T. P. Adams Magistrates Constable


Mr.. Thos. P. Adams, who served the
city most efficiently as policeman dur
ing the past year, was not an appll-
cant for reelection to position on
the force, having accepted the posi-
tion as Magistrate Samples constable.
Policeman Adams made faithful or
ficer, being thoroughly competent and
conscientious in the discharge Of his
duty. He had assurances that he
would be reelected should he desire
the position again, but did not apply
for the reason stated.
All the police officers Of the city
for the year 1910 we're faithful and
efficient, and there: was little disorder
in the city during the year. The
Christmas holidays gave striking ex-
ample Of the efficiency Of the force.
The large crowds we're handled so
that the streets were kept clear OF
crowds congregating and interfering
with those desiring to pass, and IN
many other ways the force showed its
efficiency.
The new force is composed of men
who will make good officers, some OF
them having served for many years
on the police force.

4 HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Bessie Hazel Has Entire Scalp
Torn OH by Machinery in MOllo.
hon Mill.

A horrible accident occurred in the
card room of the Mollohon cotton
mill on Saturday morning, when Mrs.
Bessie Hazel had her entire scalp
torn off as the result of her hair catch
ing in the machinery.
Mrs. Hazel was under speeder
cleaning of the machine while the
machinery was running. Her hair
caught in a set screw. on the revolv-
ing top comb, and wound around the
comb, jerking off the scalp. The whole
scalp was taken off an inch above the
eyebrows in front, an inch above the
ears on the side, and just above the
lower edge of the hair on the back OF
the neck.
Following the accident Mrs. Hazel
walked a short distance, when she
was given immediate assistance and
taken home Medical aid was i'm
mediately summoned, and Drs. Ron-
seal and Settler, DR.. W. E. Pelham,
Jr:,, DR.. P. G. B1lesor, and DR.. T. W.
Smith were with the injured woman.
It is thought now that there is a pos
sibility of her recovery, though the IN
jury is most grave.
Mrs. Hazel is a. daughter of Mrs.
Troutman. She has been twice mar
ried, and has three small children, two
girls and one boy. =
The mill authorities state that 1t is
positively against orders for the help
to clean THE machinery while it is run

DIVIDENDS MAKE HAPPY.
More Than $4,000 Distributed by
Corporations Of County-Pros-
porous Enterprises.

The banks, cotton mills and other
industries Of the city and county OF
Newherry declared semi-annual divl-
dends on the first Of this month,
amounting to more than $4,000. Thus
amount of money put in circulation in
the community should permit the new
year to start out comparatively easy
in the money market Fortunately
most OF the stock Of these institutions
is owned by our own people, and,
therefore, the dividends will go to
them. The Commercial bank declares
the largest semi-annual dividend OF
any Of these institutions and has a
surplus equal to it's capital stock.
The .Newberry Cotton mill pays a
semi mi-annual dividend Of 5 per cent.
on ali of it's stock, amounting to $780,
900.
The Bank Of Pon1aria, at meeting
held a few days ago, put aside $1,000
to undivided profits and ordered a
5 DER cent. semi-annual dividend. This
bank has been in operation only a
short time and has been very success
fui.
The Exchange bank passed up Its
usual semi-annual divd end at this
time. The operations Of the bank
have been very successful during the
past six months, and under its new
management, but it was thought best
at this time to carry the earnings to
the undivided profit account, and pass
the dividend.
The Farmers bank at Chappells
has been in operation only about ?
year and will mo-; hold its annual
meeting until some time later in the
month.
William Coleman and company,
bankers, at Whitmire have quite a
nice sum in the shape Of undivided
profits, but as this is banking insti-
tuition without any capital stock, OF
course, no dividend could be declared
on the capital stock.
The following are, the institutions
that have declared their usual semi
annual dividends: -
The Commercial bank, 6 per
