The Herald and News mentioned
that Mr.. Robt. P. Fair had been pro-
noted to the position of inspector OF
agencies in the Standard Oil COM
pany, but omitted to mention that MS
headquarters are at Charlotte. bob"
will make a good inspector.

Speaking Of a good Inspector, re-
minds that there is a man i this city
who makes a good expecter, and he is
always on to his job-always x
pecting something. BLESSED are they
that expect nothing" according to
the revised proverbs. .

On the subject of expectancy, a fell
low in Newberry has been expecting
a turkey from Laurens ever since last
Christmas. The indications are that
the turkey will reach him for next
Thanksgiving day. He is glad that
there are only about six months more
Of waiting.

The next time a spectacle seller
Igoes through the country claiming to
be. DR.. G. W. Conner, look at the pic
= ture in The Herald and News, and If
the mans looks don't tally with It
report the matter and follow it up
for S25. DR.. Connor has a good look
ing picture in the paper and knows
now to advertise. 1t pays to advertise.
Merchants, and other business men,
study up something new and catchy
in the way of advertising.

That is a beautiful cigar sign dis
played in show windows-"Otto the
Great" The Otto must be a good
smoker. But Otto the Great Sachem
is a better smoker when it comes to
smoking out the pale faces and gath
ering them into the Red Mems reser-
ration. Otto is great.

II at any time a Herald and News
reader should find it impossible to ex-
press language suitable to occasion,
let him take it to the express Office.
Capt. Smith Langford will attend to
the matter for him. 1t is, sometimes
very difficult for a ! fellow to express
his W language, simply because
words are Inadequate, or words to
that effect. everal such occasions
have recently arisen in Newberry.
A single little letter misplaced can
create confusion. All writer's run up
against this. The worst yet was
when a machine on another paper
made "oat culture read "cat cul-
ture." All have troubles of their
own. ..

That stale joke they get off in Co
lumbia enthusiastically about
spending a whole week in Newberry

, But when a nincum reads that a
man and his wife. were killed in an
automobile wreck in Ohio last Sun
day, and that a lady died in Pennsyl-
vania from injuries in an automobile
accident on the same day-Sunday-
and that a touring car was wrecked
In New York State Sunday night,
same date, the occupants receiving
serious injuries, and that in another
town in Pennsylvania early Sunday
morning, the same quiet Sabbath, the
Rrst Sunday after Trinity, two men
were instantly killed and another
man fatally injured in an insane or
frenzied desire to drive eighteen
miles in 80 minutes: I say when he
reads all this and more, often, he
would rather remain a nincum and
go the limit of his mile walk to din
ner and back every day.

It is significant that so many acct
dents of the above character occur on
Sunday. Remember the Sabbath day
