Lexington Dispatch, 2nd.
John C. Swvgert, Jr., and W. A.
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

dollars cr to serve one year, ana

io a line of $">00 or to one
year's imprisonment has been
raroled by Governor Elease upon a
most unique condfiton.
fThe parole is in fall as follows:
Whereas, at a coart of general sessions
and common pleas, began and
| holden in Lexington county at Sepj
tember term, 1913, before Judge John
! S. Wilson one J. A. Black welder
I (white) was convicted of violation of

(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. Ri. ame, Jr's.) defalcation in the

Hon. R. I. Manning was t e president

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.

Miss Lucy Senn, secretary <y tine as-;

I "Our object in all our meetings is
; not only to raise money, but to make |

j together in a social way. We have i
j 19 members and not one inactive. |
Aside from school and educational j
subjects, we have discussions at ir ;
regular monthly meetings of subjects
interesting to the farm home-keeper, j
such as "How I '' an Berries" or "A !
New Recipe I Have Tried." We often j
read magazine articles on current top-;

Miss Lucy I.igon of the Pomaria
graded school writes: "Our association
was organized J'une 13, 1913,
with 19 active and 14 honorary members.
On August 11, we gave a barbecue
at which' we cleared $103. In
September, just after our school opened,
we had a "Reception" in order
that the patrons migLt have an opportunity
to become acquainted with
l til:e teachers. At this we had a 'ICandy

"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

BETTY GETS A CHANCE.
Red Cross Seals Helped Her to Get
Well.
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?

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."

SHE WHACKED CONSUMPTION.
Red Cross Seals Are a Powerful
r Weapon.
She was richly gowned and bedecked
with furs and jewels. Hh was a shab
by. wizen faced sort of man. Both of

booth at the same time. "My wife is
dying with consumption," lie said in a
husky voice, "an' we ain't got much
money, because I'm out of work, bnt
she did want me to buy five of them
seals. She says if she can take a
whack at consumption afore she dies
she'll rest easier, an' I guess she will."
He wiped his eyes with his knuckles
and reached for the package of seals
which the pretty attendant had put up
for him
"Where do you live?'* said the richly
dressed woman, who had been an Interested
listener to the shabby man's
brief story. He gave an address In
one of the poorest tenement house
neighborhoods. ;
"I was goinjr to buy a few seals for *
my little girl." sp.id the woman, "but
your wife's desire to g&t a whack at
