The rain in the nf mad name ud over the iliiUUlV vx WA4V - v.*. * f running board of the car. He says that the Richland end of the road j for 16 miles is very good but too re- j mainder is bad. We had the pleasure of meeting on the train on Tuesday Mr. W. E. Lawson, now of New York but formerly of Wilmington. Mr. Lawr.oa is an editorial writer on the New York Times. Many Newberry people will remember his wife who was Miss Dollie Huiett.

Cotton dropped about five cents I the pound in a week, or about $35 the bale. A pretty good fall. There was a heavy rain in Newl berry Wednesday afternoon and | some lightning. [ The Ladies' Aid society of the I Lutheran Church of the Redeemer j will meet Monday afternoon with l Mrs. H. W. Schumpert at 6 o'clock. We understand that Supervisor I Sample Is going to have tl" e new road to Prosperity worked one as ! soon as it is dry enough to do the work. Miss Annie L. Smith withdraws from the firm of Miss Annie L. Smith and company and the business will be continued by Mrs. J. W. White. Watermelons are getting more nlon+ifnl rm fVip st.rppts and tht? TV/*ic? f->-*?~ ? i- - J has come down at little, but the ; quality is not as good as usual, most J too much rain to make good melons. Mr. Homer Schumpert received a j slight stroke from lightning while taking shelter from the rain in the ; garage at Mr. C. H. Williams' on Wednesday afternoon. Rev. W. 0. Bodell will preach at Clayton Memorial church Sunday* morning at' 11 o'clock, old time, also i Sunday night at 8:30 o'clock. All j are invited to attend these services. | i The people of the Utopia section I have purchased a community road ] scrape and will keep the road from ] that section to town worked up and j also other much traveled community roads in good condition. On Tuesday it was reported at Newberry that the heavy rains up the road around Chappells and Old Town had flooded the track so that % the trains had to run over in the water. The Mt. Pilgrim school district reported that there was no white person in the district over fourteen years of age who could not Trite and j mi 1 r l reaa. mere was no neeu iwr <x iay by school in that district. Mr. Wilbur R. Gauntt woh abandoned his Maxwell farm in Florida to come back to Newberry as a good sensible man would do brings in the first open boll of cotton and he says it comes from Gauntt and Hunter's farm near Newberry. Mr. Herbert Franklin has purchased the Newberry cafe from Johnson and Johnson at 803 Main street j and will continue the business and i promises to give the best service the market affords and will appreciate the trade. They tell us that the road from the Gum Spring branch to Kinards | is in excellent condition. Mr. Johnson has been using the scrape on it. The recent heavy rains have made it difficult to keep any roads like those we have in this section in very got-d condition. The meeting at Unity will begin this Friday morning. The pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Carson, will be assisted by the Rev. J. R. Hooten. There will be service each day at 11 o'clock and in the evening at 8:30 o'clock i and the meeting will go through Sab-; bath and possibly through Monday. j Street Overseer Jo Werts has had I Boundary street from Caldwell west scraped for which we thank him, but we would be pleased to have him haul some gravel and fill the ditch which they left in front of our door, or have it drained so that the water would not stand there and maintain an unsightly mudhole in front of the gate. r Polly of the Circus the greatest j child's play ever written will be seen at the opera house in pictures on { Thursday, August 14.

The Rev. W. E. Furcron will hold ' a baptismal service at Oakland Sun-! day afternoon at 4 o'clock. A meet- j ing has just closed at Oakland and i Mr. Furcron says they had a great meeting. He was assisted in the meeting by Rev. J. B. Turner, student pastor of Wake Forest college. The * vvere twenty additions to the chu.cDon't forget that little matter of renewing your subscription while the price remains only $1.50. We would ; regret to have the labor and trouble i i of taking any names off the list on ] the first of September, and then have to place them back in a few days, I which we know would be the result, because you may think you can get along without The Herald and News, j ! but you will find you can't, and will ! borrowing vour neighbor's, and [ that will not suit you. | !

We would like to ask again a ques-1 tion that we have asked manv times 'J before, but which no one has answer- j ed. What is the good of stopping ! at a crossing if you do not stop until! you have crossed? What good would j1 it do to stop at a railroad crossing j if you did not stop until you had i crossed the track? The way most of the stop signs for autos in Newberry are observed, if observed at all, is to stop after you have crossed the ; i street or after the car is in the mid- j( j die of the street that is being cross- j | ed. We have yet to see the advant-; age of such stopping. i' l TFIFPHONF AUTO TRUCK !' STRIKES WAGON., 1 . ; j On Wednesday afternoon while the, ' telephone truck was coming to town J down College street, running pretty fast, in endeavoring to pass the wagon of Mr. Otto Klettner, driven by August Klettner who was coming 1 along at a pretty good gait, the rear j of the truck struck the rear wheel of < the wagon and smashed it up and ; threw August on the ground. He was J pretty badly bruised about the head 1 and the leg and arm, but it is not,1 thono-ht that the iniuries are at all serious. | ?? i Smith-Kinard. ! ( On Thursday at 11 o'clock at the ! Methodist parsonage by the Rev. C, ! E. Peele, Miss Annie L. Smith and i, Mr. Henry H. Kinard were united in |, ! "J marriage. Mr. Kinard did not let; many of his friends know that the ; ^ happy event was to take place but!, they all wish him mighty well and i feel that he has done the right thing | in taking unto himself a helpmate, |1 and that there is no mistake. The j] editor of The Herald and News es-1 pecially wishes both of them all the ! good things of this earth and great J happiness. i( : ] Special Sermon to Men Only 11 ' The Evangelist J. M.
