NEWBERRY POLICE SYSTEM.
Movement Of People There Noted by
Officers.

Newberry has police system, al
though the people of that burg do not
think much Of the Columbia idea of
running foEce. Some time ago, a citi-
zen Of that town was robbed of a
board bill and the "jumper" was seen
to board Il train for Columbia. The
suggestion that the Columbia police
force be called on to make the arrest
was received with Indifference. Th,
people in Newberry do not think much
of the system there. \ Columbia
civilian was telephoned about the mat
ter and he at once caught the stranger
and collected the board bill.
1t is said that the Ncw:,srry chief
of police requires the policeman on
duty at the depot to secure, as far as
possible, the name Of every citizen
getting OH or off the train. He, of
course, makes allowances for grow
ing town and believes that there are
many not known to the officer but he
does believe that every express ship
ment of whiskey into Newberry
should be noted.
This requirement was called to the
attention of a Columbia alderman
yesterday and the alderman offered
to wager that, with the exception of
the officers on Ma in street, not sin
gle patrolman had been instructed to
get the names of all residents on his
beat. Chairman Otis of the police
commission said in his report. recon-
mending that patrolmen be continued
on beats, that each man employed on
the force was supposed to study the
habits and life of every resident.
Had that system been employed in
Columbia three or four years ago the
murderer of Maud Allen would not
have escaped. The chief of police of
Ncwberry, it is noted, is Columbian
who has had some experience with
criminals here.
However. when a Columbia police
officer was asked about the Ncwberry
police force yesterday, he replied,
"Aw. gwan. Didn't they let that fel-
low Ioungblood get right through
their fingers? | mean the fellow that
worked two banks here on bogus
checks. .'-Columbia State.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Congrcssman
Joseph G. Cannon, Of Illinois, who is
the guest Of Congressman Joseph G.
Sibley of Pennsylvania on cruise
through the Thousand Islands OH Mr..
Sibley's yacht, is quoted by the Alex
andria Bay correspondent of Tho
Herald as saying in an interview, in
reply to questions regarding his pos
sible candidacy for the presidency:
cam a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for president No, l
have not the bee, personally. Would |
accept the nomination. No citizen
has ever declined ii or ever will. |
would rather contribute to making the
next session of congress success, so
that my party will deserve and win
success in 1908, than have the presi-
dcncy rendered to me on golden sal
vcr.
"Now. want to make this point :
IT congress does not act wisely at the
next session: if it is not actuated by
calmnass and patriotism: if it makes
great mistakes and fails to meet the
approval of the reasoning American
public. there will not be much need
for the election of delegates to the
next national convention Of the Re-
publican party.
'The great masses are not talking
politics now,' continued the speak
er. "They are busy. Their ambition
is to see that nothing is done TO
make them idle. This country is very
prosperous. 1t would be a crime if
congress should DO anything at this
time to upset business, and it might
make mistakes in half dozen ways"

Origin of the Balloon,

The word balloon means "a large
ball.' TO Momtgolficr of Annonav,
France, the invention of the balloon
is credited. 1t is said that he was
led to turn his attention to balloon
making from the following incident.
a French laundress. wishing to drv a
petticoat quickly, placed it on bask-
ct work frame over a stove. To pre-
vent the heat from escaping by the
opening at the top of the pctticoat she
drew the belt sirirss closely together
and tied them. Gradually the garment
dried and became lighter, and as the
stove continued to give out heat an,
rarely the air concentrated under the
basket work frame the petticoat be-
gan to move and finally rose in the
air. This so astonished the laundress
that she ran to her neighbors and ask
cd them to come and witness the
strange sight. Montgolfer was among
those that came in. The petticoat
suspended in midair suggested great
er things to him, and he returned
home with something to think
about.' He at once began studying
works on different kinds Of atmos-
phere, and the invention of the bal
'"on was the result.

Unconscious of Fame.

George Giote, the famous author
of the History of Greece long the
standard on that subject, was man
of great simplicity and was wholly
unconscious Of his own celebrity.
Several anecdotes, illustrative of this
fact are given in "Some Famous Wo
men of Wit and Beauty" one of
whom is Mrs. Grote.
While Mr.. Grote was walking in
the ark he would perhaps notice that
one or two persons looked at him
with some attention. He would at
once turn to his wife in alarm.
"Havc | got any dirt on my face,
Harriet? Is there anything the mat
ter with my hat9' and he would
clutch his headgear with both
hands.
"Why are those people looking at
me9'
Mrs. Gfote's proud answer was
Because you are George Grote,
that's all.'
Once when he was on visit to
Cambridge. Grote wished to see the
professor of natural history, but was
told that the professor was SO busy
dissecting something that he could
not be interrupted, "strong magnify
ing power, powerful light, shirt sleev-
es up, cannot be bothered with any
body.' The modest historian would
have retired, but his wife persisted
that it was Mr.. Grote who wished to
see the professor.
"What - he cried. "Mr. Grote
Give me my coat. | must wash my
hands.' In a minute he had trans
formed himself and would not let
them 60 for two hours.
