I At Scroti) attH Jem Watered at the Postcffice at New- j 4arry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday. November 23, 1915. i The Herald and News has several ! ery attractive clubbing arrangements ! by which the whole family may be sup-! plied with good reading matter at a : very small ^ost. One very attractive one is the Progressive Farmer, one of ^ the best farm papers published, regu-! iar price $1.00 a year, and the House-j wife, 50 cents a year, when taken in | connection with iThe Herald and News j you get all three for $1.98 a year. Only forty-eight cents more than the price of The Herald and News alone. We have made arrangements with both of these publisations to mail a sample copy of each to all of our subscribers, and this will be done now in the next two weeks. Look them over when you receive them and then send your re-: newal to The Herald an-d News with 48 cents added and get all three. Then our four magazine proposition for 18 cents additional still hold6 good. All five for only $1.68. Then we have several other very at- " tractive club arrangements. Call at The Herald and News office and zet your reading matter for the year. OUR ANNIVERSARY EDITITON. We had hoped to print our fiftieth anniversary edition with this issue,: but it has grown so that it has been impossible for us to get it out before aext week. It will certainly be printed witk our issue of next Friday, and if you have not yet gotten a place in the picture you better do so at once. It is going to be some paper. A real paper from every standpoint. Some of the articles you will want to preserve, because they deal with matters that you can get no wnere else. Then 1 rou will want to read every line of it, j including the advertisements and all j the rest. We would be pleased to see every merchant in Newberry buy some j space in it, because we know it will | be the best advertising medium that he j could use. To^be sure, it will cost a little more than we sell space for ordinarily. but not near so much morej :n proportion to the value of the space, j We will see you if we can, but if we -can not, it is not because we do not want you to take some space with us. Do not put off getting your space and thus have a place in this picture. lllfllUllllB-- } i (The grand jury recommended the i building of a new jail and there is no doubt that is what should be done. Prisoners should have, at least before; I th?y are convicted, a comfortable and healthy place to be confined. It would * be tne part of wisdom and good busi* ness judgment to build a new and mod-, era jail, rather than try to repair the old one. In fact, it would be almost i a waste of the public money to spend any on repairs. Now is a good time to ' fcuild it. . 1 I * AS TO ROADS. Dr. Thos. W. Koon, an old Newberry boy now mayor of Cumberland, Md., in renewing his subscription to The Her-; aid and News, writes that he is "glad t to see you take such interest in good roads." Yes, we just can't help taking * 'nterest in and advocating those thing? '. we know to be for the good of the peo- J. ?)le. The people sometimes are slow ; to see the advantages of some things that are for their good, but we have j great faith in the ultimate good sense; and judgment of the people, and we' * know that eventually they will do the, j. right as thev are made to spp it in " " "I matters of this kind, and we have great j' patience and know that these things j will come and we like to dream about1 them. Dr. Koon, further on in his letter, * l ' aiys: "Last Saturday I -drove from * Cumberland to Baltimore, 150 miles,' n four hours and fifteen minutes over i roads that cost from ten to twelve' i 'lousand dollars per mile, over mountain ranges. One can not realize the; Measure traveling over such roadsrnless they have tried them, never a ugh spot, "never a breaker." Just link of that. Of course we are not : ct able to huild such roads, and yet! I II ^ ? they are cheap even at that price, and would not cost half that with us. We have all the materials right alongside the road and no mountain ranges, j Money put in roads is the best in- j J vestment we can make. The Herald j and News has been for many years an j ardent advocate of good roads and will j i continue to be to the end. They are j coming and coming fast. Automobiles and Fords are helping them along. We notice that a man and a woman j have been convicted in the court at Spartanburg of selling cigarettes to minors. And that Judge Wilson decides that it is not unlawful to pl^y golf on the Sabbath day. Wonder if there is a general law against selling cigarettes to minors, or if it is just a local law that applies to Spartanburg county. *Boge Dream.* This promises to be one of the best entertainments ever given by children in Newberry. The music is bright and catching and the children enter into the spirit of the play with zest. One of the features coming between the acts will be the singing and dancing of the latest song hit of the season, "In Tulip Time," by some larger boys and girls. The play will be given in Holland ai - < i~v - - ? ' jiciii uie evening 01 i>ecemoer 6. Tne I synopsis of the play will be given in the next issue of 'The Herald and News.

