Whitmire is to have a big chau tauqua the 30th of June and the first and third of July. July 1 will be a big day in the old town, and that is the same day that the State campaigners are to he ^n Xewbery. The GlenLowry is going to give the mill workers a holiday on the first and will feave the usual annual barbecue for them on that day instead of on the fourth as heretofore, so that every ??? mi o o ojue may go 10 uc tuouutu^ua, auu that is to be known as educational day and the governor is to make a speech. And there will be other things to amuse the people, and the people will >be there, and don't you for a moment doubt it. It will be a bigger day than State campaign day in INewberry. The Whitmire band and a party of fifty automobiles will journey to Newberry on Saturday of this week <via Clinton with a party of Whitmire boostere, and they will advertise the Chautauqua and the town as they journey. The newspaper men who visited ^ . York last week have had much to say about the "spirit of York." Will somebody please furnish a little information about the spirits of York? ?Rock Hill Herald. Tut, tut, you naughty thing. The idea of your making any such sug? -gestion. "GOV. AL4NMSG A>D CHARLESTON Far be it from us to say augnt about the way Gov. Manning runs things in Charleston. "Runs," we believe is the correct word, for according to the Charleston papers the governor's word -has been law there for some time. For this reason it is a ,'little strange that the iron thumb should be lifted just at this time. The governor will "allow the Charleston - - * l ~ ~ J AD authorities CO eniorce xaw aim v/x\DERit is stated, on the eve of this very interesting campaign. From the' way they did tins in Lne pasi jve nave our own ideas as to how they will do this, in the future. Somebody ought to feel kindly, in Charleston, about this concession from the governor. Elsewhere in the State there may be! different ideas. From all developments there may! not b^ as many believers in the latest oisxro* ftvorr. iPTi-ai?locfHTi ac hprptnfnrp I OiVgaa ii vm UU: *VWWM V%w ?w W??. v. ^This runs: "Manning is "bad, Cooper is worse, Vote for~Rlease?Safety First."? Greenwood Index. Don't you say somewhere else in the same paper: "A vote is a ivote and the man, who can get the most of them, is the man we mu6t look to to turn the trick/' Maybe the governor has caught on and then maybe the 6heriff of Charleston is interested in the matter. Fact is,' all of them are out for the votes. It is votes they want. Your are right, the man who gets the votes turns the trick.

We shall be ,\ery sorry indeed to part with any of our cuoscrioers, but if we do not hear from you by the first of July and tne date on your label is further in arrears than the year 1916, we shall be forced to take your name from our mailing list. The payment of only one dollar, even if it does not pay you up, will retain you on the list. 'vV-e are not yet going to the strictly j cash in advance syste^ though we know that is the proper plan, but under all the circumstances we have not decided to do that just yet, but we csnrot afford to accumulate a big arlearage list such a6 we once had. We know this is a bad time of the year J in this section to collect money but we feel that if you really want The Herald and 'News you can raise one dollar, or if you cannot spare it you can send us a poet card or call at the office and request that the paper be | continued and you will pay some time soon. We are going to give you a real newspaper and not a partisan paper, and during this campaign year we are sure you will want just such a paper and for that reason we are + - Van. .TT'i+Vi +Vl no a TL'Vl/1 O r A 1T1 gVM'iig LIS ucai ?> lilt I/UUUV/ II-V v?a. w arrears if they will just show that they desire us to do so. But we must 'economize in white paper and not send the paper to those who do not intend to pay for it. Or those who do not want it. It is not our purpose to worry you about this, but simply j I to deal squarely and fairly with you i I and take you sufficiently into our conj fidence to eav that it takes a lot of p j money to buy white paper and to pay ; the other expenses of printing the ; paper and if those who read it do not j care for it why we do not care to go ; to the expense and trouble of sending ! it. Remember it is only two weeks ; until the first. I j We notice that most of the sand 9 and dir<^ that city council had hauled in the streets to fill up the holes and make it smooth has washed hack into iScott's creek or some other place. That is not so bad, however, because it will give employment to haul U back again. A few haulings, of course, I would pretty near/pay for making a permanent street but then we might run out of work if all the streets were paived. THE CRIMINAL COURT HAD OJiLY TWO D.1IS WORK The court of general session after i two days work adjourned Tuesday afternoon.. The most important case I coming up was that of Ira O. Burton j Tor murder whose case was continued to the November term of court. Other cases disposed of were: Tiios.

Life membership $5.00, fee for a patron $30.00 and for a benefactor $100. In order to create an interest in the movement for the protection of wild birds the club decided to plan a picnic on some date soon to be held in bird sanctuary and invite Mr. James Henry Rice and (Miss Belle Williams to make speeches in the interest of this movement. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, By the bird club that the sincere thanks and appreciation of the club he extended to Senator Alar Johnstone, Col. Geo. Johnstone, Mrs. Clara McCrary and Miss Fannie Johnstone for providing the clu;b a beau tiful bird sanctuary, situated in tnf heart of the city of .Newberry, whicf eeems by nature to be especiall} adapted for that purpose.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to each one of the above mentioned persons by our secretary and that they be published ii each of the county papers. The clul is very anxious to have an active and appropriate name, and will ck glad to have as many suggestions a-: possible through the county paper* so the selection can be made by ? committee consisting of 'Mrs. W Floyd, Mrs. Clara McCrary and Mrs Mary Burton. Those who desire to inin thp rhih ran sign annlication a1. any one of the 'banks upon payment , of fee. Our first and prime duty is get rid of the English sparrow, and to that end we would suggest anc recommend that their nests be destroyed, however, wre urge that extreme care be taken to be careful not to destroy nests of any other birds. -y \ : t-* juiius JD. r>ouiser, Secretary and Treasurer. A Fine Record. IMr. iW. H. Hardeman has umpired the base hall games in (Newberry for the college team for the past ten consecutive years and in all that time I has never had a kick as to his deciI , sions. This is a fine record. President Harms says he doubts if there is another suet record in the State. The umpire's job is not a pleasant one at best, but to have a record such as this fnr so Ion? a time is a- hieh compliment to the fairness and jus-1 tice and impartiality of Mr. Hardeman, and to his,good judgment and knowledge of the game as well.
