CITY OFFICERS REELECTED
AFTER 4 GOOD RECORD

The town council at meeting Tu-
esday evening elected the officials to
serve for the year 1917. 1t was d
reelection, as the entire circle was un-
animously kept at the various posts
of duty, with one singl exception, and
that was his own choice. Mr.. r. T.
Franklin, the faithful policeman at
the old mill, having decided to move
to the country next year, was not an
applicant for reelection, and his place
was filled by another.
The only position for which there
were applicants other than the IN
cumbents was that of policeman, and
there were only about seven for that.
The absence of opposition speaks as
we'll for the officers as does their un-
animous reelection by an apprecia-
tive council, whose sound judgment
and wise selection will be endorsed
by the community.
Of course in some individual in
stances there will be little kick at
a part of these remarks, because in
every city or hamlet in the world the
officer who does his duty will incur
the displeasure of some of the men
he has to arrest. The action of city
council means: "Well done, good and
faithful servants
Newberry has a fine set of officers
and they deserve the treatment they
have received. Happy New Year to
them all. Here they are:
J. W. Chairman, clerk and treasrr-
er; Joe w. Werts, street overseer; E.
L. Rodelsperger. chief Of NO. =
O. Stone, H. D. Whitaker, E. H. Cou-
sins and G. H. Connolly, city police
men; Oscar Gentry. policeman for

uENMiN NOTE BRINGS
PEACE A STEP NEARER
Despite the Fact That it Failed to
Meet Wilson's Suggestion for al
AyOWaI OF TermS-Entente Likely
DlOc6 all Plans.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Germany's
reply to president Wilson's note is
regarded here as having advanced the
peace movement another step despite
the fact that it disappoints in not
meeting his suggestion 1or an aVo" 4!
OF terms.
The reception Germany's reply re-
ceives among the Entente Allies
whose Statesmen have publicly ue-
clared against such program. no."
becomes the point upon which a 1ur-
ther move is hingeu. The German
note probably is the prelude to SER
les of carefully considered c"':eate
moves in the great game of world
diplomacy all possibly leading to an
approach for real discussion OF
peace terms on grounds which all the
belligerents can feel place them at
no disadvantage.
This is the official view of Ger
many's reply so far as it has been for
mulated on the basis of the unofficial
text. The official copy had not been
received tonight and President Wilson
was keeping his mind open.
Neutral diplomatic quarters too,
regarded the note as step toward
peace and rather leaned to the view
that G. -nany might follow it with a
confidential communication of some
sort outlining her terms
The view of ;ne Entente Allies en-
bassies, frankly expressed, was that
it was not an answer to President
Wilson's note but rather a document
for circulation in Germany and III
neutral countries with the object of
moulding opinion to place the res
possibility for continuing the war on
the Entente. Among the Germanic
diplomats the only view expressed
was one of surprise that the reply pre-
ceded receipt Of the Entente reply to
Germany's original peace proposal CT
December II.
1t was everywhere agreed that the
principal sticking point was the lack
OF definite statement Of terms such
as President Wilson asked and sucn
as Lloyd-George declared the Allies
would require if they were not to
put their "heads in moose with the
rope end in the hands of the Ger
mans" 1t is not beyond the realm
of diplomacy, however, to find way
to bridge the difficulty and Germany's
failure is not regarded as block to
the negotiations although it makes
them exceedingly difficult
Germany's declaration that She re-
CARDS the work Of securing the world
against future wars as work to be
taken up after the present conflict Is
endet was regarded with a diversity
Of d. on.
officials who turned back and COM
pared the statement with the phrases
of President Wilson's note did not find
the two out of harmony. nor in dis
agreement with the Presidents pub
lie utterances on a world peace to
preserve peace; yet there was an opin-
ion abroad in official quarters that the
ending of the war and the safeguard
ing of peace of the future were a
joint problem so inseparable that one
dependpd on the other.

had not been further down this
road than O'Neall school house In
many years. 1t is fine country and the
people live at home and have plenty
of all the good things they need to
make life worth while. My gooa
friend OF precious memory, Capt. Bill
Long, used to tell me that l was born
down there, but l asked my mother
about it and she says I was born down
at the old home at jolly Street, and
l reckon she knows. At any rate,
am told that my father did at one
time run saw mill near this place.
That was a long time ago. Mr.. Long
used to tell me that when he started
that mill he had one o. those old time
steamboat whistles, and at that time
they had never heard one, and when
it began to blow the people left their
plows and went to the house, they
thought it was old Gabriel's trumpet
sounding the last call. But I reckon
he was joking about it. But that old
whistle does make a terrible noise,
almost equal to the siren that we had
at Newberry to call out the firemen.
Mr.. Shealy lives just about mile
and a half from Saluda river. I was
told that there is now no ferry at this
place. 1t seems to me that this would
be a great inconvenience to the peo-
pie on either side, and l know that
Supervisor Sample will soon see thai
the ferry is open. 1t would mean
lot of business taken away from Pros
perity to shut the Saluda people on.
Just across the river is the rich Del
mar section of Saluda county.
This road from Prosperity on down
to the river has been worked and wild
pned. but it needs top dressing anf
then the use of the drag and it would
be a fine road. A little cooperation
on the part of the people. And the
county supervisor. and the thing is
done. Why not do lit?

BICHLORIDE POISONING
CURE is DISCOVERED
Antidote Has Been Used With Sue
cessful Results in Cincin-
natl, Is Claim.

District health officials are interested in
the reported discovery of a cure for
bichloride poisoning. Credit for discov-
ering the antidote, Health Officer Wood
ward said today, belongs to DR.. ]. H.
Wins of Cincinnati, and the efficacy of
the treatment is claimed to have been
demonstrated on the lower animals. The
antidote used is calcium sulphide. given
intravenously, grain of calcium sulphide
for each grain of the bichloride taken
One grain of calcium sulphide to one
ounce of water is the strength of the
solution used. 1t must be boiled and
filtered before use. Following the in
travenous injection, the remedy is given
by the mouth, in from one to five grain
doses, every hour until convalescence is
established.
The report of the Cincinnati board of
health claims that the treatment has been
followed in human beings by the happiest
results. and that although treatment
should be begun at the earliest possible
moment after the poison has been taken,
the result indicates. according to the re-
port, that recovery may be expected to
occur even after forty eight hours have
elapsed between the taking of the poison
ana the beginning of the treatment.