Gradually Becoming lYorse Despite Hospital Treatment?Aliments Banished by Two Bottles of Tanlac. Under medical treatment for months at a Columbia hospital and at her home, without securing relief, but gradually declining in health, Mrs. P. D. Cross, who lives at 1812 Sumter street, Columbia, on one of the.city's best residence streets, gives a remarkable statement telling how she has i/rcu iciic*cu ui xier puysicai ms ailQ restored to nearly normal health for a woman in her sixties in just two weeks' time by one and a half bottles of Tanlac, the premier preparation. Mrs. Cross is well known in Columbia, where she was born and has spent her life. She has been living at her present home for 34 years. Her hus band, who died a year ago, was ivery well known in Columbia. "Scarcely more than two weeks ago I could hardly walk across my room, I was so weak," said Mrs. Cross. "1 suffered intensely with indigestion and pains across my chest after eating. My food caused gas to form on my stomach and I was generally debilitated. When I awaked in the morning my bones ached and I felt tired all over. I could not sleep and I became so ill I had absolutely no appetite. "I n r?t Ipqvo the Virmc-a frnm until the middle of October without my son accompanying me and assisting me. Then we only walked around the block for a little exercise. 1 had to hire all my housework done, and finally I had to go to a hospital for treatment. There I became worse, and left so weak I could not walk aione. My nerves were shattered. "My son read an advertisement about Tanlac, and I decided to try this medicine. I bought my first bottle early In October, and it made me almost a new woman Mv annpfito onA? ? ? .. .. J M>jvj^vv?v\/ wvvuwiV/ V/UVl " mou6, and my strength rapidly returned. I have taken almost two bottles, and I feel fine ir ?v_>ry respect. "I can now eat anything, even cabbage, and suffer no pains afterwards. I have discharged my household help. Though 1 could hardly eai anything two weeks ago, 1 now awake at nights and must get something to eat. 1 get up early in the mornings, feeling tine and refreshed. 1 take long walks by iiijseu ciiiu ao 1101 lire easily, so rapidly have 1 regained my strength. I am just so happy, for now I seem on the road to complete recovery." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold at Gilder & Weeks, Newberry. Price $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $5. i V \ A TOUCH OF GOLD. I I Its Magic Restored to Its Pedestal His Tottering Dignity. One day during bis prosperous "Adonis" time in London Henry E ! Disey was walking in the Strand when . he met an American actor. He be- | longed to the order of self satisfied persons who live to give out the impression that the man they deign to speak to is specially singled out by an indulgent providence for high favor. This i particular haughty one had obviously made acquaintance with misery. His clothes were seedy, and there were, written all over mm ttie signs or press- < ing want. "Hello, old nuin, how are you getting i on?" was the Dixeyhail. "Very well, I thank you. sir." replied j the unbending one. "Doing anything just now?" queried j Dixey. "Well, no, 1 may candidly say I'm j not These plebeian hounds over here do not estimate art at its proper value. ; and I have refused, in deference to my ' dignity, to accept anything less than 1 consider my services worth. I may be out of an engagement temporarily, but.! thank heaven, I have not degraded myself by taking any paltry advances.! and I still consider myself a gentle- j man." Then he added, in a lower and less aggressive tone. "But I most candidly own that the pangs of hunger may soon make me forget my professional dignity, as 1 have not had a mouthful to eat in two days." "For heaven's sake," exclaimed the pitying Dixey. "take this and get some thing to eat!" And he laid in the starving man's hand a sovereign. With the touch of gold in his consciousness the recipient's face underwent a magical change. Halting a passing cab. he turned to Dixey and said: "Thanks, old fellow. I'll return this in a couple of days. Cabby, drive me to the Cafe Royal." And away he went to spend that precious sovereign at a single throw. His pride as a gentleman must not be aiiowea to suuer.?i^etrou r ree rress. j IMPOLITE OFFICIALS. j They Sometimes Get a Jolt, as One of Them Did In Paris. It would appear that the public servant, no matter how small his position or humble his function, is much the same person in France as in this country, manifesting much the same lack of courtesy as that which meets us so often here. ! Recently In one of the departments of a Parisian mayoralty, toward midday. a little old employee was fcbout'to begin munching , a bunch of carrots, i Some one rapped at the door. No response from the little employee. The person who had rapped entered "Monsieur." De Degan. "Come back at 2 o'clock," growled the little employee, as he continued to gnaw away at the vegetables. "But"? "No buts about it. Come back at 2 ' o'clock." "I am the new chief of the bureau," j said the visitor. At once the little employee jumped up. trying to hide the bunch of carrots behind his back, as he bowed deeply to the visitor. ? - - . i- . ^ t? a ! "Go Derore me,' saia toe cuiei, uuu show me. if you please, to my bu- 1 reau." The little employee was greatly em- j barrassed by his carrots. He did not ; know where to put them. The chief took pity on him. "My : friend." he said, "put down your car- ; rots. There is no shame in eating i vegetables. But that respectable oc- j cupation should not prevent you from | giving a gracious welcome to the pub* j lie. Let this serve as a lesson to you." j ?Indianapolis News. Mathematical Prizes.
