Landlady and Sausages.

A good story of a specimen of the
ordinary theatrical landlady is told
by J. L. Shine. One Saturday even

ed a pound of sausages for their

eight to the pound, but when they
arrived at the table there we're only
five. Thereupon the landlady wa1
called in to account for the missi
links. "Madam,'' said Mr.. Sh
severely, II gave you eight

The city Of Greenville has recent
" voted three hundred thousand dol
lars, in bonds for the extension Of
the sewerage system and for pay
ing. Newberry did the right thing
in voting for the extension Of the
sewerage, and should have includ-
ed in the bonds a sufficient amount
to have done some street paving. We
ought to spend at least fifty thous.
and dollars in street paving and there
is no good judgment in waiting. It
would have been much easier to
have included this in the election,
which was held for sewerage, than it
Will be to vote the bonds for street
paving separately. Newberry has
reached the stage in her growth
when it is necessary to have some
better streets. It is economy in the
end to build permanent streets.

Judge Robert Aldrich, who held
the criminal court in Greenwood last
week, sentenced white man, who
was convicted in his court for selling
liquor, to the penitentiary or the
chaingang for six months at hard la
Dor without the alternative Of paying
a fine. The alw gives this discretion
to the court, and if it we're known
by persons convicted of this offence,
they would not be given the alterna-
tive of a fine, there would be fewer
violations of the law. In most cases
a blind tiger operator does not mind
paying the fine and it has no terrors
for him; he looks upon it as license
tax. If he were not permitted to pay
out in cases Of this kind and were re-
quired to put on stripes he would be
more careful about violating the law.

RURAL POLICE.

We notice that the last legislature
provided rural police in several OF
the counties. Some six or eight years
AGO when the editor Of The Herald
and News was a member Of the leg
islature, he introduced bill prov1d-
ing for rural police throughout the
State but we suppose at that time ne
was little in advance Of public SEN
timent along that line as the bill d1d
not meet with favor.
We notice that in Anderson county
an act was passed providing for two
rural police and in addition to the
constitutional oath, which all officers
are required to take the following
affirmation is required Of these two
rural policemen:
tsI further solemnly swear (or at
frm) that during my term of Office
as county policeman I will study the
act creating my Office and presecrlb-
ing my duties and win be alert and
vigilant to enforce the criminal laws
of the State and to detect and bring
to punishment every violation OF
the same and will conduct myself at
all times with due consideration to
all persons and will not be Influenced
in any matter on account of personal
bias or prejudice, so help me God. =,
We are interested to know just how
the rural police will meet the favor
of the people. We believe that the
people who iye in the rural districts
should have the same protection as
those who live in incorporated cities
or towns and while it has been the
policy Of the State for a good many
years to provide special officers to
enforce the liquor laws, we have al
ways held that it would he just as
easy and it was just as'important that
other laws should be enforced and
these special constables could do po-
lice duties while looking after VIOLA
tors of the liquor 1aws.
The State has spent a great deal Oh
money in the effort to enforce liquor
laws. Two or three mounted police
in each county could accomplish a
great deal in the maintenance OF la"
and order in the rural districts. VI
course they could not cover the eoun-
tv but the fact that such officers were
on duty would have a wholesome et-
feet in restraining violation OF law.

sented a lovely appearance.
Business and pleasure were com
bined in the meeting. Mrs. ]. A.
Burton, the president Of the chapter,
rendered her resignation, but the
chapter refused to accept it desiring
Mrs. Burton to retain the Office. In
the absence of Mrs. Burton, Mrs. R.
D. Wright presided. Mrs. Burton has
filed the Office Of president with
conspicuous ability, and the members
Of the chapter do not want her to give
up her position unless she should fell
that it is absolutely necessary.

Automobile accidents, for the
most part, may be attributed to poor
ly adjusted brakes, according to
Charles T. Jefery, general man
ager Of the Rambler company, who
comments upon the Importance to the
buyer of a careful examination of
the details of the car that attracts
him.
"Poorly adjusted brakes are DAM
gerous, but are often tolerated be-
cause of the difficulty of adjust
ment," aid Mr.. Jefery. In the
New Rambler, the brake adjustment
may be accomplished by lifting the
aluminium floor board and turning
a thumb screw by hand!
"It is in the little things that
you find evidence Of careful work
manship and quality. The best cars
today are those in which the parts
are fitted accurately, and little
things are included for the comfort
ard convenience of the owner.
"All Rambler parts are required
to fit within one-thousandth Of an
inch. Every part is subjected to
countless inspections, and with the
tests through which every part must
pass, we are sure Of a perfect car
when it leaves the factory.
"Other examples Of important
details are the safety starting device,
a safeguard for the owner, the new
gasoline lock, and the Rambler door
Iock.'

