E. H. AULL., EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Pkrry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, June 17, 1910. 'he grand jury notes that the road inspectors have not fifed their reports as required by the act creating them. The people of Whitmire and No. 4 township will hold a meeting tomor row afternoon at Witmire to take up for discussion the matter of im proving the roads in that township. They propose to get together and build some roads themselves, and in this effort they should have the sup port and encouragement of the en tire county, and we have no doubt the supervisor will get at least one good road through this township so that the people from that section may find it easy and pleasant and convenient to come to Newberry. The grand jury presented an ex haustive report to the present term of the court which contains many valuable suggestions and which should be -read by every citizen of the county. We are pleased to know that the roads are in such good con dition. The point to which we desire to di rect particular attention is in urg ing the people to take more pride in the condition of the roads and not to depend so much upon the chaingang. We do not know of any statute re quiring the chaingang to do perma nent work, but the suggestion is a good one, and the chaingang should be put on permanent work and kept there. The people could keep their roads in very much better condition by the use of the, King log drag, which is very inexpensive and its use would take very little time. We understand, however, that there are several of these drags in different sections of the county which are not now used on the roads. Church of the .Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, pastor.) The following is the program of divine services at th,e Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sun day: 11 a. m.-Regular morning service.

It is * probable that interesting news con cerning the proposed Sunday school picnic will be given at this service. The pastor requests the members of - his class to be present. The puiblic is cordially invited t. all'the services. * Death From Pellagra. -Mrs. Mattie Adams Aldrich, daugh ter of Mr. J. Z.

He says "the field is very near white with blooms," and that he has corn which he "can safely say will make a hundred bushels per acre, un less some disaster overtakes it." His German millet promises a yield of three tons to the acre.

