The county pension board held its final meeting on Wednesday, the 22nd, to pass upon the pensioners from this county for the year 1911. The entire' board was presnt as follows: W. G. Peterson, chairman; a. T. C. Hunter, David Pitts, D. W. Kinard and Dr. W. G. Houseal. For this year the board has added five men to the pension roll, as fol lows: Andrew Nichols, Wade H. Setz ler, Jacob Shealy, G. M. Shealy and D. P. Ward; the last name being trans-i ferred from Anderson county. The following women were added to the roll: M. V. Day, Callie H. Can non, Martha Caroline Hentz, Malissa L. Lovelace, Elizabeth Moore, Su'san Quattlebaum and Olivia C. Stewart. During the year 1910, five men whose names were on the roll have died as follows: T. M. Smith, F. A. Boozer, J. D. Cannon, F. M. Smith, and Jonathan Werts. The following women, who were on the roll, died during the year 1910: Rebecca C. Boozer M. R. Hunter, Martha Bedenbaugh, Catherine Moon, L. M. Merchant, S. E. Henry, Nancy E. Richardson, Julia Sanders and Mary F. Stillwell. The following were transferred: Mrs. E. V. Chalmers to Greenville, and F. S. Bedenbaugh to Richland. The following was dropped: S. E. Cromer, moved to Alabama. The roll for 1910 carried 77 men, and 107 women, making a total for Newberry county for last year of 184. The roll, as made up by the pension board on Wednesday after making the additions and the transfers and the deductions, contained 77 men and 101 women, or a total on the pension roll from Newberry county for 1911 of 178. It will be seen that the roll for this year contains six less than was carried'on the roll of 1910. To Purchase Lumber. Alderman Lominack, who is chair man of the city,council committee on supplies, said at. the, meeting of city council on Tuesday night that he had been going very slow this year in pur chasing material for the town, but Superintendent Wicker, of streets, old him that the city was in great need of lumber but before purchasing he wanted to submit.the matter to city ouncil. Alderman Earhardt moved that the supply conattee be instruct d to purchase a car of lumber, which notion prevailed. Mr. Johnson's Fine Hogs. Mr. N. F. Johnson, a farmer of the Bush River section, of No. 6 town hip, believes in raising his own hog 3.nd hominy. At one killing this week le butchered four porkers from the same litter that were scarcely a year 4ld weighing, respectively, 374, 340, 324 and 490 pounds, and it should be aid that these wer e not the only ones hat have gonre into ~his 'smoke house kring this winter. The Southern Power Co. Franchise. Editor The Herald and News: I iave been waitin~g and hdping for ;omeone that is more capable, to say :omething as to tide council's action f the Southern Power company in iot allowing them to enter the town >f Newberry, but so far no one has aised a voice. I want to say that I jo not want to criticize, and what I ay is for the good of the town as I ee it. It seems to me that the action f the council was a strange one. ome of us have 'teen waiting and onging for this power to come to fewberry, belie'sing that nothing will lo Newberry as much good as this ower, arid when it comes knocking~ t our door, we say, No, you can not ome .in. Why? 1 know that the nills want it, and it the council can ive the mills such things that they vant, at no cost .to the council, it ;ees. to me that it ought to push it long. Do the mills not help New erry? Ought we not work for the rood of one another? I am told that this company prom ses to save one-third of the coal bills .oemills.- This wi be-a great sv ng to the mills. I am told by one of :he aldermen that this corapany prom ses to save the council $5,000 per rear, by selling themn power cheaper :an they cari make it. Now, is this' lot worth picking up? Do you believe :he Southern Power company cani do :his? Yes, you know that they can niake current by wVater cheaper than ve can by steam. and they can afford :o sell this powEr to t.he Newberry' Jlant at one price and let the plant sell to its consumners at another, and n this way this plant can be run ~heaper. It seems to me that the southern Power company not wanting o sell less than 100 horsepower is to ;he advantage to this power, as then ;he two companies will not come in ~ontact with each other, as the home plant will not sell as much as 100 orse power to any one person, as :h.y .annot furnish this much power. But if the Southern Power company comes then the home plant can buy as much power as it can use and sell to those that want to use less than 100 horse power. Again if the council al lows this company to come in and if there comes a time when the mills think the company 13 charging too much for their current, there is noth ing hindering them from going back to steam; they will still have their steam plants. Another strange