mediately in order to save the dogs.

in to the thicket after him. obtain

for handling cotton through ware

spinners there on the subject. 1t is

Moore's expenses on the trip, and he
has decided to 60 and will leave IN a
few days.

half of Clerks.

The merchants Of Spartanburg have
agreed to close their stores at $50
p. m. the year round except Saturday
nights and every night in December
wnen they will keep open until lO
o'clock. The movement was started
in behalf of the clerks and salesladles
and pushed and pressed upon the
merchants by the ladies of the city
through the Y. NJ. G.. A. auxiliary.
At first some Of the merchants en-
tered a vigorous protest but the Wo-
men had gone into the fight and 1t
was their determination TO win. So
they quietly passed the word around
that they would no longer trade with
those merchants who mad not needed
their petition and it was not long be-
fore all of the merchants came across
and now they have all signed up.
A great many of the merchants of
Columbia have adopted the early
closing and there is no reason why 1t
should not be. done elsewhere. 10

It Was a She-Bear.

stamboul, Laz Oct. 19.-The presl-
dent killed bear late Thursday al
ternoon.
Few details Of the presidents bear
killing are known except that it took
place late in the afternoon after he
and the other hunters with him had
followed the dogs in the chase
through the jungles for four hours.
The beast was a female Of the
black variety and was beyond the av-
erage size.
The fact that she was secured at
all is attributed to the staying quail
ties Of the new dogs. The news was
brought in by a courier who arrived
from Bear Lake yesterday morning.

A Word With Our Subscribers.

The Herald and News has not
adopted the cash in advance system,
and, therefore, we find that q great
many of our subscribers owe Us for
one or more years in arrears. These
amounts are small and with the pros
perity, which has come to cur people,
we feel that they should not make 1t
necessary for us to send collector
after them. We need the money now.
and need all Of it. We hope that you
sufficiently appreciate the indulgence,
which has been extended, to let Us
have what is due, and if you cannot
pay it all, at least pay part Of it.
Those who live in the country, can
easily secure a money order from the
rural carrier without the necessity OF
waiting until they come to town to
pay what is due. We will mail you a
receipt promptly for any amount,
which you may send. This request is
urgent, and We hope that you Will at
tend to it at once.
Mimnaugh's Big Store.
Mimnaugh quotes some prices in
this issue Of The Herald and News,
which should draw you to his big
store if you desire to save money
Where there is cash buying and cash
selling, there can always be Snort pro-
fits, because there is no risk and there
are no bad debts, and that is the
motto of Mimnaugh's S store. His sue
cess, since he has been in Newberry
has been remarkable, and he credits
it to the motto which we have just
quoted, and which has been his busi-
ness motto. Think Of a S2O coat tor
SIS, and everything else in proper
ton. 1t is true that right goods at
right prices tell the tale, and these
YOU will find at Mimnaugh's, and
some few Of them are quoted in hiz
advertisement in another part Of this
paper. It would be impossible to
quote prices at any great extent in a
stock so large and so we'll selected
but the goods are here and the prices
are right.

CHAIRMAN CAUGHMAN TALKS.
Saws There is No Demand tor Had-
cal Railroad Legislation Among
the People.

