The second quarterly conference will
be held in the Methodist church
Thursday, beginning at II o'clock.
The special meeting conducted by
Rev. J. Andrew Smith, of Charlotte,
n. c., closed this evening. The meet
ing lasted nine days. Large crowds
greeted Mr.. Smith both morning and
evening and listened earnestly TO his
words. Whitmire paid literally to
further the good cause represented
by him. Miss Nan Brook Scott made
splendid and faithful organist. The
solos sung during the week by Rev.
G. F. Wright and Mrs. Jno. R. Rosebro
were especially beautiful. The choir
sang we'll and added much to the at
tractiveness of the services. Mr..
Smith gave us many beautiful sermons
that will linger long in the hearts and
minds of the people of Whitmire. Two
of the sermons were especially appro-
pirate and should be preached every
where, "The Ideal Mother" (this is the
Christian mother), and "The Ideal
Christian Home" How glad we were
to have Mr.. Smith repeat the ver9
thought we had expressed in The Her
aid and News a few weeks ago, that
parents can not shirk their duty to-
wards their children and put it OFF on
the school or the Sunday school. By
beginning in the home all the evils
of school, of church, of society and OF
State may be corrected.

The Maids Mistake.
National Monthly.


In the employ of certain Southern
school for girls is a colored maid, who
from her queer mumbling speech and
habitual grin is known by the girls as
Crazy Mary Into the reception room
of this college one busy school day a
business-like publisher stepped. Hand
ing the maid his card, he Informed her
that he would like to speak with Miss
Harrington, the editor of the school
magazine, on some important busi-
ness"
The maid duly impressed, took the
card and went in search Of the young
lady. Failing to find Miss Harrington
in the halls, however, she proceeded
to the young ladies' sleeping apart
ments.. AS she Heared the room of
the young lady in question, Miss
Brock, her roommate, stepped out,
closing the door behind her.
With her most ingratiating manner
and haul,I Ial grin, Crazy Mary ap-
preached and in her slow, halting
speech, said to Miss Brock: "C'ud-
yu'-tell-me-wher' Mis- Ha'ing-
ton-c'ud be-foun'?"
well, she can't come right now, as
she is in her pedagogy" announced
Miss Brock again, meaning to convey
the impression that Miss Harrington,
who was a student in the normal de-
partment, was at that moment in the
pedagogy classroom.
The slow-witted maid listened in
silence, then turned and went slowly
back to the parlor.
The gentleman, who was now grow
ing impatient, arose as she entered:
"Wel1?" he said.
"She-can'- -com'-right-now-suh,
-sh'-is-in-her-petticoats," said
the obedient maid with her unconven-
+ tional grin.

The merchants of Newberry in the
past have united in an early closing
agreement during the hot summer
months in order to give their clerks
time for recreation in the afternoons,
and we doubt not they will make the
same arrangement this year. We are
sure that none of the merchants will
lose anything by early closing, parti-
cularly if most of them are in the
agreement. And the buying public al
ways appreciates this care of the
hard-working and courteous clerks of
Newberry.

DON'T KNOW THEY
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Many Newberry people who have
chronic appendicitis, which is not very
painful, have doctored for years for
gas on the stomach, sour stomach or
constipation. W. G. Mayes states if
these people will try simple buckhorn
bark. glycerine, ETC., as compounded
in Adler-i-ka, the German appendicitis
remedy, they will be surprised at the
QUICK benefit. A SINGLE DOSE re-
Iieves these troubles INSTANTLY.

A clean town this summer will go
a long way towards the prevention
of fevers and other forms of disease
which too frequently come with the
summer months. If every citizen would
do his duty by his own premises-his
duty to himself and his duty to others
and the town would keep the streets
and drains clean, we would have a

THE OBSERVER AND THE CHAU-
TAUOUA BOOKLET.

