People come long distances to see the moving pictures in Newberry. This is one year when people in Newberry will be glad to see the sum mer tumble and have the fall. Mr.' George D.

The Luther league will meet at the parsonage of the Church of the Re deemer Thursday evening at 8.30. "Good news" in last issue was in tended for "good rains," but as good rains is good news let it go at that. Mr. Davis, of Florence, has come to the Newberry machine shops and gar age, James Milam having return'id to Laurens. Those interested will please not far get the competitive examination for the one vacancy in the citadel fro Newberry next Friday. Magistrate J. C.

At the Theato Monday night may be seen Alkali Ike's au-to, the funniest picture ever shown in Newberry. On Tuesday Enoch Arden. Sam Boorer, the negro who is con demned to be hanged on the 18th instant, will not be executed on that day 'because of an appeal to the su .i-nm court for a new trial. An electrical storm in No. 6 town ship Thursday afternoon at about 4 o'clock did some damage. The light ning struck the telephone wire and tore up nine posts. No. 6.is becom irg a famous place. The University of South Carolina had but ten of its normal scholarships vacant. At present every county in -the State is represented in its scholar ships by a home county man, except New-berry.

Morris's friends will be. glad to: hear of his success at Florilla. THE LAVENDER SHOIfS. Fine Pictures Affording Best of Re. creation at a Minimum of C5t1 Seeing so many people going up in to the old court house Saturday after noon the writer followed the crowd, thinking something unusual must b's doing in that popular motion pichiJre place. Mr. Lavender was having, ais usual, some fine ?.l'ts running. The writer found another reason why it is that Mr. Lavender bas such a good hold on the pumlic and why i.he conn try people are joining the t.own and the village people in fiocking to his entertainments. It is this: Iu a4di tion to three reels (some shows gor the same money give only two), Mr. Lavender had a fourth retl, that he had to send off that afternoon, one that he 'had already shown, but as some of the audience from the coun-, try had not seen it 'he reproduced it for their bene!ft.' Only 'one out of a great anny eixhibitors would take such trouible andr pains.' It is such as this, coupled with' his wel--known liberality and his will ingness to share proceeds for church and charitable w-ork, that makes Mr. Lavender take so wel.l in the moving picture business, and it is his appre ciation of the 'generosity and good feeling on the part, of the public that makes him keep his entertainments up to the first-class standard. It is a combination of excellent pictures and friendly manager that attracts the1 populace and draws the crowd. Then, it is worth while to attend a good moving picture show. It is a pleasant place to go for recreation, amusement and enjoyment. And it is the kind that benefits. There is no bad after-feeling and reaction. It is1 bright anticiptation, delightful *mein oies repeated, day after day. It varies the monotony, exp4inds the mind, bightens the intellect, aids digestion, quickens good impulses and restores the equilizrium to see such pietares in motion-ships sailing the sea -with its restless waves, trains coming and going, Indians and hunters on the beautiful plains and in the mountains and forests and valleys and by the little streams, with drama and tragedy, as well as comedy, enacted true to life. It is wonderful, remark able. For ten and five cents better entertainments are put before you each afternoon and night than you have seen by paging 75 cents and $1.00. See the picture show. Keep it Iup. Haymakers' Barbecue. Haymakers council, No. 24 1-2, of Bergell tribe, No. 24, I. 0. R. M., will give a barbecue at the residence of Mr. B. 0. Epting on Tuiesdnv Augus3t 15.
