The appointment of Dr. Smith was unanimously approved by j the council and he will soon be sworn in. The health board will soon hold a meeting to elect a chairman in the I place of the late deceased chairman, j The other members of the board are j Dr. R. L. Mayes, Dr. Geo. K.

The Lady Straphanger?"In all my affairs I insist on standing on the footing of men." The Mere Man?"I wish you'd divide your attention. For the last ten blocks you've stood on my footing alone." BIG SUBSCRIPTION C WEDNESDAY AS All Subscriptions Must be Plat fore the Closing Hour. Contes The big subscription drive which has been running for the past month will jome to a close as the clock in The Herald an'd News office strikes eight on next Wednesday, May 5th. All contestants are still confident of victory and none have as yet conceded defeat, but all are working untir ingly in order to oe tnc winner ox me grand capital prize, the handsome Cleveland Six. During , the closing period the vote schedule as announced at the opening of the contest will be in effect, no extra votes at'all being allowed. Thus a one year subscription which averaged 15,000 votes the opening period, and 10,000 votes the second period counts 5,000 now. The race "promises to be very close as contestants should not 'become overconf dent of the result but should .put forth every effort during this the closing week, as it would be better to win by a million votes thari to lose by a thousand. Don't be compelled ' " J1 1 to say? ciii0r trie vutfs nave uccu courted and the prizes awarded, "If I had only worked a little harder I would have been the winner." The closing rules of the campaign as announced in the last issue of The Herald and News are that each contestant shall place all subscriptions taken during the closing week in a sealed envelope with their name on the outside and droo into the sealed ballot box at The Herald and News office. These reports may be made any time prior to 8 p. m. Wednesday evening but care should be taken to have them in at. least one minute before eight as the judges will not count any votes turned in after the clock has struck the closing hour. Cash must accompany any and all subscriptions placed in the ballot box as checks will not be accepted and PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS FROM WHITMIRE. TOWN Whitmire, April 2b.?Rev. J. J.

Mrs. Elizabeth Douglass was called to Abbeville a few days ago, on account of the serious illness of her hrnfhpr-in-law.

Mrs. Hanna of Chesterfield is spending awhile with her daughter, Mrs. Tom Young. The new boy is named James. Mrs. Charles Hanna and children, who have also been at Mr. Young's, have returned to Saluda. This is "Clean Up" week with us. A vigorous campaign is on looking to the improvement and beautifying of our little city. The Glenn-Lowry company has offered several prizes, varving from ten dollars and down ward, for the largest number ot tm cans collected and the cleanest and best kept premises. At a meeting of Miss Lupo's Bible class in the Y last Sunday afternoon it was decided to go into summer quarters. When the class has finished the book, which they have been studying, these lessons will be discontinued for a season. Mr. Eugene Nance of Lexington, N. C., has returned from a short visit to his mother, Mrs. E. C. Nance, ?from an at WHO IS t v-v, v '"c tack of Flu. The Glenn-Lowry team played Clinton on the Whitmire diamond Saturday, April 24th.

The judges appointed to count 1 the votes will be announced in the ' next issue of The Herald and News. 1 It has been the object of the man-, agement of this campaign to make this absolutely fair to all contestants, and to eliminate all objectional fea- ; turesi This we believe has been done 1 1 1 1? J1? J-L ? Tirlll J dll(l UflQOUDteciiy irie lunicaiaia nnu have worked the hardest will certain* ly be rewarded handsomely when the votes have been counted. To eliml-j nate speculation and auction the votes of the contestants have not been pubI lished -for the pa& two issues of the campaign and will never be publishj ed until the campaign has been dei clared closed by the judges. As an| nounced previously no one, the coni test editor, the publisher, nor any j ore else will have any idea how many j votes any contestant obtains the \ closing week. The reason for this is J obvious as no contestant will be able ! to say that any discrimination was | i shown by any one connected with the j' i campaign. i The campaign has proven a success j ; far beyond the expectations of the | management and as a result the cir' culation of the paper has practically Jbeen doubled, and each and every person now receiving The Herald and i News is a bona fide subscriber with j his subscription paid in advance. This ; kind of circulation is certainly. Ihe most valuable for the advertisers and although naner and other materials ! used in printing a newspaper is higher than ever ard very hard to get the . publisher? of The Herald and News 'will continue to accept advertising contracts at the old rate until May 15th when the rates will necessarily be increased.

