Mr. William Franklin Wright, a native of Laurens county but who once lived in Newberry county and had many friends here, died suddenly at his home in the old Tylersville section of Laurens on Monday afternoon at four o'clock. Mr. Wright was sixty-two years old. Just two . weeks before his death he spent a I day with relatives in this city, and ! wasj-ooking so well, apparently in the | best of health. His sudden death 1 was an awful shock to all, as no one I suspected anything to be the matter with him. He was feeling well and in his usual happy frame of mind to i his last hour. The end, so unexpectedly to those with him at the time, came so peacefully to him. He had just sat down to rest for the moment, and rn that brief period quietly passed away into the great silence of the valley of the shadow. He had iheard of a new hymn at the church the day before which he wanted to hear in his home, and was having his wife at the organ singing it, with his youngest daughter in the room. During the singing of the hymn he sat down. Nothing unusual was thought of that. After awhile it was noticed that he still kept his seat, without saying a wora or attempting to resume his singing. He vmade no outcry as he took his seat and gave no warning of the great calamity that was about to ,fall so suddenly upon his loved ones. No serener or more peaceful death could come to any one. Singing the hymn he so well loved to sing, with the song in his heart and the words upon his lips he sat down to accept the summons that had come to take his spirit to the land of eternal song. His soul within hirn in that sublime moment must have sung "Swing low, sweet chariot," for if angels descend to bear a soul to its immortal home, then surely the soul of this good man was borne on ansrelic wines, even from the little choir at home to the choir everlasting. No one could wish for a better death. TTIII V/right was a great church man, a devoted and loyal member of Sandy Springs Methodist church, and j a great Sunday school worker, superintendent and leader. He delighted j in all such work, and particularly in ! leading the singing. He was also a leader in his community, taking r~rt in all good work forjthe welfare of the county.. Such a man is missed when deatJf removes him. Mr. Wright is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Annie Greneker, daughter of the late R. H. and Jrene H. Greneker of Newberry, and by two sons, Frank G. Wright of Greenville and Will F. Wright, now of Schenectady, N. Y., and six daughters: Miss Irene Wright, teacher at Neeses, who was at home at the time; Miss Annie Wright, assisting her brother in the express office at Greenville; Miss Hallie Wright, teacher of the Deadfall school; Misses Haskell and Byrd Wright, students at Newberry college, and Miss Beulah Wright, living at the home. He is survived also by one sister, Mrs. Margaret Little of Laurens county, and by four brothers: Z. B. Wright, of Whitmire. Robert D. and Haskell Wright of Newberry and JulianWright of, Shreveport, La. He was * ' rrn 3 T the son ol tne late Zj. r. ana jaue Byrd Wright of Laurens county, and he leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his death. The funeral service was held at | Sandy Springs church on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, conduct ed by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Miller, assisted by Rev. Mr. Kennedy of Ora and Rev. Mr. Holmes of Laurens. The church could not hold all who had gathered to pay tribute to their departed friend, large numbers of persons having come from the surrounding country. The feeling words of the ministers at the affecting! scene brought tears to many eyes, I which, with the great profusion of j beautiful flowers in wreaths and! crosses and other emblems made it' a most solemn and impressive occa-' sion.

The little showers on Tuesday evening and Wednesday helped some, but the red dust from Friend street where Captain Joe Werts was working is still very bad and has almost ruined our place of business.

Sidney Dominick of Newberry county, who was strhck by a train on the Blue Ridge about two miles this side of Belton Sunday night, died at the Anderson hospital at 4:20 yesterday afternoon. It is understood that the body will be taken to New berry today for interment. About two and a half miles out of Belton, Engineer Hutchinson saw a I man sitting slouched on th? track. He | blew his whistle and started to stop his train, but the man on the tracks did not move. The train had just rounded a curve, and was carrying extra coaches and being all-steel was especially heavy. The engineer brought his train almost to a stop before striking the man, but when the train did hit him, it was going at suf ficient speed to knock Dominick clear j of the track.?Anderson Tribune, Sept. 30.

As good business men they realize that in order to do so the income must exceed the outgo, or at least be not less. If not the machine can not continue to run. Not only is there high cost of living, but there is high cost of paper | and ink and labor, and in order to meet these there must be an increase of advertising rates to meet the expense account. S The successful merchant does not sell his goods below the cost of the purchase price and the expense of handling. No one blames him for making a legitimate profit. That is what he is in business for, and if he is not it will be only a matter of time ' witn mm. The same here. So the managementJias decided that on the 15th of October the rate for advertising will be increased to 20 cents the inch. That is below the price charged by some of the other papers of the same class as The Herald and News. We have a flat rate for all commercial business except of course the special notice column which remains the same, one cent the word per insertion. It is purely a business proposition. The only merchandise the newspaper has t<$ sell, besides the price charged for the paper, is the space it sells, and the income from the two must pay expenses and a living and legitimate profit or there is no use to be laboring. That is all there is to it. We are going to try, to make a little profit on what job work we do, and if not we do not care to do the *\ . work. We love to work, but 'the Af ! pleasure is ?one if there is not a rea-. ^ sona'ole return for the labor. We i trust that those who have to have * publicity appreciate the position. m*mmmmmmm???^ WILL BUILD THREE STORE ROOMS ON LOT AT ONCE Messrs Langford and Fridy who purchased the lot from Mrs. A. Coke Smith in Main street next to the Fridy Motor company will build at once two rooms fronting Main street, j one for the use of Mr. W. E. Craver who will open a sales department for the Overland cars and operate in connection with it a hospital mainly for the upkeep of the cars which he sells. The other lot or building will be used by Mr. Leo Hamilton for the garage and sales department for the several cars handled by his agency. These two rooms will go about half the depth of the lot. On the Friend f street side there will be built a room for the use of the sanitary pressing club, and one half of the lot left vacant for the use of the occupants of the three buildings, at least until there is demand for another building, which in all probability will net | be long. There is great demand for room of every kind in Newberry just now. People who desire to come here to go in business find it difficult to secure house room for themselves and families, and as for store room there is not a,vacant place in the town. We need a real building and loan especially for the home makers and home builders who are coming to town and who desire to come as well as for those who are already here. PEOPLE, WAKE UP.
