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

Mr. Riser has proven himself capable

We are glad Mr. Brooks has recovered

Miss Alma Lupo has a large sewing

them.

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

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.

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
