Why the railroads should be pester-

Why the railroads should be poster
Ell just now about putting in cinder
screens for passengers, We do not
know. 1t looks as il the railroads had
their hands tuI eno1sa and the pas
sengers might stand III c.nders j
little while longer-Florence Times.
We suppose some member OF the
railroad commission got cinder IN
his eye. That is the history of the
passage of the law requiring the
railroads to put up those spark ar
yesters. AImember of the legislature
was returning to Columbia while the
legislature was I'M session and got a
-cinder in his eye and the next day he
introduced the bill for the cinder ar.
Testers and it wass passed.
Another new ruling is to make all
passengers enter and depart from the
coach at the same end while the door
at the other is lockd. 1t takes twice
as lond to load and unload. II the
1ule had required all passengers
Boarding q train to enter at one door
and those departing from the train
20 60 out at the other there would
have been some sense in the regu'a
tion.
The railroads are reapsng good
harvest just now.

4 FINE BARBECUE BY
SUMNER BROTHERS COMPANY

One Of the most delightful country
places in Newberry is the Clark place
at jalapa now owned by the Summer
Brothers company. There is the old
time country home and stretch1n,
ing out in front to the public road the
beautiful shady lawn, and then there
are the broad acres surrounding the
home with fine crops of corn and COT
ton and everything that is good for
man and beast.
+ We do not know of a more ideal
place for country residence than
this place. 1t is on the public road
and on the railroad and only seven
miles from Newberry and is served
now by a daily mail rom Newberry
and the road is fine It is the ideal
place for country home.
As has been the custom for several
years the Summer Brothers company
gave a barbecue on last Friday for
the hands who work on the place anc
we think it included the hands On tae
several places that are operated oy
this progressive firm and also those
who work for the company and live
in the city. In all there were some
twohundred of them and then Mr.. C..
E. Summer the president OF the COM
nany invited some $50 or 200 of his
friends to come and enjoy the dinner
.:th him.
The meats and the hash were all
well cooked and fine Jus: like the New.
ry:barbecue makers know how 20
fix o dinner Of this kind.
1t is a happy thought TO show yoar
hep that you appreciate their SER
vices and that you want them to en-
JOY life and to feel that they are q part
OF the machinery Of the place. The
dinner. was enjoyed by all who were
present.

MOVING CAREFULLY

We notice that in great many Of
the counties the exemption boards
have furnished list of the ones who
have been excused from the service
and the grounds on which the exemp-
4ion was made. Our board is moving
carefully and following the Law
strictly. Very few claims for exemp
ton have been passed on in. this
county as yet. The ones who have
been called and drafted have some1
ten days from the date of the exami
nation in which to file claims for ex-
emption.
The Herald and News VIII be glad
to publish the names Of those who
have filed claims for exemption and
the reasons on which the claims are
based, but We can not print 1t unless
the board will let US.
--
An Official bulletin from Wash
ington signed Crowder, says, among
ether things:
Local boards should therefore be
instructed Immediately to make
available to the press from day to day
the, names Of persons claiming ex-
emption OF discharges, the grounds on
hicli such claims are based, and, In
general, the number of cases that are
being disposed of by the boards from
day to day. This instruction does not
apply, Of course, to discharges on the
ground of physical disqnalifcations.T
