IJ v the people of the town, however will cooperate with the officials ir charge of the waterworks depart ment, there will be plenty of watei f for drinking and household purpose.' *r>r\ fnr fire protection. cIUU _ _ The town his two reservoirs, wilier are usually kept full for use in case of fire. These reservoirs are nov ^practically full. The water for other purposes comes from the standpipe. The standpipe has a capacity of 12C feet; normally the standpipe carries about 105 feet of water, Since the 4-Vi OT> beginning of the warmer Wcaiuw supply in the standpipe has been con tinually going down. Lately it has been lower than 20 feet. The main well of the town is fur Wishing practically the same amounl ^ of water that it has always furnish ed. But the town has been growing and the people gradually gone to using more water and the supplj is not sufficient for the summer demands. The commissioners of public works have been doing all in theii power for more than a year to gel another welL Work on this well if now progressing fairly well, but i1 will be seme mpnths, even if all goes right, before the new well can be pul , to use. . Superintendent Schumpert is trying his best to get one of the smaller wells, which was formerly in use but was later abandoned, back intc service. The pump for this well was ordered some time ago, but on ac. count of freight conditions it was not received until 'Monday. Ever then a necessary part of the pump did not show up, being lost in transit. Mr. Schumpert is going ahead with the work of putting in this pump and as soon as the lost piece comes it is probable this well will be ready for use. But even this well "will not give all the water that the town could use, but it will help a great deal. commissioners of public i ii.. works some time ago requested uic people not to use water for certain purposes. Most of the people have complied with this reguest, but it has been stated that several have failed to comply. At the meeting of the town council on Wednesday night the matter of the danger of a water famine was put before the council Dy llic vvw missioners and Superintendent Schumpert and the council was requested to pass an ordinance forbidding the use of water for the sprinkling of "gardens, lawns and streets, for th^ washing of automobiles. This ordinance was passed and is published in this issue of The Herald and $ews. The ordinance goes mtu cr .-feet today (Friday). In order to inform the people of this ordinance the mayor had several thousand hand W 'bills printed and distributed through' out the city. The commissioners of public works do not wish the people to pay foi the water they can not use and they Ur>TTO nerved to reduce the minimum 410 1 V -charge, for water from $1.00 pei month to 50 cents per month which reduction is to be of effe ,t from June 1 and will continue until the town is able to supply the people with sufficient water. It is absolutely necessary for the town to keep water for fire purposes. If this is not done the insurance companies will have the right to cancel all fire insurance policies and if they do not cancel them they would certainly raise their rates. Just as soon as the water is sufficiently improved the people will be notified and the restriction placed on the use of water win oe Unless this is done it behooves all of our citizens to be careful with the use of water. If the people will help to save the water it is no doubt that we can get through the situation without having to haul water for drinking and cooking purposes, but we can not waste the water we have. Don't be alarmed by all kinds of reports that may get out. You will * j be kept informed as to the real situation through the newspapers by the proper officials. One report has already been circulated that at a certain time the water would be cut off. This, we hear, caused some people to fill up their bath tubs and other vessels with water. The wattir will not be cut off as long as there is any to run and everybody will have a fair chance. Attention of Candidates. The candidates are requested to meet the chairman and secretary of the executive committee at 10 o'clock, Tuesday morning, June 22, in the court house, for the purpose of determining the order in which the candidates shall speak and the time to be allowed the candidates for each particular office. Lutheran Pastoral Association. The Lutheran Pastoral association of Newberry county is to meet at { Grace church, Prosperity, on Monday \ afternoon, June 21. at 3 o'clock. T P I Secretary. S. C.

'He assured those present that they could count on him and other s I patriotic men of Whitmire to give ? $1,000 at least to this worthy cause > j ?the building up of South Carolina. 31 The meeting Tuesday was primarii j ly for the purpose of organizing subi; committees and teams in the town of - j Newberry and other sections of the J! county, so that every one will be ] given the opportunity during the . week beginning Monday, June 21, of b joining this board. It was called to - order by I. H. Hunt, chairman of the j Newberry county committee, who an? nounced that E. J. Green, as vice r' chairman, will assume active charge . | of the drivp. Kprme+Vt .

