Dorroh, of No. township, Newberry county, who, during the 60 days he has been in office has confiscated 38 pistols found upon the persons of negroes brought before him on charges. A vigorous enforcement of the concealed weapons law would reduce the number' of honmi cides in South Carolina by probably 50 per cent. How is ,progress to be ex pected, however, when men sworn to uphold the law are among its most fre-I quent violators? There are said to be lawyers who never enter upon the trial of an important case except they have pistols in their pockets or in their bags NEAR-BEER SEIZED. Officers Adams and Blease Take Three Barrels From Man Who Was Building Saloon. An embryo near-bear saloon was al least retarded in its develc :ment anc probably killed outright on Thursday when County Constable Thos. P Adams and Magistrate's ConstablE Cannon G. Blease seized thre( barrels of near-bear from the home o: J. T. Lawson, white,' on Spearman'; Row, just outside the eastern limiti of the city. Lawson had in process o: construction a one-story frame build ing which he intended to use as near-beer saloon, according -to hi. statement to the officers of the law This building was being erected neai the house in which he lives. The matter was reported to Coun ty Constable T. P. Adams or. Monday Investigation was made, and as a re sult Messrs. Adams and Blease seize< the near-beer from Lawson's home 0] Thursday. Lawson told the officers that he hai all the necessary licenses and intend ed to open his near-beer saloon. Lawson has been living in Newberr; for some time. The three barrels of near-beer seiz ed by the officers were turned over t< the sheriff. Lawson on Thursday afternoon con tinued the erection of the house whicI he told the officers was designed as hi near-beer saloon. TO MAEE ANALYSES. Board of Health to Carry Out Progran of Inspection as to Water, Ice and -ilk. The board of health wirll look cldse ly into the 'matter of the city's sup plies of water, ice and milk, havin3 analyses 'made of 'the milk sold in th city and of the sources of supply 0 the. water from which the ice is malE The last analysis of the city's water il published in this issue of The 'Herab and News. In answer to an inquir; by The hIerald and News i wi! iitafeil at 'the Farmers' Oil mil on Wednesday tha.t .only a part' of thi water used in the manufacture .of Ici was taken from the 'city's supply -o: artesian water; the greater portiot being taken from a spring in the sontl fork of Scott's creek. in Mr. Wicker' pasture. It is' assumed'and presumed that this source of supply is pure, 'bu in line with the thoi'ough investiga tion which the board of health wil make the water supply for the Ice fac tory as well as the miilk,which is be ing sold will',be investigated and ana lyses made. The board of" health has a(Idressed to citys cduncil a communication sug gesting that council provide for the regular 'inspection of the sources 01 supply of milk sold in the city. Thle letter 1nap been forwar'ded' to council but there has been. no meeting 01 council since its receipt. Peculiar Eggs. Jack Gilliam, the barber, broughi down three of the most peculiar look ing hen eggs Wednesday numbers of Newberry people ever saw. Jack~ says they were laid by .just a common ld every day big black hen of mixed breed about two years old. His chick ens are of generaI ordinary mixture, so there' is nothing to account for the strange looking eggs. They are some hat heavier than ordinary eggs, al hough the .contents and thickness of hell are similar to all eggs, as Jack roke one in the presince of witnesses o find out. The other two are on' ex libition at Gilder & Weeks and are orth seeing as~ a curiosity in the ~gg line. The' eggs look as though tey'had had convulsions or as though hey had been squeezed while the hells were soft and the -dents and idges or notches had cord'ed and har lened. Jack says the eggs were laid ~jy the same hen as he got them from rer nest and they are fresh. Death of C. E. PowelL C. E. Powell, aged 36 years, died at he home of his father, E. P. Powell, n Home street. The remains were hipped to Newberry Wednesday morn ~ng, where the funeral and burial will e held Thursday.

