I SHAPE OF HUMAJf HEAD i I 1 I Master Paul Fulenwider sent to this j office an Irish potato that is probably the greatest curiosity in the "freak! potato" line vere seen in Newberry. It is of large growth in the shape of a j human Ifcead and face, with chin, mouth, nose, eyes, ears and forehead. It is indeed a remarkable production. "With a little cap on its head and a miniature pipe in its mouth, placed there by Paul to complete the "reproduction," the thing looks almost life-1 like. The ways of nature are wonder\ ful and often mysterious. SEMI-ANNUAL DIVIDENDS About $->0,ft00 P?*id Out by Newberry Institutions in Dividends oh July 1. Some thirty 10 fifty thousand dollars was nairi out in Xewberrv nn rhp first in the way of dividends. That will help some. The Herald and News has a partial list of the institutions paying dividends on the first of July. There may be others that have paid semi-annual dividends but i fthere are we have not the information. The Newberry Cotton mill paid the semi-annual dividends but if there are cent on a capital of $500,000, $25,000. The Commercial bank paid its usualj 6 per cent semi-annual dividend on* $50,000, $3,000. iTne Farmers Oil mill an annual dividend of 8 per cent on a capital of $30,000, $2,400.

"Mrs. Wiggs" was greeted witfa a full house and 'the large crowd was well pleased. There will be another ]arge crowd out on next Tuesday to see Lillian Russell in "Wildfire." We can only add, from the Buffalo News, that, "the development of the motion picture industry has been one of the marvels of the present age." According to the federal census bureau, 68,000 miles of film was manufacteured for tf:e United States at a cost of $37,000,000 in the last eleven months , of 1914. Newberry through Mgr. H. B. Wells is in it. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edward Fulenwider, pastor.) Nothing preventing, the following will be the program of divine services at the Lutheran church of the Redeemer next Sunday. 11:15 A. ?M. The morning service. The pastor will preach a sermon on the following text: Dent. 22:8, "When tliou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement (parapet) for thy roof, il at thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any iman fall from thence." The text is not only interesting but immediately suggests a line of practical and serious thought for .us in this modern age of the world. In e>very dasy. life there is too much individualism and selfishness. The spirit of thoughtlessness has little or no regard for Uhe welfare of the other fellow. Even in these great institutions of the home, Sunday school, etc., there is the possibility of there toeing a carelessness and indifference that might endanger the physical and spiritual life of oil ers. Read the first twelve verses of the twenty second chapter of Dent, and you will catch the significance of the message for the Sunday morning service. 10:15 A. M. The Sunday school meets. All scholars and teachers are requested to be present. A cordial invitation to all services is given the public. Cans Arrived. Miss 'Willie Mae Wise of the canning club asks us to announce that the car of cans about which she gave announcement a few days ago have arrived at Prosperity" and those who desire to get some of t!:em to call at once as the car must be unloaded.

The wounded man is getting along very well. Sheriff Blease and Deputy Dorroh promptly went to the place, and although they have been making strenuous search for Dembo he has not as yet been captured. He may as well come in and surrender, for Blease, Dorroh and company are like Uncle Sam, they never hold up. ( C. P.

When asked by the reporter if he had any statement at this time to j make with reference to the affairs of! ! the office and any special work be j expected to try to do, Mr. tfarre saw: | "There is realLy nothing now I wish to say along tl at line. The work of the office "is, of course, entirely ^new to me. The first thing I shall try to do is to familiarize myself with conditions, to find out what has been 3one, and to get in touch with the teachers, trustees and patrons. Before the sd-ools of the county open for their fall sessions, I shall probably say something more. In the mean time T -L -11 ?

Mr. Barre was asked if he expected to continue to practice 'law, and as to that, he laughly said: "If I can get i. ~ " any iu pia'jutc. Seriously, he stated: "Yes, I will not give up my law business. I told Mr. Swearingen, the State superintendent, that I would make the duties of the office of county superintendent my first consideration. I expect to carry out that promise in eveny way. But like former Superintendents Wheeler, | Brown, Anil, and perhaps all the j others, I shall have other businessmine will be the law. It happens though that my law office is conveniently located to the office of county superintendent of education, just across the street from tree court house.

Mower Co. during the past twelve or more years having given her an education in the art of buying and j selling, as she did most of the buying for the firm. Greenwood still draws from Newberry for help, Miss Kate .Adams having been called there some time ago. Capture Fugitive. TV: at fellow who while under arrest last week slipped out of a barber shop in Newberry didn't long enjoy his freedom. Chief Duncan and his assistants, always on the alert, determined that no man should escape on such easy terms and stay escaped, chief thought the man l:ad probably gone towards Whitmire, so he rode about twenty miles in search of the fugitive, who was later located at Oakland mill, when he was rounded up by Policemen Stone, Cousins and Livingston. The man paid his board bill at Clinton, and fche Newberry force got back on top, where they belong, and where they generally stay. Woman's Missionary Society.

Another bakery, new and up-to-date, will scon be one of the important additions to this city in Newberry's onward march of improvement and prog ress. iVr. J. L. Burns is having the baker}* built in rear of his store. Tha fine oven for it f:as been shipped Irom Chicago. The building and outfit will cost much money, but Mr. Burns is sparing no expense, as he thinks Newberry needs and demands the bakery he is to establish. We see no reason why he will not be successful with his undertaking. Of Very Much Interest to Newberry. Laurens Advertiser, 30tTa.
