CAPT. MINUS IN NEWBERRY.
Talks Interestingly Of His Expert
ences at Clemson Colege.-Feels
an Interest in College.

Capt. J. C. Minus, who has recently
been commandant at Clemson Col
lege, stopped over in Newberry on
Tuesday to spend a few hours with
his former college-mate, Capt. W. 5.
Langford.
Capt. Minus seems very much IN
earnest and conscious of the right
eousness of his contention in the mat
ter of. discipline at Clemson college.
He says that he is willing and anxious
to have a most thorough investigation
made Of his record as commandant at
the college, and feels satisfied that if
the people of the State could see the
situation as it is that they would be
easily convinced that what he is en-
deavoring to do is for the best inter-
est of the institution and the young
men of the State.
Capt. Minus says that he will pre-
pare in a day or two full statement
to the people Of the State which he
will give to the daily papers covering
the statements made by DR.. Nell and
Prof. Riggs in the daily papers and
also giving some information IN de-
tail as to the situation at Clemson.
Capt. Minus said in regard to DR..
Mel's statement in reply to his
statement: $50 far as I see DR.. Nell
has answered nothing. I assert that l
have the facts that will show my
contentious. I expect to make fuller
and more specific statement to-mor-
row or. next day."
He also said that all told he be-
lieves that the editorial in the Co.
lumbia Record of Monday, which Is
printed in The Herald and News, by
Mr.. James A. Hoyt, who went to
Clemson last April as a representa-
tive Of thee News and Courier, sizes
up the situation better than any crit
icism or comment that he had seen in
the newspapers.
Capt. Minus left Monday afternoon
for Clemson College where he will
be for a few days packing up his
household goods. He intends to To-
cate in South Carolina for the pres
ent and will probably make his home
in Columbia though he said he was
very much pleased with Newberry.

SCHOOL BOYS INTERESTED.
More Than One Hundred and Fifty
VIII Enter Contest-Seed to be
Distributed Saturday.

County Superintendent of Educa-
ton ]. S. Wheeler published little
notice in the papers this week which
reads as follows: "Notice to school
boys. All school boys who have
agreed to plant half acre in corn
or cotton will call at my office on
Saturday, April 24th, and get the
seed.'
This is an innocent little notice and
may be overlooked, therefore, We de-
sire to quote it in this connection so
that all of the boys who have de-
cided to enter this contest may not
fail to be on hand.
We understand that there are
about 80 boys in the county who are
going into the contest and Mr..
Wheeler has been busy all the week
getting the seed arranged and put in
packages so as to have no trouble IN
delivering it to them on Saturday.
He is being assisted in getting the
seed together by Mr.. S. NJ. Duncan,
agent for the government in this
county in the matter of cooperative
work.
This experiment by the boys is un-
der the direction Of DR.. Knapp of the
Federal government, and it is pleasant
to note that so many of them are 60
ing to be interested in it.
If we can get the boys Of this
county to- take an interest in farm
work and improved methods and the
use Of improved seed, it will be a
great thing for the agricultural de-
velopment of our section.
The Herald and News would like
to have the boys who enter this con-
test to- write short articles for the
paper giving their plan of cultivation
and the result of their work at the
end Of the year.
Mr. Wheeler has promised to fur
nish a list of these names and we are
going to print it in the paper. One OF
the great needs Of this county today Is
something that will encourage the
bows to remain on the farm and we
believe this contest which is being
undertaken by the government among
the school boys will contribute largely
TO that end.

WILL BUILD NEW MILL.
The Directors of the Newberry Cot
ton Mills Decide to Build Mill
No. 2.-1O,000 Spindles, 800
Looms.