Next week will be the time I that people will be invited to join ' and I trust that we will see that Newi berry county maintains her position as one of the leading counties in the : State." !

Convention?Mr. Wicker Suffers Serious Accident?Personal. Whitmire, June 16.?The district Sunday school convention met with us, at Whitmire, last Sunday. Mr, E. E. Child, chairman, presided ovei the meeting and he, Mr. W. H. Sherard, Mr. W. B. Gordon, Mr. J. W. Hipp, Mr. T. H. Watson and Miss Alma Lupo, welcomed us to theii beautiful Y. M. C. A. building, which had been offered for this occasion, and did what they could to add tc I our comfort and pleasure. The music, under the direction of Mr. W. B, Gordon and his choir of trained helpers, was enjoyed by all. . The devotional exercises were conducted by Revs. J. P. Simpson and E. G. Ross. Mrs. H. L. Parr was the first speaker, she has the infanl department. She spoke beautifullj of the early impressions of religion and of the great and lasting value oi devoted godly parents, who train their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Mrs. Pan is well known in the county, as one of our devoted, loyal church and ! bunday school workers. The heart ' of every woman in the audience glowed with pride as we 1. tened to j our sister's sweet words of advice and encouragement. Then came Dr. | Geo. B. Cromer, whose subject was "The Bible the Only True Guide." j We have all heard Dr. Cromer but he is a speaker of whom people never ; grow weary. He is always ready j with a new thought and clothes it in words so appropriate that to listen i is a nlessure. He SDoke of the?1 Bible. the greatest of books, of its history, | its contents, its great value to us and voiced a sentiment that we have long and deeply felt, that this book should be thoroughly taught in the schools. t We were then given an intermission for dinner. We repaired to the banqueting hall upstairs and the lai dies of the different committees arranged the repast. As we partook ' of this sumptuous feast we forgot I for awhile all about the high cost of ! living. The fact, that while you ate, 1 you could be comfortably seated, have an individual plate, a fork or spoon and a glass of ice water, add1 ed ereatlv to comfort on this hot day. After dinner Col. E. H. Aull spoke to us of "Why the Sunday School is No Greater Power Than It Is." We i appreciate Col. AulPs good qualities and'he has done so much to help Whitmire that we are always glad to hear him talk. Among the many good things which he said, he paid a beautiful tribute to the work done by the ministers and our Christian j colleges. He said that these, together with the Christian homes, are holding the nation together just now, and uy vucui) cs^cciau^ tile Wl" . ter, our future power as a nation depends. He agrees with Dr. Cromer "that the Bible should be taught in our schools. As an editor he has an opportunity to push this idea. Mr. Jno. C. Goggans, our efficient clerk of the court and a noble, courteous Christian gentleman, spoke of i "The Adult and the Sunday School." He said that at the beginning the age limit for this institution was from six to 14 years and it seemed hard to get away from that idea, for one of our great problems is to keep the adolescent in the Sunday school. He streesed the tact that our great misr take is in quitting too soon. He stated how many years he had been going to Sunday school and said he had no idea ' of quitting. We could 1 hardly believe Mr. Goggans was that ! old, but decided that his mother carried him to Sunday school in his infancy. j Mr. Arthur Kibler and Dr. W. C. 1 Brown discussed "What Can I Do?" | Mr. Kibler spoke of the poor pay I given preachers, teachers, editors and lawyers and of the invaluable ! /s/Nvwri ktT 4" V\ AYV4 1*1 fV,o scivjn.cs icnucicu uy biicm in wiv* late world s conflict. He reminded the farmers of what they can and must do to feed the world and avoid a famine, and spoke to the cotton mill presidents and operatives, whose part it is to clothe humanity, told of what some rich men are doing for the cause of Christ, of the chaos that would exist without the church and Sunday school and said that all strikes, riots and strife between la bor and capital will end wnen we live by the Golden Rule. Dr. W. C. Brown told of how little some persons who live in Christian communities, know of the Bible and of what we can do to improve these conditions. He cited certain cases of what an individual has done, especially the case of Miss Pinkie Lee Estes, thus showing what we all ; might do if we would only use the j talents which God has given. We I enjoyed having our Newberry friends with us and hope they will be like ! Col. Aull, who says he doesn't need | a very good excuse to make him nn Vioro Knt nnrnp* nt pverv OO Vty UVAW ? w ^ 4 i portunity. Now friends you missed j a treat when you missed this Sunday school convention. Don't miss the next one. We wish to thank the speakers for the excellent addresses made by them.

