Soda For Convicts.
"Soda water, cents!"
These words spoken in a whisper
may be heard in the halls Of the pen
itentiary at Columbus. O., in the even
ing nowadays, says the Columbus Dis
patch. Warden Gould has given per-
mission to sell soda water behind the
walls to the convicts, who eagerly look
forward to the evening when, during
hall permit, they are able to get this
delicious refreshment. Old prisoners
who served behind the walls for many
years and know what 1t Is to be held
so strictly to rules that they almost
forgot how to talk look with wonder
on the development of the elements of
humanity. The soda, however, is "the
goods" with the convicts, and many a
man who laughed at the person who
drank soda on the outside likes bis
little ice cream now as well as he
liked hts whisky before.

Household ELECTRICITY.

Consul Covert reports that during the
months of July and August, 1906, there
will be held In Lyons, France, a gen.
eral exposition Of all electrical devices
that can be applied to domestic uses.
1t will be conducted under the auspices
Of the Agricultural and Scientific asso-
citation Of Lyons, and no motor will be
accepted for exhibition which is over
one horsepower, says the St Louis
Post-Dispatch. The object of the exhi-
bition is to bring cheap electrical ap-
planes nearer to the people in order
that the great mass may derive some
benefit from them, motors that may be
used on embroidery, sewing and knit
ting machines, ventilators, vacuum
carpet and rug cleaners, house cleaning
machines, floor polishers, carts for
transporting objects, turning splits In
cooking, etc. Motors for weaving are
excluded. They have been in use in
and around Lyons for the last three
years, and it is deensd advisable to
have an exhibition at an early day Ell
pressly for such motors.

in This State.

Mr.. o. McR. Holmes, who for the
past eight or ten years been cotton
buycr in Ncwbcrry for the Ncwberry
Cotton mills was not an applicant for

who have been with Mr.. Holmes for
many years, and will continue in the
cotton business in Ncwberry.
Mr.. Holmes is an experienced cot
ton man and has been in the business
at Ncwbcrry since 1889. havin" come
here from Spartanbur@, where he
dealt i'm cotton for two years. Tie Will
buy for export and for local mills
and has large connection with Euro
pean brokers as well as with the large
mills Of the Piedmont. and will he in
position at all times TO pay the top OF
the market.
Mr.. McFall and Mr.. Schcnck are
also experienced cotton men and have
many friends in this county, and the
combination makes Il very strong firm.
Mr.. Holmes has been and is idcntl-
fled with the commercial life of New
berry and has taken an active interest
in promotin" the progress and dcvcl-
opmcnt Of the city. He is at pres
ent director in the Newberry Say

temitv Hall company. director i'll

the growth of the city and is Il live
and progressive business man. With
the demand for cotton in the mills
and with the Holmes Cotton company
in the local market. the farmers who
brin" their cotton to Ncwbcrry this

Will Remain in Country.

DR.. w. T.. Lake, of No. 8 Township,
who had made. arrangements to move
to Newberry to practice his profess
sion, finds it impossible to secure a
house for himself and family, and in
consequence has decided to remain at
his home in No. 8 Township. In adj

tents for whom he has practiced for
the last twenty-five years insist most
urgently that he remain with them.
Dr. Lake is a good citizen and has
been a successful practitioner, and his
removal from his community in which
he lives would be decided loss TO
that community. At the same time,
we should have been glad to have had
him and his family as citizens of

county desiring local union and
shall meet with you promptly.
