Pelham and Son Succeeded by a Company of Bright Young Men. ! It is a long time to look back to the I year that Dr. Wm. E. Pelham opened a drug store in the town of Newber- i ry. He was a young man then, and he is not' an old man now, and Newberry was comparatively a young 1 town. In Pelham's time it was a happy period, and it is pleasant to recall the years and all hat they held. There '.have been many changes since and , Dr. Pel'ham lives to tell of them. But he has retired from the business, the firm nf Dr Wm E. Pelham and Son . having been bought by a company of ' young men. Dr. Pelham retires not on account of old age or infirmities, for he is still young and vigorous, but because the business had become too confining for him. Nearly forty years of hard and close application to the exacting duiies of a druggist and pharmacist would be enough for any man to endure, and more than tae majority of men could stand. Dr. Pelham, who is full of energy and pluck, has devoted the years of his life to a steady pursuit of his chosen profession and he has been a successful business man. He is a versatile man and possesses talent, being a fine writer, inheriting this marked ability ; trom his distinguished father, the lamented Professor Charles Pearce Pelham w,ho was well known as an editor of force and influence in his day and generation. j Dr. Pelham graduated from the South Carolina college in the class of 1871. He moved to Newberry in 1874. having been associated prior to rhat period with Dr Walter Fisher as his prescription clerk. He has been identified in all these years with ?.11 that meant the upbuilding of the community in its religious, social and business aspects, and Newberry enjoys the reputation of cultivating, cherishing and nurturing these in their highest, best and purest forms, being known far and wide as a city of clean habits and careful ways in all > l the walks of life. ! The successors to Dr. Wm. E. Peli ham and Son are Messrs. J. E. Stokes, I W. O. Miller, E. E. Stuck and Jas. W. Johnson, young men of business abili- j ty, excep ional merit and character, and of the right mental and moral . calibre to make a success of the undertaking. While The Herald ani X?ws wishes Dr. Pelham well in St. Lukes Locals. The farmers of this section are very busy picking cotton and sowing grain. Not only che farmers, but the teachers and pupils of St. l>ukes were seen in the cotton fields Saturday. The proceeds realized will go for the improvement of ulie school. School which has been in session four weeks, is progressing nicfely. "The Sciiool Improvement association'' is also doing splendid work. Thirty members have now been enrolled, and a busy crowd they were on Clean-up-Day. The next meeting is to be held FriXday, November 21. A play entitled "Fun on the Podunk Limited", is to be given for the benefit of the school, prior i.o the Christmas holidays. In the meantime practicing is a weekly occurrence. a hn\- nart.v will be given at St. Lukes school on Thanksgiving night. The public is cordially invited to be present. Come to our box party. We'll have lots of fun For your sweetaeart the boxes to run, All are invited to our Thanksgiving party. Games Ol all kinds will be played, When the chink for the boxes have been payed.

To encourage such is a splendid rule. Misses Winn and Deer, Teachers. Tradle Roll Department A word from the County HJiemeniary superintendent to those interested in the Cradle role departments of the Sunday schools: Dear Cradle Roll Superintendents: I am in receipt of a letter from the department of St. Paul's Sunday school that sounds so interesting :o me that I am going to give you the benefit of a portion of the letter. "Our Cradle roM was organized in 1908. The children are promoted to beginners department when they are 5 yeai Id. We have a reception once a year. This department is growing. Our offering has increased every year. " ~ " " * T>"U ? It was $S.oU tnis year, me llUiXJLU^l enrolled is 60/' We draw the conclusion at once that St. Paul's Sunday school is a wide awake school and that its cradle roll superintendent is up and doing. W!hat Mrs. Wedaman is doing for S:. Paul's Sunday school can be done by a lady from each school. I do not mean to say that every school could gather 60 for its cradle roll. But if there are 10 babies who should belong to your cradle roll and you enroll 10, you may be doing even more than Mrs. Wedaman, for there may be a dozen more in that congregation whom she 1 J T /-N+ nr. nnt ho cat. nas not reacneu. juci uo uui. ?. isfied until we get every baby on the cradle roll. And I wish to say to the Christian ladies that if there is not a cradle roll department in t'he Sunday school to which you belong won't you assume the responsibility of organizing one? I assure you you would be delighted with the work after you once got started. If you need any help call on me and 1 shall be delighted to assist you. ' - -? *- ; ? ^r\f o frnm i am just in lctci^i ui ?. iVUV/l i. A V/AA* the State elementary superintendent saying that the county having the largest number of cradle rolls would be presented with a banner for that department at the next State Sunday school convention, Newberry county can win this banner if each school will have one of its wide awake ladies to gather in the babies. Friends help me in this work. Won't you? Let's have a hearty response from all the schools of the county. J ; ^ ~ ~ ~ v ^ P 4-V??\ liftlo Yours in tne miexesi. ui mc ones. Mrs. J. Sidney Derrick. ; | whatever he may choose to do, we bespeak for rhe young men who follow the business a continuation of the large patronage heretofore enjoyed by W. E. Pelham and Son, which pharmacy, under the long management of the senior member of he firm, was the oldest in the town of Newberry.

