And she did it. If little Miss Dur

her home as the old lady chatted
away, she concealed it as long as
possible. The old lady was so insist
ent. She showed her one thing after
another, until at length four o'clock
came, and the suspense was over.
"And now, my dear, I've kept you
so long that 1 shall just walk over

EDITORIAL.

In the wrlte-up of Newberry's very
efficient and accommodating probate
Judge, Mr. C. C. Schumpert, very
annoying error occurred, not as to any
thing about the official record of MIR.
Schumpert, but the statement in re-
gard to his father. 1t is stated that
ION the death of mis- father" and so On
he was elected probate judge. We are
very much pleased to say that his
father is not dead, but still lives among
US, most esteemed citizen, and The
Herald and News hopes he may live
many more years. Of course Mr..
Schumpert knows ne is still liV-
ing, but such an error is inexcusable
and very annoying, and We regret it.
1t was the fault of the editor. And we
beg the pardon of Mr.. F, M. Schum-
pert.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Breaks Open Mr.. John O. kOOn's
Trunk-0ver Four Hundred
Dollars Taken.

\ bold robbery occurred near Po-
maria Saturday morning last, about
daybreak, when the home of Mr.. John
Oliver Koon was entered and $410 was
taken from his trunk The crime was
evidently committed by some one IA
miliar with Mr.. Rooms habits and the
buildings about the place.
1t appears that Saturday morning
Mr.. Koon arose little before daylight,
as is his custom, to feed his stock. 1t
was while about these duties that the
robbery was committed. 1t is believed
that the thief was waiting outside for
his opportunity, and when Mr.. Koon
went to the stables, he slipped in and
got the money.
Mr.. Koon discovered the robbery up
on his return to the house and imme-
diately got into communication with
the owner of a pack of bloodhounds in
Columbia The hounds, upon their ar
rival, were put upon the trail and fol-
lowed it about three-fourths of a mile
to one Of the negro tenants on tne
place. This negro, George Greenwood,
had come to Newberry with a bale of
cotton and was located in the store of
Buzhardt-Langford company by Dep
uty William Dorroh and placed under
arrest
Sunday morning Sheriff Blease and
Deputy Dorroh went to the home Of
Mr.. Koon and made further investiga-
ton, securing evidence which makes
them certain that they have appre-
hended the right party.

DRUNK A QUART
and Then Died-Negro in Broad River
Section Dies After Visit to Peak.

Live nigger-mule and buggy-pub-
lie road-thirsty-dispensary-cheap
whiskey-big drunk-dead niger.
Sucn is the story that marks the end
of Ebert Dawkins. Friday he and
Hollis Suber went to Peak and bought
two quarts and a pint of gin. They
fought the gin all the way home and
when they arrived at DR.. E. o. Hentz's
place, where Dawkins lived, he was so
drunk he had to be assisted from the
buggy and into the house. His wife
just thought he was enjoying a plain
drunk as usual and paid little atten-
ton to MIN. He died Friday night
about 10:3O
Saturday morning Coroner Lindsay
and Rural Policeman w. S. Melton
went to the negro's home, where an
inquest was held. There was no evi-
dence of foul play and as Dawkins'
wife testified that the doctor had
warned him against drinking whiskey.
lle verdict was that Dawkins came to
his deaht from drinking the gin.

NEWBERRIANS IN NEW YORK
DR.. Harms, Col. Kinard and Col. Hunt
Bid F0rd's Peace Ship Bon
Voyage.

From an account of the ceremonies
incident to the sailing of Ford's peace
ship from New York harbor on Satur-
day we clip the following from the
New York Times Of Sunday. 1t will be
interesting to Newberrians and South
Carolinians because Of the party there
seems to have been three Newberrians,
and then there is the lieutenant gov
ernor of South Carolina. The New
berrians will return to Newberry and
help to get ready for war, while the
lieutenant governor travels across the
water to help Mr.. Ford in his efforts
to secure world peace, but we suspect
the outcome will be only pleasant
journey across and good tlmeIf
they do not encounter a German sub
marine-and a good lot of free adver-
Using for Mr.. Ford:
There was lull in the excitement
following the departure of Mr.. Edison,
a condition of affairs that led big
man on the pier to express his dis
pleasure.
"Hey, you, Bingham!" he yelled,
don't let the show ]ag!"
Mr.. Bingham turned and motioned to
the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. He
brought him to the rail and introduced
him as one Of Chicago's foremost ad-
vocates of worldwide peace. Mr. Jones,
who has long, snowy white beard,
made little speech. He praised Mr..
Ford, and said that he was optimistic
concerning the success of the expedi-
ton.
A boyish face next appeared among
those to be introduced. 1t was the face
of Lieutenant Governor Betnea of
South Carolina. He was standing be-
side a pretty girl, and shouted to Col.
John M. Kinard of Newberry, S. c., that
the girl was from North Carolina, and
added that accounted for the fact that
"she is the prettiest girl on board" Col.
Kinard, who is president of one of the
chief banks of South Carolina, was
with Col. Walter H. Hunt, president OF
the Oakland cotton mills of South
Carolina, and President J. Henry
Harms of Newberry college.
Don't think because we are here We
are for peace at any price," said Col.
Kinard, "for we are not You may be
assured that ali South Carolina is for
preparedness, for we realize down
there that this country is not immune
from attack. We are behind the de-
fense program of the government to
man down South, and even Bethea l2
there knows that to be the case.'

