I do not wish to pose as a "calamity howler" nor a usurper of anyone's authority, but I see things happening every day on the streets of Newberry, that is enough to make him "speak up and spress himself." On that stretch of level pavement from the bakery to the depot, the temptation to motorists is so strong to "let-er-out" that it is hard to resist it, and yet there is no power on eart'h that could avoid a tragedy should a motorist come dashing from a side street, with a bad spell of speed fever oil him. The writer has seen some very calls at the intersection of College and Maiij streets. And while we are on this subject of automobile ordinances, there is another evil that should be abrogated, and that is cutting out the muffler. Tn all the large cities they are only allowed to do this as a warning, after first using the horn, and failing with that. The way most of our motorists are using it, is a nuisance. They are i nor usinsr. but ab-usinz it. This muf- j fler cut out, was primarily placed on ! cars for the purpose of giving the: motor more power on hard pulls, and afterwards it was discovered to be a very efficient warning, hut where it is used as much as it is here, it will loose its effect, and that will be a 1 'pity 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity.'

School buildings are erected not simply to adorn some public plot to be pointed out from a distance with pompous boast; but they are put there for the intellectual, moral, social and esthetic training of the makers of the next generation, the future guardians of our liberties. - - " 1- T ~ Who would not lay ciown ms me for his country?'

Hundreds of people in this vicinity | alone nave stopped tne use of aanger; ous calomel when their liver is acting .slowly, and take Dodson's Liver Tone instead. Dodson's Liver Tone is always safe and has none of the bad after-effects which so often follow the use of calomel. It is a pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid that starts the liver gent; ly and surely, and relieves constipation and biliousness and causes no restriction of habit or diet.
