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.'

The public school system ! is maintained as a sacred trust, not j to suit the whims of teachers or the caprice of officials, but to provide a tower of defense for the State by the improvement and correct development of children. 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?' Who would not sacrifice his wealth and his life in driving from our borders an invading enemy? Have you ever stopped to j consider the fact that the most dan- j serous and the most costly enemy to j our principles is ignorance? Ignor- j ance at the polls is a threatening j menance to cur government; ignorance costs our nation millions of dollars annually through inefficiency in the industrial and commercial world; - - - 1 J ^11 -r? rvAAnl n ignorance xias uiuucreu uui pwyit from producing a great literature, and from achieving and appreciating great ideals in art; ignorance of the laws of health and sanitation causes un- j speakable pains, premature old age, j early deaths. Yet South Carolina pays proportionately less than onetenth as much for education as some states, and is next to the lowest in literacy. Suppose you had a large interest in a large business and an annual stock-' holders meeting were to be held, i would you attend the meeting? It you could probably learn something i about the business that you as stock-. holder ought to know, or if you could do or suggest something that might add to the productiveness of the business it would be your duty to attend the ! meeting. Today, Friday, July 25, at 11 o'clock ' at the new court house an annual i stockholders meeting will be held. The board of trustees of the city schools ; of Newberry will make an annual report on the conditions of the public i schools. Every man whether he has a child or not, every woman, and every childr, whether he own a dollar in the world or not, is a stockholder in our public school system. We appeal to you to show your interest in your business by being there. Hon. J. E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education has been invited to address you. Ernest Anderson.

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. Yfonir nrenartinriff have SDrunST UD ! that imitate the claims made for Dodson's Liver Tone, but remember Dodson's Liver Tone is the tried and tested remedy that has proven such a good medicine aDd is so eatisfactory to every user?is the reason these imitations are on the market.