Although the convention did not concur in the recommendation of the executive committee looking toward :fte withdrawal 01 tne souin uaronnai branch from the national orjaniza;ion, it passed resolutions commending thsm for their zeal in endeavoring to maintain strict adherence toj ;he basic principles underlying the j birwh of the American Legion; and condemning in the strongest terms possible the activities that the national executive committee is making ind has been making with regard to asking for legislation. in its selfish interests. The question whether the ex-service man is due a bonus, or extra compensation at the hands of the government was not considered. But from the outset there was no question as to how the convention stood .vith regard to the legion asking or naking . demands of congress for a ^onus for the able bodied veterans. It was a splendid convention. One could not help but be favorably imjressed with the personnel that composed it. The discussions were of a ligh order, and the business of the convention was dispatched with alacrity and thoroughness. In f?t the ielegates from post No. 24 were so mpressed with the convention that ;hey decided that it would be a good ;hing for Newberry and our post to lave it meet with us next year. Accordingly an invitation was extended :o have the next convention in Newterry, and it was accepted. Greenville also put in a bid for the lext convention, and along with the nvitation from the Greenville post letters were read from the- Young Hen's Business League, tho chamber >f commerce, the Rotary eJub and ;he Kiwanis club of that city, urging :he convention to come to Greenville n 1921. But Newberry was chosen is the next convention city. There nust be a reason. Post ?*o. 24 feols confident that the good people of dewberry will see to it that the lerionaires shall not be disappointed n their choice. aREAT INTEREST IN HEALTH UNIT PICTURES Dr. Finney, the new county health >iiicer, is having great success with lis meetings at the school houses, here being large crowds out to see ;he pictures and get health hints. )r.

The announcement is made by tint directors that Mr. Loyd W. Maxwell* the young man who was down to? Newberry a short time ago to fconfer with the board has signified his ac* \ ceptance of the offer and it is ex-* pected that he will enter upon the duties of the position about the first of July. He comes to Newberry from Washington and has had experience in the work of chambers of commerce and is highly recommended and it fs hop- , ed soon to see the chamber actively at work for the town and county. There are many things that can be done for the good of the community by organized effort. NOT TO SELL BONDS NOW DECISION OF COMMISSION At a recent meeting of the bond commission of Newberry it was de? cided not to s&ll the bonds of the 1 town for'street improvement, sewerage. lis'ht and water extensions, at the present time. This action was taken by the commission after a con- % ference with Mayor Eugene S. Bleasa because the bond market is considerably off at this time. Newberry bonds usually bring about par, for i the town has always, taken care promptly of its bonded debts and interest thereon. All bonds are selling lew at thia time, even Liberty b) lii Mayor Blease and he aldermen are anxious to get to work on the paving of some streets and the commissioners of public works would like to go ahead with the new s werage, water and light extensions, but they all agree that it would be unwise to sell the town bonds at sacrifice prices, especially when all the - . ? * money voted, ana more, too, wouia be needed for the public improvements desired. Therefore, these gentl&nen have concurred in the action of the bond commissioners in net placing the bonds - ?i the marke*, at this time. Wright-FUher. . j .
