TRUST RIVAL HAD

Independent Refiner.

DENVER, COLO, Aug. 14.-Letters
and kilograms indicating that H. O.
Havemeyer. head Of the American Su,
gar Refining Company, had been the
controlling factor in the beet sugar in
dustry in Colorado, were introduced to-
day in the governments inquiry to dis
solve the Sugar trust. To relieve the
mOnOtOny of the documentary evidence.
c. H. Keyes of Denver who operated a
small independent factory. told of the
strange mishaps that had befallen his
machinery during the time the trust
was seeking control in the Western
states. Molasses, he said. had been
poured into his boilers. and crowbars
had been placed in the machinery
The first of the kilograms was one
from Havemeyer, addressed to Chester
5. Morey. head of the Great Western
Sugar Company, which said:
Can not pay more than $3.50 for
beets." 1t was dated February Is, 1908
An answer in a letter written by Mo-
rey~ assured HaVemeyer that he agreed
heartily regarding this price limit An
other letter, written in 1903 by Morey,
says:
You viii never get the interests of
northern Colorado in proper shape TO
handle acreage and labor until all hands
are in one company" Another letter
told Havemeyer that if he wished to
suggest any new names for the directo-
rate Of the Great Western Sugar Com
pany certain directors would willingly
step aside to allow the HaVemeyer can
didates TO be elected. II had been tes-
titled in New York that Havemeyer had
nothing to DO With the Great Western
concern.

assuredly was going to build something.
and there was the hole to prove it.
1t began when the old structures were
cleared from the lot and one negro and
a mule began delving in the top sur
face Of tomato cans and paving stones.
After a while the negro struck soft
earth and worked faster Soon the hole
was big enough to bury dog in. After
a while you couldn't see the mules
back without leaning over the fence.
Hole One of City's SIGHTS.
The hole became one of the sights
of the city. Visitors came from far
countries TO look into its yawning
depths and place bets on whether the
miners would strike coal or oil The
pile of rock which occupied one corner
was moved again and again that the
earth beneath might be torn out and
hauled to the surface. The city grant
ed MIR. Healy an extension of time for
laying sidewalk there, on the plea
that a towering structure would soon
go up. But instead of going up, the
workmen kept going down Mr. Healy
undoubtedly has the finest basement in
Atlanta, even if he never builds any
thing over it.
Mr.. Hurt beat Mr.. Healy in the first
lap, for the Hurt theater actually was
built 1t wasn't the tall building At
lanta expected. but it proved that Mr..
Hurt really did plan the regeneration
of Edgewood avenue. Mr.. Hurt has
always felt a deep interest in this sec
ton and its upbuilding. even discarding
the sordid reason that he owns most of
it. He has labored to bring business
that way. even as Asa G. Gambler has
striven for the upbuilding Of the north
side. And he is going to have a big
building there if he has to build it him

Hurt and Healy off, to Good Start
SKYSCRAPER RACE is ON|

They're off in the skyscraper steeple-
chase.
William Healy announced this week
he was ready to start work on his
office building in Forsyth street.
Joel Hurt announced his long project
ed Edgewood avenue structure week
ago.
Betting is even on the finish. In
fact, several punches of loose money
have been placed in the future books
for several years, ever since the first
negro stuck the first pick in the Healy
property and the eighteenth reporter
published the ninety seventh story that
Joel Hurt was about to put up that
building
Always in "a Short Time"
For these many years the principal
occupation of city editors on dull days
was to send the cub reporter to learn
from Joel Hurt just when that office
building would be started The cub In
variably came back with the facts
which were these: That the plans were
being drawn, the property was about to
be cleared and within a short time
Atlanta would have a new member in
the skyscraper club. Then next veal
about the same time a new cub would
go get the same story. He didn't see
Mr.. Hurt who wasn't in, but he got the
information from the office"
But Mr.. Healy's building operations
were carried on with no more conceal
ment that that offered by a high board
fence. True, Mr.. Healy was reticent
almost to a fault; true, he preferred tc
abide by his works and not by his
words; certainly, he was never guilty
of deceiying trusting reporters by fill
ing their brains with fantasies. But he

No young woman, IN the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi-
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
TEN for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all It's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
function. No better advice could bs
given young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; 1t is a
medicine that has proven its value
in thousands OF
cases. Mothers MnTuEnfc

and will now furnish water and lights
to the city without cost.
The commissioners have paid all
bills that are due, and in fact have only
one small bill that is not due. We
think this is an excellent report and
makes a good showing for the town,
and we feel that it is due to the com
missioners of public works that this
commentator should be given them
for the business way in which they
have handled this public utility.

