WATER SITUATION SERIOUS;
PEOPLE SHOULD COOPERATE
The water situation in Newberrj
.is getting to be quite serious. 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.

The candidates are requested to
meet the chairman and secretary of
the executive committee at 10

THE NEWS OF WHITMIRE.
Fine Meeting Township S. S. 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

We wish to thank the speakers for
the excellent addresses made by
them. They have stirred up our
thoughts and that will help us brighti
en our town and make it a better
place to live in. You may join with1^
us in giving thaak3 to Messrs. E. E.

AMERICAN LEGION STANDS J
FIR MON PRINCIPLES
If the good people of South Carolina
have had any doubts as ?to
whether the South Carolina branch
Df the Amreican Legion would adlere
to the principles of unselfishness
md patriotism upon which it was
founded, that doubt was dispelled at
;he second annual State convention
iust held in Spartanburg.
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.

SECRETARY OF CHAMBER
COMMERCE HAS ACCEPTED!
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.
