notice from the papers that sever
al gentlemen have been spoken of for
mayor. They are all good men, and
I am not going to say one word
against any one of them but how
would Zach Wright do? He is not a
politician and I believe he is a clean
progressive citizen. Or Geo. Summer?
Then select live progressive board
of aldermen. I would like to see the
old town get move on her. Then let
me, while I am at it, suggest the fol-
lowing board of Aldermen: Ward 1,
r. G. Perry; Ward 2, J. E. Norwood;
Ward 8, Robert Norris; Ward 4, E.
A. Griffin; Ward 5, D. B. Chandler.
How does that strike you? And quit
bank fights and get busy for New
berry. None of these have held office
or sought it and are not now seeking
it. That's to their credit. They have
no records in politics but good records
in their spheres of work.

There is one thing Newberry can
boast that few other towns can.
It has number of men
who are able to grow five
to ten bushels of corn to the acre and
fine crops of hay and weeds on land
that would readily sell from seven to
eight thousand dollars the acre. I
would like to know another town that
has so many men who are able to do
this. Then we have some others who
have land that would bring even more
than this that are using it to store
old boxes and junk of all kinds for
which they are charging no rent be-
cause it is so beautiful and artistic.
II you don't believe what I am saying
you just take a walk around the city
some morning before breakfast.

This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman

the cause of it all. Keep the kid

sick kidneys and keep them well.
Here is Mt. Sterling testimony to
prove it:
Charles Wilson, II Richmond

AT my work | am on my feet
nearly all the time and it seemed
to weaken my kidneys, causing
backache. My bladder became af-
fected and was annoyed by too
frequent passages of the kidney
secretions, especially at night. |
was finally told to give DOan's
Kidney Pills trial and procured

WITH A SMILE
On her Face Girl Goes To Death
Over Niagara Falls.

On Feb. 7, a young woman,
Mss Beatrice r. Snyder, of Buffa.
10, committed suicide at Niagara
Falls. A park policeman paid no
attention when she first appeared
on the path leading down to the
river bank. Then she began to
run toward the river, it was too
late to intercept her.
Without a moments hesitation
she waded into the stream and
into deep water. In an instant
she was whisked from her feet and
carried rapidly over the falls AS
her body swept over the brink of
the cataract she turned her face
toward wOuld-be rescuers and
smiled farewell to them.
On the bank was found a hand
bag and in it this note:
Mamma and Papa: May you
both forgive me for bringing this
awful disgrace upon you in these
years of your life. Also may our
Heavenly Father forgive all my
sins. But | have been very good,
thank God. With my heart full
of love for all your kindness and
tender loving, goodbye, Loving
~, BEATRICE.
With the lower river TANNED
with ice there is little hope that
the body will be recovered.

Washington Ministerial ASS0Cla-
ton Scores "ROman Her
arChy."

Criticising the action of the Va
tican for refusing former Vice
President Fairbanks an audience
with the Pope because he would
not cancel his engagement to ad-
dress the Methodist churchmen in
Rome, the Ministerial Association
of Washington adopted set of
resolutions framed by commit
tee headed by Bishop Cranston, of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
in which the action of the Vatican
authorities is described as "A
Characteristic expression of the
real spirit of the Roman hier-
archy."
I'VE congratulate our former
Vice President on his manly ex-
hibition of the dignity of free
American manhood in this most
significant test in Rome" says
one of the resolutions.
Protest against recognition by
the Government of the Vatican is
made in strong terms, described
as inconsistent with national ira
ditions and "a sanction of ecclesi-
astical assumption outgrown by
the world and a distinct men
ace to religious liberty"
Bishop Cranston sent the fol-
lowing cablegram to Mr.. Fair
banks:
Your dignified vindication of
American federation heartily in
dorsed by our clergy and people. "

Taxable Property at
100000.

AT the meeting or the WlncheS-
ter City Council the taxable prop
erty of the Burlev Tobacco Society
for the years 1867 were fixed at
100000 and for the year 1909,
$5OO,0O0. This property had been
omitted by the assessor for these
years. Mr.. LeBus, president of
the Society, was notified TO APP
pear. City Attorney f. H. Hag-
gard was directed to take the
proper steps to collect the taxes
on these amounts. The Council
also assessed the property of Mr..
w. H. Mitchell, which lies west
of the Courtview Hotel property,
at 81, 200 and the property of q.
H. Lohmeyer, known as the
Courtview property, at $500 for
the year 1907.
Another matter requested by
the Commercial Club was discuss
ed, that of changing the name of
Lexington avenue. 1t was refer
red to the Street Committee who
will report next meeting. Every
member seemed as anxious that it
should be changed, but a name
could rot be agreed upon.
The Council is arranging to Re-
gin work on the sewerage system
early in the spring. An ordinance
regulating the duties of the City
Engineer in charge of the work

kind of sewer; have charge of con-
structing all bridges and city

some of the saloon keepers to loaf
in their place of business. An
order was given the police depart
ment to take notice of this. Lii
cense will be refused those who
continue this practice.
The salary of the City Assessor
was fixed at $500. In order that
the Council may know how many

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Issues Public Statement Con-
corning Fairbanks Incident
In Rome.

