Now is a good time to begin. Wihiv wait for a more pportune time. No time like the present. O, that some one would use old Mr. S. L. Drag on some of the roads. How heai> and Low effective. It would do i "world of good and cost so little. Will ::ct the new supervisor when he omes in make some arrangement wit), he people who live along the road i I 'o use Mr. Drag. We hope so. It j ?vill cost so little and do so m .ch \ I i;ood. Our old friend, Dolpb Jones, was : ~~ v?i J 4-u^v igui, again ue ueiu up tut; -j nent of that $500 warrant for the prei jiium on the bond of Warehouse Com- j aiissioner MicLaurin. The c'.arge of $500 was exorbitnat, as we understand, ^uibsequent events have offered to Several companies have offered to write the bond for less than 1-2 of *500. Just, like we said when we made ihe statement that when Dolnh Jones ! - * * "ssued a warrant as he did against .he expense account of tuis same office, Sam Carter would be warranted in paying it, :or Dolph is generally on iiis job.

PUBLICITY FOP. | If The Observer had printed half j ;he articles that were sent to it for j publication by the National Good j Roads congress, and if it were to print the half that are sent by t':e Interna4'onal exposition, and a fraction of the other things sent in for free space, 3 iere -would not be room left for toe ?-ews or for paid advertisements. We r re willing to help along public enter rises to a reasonable extent; but it 1 strikes us that public enterprises 'night help the newspapers once in a while. Haven't they publicitv funds? ?Newberry Observer. The point is well taken. We have bought of t':e same thing a number f times. The government pays men high salary to write these articles nd seems to think tlhat the newspapers should print them without cost. An important part, it is true, is to have them printed but if they do not ^each the people what good will they do. Of course tile country newspapersis ex-1 ected to print them without cost, we ^resume as a news item. Of course, t does not cost the newspaper any liing to print them and it should do as a matter of news. A lot of it not news to the clientile of the newspaper. Instead of helping the country I newspaper to exist it has seemed to us j hat the postoffi.ee department and :he federal government have done erything in their power to make "t r.s hard as possible for the country -.ewspaper to exist. It must tell evt-ry one it owes and it must be riglt j p to the notch or it will be deprived j : .^e privilege to exist. rr-en there is CI?*iii-:oh college employing a specialist to write articles or the instruction of tfr.e farmer fey i very clever young man, no duobt, ' ut one whom we dare say has not -.lowed a mule two hours in his entire xistence, and they are set up and Printed and sent to the newspaper regularly with the comment they may >e used if desired. IWfhile paying all "h-ese high priced men who not make it easier for the country newspaper -to exist. -rM foTr~;: i To He 3r??rr/ed Wednesday. Invitations reading as follows ha.e been received here during the past week and herald an interesting social event of next week: "Mr. and Mrs. John William White invite you to be present at the marriage of their daughter, Sarah Amelia, to Mr. Thaddeus Cannon Johnson, Wednesday evening, the 25th oi November, at half past 5 o'clock, 1003 jCaldwell street, Newberry, South Carjolina. At home. Wadesboro, North Carolina."' TVis marriage is of cordial interest ! to the many friends of this young j couple. The bride has made Clinton ! her nome for several years past where j she has "r.eld a position with the C. | X. & L. railway office as clerk, and has made her home with Mr. and 'Mrs. F M. Eoland. She is a very attractive and popular young lady and has a large host of admiring friends who will read this announcement with in; teres:. The groom is a native son ! of this place, but at present holds a position in Wadesboro as suocrintendent of the water and light plant. The wedding will be attended by a numtoer of young people from this city, all of wtom, regret exceedingly that her marriage will take her away from this place. Dr. E. Pendleton Jones. , Edgefield Chornicle, 19th. It was a priviledge of no small note for our Edgefiled Baptists on Sunday last. Dr. E. Pendleton Jones, of Newberry, is a most popular and gifted gentleman, and is a writer ^ind speaker of renown throughout South Carolina. His text for the evening sermon was from Proverbs 4th-22nd: "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.'' We listened with deep interest, for he holds your close attention to "his verv Drofound exposition of His words, exhorting man to faith in God's word and his promises. In the course of his.sermon, his vivid imagination in picturing our sojourn from earth to heaUen, brought before us the ghost of that most wonderful writer and saint, JoSn Bunyan, of England. We could almost see him sitting in tiae Bedford jail,, where he spent 12 years of 'his life, ministering to all posterity by writing the Pilgrim's Progress. What a gift, what a comfort it must foe, to feel that you are imbued with such power to influence the conversation of a poor, lost simful human soul. We can not claim Dr. Jones as a South Carolinia'h, for he is a stamped Virginian, but we would like to claim him for a season, long or short, in IT r? ornfi a1 ^ T~\7 a full tr li i o ;i-fU 5C-UC1U, tY C JLUHJ CJLIUUI oc 11AO ideas of our great fault in taking precious care of our "old earthly bodies,'' and leaving our souls to strave. God grant that the scales may fall from our eyes. We hope to bear many more such sermons .rom Dr. Jones. The question arises: 'Shall Edgefield go to Xewberry, or Newberry come to Edgefield. We wait the answer. NOTICE OF SALE. J On Saturday, the 5th day of Decern- J ber, 1914, there will be a sale of ail' the stock of goods, fixtures, etc., of L. M. Player and W. L.
