PIEDMONT HIGHWAY

Mr.. William Coleman was then call
ed on. He said he had no speech to
make, but he would assure those in
terested ttat Whitmire would do as
much in proportion, if not a little more,
than any other community.
Col Watson then took hand pri-
mary and every one voted in favor of
the road and to go to work to secure
it. One man volunteered as mini
mum cash subscription S100.
There is going to be little pleasant
rivalry between the lower route via
Caldwell and the upper route via the
Brick House, but whicI1 ever is decided
upon will have the cooperation of the
other. In fact, it is the opinion of
every one that the building Of either
one of these roads means tle building
of the other, and the result will be
two good roads from Whitmire to New
berry And why should there not?
There would be belt line, so to speak,
from Newberry around by Whitmlre
back to Newberry Col. Watson and
the writer promised Mr.. Scott in re-
turning to go around by Brick House
and measure the distance from Whit
mire to Newberry. In explanation, we
desire to say that after the lleayy rainEs
of the afternoon and the condition Of
the road from .Whitrnire to Union as
a result of the same, it was decided
to return via Laurens, and therefore
the distance was not taken, but that
will be done some time very soon.
After the meeting tie visiting party
from Columbia and Newberry were
delightfully."- entertained for lunch at
the Whitmire hotel by the people of
Whitmire. There is no doubt about
Whitmire being in earnest and enthu-
siastic on DE subject Of securing this
highway, and it is not all hot air, but
he money and work will be forth
coming.
The party did not get away from
Whitmire until nearly o'clock, and
as result did not reach Union until
about s o'clock, and that was too late
to hold a meeting. lAt the hour ap7
pointed a number Of citizens Of Union
assembled at the rooms of the chamber
of commerce and several cars drove

GERMANS Have TAKEN
THE CITY OF WARSAW
~N~I VI
CAPITAL OF POLAND OCCUPIED BY
TEUTONIC HOSTS.
Russian Armies Under Grand Duke
Nicholas at Last Give Way Is
Late Report Thursday.

Special to TIE Herald and News.
Columbia, Aug. 5.-Dispatcnes re-
cejyed here this afternoon state that
Warsaw has been taken and is now
occupied by the Austro-German forces.
All reports from Russian Poland
state that tie Russian armies unesr
command of Grand Duke Nicholas
made desperate and terrific fight to
the end, but at last had to give way
before the superior tactics and appa-
rently inexhaustible supply of ammu-
milton of the armies of Field Marsaals
Won Heindenberg and Won Buelow.
A great number of Russian prisoners
and artillery are said to have been
captured by the Austro German forces,
1t Ias been predicted that with the
fall of Warsaw, Russian would in
great probability soon withdraw from
the European war.
The capture of Warsaw by the Aus
tro-German forces is certain to nave
a great effect on the fighting in the
other parts of the great theater Of
battle.

San Johnson'S Ford.
AS stated, on account of the heavy
rains on the Whitmire road it was de-
cided to make the return trip via Lau-
rens. The road from Glenn Springs
to Enoree is one of the prettiest roads
We have seen anywhere in South Caro-
lima. Col. Watson's big car picked 'em
up at about thirty miles the hour and
the little Fords were right along with
her. This Spartanburg road to Enoree,
or part of the one we came, is called
the State highway and has sign boards
directing the way and giving tie dis
tances. We are Of the opinion that
there is a State law that requires the
county commissioners of each county
to post all roads at forks of road and
at road crossings. This law should be
observed, as all who travel the high
ways will readily agree. 1t is a great
comfort in going over new and
strange country to know that you are
in the right road. Mr.. Hodge, just be-
fore reaching Enoree, pulled out in
front and we never saw any more Of
MIN until we reached Newberry. We
have learned that at Enoree river he
took tie wrong road was hitting the
grit back to Spartanburg, and went
about two miles before he discovered
he was in the wrong road. We drove
on to Laurens and waited there just
one hour in an effort to get some gas
and rest. We left Glenn Springs at
a quarter to eleven and reached Lau-
rense a quarter to one. We left Lau-
rens a quarter to two and reached
Newberry about half-past three. The
road from Laurens to Newberry was
little heavy on account OF a rain
Wednesday afternoon and tce road
from Kinards to Newberry is in worse
condition than it has been for a long
time. We may do the road machine
an Injustice, but we believe the work
it did on this road is responsible for
this condition, by piling sand and clay
and debris in the center Of the track.
But the use of the split log drag now
would be a great celp. Hodge says
he cut off about two miles at Laurens
by not coming through the city and in
that way got aaead of US while we
were waiting for him at Laurens.
Altogether tie trip was very sue
cessful one for the party that went
and we believe will result in this Ihign-
way being opened. Z. II. A
P. s.-We took supper at tae hotel
at Glenn Springs, instead of the lunch
furnished by TIE ladies of the Com
munity club, for the reason that we
felt like a hot meal after the strenuous
trip from Whitmire. The lunch was
fine, however, as the good ladies gave
us a box for the return trip, which we
greatly enjoyed. The hotel presents
lively appearance and We very much
wish we could have remained over
there a week or ten days. This is one
of the Oldest and most famous Of the
Southern watering places and has
water that has stood the test of years
and there are many to teastify to, it's;
efficiency. There, are many people at
the hotel whom we know and tl1eysIpT

$15,ooo FIRE LOSS
 ON FISHERS ISLAND.
pr. M. R. Peek's Boathouse Burned
 With Its Contents.

