THE SILVERY SHANNON.

In exile far beyond the sea 1 oft with
fancy's eye
Behold the rivers crystal tide &c
swiftly by;
In memory's ear the thrush sings
low; 1 hear the banshee's
moan
that flows through sweet Ath-
lone.
In childhood's careless, happy time ]
dream the hours away
Nor thought that ever from its banks
my wand'ring feet might stray;
But freedom whispered to my heart
beyond the sea Tam known,
Far from the silvery Shannon fair
that flows through sweet Ath-
lone.
Mine eyes have viewed the waters
glide by the shore of Rio
Grande;
I'VE watched the proud Columbia's s
tide roll over the golden sand;
Ger Mississippi's bosom broad my
task has often flown.
EL Elill L SlSH lOl ldll lllll
flows through sweet Athlone.
Ger the boundless plains Of the Cold
en- West I've wandered many a
year,
But ne'er forget at morn or eve to
breathe to heaven prayer
That once again the vista grand my
boyhood days had known
Might greet my eye by Shannon fair
that flows through sweet Ath-
lone.
OH river grand, in my own land,
beyond the ocean blue,
Filth swelling heart and teardimmed
eyes an exile pines for you:
Once more down thy banks to stray
would all life's ills atone:
And sleep at last by Shannon fair
that flows through sweet Ath-
lone. Selected.

HEAVY RAIN.
Thursday Morning-Cellar Flooded.
Streets Washed lightning
Strikes New Court House.

One Of the heaviest rainfalls that
Newbelry has been visited with in a
long time came yesterday morning
from six to nine 'clOck.
The creeks through the town were
out Of bank and the North fork Of
SCOTS creek in College street was
out Of the bank and up into the negro
Baptist church. The streets we're
washed considerably and the cellar of
Ewart-Perry Co.'s store was flooded
but fortunately there were no goods
in the cellar that were damagable.
Lightning struck the new court
house tearing off about six feet Of
the comb of the west side and break
ing a few Of the terra Gotta pieces on
the south and north sides Of the build
ing, and the current seems to have
run down the telephone wire leading
to the telephone in Sheriff Buford s
Office A portion of the window cas-
ing was burned off and pieces Of the
fixtures of the telephone were thrown
clear across the room, and the lnsula-
ton on the wires was melted and
thrown against the window
Fortunately no one was in the office
at the time and very little damage
was done.
The wire leading from the window
to the phone which was attached to
Sheriff Buford's desk was torn in
half, but no damage was done the
desk. It seems that the telephone
people had neglected to properly ad-
just the ground wire which is prob
ably the cause of the damage to the
office.
The switchboard in the building
which contains a number Of fuses had
II Of the small fuses burned out and
two of the larger ones, and the fuse in
transformer was also burned as the
current was off yesterday morning.
The leaks as a result from the dam
age to the roof we're very slight.
Sheriff Buford thinks that light
ming also struck the top of the Jail
as there was considerable leak yes
terday morning where there had new
er been one before.

NO DECISION YET.

sidering Lots-Meet Again
Next Week.

The board of trustees and the ad-
visory committee from the citizen;
met on Wednesday afternoon with
the architect to consider the selection
of site upon which to locate the new
school building. The special commit
tee which had been appointed to look
into the different sites proposed made
an elaborate report Of their investi-
cations.
Mr.. F. N. Martin, the chairman of
the board, states positively no agree
ment was reached, and that the mat
ter stands just as it has stood practi-
cally from the beginning.
It is probable he says that another
meeting Of the board and the advisory
committee will be held next week.

ter of Mr.. Buford's s friend, Mr.. NJ. c.

ber of old friends and acquaintances
whom he had not seen in some years,
and they all gave him a warm well
come, and it was great pleasure to
him to be with them.

friends daughter, is a fine young bus

SUPERINTENDENT EDUCATION.
No Provision Made for the Payment
of His Salary-Question Should
be Settled.

At the last session OF the leg1Sla-
ture the senator and representatives
from Newbewy county with a view,
we presume of saving some expense
to the ordinary county fund, and also
in view of the fact that our school
fund has a surplus, provided in the
general salary bill that the salary Of
the county superintendent Of educa-
ton should be paid out of the school
fund.
As stated in The Herald and News
some weeks ago, this act is in plain
and direct violation of the constitu-
ton of 1895.
The salary act Of 1909 reads as to
the salary of the county superinten-
dent of education Of Newberry coun-
tv as follows: "County superinten-
dent of education nine hundred dol
lars annually. Said amount to be
paid to him out Of the unappropriated
public school fund Of the county,"
Article II section 4 of the consti-
tuition reads: "The salaries OF the
State and county school officers and
compensation Of county treasurer tor
collecting and disbursing school mon
evs shall not be paid out of the school
fund but shall be otherwise provided
for bv the gneeral assembly,
County Superintendent of Educa-
ton Wheeler drew his salary out OF
the county funds as he had been up
to the date at which this general SAL
ary bill of 1909 became operative and
in view Of this act the county attor-
ney, Mr.. Holloway, declined to pay
the salary further out Of the county
fund. and Mr.. Wheeler knowing the
provision of this act to be in conflict
with the State constitution has not
attempted to draw his salary from the
school fund, and possibly if he did
the county treasurer would withhold
payment.
AS it sctands Mr.. Wheeler has been
without his salary since March and
no action has been taken by anyone
to arrange so that he might draw his
salary. Unless something is done he
will probably have to 60 without his
salary until the legislature can change
the general salary law as to this Of
fee in Newberry county.
1t is not right that Mr.. Wheeler
should be deprived of his salary. 1t
seems to us that if he were to make
demand on the county treasurer IN
accordance with the act of the legls-
lature and the county treasurer were
to refuse payment, then an issue
would be joined and the case coulI
be taken to the supreme court and
without much delay decision could
be had and he then could draw his
salary as he had formerly done.