This is a very im ortant meeting and 'every member of he committee is urged to attend. Jas. R. McKittrick, Vice President. WATER ANALYSIS. Required by State Law-Aso Publi. cation of Analysis- Water Sup ply Pure. It is generally understood that New berry has pure water, and we believe that it is true. Still, out of caution, at its session of 1907, the legislature passed an act "to protect and secure the purity of the water supplies of towns and cities." With that in view, it is provided in this act that an analy sis shall be made at least every three months. It not only provides for the analysis, but also provides that such analysis shall be "pu-blished at least once in a newspaper publishea in tur town or city using said wat:r, witmhil ten days after receipt tiereof." We are told that the board of health has had an analysis made of the water from time to time and it has always been found free from contamination. The analysis has been very .infre quently published so far as our recol lection goes, if published at all. The board of health this week authorizes the publication of the last analysis. It is incumbent upon the mayor and ald ermer to have the analysis made and the publication. - Of course if it is done through the board of health it would answer the same purpose, but failure to act does not lie at the door of the board of health, but the blame attaches to the mayor and aldermen and they are liable to fine or impris onment under the statute for failure to carry out the provisions of the act. The act provides that "the may or and aldermen of every city and town who shal neglect or fail to com ply with and carry out the -provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misde meanor and punished by a fine not ex _ceeding $100 or by imprisonmient not exceeding thirty days for each and every offence." We are inclined to think that somebody is liable to the penaity provided in this act. It- may be that we have overlooked the publi cation of the analysis, but it is as much a,part of the act, as the provision T requiring the analysis. . For the information of Mayor Lang Iford and his council we , quote sec Stiong1 and 4 of this act in full: Section 1. 'That eterf water Com-j pany, whether aWned' by p.rivate in dividuals or corporations or by a mu nicil>ality, shall have made, not less frequenstly thati once in every three months, at its own expense -by a chemT ist to be approved by the State board of health, a chemical ang.lysis, and Konce every three months a bacteriolo gical examination at its -own expense Iby a biologisrt to be approved -by the State board of h'ealth, of a sample of its water drawn from a faucet used for drinking purposes, packed a-nd shipped* in accordance with the in structions to be fnirnished by the sec retary of the Statg board of health, and the result of such examination shall be verified by -a statement under oath of the* chemist or biologist mnak ing the same, and -published at least 'once in a newspaper,.published in the town or -city using said water, within ten days after receipt thereof. SectIon 4. Every water company, its managing officers and directors, and the mayor and aldermen of every city~ and town who shall neglect or fail to comply with and carry out the provis-. ions of this act shall be guilty of a inisdemeanor and punished . 'by a fine not exdeeding $100 or -by imprison-! ment not exceeding thirty days for each and every offence. Marriage Licenses Popular Among Colored People. Clerk of Court Jno. C. Goggans married a colored couple at -his office Wednesday. As soon as they took out license they twent into the clerk's of-i fic~e and Bennie Cannon and Lizzie~ ~Davis, both of the county, were made! man and wife by the obliging clerk of1 the circuit court. There was one 4th of July issuing of marriage licenses by Probate Judge rank M. Schumpert to a colored couple from Kinards, Claude Kinard 1 and Inez Mathis. ti .Having obtained his marriage li cense from the probate judge, and 1 made everything else all right, James< E. Dennis, coIored, of Jacksonville,< Fla., went that same night, Wednes-'f day, and pia-rried Hattie Cannon, of t near Helena. It was a swell affair in high colored society. A big qrowd was present and some went in auto mobiles. The presnts numbered over a hundred. Thursday morning James Harp and I Pearl Pitts, both' from Kinards and t colored, obtained permission in reg- t ular form from the probate judge'sC office to marry. Henry MontLgomery and Charity 1 Boyd, colored persons of Newberry, c were ofi Wednesday made eligible for a matrimony by the judge of probate. t IAll butchers are not so frank as the one in Georgia who advertises: "Meat y market.