The Herald and News, the Observer
goes into history of its trade and IN
dustrial edition, refers to the trade and
industrial edition of The Herald and
News this year, and expresses its con-
tinued conviction that the little para
graph in The Herald and News in re-
gard to the Chautauqua booklet was a
slur at the Observer.
We regret that the Chautauqua has
been brought into a controversy be-
tween the two newspapers of NeWber-
~. A controversy of this kind can do
nobody any good.
We shall have only a few more
words to say, and they shall not be
controversial.
The Observer says the statement of
the editor of The Herald and News
was not satisfactory, and charges that
it lacked frankness. 1t stated the
whole case, as the editor of The Her
aid and News saw it, and if it does not
satisfy the Observer, we can not help
it. AS to the president of the Chau-
tauuua association, who, the Observer
thinks did exactly right, we have al
ready said all we have to say in this
connection. Different persons have
different views of what is Exactly
right"
In speaking of the Observers trade
and industrial edition of last Chautau-
qua week, the Observer says that
"some person tried to make it appear
that the Observer solicited advertising
for itself under the claim that it was
getting out some sort of advertisement
for the ChautauQua," but concluded
to let it pass, because I did not wish
to enter into a newspaper controversy"
If by characterizing the controversy
into which ne would have entered, had
he entered controversy, as news
paper" controversy, the editor OF the
Observer means to charge The Herald
and News with having inspired the re-
port-which we hope the editor of the
Observer does not mean-the charge
is absolutely unfounded in fact. We
desire to state, and to state emphati-
cally, that any reports that may have
gained circulation in regard to the OD-
servers trade edition of last Chautau-
qua week, did not emanate from The
Herald and News, and The Herald and
News had nothing to do with them.
AS to The Herald and News edition,
it is issued today, and has no more
bearing upon a Chautauqua, either in
point of time or in any other manner,
than has the chirping of sparrow up
on presidential election.
The editor of the Observer proceeds
to draw what he calls logical and
inevitable inference from the little
paragraph in The Herald and News,
to which the Observer takes exception.
That there was no slur at the Obser-
yer, either in intention or in fact, in
that paragraph, we tried to make clear
publicly, and we have nothing to add
to what we have already said in re-
gard thereto.
Says the editor of the Observer,
"And that is his explanation. I must
say that it comes with poor grace from
one to whom I have shown so many
courtesies and favors."
Whatever courtesies and favors have
been shown The Herald and News or
the editor of The Herald and News,
Or any member of The Herald and
News family, by the editor of the OBJ
server, have been appreciated to the
fullest, and sincere thanks are hereby
again and publicly extended.

question is solved for a long time
to come, that the fire department by
means of the additional pressure, as
consequence of more water, can do
more effective work in future in keep
ing down destructive blazes and pro-
tecting the property of citizens The
rapid growth of Hattiesburg demands
that the water supply be kept up with
the growing needs of the people, and
when this is not done it has been
found to be a source of discomfort, in
many instances, the direct cause of
people seeking other places. Hatties-
bury is peculiarly blessed with drink
ing water. There can probably be
found no better quality of artesian
water in the state than is found here.
While the supply is a good deal more
than the Commissioners figured on
they are not "hcking' bit over the
result that the well drillers have ac-
complished in securing this uneX.

$1,000 FOR Loss
OF AN EYE
Workman At SumralI Mill Gets Large
Judgment In Circuit Court
Against Employers.

Circuit Court was formally ad-
journed yesterday afternoon by Judge
Johnson for this session. Yesterday
the day was consumed in hearing the
much discussed case of Robertson VS..
the Newman Lumber Co. Plaintiff in
this case instituted suit against the
defendantss for $4,000 for the loss of
an eye, sustained while in the en-
ployment of the company's mill at
Sumrall. The case has attracted con-
siderable attention and was hotly con-
tested from the start. The case went
to the jury last night and after an all
night session they returned a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for $4,000.
Attorneys Talley and Mounger repre-
sented Mr., Robertson and Mr.. Travis
for the defendant. Another case of
like nature was set for hearing at this
term of court, but was not reached.

of an eye and an arm, sustained in a

PREACHERS At
BIBLE INSTITUTE
Interest Grows In Important Meet
ing At The First Baptist
Church.

The Bible Institute at the First
Baptist church was in full swing yes
terday. There are probably more
than so ministers present besides
other people. The sessions are open
to ali. The afternoon and night ses-
sions are especially well attended by
the general public. The church
house was comfortably full last night
to hear Dr. Scarborough, who spoke
with great earnestness and power
casting the net. His evangelistic ad-
dresses are specially practical and
stimulating to christian workers.
A good number of those in attend
ance are saying that this is the best
Bible Institute of any during the
eight years it has been running.
The sessions are a. m. to 1880 a
M, 1870 p. m. to 4:3O p. m. and 1880
p. m.
DR.. Scarboroughs subject tonight

BADLY needed
Let Secretary Stockman Know
Whether You Can Furnish it
Saturday.