The Woodmen of the World are steadily growing and taking in new members at every meeting.

Washington, Nov. 19.?The war department today wrote the governor of South Carolina a letter bearing on the i recent inspection of South Carolina troops and while the department declined to make public here the contents of this letter before it has been received by the governor, it is understood that in plain terms it calls attention to tae very unsatisfactory condition of the troops at the present time. Lieut. Col. David C. Shanks of the army made an inspection of the troops in compliance with orders from the secretary of war between October 6 and October 21, 1913. I The object was to determine the condition of the 12 companies which had been inspected and reported as unsatisfactory at an inspection made in Aiarcn ana Aprn, i?io. i ao not i wish to make any recommendations I in regard to these companies," the report says. "There may be considerations affecting them or important reasons for retaining them that are not fully known to me. "The following expression or opinion regarding their present condition and reasonable prospect of improvement is based upon the idea that the United States desires to encourage | military instruction in every way; it [ does not want to withdraw opportuni ty for military instruction in any case where it seems reasonable to suppose that the government may receive even a fair return for the money invested or the efforts made. An analysis of this in the absence J of specific and more direct information which is contained in the letter from the war department to the governor of South Carolina, leaves little room to doubt that, taken as a wiiole and witj special reference to the companies at Chesterfield, Bamberg, Barnwell, Bennettsville, Conway and Lancaster, the federal authorities are not satisfied with their showing. This I is the state of their condition even after the warning or<ler wnich several of the South Carolina companies rej ceived from the war department last summer. It will be noted also that the companies at Elloree, Darlington, and i Companies C and B at Columbia, must ! show improvement before their gen| eral condition will be satisfactory to j the secretary of war. It is assumed j that upon receipt of the letter from j the secretary of war to the governor | of South Carolina by the latter, the ! matter will assume definite shape. It ' - - ? -i . i ii j will then De snown aiso wueiuer or ; not any of the South Carolina troops 1 I are to lose their federal appropriaj tion or whether they will continue as at present.

"JE" SAYS GOVERNOR IN REGARD TO REPORT SHORT WORD APPLIED TO WASHI>GTON DISPATCH. To Effect That He Would Not Run foi Senate But for Third Guberna tonal Term. Special to The Herald and News. Columbia, Nov. 20.?Governor Blease characterized as a lie the report sent out from Wiashington, an . published n several South Carolin newspapers on Tuesday, to the effect that the governor would not be c. candidate for the United States sen ate, but would seek a third term governor. , More than three months ago, or. the 5th of August, the Washingto . correspondent of the News and Courier sent his newsDaner a "rumor" that Governor Blease would seek j third term as gov?srnor. GovernoBlease at that time gave out a statement in which the said that was "on lyan other one of the many newspaper lies that are now being, and hav?r* been for some time past, sent oi. from Washington trying to savo somebody from defeat." He went o . r to say in that statement: "'I will 11 a candidate for the United States ser. I - X 1 n 1 A ? n *3 T /H U rt \ I TTT* ** t?/_ JU I3it, ciuu x win, Kgaur j less of who or how many may be :i. the race." The governor did not give out an:4 extended statement in regard to th? repetition of this story, published c,. Tuesday, but nailed it with the shoi and emphatic word, "lie." Following is the Washington dis patch as it appeared in Tuesday's papers: "Washington, Nov. 18.?South Car olina's political horizon was cleare * by the announcement from authent: i sources that Governor Blease won I", not be a candidate to succeed Sen tor Smith, but would cncer a third gubernatorial race. "Governor Blease is expected ti make tills announcement, at tuie opening of the legislature. "Democrats here are elated, a.? Blease's election would embarrass t'' administration. "At the Blease conference in Columbia recently insurgency was rar pant. The close friends of the go ernor offered to support him in t!igubernatorial race, but declined tfc . suDDort for the Blease senatorial pirations. "These Bleasites repudiated Carre I Simms and advised the governor t. nourish his senatorial ambitions for future race against Tillman." Attending Florida (fathering.
