TIE NEW JAIL TO BE BUILT
on THE OLD SITE

The Jail commission held a meeting
on Tuesday. There were preesnt at
the meeting the senator and repre-
sentat;ves and the chairman OF the
State board of charities besides full
attendance of the members of the
commission. Under the act the COM
mission to do anything must have thu
approval Of the Newberry delegation
in the legislature as to location and
the State board of charities as to the
plans and specifications for the build
ing
The meeting on Tuesday was called
81 ecifcally for the purpose of determ-
i1iing the location of the new jail.
After discussion it was decided to
build the new Jail on the site of the
present Jail and the work to be COM
nienced as soon as it can under the
act and pushed to speedy conclusion.
The. present Jail is very unsatisfactory
The present jail is very unsanltary
and it is cruel to have prisoners con-
flied therein.
Il is expected now that the location
has been decided upon that the city
council will build a good street out
Harrington at least from college
street to Nance and that Nance street
from the jail to Main will be put in
fire condition so as to be in keeping
with the new Jail

waiting on the senate to dispose of the
before that body and which have al
ready passed the house. "The reve-
une bill has been passed by the house
and &s still in committee in the SEN
ate" said MI Dominick, "and the
food control bill was disposed Of
in a week by the house and It has
ncv been in the senate for five weeks.
The s676, 900 aviation measure was
passed in a short time by the house
and is still under consideration in the
senate. In fact, the house is entirely
rrn with it's work and is simply wait
in. on the senate. While some people
ary some newspapers seem to oe
chsfng under the delays in the pas
sege of some of the war legislation
the house can not be blamed for any
OF these delays"
Mr.. Dominick will remain over n
Newberry for several days unless the
senate makes better headway, but will
get back in time to be pTeseut when
the senate sends the bills back to the
house.

on account of the years that are gone

about these old landmarks. Yes,

Executive Order.
Hereafter when a vacancy occurs
in the position Of postmaster OF any
office of the first, second, or third
class as the result Of death, resigna-,

ANOTHER ROMANTIC MARRIAGE
NEWBERRY COUPLE IN ALABAMA

The age of romantic marriages
seems to have been revived since the
dawn of the era of high cost of living
and preparedness for war. This state
ment may appear to be some what par
adoxical, but recent events will bear
us out that there is something to 1t.
1t may be that the activity that has
orickened the pulse of the Industrial
and commercial world and caused
rush heretofore unheard of has shak--
en- little old Dan Cupid cut OF his
peaceful and quiet way of conceiVing
and executing his program and made
him "get a move on" to use the
phrase of the times.
From his snug little humming bird
perch he sees the tremendous surging
of the mighty masses, the mingling of
millions OF men in the mad push for
victory and supremacy, not only IN
the war departments that are hasten
ing the mobilization of our regiments
and getting the boys ready for the
trenches in France, but also in the
marts of traffic and trade where
greedy men grip and clutch for the
fortunes wrung in heartless avarice
from the struggling poor through the
storing of the -four that should be
made into cheaper bread for the hum
grv and the meat that should be cas-
ier to get to give them strength. See
ing all this and more the little god OF
love and happy marriages wants to
keep up with the procession in the
rapid onward march. He has to get
buster or get left in the sweep of the
onrushing tide. So into the fangs OF
his darts he injects the germs and mi
crobes of restless haste to exceed the
speed limit.
Hence, while the whole world 's
throbbing with excitement and moth
ing its calm and serene except the
babbling brook in the meadow and
the chirping insects that play around;
while the huge and mighty war. now
ers and reapers- and binders and
tbreshers of bait. are moving down
men like wheat in the fertile fields,
reaping the harvest Of, awful death
and destruction, binding the widows
and little children to poverty and de-
spair and threshins dead bodies for
grease to move the wheels and ma
chinery for the carnage; while
crowded trains and ships are hurrJ-
ins with more men to fill the gaps;
while the earth is heaving with the
tramp and the tread and the turmoil
of gathering and increasing forces
and the sea is rolling with the suDn1a-
rines beneath its waves and the baS-
teiships upon it's ruffled bosom and
the air beneath the skies is pierced
With the flying implements of the COM
biration below; while all this is go
ing on, Cupid, on to his job, is spur
ring men and women to register for
the matrimonial race and lose no more

HAS THE EXECUTIVE ORDER
PRES. WILSON BEEN IGNORl '