SOCIAL.
Perry-Jacob

VII c&SNUOs
A pretty home wedding was solem-
nized on Wednesday evening as the
twilight hour began when the words
were spoken that made Nh. T. Boyd
Jacobs and Miss Pauline Perry man
and wife.
The beautiful marriage ceremony
Of the Lutheran church was used and
The officiating minister was the Rev.
Edw. Fulenwider, pastor Of the Luth-
eran Church Of the Redeemer.
As the clock in the steeple sound
ed seven two Little flower girls, Miss
es Louise Perry and Margurite' Jae-
obs, sisters Of the bride and groom
respectively, entered the parlor fol-
lowed by Mr.. Wilbur E. Long as best
man and Miss Rutl Perry, sister Of
the bride. They were followed by
the bride and groom. Beneath a
cluster Of pure white wedding bells
and facing the minister, who stood
amidst a bank of palms and lilies and
roses, the two plighted their faith
and entered the journey of life to-
gether. May the sweet chimes Of the
pure white wedding bells ever be
music to their ears and the palms
and the lilies and the roses be but
emblematic of the pathway which lies
before them.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
C. Perry, parents Of the bride, was
beautifully decorated for the happy
occasion. Many friends were pres
ent to bid the young couple God
speed. i AM Ha
The present were numerous and
valuable. After the ceremony an
elegant luncheon was served to the
invited guests.
Miss Pauline is the eldest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. R. C.. Perry and
a favorite among the younger set of
the city.
Mr.. Jacobs is a son Of Mr.. G. W.
Jacobs, a graduate Of Clemson COL
lege, and is engaged in business with
his father, and a young man of ex-
cellent character.
The Herald and News extends its
sincere best wishes for the two.

The Herald and News desires to
state that the bargain sale Of tho pa
per limited to one year to one sub
seriber is still on at one dollar. This
proposition holds good to subscrib-
ers whose names are on our mailing
List as well as to new subscribers. 1t
gives to old subscribers the same op-
portunity that it gives to new sub
scribers. It is an opportunity which
gives the people Of the county as
good semi-weekly newspaper as can
be gotten in South Carolina for the
low price of one dollar for one
year. This opportunity will posi-
lively close on the 3rd day Of May.

The Anderson Intelligences OF this
week has an editorial entitled, "Why
A,wavs Ajbbeville?" in which it pro-
ceeds to make the statement that Ao-
beville county has had the congress-
man from this district so long that
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. Then it snumerates
the fact that the distract was repre-
sented by Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken 1or
wears who was succeeded by judge
j. S. Cothran, who IN turn was Sue
ceeded by Hon. Wyatt Aiken, the
present congressman, all from Abbe'
vile.
Bv some means, which we DO not
pretend to explain, the Intelilgence1
seems to have overlooked the fact
that a citizen Of Anderson county
represented the district for some ten
years previous to the election Oh inc
present congressman.
During that time Newberry man
aged to get one term which we believe
is the only representation that New
berry has had in congress Tor tor1y
wears. If Oconee or Pickens ever
had a congressman in the present ar
raneement Of the district, we do not
recall it. From what we see IN TIE
newspapers Pickens is going to duf-
nish a candidate and Oconee two can
didates.
Greenwood is young county, beng
made up largely Of territory which
once belonged to AbbeValle, and mas
never offered a candidate for con-
prass. We have not heard OF any
prospective candidate from green
wood this year, neither have we heard
of any prospective candidate from
Newberry.

this respect alone. She now has a
member Of the supreme court and two
State officers.
But what matters it? Not the
county from which he halls, but the
man, is what we want. It is to the
credit Of Abbeville if she can furnish
him.

I wonder sometimes if the people
who object to the Sunday paper real
ly know that there is more work
done on Sunday to produce the Mon
day paper than there is to produce
the Sunday paper. I wonder, too, if
some Of these strict Sabbatarians ever
read the 18th chapter of St. Mat
thew. And if they ever read in St.
Mark: "And he said unto them, The
Sabbath was made for man, and not
man for the Sabbath. Therefore the
Son of man is Lord also Of the Sab
bath.'' I believe in day Of rest
and Of an observance of the Sabbath,
but there are so many things that
need the attention Of all good people
that | do not like to see so much
energy wasted when it might be turn
ed to efforts to upift and help and
heal and nurse and feed hungry souls
some at least of which are much more
essential than to prevent the dumping
. load Of hay in your parlor or the
contents Of a Sunday paper in your
mind. In fact it would be helpful
to dump the contents Of d Sunday
paper into some of our minds.
I see Mr.. Wright is going to open
Willowbrook park. And the Newber-
ry Concert band is going to give
concert over in town on Friday after
moon in that beautiful little park
which The Idler has built (in his
mind) in the public square in front
of the old court house. How beauti-
full it would be for the women and
children to go out to this concert if
the coping we're up around this park,
and the grass were growing, and the
flowers were blooming, and the foun-
tains were throwing rainbow sprays
in the sunlight. When will my dream
be reality?
There is one thing I can say, May
or Blease has had two nice crossings
made in Caldwell street so that
church goers to the Baptist, Lutheran
and Methodist churches can no long
er have excuse Of muddy crossings.
And the curbing along the side walks
has been Strengthened and made re-
spectacle. That is one thing to mark
down. .4.izsi iii