SEWERAGE BONDS VOTED.
By a Small Vote But Large Majority
The City Decides to Extend
Sewerage.

The election which Was held on
Tuesday was so quiet that very few
people in Newberry knew that an
election was being held. In fact ev-
erybody took so little interest in it
that only about III Of the voters OF
the city had registered for this eIec-
ton.
It was generally understood that 1t
was absolutely necessary to extend
our sewerage system and that in order
to do so the city would have to issue
bonds in order to raise the money.
1t is unfortunate, however, it seems
to us. that so little interest would be
taken in matter Of so much lmpor-
tance to the city. In fact in elections
of this kind our people do not take
the interest which they should.
In the election on Tuesday, for in
stance, there were only u votes cast.
Fiftv-seven of these favored the issue
of bonds and fifteen voted against the
issue.
So by a small vote of the electors
of this community it has been decid-
ed to issue $4,000 in bonds for the
extension Of the sewerage. Of course,
that is sufficient to make the election
LEGAL but it does not show that inter-
est in municipal affairs which should
be exercised by those who are so much
concerned.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Getting on Business Basis-New
Members Coming In-Wil Have
Banquet Soon.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Newberry chamber Of commerce was
held on Tuesday evening.
The attendance Was not as large
and enthusiastic as it might have been
or as it should have been
but the necessary quorum was pres
ent and the reports Of some commit
tees showed that the body is getting
on a business and working basis.
The board of governors met prior
to the chamber of commerce and dis
cussed questions pertaining to the or
ganization.
The special committee on the c.,
| C. & O. railroad, through Chairman
Wright, reported that they had been
doing soma work and hoped by the
next meeting to have some lnforma-
| ton that would be interesting to the
members of the chamber of commerce
as we'll as to the people Of the entire
community.
Mr.. J. ?. Shealy was elected a
member of the board Of governors to
fill a vacancy.
The membership of the chamber OF
commerce is now only about IS or 70
and all Of the members are active and
are taking an interest in the organl-
cation. Several new members have
! joined recently and it is hoped in the
near future, however, to have the
membership reach one hundred.
Only those who comply with the
rules and bylaws governing the Or
ganization are retained upon its roll
Of membership. In other words it
is the purpose of the present admins
tration to place the chamber OF COM
merce on a business basis and to car
ry on the roll of membership only
those who are willing to be active
and to cooperate in whatever may be
undertaken for the advancement OF
the community.
: It was decided at the meeting on
! Tuesday evening to see what could
be done in the direction Of having a
banquet at which we might invite rep
resentatives from other similar or
CARNATIONS in the State, so that oul
chamber of commerce might get IN
closer touch with these organizations
It was also suggested that other prom
inent citizens interested in the com
mercial development Of this section
De invited to this banquet.
A committe composed Of Messrs
M. L. Spearman, E. H. Aull, and J
B. Mayes was appointed to take the
matter up and to make the necessary
arrangements and report to a subse
quent meeting to be called by the
!;president at which time arrangements
for the banquet would be fixed.
There are a number of matter:
which would be for the up-building o1
this community and which can be ma
terially aided through organized ct
fort. These will have the attention o1
the chamber of commerce as it ha:
opportunity.

At the congregational meeting of
the A.. r. P. church in Chester last
Sunday Rev. D. G. Phillips, pastor of
Newberry A. R. P. church Was called
to the pastorate Of the Chester con-
gregation. For Mr.. Phillips the Press
and Banner has the highest regard.
He is a good man who is capable, rea-
sonable, and active. These qualities,
prompted by zeal for the Masters
cause make him eminently fit for the
important position to which he has so
lately been chosen.-Abbeville Press
and Banner.
So far as we have learned it is not
settled that DR.. Phillips is going to
Chester. It is to be hoped that he
will remain with us in Newberry. He
is doing a good work here, is an ex-
cellent preacher, is liked by his own
congregation and the people OF the
entire city. We hope he will remain
in Newberry.
