NEW COUNTY SCHEMES INTEREST NEWBERRY Propositions Involved by Which Coun ty would Gain from Lexington and Lose to "MnsgroTe." Newberry, Oct. 26.?A party of Newberrians went down to Chapln yesterday in autos to talk with the citizens there about the proposed ad dition of that portion of Lexington county to Newberry. In the party were Fred H. Domlnlck, H. L. Parr. Jno. M. Klnard, Cannon G. Dlease. Eugene S. Werts. W. B. Waldrop. C. E. Summer of Newberry and Dr. C. T. Wyche of Prosperity. Forty or fifty of the citizens of Chapln met with the Newberry party in the school building. Win. M. Wilson of Peak was chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Frick was secretary. The New berry delegation assured the meet ing that they would be delighted to welcome the people of Chapln into the county and thought it would be a matter of mutual benefit if they should come in. Tho Chapln men had very little to say In the meeting. Charles P. Robinson made a short talk, in which he said that he had not thought much auout the matter and had not made up his mind about it and did not know how he would vote were the proposition submitted. That appeared to express pretty cor rectly the feeling in Chapln. On mo tion the chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of five to can vass the situation and ascertain the feeling of the territory proposed to be cut off into Newberry and to as certain as far as practicable the wishes of the people Interested; this committee to be appointed at the leis ure of the chairman and to make report to a subsequent meeting. The committee will ascertain as far as it can what portion of the people wish to remain with Lexington, what portion wish to become a part of Rich land and what portion wish to come into Newberry. There has been talk some time among the people of Peak and the ad jacent country of asking for an elec tion on the question of voting that portion of Lexington into Newberry, and the sentiment there is said to be strongly in favor of the change, the main question now being as to how to run the line westward from Hroad river towards Saluda. Another county scheme Is interest ing the people here. The people of Clinton are very aggressiv and earn est in pushing their scheme of - the proposed ney county of Musgrove, with Clinton as the capital. To get the necessary 100 suuare miles, they will have to cut pretty deep into New berry county. Tlwy have already made a survey of a line from Enoree river to Saluda?a straight line about 30 miles long, cutting of! a strip of Newberry about throe miles mide, in cluding In this strip Whltmlre, KT nards, Belfast, Dominicks, Garys. Longshore. Vaughanvllle and so on. Under the State constitution, not more than 94 square miles can be taken from Newberry as it now stands, and the Cllntonians seem disposed to take "all the law allows," Newberry's pres ent area is 594. and no old county can be reduced to less than 5>00. Of course Newberry does not wish to lose any portion of the county, and would be especially sorry to lose such a line part as that embraced in the "Mus grove county" survey. The cotton market was lively today: In fact, for the past three days there has been a lot of cotton sold here? averaging 500 bales a day. We have just received a handsome line of Davenport Beds in mahogany, Koldea oak and mission finishes, price reasonable. S. M. & E. H. WILKES & CO. Dr. T. L.

Woodrow Wilson has refused emphatically to accept contributions to his Campaign Fund from the Interests, from corrupting influences, from any questionable sources. He has given us, the Democratic National Committee, to understand that he will go into the White House with clean hands or not at all. Who Is Getting The Money of The Trusts? So sure has been Wilson's stand, so well known his incor ruptible purpose, that no private interests have dared to approach either our candidate or his committee. Wc h ive not been offered a penny by the trusts, and we certainly have not solicited a penny Irom thctn. The money of the interests is being spent againtt WiUon.