ting is that the council will let one company come in to Newberry with a franchise, (that there is nothing to, and never has been) and when their franchise runs out, extend for another three years more, and not get a cent for this fran chise, nor does it receive any benefit from it, and then when another com pany comes with the juice, and we want it the council om.ys you cannot get it. Wh'ere was tnis company go ing to get its power? I would like to know. I hope the council will reconsider this question, and give us this power, and if not I will be glad to have some one to give their reasons why Newber ry ought not to have this power. All for Newberry; that ib wnat we should work for. Otheis towns are going ahead. Let us not lag behind, for no other reasan than there is a negro in the wood pile. Respectfully, J. H.Wicker. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor). The following is the progra m of divine services at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday: 11 a. m.-There will be the regular morning service. The pastor will preach on the subject: "Some Popular Misconceptions of Sin." Sin ii one of those great subjects that has been before the world since the tragedy in Eden. It is a problem that .no human mind can solve, hence, many of the popular ideas of sin are misconcep tions. The Bible is our only true source of informaion as to the pun ishment, growth, influence, cure, etc., of sin. 7.30 p. m.-There will be a short song service. The subject of the ser mon will be: "Gossiping With the Devil." There are two evils that have had, and are sitill having much to do with the tragedy and sin of the world, "Gossip" and "Drinsk." Some one aas said: "Women 'gossip,' and men 'go sip.' " However that may be, it is true that parleying with the devil was at the foundation of ma,n's fall, and is still a source of much evil. 4 p. m.-The Sunday' school meets. There are classes and .teachers 'for all ages. There will be good music at all the services. A cordial invitation is extended the public. News of Excelsior.

THE WAGON ORDINANCE. Alderman Summer Thinks Country: People Ought Not to be "('ramp ed."-Natter Carried Over. Alderman Summer said at the meet ing of city council on Tuesday night that notice ought to be taken of the report presented at he last meeting by Chief Bishop as to enforcement of certain ordinances. He -thought that the chief ought to hdve some instruc tions as to the enforcement of the' ordinance prohibiting wagons stand ing on the square in rront of the old court house building. Ald.:rman Sum mer was of the -opinion that a majori ty of the people of the country ex pected the present city coun,cil to re peal this ordinance as we have no! wagon yard, he said, and he thoughtl it could be managed so as to benefit the country people as ell as the town people, and not '-+ the country people feel cramped. He thought that the city ought to permit a line of wagons to stand in the side streets as long as they did not block the streets entirely. Alderman Earhardt was of the ep inion that city council wanted all of the ordinances enforced and if the present police force could not enforce the ordinances, then city council should get policemen who can. Alderman Lominack thought it was the business of council to make the country people feel at home 'when they came to town. Alderman Summer was requested if he wanted to make a motion to make it, and he said 'he did not know just how to make it. He wanted to have the ordinance so worded that horses and wood wagons and watermelon wagons and feed wagons should not stand on the square, but that the country people should have the use of this square upon which to stand their teams, and he thought that it was in juring the business of the town and the merchants to prohibit country wagois the use of 'this square, but he said that if the rest of the people could -stand it, he thought he could about as well as any of them and that if -he could not, he was not forced to remain in Newberry. Alderman Rodelsperger thopght that what Newberry needed more than anything else wie to pay as muce' for cotton and cotton seed as the oth er small town in the county, and that so long as these other small towns paid from 1-2 to one cent the pound more for cotton, and rrom 2 to 5 cents more for cotton seed, that the farm ers were going to those town to sell their produce, and that if they did, of course, they would spend some money in them. He th9ught that something along this line by the bus iness men of the community would be worth .more to Newberry than a re peal of this -particular ordi.nance. Alderman Lominack moved that the ordinance be repealed, but his motion1 received no second, and by unani mous consent the matter wenit over to 'be taken up for consideration at the next meeting of council.