Secretary Stockman of the Com
mercial Club urges all who in
tend placing automobiles at the dis
posal of the Club for the entertain
ment of the members of the legisla-
ture who will be here on next Satur-
day, to communicate with him i'm
mediately, so that he will be in posi-
tion to know exactly how to go about
the entertainment of the visitors
while here. While it is probable that
number of those coming will be
guests of private individuals in the
afternoon, there will of course be a
great many who will have no means
of seeing the city unless adequate
provision is made by the citizens to
that end. The estimated number, one
hundred and fifty, may possibly be
augmented to nearly two hundred,
and effective arrangements for caring
for all who come must be made in
advance of their arrival Therefore,
it you haven't communicated with the
club yet, do so at once and add your
mite to the other patriotic citizens
who have gladly given a hand at this
important time.

ON QUICK FARM
Expert viii Demonstrate Use of
Dynamite on Tuesday, the
9th inst.

Next Tuesday, February 9Th, the
DUPONT Powder Company will give Il
stump blowing demonstration on the
farm of A. ]. Quick, near town. This
mode of destroying stumps is coming
rapidly into vogue. as it is also in the
planting of fruit trees and shrubbery.
1t is claimed that in sinking holes by
blasting, the earth for several feet
around the trees is loosened and the
roots have better chance to spread
and take up the strength of the soil.
Many farmers have been using pow
der and dynamite for eradicating the
stumps and some of them have been
successful while others have failed
entirely. So the demonstration next
Tuesday will be made under the di-
rection Of an expert and the means
employed will be fully explained by
him during the progress of the work.
Mr.. Quick, who is one of the best
known farmers Of this section, states
that he is getting his farm rapidly in
condition for the planting of the com
ing seasons crop. He will plant a
goodly acreage in Irish potatoes and
will also pay especial attention this
year to corn and peas. He says that
he has two negroes on his place and
supposes that he will have to plant g
little cotton to keep them, as it has
been demonstrated that negro, g
mule and cotton all have to be KEEP
on the same place to insure the re
tention of either.

NeU Artesian Well Sho1us
Fzow of 100000 Gallons

Indications point to the fact that
the city has secured a good deal more
than was contracted for when it was
decided to have the new artesian we'll
sunk. The original contract incor-
porated in its specifications that the
contractors were to drill the well, and
if they did not secure half a million
gallons of water the city was not to
pay them anything, but, for every ad-
ditional half million of gallons the
city was to pay stipulated sum.
Those in charge of the drilling of the
well claim that there is now being
produced by the well over one and
a half million gallons of water daily,
but this report will not be verified
until an official test is made by Mr..
Layne and others representing the
drilling company and the city.
AS the matter stands, however, the
city is mighty glad to get the big
supply of water that it has by this
new we'll. 1t means that the water

intention of tn eBureau to divert all
year round tourist travel to Gulfport
and Hattiesburg, and it is stated that
the chief of the bureau is considering

The idea of publicity bureau in
connection with the Great Southern
Hotel and the Hotel Hattiesburg has
been given great deal of study by
Managing Director Driver. When he
first assumed charge of the Great
Southern Hotel some two years ago
he at once realized what tremend-
Gus amount of tourist travel could be
brought to this section of the coun-
try if it was properly exploited, and
this end will, no doubt be accomplish
ed through the operation of the new
publicity bureau.

Sixteen Million Men
Harnessed at Niagara

Niagara Falls, N. Y. Feb. 1.-The
average man is apt to speak very
glibly of so many hundred thousand
horsepower harnessed at Niagara
Falls, but it is doubtful if one person
in a hundred begins to understand the
tremendous conservation of natural
resources effected at the Falls with
out interfering with the grandeur of
the spectacle.
The 372,SOO horsepower now devel-
oped at the Falls is the equivalent of
16,776,000 man-power working an
eight-hour day, or more than the COM
bined strength of all able-bodied men
in the United States.
Under the American-Canadian
Treaty, promulgated by the two ma

the Falls for all time, only $4,000

cubic feet of water per second, out
of a total flow of 100000 cubic feet,
may be diverted from the Niagara
River for power purposes. But even
with this restriction, when the treaty
goes into effect the force conserved
by falling water will be the equivalent
of 35,559,OOO men working the average
eight-hour day.
Stupendous although this saving Is,
it is nothing compared to the full
strength of the Falls. The volume OF
water that will be permitted to run,
so as to perpetuate the beauty of the
Falls, is estimated to represent 49,
