 Field Day July 22

I To provide a place for dancing al l the Bridge aerodrome on the occa- sion of the state field day of the Fra ternal Order of Eagles in tl1is city,
 July 22 and which will follow the state parade of the order, a monster platform is to be erected upon the aerodrome, having clear floor space l 95 by TO feet in extent. This will be used for dancing during the afternoon and early evening, and will also be used for the competitive military drill of the degree teams which will com 1 pete for the prizes of $100 offered for the best drilled team, and which prove one of the features of the afternoon. I'm partial judges will be selected for this 1 event. While ridgeport aerie has 8 crack drilled team 1t will not compete in this event, and in fact the aerie or it's members will not be competitors for any of the prizes offered for the day.
 The arrangements for the field and track sports for the day will be eX- cellent, the track will be put in excel lent condition, and the arrangement Of the grounds is such that a good view of all of the events may be ob- tained from any portion of the large park.

Coburn's Greater Minstrels.

Those individuals who think min
strelsy in it's decline should have been
among the number who were lucky
enough to witness one of the best mill
strel performances ever seen in the
Colonial theatre and by far the best
company that Manager Coburn has
ever carried. The house was packed
although the weather man had given
warning of wet weather, and from the
rise of the first curtain until the close
of the last number, the continuous ap-
plause, laughter and appreciation OF
the audience was manifested. The first
part was bright, new and elaborate
the costumes departure from the
usual minstrel array, the orchestra
clever and in perfect accord with the
requirements of the singers, and fun
folks.
Mr.. Leslie Berry, Interlocutor and
robust baritone, has been heard here
before with the company, possesses
a magnificent voice and pleasing ad-
dress. Richard Teitge, Patsey NAL
lon both exceptionally pleasing tenors,
were repeatedly encored while Lester
Lucas splendid bass voice added to
the pleasure of the evening. But the
fun folks-that long lank Georgian,
Reggie Futch; Allen Settle, graceful
and meiodious; Geo. Stokes, the dane
ing Kiltie, and those two past masters
of excrutiatingly ludicrous comedy
and cyclonic fun-Charlie Gano an1
Nichodemus Glynn, were the crowning
feature Of a real old time enjoyable
musical minstrel show. AS was stat
ed in the advance notices of this con-
stantly progressive attraction those
present received their moneys worth,
every promise was fulfilled and ca
petty houses await Coburn's Minstrels
in future seasons. 1t was bully good
show. Come again "Cobe!"-Athens
(Ga.) Banner, 18th.
Coburn's Minstrels will appear here
Saturday night.

GAME CALLED OFF.
The Game With Ty CObbS All-Star
Team on Thursday Called Off
Oh Account of Rain.

The steady rain which fel 7ednes-
day and the weather predictions for
rain Wednesday night and Thursday
caused the management to wire Mr.
Cobb that the game was of. Even
though the weather man Sall down on
his representations again, the dia-
mond is so water-soaked, and cut-up
by the water running across it, that
it is in no condition to be used.
For many reasons we all regret that
the "fates" turned against US again.
After such strenuous efforts were ex-
pended in arranging and advertising
the game; and arousing the public's
expectations of seeing Ty Cobb it
seems peculiarly hard to have it all
count for naught.
If the weather clears Newberry will
play a morning and an afternoon
game with Ty Cobb's All-Stars in

Good Friday.

There is a cross to which | turn
This day of all the year,
Where He who will no sinner spurh'
Once felt the cruel spear.
There is a cross on which gaze,
AS soft | breathe prayer,
And grieve for all the sinful ways
That helped to nail Him there.
There is a cross where outstretched
hands,
Bestow the love I crave,
A love that always understands,
And-yearning-longs to save.
This wondrous cross, O Saviour dear,
Open mine eyes to see,
Ny heart to feel that Thou art near
Today-on Calvary!

THE REST ROOM.
Extended for Generosity of
NeWberry Public Spirited
Citizens.
Editor The Herald and News.