Some men and maids will tell their I love stories on Friday evening, June twenty-fourth, and, of course, a bach 1 elor maid's romance will be doubly intertainng as told in "Our Old Sweethearts." Watch for further announcements as to the place, etc. A Reluctant Candidate. During a local election in a Ger man town only one man appeared at the nomination desk. "Whom do you nominate?" inquired the official. "Myself," was the answer. "Do you accept the nomination?" "Well, no." "Then we must try again. Whom do you nominate?" "Myself." "You accept the nomination ?" 'No.". A subdued "Donnerwetter!" escap ed the lips of the perplexed official but he went on: "For the third time, whom do you nominate?" "Myself," carrie the invariable re ply.* "Do you accept the nomination ?" The man rose up, and a smile ol satisfaction spread over his face as he answered proudly:. "Having been three times solicited by my fellow citizens to accept the nomination, I can no longer decline to accede to their wishes." He then retired. Spirit of Young America. A teacher in a Philadelphia public school recently narrated the follow ing account of ho wan aspiring young Italian citizen was beginning to sho'w the effects of an American oaviron ment. The story, which was told a' 'a teachers' association meeting, runE something like this: Tony had been away from school about a week, and when he showed up one morning the teacher asked him where he had been. "I ran away," said Tony. "Ran away? What did you do that for?" asked the teacher. "My father was going to lick me, so I thought I'd run away," was the Sreply. The teacher by further quiestioning brought out the fact that Tony for gs4mg /trifling dereliction had' been threatened with a beating and had stayed away from home the best part of a week. "But your father has the right tc whip you," said the teacher. "Yes, he may," added Tony, "but ] was born in this country, and I don'1 want no foreigners to lick me." Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. Expensive Economy. The late Senator Platt, discussing one day in Washington an econom3 he had no faith in, said: "Such an economy reminds me oj old Smith and his keg of beer. "Smith and his wife used to drin11 a quart of beer every night befort retiring. This indulgence cost then 10 cents. But Smith came home ont day in great excitement and said: "'Here's a man with a barrel o: beer. It will only cost us 4 cents - 'quart this way. An economy of cents, Huldah." "That evening the Smiths samplet the new barrel and they found i good.- After the pitcher was finished KMrs. Smith said slowly: "George, we've saved 6 cents o: our beer tonight.' 'and 6 cents saved is 6 cents earned.' "*Vell, George,' said his wife,, 'shall we have another quart and save 12 cents?'"-Washington Star. A Complete Combination. William T. Stead, editor of the English Review of Reviews, tells the story of an Irishman who applied to one of his friends for a position as! coachman. "'You know, Pat, if I engage you I shall expect you to do things by combination. For instance, if I tell you to bring the carriage round at a given time I shall expect the horses with it and driving gloves, etc.' "'Yes, sorr,' said Pat. "He was duly engaged and gave satisfaction. One day his master came! to him telling him to look sharp and go for a doctor, as his mistress was ill. Pat was gone for a long time, and on his master grumbling at him for his delay he said: 'Sure, they'rE all here, sorr. . "'All here?' said the master. 'What do you mean?' "Didn't you tell me to do things by combination?' "What's that got to do with it?' said the master. "'Well,' said Pat, 'I've. got the doc tor, the parson and the undertaker.'" -Judge. Easy Money. Two Irishmen were in a city bank recently, waiting their turn at the cashier's window. "This reminds me of Finnegan," remarked one. "What about Finnegan?" inquired the other. " "Tis a story that Finnegan died, and when he greeted St. Peter he said, 'It's a fine job you've had here for a long time. "'Well, Finnegan,' said St. Peter, 'here we count a million years as a minute and a million dollars as a dent.' "'Ah!' said Finnegan, 'I'm needing cash. Lend me a cent.' "'Sure,' said St. Peter, 'just wait a minute.' "-Cosmopolitan. Answered by the Last Boy. The inspector was examining Stan dard I, and all the class had been' specially told beforehand by their master: '"Don't answer unless you are almost certain your answer Is correct." History was the subject. ''Now, tell me," said the inspector, "who .was the mother of our great Scottish hero, Robert Bruce?" He pointed to the top boy, then round the class. There was no an swer. Then at last the heart of th,e teacher of that class leaped with joy. The boy who was stanning at the very foot had held. up his hand. "Well, my boy," said the inspector, encouragingly, "who was she?" "Please? sir, Mrs. Bruce."'-Dun dee Advertiser. Another Way Out of It. Nobody had ever had reason to ac cuse Abel Pond of being dishonest, but he was as sharp a man in a bar gain as could be found in the county. When the building committee applied to him for a site for the.new library he was ready to sell them a desirable lot, but not at their price. "I couldn't feel .to let it go under $600," he said, with the mild obstin acy that characterized all his deal-; ings with his fellow men. "It would not be right.", "You ought to be willing to contri bute something for such an object," said the chairman of the committee. "If it's worth six hundred, why not let us have it for five hundred and call it you've given, the other hun dred?" "M'm-no, I couldn't do that," said Mr. Pond, stroking his chin, "but I tell you what I will do. You give me seven hundred for it, and I'll make out a check for a hundred and hand it over to you, so's you can head the list of subscriptions with a good' round sum and kind of wake up folks to their duty" -Youth's Companion. They Saved on His Salary. Secretary Coburn and Dave Leahy were visiting the other day, and. Leahy mentioned the ten-story sky scraper which some farmer ,was erectilig in Wichita. "Do you know, Dave" said Coburn, without batting an eye, "that until I became secretary of the State board of agriculture you never heard of a farmer having enough money t build a skyscraper. "Well," said Dave, "when I was a. youngster, over in Illinois, I worked on a section, and then got a promo-~ tion, handling baggage at a station. I was the chauffeur of a truck. I felt pretty big about it. Though I thought I was getting a good pay check. I wanted more. But the boss didn't raise me any. He always kept telling. me how poor the road was. So I just quit. And do you know that the1 next year that road built 700 miles 'of rackr?"-Ohtagn Inter Ocean. An Eye to 1,sineSs. One day a man with a case full of handbills entered a restaurant in Cincinnati run by an austure old 3erman. "Vot haf you dere?" the latter ask ,d as he observed the ian about to display several of the bills on his walls. "Railway circulars-excursion." "Oh, ho," exclaimed the proprietor, 'one of dose cheap ten day exgur sions! Go avay cheaper vot you stay at home eh?" "Exactly,"said the bill man. "Und you vant to hang dem up here?" "Certainly. You've no objection?" "I haf most clear objections," said the German decidedly. "Dake dem' ivay! Do you dake me for a fool, nan, dot I vould vant my customers, to read dose bills und den go avay ind eat at some cheap place for ten lays?"-Detroit Free Press. Slang Tabooed. The Philadelphia Telegraph says: Slang is tabooed in the home of a' WVest Philadelphia family, principally because there is a bright little girl who displays a persistent apitude in' retaining expressive but uncultured )hrases. The other evening at dinner the nother, father and daughter drifted nto the vernacular, and a fresh start was necessary. The litttle girl start d it. "I'm not stuck on this bread," ;he remarked. "Margie," said -er mother, "you want to cut that slang out." "That's a peach of a way of cor recting the child," commented the rather. "I know," replied the mother, "but [ just wanted to put her wise." Frye's Fishing Luck. Senator Frye is an enthusiastic Rsheirman. He was once the guest of a family who arranged for him ind other visitors in Eastport, Me., a picnic at a lake a few miles distant. rhe head of the family noticing that his brother, who had charge of the, vehicles, had placed a supply of fish ing paraphernalia in one of the wag Dns, asked why he had done so. "They're for Frye," was the reply. "But, man alive! There are no fish in that lake," the elder exclaim ed. "Well, Frye doesn't know it." Frye didn't. On arriving at the lake he took the fishing tackle and trudged off, to return some hours la ter very warm and very much, bit - ten by mosquitoes. "Get any bites, Frye?" he was ask ed.. "Get any bites!" was the half-In dignant reply. "Look at my face! " Philedalphia Record. His Defense. "I enjoy a quiet smoke," said .a man to a fellow passenger of a-liner. "Well," said the stranger moving' across the deck, "you will never be troubled with crowds while you smoke cigars of that brand."-Ameri ean College. MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS.
