds, and called upon the v citizens to reimburse the :eompany by IK voluntary contributions and thus r show in a substantial way apprecia- o tion of what the firemen are doing v for the protection of their property. j The response has not been as full and ' prompt as was hoped, and it may be a that the citizens are waiting for some t one to call upon them for sabscrip I tions. a The Herald and News desires to re-', peat that this is a voluntary matter and the firemen do not desire that g any one shall be begged for any q contribution. This statement is made o again, and the further statement that , the subscription list is at The Herald 1 and News office, and it is hoped that , before the next issue the entire i amount will be contributed. , It should be remembered that the Newberry fire -department is purely t voluntary, and yet whenever the { alarm is given the members respond as heartily and as promptly and do as efficient work in, protecting the C property of this community as is possible to be done even by a paid deparkmenalL:e~ There is no dubt that the people s of Ne.wberry appreciate the work of, the firemen and it is hoped that it! will not be necessary to call this lit tle matter to their attention, again, but that every one will come forward and contribute something and raise this money before Monday morning. The following is the subscription' list, with the names of those who have voluntarily contributed. It was hoped that it woul'd be much Iarger, and it is certainly expected that it will be by Monday, when the com munity understands just what it is.. The wagon, as stated, cost albout $150, and has been bought by the 1 company to be used in case of fire in Newberry, and also to be used in any tournament which the company may attend. It has been paid for by the company and this effort is to reim- ' ~burse the company for the outlay and ~ to raise $150.
