At half-past eight the hall was filled with friends of Miss Jones and with lovers of music, and neverin Newberry has there been such an, appreciative and eager audience as that one. The stage was particularly attrac- J tive in potted ferns with large silver i ?

The Glee Club was quite a success, j and also a musical surprise to most j people, delighting the audience with ; its singing. Newberry is proud to have such a Glee Club. But of course everyone present is congratulating Miss Jones for the beautiful music with which she charmed her audience and the p*eat ability and efficiency with which she carried out her program. Each number showed careful? j_ i tr i.: 1 L I stuuy axzu appucatiuii in ner part a a i a pupil as well as the painstaking and praise worthytefforts of M.' i Margaret Burton as a teacher.

That was good news a to all the friends of the school, but j a it was not really news to those who have kept in touch with this cbmmu- d nity, because the school spirit nas ai-1 u ways been of the very best, and j S where that condition exists the work j t? is obliged to be satisfactory.

Three negro boys?Julius Cannon J Clarance Williams and Henry Wil-j liams, each paid $5 in the recorder's, court Wednesday for indulging in the j pasttime of fighting.

We are "in the midst" of the great Redpath chautuaqua; hope everybody will make the most of it. Like Christmas and several other "things" it comes only once a year.

Vagrants have to pay or work in Newberry. The latest one before the recorder was James Allen, colored, who answered to the roll call on Wednesday morning. He was allowed the choice of giving $5 to the city or taking 10 days out in work. When we looked into the matter yesterday the appearances were that James Allen would work under Supervisor Joe W. Werts, along Harrington or some other street. The Peak and the St. Johns school districts have mutually agreed to consolidate into one district and to have two separate sets of trustees to manage each school sftnaratelv atiH to divide the corporate wealth between the two schools. Superintendent C. M. Wilson went to Peak on Wednesday and met with the patrons of the two districts and effected the arrangement and by this arrangement there can be maintained at each place a good school with adequate funds to operate it. J. C. Whitener wrote his uncle, Jack Gilliam, the barber, to send him a copy of a Newberry paper, as he wanted to see one. It was a most natural thing for the request to be handed The Herald and News reporter, everything of that nature coming his way. We will send Whitener a copy of this issue to Columbus, New Mexico, where he has been ever since the end of the Spanish-American war. He is a member of the Q. M. D. in that far-away country.

The fire alarm at about 8 o'clock Monday night took the company to the burniiig residence of Mr. Miles Player out from Glenn street in the Mollohon mill village. When the fire boys arrived on the scene the house was too far gone to be saved, as the roof had fallen in; in fact the roof was falling in when the alarm was sounded, it is said.

I The upper story in the old court *hrtiic6 t*? o o kaan 4-n 4-a American Legion, and permission has been "ranted to make some repairs in it. It is the purpose of the legion to fit up the two jury rooms for reading and writing rooms, and for games, such as chess, checkers and cards. A lavatory and shower bath will be installed in the middle room. A floor will be put down in the main hall, the walls calcimized for holding the regu- / lar meetings of the post, athletic sports such as volley ball and basket XVI. gltlllg CUKlMllUlilCIlW, XUC holding social gatherings to which we can invite our friends and relatives, and for other forms of amusement sanctioned by the entertainment com* mittee. When the proposition of financing the improvements desired came up before the post for discussion, it was unanimously decided that contributions would not be solicited outside the membership of the legion. When subscriptions were . called for from flftni" flta msnnnea. nraa nnotiiiWAmi AAVVJ. y VUV A vwJj/vmOV YT CM UiAOlililiVUtf ?every member present subscribed \ to the fund. A committee was appointed to visit the members not at the meeting, and the men seen so far have responded almost to a man. The committee now has about $1,000.00 subscribed. Included in this amount are several contributions that came unsolicited from citizens outside of the legion. These contributions are appreciated all the more because of that fact. In addition to the above the following donations have been received by V?n nnnl. ' ?/ / |/VOV? u I From the Newberry chapter, A.R. C., iwo tables, a stove, and other fixtures in the hall, and $50.00 in cash to purchase papers and magazines for the reading rooms; from the Rest Room a stove for one of the reading rooms; from the Newberry Lumber company $85.00 oh our. lumber bill. Post No. 24 now has 150 members. Reckoning the other 5 posts in the county with 100 members, this will give Newberry county 250 legionaires. But there are still a number 1 J 1^^ oi iormer servce men wno snouia oe in the legion. The membership in the United States now numbers over one million five, hundred thousands, and is steadily growing every day. May 17-22 has been proclaimed as the American Legion membership "Push" throughout the nation. Although this post is not going to put on an active campaign for new members, it shall be glad to have all of the men who are eligible to membership join one of the posts in the county. Only those are eligible to membership who sw?it7od linnnrshlv in t.VlP ArmV. NaW or Marine Corps for any length of time between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1919. The slogan of the American Legion is service?service to community, state and country; service to humanity. It is not a military organization, is non-partisian and non-political. Membership blanks may be obtained from Hal Kohn, commander of Post No. 24. Wilson?You can say wnat you luce about Goodfellow, but he's as straight as a piece of strings Walters?Yes> and just as easily brojke.
