I Blaustein Alleges Copelaud Violated Contract-Asks $5,000 in Dam ages. Attorneys representing I. L. Blaus ztein will move be fore Judge Thos. S. Sease, at Abbeville, on Monday, for. an injunction to restrain E. B. Cope land "from carrying on, being con cerned in or interested in, either alone: c1 with any other person," etc., in the town of Newberry, "in the business of handling, dealing in and selling shoes; and gents' furnishings" or any other business that may be in violation of* the alleged contract set out in the complaint which has been served on Mr. Cop.eland. In January, 1910, Mr. Blaustein: bought out the business of Copeland Brothers, who were doing a large dry goods and clothing business, and the; contract alleged, and which is attach ed to the complaint, contains the pro ypsion that Copeland Brothers "bind themselves for the space of five years, from the tenth day of January, 1910," that they will not' carry on or be in terested in the same kind of business in Newberry; it b-eing provided, how ever, that they might engage in the business of shoes, exclusively, or in the business of gents' furnishings, ex clusively, and the agreement being contingent upon Blaustein continuing in business in Newberry. The complaint alleges that on De cember 18, 1911, E. B. Copeland be-' came engaged in and has .been con tinuously since that time engaged in the same kind of business as that car ried on by Copeland Brpthers, prior to Blaustein's purchase, dealing in and handling a.nd selling shoes, g-ents' fur nishings and other articles of mer chandise, and the complaint alleges that thereby the defendant has violat ed and is violating the agreement, and the plaintiff asks for an injunction and for dam'ages in the sum of five thous and dollars. The plaintiff alleges tha+. on February 12 he addressed a comn munication to Copeland calling atten tion to the contract and demanding that he live up to it, and d-emanded reparation for damages done to plain tiff, and demanded that Copeland ac cede to the demands by a certain time, but that Copeland has made no reply.'

The chihrn of the first and second grades furnished the muCic. About one hundred and twenty of them took c t. r. Otto Klettner introduced the speaker, Dr. A. J. Bowers, of New berry college. His introductory re i_ rks were v.ry fitting and appro priate to the occasion. Dr. Bowers' address to the school children and to the citizens and school patrons was very pleasing and happy. He dwelt on the greatness of Wash ington and on those things that made him great, and emphasized the need of emulating those things which make for character building. He spoke in such a plain and direct manner that the smallest children caught a new vision of what it is to be great and honorable and useful. The little children did their parts splendidly, and their training reflects great crfit on' tha teachers of the primary grades. The children had but a few rehearsals, but they were lit tle masters of the situation. The program as rendered follows: Youth's Army-School children. Prayer-Rev. Edw. Fulenwider.

Split L.og Drags Are Being Used And Are Proving Great For Road Improvement. 'Squire Cauley, of Oaklawn town ship of the Fork Shoals section, was in the city Monday and in speaking of the split log drag stated that great work was being accomplished by the drag in the Fork Shoals section. He stated that the drag is proving an effii. cient as well as economical device for the improvement of the roads. Greenville Piedmont, 20th. And it is quite common in Newberry county to use this means of improving the roads and getting fin.: results. The latest to report i3 Mr. Y. T. Dickert, rural carrier ';o. 7 route, who says that those having done good work on the roads along his rounds with the log drags and without which work some of the roads would now be im passable, are Messrs. J. F. Hawkins, Eugene Buzhardt, J. T. Summer, Al bert Schumpert, and B. P. Hawkins. Mr. Dickert says that Mr. James W. Cromer has promised to drag as soon as the weather permits. Basketball Monday Night. Carolina's basketball team will play against Newberry in the college gym nasium on Monday night. Newberry's manager has found it almost impossi ble to make connections with the Caro lina manager, this game having been postponed several times. However, the game on Monday night is positive ly assured. Newberry succeeded in winning from the university in the ame played at Columbia, but only by a very narrow margin. Since that ime both teams have improved won erfully, and a good and close contest is imient. The gam'e will begin earlier than usual so that the Carolina ten can return the same night. It is loped that the tubBc in general, as well as the many basketball enthus iasts will come out to see what will, in all probability, be the last game of the season. The boys have lost but ne game in the state and they de serve the support and commendation f alb Newberrianis Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor). Nothing preventing, there will be regular services at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday, s follows:' 11 a. m.-The regular morning ser vice with a sermon by the pastor on the subject: "A Man's Style."

The~ public is cordially invited to all HIGH WINDS. Hard Blow on Wednesday Night Brought Recurrence of the Cold i:igh winds in N3wberry on Wednes day night followed a heavy rain on Wednesday. The winds blew practi cally all Wednesday night, causing many to los-e a good part of a night's sleep. The clouds were driven away and the temperature dropped, and on Thursday morning it was cold again. The high winds, starting their vio lent activities with a disastrous visita tion to Shre:eport, La., Tuesday, on W:dnesday continued their sweep over the Southwest and came on to the Atlantic, demoralizing telegraphic service in nearly all sections of the country. The cimax of their velocity on the Atlantic coast was reach-ed at Pensacola, Fla., where the gale at tained a 60-mile an hour gain. At Aus tin and San Antonia, Texas, consider 'able damage was reported, while the entire State of Texas felt the force of the winds. The worst Norther of the winter was reported at Houston, which suffered the double calamities of bitter cold and sweeping flames. Thousands of dollars worth of prop erty was destroyed in the vicinity of Meridian, Miss. The winds brought in their track a recurrence of winter's cold, which ad Ided to the suffering. The storm reached this State some what diminished in intensity, but its force was sufficient seriously to ham per wire service. One fatality, the death of Julia Wat son, a small girl, was reported from Greenville. In the Middle West the same condi tions of clogged communication were found, with the additional handicap of blinding snowstorms. As a result, there were a number of railroad acci dents, and many people were iniured. To Make Their Home in Columbia. Mrs. R. B. Wallace and children left Thursday for Columbia to make their home with Mr. Wallace, who is too busy selling pianos to live in Newber ry or anywhere else for the present. They were accompanied to Columbia by Mrs. Wallace's viother. Mrs. Win. Johnson, who will spend a while 'with them. Began Wednesday. The Lenten season began early this' year. It is becoming more generally known that "in ancient times ashes were sprinkled upon the heads of pe'n itents as a token of their mortality and a sign that they deserved to be burnt to ashes. Hence the name Ash Wednesday. It was a day of great hu miliation." "The Christian Lent probably takes' its rise from the Jewish preparation for the yearly expiation. The JTews began their humiliation forty days be fore the expiation; wherefore the primitive Christianz, following this exan'ple set up this fast at the begin ning of Christianity as a proper pre paration for commemorating the great expiation of the sins of the whole world." "The church begins her Lent so that there may be forty days before Easter exclusive of the Sundays; for they being festivals in honor of our Saviour's resurrection are never days of fasting and so Lent is properly ~ called the fast gf forty days."