STIrDYING APPROPRIATIONS.

. We notice from the paper that Gov
ernor Manning is studying the appro-
priations and will do what he can to
keep the budget down. 1t is well. But
it is impossible to keep down expenses.
1t grows from year to year. We re-
call that only few years ago when
this editor was member of the ways
and means committee We thought the
bill was very large and then it was
only little over million and half.
Last year it was two and a half mil
lions and it is thought that the next
year it may reacn three millions.
1t is said that the state institutions
will ask for about a million dollars
alone the coming year. The fertilizer
tax will be very materially cut off and
the only way left to support Clemson
will be from an appropriation direct
from the treasury That is the way i.
should be all the time, and then it
should be made a state institution, and
not one that is controlled by self
perpetuating life board Of trustees. If
the management lad put aside a few
thousand dollars every year when the
business in the tag tax was flush there
might have been a good nest egg by
this time, but the policy has been to
spend the entire income each year and
carry no surplus over. Well, it is
a problem for small state Of support
so many higher institutions of learn
ing.
1t is another problem for Governor
Manning, that of keeping down ex-
penditures, but he should have thought
of that last winter when he was recon-
mending new departments of govern
ment and asking for appropriations for
special legal advice and increasing the
pay of state officials and such like. All
these things take more money and
the money must come out of the tax
payers. There were two or three new
.departments of government established
last year, with new officers at good
salaries and some others recommended,
and it takes money to keep them up.
tIhe coming session is the one in which
to economic. The coming summer is
election time and many of the members
and the state officials will have to go
before the people Better look after
the budget, governor.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Several Thrown From CIR Returning
From COlumbia-NOne Are Sc
verely Injured ,safIE !
some day

Returning from Columbia Monday
morning, Mrs. ]. R. Williams, her
niece, Miss Lucille Williams, and
nephew, 3Mr. Coleman Burch, were
thrown out of the automobile in which
they were riding and painfully though
not seriously injured, Mr.. Williams be-
ing the worst injured of the party. Mr.
Williams and his son, Malcolm, who
was driving, were not hurt. The party
had gone to Columbia Sunday to at
tend the marriage of Mr.. Williams
nephew, Otto Williams. They were re-
turning Monday morning and had
reached the 12-mile post this side
of Columbia when the car suddenly
speeded up and got beyond control of
the driver. At this nigh speed the
driver threw off the switch and ap-
piled the emergency brake At this
moment the machine dashed against
a ditch bank and one of the front
wheels was completely demolished and
the radius rod badly bent. The occu-
pants were thrown clear out Of the
car.
Mr.. Williams caught passing car
and went back to Columbia for a new
wheel and had his radius rod repaired.
Mr.. Williams can not account for the
strange behavior of the car except that
it just went crazy and ran away.

That was a terrible tragedy in Co.
lumbia in the early hours Of Sunday
morning, when two young lives were
snuffed out. 1t should teach lesson
to be more careful in the handling Of
automobiles, and yet even when we
are careful the accidents will happen.
In this case the brakes miy have failed
to act or~the driver may have lost con-
troll of the car, as sometimes happens
to the best Of drivers, so am told.
Both these young men were reared IN
Newberry almost or quite to mans
must have been to the mothers Of both
to be awakened at an early hour on a
Sabbath morning to hear the news of
the death of their boys. l am tod
that these young men, with several
others from Newberry who have gone
to Columbia to make their home, lived
in the same boarding house and that
they had formed a sort Of Newberry
colony and were very happy all to-
gether, and that all Of the Newberry
colony were behaving beautifully. And
that they all stand well with their
employers and are making good. And,
further, that lMr. Davenport was
known to be very careful driver Of
his car, which he mad not had long.
My sympathies go out to the mothers,
because no one feels for boy just
like a mother does. We must believe
that it is all for some wise purpose
or it would not have been. We may
not be able to understand it all just
now, but by and by it will be revealed
what it all means.
