AS WAS EXPECTED.
Comptroller General Jones Finds Au-
ditor Werts' and Treasurer Epps'
Books Perfect.

Comptroller General Jones was In
Newberry on last Friday checking up
the annual settlement of Auditor Eu-
gene S. Werts and Treasurer Jno. l..
Epps. As usual he found the busi-
ness all right here The Herald and
News and the people of Newberry ex-
peeted that, and it is gratifying to re-
port nice things in connection with It,
The comptroller general said that
he did in two hours here the work that
sometimes requires two weeks at oth-
er places. That was fine to begin with
He was we'll pleased with the neat ap-
pearance of the offices and surround
ings, as well as delighted with the ac-
curacy and efficiency of the officers,
and expressed the hope that Mr.. Werts
and Mr.. Epps would continue in Office
as long as he was comptroller general
so satisfied is he that as long as they
are in Office the books Of the auditor
and the treasurer of Newberry county
will be straight.
Comptroller Jones told Mr.. r: C..
Counts, the foreman of the grand jury,
that if all the auditors and treasurers
of the State were as thorough and re-
liable as are Auditor Werts and Treas
urer Epps, there would be no need
of the experts travelling around and
examining books-they would go out
Of business in South Carolina.
1t is a good thing to have officers
who stand so we'll.
Mr.. G. G. Sale told the reporter. that
the comptroller told him that Auditor
Werts took to the business as easily
as a duck takes to picking up June
bugs. Treasurer Epps has heard some
nice things, too. The stock OF the
auditor and of the treasurer Of New
berry county is way above par and
getting higher. 1t is well to repeat
and circulate good things said OF otn-
ers while they are living and can en-
Joy them.

ITALY WANTS HOLY
Land FOR VATICAN
Proposed to Give Jerusalem
to Pope

Berlin, Nov. 4.-Jerusalem and
the Holy Land are to be wrasted from
Moslem sovereignty and presented "a
the Pope as a papal state.
This startling announcement comes
direct from the vatican from a source
credited here to be authoritative and
reliable.
The proposed peace terms between
Italy and Turkey, according to this in
formation include the following;
The Holy Land will be presented to
the Pope, thus restoring to him tenn
poral power.
This will bring about a reconcilla-
ton between the vatican and the
quirinal, bringing to an end the self
imposed retirement of the Holy Father
since the papal states in Italy were
seized by the Italian government.
For the first time since the days of
the crusades the cross will replace the
crescent in the land most sacred to
those protesting the Christian re-
ligion.

Actors Bride, Seeing Embrace ON

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-The thought
that her husband, Clarence Lacey,
vaudeville performer, should kiss any
woman other than herself, even in the
course Of his duties on the stage. was
SO lntolerable to Ruth Lacey, a bride
OF few weeks, that she tried to kill
herself to-day by eating bichloride of
mercury tablets. Having witnessed 4
performance in which he had to take
girl in his arms and kiss her, Lacey's
bride protested and sobbed sand went
against it.
But it's only in the days work"
said her husband 1T is only a mere

Then he left her to go to the theatre

YEARS CLOSE
SHOULD SEE
Paving ENDED
ACCORDING TOCITY ENGINEER
Sewer Improvement Will Re-
quirG Much Longer Time

1t is the opinion Of the City Engi-
naer Ansley that the paving Of tGe
streets of the city will be completed
by the end of the year, the time when
this work is scheduled to be finished.
There have been many delays IN
the work, some of which could not
have been foreseen and guarded
against; but, in spite of these Mr..
Ansley thinks that Amoricus will
have all of it's principal business
streets paved before the new year
shall have been ushered in.
There are a good many sections of
streets yet to be paved before all
will be paved in accordance with the
plans as originally outlined 1t is
promised that the Jackson street pay
ing will be completed during the pres
ent week. Windsor avenue is ready
for the concrete to be laid on it, and
as this is only a short section of
street the work there will not occupy
a very long time.
In addition to these streets, a sec
ton of Lamar, Church, Lee, Forsyth,
and all of Cotton avenue to the Gem
trail station remain to be completed.
OF these Cotton avenue will likely be
the last that the paving gang will
start to work on, as it is planned to
finish up the work of paving here by
completing the paving of Cotton ave-
nue. as the last item of this much
needed and greatly appreciated civic
Improvement.
The sewerage work requires much
more time than the paving, as is true
from the nature of the work and the
delays incident thereto The contract
for the sewer Improvements also al
lows very much more time for the
completion of this work, the contract
giving April /, of next year as the
final limit for the carrying out of the
contract
AS probably not more than one
fourth of the sewer improvements
have been completed up to date, it is
likely true that the contractor in
charge of this work will require all,
or very nearly all, of the time allot-
ed for that purpose. A great part of
the more difficult sewer work has
already been done, however, so that
the work will progress more rapidly
henceforWard.

NOTORIOUS OUTLAW CAUGHT
His Pal Was Shot During the
Encounter

Augusta, Ga, Nov. A special to
the Herald from Waynesboro says:
"Old Bill" Miner was captured and
his pal, Tom Moore, killed while re-
sisting arrest at ST. Clair last night
He was discovered by negro porters
on the Georgia and Florida road in
box car.
"Old Bill" threw UP his hands re-
luctantly, but Moore fired once and
was shot in the face.
While reposing in a box car the
slumbers of Minor and Tom Moore
were rudely disturbed, by the negro
porter on the Georgia, Florida rail-
road calling out rs it cold in there?"
This gave a clew to the searchers
who were on the lookout for the two
criminals yesterday morning and J.
W. Whittle summoned help and sur
rounded the car
A demand was made for them to-
come out and "Old Bill" came out
SLOWLY and upon being told to throw
up his hands, he put up one hand and
held the other one on his gun, maga-
zine pistol which he reluctantly left
in his pocket and put up the other
hand. Moore showed fight and was
shot in the face by one of the posse.
Two shots We're fired, one by Tom ana
one at him.
Eary this morning Minor was
brought to Waynesboro for safe keep
