It would be a good iiing. Some one get busy. The Herald and News would like to sugges; that clean up week be continued. We are inclined to believe that some of the citizens forgot about it, particularly in ihe business sections. At any mte it will not do any harm to extend the proclamation for another week or ten days. The Herald and News publishes today an excellent article from l)r. James Mcintosh on the free tolls discussion now going on in congress. Doctor Mcintosh reviews the history of the policy of the United States on the question of ship subsidy and shows 4 ^ ? * " - O rro ^ it lias uccii aj,cuuct policy and principle to grant ship ^ subsidy. His article contains a lot of ftp . various information and will repay the reading by those who desire to be informed on this question. h' Durins: i.his beautiful soring weather I and a: this glad Easter time, it would have been a fitting honor and remembrance to our departed loved ones if the people of Newberry would have j gotten together and put the city of the | dead in a more attractive condition.! The old fence which encloses the j grounds is falling down and is in a di- j lapidated condition. The drive ways | are still almost impassable. Many of | I'he lots ave in a fearful condition. It! I v;ould take but very little time and labor to make this an attractive place and every one in Newberry is interested. If there is any family in the town m*no nas 110 aear ones ouriea tnere that family is indeed fortunate, but it Trill only be a few years at best until you may expect to have a deeper interest and a personal interest in the care and condition :o this city of the dead. With the increasing number of au- i tomobiles it is almost absolutely necessary to :he safety of human life thai ) some sort of traffic rules and regula-1 Hons be adopted and enforced. This is especially necessary for the town and is almost as important for the ; country roads. If every one who! r> / or* ti*<A > O V A f 11 1 r-wl o /I i vi 11? a tai w ao iai ciui aim uau aiiv j sort of regard anl respect for the other fellow it Uiig'it not be necessary, but it too often happens that the follow who is driving a car, by his attitude and conduct impresses upon the other fellow, at least that all the driver has *o do is to toot his horn and every thing else must clear the track for "I j am coming." With our narrow streets j there should be some regulation as to j which side of tiie street and not only ! I slowing down at crossings but giving' signals before crossing. And in cer-! I \CUUL ui luc^c uanuw uuoiucofc i cars s'hould not be permitted to be j parked. i J On the public roads vou never know | whirh <?idp a hn^o-v in' frrmf nf vnn ?>? 1 going to take and some'imes when ' you meet one you don't know whether | it is going to the left ov ihe right. "We can not understand why it is so, j but it is true that you have to pass I some sort of regulation and enforce it! to protect people against themselves, j The speed ordinance in Xewberry is \ violated every day as well as the slow j down ordinance but only now andj then do you see some real reckless i driving. The enforcement of some traf- ! fie rules are just as important as slow j down and stop ordinances. It is im-j portant to the safety o-f human life 'that something he done. We are not the only people who need to have regulations of :his kind. In Columbia you read every day where some two or three have been knocked down by autos, while in Newberry we hare had only a very few serious accidents but with the increased duda"ker of ears tehey will conae, aad better act before it is too lata. ,v NEWS FROM EXCELSIOR. j Easter Services?Eeir Hunt Enjoyed By Children?Personal and Otherwise.

Goff, to whom a final appeal for a new trial had been made, declined to reopen their case. Al a prolonged hearing today Justice Goff, who was the presiding judge at j the gunmen's trial, listened to the tea-; timony of new witnesses produced at! the last moment by counsel for the I doomed men. .Late in the at'ternoon, j after District Attorney Charles S.! Whitman had been given an opportu- j nitv to offset the newly offered evi-, i dence with testimony by witnesses of his own, Justice Goff took the case un- ( der advisement, announcing that lie ^ would render a dicisicn tonight. For more than four hours the justice i toiled over the record of the day's pro- ; ceedings. Then, shortly before 10 o'clock, he appeared at the door of his ; chambers and briefly announced to the | waring crowd of newspaper men thai j he had denied the application for a new | trial. Later he gave out copies of his j opinion. Ainaaviis 01 .>o raiue. Justice Goff in his cpinion cited that the application had been referred to him because the law required ihat morion for a new trial be made before the justice who presided at the trial. He declared the law made it mandatory for him to hear the application, and. f o f Vi A n?An 1 /I /I Air* (T C A mac ac wuuiu nave a>v;iucu uuiu^ ovj i had it been possible.

Of the other four affi- j | '"avits, these of Dresner, Burwell, Kal-: ! mans on and Rea, the court said thevs I could not be "considered as of any ; probative value whatever.

FEDERALS EVACUATE TOWN OF SA> PEDKO | Constitutionalists in Mexico Score Vic-! tory After One Reverse?farranaa Will Go. Juarez, Mexico, April 10.?San Pedro, 40 miles northeast of Torreon was evacuated by the federals in the j face of superior numbers today, ac- j cording to a report from Gen. Villa j to Gen. Carranza. Hiigni aays ago uen. unega wun only a brigade attacked the town, which lies on a plain and offers no cover. The command found the fed- i erals unexpectedly strong and last i Tuesday retreated to await reinfo'ce- i ments. These .hail come up today1 and an enveloping movement was be- j gun. De.ecting this the federals forsook the city. Xa advices were available as to the! whereabouts of Gen. Velasco, who evacuated Torr^on eight days ago, but rebels believed he had not joined another force of federals, said to be under Gen. Hfdalgo in Sal:illo. Refugees from Torreon brought word yesterday that the junction had been j formed, giving Velasco a combined j i'orce of about 32,000 men. Unconfirmed rumors were afloat to- j day that Tampico had fallen. Gen. Carranga, who announced his | intention of departing for Chihuahua 'tomorrow, said he expected to stay there only a few days before going to Torreon to establish new headquarters there Another report said a rebel detachment from the brigade of Gen. Guiterrez met a detachment; or federals at Masmesa, a short distance north of San Luis Potosi killing 46, the remainder falling back on the main force in the city. Sixty carloads of cotton confiscated j at iTo' reon arrived here tonight. TO WED FIRST WEEK IN JifAY McAdoo-Wilson Nuptials Leas Tlian ir j l_ Afll jnontn uh, i I i White Sulphur Springs, W.