DI UUlva <X naiiu n vivumv. | We were lucky, that during the absence of Mr. Brooks, we secured the i services df Mr. Riser, a senior from | Newberry college, to teach for us. Mr. Riser has proven himself capable and competent as a teacher and quickly won the love and esteem of his pupils. We are glad Mr. Brooks has recovered and welcome him back to his work, but I musn't tell you which heart will be the saddest when Mr. Riser is gone. Miss Alma Lupo has a large sewing class of girls, down at the Y., who have made some pretty table covers, dresser scarfs, etc. These ?irls expect to know how to maice home beautiful and to be independent of the dress maker som eday. Miss Lupo also has a class in basketry and if you haven't seen the beautiful baskets of all shapes and sizes, why, you should go and see them. The home of Mr. William Duckett, on upper Main street, was totally destroyed by fire last Thursday. By the heroic work of oui^ men other houses near were saved from a similar fate. The house was insured, but a little insurance will not go far/ in building a house now. Some of the furniture and housenoici goods ,werc saved. "Nita^' NEWBERRY DOWNS FAST ERSKINE TEAM j Luther Pitches Masterful Game and Holds Heavy Sluggers at His Mercy. In one of the prettiest games of the season Newberry defeated the fast team from Erskiiie college at Due West by the score of 4 to 1. This is the first game the Erskine j team has lost this season but it'was! a case of too much Lusher for the i j visitors as the local pitcher had the ! I visitors at his mercy during the game, | I and the few hits which were secured j off his delivery were well scattered^ j and the locals were in danger in only" | two innings, the 6th in which Phillips I scored from first on a long hit by j Agnew and in the eighth when the | locals made a fast double after / i Henry had hit safe to center. j i Newberry secured all of its runsj j in the first inning. In this inning i three hits combined with two errors j | gave the locals four runs. After this ; | Henry pitched a masterful game al- j i lowing only two other hits, both in the | . i seventh, but these hits were wasted I as Phillips started a fast double j which retired the side, i The features of the game besides . the pitching of Luther was the work of the Shealy brothers at the bat, i and the superb catching of Agnew \ for the visitors. The tall catcher caught the prettiest game seen on j the local diamond in some time. In fact neither team was able to register a single stolen base as Cromer also i t GETTING READY FOR MEMORIAL DAY i Dinner to Veterans on Wednesday, j May 12?Gov.

NEWBERRY WINS ANOTHER Indians Bat Four Elon Pitchers Hard And Win Six to Nothing?Derrick Allows Only Two Hits. ' The locals added another, scalp to their belt on Tuesday when they defeated the Elon team on a muddy diamond by the score of 6 to 0. The game was much more interesting than the score would indicate as the Elon team is one of the fastest defensive 1 .n. I _ 1 teams seen nere inis year axiu, snun that they have been well coached as they resorted to more inside baseball than' the usual college team. Although the game was delayed for half an hour by a drizzling rain the game was fast and snappy throughout and was thoroughly enjoyed by the small crowd who braved the elements to see the game. It was Newberry's game from the start as practically every member of the team had his hitting clothes on and the merry fusilade of' home runs, two baggers, and singles continued until three opposing pitchers * * > I had Deen driven to cover a^u mc fourth, an infielder substituted. F. Shealy led the onslaught, getting a home run, a two bagger, and a single in three trips to the plate. Cromer also came in for his share with two singles r.nd A. Shealy also hit well. F. Shealy sectored the first run for the locals with one of the longest drives ever seen on the local diamond, the ball going over the center field fence. F. Shealy followed with a hit to right, and Cromer then connected with a fast one and drove the ball over the right field fence, only to have it hit a wire and rebound into the diamond. The drive scored Shealy however for the second score. The locals secured one more in the sixth and tnree more in the eighth when the Elon team seemingly went up in the air.

