The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-07-04

1t is awfully hot-put the accent on
the full-doing anything, as this is
the worst in many a year. Perspira
ton soils the paper this copy is writ
ten on.
1t is not necessary to send in any
more first" cotton blooms to The
Journal Office. Hold no on cotton
blossoms now and senu in water
melons and peaches.-Spartanburg
Journal. The Herald and News has
intimated something 70 the same ef-
feet
There are all sorts of ways to ad-
vertise. The Herald and News stu
dies new ways. BY mentioning that
there was nothing unusual on hand
for the 4th of ou.y, it made people
talk up all the more for the baseball,
barbecue and races at the West End
baseball park; and when people be-
gin to defend and take up for thing
it gets advertised.
There will be a joint picnic by the
Masons and Woodmen at Mount Cal
laghar on the 4th Saturday in July.
Hon. George Mower of Newberry, Wor-
shipful Grand Master, and Hon. R. A.
Cooper, of Laurens, Senior Grand
Master and other distinguished speak
ers will be present.-Jones cor, Lau-
rens Advertiser, End.
It is just simply too hot to write
items. That is, it is for the reporter.
If YOU want to do any better here
during this hot wave, the job is yours.
The reporter could do better with
this department, Notwithstanding the
heat if he was not made to lose so
much time as bill collector waiting
to suit some mems convenience when
it would be just as easy to pay at first.
It is pleasant be upheld in your
efforts to do right, and it is encourag-
ing to be told that The Herald and
News has been striking popular
chords 1t is nice to strike a "popu-
lar chord" It was very gratifying to
the reporter to be told by one OF the
most solid and substantial citizens OF
Newberry that he agreed with The
Herald and News in it's remarks on
the fire company and the public.
About the most annoying and pro-
voking thing to undergo and endure
is for q collector to be told to come
again., by men who could pay at the
time. 1t is all right for him to be
put off by one who is not able to pay
inst at that time. But sorae men like
to give one all the trouble they can.
They never seem to think his time is
limited and that he has something else
to do.
The horse driven by the Greenwood
Fire department in the races here
Thursday dropped dead Friday morn
ing. He was driven through the coun-
try Thursday afternoon and appeared
to be all right. 1t is understood he
was so wild it was necessary to dope
him before the race and it is believed
this caused his death.-Abbevllle
Medium. Everything was so afraid OF
Newberry it was a wonder there were
not many accidents.
Friday, 4th of July, the pos1oflce
will be closed all day with the excep-
ton of one hour 10 to, II o'clock. The
city carriers will make the first bus
mess delivery. There will be no ser
vice on the rural routes, but patrons
of those routes can get their mail by
calling at the Office during the hour
designated. Remember, the office will
be open for only one hour, from 10
o'clock to II, in the entire day, so
you had better arrange your business
to suit accordingly.
A message came to Newberry on
Wednesday morning giving Auditor
Eugene S. Werts and other relatives
much uneasiness and anxiety until the
mistake was found out 1t seems that
colored man by the name of Werts
had dropped dead in Richmond on
Tuesday morning. That was about
the time Mr.. D. P. Werts expected to
be in that city. The message came to