COlumO1d. OcloUe1 ~.
Cauehman of the railroad commission
in speaking Of the probable action OF
the coming legislature with regard to
the railroads. said that talks ne had
had in every section Of the state with
business men. manufacturers and
professional men had convinced him
that there is a strong sentiment
throughout the state against anything
in the nature Of radical Legislation
lust at this time.
"My observation said he: is
that these interests as whole are
satisfied both as regards passenger
rates and freight rates, and there Is
disposition to have the railroad peo-
ple feel that the state is not hostile to
them. These men tell me every
where that it is service and accommo-
dation that are desired, and that II
the roads continue to show a DISPOSE
ton to improve along this line there
will be no general kick about the
rates. Of course there are always a
number Of individual complaints here
and there and some changes may b.
needed in the law, but while I do not
wish to be placed in the position OF
seeming to decitate to the legislature
as to what it SHALL do, still I do not
hesitate to give it as my individual
opinion that any radical legislation at
this time would be very unwise step.
"What is most need for better
sreight deliveries, and improvements
generally. The story has been sent
out from Sumter that extensive I'M
provements laid out there have been
abandoned on account of hostile lee1s-
lation generally against the roads.
"Now this state has not been hos
tile towards the roads and I think the
roads will make mistake to abandon
improvements. Of course we all
know that the money market IS ex-
tremely tight just at this time and 1t
may be that the roads are unable to
get needed money for Improvements.
Still in spite of such conditions heav-
ier rails are being laid in various
parts Of the state an passenger service
has been generally improved. There IS
also emphatic need for new ties and
better trestle timber throughout the
state.'
The commission has not yet finally
decided as to whether it will ask the
legislature for special attorney and
expert for the commission, though all
the members Of the board feel the
need for the services Of both.
So far as a reduction Of rates is
conce4 ned, Mr.. Caughman is decided
ly of the opinion that the business in
terests Of the state would rather have
any increased earnings 90 into i'm
provements and better service. Mr..
Caughman has been talking to people
from Georgia and North Carolina and
folks in those states are enthusiastic
over the reduction in rates involving
the curtailment of schedules in pass
enger trains and service.
Mr.. Caughman is decidedly of the
opinion that by the policy
of this state in maintained that
the railroads should in good faith use
the increased earnings in this state
for the development Of South Car
DINA and that they should not, be-
cause Of the leniencey or cooperation
of South Carolina, take the funds de-
rived here into other states.

How the Vision May Be Upset BY
Use Of Two Cards.

ground glass of a Photographic cam

vous process we invert again the upset
image and set Il or rather see It
right In the following experiment
the opposite operation is made. An
image which, through some artifice, is
made to paint itself right side up
on the retina is turned over by the
general upsetting process and appears
TO MS to be upside down.
Take two pieces of dark-shaded
pasteboard. In the center of one,
bore a pin hole. Nearer corner of
the other make a cluster OF three pin
holes arranged about as the angles OF
an equilateral triangle, and at dis
tance of about lie of an inch from
one another. Lay on the table before
you well-lighted sheet of printed
matter. Place the card with the three
holes in contact with your eye, and
through the cluster of three holes
look at the center OF the other card,
this being placed between your eye
and the printed matter at a distance
of from two to four inches from your
eye
The cluster OF holes through which
you are looking will then seem to you
to be a single aperture and the single
hole in the center OF the card which
you hold far away from your eye will
seem to you to have vanished but, in
stead of 1t. you will distinctly per-
ceive. on the same card. three holes
through each one of which you can
easily read a different part OF the
printed text. These three holes are
unlike those which you made on the
card kept near your eye, for If the
latter are arranged thus: those
on the card which you examine will be
arranged in the opposite way:
and vice versa
AS the single luminous hole on the
card you hold at a distance from your
eye is still abnormally close to It, its
image will be formed behind the ret
ina or, in other words, the rays will
strike the retlna before meeting. In

The device is of such size as to fit

WEALTH OF CANADIAN FARMERS
Are at Present Lending Money to the
Manufacturers.

There Is no question that the largest
percentage of the amount at present
on deposit in Canadian banks (some
$750,000,000) is controlled by the agri-
cultural community, This vast amount
is in addition to the large sums en- de-
posit with trust and loan companies
and in farm mortgages. for it is well
known that in recent years the aggre-
gate of farm mortgages, in Ontario
and Quebec particularly, has been de-
creased. The farmers to-day as a
class are not borrowers, but lenders.
This is markedly so in Ontario.
Turning to the other side of the
banking returns. It is observed that
current loans and discounts. which
represent the volume OF money en-
ployed in the manifold industries of
the country. have increased in just
about the same ratio as the deposits.
In other words, the manufact rers
of the country and those engaged in
other lines of activity are borrowing
the capital required in their various
enterprises from the farmers.

the luminous pencils have crossed

the image is inverted; the eye inverts
