and Bmtered at the Postoffice at New hsrif, S. C., as 2nd ciass matter. BL H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday January 23. 1917. The Herald and News prints an in terview with Mr. Geo. W. Summer,] president of the Alollohon Manufac turing company, which we desire thai all our people will read, and upon j whose suggestions we hope the city j council will act. We will be pleased j to hear from the other men of larg? ; affairs in the city on this same sun- j ject. City council should give the peoj^e j a statement of how their business; stands. We are of the opinion that J there is at least one bond issue whicn ! it is possible to refund this year, and j if it is not done that the bonds will i run for twenty years longer. This; would be a good time to refund these! bonds, and by so doing save a good sum in interest. Money is cheap now and no doubt the bonds could be re funded at a much lower rate of in terest, and work a considerable sav ing to the taxpayers. At any rate, it would be a good ' idea to have some one who is com petent to check up the outstanding indebtedness of the town and its re sources and let the people know just ^. what can be done in the way of mak-, t . ing some public improvements. We J' believe with Mr. Summer that if it is shown to the people they will or - der the improvements made And we further agree that it is time for this, town to do something if it is to keep, aereast with the other towns m the j State. Tfce advertisement of Mr. J. D. Qi&itleb&nm which appears on page) six should be read so as to make the price of the Cherrolet $550.00 instead of $490.00. We failed "to make the awrection before putting the form to prow. NEWBERRY BOTTLING PLANT CHANGES HANDSj i Capt. wV S. Langford (who leaves j today on his return to Wichita Falls, T-eras, has sold the Newberry Coca Cola Bottling works to a compauy oi men from Orangeburg who were in the city last Friday arranging the transfer. The name of the corpora tion now is The Newberry Coca-Cola Company of Orangeburg and Newber rv with the following officers: Presi dont, P. M. Smoak; vice-president, M. 0. Dantzler; secretary and treasurer, R. M. Brufcner. The 'business will be continued here under the management of Mr. L. F. Fischer, who has come from Orange burg with Mrs. Fischer to make their home in "Newberry, having rooms with Mr. and Mrs. Claude H. 'Williams. Mr. W. A. Asbill, who has so suc cessfully managed th,e business, will remain with the new company and asist Mr. Fischer until "the first of February, when he will finally sever is relations there to continue the looking after of some of the other business interests of Capt. Langford. There are no other changes. Mr. Jamfe E. Paysinger retains his position and will continue to' "deliy* rr the sroods" in his usual Dolite antl accommodating w*y, and the colbre? hands will all be kept in the places, as they have shown by their faithful ness to b? reliable help. The Herald and News hopes Mr. and Mrs. Fischer will like Newberry. They will find it all right. Mr. Fisch er has already shown in the short time that he has been here that he is a business man of quick p<Ste??tion and pleasant manners. We think he and Newberry will agree with each other. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN CITY OF AEWBERRI Mr. J110. C. Grimth, the night watcn- I man at the Southern Oil Mill, was waylaid 'by a would-be midnight as sassin a little after 1 o'clock Monday morning. At 1:20 that morning, In answer to a telephone mesasge, Po liceman E. H. Cousins and G. H. Con nelly went to the oil mill plant and discovered that the watchman had been shot. It at first appeared that lie had ben hit in the face with a coal clincher from the looks of the wounds, and aslo as Mr. Griffin said it felt as though some one had brok en a bottle in his face. Investigation proved that the watchman had been wounded in the face and neck with No. 8 bird shot. The attempted assas sination occurred whil tlie watchman was making his usual rounds and near the smokestock as he turned the corner of the boiler room. The wounds are not of a serious nature and Mr. Griffin is getting along all right. Dr. Houseal was called to dressed the wounds. There have been no further developments in the caa* by the ay-' thoritiea. The Goodman Greater shows will continue their exhibitions throughout this week. The weather was so very inclement last week a great many psople were prevented from attend ing. Many of those wlio did attend the 6hows say they are very good. Let the people see for themselves. Lots of people are oppo&ed to carnivals "un der all conditions. There is one thing certain, there is no compulsory act compelling your attendance. They don't go to your doors to put on their exhibitions. If you attend you go of your own accord to the grounds, which the show people rent. If you want hard luck last week. If you want them to do better this week, that is your individual business. A ONE YOUR Is Going tc at our e: To|represent Newberry Who it will be is left to the House.
