What an irony it would be on the use of the pardoning power if it really j turn-ed out that "Portland Ned" is j the perpetrator of the latest series of safe robberies!?Columbia Record. It is very hard for a man to reform. The only suspicion that exists for connecting "Portland Ned" with these robberies is that he has been convict- j ed and was paroled. The- policy of the law has been reversed. Every man is presumed guilty and must; prove his innocence. "Portland Ned" may be guilty but surely we- should be willing to give him a* chance. We suspect it is the j governor these newspapers are after rather than "Portland Ned." Want to prove what a mistake the governor made. ? ! The Herald and News says that j Newberry needs thirty thousand en- I ergetie, hustling citizens. The trou- I ble is, is Newberry the place these kind of Deople want to go to??Green wood Journal. The Herald and News did not say that Newberry needed thirty thousand citizens though it would be a j mighty good plac-e for them. What; The Harald and News undertook to say was, that it would be glad to see the citizens who now live here get busy and work together for the advancement of the community. As to the question by the Journal, +hprp no better dace for people to. come than Newberry, and if we could get the Journal man to come down and spend a day or two with us, we are Satisfied that be would wonder why he had not tried to become a citizen of Newberry himself. J ? The trustees of the Newberry school district, by authority of an act of last general assembly, order an election on the question of voting a one mill tax for the improvement of the Boundary strf,-et school building. tl is true that it has only been a very short time since the people of this district were called upon to vote additional tax for the purpose of enlarging the school facilities of the district, but +hat aoney has been expended in purchasing new buildings. 1 1 JL 110 ilCtitillg pidiil auu Li-?c ot; v? plant of the Boundary street school is such that it is absolutely necessary that the improvements contemplated "be made. If anyone doubts this, all that is necessary, is for him to make a visit to the Boundary street school flVir* see the conditions there. In fact, if the board of health would do its duty, it seems to us that it would be forced to condemn the Boundary street school unless the improvements contemplated by the board are made. It will not be necessary to have this tax for more than two or three years in order to make the improvements that are needed. We hope that the people of the district will vote the tax, and certainly, anyone before he ! I opposes it should visit the Boundary street school and see for himself the conditions as they are. i Negroes have been riding in Pull-1 man cars on inter-State tickets for j a long time. Wonder if Mr. Richards just found it out. The place to adjust the matter is by an act of congif>ss. The company could not refuse) them without being liable for damag-1 es. Suppose we get after congress. ' I 4 u\i new ted free wl "The Area I After the rains will be fine time to use the split log drag on the roads.

Of course, every one is proud of it. You see, I have been permitted to 6ee the thing develop from a little old wooden building, with a hole in the wall for you to receive the mail, to the present handsome structure. That old woden building stood where is now fraternity hall, and that was way back during the war when Sol Kinard was postmaster. * Q And, by George, that is a fine lookin or etrppf in ffrvnt of thp new nost office building. That magnificent ditch to one side, and the mound of stone on the other, and then the sand spreading oi.t like a great valley along the street that leads alongside the Methodist lot, all give the surroundings such a rustic appearance. I can. scarcely understand how such a fine suggestion of rusticity could have been conceived. And then, the little rises and falls in the street up fn-tt'arrio. the Summer P'flraS'P ffivft the street such a beautiful insinuation of: the ruggedness of the hills of Western North Carolina, that one almost feels that he is in this most beautiful and picturesque section of America as he glides along the street or the sidewalk that surround the new postoffice building. And then, too, let me tell you that street that leads from the new home of Mayor Wright and by the postoffice and the new court house, is not to be despised when it I comes to ruggedness and suggestions J of mountain scenes, for it has the ditches and the insinuation of hills and valleys and running streams and rippling brooks, all suggestive of the beautiful wild scenery of the mountains. Ah, we are getting back to nature. Let us all take up nature study agaifi. There Is plenty of opportunity right here in the city of Newberry. All varieties of weeds and grasses and wild flowers may be seen on all sides just by strolling around a little. !