In The State of Thursday morning
the following special from Washing
ton appeared. AS it is somewhat IN
conflict with the interview which
CONGRESSMAN Dominick gave The
Herald and News in regard to the
appointment of postmasters the re-
porter went to see him again on
Thursday morning to enquire if ne
knew anything about these appoint
ments as five of them are in the third
district.
Mr.. Dominick was very much sur
prised because he had been told pos
it;vely by Mr.. Burleson, the postmast-
er general, that the order of the xpresl-
dent would be strictly adhered to ami
no appointments would be made and
al, postmasters would hold on to the'"
icbs for life unless removed for cause
or ~ death Or resignation and lew
die and none resign. Here is the
special in The State:
Washington, July 1S.-The follow
ing appointments and reappointments
OF South Carolina postmasters were
announced here today: Florence X.
Metcalf;, Campobello; Lemuel Reid;
Iva; E. w. Shull, New Brookland; E. l..
Richards, Wagner; L. M. Poulnot,
Charleston; E. C. Bethea, Latta; T. NJ.
Mshan, Williamson; J. T. Lawrence,

vile: E. D. Raney, Beaufort; w. c.
Clinkscales, Belton; Lula J. Huntley,
Cheraw; W. NJ. Mcmillan, Clinton;
A. G.. King, Easley; J. A. Cannon,
Fountain Inn; F. B. Gaffney, Gafney; !;
J. F. Way, Holly Hill; J. H. Rothrick'
Inman; L. Stackley, Kingstree, and
P. n. Ffke, Spartanbars.
Congressman Dominick knew nothing
OF these app6iaensnts except what he
sax in the South Carolina papess. He
had nothing to say further than what
he said in aqtelegram to the postmas-
ter general OF which the following is a
cory: a,es's -. .oa':~ssl =.
Newberry, S. C., July 10, 1917.
Hen. A. s. Burleson, Postmaster Cen
eral, Washington.
Have noticed appointment Of five
postmasters in my district. May I
ask if these appointments have been
made under civil service order of the
president and regulations Of depart
ment of April 2, 1917. You told me on
March 20, 1917, that no reappointments
would be made and refused to reap
pe:nt postmaster at Due West on my
recommendation, saying that he would
be continued in Office under order OF
D, resident and rules of department and
reappointment would be unnecessary.
FRED H. DOMINICK, M. c.
There was also an understanding
between the congressman frop South
Carolina and the senators after MT.
Wilson was elected whereby the con-
g1essmen would have the right to
recommend for appointment OF the
postmasters of their respective dis
tr;cts and that such appointments
would receive the endorsement OF the
serators and the appointees would be
confirmed. In view of that under
standing which has been in force since
the election of Mr.. Wilson Mr. Domi-
nick sent the following telegram to
Senator Tiilman:
Newberry, S. c., July 10, 1917.
Hon. B. R. Tillman, U. S. \enate,

SOME POINTERS ABOUT THE
NEW FARM LOAN ENACTMENT

Several questions having arisen as
to the Interpretation to be given to
certain parts of the loan act, the fol-
lowing answers to questions, submit
ted to the secretary of the Farm Loan
Board will be of interest.
One of the explanatory leaflets is
sued by the board uses an expression
which led some to think that loan as
sociations must be kept within one
county. AS to this the secretary says:
"A farm loan association may ex.
tend its territory into two counties,
and in some instances this may be ad-
visable or necessary. County lines
are no barrier against an association
being formed in that vicinity, Il OBJ
ject being to get members irrespec-
tive ofwhether they live in one or an
other county AS matter of ia t each
association decides it's own territory
within which it will do business"
The question was submitted whether
person might obtain loan il not
actually living upon the land upon
which the loan was placed. Here is
the answer:
Division of Section IL may not
be interpreted so narrowly as you
imply in your letter. A farme who
superintends the opeations on his farm
may be eligible for loan especially II
he becomes member of local asso-
citation. While actual residence may
be preferable it may not be absolute
ly necessary in order to enable one
to borrow through a national farm loan
association"
Division 1 of Section IA OF tie Act
had led to the belief that farm loan
banks might be treated as banks of
deposit. On this point he secretary
says:
Tire federal land bank is not ex-
pected to do a general banking bust
ness. Its stockholders are primarily
national farm loan associations. The
national farm loan ASSOCIATIONS are
authorized under Section IL to issue
certificates against deposits OF cur
rent funds. which deposits are to be
Immediately transmitted to the FEEDER
al Land Bank and invested by 1t in
the purchase of farm loan bonds or
first mortgages. There would seem
to be a slight conflict between these
two provisions of Sections IL and IA.
but it may be stated as a general prin-
ciple that no Federal Land Bank can
do regular deposit and checking
business

who sincerely attempts to pull blood

apt to find that he will be bitten by
misunderstanding and resentment.
Bringing an end to a world war is too
momentuous task for one man and
one nation to accomplish. The sar,

has received President Wilson's peace
note shows that the allies are now in
no mood for peace. The war will be
