~ ESPAIR flashed from her eyes.
Her hair was in wild disorder.
Her face was flushed and dis
torted. She was in terrible dilemma
She looked like a dreadfully injured
and desperate woman. With anger
and indigns ton reaching to a dreadful
height, she could stand il no longer
'Merciless one-cruel one 1 have
stood il long enough. I was proud OF
you, of your beauty-yOur grace
proud of my possession Of YOU
proud Of the envy OF my friends
glOried in the enemies I made
through my possession. All, but YOU
are small-smalli How I have been
deceived, You have ruined my stand
ing in society-tottured me until I
screamed in the agony Of my soul.
and still I loved you Yes, loved you
through it all. But now aha, Yes,
now-Wiu I end it ALI 1 cast you
from me fOrever,ii"
And with that she ripped off her
right shoe and flung it into the fire.
The agony was over and the tragedy
ended

We should apply rigid tests to can

the candidates are seeking to serve
US, or themselves; second, if the can

the ability Let US place our politics
upon basis where real merit will be

omen Of a good representative. Farm

Will he be faithful: Ask these ques-

The News is about correct in this
matter. The voter should look the
candidates over and inform himself as
to their fitness for the positions they
are seeking and then vote for the man
who is best fitted for the position by
virtue of his experience and training
and ability to fill it. Unless he does
this he is not performing the duties

THE P0MARIA MEETING.

There was an unusually large crowd
at the campaign meeting at Pomaria
on Tuesday. a good barbecue dinner
was served by that prince OF good
fellows, Walter Richardson. He gave
the old soldiers half price Toy their
dinner and made contribution from
the proceeds of the dinner of $500
to the Pomaria graded school. That
did not leave him very much for his
services but he helped some good
causes and did good for the commu-
nifty which after all is worth more to
him than to have made a few extra
dollars for himself
The meeting was held in the park
just this side + the town and there
is plenty OF shade, but not much chance
for the breezes to circulate, and be
sides being one of the hottest days of
the season it was made warmer on
account of the underground which fills
the place. The people were in good
humor and gave fine attention to all
the speakers but there was very little
demonstration and the people only
quietly listened.
They have about made up their
minds as to how they will vote and
we believe they are going to vote this
year for what they conceive to be the
best interest of the public service and
that they are not going to be carried
away by prejudice and passion.
The candidates all make about the
same speecnes, rnough some Of them
may continue them from place to
place not having time enough to get
through at any one meeting.
The campaign so far mas been free
from bitterness of speech and only
the records of the public officials have
been brought into the limelight with
no effort to be personal in the lesat
degree.
The meeting on Thursday was held
at Longshores. We are putting this
paper to press early so that we may
get to the meeting in the afternoon.
The Little Mountain reunion will be
held today and tomorrow a barbecue
will be given at Mr.. H. M. iWfcker's
on the Broad river side of the county.

Newberry. S. c., July 26, 1915.

Newberry, S. c., July 26, 1915.
Mr.. ]. C., Sample, County Supervisor,
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Sir:
I beg to answer lne inquiries con-
tained in your Letter 20 me OF July
|22.
1T has been circulated around over
the County that I, as County superV-
isor, am responsible for the County
funds running shoI,. I would like to
get statement in writing from you IN
regard to the financial condition Of
the County and tie cause of this con-
dition"
Answer. The only money available
for the use of the County Supervisor
is the taxes collected from a 4 IL
mill levy, amounting " solne $4,000
90: fines from the Clerk Of the Court
and magistrates, license fees, etc.,
amounting, on an average, to $4,000 to
81. 600 making the total money avail
able $4,000 to $4,000. This does not
include the Communication tax which
varies widely, viz, $5,69OOO in 1914;
$1,944OO in 1915; $2,6040Q in 1916.
The taxable property OF the County is
some s7,250, 100000. Therefore, if the
necessary expenses for running tho
County, the current and as fxed%by
statute are S40.00O.00 to $45,000.O0,
net including commutation tax, and
the average income from taxes and all
other sources is $4,000 to $4,000,
,he County will f2lI behind each year

the necessary expenses in any given
year.
is it not a fact that at the begin
ming of this year We only had about
nineteen G9) or twenty (2O) thousand
dollars, after paying last years back
indebtedness. from which to pay
foryy-fve (45) thousand dollars ap-
propriated for the year?' Answer
That is correct.
Is it not a fact that l have bought
lumber cheaper tban it has been
bought heretofore by other sGpervj-
sors Answer. Your price for white
and post oak lumber is $500 per
thousand. do not recall that You
have paid more than that. Prior to
year or TWO ago the Customary
price was $1,000 per thousand. My
recollection is pine lumber has been
selling for about the same, or,
perhaps, for little less than for
merly.

ed for the last year and this year had

HIS MOTHERS BABY BOY.