_J_ J.1 4. il. ^ 4-/-. max remmus me mat uiuse suc-ls I suggested some time ago might do good and efficient service before commencement comes again. I have not seen any street force at work in a long time, and I presume that the idea is to let the flowers and the grass and the other wild v-egetation and wild animals grow so as to give better opportunity for nature study. I think I read in one of the papers where a teacher in the rural schools had<a nature study class, and that she had been gathering up tadpoles and watching them develop into frogs. I aon r know, dul i wouian i de surprised if you could find some tadpoles in one or the other forks of Scot':'s creek, o? Talking about nature study, I read th-e following in a Spartanburg paper the other day: Here is the way a man who loves cnnaren ana ine great open country expresses it:. "I had rather leave behind me, when I leave this world, a beautpul park in the heart of a city in which the little children, for all time to come, could romp and play than have any monument that could be built of marble or stone." I have tried for several years tc xen tne people or isewDerry tnai same thing. Since I began the agitation of a park the little towns of Spartaniburg and Greenville and Columbia have been talking about a park. Newberry has a fine opportunity to build a park, and the opportunity is still knocking at her door. It would take very little money comparatively. United effort is all we need. T wish I could make the civic association see the importance of it and the ease with which it could be attained if they would only determine to do it. That is the important thing in any movement?determine to do it?and it is berry D hen accompanie de Airdome." 1 I done. Speech making and hot air won't build it. Bur what's the use, we are satisfied with our noble selves. The Idler. THT PACIFIC ENTERS PANAMA. | ? ? Glint Blast of Dynamite Lets Waters Into CanaL Panama, May 18.?The waters of the Pacific ocean were today let into the Panama Carnal. A giant blast, composed of 32,750 pounds of dynamite, was shot, demolishing the dike to the south of the Miraflores locks, and allowing the water to flow' into an extensive section in which excavations have practicklly been completed. The blast was successful in every way, and the vibration was felt in Pannmn f!itv as thoueh there had I been a slight earthquake. EDGEFIELD COOTY MAX KILLED. Price Ripley May Fare Been Shot in Scuffle with lVoman fojr Gun. Rrie-pfipld. Mav 19.?According to reports received here today, Price j Ripley, a white man, was shot and j instantly killed near Trenton yesterday afternoon. It is claimed the tra- 1 gedy was due to the accidental dis-1 charge of a shotgun in the hands of j Miss Bessie Davis. There was no eye- ' witness to the shooting. Miss Davis, I it is said, has been hiding out since j the tragedy. Price Ripley lived in the oJhnston j section of the county, ^hile Ihe woman j claimed Edgefield as her home, hav- j ing recently worked in the cotton mm i here. An inquest was held'this morning, and from the meagre testimony obtainable it seems that the parties were in a house together and became involved in a quarrel, and that one of them seized z. gun nearby, and in a scuffle for its possession it was dis- j charged, the emtire load taking effect in the breast of the deceased. The) jury held Mfan Davis as bein? responsible for Ripley's deatn, ana Sheriff Swearipgen went this morning to arrest her, but she escaped him .It is the general belief that as sood as States with a contribution of $8,225. will sur-ender voluntaril. BAPTIST WOMEN RAISE $34,877. Alabama Lead!} in Jndson Mission Offering with $8,225. St. Louis, May 18.?The raising of 877 fnr thp .Tndson mission of fering was the climax of the day's proceedings of the Southern Baptist convention. The mon-ey was raised by the Woman's Missionary Union at a mass meeting at which only women j were present. Alabama led all the States with a contribution of 8,225. During the services a large number of young women dressed in the costumes of all the foreign countries in which the Southern Baptists have missionaries marched into the auditorium singing Gospel songs and bearing the flags of the nations represented. More than 400 sermons wrere preached by visiting Baptists in the various churches of St. Louis during the day. President E. C. Dargan, of Macon, Ga., preached the sermon before the Woman's Missionary Union at the night meeting. Mrs. Julian P. Thomas, cf Richmond, Va., said concerning the missionary funds raised that the Union soon would be able to raise a million dollars a year for missions. The Union during the last year raised one-third of the total amount of money for missionary purposes reported to the convention from all sources. Barbecue Notice.

He bought a bottle and then went back to the drug store and said the medicine hadn't helped him. This druggist just reached into his cash register and took out a half dollar, the price of the bottle of Liver Tone, and handed it back to the gentleman. But he didn't take the m9ney. He owned up that he was just trying the guarantee and, as a matter of fact, he had found Dodson's Liver Tone the best remedy for constipation and biliousness lie had ever tried. "Why," he said, "my wife wouldn't be without a bottle in the house for anything. It's the best thing in the world for the whole family, and the medicine that I prefer to take or give to my children for a lazy liver." Mayes Drug Store sell Dodson's Liver Tone and guarantee it to start the liver without violence. It is taking the place of calomel everywhere. I If you buy a bottl-e and don't find this pleasant tasting vegetable liquid the best thing to start a lazy liver, he will hand your money back with a smile.
