We are not complaining because we are sure the salary is small enough and too small, but it does look a little incongruous that the superintendent of education, who is at the head of the schools of the county and the supervisor of the county who has charge of the business of the county should be"" paid a less salary each than the rural policemen. THE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE. City council has adopted a traffic ordinance which' is published in this issue of the paper. We would advise all persons, whether they operI X 1 ? 14-^ are cars or ouggies ul era vex tiiiugether on foot to read the provisions of the ordinance very carefully and to cut it out and keep it for handy reference. It is a very important ordinance and will be very difficult to remember all its provisions. .It is not intended as a hardship on any one, and really it is unfortunate that it is necessary to have to adopt by legislation rules to govern in such cases, but human nature is so constituted that it is necessary to have and to enforce certain regulations of this character for the protection of all the people, those "*vho would disregard the rights of others as well as those who would be willing and who would^endeavor to have regard for the rights of the other fellow. Some of the provisions in this, ordinance have been on the book3 of the town for many years, but they have been almost entirely disregarded. This present ordinance will not be worth the paper on which it is' * - r J 4-Vn\ written uniess it is eiiiuttcu^ anu mc time to enforce it is from the day on which it becomes operative. Otherwise it would be better not to have any law at all. There has been an ordinance in regard to cut outs for several years, but the cut outs make more unnecessary noise since the lav.* has been on the books than they did before, if it were possible. Then there has been the ordinance as to stopping at certain corners which has been on the honks for a loner time, but it is more generally disregarded than regarded, <uid when the stop is made it is generally after the street has been crossed, and we have never been able to see any good in stopping after you had gone over the street on which the collision was liable to take place, better keep on going and get cut of the way of the car that may be coming down the other street and observing the stop ordinance in the same way. At one time we suggested to Mayor Wright the importance of an ordi nance requiring all cars to drive to the right, but he held that our streets were too narrow for that, while we held that that was on of the main reasons for observing such a regulation. It is included in this ordinance and it is proper. As to the places and the sides of the street on which you may park your car it will be necessary to keep a copy of the ordinance by you all the time so as to know which they are. This matter of parking cars and vehicles in the town is getting to be a serious one, our streets are very narrow and if cars or other vehicles are parked on both sides it prevents traffic on the streets, because even if enough space is left to drive tlvomh it is not sufficient to pass another vehicle. If these who drive for yl-vi;-ure would just take other than th^se arom^l V:' ~ brs*-c tior. espcc* ?Hj on Sat. o*- ' other days v*K*r there i.^e in f> on? the ccaatry It v.-cu- . . then that, is a matte - t\.r-, i-vis' I left vO tie common zz^zl ar.J | judgment of the people themselves, | and will depend upon how much re| gard they have for the rights and convenience of others. i The point is, if all drivers of cars and other vehicles will study the or' dinance and cooperate in the enforcement of it we will get along all right,; and if they do not then it will be up to the officers to see to it that they j do, and this we hope they will do, be- j cattse the law will prove useless and worse than useless unless it is en- j forced. OUR NEW MEMBERS. ! The Herald and News is glad to! welcome the good friends of that j portion of Lexington county which ! has voted itself into Newberry coun ty. It contains 22 square miles and j extends from the Broad river just De- j low the town of'Peak across near the j town of Chapin to Camping creek; and on to the Saluda river. There I are about 175 white voters in this section and th^y are all good substantial citizens and farmers and we are glad to have them come among us as citizens of this good old county of Newberry. And we would like to have 'all J wlm arp nnt. alreadv members of'The J Herald and News family to coir~ right i along now and join us. The act of the legislature which was necessary to confirm the vote of the people has been passed by the legislature and is now in the engros- ; sing department and will be ratified this week and when the governor affixes his signature this will in fact I be a portion of Newberry county. The ! act as it passed the legislature is published in full in this paper. There was opposition in the legislature mainly from the members of the house from Lexington county, but the bill was passed by a large major ity and as soon as signed by the governor will be the law. j We understand that the Newberry : delegation will provide another townj ship to comprise this new territory j and we suppose will call it Lexington township No. 12. As a further evidence of the tendency of the legislatures to provide what we would term "wet nursing" j for certain of the people an act was J ^ 1 01 ~ ttts\ nr rlny?co -n rl r\rn_ pcioccu III ?*J?<Jy vv t uuL^iCtaau, v~ i v:.":::g for the segregation of the j races working in textile manufactur- j ing establishments, and under its pro-; visions the attorney general says that even the mills can not employ negro | women to do the sweeping in the 1 mills, and Mr. Harris says that all violations of the act shall be prosecuted. This would be a good law to repeal. Just as well say that the good housewives of Newberry should not be allowed to employ negro women to come into their homes to do the housecleaning and the sweeping and the cooking while the truth of the matter is all of them are anxious to | have these colored women when they ; can get any that are willing to work.! j We fail to see the common sense or the good of any such law. The people who work in the textile institutions are perfectly willing to have these colored women do the sweeping. ^ In fact, we should suspect at this time the mills will find it a little difficult to get any one else to do the i sweeping. We fail to see the good | to be accomplished by saying that a 1 negro woman can not do the sweep- j ing in a textile manufacturing estab- j lishment where white people are employed. But that is the law and Mr. j Harris and his agents are prosecuting the officers of such institutions where they are employing negro women to sweep out the dirt and the result very likely will be that many of the floors that need sweeping will go unswept for lack of labor to do the work. NEWBERRY BEATS * i WOFFORD FIVE ! Newberry defeated the Wofford college basket ball five Thursday night by the score-of 22 to 21. Just as the final whistle sounded Haltiwanger tossed a goal fro n foul that ! gave the victory to the Indnns, practically elfcnated Wofford from the race for State championship and assured for the Citadel a clear title to the honor should it win the remainder of its games during the season. It was th'e first defeat sustained by Wofford this season by a South Carolina five. r*nrrf ocf \rne o - ?? no c* iitj.cc unc jiix every respect. The first half ended with the score 13 to 6 in Newberry's ; favor. In the second period the ' Methodists came back strong and ; threatened to win. The spectators :; were kept in a continuous state of excitement and which was relieved ;! only after the final whistle had sounded. It was the best game played yet bv Newberry r^d the Indians ?eem1 ed to have struck their regular stride. : T-v ~ v the work of Ilalti v.;- j:-f?rr-er -.vms oc-st, Jialtj, *vir r" \ 2 points.

It is the j UC UUC V>1 HIV Midwest Uiilitor, a combination trac- ! tor and stationary engine, which will do more work than a horse or mule, and do it better and cheaper; and it runs approximately five cents an Hour. Mr. George W. Summer, Jr., i has the agency for Newberry and i Laurens counties. It strikes us that work with one of these fine "little tricks" would be a pleasure. The Utilitor should sell fast, as it will I I plow, narrow, cultivate, mow the lawn, pull small loads*, or do r.v.y J work that can be dene ' y one ho" ' . r mule, as a tractor; \-.d ra^" wcni, pump water, grin J "ec.?, turn 1 lI one, run separator or churn, or r the ~:crk < f cr.y f .ur-horja per r stationary engine.
