Wallace Piano Company Will Deal Exclusively in Musical Instru ments. The opening of the Wallace Piano company for the exclusive sale of pianos and other high class musical instruments adds another interprise to Newberry's industrial development. This is the first enterprist of the kind ever established in Newberry, and should receive the support and en couragement of the people of New berry and vicinity. We understand that this piano house will carry a splendid line of high grade instruments, having as its lead er the celebrated H1allet and Davis piano, which was established in Bos ton, Mass., in 1839, -being the second oldest make of piano manufactured in Amnerica. The well known instruments car ried by the Wallace Piano company will be sold at the established factory prices prevailing in New York and Boston, and Mr. Wallace says that he will offer the same liberal terms which are .extended piano purchasers by the largest and most progressive piano concerns in the larger cities of the country. Mr. R. B. Wallace in an interview with The Herald and News said: "I have faith in the future develop mzn; of Newberry and this section of the State, and believe that Newberry is large enough to support an exclu-' sive music house conducted along the lines of the most modern and progres size establishments of this kind oper ated in the larger cities. "'My prices will be as reasonable as those asked by the great music hous 's of the east for similar grades of instruments, and the same easy terms will be extended to my customers. "The selection of the line of pianos and player-pianos which I shall handle is not a matter of chance, but is based on my experience of many years in the piano business with hun dreds of different makes of pianos in many different States of the Union. From this experience I am enabled to correctly judge the merits of the great number of pianos offered the American people. "I am a firm believer in honesty in business as well as in . private lire. While there is more profit in the cheaper and more inferior class of in. struments, I shall not handle this class of goods, because they do not give permanent satisfaction. Qual [ty and the square deal shall be my motto, as I believe it is not only right but that it is the best business policy and the best foundation for any busi ness to be built upon-especially the piano business. "I do not mean by this that I shall b.andle the most expensive pianos ex clusively. I shall carry some inexpen cive instruments 'as well as the high est possible grade; but I do mean that every piano which I sell must be a first class, honestly built and de pendable instrument and every one of them will be fully guaranteed and honestly priced. "I believe in givng one hundred cents value for every dollar invested in a piano by my customers." The Wallace Piano company is lo cated in the McCaughrin building, sec ond floor, next to the Observer office, in Boyce street. Foul Work Unpopular. "Baseball makes for honesty." "I believe that.

Wright declines to ent3r the race for mayor and this leaves. only two candidates, Ex-Mayor Lang ford and Alderman Baxter. Several gintlemen have been suggested by their friends for aldermen from the various wards, but they are declining and others are being announced so that it is not definitely settled just how many candidates there will be from the various wards. There may be others to enter for the position of mayor since the announcement from Mr. Wright that he can not make the race, but the probability is that the race will be between Mr. Langford and Mr. Baxter. A commissioner of public works is to be elected this year to succeed Mr. W. F. Ewart, whose term expires. There is also election for a member of the board of trustees for the grad ed scbools to succeed Mr. W. A. Mc Swain from Ward 1.

Respectfully, IN THE FEDERAL COURT. The National Bank Case Called This Week in Extra Terni at Green ville-The Witnesses. A special term of the Federal court has been called and is in session in Greenville this week for the purpose of hearing the cases against Mr. M. A. Carlisle, former president of the Na tional Bank of Newberry, and also president and treasurer at one time of the Cold Point Granite company, lo cated in Laurens county. This case has attracted a great deal of attention throughout the State. The indictment against Mr. Carlisle was handed out about a year ago, but the case has not yet come to trial. It is alleged that some $18,000 of the funds of the National bank were misapplied to the personal use of Mr. Carlisle and about $15,000 of the funds of the bank were misapplied for the use of the Cold Point Grainte com pany. The indictment contains 162 counts and covers about 350 pages, type written. All the checks issued by Mr. Carlisle from October, 1906, to the time of his retirement from the bank, January, 1909, are, made counts in the indictment. Mr. Carlisle was pr sident of the National bank for eight years, prior to that time being one of the leading law yers at the Newberry bar. He is' now about seventy years old. It has been rumored that there will probably be other indictments along the same line but so far none have been handed out. Mr. E. F. Cochran, district attorney for South Carolina, spent several days In Newberry last week, looking into this case, and Mr. Smith, National bank examiner, was here also. Large numbers of the books and records of the bank have been shipped to Greenville and a number of the cit izens of Newberry have been summon ed as witnesses.