At meeting of the directors OF
the Newberry Cotton Mill which was
held on the 18th of this month it was
decided to increase the capital stock
Of the company and to erect build
ing that will carry not less than lO,-
900 spindles and 800 looms with the
accompanying machinery necessary
to operate a plant of that size.
This mill has been exceedingly sue
cessful and this increase Of stock IS
open only to the stockholders at
present. In order to build this add1-
tional mill it is proposed to increase
the capital stock of the company to
$5OO,oOO by issuing 100000 Of new
stock which is offered to the stock
holders in proportion to their present
holdings at par to be taken by them
BY May l, 1909.
It is estimated that the enlarge
ment of the mill will cost $25O,OOO.
The excess Of cost over the amount
of new stock offered to the present
stockholders will be paid for out OF
the earnings Of the mill.
This action Of the directors, OF
course, is subject to the confirmation
Of the stockholders at their annu9 9l
meeting on May 5. There is no doubt
that the stockholders will confirm
the action of the directors and that
work on the new mill will be COM
nenced in a very short time.
The capacity of the present mill
was doubled some years ago out OF
the earnings and while the capital
stock at present is only $25O,OOo the
plant is probably worth $1,OOO,o0o.
The company suffered some losses
few years ago, but these in no way
crippled the enterprise, and, under
the presidency of Mr.. z. F. Wright
the mill is succeeding.

SAVING BABIES THEIR AIM.
New York Workers Against Infant
Mortality Meet Today.

New York, March 16-Philanthro.
plsts, sociologists and others interested
In the saving of babies lives met here
today in a conference to plan the es-
tablishment of an academy for the in
struction of mothers in the proper care
Of children. The conference was held
under the auspices Of the recently or
ganized Infant Science academy, the
founder and leading spirit of which is
Mrs. Gibson Arnold Of this city,
The leaders of the conference aim at
securing the cooperation of the moth
er, the nurse, the family physician and
the infant specialist in their endeavors
to check the ravages Of infant NOR
tality. At the conference statistics
were produced to show that in New
York last year the deaths of babies
less than one year old exceeded in
number the deaths from tuberculosis.
Mrs. Arnold and her coworkers de-
clared that, while vigorous measures
are being taken to save the lives of
those attacked or threatened with con-
sumption, very little in comparison is
being done to help the infants.

MOTOR BOAT RACES TODAY.
Little Sea Fliers Begin Four Days
Contests on Lake Worth, Florida.

Contests on Lake Worth, Florida.
Palm Beach, Fla, March 16.-Al-
though the absence of the Dixie H.,
Americas fastest motor boat, detracts
somewhat from the interest of the mo-
tor boat races which began on Lake
Worth today, there is Il large enough
list of entries in the races to satisfy
the motor boat enthusiasts assembled
here from all parts of the United
States. The Dixie has been shipped
abroad to compete in the international
races at Monaco.
The motor boat races are sailed on
Lake Worth, a long, narrow inlet Of
the sea, separated from the ocean by
q strip of sand. The boats compete
around course measuring four and a
half nautical miles, a little over five
land miles. They start and finish op-
posite one of the big hotels here. There
are seven racing classes, the general
events being restricted to boats ca
pable of making more than twelve miles
an hour. The races will last four
days. The main feature of Friday, the
closing day, will be Il ninety mile en-
durance run at maXimum speed for all
boats entered "a the other events.

NICARAGUA TALKS PEACE.
But Washington Decides to Send More
Warships There.

But Washington Decides to Send more
Warships There.
Washington, March 16.-Nicaragua,
through her minister here, Senior Es-
pinoza, has protested to Secretary
Knox that the military and naval ac-
tivity now in progress in that country
Is destined entirely for defensive pur-
poses and that she does not contem-
plate making any attacks on her sister
republics.
Notwithstanding the minister's as
sertion Of Nicaragua's peaceful inten-
tions toward her neighbors, the admin
istration has decided to augment the
naval force in Central American wa
ters to a total of six vessels. In addi-
ton to the Yorktown, now en- route
for Amapala, Honduras, the armOred
cruisers Maryland and Washington
are to remain on the west coast, the
former going to Acajulta, Salvador,
and the latter to Corinto.
The most significant news that
reached the state department was that
5000 Nicaraguan troops are near the
Honduran frontier the chief scene OF
activity being in the neighborhood Of
| Corimbo. where also are concentrated
four gunboats and other auxiliary
craft.
Another feature distasteful to the
state department is the manner in
which John H. Gregory, the secretary
of legation at Managua. who has been
ordered to Washington. is being treat
ed. There are evidences of hostility
to him, and some of his dispatches
have not reached him.
The whole situation is inexplicable
and irritating to the state department
which is not disposed to act hastily
and is seeking the views of the va
rious capitals in Central America
through it's representatives in those
places.