Muntain. to the Laurens line. _1 at Kinards, which is included in the; ea movement for the building of a per- wE manent highway from Charleston m through the upper section of the State, ha inaugurated by Secretary A. W. Mc-' liE Keand, of the Charleston chamber of pr commerce, was made this week by St Major F. WV. Higgins for the use of' -- the executive committee for the pro- EXI nosed highway. which met in Colum- in bia on Thursday. The survey by Major Higgins indi- .th caes the places that need especial at- ci tention, the bridges along the route, el t,e railroad crossings, the points ,f where the road could be relocated dE advantageously so as to avoid grade al crossings, and several places where m hills could be dug down and low places az filled, and other features of the road fa which will aid materially in formulat- tii ing plans for the intelligent working 7 of this section of the proposed high- -- way. WA: The survey was greatly facilitated -.m by the use of,Mr. Fred. H. Dominick's ax Ford touring car, driven by Mr. Wald- M rop. Major Higgins was accompanied at by Mr. E. H. Aull, who is a member of the highway central committee. BAI From Newberry to the Lexington 91 line the distance is 16.6 miles, and PI from Newberry to the Laurens line 7 the distance is 13.2 miles, making the entire distance of Newberry's section i LOs of the road, from the Lexington line hide to the Laurens line, 29.8 miles. This hi is the main highway from Newberry m via Prosperity and Little Mouitain to --- Columbia, and from Newberry via F0I Jalapa, Garys, Kinards, Goldville and Lauren. to Greenville, and is of course N one of the county's most important ---. thoroughfares, and any permhanent pgo work along any section of the road,' c from whatever source, would be of th benefit not only to the immediate .sec tion, but to the entire county. WA] For the most part the road is now g i good shape. From~ Newberry to se Kinards thtere ar.e some fine stretches' of road, and~ in some of the places FQI recently worked, bad stretches have 25 given way to an excellent road bed. er There are many holes that ought to. B e filled, and 1 ea'ly all the braiges! 6 are in bad condition, and there are -- several hills which could be graded. CAI All these points were noted by Major1y Higgins. . From Newberry to the Lexington line the mile of government road be- IF ] tween New'be.rry and Prosperity con- an tinues to~ show up to fine advantage, yc being a great object lesson in what the te< mixing of sand and clay in the proper 6-: proportions will accomplish. There . - -- are several heavy sand ~beds between WA] Newberry and Prosperity which could an be made good stretches of road byj fo: mixing the clay which is at hand with Pr the sand. Near Prosperity 'there are ag two dangerous grade crossings of the - two railroads which could easily be CAlR liminated by relocating a short Ian stretch of the road so as to change it o~f irom the right hand side to the leftf va hand side of the railroads going to- M. war(Is Prosperity. Between Prosper- - ty and Little Mountain there are two FOB angerous cro'ssings that could be Na liminated with little trouble by re- cit ocating the road for a short distance, pl' nd there is another very dangerous.-. 2rossing near Little Mountain which! BOO ould be advantageously bridged. pe Taken as a whole, the road is in pe rairly good condition, and could be A. nade, without great cost, one of the 3-]j inest roads in the country. -- The crops all along the route are LEA ooking remarkably ,.ell, considering Ta he long drought. Both above and be- ou: ow Newberry there are some fine Iani lelds of corn and some fine fields of Iani otton. Ilot It may be interesting to note that he Lexington-Newberry line crossesl A he Columbia-Greenville road just 1.6 lea niles below the depot at Little Moun an. The corporate limits of the town >f Little Mountain extend to the line phw mn the lower side, and on this side asph *ar as Tabor church, so as to include he school district.JS' saj Card of Thanks. ~har When our beloved husband and fath r lay dying from injuries inflicted by GET seing thrown from and dragged by a, Co: rightened mule, the good people of opt h community came and did what No hr could to relieve his suffering and Dr. aIm our anxiety.
