.. ______ i | VOLUME LY., DUMBER 6 NEWBERRY, S. C? TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1M9. TWICE A WEEK, $1.50 A YEAB 7 STATE OFFICERS' SALARIES CONSIDERABLY INCREASED kBill Will Probably Be Completed by Legislature to Take Effect Today. Columbia, Jan. 20.?The general as y sembly, which convened on last Tuesday, has so far done little of Statewide interest, except the passage by both houses of a bill to increase the salaries of State officers. The measure as it passed the senate would have increased the salaries of circuit judges, circuit solicitors, and circuit stenoapraphers, as wel, but the house cut these out, and also trimmed the sal/ *aries provided by the senate for elective State officers.' The bill, therefore, will have to go to free conference this afternoon to smooth out the differhofwoon tVl P t wr> houses. It UliV/UO MWV ** VV** vus/ *> *? ? ? -?- , _ _ _ must be passed and approved tonight in order for the present officers to get the benefit of it, as their new terms * of office begin tomorrow, and their salaries cannot be changed during their term of office. Gbvernor-elect Cooper is to be inaugurated tomorrow. The house Saturday by a majority of two to one vote refused to strike out the enacting words of the bill. The Christensen bill from the senate is * now-on third reading in the house and will receive final passage in this end of the capitol this afternoon. Immediately after the approval of the Christensen bill Saturday, as amended by the ways and means committee, the house adjourned until 3 o'clock this afternoon. ^ * The amended bill provides for a salary cf ?5,000 for the governor and $750 for the lieutenant governor. Oth?r. elective State officers, which are attorney general, comptroller general. adjutant general, State treasurer, sec* retary of state, superintendent of education, railroad commissioners and commissioner of agriculture, would receive $2,500 each. The ways and means committee cut the -elective State offirprs from 53.000 each to S2.500 and also' eliminated the insurance commissioner, the chief game .warden, the vsuperintendent of the State penitentiary, the secretary of the State board \ of charities and corrections," which were also to receive $3,000 by the XJhristensen bill. The committee further amended it by cutting out pro. visions for an increase of the salary k of the chief justice of the supreme B co&rt to $4,500, associate justices to $4,000 each, judges of the circuit courts $4,000 each, circuit solicitors $2,000 each, court stenographers $2,1 'AHA aar.li Tho tot a 1 in/>rp?fip will hp less than $8,000. As soon as the bill gets its thirdreading this afternoon it will be sent to the free conference committee fnkn the two houses, that the measure may be reported back to each house, approved and signed by Governor Manning. The signing of this bill will likely be the very last official act of Governor Manning. / FROM OTHER STATES TO ARREST FUGITIVE The Sheveport, La., Journal of the 15th, instant, contains thet following: Beputy Sheriff W.

Cunningham, Chairman Secretary. There is at least one mother in Newberr^obeying the injunction of the board of health to keep the children at home. She is not only a true mother but a true citizen.

The fact that they may be; ( found to be conscientious objectors of war should not be held against them i in the consideration of this case.

GUSTAVFS WERBER ,1 SUGGESTS FLU REMEDY. j I Editor The Herald and News: Considering influenza and resulting :' pneumonia has killed more than 350,-; )00 of our citizens in the past few \ : nonths, the new outbreak now pre- i railing would seem to justify me in < jailing attention to a simple house-; lold remedy which will prevent the 1 levelopment of this disease when used ^ i :o sterilize the throat and nose, and I o urge our public health officers to i listribute it among the people and to irouse them from their apathy. I refer to Benetol (glycente of naph-! hoi) which I have used since its first : liscovery by Prof. H. C. Carel about , iight years ago. and I have never been iisappointed in its efficacy as a germi-; ;ide. | When exposed to influenza the nose j ind throat should be sterilized once or ] .wice daily with a solution of ten or, * welve drops of Benetol to a tumbler )f warm water, using deep gargling 'or the throat, and a spray atomizer for :he nose. But for my personal use I Drefer Warner's postenor nasal douche is a quicker and more effective appli nation, and which I have u^ed during :he past thirty years without an accilent. And when the throat is not tiypersensitive a very quick and effective ipplication can be made with a little practice, taking care never to use much force in expelling the liquid. \nd after the water has died from the lose further protection can be had by ipplying the naehulizing oilof Benetol ivhich for the time renders the person immune for some houfs at least. Dr. Sherman's vaccine No. 38 has ilso been shown to have both good prophylactic and curative properties. The dose in either case is 15?*ninims, njected into the arm, and repeated in 18 hours as a curative agent, and repeated after four days as a prophylac;ic measure. Two months ago the health authri-; ies of Pittsburgh vaccinated 200,000 ! people with Sherman's No. 38 vaccine j vithin ten days, causing a marked di- j I Secret.
