We believe that the old law
regulating the common pleas
court at the Cape is like the old
constitution of Missouri good
enough, and should be let alone,
only as the people make the
changes. Everyone knows that
but few constitutional amend
ments pass when submitted to
the people; hence, when they do
pass one it should stick.

HELPING HAND TO
SAVE EK-CONVICTS
Commonwealth Club Hears Ad-
dresses on Good Work of Cali
ifOrnia Prison Commission
Charles Montgomery ExtOlied
for His Efforts on Behalf
of the Unfortunate

The work OF the California prison
commission and of Charles Montgomery
in saving ex-convicts from returning
10 a life Of crime was the subject Of
an address by William II Jordan yes
terdsy afternoon at the weekly lunch
con Of the Commonwealth club in the
college room at the Bismarck. The
speaker told OF the home for former
couvicts which viii be built in the
near future. of the good already ac-
compIished by the commission and of
the ways in which they hoped to ex-
tend the work.
lie also gave many instances Of the
handicap of a prison record having
been overcome by prisoners who had
been reformed and made good in the
world. Several other members of the
club and Of the commission spoke in
oommendation of the work of Charles
Montgomery, who had spent fortune
in aiding prisoners.
The hardest thing which prisoners
discharged or on parole have TO contend
with. according 10 the speaker, is the
blackmailing OF unscrupulous people,
often other discharged prisoners. but
more often policemen who know of
their past. The commission has done
great good in coming between the
blackmailer and the prisoner, and Jor-
dan told many instances in which pris-
oners have been saved from q second
conviction or return to prison on the
first through the intercession Of Charles
Montgomery and other members of the
commission.
g. NJ. Belshaw. who followed Jordan
with a short address, said that he be-
lieved the greatest field Of usefulness
for the commission lay in this direc-
rion He said that no one on earth
appreciated a square deal" as much as
a convict who had been accustomed TO
treachery and deceit. and that II they
could be assured that they would be
treated souarely after coming out of
prison il would keep the greater num-
her Of them from returning 10 life Of
crime giving them courage to begin
anew without a handicap.
Jordan told Of the home for former
convicts which was soon TO be estab-
lished By the commission at Third and
Silver streets. all but $500 having
Been raised Of the $4,000 necessary
Most OF this had been donated by mer-

Committee of Grand Jury Commend
Keeper and Way Inmates Are
Cared For. -

Editor Herald and ews:-We
have heard, somewhere, that it is
far better to say what good We can
of those who are alive to hear it.
rather than to defer until after they
are gone, when no one pays the least
attention to what we say; but agree
with US because it is customary and
useless. Now, 7 suppose that all of
those who are entrusted with the
management of our public affairs are
endeavoring to do the best they can
to serve US faithfully and efficiently;
but I want to call especial attention
to one place that do not believe re-
ceives the amount Of consideration
that is due. I refer to the "County
Home' for the INDECENT. In the per-
formance of the duty devolving upon
one, as I see it, have kept in touch
with said place and wish to commend
the keeper, Mr.. Epps, for his judi
cious management OF the property OF
The county, as we'll as his undertaking
kindness to the unfortunate inmates
of the institution. The lands are
we'll cared for and are being greatly
improved in productions. The houses
are clean and comfortable, and the
contented faces seen all around speak
louder than words Of consideration
seldom exercised towards those who
are unable either to help themselves
or to return the favor.
In saying the above, feel that J
am simply giving honor to whom
honor is due, and coming as close to
doing my duty as I know how.
Respectfully.

KILLED BY TRAIN.
Loge Berry Struck by c., N. & L.
Passenger Train and Killed
Partner Not Seriously Hurt.