We had letter from his mothers s
baby boy last week. We were pleased
to hear from him and to know that he
was doing his duty as a soldier and
also to learn that he had a pleasant
surprise when the captain Of his com
pany read out an order making him
a third sergeant of his company. He
was not expecting any promotion and
made no effort to get it and being but
a boy Of 10 years it was a high com
pliment which was paid him and for
which We are grateful and apprecia-
tive. And We appreciate it the more
for him because We believe that he
feels that it came to him for good be-
hayior and for doing his duty which
We hope will be an incentive to him
to continue to Go so.
That is the advice We gave him, to
do his duty and not to shirk anything
that came to him, and we admonishad
him that was what his mother would
expect Of him. She would hate to see
him Join the army but 10 truer or
better woman ever lived and she
would say to him if he would so what
the mothers Of the Gracchi sail 10
their boys: With your shell or on It. .

fdence and telling them just how We

enough to run the affairs of the Co
unity for cash and paid all of the old
soldiers pensions?"
Answer. l would say, yes. am
quite sure the total expenditures came
within the total appropriations.
Were the proper officials notified
of the financial condition of the Co
unity and asked to remedy these con-
ditions Answer. They were, both
verbally and in writing, before and
during the sitting Of the legislature of
1915.
"Can the County Supervisor run
the County into debt without the con
sent of the delegation from Newberry
County?' Answer. He cannot legal
ly do so. The statute law makes it
a criminal offense for the County
Supervisor to contract debts against
the County in excess of the appropri-
atoms.
"is this the first time the County
finances have run short?" No. This
is the case every year, except, per-
haps, like in the Year 1914, when an
unusually large commutation tax was
collected and there were funds paid
the County from extraordinary
sources.
Hoping that the above answers are
full enough. l am,
yours fery truly,
"H. C. Holloway"
SO, G4r. Voter, you see from the above
statement, if the County is in debt, II
is not my fault. I have complied
strictly with the law.
I wish to say if reelected to the
position of supervisor I propose to
spend every cent I can get hold of to-
better the condition Of the roads and
bridges as you know the roads and
bridges have not had justice hereto
fore
During the short time that I have
held the position of supervisor I have
worked on-ehe roads in every section
OF the County. This policy of impair
TALLY as to the maintenance Of tne
roads will be continued.
There will be false rumors and mis-
~enresentations in circulation. I ask
any one who hears ANYTHING of a
derogatory nature in circulation as -
myself either personally or officially
to make the proper Investigation ana
he viii find the truth by which I am
willing to stand I ask a fair and 4
square deal and have faith in tbeH
people of New berry County to belieF
that they will accord that to every8
one.

FAMILY
WIFE AND S0N ILL
". o. Hing, in Amazing Statement,
says Tani2c Gave Them Wonder
Iul Relief IL Once.

After making almost every possible
effort to find relief from their ills
and filling n every instance ny wife
and son, Charlie. we're given really
wonderful reliet by Just a few doses
Of Tanlac,7 declared Mr. W O. King.
q farmer living between Anderson and
Pendleton. His address is Pendle,on,
r. =. D.
Mr. King came into Evans Phar-
macy, at Anderson 10 buy bottle Of
Tanlac, and while there told the Tan
las representative OF the great
value OF this wonderful remedy had
beea to his family. Il wish l had the
money to buy a dozen bottles this
afternoon, he declared, "for need to
take Tanlac myself, but this is the
tight money time for the farmer and
I will have to buy Tanlac now only
for those who need it worst"
Continuing, Mr. King said: MY
wife suffered peculiar troubles and a
very bad case of indigestion. She
had been in i'll health long time be
lore she began taking Tanlac, and /
once paid out SIS for medical services
for her, and she did not get as much
benefit then as she did from her first
bottle of Tanlac, which cost just
one dollar
'fShe had no energy and felt badly
all the time She was not able, hard
ly, to do anything around the house,
and was under a doctor for solid
year, but got no better. She now has
taken two (2) bottles of anlac, and It
has proven in her case the best medi-
cine in the world. Her strength has
increased a great deal and her appe-
tite is better than it has been in years.
Nothing she eats eeuses her indiges-
ton now. She sure is pleased with
the results. 1t is just wonderful the
way she has improved.
MY boy, Charlie, suffered one whole
year with very peculiar and distress
sing trouble, which about a dozen.
doses of Tanlac broke up. All last
summer he could not work even half a
day. He would get so weak he would
have to stop for the day. This sum-
mer he was not any better. Charlie IS
appetite would be good until he got
70 the table, but then he would become
sick. Often at night his breath would
almost leave him. He lost lot of
weight and strength. I had taken
him to dozen doctors, but he got no
better. It was said he had nervous
ind, sestion.
~I am certainly glad to tell you
these things for r:;e IN your sdverti-
sing. for it may show some poor
sufferers the way to regain their
health. l hope my words may help
some who suffer, and you bet l can't
say too much for Tanlac.'
