Ware, apparently about 40 years of age, came to Newberry on tho morning South.ern passenger from Co lumbia on Monday morning, with the intention, it is said, of going to Kin ards and erecting a gm for Mr. I. H. Compton, the gin having been pur chased from the Continental Gin con pany, of Charlotte, and in less than 90 minutes after his arrival he was the guest of the city in the guard house, held under the charge of being drunk and cursing on the streets. Shortly before noon he put uD bond and was released from custody. Mr. Ware was taken in charge by Policeman H. H. Franklin. He told Policeman Franklin that the city would be in the dickens of a fix (words substituted for the sake of eliminating profanity) if he was arrested, where upon Policeman Franklin told him the I city would have to suffer, and took I him on to the lock-up. He remained In the lock-up for several hours until he furnished bond. Even after his release he was a lit tle peremptory in his talk with Police man Franklin about a pint of liquor Mr. Franklin had taken from him, and Mr. Franklin naturally threatened to loclVhim up aga)n if he repeated his conduct of the forenoon. Shot His Wife in the Hand. The "unwritten law" was applied by George Robertson, colored, on Sunday, night, when he shot his wife in the hand with a shot gun, inflicting a wound which is paonful, and which may be sufficiently serious to necessi tate the amputation of his wife's hand. The'shooting occurred in "Cannon town," on the western outskirts of the city, early SundaY night. Bessie Rob ertson, George's wife, left home to go to church, and he tecame suspicious, in view of previous occurrences, and set himself to watch. He saw his wife and another negro, GeorgA Scott. to gether, and he went hom- for his shot gun. George Scott go away and Rob ertson's wife was dodging behind a tree when he shot at the tree. Her hand evidently was exposed, and a good many of the shot took effect in the hand. George Robertson ,s a negro who! has had the respect of the white peo-1 pe of the community. He is a car penter who has been recently engagd Iin the construction of the SummerI Brothers garage in Friend street. He was arrested on Sunday night by Chief* Bishop and is now in the guard house. As a result of his respectful good conduct in the past, and the confidence reposed in him by the white people of Ithe community, sympathy seems now to be largely with him in his trouble. J. A. M[Imnagh. Mimnaugh announces his millinery opening on Thursday and Friday of Ithis week.

As to Cotton Seed. . To the Farmers' Unions-County and Locals: In our work for the price of cotton we have overlooked the- ruinous prices that have tbeen offered for cotton seed. At prices that hade prevailed we should use them for fertilizer rather than sell. I have been informed, and believe it to be reliable, that the mar ket for cotton seed oil and -by pro ducts, and the price of meal. would warrant.$28 to $30 per ton for seed. ,ake care of your seed. Pick and gin your cotton dry. Store the seed in small piles well protected from the weather and do not sell any seed till the market advances considerably. E. W. Dabbs, President S. C.

Government Invites Proposals For Complete Construction, Which Looks Like Business. It would seem that the government is at last going to take steps looking towards the erection of the postoffice building in Newberry, for which the lot at the south-east corner of Friend and Colleg'e streets was purchased many months ago. The government is now advertising for sealed proposals for the complete construction of the building, to bt received until October 11, 1911, which begins to look like business. The people of NeNwerry very much hope that the long delay is now at an end, and that the construction of the new building will soon commence. They realize that with the great num ber of similar projects which the gov ernment has- on hand, that more or less delay is inevitable, but it was only natural that they should become somewhat impatieant as a result of the v'ery long delay nere.
