GLASS FACTORY
Tests Constitutionality Of Act of 1909,
Appeals From Judgment

The constitutionality of the act Of
1909 which gave the dispensary COM
mission additional powers in winding
up the affairs of the State dispensary
is attacked in the argument of the
attorneys for the Carolina Glass COM
pany which was filed with the su-
preme court Saturday. The argument
declares that the commission acted be-
yond its jurisdiction when it passed
an overjudgment against the Caro-
lima Glass company of Columbia for

THE RURAL CARRIERS.
President Wicker Urges Every Carrier
10 Attend Convention Next
Monday.

Monday.
y
The State convention, which meets
with us this year, is only a few weeks
off. 1t is, therefore, important that
we get together on May 80 to elect
delegates and to appoint committees
on reception, entertainment finance
etc.
We have 26 carriers in this county,
and we hope to be able, when the
State convention meets, to boast that
every carrier in the county is a mem
ber of the association. Twenty-slx
members would give US four votes;
if as many as ten substitute carriers
will ioin the association we will be
entitled to five votes. At our 'last
county convention it was decided to
accept substitute carriers at reduced
rates and it is hoped that they will
take advantage of this cut rate this
year.
Let me urge every carrier in the
county to be present May 80, rain or
shine. There will be something about
midday to interest you. Be sure to
come and persuade your Sub" to
come withoytu. Come, whether you
are a member of the association or
not.
Mayor Cole. L. Blease has consent
ed to address our meeting on the Both,
and he will have some helpful sugges-
tons to offer, which you can not at
ford to miss. Mr.. I. H. Hunt, nresl-
dent of the chamber of commerce, Will
also give us a talk that will mean
much to us.
1t is hoped and believed that the
people of the town and the county Will
cooperate with us in our efforts to
make the coming State convention in
July a, complete success. Both the
town and the county have much fc
gain by largely-attended convention.

will visit Newberry next July Will

ouaintances at home, the farmer, the
merchant, the manufacturer, the me-

and many others, and when these car

friends and their patrons, they will be
piled with questions like these: "Wells
how did you like Newberry?' How
did the people treat you?" "What sorG
of town have they got?" 'HoW about
their schools, churches and railroad
facilities ?'' "How about their mills
and mill villages?" "How about the;
farm lands of the county," "Do the
farmers seem to be prospering" do
they raise anything besides cotton%'
do the farmers find ready market
for their producer" did you find good
roads?"
These, or similar questichs Will DC
asked every carrier on his return
home from our convention, and one
or two hundred rural carriers leaving
Newberry and scattering out all over
South Carolina will have a message
tc deliver as they traverse the rura'
Districts or talk with their acqualn7

went in perfect harmony, they all en-
ioy themselves at the little county
reunions and I know they do at the
State reunion because they can see
more of their dear old comrades who
wore the grey and fought under the
stars and bars. Some Of them are ale
ready making preparations for the
coming reunion to be held in Spartan

joy themselves. -.-.. ...

sion, helped the old veterans TO nno

helps. I would like to say here 20

or whoever has it in charge to pass a
bill that no one can take nor give an
order or a mortgage On their pension.

charge made by w. Frank Knox,
chairman of the Republican state cen

Mr.. Hemans has had q great deal
to say In his speeches about the low
assessments placed on mining proper
ties In the upper peninsula. He has
charged tnat these properties are a.
sessed ut only about 20 per cent OF
their real value. Mr.. Knox has had
man nosing around Heman's home

has been made, according to the in
formation furnished Knox. that the
&c big corporations doing business In
that county. with asseta OF $500. 900
considerably less than 20 per cent.
And 80 far as anyone has heard.
MIR. Hemans has never raised his
voice in protest against the condi-
tons prevailing in his own county
and has never done anything to rem
edy these conditions" said Mr..
Knox. s s--~s--- -.
AS a matter. of Fact, IT looks as
though Mr.. Hemans were attacking
the mining companies simply for the
effect II will have on the voters in
the lower peninsula. He has nothing
to lcse In the upper peninsula by
talking that way. 80 he il perfectly