The large boathouse at Fishers Is- land belonging to Dr. M. R. Peck of New York was completely destroyed. with it's contents. by fire Monday morning.
 Gurdon Hewlett discovered the fire and notified Captain A. Pelsang, the caretaker, who was at breakfast with George Maynard. Neighbcrs helped all they could to get ont some of the boats stored there, one being one of the finest mahogany launches around these parts. It was no use, however, so attention was turned to getting the other boats, yachts and craft of dif- ferent kinds from danger. The Van essa was cut loose and allowed to swing out from the dock. and the large fishing boat of Captain Maynard was watered steadily, as she was on the ways and could not be launched, there being not enough water to float her. The pleasure launch of H. c. Hansen was saved without harm and the Sportie, the yacht of Mrs. H. M. Lind erman, of which Captain Maynard is yacht of Captain Griswold, who is south, was somewhat scorched but not seriously.
 The building was used for a tene- ment upstairs and was well fitted up. Captain Pelsang had some of his be- spent the winter. Captain Pelsapg had some belongings he brought with him in his grip and they were de- stroyed. They included money, passes and a number of tickets for passage on the Fishers Island steamer. The building was insured, but the contents were not. The loss will be at least s15, 900 and the belongings of Captain Pelsang another thousand. It is hard luck for the captain as many of the things can never be replaced. The sails, sparsa nd rigging of different craft were stored but it is not known if they were all stored in that build ing. Tho boat shed of H. B. Porter got aflre but was put out, thus saving the fine launch of MT. Porter.

DoUBLY PROVEN
Norwich Readers Can No Longer
 Doubt the Evidence.

This Norwich citizen testified long ago.
 Told of quick relief-of undoubted benefit.
 The facts are now confirmed.
 Such testimony is complete-the evi- dence conclusive.
 It forms convincing proof of merit.
 Mrs. c. Bennett, 46 Palmer St. Nor wich. says: Some years ago one of my family suffered from backache. Every cold he caught settled on his kidneys and made the trouble worse His kidneys were disordered, as was shown by the kidney secretions being irregular in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills. procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store. brought prompt relief"
 A LASTING EFFECT.
 At a later interview Mrs. Bennett said: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured one of my family of kidney trouble some years ago and there has been no sign of 1t since. I willingly confirm my former endorsement of this remedy"

SCHOOL CELLAR CLEAN.
Israel Putnam Building Not Responsi- ble for Seven Cases of Diphtheria.

Positive denial was made by a mem Der of the town school committee Mon day that the cellar of the Israel Put nam school has been so neglected as to be the cause of the number of cases of diphtheria among the large number Of pupils who study there. The story that the cellar was filthy in some way gained circulation that was widespread in the city, notwithstanding the fact that there is no foundation for the story, nor has there been.
 The cellar has been inspected from time to time by members of the town school committee and found to be well kept and clean. Monday Dr. E. F. Per ry, acting health officer, and two mem bers of the town school committee vis- ited the building and inspected it thor ougEly. They looked at closet traps and all sewage outlets and could find nothing that would help them in de- termining what has caused the present diphtheria cases, if anything in or about the school, or other group cases Of diphtheria that have developed in the past. The premises in the vicinity of the school were also inspected, but without developing any information

f75 Delegates from 12 Schools Enjoy
 Woodstock Programme.

The Sunday school institute of dis trict No. 8. Woodstock, Pomfret, Put nam and Thompson, held at Woodstock Hill Sunday afternoon, was well at tended and proved one of the most interesting and profitable gatherings of the kind held in this vicinity for a number of years.
 Twelve schools were represented by about 175 delegates. The report of the that considerable gain had been made during the past year in many depart ments. The county treasurer, c. D. Sharpe, of Putnam. spoke in regard to the finances of the county; 10 schools in this district have pledged or paid.
 As the county association pledged last fall to try and raise $275 for the Connecticut Sunday School association during the year, a contribution is ex- pected from each school and some larger contributions from individuals.
 The address by Mrs. E. M. Warner Of Putnam, elementary superintendent, on The Grace of Adaptability was ex- ceptionally fine. It was full of prac- tical suggestions and interesting ex- periences.

MERGER PROBABLE.
Windham County Savings Bank and
 Brooklyn Savings Bank to Unite.

The merger of the Windham Coun- ty Savings bank with the Brooklyn Savings bank is forecasted if not pos itively assured by action taken at meetings of the corporators and trus- tees of the first named bank Monday afternoon. The significant action point ing to a merger, in fact intended to arrange for it. was the appointing of a committee to confer with officials of the rooklyn Savings bank relative to consolidation. While no statement was given out on the matter it is under stood that the Brooklyn Savings bank, a very strong institution, is, through it's officials, favorable to the merger plan.
 Eighteen corporators were present when President F. A. Jacobs called the meeting to order. After the forma reading of the minutes the matter of

that would lead to a solution of the mystery.
 Within the past few days Dr. Perry has examined the throats of approxi- mately 200 pupils in five grades in the school. He has taken a large number of cultures-fn every case where a throat or a nose looked suspicious. A report was received from the state laboratory Monday on B of these cul- lures and only one of them was found to be positive-showing traces of diphtheria.
 Every precaution is being taken to protect the health of the children in the school; exceptional precaution, in fact. pr. Perry will continue to keep the most careful watch over the pu- pills. He is Investigating also along the line of determining if diphtheria Carrier is among the pupils, as sometimes happens, but there are cir cumstances that indicate that this the ory may prove groundless.
 Whatever the cause of the diphtheria cases, seven in number, it is claimed by the town school committee that it Is certainly not due to any negligence in the care of the building, including the cellar, or the surrounding prem iSeS

Up to the time she was taken with the illness which caused her death, she was an unusually strong robust girl and when it was announced that she was seri- ously i'll it was a surprise and a shock to her many friends. She was a de- vout Christian and bore her illness heroically, often speaking words of encouragement and consolation to her friends who were worried over her condition.