The following statement was
offered the Associated Press by
Archbishop Ireland. at Chicago on
February 8:
''The people of America may
easily misapprehend the circum-
stances in Rome which led the
Vatican to refuse an audience with
the Holy Father to Charles W.
Fairbanks after he, the former
Vice President of the United
States, would have made public
address before the Methodist AS
ISOLATION of that city.
1T is not a question of Fair
banks being a Methodist or of
going to the Methodist church in
Rome for Sunday 1evotions. 1t
is question of appearing to give
the fullest approval to the work
of the Methodist Association in
Rome. American Methodists in
Rome are active and, may readi-
ly say, pernicious proselytes. The
Methodist Association is not in
Rome to serve and meet American
Methodists, but to pervert from
the Catholic faith all those upon
whom they can bring influence to
bear. The purpose Of the work
of the Methodist Association in
Rome is confessed openly and the
means employed is by no means
honorable. They take every ad-
vantage of the poverty of the poor
of Rome.
Books are circulated and dis
played in the windows of their
book stores that are ISLANDERS
against the Catholic faith, the
Holy Pontiff at Rome, and a mis-
representation of the whole Cath
ole system.
Nov public address by a
former Vice President of the
United States before the Metho-
dist Association can have no other
meaning in the eye of the Roman
public than the approval of Amer
lea on the propaganda of the
Methodist Association. Had the
Holy Father, the guardian of the
spiritual interests of the Catholic
church of the world, Smilingly
welcomed Mr.. Fairbanks to an
audience on the following day, in
what other position would he APP
pear than to be giving his appro-
val of the propaganda of the
Methodist Association b e fore
which the address had been given9
1t was simply impossible for
the Holy Father, in his official
position as Sovereign Pontiff of
the Catholic church, to do aught
else than decline to receive Mr..
Fairbanks"

POINTED COMPARISON.

The actual fire loss in the United
States due to the destruction of
buildings and their contents
to S215, OSI, 7O9 in 1907.
This was SOL per capita. The
per capita loss in the cities of the
six leading European countries
amounted to but thirty-three cents.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1910-02-16
WASTE OF MATERIAL.

1t has been ascertained by of
ficials of the United States that
cheaper tireproof materials can be
used to advantage in construction
that three to six times the neces-
sary amount of material is habitu-
ally used in structural work in the
United States, that the fire loss in
the United States is eight times as
much per capita as in any country
in Europe, and that the great fire
waste in the United States is due
principally to the predominance of
frame buildings and to defective
construction and equipment.
Tests to determine the strength
and fire resistance of building ma
terials are still being made and are
available to anyone for general use.
Not one person in a thousand
knows that the United States Gov
ernment owns buildings that cost
more than 3O0,000,OO0, and is
spending $4,000, 900 a year for
new buildings.

FIRE LOSSES.
Waste Que to Con-
StruCtiOn and Inferior
Material.

Fire levies upon Americans each
year an enormous tax calculated
by United States Government of
ticials at almost 81, 100000 day
and ,449 lives a year.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1910-02-16
FIRE LOSS ENORMOUS.

In 1907 the cost of building con-
struction for the entire country is
conservatively estimated at ST.,
900, 100000. Nearly one-half of the
value of all the new buildings con-
structed within one year is de-
stroyed by fire.
The annual fire cost is greater
than the value of the real property
and improvements in either West
Virginia, North or South Dakota
or Alabama. In addition to this
waste of wealth ard natural re-
sources, 1 ,449 persons were killed
and $500 were injured in fires in
the United States in 1907.

NO INSURANCE CARRIED.

1t will be a surprise to everyone
to learn that not one cent of inSur-
ance against loss by fire is carried
on these valuable buildings. In
surance at the ordinary rate would
cost more than 100000 a year,
and the Government avoids this
great tax by constructing build
i4gs that are securely fireproof.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1910-02-16


1t has been learned that the diff
ference in cost between fireproof
and inhammable buildings is less
than generally supposed and that
this difference will soon become so
small that it will cease to encour-
age the construction of himsy
buildings.
After a careful investigation it
has been determined that the total
cost of fires in the United States in
1907, excluding that of forest fires
and the marine losses, amounted to
the enormous sum of over $3.50
1875, 900, a tax on the American
people exceeding the total value of
all the gold, silver, copper and pc
troleum produced in the United
States in that year.
