The governor will leave his, mem- i bership in tC.e Red Men with Bergell tribe, of Newberry, until after the meeting c: the great council of South Carolina in Newberry next April. Governor Blease was born four miles i.rom Newberry, at the Menden hall place, which was then owned t>y V? is father. In hi-: early childhood he lived one year iji tfie city of Columbia. while his father was .:ere as a citizen. Going back to Newberry with his father, he lived there until four years ago. when he came to 'Columbia to be inaugurated as chief executive of South Carolina. Governor Blease will practice law in this city. He has already rented offices in the Clark building, on Washington street, and will go into t'. e active practice of his profession as soon as bis term as governor expires. rrv-- tide hrvsifq of friends ! i'liC JUY CI UV1 uuu :n Newberry county who will regret to learn of his decision to make his j permanent home in Columbia.

Summer, two of tie white men charged with having entered the home of i .Mrs. Annie Hedgepai; at Peak on the night of November 3 and relieved her \ o:' $130 in cash, which she says s'nt had pinned to her undervest in her \ 1-osom, have been released from jail, each having given the required "bond of $2,500 each. A. R. Syfan, known as "Pete" Syfan, the third man arrested charged with having participated in the same crime, is still in jail. It is probable, however, flat he will give the required bond witkin the next few days and will likewise be released. Strong counsel has been employed to prosecute and defend the men, and the case bids fair to be one &. the hardest fought in the annals of the county when the case comes on for trial. All of the men ??re prominently rvmnpMori and the-ir friends are active :a their behalf. The store room recently vacated by Dr. W. G. Mayes is b-eing overhauled and repaired for N. P.

S. Wilson one J. A. Black welder I (white) was convicted of violation of ! the banking laws and was sentenced r ' s rl n.

(Sentence commuted to one year's imprisonment in tv e S;ate penitentiary, or to pay a fine of $500 to the clerk of court o Lexington county on or before the irst day of January, 1915.) Now, know ye. That for divers good causes and considerations me here unto moving, I have thought fit to parole and by these presents do parole the said J. A. "Blackwelder, until E. H. Fihame, Jr., is prosecuted and a vercict of guilty or not guilty shall have been rendered by a petit jury for his (E. H.

Rumors About Auditor's Office. It was rumored on the streets Tuesday. and again yesterday, that Auditor Werts had been removed by the governor and t1 at Co1.. E. H. Aull had been appointed to the jj.ace. 1 he o 'o man | asked Col. Auil yesterday as to the 1 T-To renit'pri r: at if he had been i cyui t. * ^ v. i. v appointed, he did not know it. and felt sure he had not been or would have known it. He said further that he had net applied for the place_.?The Obesrver. The Herald and News man had | heard of tl.:e rumor but had intended to say nothing about it and we are sorry that the Observer should give it th e dignity to mention it as it is without .oundation in fact. Col. Aull ' ad even never thought about such a position. In fact he has said time and <""U irorQ t-U.Tv PCUl T1 f V f a gen ii Luau iucic in.iv, ?,, _ fices that he would not have, that of county auditor and til:at of county treasurer. Not that we could not rill either one but they deal with a work that is not to our liking. The governor tas not removed the present auditor and he has not resigned and yet there are people in Newberry county who are industriously circulating the report that we had been appointed auditor. We are sure it was not started by any friend of ours or of the present auditor and it was not started [ with any good motive. Just how such j i! ings get in circulation we have no j idea. T ,'c nniv nnp pnmitv office that we would care about and it is the one that pays the least salary but there j are possibilities tor work and doing a service to V e children of the county and it is a -work that appeals to us, and that one we held for a short time and we think we can say without the appearance of egotism that we did something and yet the people turned us down w|.:en we asked for an endorsement of our work. We never complained. It was their rig'r.t and sure it was no loss to us. If we re main in Newberry we may asK .or n again but we are making no promises. As for auditor or treasurer or supervisor we do not care for any one of them though they all pay more money and require no more work. This scribe is not office hungry and :i-e hever had one from which he made any money. And he has the assurance of his own consciousness that he ::as "given value received for every cent he has ever received from the .public. Don't fail to R H.

At this we had a 'ICandy I Booth," a "Fortune Telling Tent," an "Ice Cream aPrlor," and music. In addition to the pleasureis of the evening, we raised $30. By the various means we have cleared $314 which has been invested in school equipment. We have all d ildren of school age in our school."

She was real pretty and so full of fun that the dimples were always showing in her round, red cheeks. Her eyes were big and brown, and her nut colored hair curled naturally in little ringlets over her forehead and ears. She was just eighteen when we first met her and so neat and attractive that nn? wnnlrl think she belonged to the well to do class of working people, but when we followed her to her home one day we confronted startling facts. The red in her cheeks was the flush of unnatural inward fever, the high spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitiless conditions, and the big brown eyes saw ouly squalor when they were not fixed upon a typewriting machine or closed persistently to any view but an iiM.-iL'innry bright one. The room we entered was a general living ' Mace, used ateo as an eating, cooking and sleeping apartment. There was but one bed. and Betty had to sleep in it with her mother, who was | ton wp.ik to sit un. An open cuspidor j sot where it would be conveniently I near tbe bed. which placed it by the j stove, where their food was cooked, j The mother, who was suffering in an ! advanced stacre of tuberculosis, did not i like cold air, and her querulous de- ! mands caused Betty to keep the door j and windows closed. VWell." said cheerful Betty, with a laugh, "that isn't so bad as not having any windows or doors to close, is it? Things might be worse." "Infinitely worse," said the Wise One. "You might even take a notion to stuff the windows and doors with rags to cut out what oxygen comes in through the cracks."' Red Cross Christmas Seals, with their cheery message of hope, gave Betty a chance to get well after her j mother died. Is It worth while to save the Bettys? Buy your share today. SEAL ON EACH SOLE. "Am I using Red Cross Christmas Seals?" reiterated a good natured eld cobbler as he looked up from the shoe he was repairing to the person who stood blocking the doorway of the little shop and who had asked the question originally. "I don't know of them. What are they for?" he askod. When told that the little stickers! were being sold ail over the United [ States to raise money to prevent tuber- I culosis the cobbler became very much j interested. "Now. I call that a good cause." he . ,J A Onrl i drawled, "i aon i wruc auj I don't send any Christmas packages. There's just me and the old woman left. I can't use my seals that way, but I'll tell you how I can use them. I will stick a seal on the sole of every shoe I tap." PRESIDENT WILSON ON RED CROSS SEALS. As an expression of his interest in the Red Cross Seal and Anti-tuberculosis Campaign President Wilson recently wrote to the National Association For the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis: "May I not take this occasion to express to you my deep interest in the work of the National Anti-tuberculosis association and my hope tnat its worn is jrrovrina: in efficiency and extent from year to year? May I not particularly expr-ss ray interest in the Red Cross Christmas Seal, whose sale has been the means of raising fund* for the work ? "It seems to me that this Is a particularly Interesting and sensible way of enabling the people of the conntry to give this great work their sap Newberry County Teachers* Meetm*', December 5.

She says if she can take a whack at consumption afore she dies she'll rest easier, an' I guess she will."
