Mr. W. H. Hardeman and M
John Livingston had been announce
for several days for alderman froi
Ward 5, and Mr. Julius J. Langfor
for mayor, and^intil just'a short tin:
before the list closed there was r
opposing candidates for any offic
except Ward 5.
At 11:30 on Friday Mr. Eugene J
Blease signed for mayor and Mr. V
B. Wallace signed also on Frida
about the same time for alderma
from Ward 3. In the other ware
there is only one candidate for eac
ward and only one from each war

[THE COUNTY FAIR f(
R i BY COLORED PEOPLE
ii The Newberry county colored fair
association held its first annual fair 1
November 13-15, on the ten acre .lot. t
recently purchased by the association, c
This movement is gotten up by the r
e colored farmers of the county to en- a
gage ourselves more forcibly and at- c
y tentively along the lines of indus- c
e trial pursuits. First we wish to thank t
r- our white friends of the city and I
n county for the help they have given I
le us. In money, and nails, in building c
jr. the fence around the lot, about half t
r. way. ?
id Our expenses will be heavy at the t
m high cost of lumber. Again we wish I
*d to thank the city and rural officers
te for the assistance given us in keep- t
10 ing order and for their advice, i
:e There was one arrest made and one ! i
i
little excitement. One of our ticket j 3.
sellers, Ford Mangum was taken sud-' ?
1. denly sick, but Dr. Duckett was soon ! *
y at his assistance and he was able to j %
n be at his post the next day. j t
Is There was a big crowd Friday and jc
h Saturday and every thing was very I
d savins the arrest which was c
J ^? o
i- quietly made. * c
ic A good number of our leading c
k white citizens visited the 6 fair and t
seemed to enjoy themselves very r
3- much. Mr. E. H. Aull was asked to
make a talk which he willingly accept- (
e ed, but being some what indisposed he 1
spoke a few words of encouragement, ?
that he thought the movement was a s
good one and in the right direction,
t- for the boll weevil wa# hero and that u
we had better start from today and
raise our food stuffs. Thfti he in
z* troduced Mr. J. B. Felton, superintendent
of colored schools. He
i- made a great impression of the importance
of an education, and that it
is not intended to lay aside farm
- and industrial work.. Mr. G. D.
Brown made a good talk. Also Rev.
i* S. Nance spoke and gave some very ^
; Encouraging remarks on-the-awocia-. .c

:OUNTY TEACHERS HAVE ]
INTERESTING MEETING
Dr. D. W. Daniel of Clemson college
was unable to be present at the ;
eachers meeting Saturday on account 1
>f illness. In his stead Prof. Der-1
ick kindly consented to speak to the j j
issociation. Prof. Derrick spoke j <
:oncerning the great defect in the 1
juality of teaching as revealed by
he investigation of Dr. Chas. Mc- <
slurry last year. According to Dr.
tfcMurry, school buildings are be:
:oming more adequate, teachers are
)etter educated, but the teaching in
South Carolina is atrocious in that
he teacher does the reciting for the !
>upil.
Dr. J. W. Carson, explained to the'j
eachers the plans of the /Red Cross j
for next ^ear. He showed the great!1
leed of the health unit at Newberry,'
:howing that if the Red Cross put up j
>2,500 and the county that mucli the j
'ederal government would match the I
> 5.000, making available $lf),000 to'
>e spent in preventing and combating
iisease in Newberry county. The
)ast two years have'shown the need
?f medical inspection of school chil
Iren. The present outbreak of tra- '
homa in 9 and 10 townships proves j
hat the health unit would be worth j
nany times its cost.
Mrs. L. W. Floyd distributed Red ;
>oss seals to be sold by pupils and
5rof. Cannon urged the further or- 1

HUN SEA LINE KNOCKED OUT.
North German Lloyd Company Loti
AIL Btf Ships By Interanrat
New York* Tribu. .
Charles Von Helmolt, resident director
of the North German Lloyd
line, who succeeded the late Gustave
Schwab in the management of the
line's business in America, arrived
here on the Holland-American liner
Nieuw Amsterdam alter a snore visit
to Germany. Mr. Von Helmolt, who
had become an American citizen during
his stay of nearly ten years in
this country, went to Germany to discuss
with the German directors the
possibilities of a resumption of the~ i
North German Lloyd's service. ^
He found little to encourage him, ^
he said, as the company had only a
few steamships left, and these were
hardly more than a thousand tons
each.
"These vessels," he said, "are the
only ones on the sea that are flying
the company's flag, and they are
used like ferries between Bremen and
Scandinavian ports."
Another traveler on the Nieuw
Amsterdam was the Rev. J. H.
Jowett. former pastor of the Fifth
\
Avenue Presbyterian church, who
conies here to visit his former congregation
and to deliver three sermons
from the pulpit he left over a
year ago.
Also on the vessel came Dr. Wil* ?
iiam H. Tolman of this city, who
jpent 14 months in France as "Y"
iirector for Bordeaux and vicinity.
Under his wing, he said, were 9,0(H?
:oolie laborers in the service of thia
allied armies, and he found ther/v
well behaved and loyal workers.
"One morning," he said, "a train
load of wounded American sold:erv
came in on their way to New Yorb
and I found that hundreds of thos?
coolies had surrounded the wounded
Americans and given them all the
cigarettes in their possession. On
another occasion a train bearinor
American ' wounded was stopped by
congestion of traffic in the open
country and the cdolies volunteered
to carry water for the soldiers from
a supply a mile and a half away."
Included among the 9,000 passengers
on the vessel was the first complete
theatrical company to reach
this country since 1914. The English ^
players have come here for a long
3tay and will present "The Luck of
:he Navy," which had a long run in
London.
