crty during the present labor difficulty.

FIRST RACE
CALLED OFF
Reliance and Shamrock
III Fail to Come to
Conclusions.
LIPTON'S YACHT OUT
First Half of Course
Covered With Re-
lance in Lead.

New York. Aug. @O.-The Shamrock has
Withdrawn. The race has been officially
declared off.
New York, Aug. 2O.-When the pre-
paratory signal was fired at 1926 to-
day for the defender Reliance and the
challenger Shamrock Ill. to get ready
to sail the first race in the 18th series
of contests for the Americas cup. the
wind was blowing only three knots
per hour.
The light wind and rather rough
sea was considered favorable to the
Shamrock. Today's course was 10
miles To windward and return, to be
sailed to south of southwest.
The unofficial time OF the start was
Shamrock 11:OO: 81, Reliance 11:O1:26.
At Hip the yachts had sailed about
mile. The Shamrock leads by a
short distance.
Noon-The boats are on even terms.
They are heading direct for the mark.
y heavy shower is passing.
1920 p. m.-The wind has changed.
The Reliance is now i'm a windward
position, and leads by 10 yards.
12:4O-The boats are on the port
tack. the Reliance leading by 200
yards The Shamrock is to leeward
and is footing faster than the Reli-
ance, but not pointing SO high. The
rain has stopped and the wind is six
knots.
The Reliance apparently turned the
outer mark at 3:3T:25.
Time Allowance Increased.
New York, Aug. 20.-Shamrock II:
was remeasured yesterday. the result
showing that the Reliance viii have to
give her one minute and 81 seconds
time allowance. This is II seconds
more than the allowance as figured at
first.
Despite the big time allowance
which the defender must concede to
the challenger. the friends of the Re
lance are extremely confident that
Sir Thomas is again doomed to de-
feat. and the confidence in the Amer
lean boat is reflected in the betting,
where the odds are to l on the Reli-
ance. The friends of the British boat,
on the other hand, profess the great
est faith in the ability of Flies latest
creation to lift the cup
Conditions of Race.
According to the rules. the first
race Will be II nautical miles to wind
ward or Ieeward and return, depend
ing upon the direction of the wind.
After that each alternate race will be
over triangular course, 10 miles to
the leg. The next race will be sailed
Saturday and the third next Tuesday,
and thereafter every other day until
the series is completed. The first
yacht in three out Of five contests
will be the winner.&
According to therules, if the course

quently asserted, that unless it shall
interpOse its strong arm the guilty may
escape punishment through a lax ad-
ministratiOn of the criminal law, or in
difference to its enforcement on the
part of the people themselves. The very
excuse offered is Il reflection on the
community itself where the crime has
been committed, and the remedy lies
not in the people themselves over
riding the law but in the people upheld

appeal to their patriotism, their good
sense. their innate love of justice and
respect for Order-Qualities which are
seldom, if ever, invoked in vain.
Remedy Worse Than the Disease,

punished by such irresponsible tribun-

remedy will be found to be worse than
the disease.
Duty of United States Citizens.
1.-THE duty of every American citizen
who lives his country and her free in

in the creation of Il healthy public
sentiment which should demand that
no person charged with crime shall

shall permanently float; and every
man. whether white or black, native

ganize good road association.
Supervisor Mcbride has called meet
ing at Florence to organize such an as
sociation for this county, for Monday,
the 18th day Of March, at 10 O'Clock
a. m. Owing to the fact that the
county court house will be occupied by
the Circuit Court on that day, the meet
ing will be held in the Florence city
council chamber. Supervisor Mcbride,
whose whole heart is in this great work
of bettering the condition of our county
roads, earnestly urges all persons in
the county who are in any way inter
lStcd in good roads to be present. -
Florence Reform Advocate.
The good work is going on in each
county and we hope the sentiment will
SO crystalize by the next session of the
Legislature that the members may un-
dcrstand that the people are willing tC
have good roads even though they cost
something. We DO not want to sec
Newberry behind in this great reform
movement. Let us as;itate and give oul
representatives to understand that w,
want ways and means devised by which
we can secure some road work that will
be worth something. There is not ;
man in this county who travels the
roads at all who would be unwilling t,
pay five or ten dollars wear for poo(
roads, and it would be the best invest
ment ne could make. And those VIII,
live in town and seldom travel the road
would be willing to help pay for then
because it would be good invcstmen
for them.

Our contemporary, The Observer, pub
lished local a short time ago in which
1t spoke of the price of mules, and csti-
mated that the amount spent for mules
up to this time This season "will foot up
from SIS, 900 to 1856, 00O." And the fol-
lowing statement was made: "With
good roads farmers could save $25 to
$50 apiece on the first cost of their
mules. - The bad roads making it i'm
practicable to do the hauling with small
mules. This is all too true and yet this
would be only very small part of the
saving which would come to the farm
ers by good roads. Good roads would
put them nearer to market and make
it practicable for the farmer who lived
ten to fifteen miles from the court
house to sell his eggs and butter and
chickens and vegetables and other
things he might grow on his farm at a
profit because he would lose less time
in going to and from the court house.
Now, then, why not join hands and
help us to show the people the mpor-
tance and advisability and the business
judgment of issuing county bonds and
getting the money with which to build
and permanently improve the public
highways. 1t is the only way by which
we can get any results and will take no
more taxes than to go along patching
year after year The farmers could
make no better investment than money
put in permanent road work. 1t will
pay the towns and cities and all others
whether farmers or not. If we could
only get started and do little road
building there would be no trouble in
carrying on the work. 1t is the most
important question before us now.

THE NEwBERRY HERALD NEWS, MARCH ~ 1903

and continue it all along the way.
Joseph's faith was known by his life.
The world is looking at us and that is
the way the world tells. Faith in God
must be lived. Though the profess
ions are crowded, there never has been
day in the history of the nation or of
the world when there was greater OPP
portunity for young men, if they are
young men of integrity, of faith in God
and who live that faith, young men
who are true to their own manhood,
who are true to that which is true.
The young man the world wants is a
young man of faith, and the opportuni
ty is present if the young man will but
learn the lesson that faithfulness in
little things leads to faithfulness in the
great.
The speaker traced the life of Jacob,
speaking of temptations through which
he passed successfully, of the moral
crisis which was passed, making to the
tempter response in the single word,
God, the only way in which any temp
tation can be met; of his faithfulness
during his prison life, when there was
no one with him but God; of his life
when suddenly elevated to the dizzy
height of power. He had been tested
and had come forth pure gold. Would
he stand this other test? Many a man
has stood the test of poverty and then
in mansion has forgotten the God of
his boyhood days. Though Joseph was
next to Pharaoh in power, he forgot
not his God He was true to Him. He
was true to the teachings Of his mother
who loved him and the father whom he
loved, and he was able to show himself
the man upon the throne that he had
been in prison. The need of us all is
that principle of fidelity to our own
manhood and faithfulness to God shown
in our faithfulness in the doing of the
little things of life. One by one ap-
plying the lessons make the application
for yourself. In business, in home
life, in the duties which come to us in
the busy rounds, whatever they may
be, faithful in the least and | will
make you ruler over many Things"
are the words of the cripture Sitself.
Temptations can only be overcome with
the strength Of the mighty God of
Jacob. He of whom it can be said,
God is with him, lives the successful
life, he who puts his faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ and trusts Him.
