Orphanage Work Day.

For the last few years the various
orphanages OF the State have united
in asking the good people of the State
to give the proceeds of one days labor
to the orphans. The last Saturday in
September has been st apart as Work
DayN and all, both grown people and
children, who feel interested in help
ing the orphans are asked to give that
days labor or income to the orphan
age of their choice. There are about
25O orphans at Thornwell orphanage,
Presbyterian) Clinton, S. c.; almost
as many at Connie Maxwell (Baptiso,.
Greenwood, S. c.; 225 at Epworth Or
phanage (Meth.) Columbia, S. c.: 80
at The Church Home (EpiscopaD,
Yorkville, S. c. -
These orphan children are being
clothed, fed and educated entirely by
the gifts of the people, and it is ear
nestly hoped that a liberal response
will be made to this appeal. Let none
fail to send the wages or income of
one days labor to the orpanage OF
his choice. Make qemittances by
check, P. O. Money order or by ex-
press to either of the four orphanages
named below.

Theirs Without Quibble or Question

Editor Herald and News: 1 have
just seen the publication of the list
of subscribers to Mrs. Evans petition
for the use Of the old court house as
a rest room for the ladies Of the coun-
ty. Now. I want to say that whatever
the ladies of Newberry want, so far
as l am concerned it is theirs, with
out quibble or question, and I not
only will vacate with pleasure, but
will swing a mop to make it presenta-
bic for the choicest creations Of a

I notice that all the merchants
practically all of thenl-haye signed
a petition asking that a rest room be
provided in the old court house build
ing for the ladies who come to town
from the country. That is one move
in the right direction. All live towns
are doing this. l have often wondered
if the good women of the country did
not dread a trip to the town with
lot Of little children and no place to
20 where they would feel at home to
refresh themselves and their children.
Such a place, to be worth while, Will
have to have constant and good at
tention. If this old building is to
stand where it is the entire down
stairs should be used for this purpose,
and it ought to be fixed up and kept
in neat and attractive condition so
that it would in fact be a rest room.
The up stairs could be made into a
convenient convention hall, but 10 do
so would require constant attention
and proper care.
| saw a man the other day shovel
ing the mud off one of these cement
sidewalks we have in Newberry. Well,
that was the proper thing for him to
do, if it was on the sidewalk in front
of his door, but the point I want to
make is that the walk was not put
down right, or there is something
wrong with the drainage along side
that sidewalk, or the mud would not
have been up there. What We lack
here is the intelligent direction OF
what little permanent improvement
We undertake.
By the way, when is Mayor Lang
ford going to begin the paving of the
public square and Main street? 1t
will soon be time for another election
and if he is going to do anything ne
should get busy. Start at the pubic
square and build out and do your
work good as you go along and you
will not have. to do it over again AFTER
each rain.
I wonder if there are any really
public spirited men in NaWoerry, VINO

ALL YOU NEED IS A
CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach,
Coated Tongue or Constipated
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out--the head
ache, the billiousness, the indiges-
ton, the sick sour stomach and foul
gasses-turn them out tonight and
keep them out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day of dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and
regulate your stomach; remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting
food and that misery-making gas;
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out of the system all the
decomposed waste matter and poison
in the intestines and bowels. Then
you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means a clear
head and cheerfulness for months.
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe
or sicken.

ROOSEVELT SCENTS
WAR AND RISES TO
SOUND A WARNING

New York, Nov. Theodore
Roosevelt has an article on "Arbitra-
ton, Pretense and Reality" In the
current number of the Outlook. 1t
says in part:
Surely the real friends of peace
in this country ought to be able to
profit by the events that have hap
pened in China and In the Mediter-
ranean during these fall months,
since the arbitration treaty was con-
sidered in the Senate.
During these months, we have
seen a widespread revolt in China
with utter disorganization of the en-
pire and we have seen war unex-
pectedly break out between Italy
and Turkey. In China there has
doubtless been much excuse for the
revolt because of tyranny and mis-
government and this tyranny and
misgovernment has been greater
