MEXICAN OMENS,
Alomts a Religion, Governing Every
Act of the People.

Mexicans enjoy the we'll earned
reputation Of being one of the most
superstitious races Of the world. Su-
perstltion exists wherever there is a
human being but Mexico seems to be
the place where all human supersti-
lions are centcrcd. To such an cx-
tent is this true that superstition has
become kind of religion, governing
every act of the people.
Take the average Mexican of the
poorer classes, and you may hear from
his lips hair-raising stories of ghosts
and fairies and devils. He will tell
you OF the rare qualities f many ami
mails, plants and stones, Of the things
yon can do and those you cannot on
certain days Of the week or the month
and finally, he will invite you to make
the sign of the cross to drive awav
the devils and the ghosts that may
have been attracted by the conversa-
ton you have had.
From their earliest childhood the
poems are taught to make the sign Of
the cross before going to sleep at

pare favorably with publications of
like character in other communities
OF similar size. Both operate up-to-
date job plants. The Herald and

After the first of July the post
office authorities will install system
of free city delivery Of mail Already
the rural delivery Of mail by carriers

eight of these routes going out from

The merchants are thrifty, pros

With an intelligent, moral, sturdy,
thrifty and progressive citizenship
and surrounded by farms and intelli-
gent farmers, there is bright future
ahead for Newberry, and she is Just
entering an era of industrial growth
far in excess Of anything she has achi-
eyed in the past. The chamber Of
commerce, which has but recently
celebrated its first anniversary. is &C
complishing much in getting the peo-
pie together and in closer touch for
the upbuilding and the making of
the New Newberry and at the same
time, holding steadfast to the tradi-
tions Of the past and those sturdy
traits of character which have given
Newberry her place in the history Of
South Carolina, and cherishing and

The Modern Public Library.

"The Modern Public Library" is
an article of educational interest in
the September number Of the New
Idea Woman's Magazine. There is
probably no other public institution
which has undergone a greater awak-
ening within the last twenty-five
years, and the writer gives an outline
of the principal movements which
have taken place for the development
of the modern library system. The
methods which enable the introduce
tion of the best reading matter into
the remotest homes, as well as the
many inducements which are made to
young and old to become interested in
good literature, are told about. The
children s story hour and the "gans
rooms' for boys may not be found
in every locality, but their value as an
incentive to reading makes a univcr-
sal appeal. Every one ought to be in
tcrested in this accent of one Of the
greatest influences of our modern
times.

pense and filed in the County Clerks

TALKS FOR CHILD
LABOR BILL
Beveridge Says Congress
Has Power to Exercise
All Restraint 1t Desires
GIVES LEGAL PHASES

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS Senator
Beveridge occupied the attention OF
the Senate throughout the day with
continuation OF his argument in behalf
Of his child labor bill. He had only
reached the legal and constitutional
phases Of the question after speaking
for more than four hours, and an ar
rangement was made whereby he VIII
conclude tomorrow. In taking the posi-
tion that Congress could exercise any
restraint IL saw At in interstate COM
merce, Beveridge met a fusillaoe OF
questions by his colleagues, and his
progress In argument was slow Whlle
he said the power to regulate was alb
solute. he maintained that the question
OF policy would always restrain any
hurtful regulations.
Beveridge continued his remarks until
5 o'clock, when he suspended until to-
morrow His position is that the pow
er Of Congress to enact the legislation
is ample, but when asked by Raynor
IL this power could be exercised to abb
solutely prohibit commerce between the
States. he replied that the question
was an impossible one.
The Senate adopted a resolution di-
recting the interstate commerce com
mittee to report as TO the position in
its employ held by c. S. Hanks, who
recently stated before the Boston
chamber Of Commerce that railroad
rates could be reduced 10 per cent
without impairing dividends. The
resolution also asks for the facts on
which this statement was based.
Both houses today adopted a Joint
resolution continuing the Joint Postal
Commission until it's affairs can be
wound up.

THE UNRELIABLE STENCIL
Be careful when purchasing piano
that 1t has the manufacturers name
upon it. A stencil piano is a decep-
tion on its face, and no dealer should
sell one without explaining this to his
customer For stencil plano (accord-
ing to the latest edition OF Piano
Quality'') one should pay no more
than $125 to $175. Such pianos as the
'Arion," "Shuman & Sons" "Antisel,"
.'Iverson" and "Steinhauser" are all
stencils. The manufacturers prefer
not to put their names on them or to
acknowledge their source. If you are
unable to pay more for piano than
this. 1t is better to get a used piano,
or even a square. We have a large
variety of square pianos at prices
ranging from $50 to 500, which you

BLAMED PHYSICIAN
FOR W|FE'S DEATH

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Suspected of
knowing something about the death of
DR.. Charles w Townsend of Staten
Island, who was mysteriously muir
dered in his home last Friday night,
the police last night arrested John
Bell. a former streetcar conductor, at
his home in Brooklyn. The suspicious
of the police were directed toward Bell
by discov ering that his wife died about
a year ago. after an operation attend
ing child birth. DR.. Townsend was at
tending the woman and had charge Of
the operation, being assisted by other
doctors. Bell is reported to have
blamed DR.. Townsend for his wife's
death.
Bell was formerly employed as a
conductor on a trolley line running to
Flushing, and is said to have eloped
with a young woman who was a men,
ber of family socially prominent in
that place. Her parents objected to her
marriage, and Bell and the young wife
removed to Staten Island, where he
found employment as a streetcar con-
ductor.
After his wife's death Bell travelled
about the country and was employed in
San Francisco at the time of the big
fire. Recently he returned to the home
of his parents in Brooklyn, where he
was arrested last night. The arrest
was made in a sensational manner. The
two detectives who took him into Gus
tody were accompanied by squad of
policemen, who surrounded the house.
When the detectives asked for Bell
they were told he was not at home, but
they forced their way into the house
and found him. Presenting their re-
volvers they told him that resistance
would be useless, whereupon he sur
rendered. He declared that DR.. Town
send was no friend of his, but that he
had nothing to do with his murder
Later the commitment of Bell in the
Tombs was rescinded and he was sent
to Staten Island. 1t is probable Bell
will be taken before Mrs. Townsend for
Identification.
Inspector Schmittberger says his de-
tectives declare they can produce two
witnesses who claim to have seen Bell
in the vicinity of the Townsend home
and in other parts of New Brighton
Friday night and Saturday morning.