The trouble was of a domestic nature. The wounded man was shot in the side. Cromer came in Wednesday and surrendered to the sheriff. The doctor has not had time to decide as to the seriousness of the wound. caught an excellent game. The only bad feature of the game was the brand if umpiring inflicted. Although Umpire Smith was impartial, his calling of strikes and balls was very much off color and both sides had plenty of opportunities to complain.

TWO ACTS AUTHORIZING VOTE ON ROAD BONDS NEWBERRY The Two Acts Conflict in Several Particulars?Both Approved the wki.k i k/ail?? f VT IltVII Jk 9 MU WW The Herald and News is printing the two acts passed by the last legislature relating to road bonds for Newberry county. ~ One of the acts ^ relates exclusively to the matter of bonds for road building, while the other carries a bond act for road building and also provides, that in the event the bonds should fail for a new system of county government by a set of commissioners for the man-, agement of the county. | Both are printed here and the cit| izen may read each and see for him self just how the delegation has done . the job. One provides no compensation for the commission at all, and directs the commission to employ a civil engineer and such assistants as he may need, and to fix the compensation, and provides that the bonds shall bear an interest not to exceed six per cent. And directs that the notice of election shall be printed in "a newspaper" in the county, and that the managers of election shall wfHiniTt- rnmnpnsat.iftri Tt. also directs that the election shall be ordered by the commission authorized in another act, which we suppose is the act passed and approved by the governor on the same date. The other act which also carries a provision for a system of county government in the event the bonds fail, provides for bonds not to exceed five per cent, and for compensation for the commissioners, each live dollars per day except the chairman who shall receive $500 per annum. The per diem is not to exceed thirty days in any one year. The commission also fixes the compensation of the engineer and assistants > and in this' act the county supervisor is to order the election *and the notice is to be published in one or more newspapers in the county, and tfoe managers are to serve without compensation. Both acts provide the man. of ?elHng the bonds and the ways s to the handling of the funds and give authority to lay out roads and to condemn property for the purpose of relocating the roads. The question it seems to- us of some importance is under which act is the election to be held. Both are approved by the governor/ on the same day and in the one the commission created in the other is to order the election and in the other the county supervisor is to order the election. This is a very important matter and it would seem that a matter involving the issue of bonds for the county to the amount of $400,000 should have been given a little more careful consideration by the legislature so that there may have been no uncertainty about any part of it. One of the acts it seems to us deals with two very important and distinct propositions, but as the title reads 'Relating to Newberry County" and as both of the matters relate to Newberry county we suppose there is r:j defect here, but in so important a matter' as changing the whole system of county government and the issuing of bonds by the county to t;he amount of $400,000 there should have been a little more care taken in the oreDaration and passage of the laws relating to the same so ,that there may have been no doubt as to the meaning of the law. The matter relating to the change of the system of county government is added to the one act relating to bonds, and both come under the title "Relating to Newberry County.'* This part of the act provides that in place of the county supervisor and three county commissioners ther& are to be twelve county commissioners, One from each township. Their compensation is fixed at $5 per 1 * j:? on ??? aay ior noi exceeumg ou uaja m any one year except that the chairman may be allowed pay for 14 days extra if the exigencies of the situation require it in the opinion of the commissioners. The commissioners are permitted to employ a supervisor, or rather required to employ one, who mav be paid a salary not exceeding $3,000 a year. # The question of building roads is one of the most important before the ' ""J nortnlu ora people touay anu uic X. v ready and willing: to pnt up the money for the roads if there can be reasonable assurance that the road9 will be built after the money is put p. And another and very important matter in the same connection and part of it is that there mu?t be i some provision made for the proper maintenance of the roads after they are built, became if there is not the money spent in the building is money thrown to the birds. We are sorry that the acts passed by our legislature have the appearance of a lack of care and pains in ? ?j ? ; ? cneir prepar<tLiuii aim aw impunant ?? matter as this should have had a careful and painstaking and thoughtful preparation. As it is it does not r.Dne.ar cl^nr to us-jo?t where we } are at in this matter. Nor just what