The Bishopville Vindicator says that
efforts have been made to induce eth
er Hon. R. 1. Manning or T. G. Nc
Leod to enter the race for governor.
Both of these gentlemen have many
admirers in the State who would be
glad to vote for them, but we doubt If
they can be persuaded to enter now
that the press of the State has practi-
cally given to Judge Jones the right
of-way as the logical man to defeat
Blease. We are satisfied that either
Richard I. Manning or T. G. Mcleod
would make it interesting for the can
didates so far announced, especially II
there is to be wool-pulling campaign
between Blease and Jones.-Manning
Times.
Unless you are going to put up
real middle-of-the-roader, why rot let
Judge Jones and Governor Blease fight
it out? Judge Jones will certainly
prove as strong as any man who has
ever canvassed the State on the doc
trine that the dispensary system was
the best solution of the liquor ques-
tion.-Yorkville Enquirer.
Judging from the reports we nave
been reading i1l the daily newspapers,
copied in the various and sundry
veeklies, we would conclude that
there was absolutely no reason for
the Bishopville vindicator or any
other paper or any other individual,
who was opposed to Governor Blease,
making an effort to induce either Mr..
Manning or Mr.. Mcleod or any one
else to enter the race for governor.
According to the reports in the daily
newspapers, Judge Jones is sweeping
the State clean and by the time the
election comes, there will be nothing
left. 1t may be that this sweeping is
all in the newspaper reports and pos
sibly some of Governor Blease's op-
ponents are beginning to realize this
fact.

We notice that the boys corn club
of York county contains 81 members,
and the statement is made by the
Rock Hill Herald that this is the ban
ner club of the State. We noticed in
the paper the other day that the club
of Greenville contained over one hun
dred boys. Both of these counties are
much larger than Newberry. In fact,
contain fully twice the white popula-
ton of Newberry. The Newberry corn
club has now A members, and we are
hoping to make it so, We do not ex-
pect to be the banner county in mem
bers, but we do expect our boys to be
the banner club in results.

GEN. WILLIE JONES.

Gen. Willie Jones, who has been
State chairman for fourteen years,
and who prior to that was secretary
of the State Executive Democratic
committee for sixteen years, an
nounces that he will not be candi-
date for reelection as State chairman,
and can not serve any longer. Gen
eral Jones makes an ideal State
chairman and has always taken an
active interest in the Democratic par
ty and it will be difficult to fill his Of
fee in all respects.
We notice that there are two names
that have been mentioned, Daniel L.
SinkIer, of Charleston, and L. J.
Browning, of Union. Both are good
men, but it would be better in some
ways if the State chairman lived in
Columbia.

The Herald and News has frequent
ly called attention to the advantages
of the split log drag and has made
special mention of the practical dem
onstration of these advantages by OBJ
serving the road between NeWberry
and Prosperity. The road, as stated,
from Newberry to the railroad cross
ing at Colony church has been regu-
larly dragged, and the road from there
to Prosperity had not been dragged.
We are informed that Mr.. J. w. Hart
man, the mail rider from Prosperity,
secured a team from Dr.. Hunter, and
during the past few days dragged the
road himself. 1t was almost impossi-
BILE for him to ride this road with
the mail.
1t is strange that the people who
live along this road and who have
constant occasion to use it and who
get their mail on it, should require
the mail rider to do this himself. In
fact, we can not understand why the
people of the county generally Go not
use this simple and economical meth
cd of keeping their roads in good con-
dition.

A GOOD SHOWING.

We desire to call attention to the
report of the commissioners of public
works for Newberry, which is publish
ed in this issue of The Herald and
News. This is an interesting report
and should have the attention of every
citizen and tax payer in the city. The
report is a very excellent showing
and the commission should be COM
mended for the business manner in
which they have handled the city wat
er and light plants.
Sometimes it is not considered good
taste to make comparisons but as
some people in Newberry have been
in the habit of comparing the New
berry plant with the Greenwood plant
and making an effort to have the

Governor Blease has now fallen into
the habit of going to Newberry to give
out interviews instead of coming to

tanburg Journal.
We didn't know that Governor
Blease came to Newberry to give out
an interview, nor did we know he had
ever been in the habit of going to
spartanburg for that purpose. There
simply happen to be some newspaper
people in Newberry who would natur-
ally ask a governor or president or
a senator, on visit here, for some ex-
preston as to live matters.

The Observer does not know who
Superintendent swearingen is for" or
'fagainst'-whether he is an enemy
or friend" to any political candi-
date. But there is no doubt of this:
He is an enemy of illiteracy and a
friend to education. The State has
never had a more able and conscien-
tious oficer.-Newberry Observer.
Amen to that. 1t sizes up Mr.
swearingen exactly. And if South
Carolina could have all public officials
of the swearingen type, there would
be no politics of the kind that is now
doing so much harm in the State

1t is not only the trouble with New
berry but the trouble with the entire
State of South Carolina. The farmers
import too many carloads of corn

many other things that can be grown

the statement of a few facts taken
from both reports may not be out OF
place or improper.
The minimum charge for lights per
month in Greenwood is $1.OO, and IN
Newberry it is so cents. In Green
wood the charge for tapping a main
is $3.50 while in Newberry the charge
is $3.50. The fiat rate for water for
one faucet per month in Greenwood
is 66 cents, while in NewberTy it is
60 cents. The minimum charge for
water where the meter is required
in Greenwood is IS cents, while in
Newberry it is so cents. The plants
are about the same size and the towns
are practically of the same population,
and the net earning for the Greenwood
plant for the past wear, 1911, was So
667.97, while in Newberry the net
earning for the same period was $S,-
