County fair, Thursday, Friday -.nd Saturday. ' What's the Idea?" Thursday at he opera house. Mr. H. L. Parr declines to be a andidate for mayor. 7 his is the week of national prayer, lelii annually over the United States. We are hearing something about November and December brides in Newberry. Cotton was bringing 39 cents in he Newberry market Monday, with eed at $1.35. '? h-:J. ?:n inc uacneior maiub win meet Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock with he Misses Dominick. The weevil is little but loud. It vill- more than a woovil of a man o get ahead of him. For failing to obtain a State No. 'or automobile license Tom Lyles >aid $5 in Newberry. The Woman's Patriot -calls Maj. r fc1 T the Clemenceau of South Carolina. A fine and fitting ribute. "I Love You" was better.

It >ught to be "an ill wind that blows icbody good/' At the Negro state fair in Uoium)ia last week Thomas A. Williams >f Newberry was retained as treasurer of the association. Messrs Jim Lominick and 0. B. Cannon sold two bales of cotton Saturday ,onc of which brought $264.66, and the other $203.82. Recorder B. V. Chapman had his first case for speeding to be tried ifi his nnnrt. Saturdav. for which Anderson Gauntt paid $15. It is the whole state instead of only from Columbia to Augusta that Mr. J. Monroe Swindler has as his territory in traveling for the- Southern Cultivator. We will have oar "Country Cousins" with us Tuesday at the opera house, with Elaine Hamerstine in the title" role. Also a Gail Rpnrv comedv. The many friends of Mr. Jno. W. Earhardt are urging him to run for mayor. It is not known as yet whether or not Mr. Earhardt will yield to the pressure. On Wednesday it will be "The Man inJthe Open, led by Dustin Farnum, at the opera house, followed by a Capitol comedy. Dustin Farnma is very popular in Newberry. 'Tor the love of Mike," said a young girl to> another Saturday afternoon in looking at that rat proof corn crib opposite the postoffice, put these to demonstrate the crib. "What's the Idea?" is not a oic kure; it's a musical comedy, to be s^re on Thursday. How many people in ;Newberry Jo like a musical :onaedy; next to a circus or a minstrel Show. Join the Red Cross while the ioining 'is good, if yoia haven't already had a heart and given your ?r> AM%%; jonar. ijyuay, x uesuay, me anniversary of $te signing of tfce armis;ice, is your golden opportunity, cnocking at yojir door. During the state fair Mr. W. A. Stnckey, former superintendent of he Newberry schools, met ^President Derrick and voluntarily handed him i contribution of $400 for Newberry :ollege, saying; that the college was ioing the work of the people. An ignoramus with a fortune is ;omething like a drunkard driving a ^rd-?no one knows where he' may and or. how much damage he may ause to other people while he is on he way. Thus spoke the DeKalb sTew Era. And it spoke truly, ^men. "There were eight negro gamblers -J? -ST -*-i- i- _ "Tk 1 H/f >eiore magistrate i;uugias uu xtxuxilay.

From what we observe in . this own some more plumbers are needed ere. It seems that those who are ere are kept too busy to do all the ,'ork. It may be that some of them re not "on the job." We don't now, but there is some work ecrlected bv somebody.? j In writing to- renew his subscrip- j ion from Rocky Mount, N. CM Mr.' . B. Dominick says: "I do not wish; :> fail in receiving every copy. I, ead the State and Baltimore Sun aily. The day that The Herald and tews arrives, even when I get The tate and Sun at the same time, I ead The Herald and News first, for ; is just like a letter from home." ^ood! good! At 3:30 on next Sunda yafternoon j here will be a meeting of the New- j erry County Post of the American j .egion in the court house. Among !ie important matters to come up j .JC tUv icyuii/ ui. one bv'iuiiuvi,vt/ . p. the advisability cf re curing a home : or the legion in Newberry.

The man is charged with grand larcency amounting to $200. He is in jail awaiting trial. He admits that he was in Detroit recently, but that he is innocent. Until the pre-, liminary is held The Herald and News will not say anything further, * i. aooiu me case. The largest, fincoO ana sweetest | persimmon, the kind grown princi-. pally in Japan, was brought to th:s j office from the hr:::? cf *fr. R. H. Switterftrg, who has a tree in hisj yard. There Were 15 or 20 more of 1 the some sort where the sample we J r i are mentioning cams num. xma. particular 'simmon fell into the j hands of the reporter, who took it j home, where he divided it among j five persons, each one receiving a i large slice, it was. so large. j The announcement has been made J that all the barbers had agreed to j charge 20 cents a shave hereafter. \ That was a misunderstanding. Mr. j , Hallman told the reporter that he; did not propose to raise the price, j as he thought 15 cents enough. Since i then Mr. Farrow stated to us that at j ( his place the price of a shave would } remain at 15 cents, except that he' would charge 5 cents extra for a j neck shave. No other barber has j - * " ? _ i x I said anything to tne reporter aDout, it. i That dog-gonned old helled buzzard has come to life again. The Pick, ens Sentinel says thiat a Mr. Robinson saw it one day last week near his home, flying low, and that he heard the bell very distinctly; and that a , Mr. Lark also saw it. It must be Bell Buzzard, Jr., because that other one ought to have been dead long a&'0. These Pickens gentlemen may have seen and heard a belled I buzzard, but the story might sound ; to some people like a Robinson Cruso | ! on a lark joke. The original B. B. i was seen in .Newberry years ago, and then again, it is said. i Here is what Mr. Roland G. Spearman * of the Southern Bell Telephone company at Palatka, Fla., now fiolH nc rpr?ortpd in nayo ui mo .. ? the Southern Telephone News: i 'There are great discoveries being ^inade every day. The greatest dis covery of my life is Palatka, Fla. Situated on the <bank.of the beauti; ful St. John's river, whicfi is about five miles wide, it is truly a land of .flowers, snakes, alligators and good | fishing and hunting. I was surprised, ; to find the summer here so delightj ful and the winter just fine. Oh, ;how the black bass do bite! No promotions for me and mo transfers will be considered?m just stay here nnta I die." When we read last week that an j aviator charged $10 a passenger for a little flight m the air at the State fair and that the "station" was . crowded wiiji persons eager to take the trip, we wondered if those per' sons who had "money to burn" j 'j would be eager to give $10 apiece ji for the "thousands dying of starvation in Petrograd," as announced in {last week's papers. When we read j of "Hunger in Budapest," and "Red | Cross nurse tells harrowing story," j arid other like horrible news, and then i | see how our people, some right here i i in Newberry, are literally throwing , i money away, we think of the cry of ] . a woman who, with her dying baby j. in her arms, exclaimed: "My God, |i thousands rolling in wealth and my i ; baby starving." I It has been predicted that the com| irg: winter, when it does come, will I be most severe and long drawn out. i In view of that fact we call atten tion to recent newspaper statements i concerning the destitute condition of i I the Jews in eastern' Europe, he con-1 ^ j ditions are worse than ever before, i? . and it will be tragedy with winter, as | one paper had it, not sufficiently fedp i for years they are not prepared to j | combat cold. When we look around " , in Newberry and see people with more money than they know what to ! r r?n with- manv SDendine it lavishly ic and often foolishly, it is hard to ^ realize that other people are dying of starvation. The situation is appalling in stricken countries. Do you ever give it a moment's atten- } ticn? "With the coming winter the } climax of tragedy has been reached."
