/ In our account of the Baptist gather
ing at the Laymen's convention we
stated that the laymen present from the
First Baptist church OF Newberry would
support missionary. 1t seems that we
were not quite correct in this. The an
nouncemnt, so Mr.. J. M. Kinard writes
u. was that the First Baptist church Of
Newberry would support missionary
We gladly make this correction.-Bapt

There is a small man in Newberry
who carries around with him a stomach
that has a will (ing) holt" on good
things to eat. One day last week he
went to the Busy Bee restaurant and
enjoyed one square meal as follows:
Liver and onions, three eggs, one porter
house steak, three whole oyster fries,
two more eggs, four cups of coffee,
one slice mince pie, two pieces cake and
two glasses of water. Bill $2.I5. Next!
The alarm of fire went in Wednesday
morning at o'clock. The fire was
some cotton at the Southern Oil COM
pany's plant. 1t burned over about IS
or 90 bales of cotton and the damage
was not large How the fire originated
is not known There was small fire
there a few days ago. 1t took some
time TO get fremen awake which only
again emphasizes the Importance Of
some sort Of fire alarm system better
than we have.
We notice that DR.. Glider is quoted in
our contemporary in write-up of the
work on the steel bridge road as saying
that it was as good as any Of the streets
Of Newberry. We do not know what
the doctor has against the road, but we
can scarcely imagine more unkind or
uncomplimentary remark he could have
made. Take College street on down
from Main to SCOTS creek, and drive
over it. And even on to the college.
1t is like driving over corn rows. And
Main street is nobody's pretty little baby.
But we suppose they are doing the best
they can with the resources at hand.
Will Haigler was brought into the
recorders court Wednesday morning !
charged with almost everything except
carrying concealed prayer book. When
that there was pressing invi-
tation awaiting him to be present at the
morning entertainment at the police sta
ton, Will politely declined, saying that
the atmosphere in that part of town
didn't agree with his health. Then he
threw in his clutch and speeded away
in high gear with Policeman Whitaker
in hot pursuit. But Wills spark was a
little weak while WThitaker's carburetor
was in fine shape. Will was compelled
to return and take his medicine, consist
ing of four ingredients in one dose, viz:
vagrancy, assault, petty larceny, and
using abusive language in the court
room. For these he was handed tickets
to the Pastime moving dirt show, for 100
days.