Loge Berry was killed yesterday
about one O'Clock by a c., n. & L.
passenger train near Colony church.
Joe Lawrence. who was with him,
was struck by the train but not Sc
riously hurt.
1t seems that Berry and Lawrence
were walking the track just below
Mr.. F. P. Wicker's where the South
ern and c.. n. & L. tracks are very
close together They were making
their way from Columbia to Clinton.
A freight train on the Southern
was running in the same direction as
the passenger train and very nearly
parallel with it. It is probable that
they saw the freight train on the
Southern track and were not aware
of the passenger train on the track
which they were walking.
The c.. n. & L. train was in charge
of Conductor Web, and Engineer
Daniel McCraney.
Lawrence, who was not seriously
hurt, stated that he did not know,
himself, how it was that he was not
hurt and in fact could not tell any
thing much about how the accident
happened. He claims to be from
Spartanburg and says that Berry
was from Greenville but they were
making their way to Clinton.
The passenger train was delayed
about thirty-fve minutes and brought
Lawrence on to Newberry. Coroner
Felker went out yesterday and held
the inquest.

THE FIRE LIMITS.
Council Passes Resolution Extending
Limits Then Grants Permits
to Build Wooden Houses
Metal Covered.

At meeting Of the city council on
November 2, the fire masters present
ed a request that the fire limits be ex-
tended 430 feet from the north side
Of Harrington Street, parallel with
Harrington street from the extension
Of Thompson street to Vincent street.
Council adopted a resolution in
dorsing the request Of the fire mas
ters, but no ordinance was passed
carrying out the resolution. At the
meeting of city council on Tuesday
night of this week Alderman Baxter,
who had offered the first resolution,
asked that action Of council be re-
considered, and he offered another
resolution which was adopted, carry
ing out the same limits provided in
the first, but extending the limits to
the Southern railroad. No ordinance
was adopted by council carrying out
these resolutions and an ordinance
should be adopted at once.
In fact, as The Herald and News
has before stated, the wooden build
ings in the rear Of Mclaughlin block
and Law Range ought to be con-
demned and torn down and the own
ers reimbursed for their value. It
will not do great deal Of good to
extend the fire limits as indicated in
the resolutions adopted so long as
these other fire traps remain stand
ing.
The clerk of the city council has
issued permit to Mr.. J. H. McCol-
Tough to rebuild his stables, and
they are to be replaced by wooden
building, provided the sides and
roofs are covered with corrugated
iron.
If the ordinance laying out fire
limits permits buildings Of this kind
there is very little use in having fire
limits at all, because a wooden build
ing covered with tin or. iron will
burn just about as easily as if there
were no tin or iron on it:

The Mystery Cleared.

The little circulars that were scat
tered all over this section Of the
country which caused so much ex-
citement among the people the
mystery is cleared up in to-day's pa
per, and instead Of "bad luck
omen' they seem to be the sign OF
good luck for the people Of this To-
cality.
The little circulars and the ''mys-
terious ad appearing in the last is
sue prove to be the forerunners of
one Of the greatest merchandising
events ever known in Newberry; the
Ewart-Perry company will offer for
sale their entire stock of new, sea-
sonable merchandise at reduced
prices. It is the first time just such
an opportunity was ever offered the
Newberry people, that Of selecting
this early in the season their fall
and winter wears from a compara-
lively band new stock at about cost.
The Piecing Arrow Sale will no
doubt be the greatest sale ever held
in Newberry, for explanation Of the
- Arrow Sensation' we call atten-
ton to the big ad of the Ewart-Perry
company. so those who were "cry-
ing should wear a smile to the
Piercing Arrow Sale Saturday.

REGISTERING SLOWLY.
The Registration Books for Primary
Close on 13th.-If You Want to
Vote Get Registered.

The voters for the city election
are registering very indifferently.
Probably they do not recall that in
order to vote registration certificates
must be secured prior to November
10. The registration Office is open
every day, and Of course registration
certificates can be secured every day
prior to December 2, but only those
secured prior TO November l9, will
be good for the primary election, and
shat is really the only election that
amounts to anything, because, after
the candidates are nominated the
election is only a matter Of form.
Up to yesterday morning 378 vo-
tiers had been registered for the city
election. They were distributed
among the wards as follows:
Ward One, IS.
Ward Two, 80.
Ward Three, 64.
Ward -Four, CO..
. Ward Five, 100.