Editor The Herald and News.
AS the physical and moral vel
fare of breadWinners is now attracting
the attention of the civilized world as
never before, and investigations of ex-
isting conditions which surround them
in every avocation of life, is now
matter of serious concern to all men
who realize that the young women OF
today are to be the mothers of the
near future, and as we safeguard their
health, educate their minds and hearts
to a higher moral plane, we lay the
foundation for nobler, better citiz-
enship.
Health is of supreme value in the
life of every woman, and should
be the first consideration in any plan
for their betterment. We note that
publicists and physicians, who under
stand this prime factor in woman's
life, in all large cities, advocate the
rest room iGea, as the first aid to
health, and it is with pleasure we see
an interest by chambers of commerce,
corporations and Christian associa-
tions in every progressive town assist
ing in this work for thousands OF
breadwinners. and in our community
there is a spirit of sympathy in evil
dence that is an honor to the young
and an object. lesson to the old.
Miss Sonnenburg, whose generous
I.eart is alive to good deeds for the
lonely shut-ins of the couty home,
which are to them as lovely as
apples of gold in pictures Of silver,
and can never die. And to the gifted
young artists, Leroy and NJ. NJ. Sal
ter, thanks are due for their artistic
touch of the interior view of the New
berry rest room; for the photo-plc-
ture which now has prominent
place in the Columbia rest room,
which is pronounced lovely by the
cultured club women of that city, who
are working day and night for a new
building as a home place for the
strangers in the city. Another pic
ture by these gifted young artists ell
cits praise from the chief of the child
ren's bureau at Washington, d. Z.

interesting picture of the Bow
ers family, which was printed IN

Mr.. John Mayes, the chileren's
friend in all good work for them, -
thanked for new frames for the IN
terror pictures of the Newberry rest
room. A young bachelor, whose name
makes me think of "rose-day IN
June" Mr.. Marvin O. Summer, wrote
the inscription on the picture beautl-
fully-wish we were as gifted in chiro-
sraphy as he. Another young gentle
man-though Observation-Disclosures

the keys of a typewriter, gave time
and attention to an article of pre-
sentation" to club in distant state.
He has our sincere thanks for the
favor
And in this connection, we beg to
acknowledge the daily attention ana
polite service of the young men OF the
Busy Bee Cafe, who serve lunch TO
strangers and visitors in the rest
room with unfailing courtesy that
calls praise from all who appreciate
character more than coronets.

THOSE WHO ATTENDED.
State Teachers Association and Those
Who Were Accredited to New
berry and Award of Banner.

The president of the State Teachers
association offered banner to the
county that had the largest percen-
tage of teachers enrolled at the recent
teachers association, the payment of
dues counting for enrolment, whether
the teacher was present at the meet
ing or not. l had thought that New
berry had some chance to secure this
banner, and to that end, and for the
benefit to be derived from attendance
upon the meeting, l advised all teach
ers who could possibly do SO 20 at
tend the meeting. When l reached
Columbia l found that a few Of the
county superintendents had paid thS
dues for all teachers in their county,
whether the teacher desired him to
do so or not, and that accounted for
some counties having a hundred per
cent. present, and l was told that the
plan was to deduct the amount from
the next monthly pay warrant of the
teacher, and if she refused, then to
take from the board fund. Of course,
that put us out of the running, be-
cause in the first place | did not con-
slider that a fair test, nor the object
to be attained by the offer of the ban
ner. Besides, did not consider it the
proper thing to do That, however,
may be a matter of opinion.
I asked the treasurer, however, to
send me list of the teachers he had
accredited 90 Newberry county, so
that might ask that it be printed,
and to see if we had credit for all who
actually attended, and the purpose OF
this article is to ask that the list be
printed, and if any who did not at
tend are not mentioned in this list !
will be glad to have them let me know
if they paid their dues and were pres
ent. The list is furnished by the
treasurer. AS it was, we had fifty
per cent, and came eighth in the list
for the banner, four counties having
a hundred per cent. present. The fol-
lowing is the list:
