Ward 4 had one vote against threl of the bond propositions but that citizen couldn't vote no against street improvement and better streets got 3very vote in that ward. Frank Devore, Jr., found a left band driver's glove Sunday in front of Red Rock church which he wishes the owner would call for. The glove is a good one lined with wool.

Hal Kt/in sold 42 white carnations Saturday and could have sold double that quantity, but his*supply was exhausted with the sale of, the 42nd carnation. Hal's ;a hustler and berieves in advertising. It pays to advertise. You may have time tonight, Moniay, to see "The Mystery of the Yellow Room" at the opera house, with an all-star cast. A black cat is shown in the picture. And every day is a feature day this week, all with big specials.- _ Manager Wells was forced to increase his prices of admission to the picture shows, owing to the great advance in the cost of the productions: His addition to the price^of tickets is nothing compared to the enormous cost of the pictures. Water is certainly getting to be popular in Newberry. The proposition t<j issue bonds for waterworks ?ot more votes than any of the other propositions submitted in the bond elections. Newberry people are ''wet" advocates when it comes to (vater. Another small boy had to pay $1 for riding bicycle at night without a light, and it cost a citizen $2 in reiorder's court Monday for parking on the wrong side of College street. The authorities say the only way to stop some people from parking on the <vrong side is to fine them. Chief E. L. Rodelsperger got a telegram from Atlanta Saturday advising him to arrest and hold one Leonard Jackson, wanted in that city for skipping bond in a liquor case. The chief arrested the man and locked him up. An officer came from Atlanta Sunday and took the prisoner back to Georgia. 1 One man had his automobile tire fixed at Whitmire and drove his car to Newberry. When he got to the city he had to have the same tire worked on again. All because he had put a piece of iron in the inner tube and didn't kilow it. The tube was cut to pieces. Has anything like that ever been done before? Dogs are being killed right along in Newberry these days, principally by policemen. A few of the dogs were supposed to be mad, but the majority were put out of the way on account of non-payment of taxes. Including old and young, big and little i dogs. Policeman Jno. P. Livingston killed about eighteen. Several cats were also put to sleep. While all the precincts showed up fine in the bond elections on last Friday, Ward 5 went ahead of all of them in the movements for building up Newberry. Every man who could rote with the exception of one voted and he was out of town. The vote was unanimous in favor of all the propositions. "Against" got a goose egg all the way round. Colored baseball is also on the rise in Newberry. One team here bears l!_ ^ L.Ia /\/ \TAt^rUrti?i?rT T?orrla me nxgn name ui incwucii^ jua^iv a Eye.

Death of Mr. Monroe Wicker. / Mr. James Monroe Wicker died on Saturday morning at 4:10 o'clock, at his home in Nance street, this city, after a lingering illness of Bright'* disease, at the age of* 68 years. He wa$ buried in Kosemont cemetery Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, service at the grave by the Rev. L. P. Boland, the Rev. Edward Fulenwider A T T. niol in fliA nratL. aau wiv xvtv # v* u* A/wuvi) iu vuv ? ence of a very large number of friends joining the relatives in mourning the death of a good man, many people from the country and a greater distance being present, as the deceased-was one of the . besfc^ known men of this county. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and~ the pallbearers were: W. A. Hill, R. C. Perry, Dr. J. H. McCullough, S. W. Brown, C. P. Lathan, J. J. Langford, M. M. Satterwhite and Dr. George B. Cromer. Mr. Wicker had been in ill health for about 18 months. He was ?a quiet, unassuming man, respected by all who knew him for his sterling ? ? - i qualities as a citizen ana iixea Decause of his agreeable disposition and friendly nature. He was the son of the late David Wicker of the Beth Eden community and in his active days took prominent part in the affairs of his county. Too young to , be a Confederate soldier he was old enough, although one of the youngest, to be an ardent supporter of the \ Wade Hompton movement for the redemption of South Carolina from radical rule. He was a member of the court house .commission appointed in 1906 and also county su pervisor when the new court house was erected in 1907-08. Mr. Wicker is * survived by his widow, formerly Miss Cornelia Adams, daughter/ of the late James Adams of Mt. Pleasant. He leave* three sons, Mr. J. D. Wicker of this city, Mr. A.

BACK WITH THE CARS There has been a great difficulty in getting cars, that is to say automobiles. Not so much in getting the cars but in getting them shipped from the factory. Freight cars are scarce and , the railroads are all congested and when you buy goods sometimes you have to wait and wait to get the transportation for them. Captain J. William Smith of the Carolina Auto company is selling cars but he could not get them for delivery, so he just went and got OH-the train and traveled to Detroit, that is the great distributing point for all autos, and when he arrived he was told that he could have all the autos he needed if he could get the transportation for them. He at once got Knev a a io fha VtnVkif: MAwV>Arrifl.ns~ and he has had shipped 50 Chalmers arid he saw to the loading of them himself and they are on the way to Newberry. What we are to do with all these cars that are being sold in this country we do not know, but they are coming and they are being sold and the people are riding about. While Captain Smith was away having these Chadmers loaded and shipped Mr. C. N. Booth and the other boys at the office in Newberry sold 17 cars, so it wjH not be long before another trip will be necessary. Mimnaugh is off on his second trip ~~. ' fr 1 1TT.A.1. !
