The chamber of commerce OF
Spartanburg has sent delegation OF
boosters to the exposition at Knox
vile, Tenn. The large delegation has
gone in a private car with the sole
purpose of advertising Spartanburg.
The Herald and News suggested
sometime ago the advisability of send
ing somebody from Newberry to the
Appalachian exposition at Knoxville
and also to the exposition at Cincin-
natl, but some how the suggestion did
not meet with sufficient approval to
result in action. Of course, it would
cost little money, but it pays for a
community to advertise as we'll as it
pays for the individual merchant. A
delegation has been appointed to go
to the Conservation congress at At
lanta this week, but we do not know
that any Of them will attend. If there
is benefit to be derived from repre-
sentatives going to these meetings,
the community reaps the benefit ane
it should not be expected that the rep
resentative should pay his own ex-
penses as we'll as give his time.

tomobile and never expect 10. And
yet I am hoping that some day may,
but l am afraid it is only one of my
night dreams. And yet there is no
harm to hope. I remember how in
the country debating clubs, in the Ions
ago, We used to discuss the question
whether there was more pleasure in
the pursuit or the possession and from
the way I see the automobiles heading
to the garage I am almost pursuaded
that there is more pleasure in the
pursuit than the possession of an au-
tomobile, except for the garage man.
+ find the following in Frank STAN
toms column in the Atlanta Consti-
tuition headed "The Sure Thing Now"
The Sure Thing Now.
"a sign Of good times in this sec-
tion," says The Adams Enterprise,
"is that no bill collector has been shot,
or even crippled up, in the space Of
six weeks, and that the last one of
'em wears a smiling face; also, that
we have paid the parsons salary, and
the tax collector finds it comparative
ly safe to go his annual rounds"
It seems that some of the bill COL
lectors hereabout feel like hey might
shoot somebody. 7 am glad to know
that good times prevail somewhere
if it is only for the brief space Of six
weeks. Maybe this season will reach
me some of these days. It must be
a great pleasure to be able to be
pleasant and polite to tire 3:l1 c>.1cc-
tor and simply to SAY to hi.o pleas"
receipt your bill aad thea ST down

t;>nk to pay it without looking up

ner is offering "six annual subscrip-
lions for one overcoat." The idea
Of src5 extravaganza in a newsps-
par II l had papec I would feel
like it vas q waste C good white
paper to offer one "annual subscrip-
ton" for an overcoat unless the
weather was quite different from
what it is now. What does any one
want even to think of an overcoat
when the Thermometer registers
around 94 in the shade.

Do You Believe This?

In Denver, where the women are al
lowed
That right for which all suffragettes
must yearn,
A sinful politician watched the crowd
OF men give way to women in their
turn
Who came to cast their ballots, calm
and proud.
Success had smiled upon that candi-
date
Until the women all began to cast
Their votes against him. Face to face
with fate,
He saw a dire defeat approaching
fast,
Could he escape or was it now too late?
You see, the women liked him not at
all;
For he had made his meaning very
plain
When in his speeches he was wont to
call
Most women tickle and all fair ones
vain.
Now they were bound that he should
have a fall.
They said this slanderer should
promptly know
That women was power, not a pet;
It was their wish to deal heavy blow
To hand him what he would not
soon forget;
Sc they advanced in swarms upon the
foe.
That willy politician, so they say,
Within his brain devised a scheme.
In truth,
It's full success soon made his manner
gay.
He put mirror in each voting booth,
Delayed 10000 votes and won the day!

My path was glad in the English grass,
for behind me rippled and curl
The corn that was life to the sailor

And later I went to the north again,
and day by day drew down
A little more of the purple hills to join
to my kingdom brown;
And the whaups wheeled out to the
moorland, but the gray gul1s
stayed with me
Where the Clydesdales drummed a
marching song with their feath-
cred feet on the lea.
Then the new lands called me west

A toll to my stoutest daring and foe

are going to carry out your platform.
I heard a man say once that political
platforms were akin to platforms on
passenger trains. They were built to
get in on and not to stand on. Well,
that may be, but still it creates q lit
tie amusement to have platforms and
to hear the candidates discuss them.
But I am not in politics and am just
making a few passing remarks.

were fourishing On the edge of the
inner side of the sidewalk and that
there was a precipice there perpendic-

dred feet and I wondered if some
stranger were to walk along there
going from the train to the hotel and
accidentally stepped in that precipice
what he would think Of the town, and
if he would have q good action for
damages. And then I did not see that

I have no doubt that this humani-

interest Of the clerks at heart, and
yet I am afraid it is hopeless task.
In fact I have about reached the age
where I have concluded it is a safe
thing to let every body attend to his
own business and run it as he sees
best. Now, 7 doubt not if everybody
would close shop at 10 o'clock on
Saturday night everybody would get
just as much trade as would be OBJ
tanned by keeping open to midnight,
but how are you going to get every
body Of one mind. I am pleased to
pass on your suggestion and to ask
the merchants what they think of it.

I have received the following:
Mr.. Idler: You say you seldom go
out at night since you are growing
too old, so suppose you do not know
that our merchants keep to an old
small town custom Of keeping their
stores open on Saturday night until
midnight. Once upon time this may
have been necessary, but surely now
our town is too large for such a nee
essity when We have phones and de-
livery wagons and automobiles. Can't
every body get through with their
buying by 10 o'clock, at least, and
let the poor tired clerks go home and
rest for Sunday? See if you can't
make the merchants think so.

CELEBRATES
CROP REPORT

Bismarck, N, D., July 7.--Commis-
sioner of Agriculture and Labor Gill
breath has issued The following crop
report for the week ending July s:
Reports from thirty three counties,
with the exception of Bowman county,
in the extreme southwestern corner of
the state, are distinctly less favorable
than week ago. The prospect for even
half crop of wheat Throughout the
state appears to be more remote than
ever, and only the most favorable con-
ditions from this date to harvest will
insure that percentage in the more
fortunate counties.
Grain PIowed Under.
Thousands of acres of wheat are
being plowed under, mostly in the
heavy wheat producing counties, and
are either being seeded to some forage
crop or prepared for next season.
These conditions apply generally to ali
small grains with the exception Of
flax, which may yet give fair yield
under favorable conditions. Corn is
holding its own well and making re-
marlIable growth, considering the gen.
eral lack of precipitation, but must
have rain and plenty of it very soon If
1t is to make good thep resent promise.
Hay Crop Is Slim.
Hay prospects continue to be very
bad, and the forage question is be-
coming very serious, having in many
counties been deferred until after har-
vest in the hope OF securing heavier
swath. Potatoes are holding their own
fairly well, and also need moistur
Garden truck Is suffering along with
other vegetation. Grasshoppers in con-
siderable quantities are reported from
Grand Forks county. One expert places
the average crop of wheat at 25 per
cent of normal

the public will have something good

One of the most attractive window
