I Washington, June 3.?A bill pro-j xriding for reduction of the salary of ! President of the United States fromj $75,000 to $50,000 a year was intro-j duced today by Senator Smith, Demo-j crat, of Georgia. Senator Smith also introduced a resolution propos-j ing an amendment to the Consiitu-j tion which would limit the president; to one term of six years. | ? i London's new postmaster, Mr. C. I C. Sanderson, who has charge of thelr.r7e.-t postal ar?a in the world,! with something like 35,000 workers' under him, began his career in the' service as a postal clerk 40 years ago.' VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. I Mr. Clarence D. Folk, son of Mr.! and Mrs. W. H. Folk of Pomaria, is' in Kansas City attending Sweeney's j Automobile school. After taking the! regular course he will take a special course in the traction engine branch 1 of the industry. Graduated automo-} bilists are needed in this great and growing business, as all throughout; | the nation there are too many cob-j biers working at the trade, j Mr. Thomas 0.

The flies seem to be more numerous this year than usual. Two farmers met the other day in a store in this city. One said he wanted rain, the other said he didn't. Even the Lord can not please everybody at the same time, so what's the use for a preacher or a newspaper man, or anyone else, trying to do the impossible. A good way is, do right according to your dictates, and do your best, let it please or displease. You have noticed that the agency - 1 i - ? i; I or tne DUeni /liaiuu xctiui ngui. anu power plant in this county has been taken by the Newberry Electric company. This is one of the best things going. If people generally knew the advantages in labor saving and expense reducing to be had by the "Silent Alamo" these plants would be thick throughout the country. The medal for the best drilled boy j at the Newberry high school stays in the Hipp family. Harold Hipp " won it last year and Everett Hipp I captured the prize at the contest Tuesday morning. Well, we have the moving picture < shows with us. They are good : enough, and a great deal better than lots of other entertainments. City council has authorized the proper committee to see about ordering summer uniforms for the police force. Sa>s the Cross Hill correspondent; of the Laurens Advertiser, in report- \ ing the graduating exercises of that school last week: "Miss Lizzie L. Griffin, who has finished her twelfth succe<*~ive year as teacher of the - primary grades, was presented witn a beautiful silver vase by the school as a token of the esteem in which she is held because of her faithful service and exemplary life." A well deserved compliment worthily bestowed. The author began with, the first subscription taken at p, ^ preacher's home in Newberry county during a meeting of the presbytery and traced the history on down to the present day. Mrs. Lindsay held in her handthat first subscription list.?From the Woman's College commencement report in Due West Associate Reformed Presbyterian, after introduc tion of Mrs. W. i*. Lindsay 01 t^narlotte, a former dean of the college, who made an address. Miss Marie Wendt is making her home in Wilmington; N. C., with her brother. Mrs. Wendt and Miss Kathleen will go there after commencement of Newberry college next week. Mr. J. R. Tilley and family are moving to the large house occupied by Mrs. W. H. Wendt and others, cornor of Johnstone and Wilson streets, as Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Summer will move to their home in Summer street, vacated by the Tilleys. Mr. L. F.

Livingston & Son, of which firm he is the junior member and a salesman. Hej was needed at the store, as Miss! Mary and her father have been having more than they could do with the rush of customers. Mr. Aubrey Tilley is now with the! Newberry Drug company, where he; will be pleased to dispense soft J ;drinks, etc., to his many friends, as' well as to mere acquaintances and entire strangers who might happen to drop in. I?? A Pretty Little Romance. "How Nellie Met Her Fate," would be a good title for a moving picture. During the recent contest through; The Herald and News Miss Nellie McCarey, or that was her name then, was on her way to Greenwood to solicit subscriptions for the paper, working for one of the prizes; at which she was successful. On the train was a gentleman who became i I so attracted by the beauty and grace j I of the young lady that he just had j I to smile. She saw the smile, which j encouraged the smilee to approach the'smiler, the same being in her, legitimate line of business at that time. Says "Miss Nettie*' very! pleasantly to the interested passenger: "it will cost you something to. smile at me like that; I am taking! subscriptions for The Herald and News." It worked like a charm. With! another and a longer smile the! traveler handed the charming younglady $10. telling her to, send the j paper to whomsoever she wanted to ' have them. Our readers know the rest, how thi winning: ways won, and everything because in the last issue of this pape it was related that the bride am groom, after the marriage ceremon; had gone on their honeymoon trip the bride in this cdse being "Mis Nellie'' and the groom Mr. Rolam B. Focht, traveling out of Akron Ohio. THE HOGE SCHOOL. (Written for The Herald and News.

Both the principal and Mr. Williams emphasized the necessity of encouraging the young men to attend school. Not one young man finished with the class this year, and so fai there is not one in the class for next J . . The patrons were asked to cooperate with the teachers in everj way possible in order that the schoo may be brought to a higher standard A large attendance for the higl school was urged in order that ou; high school may receive State aid At present children from the county who are in the high school classes 'v -frv psy tnrcc uuii<tu> pci uiunuii tuition.

"Flames of% the Desert," the lates Goldwyn Picture starring Geraldin* Farrar and Lou Tellegen, will be see] at the opera house on Wednesday. Romantic love appeal and politica intrigue form the basis of this re markable story. The Egyptian de sert peoples invoke the curse o Allah against foreign infidels and plo to overthrow cntisn ruie ju An uprising of this sort, however, ha: been suspected, and for years Skeil Essad (Lou Tellegen) in reality j British army officer, has lived amonj the people of the Sahara and learne< of their plans.

Mr. Brown sail that the Woman's college had givei to the state the very finest type o Christian womanhood. Continue thu to send out this fine type of woman hood and the state will have occasio: to say: God bless the Woman' college. Mr. Brown was for year state superintendent of one sectioi of her school work and had fine op portunity to know of the education al work of the state. Mr. Brown is ; very pleasing speaker.
