{ practieally agreed upon the propose
/tion A letter has been mailed to each
shareholder of the stock of the Sav|||
sags bank stating the proposition. It
5s in'brief to give each share holder
of stock in the Savings bank the option
of retiring his stock at par or
of taking $100 of stock in the Exhange
bank for $150 of savings oanx siock
1 For many years there was only one
\ bank in Newberry, the National bank.
The Savings_bank was first organized
a part of tfee_ National bank with
f Mr. Robert H. *Wrtgbt as cashier and
- J did business in the building now used
^iy Mr. Robert MoC Holmes as his cotton
office. The capital stock wa3

to a capital stock of $50,000
. and Mr. Joseph E. 'Norwood came
here as cashjer from Wilmington, N.
The Exchange hank is the youngest
ei the four banks in- Newberry and
was organized by Mr. J. D. Davenport,
WHO was presiaeni lor several yearsrr
^ . ' . ...
. Under the management of Mr H.
\ L/ Parr as p/esident and Mr. M. L.
Spearman as cashier it , lias been romarkakly
successful aed has mack
money for the shareholders and "lias at
V
all times been progressive. The
handsome new building which has
been -built and paid for by the bank
Is a monument to the public spirit
and progressiveness of the management
of this hank. Mr. Parr is one
of those individuals who does things
and does not talk about the doing of!
them very much.' The new building
of which The Herald and News will
ave something more to say in a subsequent
issue Is a credit to the toWn
' and we wish very much that some of
jfthe other banking institutions woull
/ jeo anii Hn HkAwisp
It 1a supposed that the capital stock
of the merged hank will be increased
to a $100,000.
Dr. James Mcintosh has been president
of the Savings bank for a good
many years and his energy and "financial
acumen has made for it many
friends and there are many of its old
customers and patrons who will re*gret
to krow that it is no longer to
be a separate institution, tout the combined
banks will be the better able
t* to care for all ?he customers of both
Institutions and the, new ones that
-will come.
It will be pleasant information *o
P the many friends of Dr. Mcintosh to
fcnow that he will-remain with the
bank fn an oflicial capacity.
The Herald and News wishes for the
new combination the greatest of success
and we feel sure that it will go
on to still greater things for the share
\ holders afid 'for the development of
bg^the town and county.

ON ITS WAY TO SCRAP HEAP
Dialect Known as "Pennsylvania
Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to Be a
Thing of the Past
"Pennsylvania Dutch," that curious
! combination of German, English and
Yankee, which since Revolutionary
times has developed-in parts of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, is going into the
discard. For more than a ceptury it
. has been growing just as languages
always grow, with use. It has corrupted
words, made words, created
forms, one might say a grammar of
' its own. It has not, it is true, produced
a literature.. But it has been the
. speech of a considerable numoer or
persons in their homes, it long, since
i ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English it never was. In it, students
tell us. are mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gaelic
words.
"Pennsylvania Dutch** has beeh the
dialect of those German' disciples of
; j Peter Menno who came to America,
(1 some of them in pre-Revolution days,
, j seeking religious liberty and political
b i ireeuom. some 01 tnese went, .raw
j Ohio" during Revolution days, others into
panada, some as late as Civil war
j days. Their religious beliefs conflib'!
uted to isolation. And they were largex
J ly an agricultural people.
Now the word has gone forth among
| J the Mennonites that it Is no longer
patriotic Jto speak "Pennsylvania
'; Dutch," and as fast and as thoroughly
! as possible these unbelievers In war are
'! discarding the speech of childhood and
-! home associations. The task id not an
! impossible one to them, since all or
I nearly all of them have had some ex
} perience in the common schools. From
j among them 8,000 young men have
| gone overseas to fight the oppressors
i; of their ancestors and the barbarians
'; who threaten their own liberties.
, i' The banning of "Pennsylvania
Dutch" is an impressive object lesson
to all Americans., Let's all resolve to
speak English.?Detroit Free Press.
L More Than Paid the Debt
r Some of us will give a second
! thought to the extraordinary achieve
nient of a congregation in Geneva, N.
Y., which first built with reckless exr
I travagance a massive graystone
church and then adopted the tithing
system to get them out of their difficulty.
The story is told in Outlook.
When the church wa? dedicated?11
that is the right word?the debt was
' $82,000, and the weekly budget $230,
i The weekly income was less than $100.
1; In two years the debt has been re
duced to $40,000 and the weekly in
i! co&e is $300. Of the 1,000 members
. | 350 are tithers. A tither sets aside
. one-tenth of his income for Christian
f | activities. The blessings of happiness
' and prosperity which have attended
1; the people are remarkable. Many
i j thrilling stories are told. Some church
s. leaders are deeply impressed by the
f! success of the system and they are ad['
vocating it as a financial policy.?

TAJim ; GRADUATE "OF YALE
,
New Mayor of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education in Great American
University.
"Viscount Inajipo Tajiri, newly elected
mayor of the dty of Tokyo, Japan,
is a graduate of the class ?of 79 of
Yale university, where he specialized
in economics, finance, politics and history,
says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan, he "was appointed
a secretary in the department of
finance and also to a chair in the imperial
university at Tokyo. Subsequently
he was director of the bureau
of the national debt, banks and revenue.
In the course of time he was admit*
tn tha fainsp nf and wis vice
minister of finance* first in 1892*1897,
and again in 1898-1904. He was made
a baron in 1895 and a viscoont in 1907:
, More recently be has been chief of
| the board of audit To knowledge of
\ the technique of banking; national
! finance and international credit the
viscount adds interest in and mastery
- of natural science, and ifi both fields
he is an authority;
His selection as mayor comes after
a long and futile effort of the municipal
assembly to agree upon a candi'
date chosen from the ranks of poli
ticlans or ordinary civilians.

It Didnt Work.
t A wee fonr-year-old was having
Thrift stamps explained to her by her
1 young ancle, an enthusiastic canvass1
er. To illustrate his talk he ended
1 it by giving her two quarters. "Now
these will buy you two Thrift stamps,"
he said.
"Two Thrift stamps," she repeated,
' smiling.
I A few minutes later her grandmoth!
er came into the room. The uncle,
' eager to display the effect of his oratory,
ordered: "Mary Ellen, show
grandma what yon ha?e."
Obediently Mary Ellen displayed her
two quarters. "Now, tell grandma
( what you're going to buy with them"
he smiled in anticipation of the
. answer. "H-f)
But his smile didn't hold.. In Mary
1 Ellen's sweetest tones came the int
formation: "Tandy and tookles."

Death Guided the Plane.
A remarkable instance occurred
somewhere in f ranee, in which a faitht
ful flyer brought his machine safely
- home, although he himself had died
t from the effects of a wound received
1 in an encounter with an enemy ma!
chine in the air. Knowing that he was
about to die, he propped himself up
L in such a way that -the rudder bar and
control lever were tfept in position,
' carefully calculated the distance back
to camp and arranged the machine so
i that it would volplane safely to the
. j ground after his soul had departed.
His plans were successful, and when
i his horrified companions hastened to
' him they found in his pocket a notebook
in which was the information he
had been sent to obtain?"at all costs."
