MAYOR VETOES A SALARY
RAISE VOTED BY COUNCIL
Disapproves Action Increasing the
Salary of Superintendent of
Lights and Water.

A proposed increase in the salary
of j. D. Collier, superintendent of
lights and water, has become an issue
in the city council.
At the last meeting of that body
Councilman McLendon moved that
the salary Of the superintendent be
increased from $3.50 to $3.50 a month.
giving as a reason that the salaries
Of other employees of the city had
been increased 10 per cent. Five
councilmen voted for it, and Coun-
Gilman Baldwin against it.
Mayor McNulty announced that he
was opposed to the proposed increase
and would veto the action, which he
later did by filing a veto in the office
OF the city clerk. The mayor gave his
reasons as follows:
My reasons for so doing are that
l think the salary of $3.50 per month
with the free use of water and lights
for his family use is ample; that the
salary committee have rendered their
report for the year 1919 at the Jan
uary meeting of the city council,
which was adopted, fixing the salary
at the sum above named, and | do
not see where conditions have chang
ed since that date to justify an in
crease of 10 per cent. in so short a
time"
The matter will come up again at
the March meeting of the council,
when an effort will probably be made
to override the mayors veto.

MAYOR GIVES CITY
CASLESS SUNDAYS
SALE OF FUEL THAT MAKES
CHUG BUGGIES GO is FOR
RIDDEN ON SABBATH.

Mayor McNulty is putting into eff
feet reform movements in broken
doses, probably so as not to give the
public too great jolt at once.
Following an order issued the first
of the year forbidding the sale of
Coca-Cola and other soft drinks and
cigars on Sundays after 10 80 o'clock
in the morning he has now banned
the sale of gasoline on Sundays. The
new order was put into effect the first
ne Sunday, and the automobiles
who failed to get supply Satur-
for their buzz wagons had either
to stay at home or walk like ordinary
mortals.
As usual in all matters of this kind.
there are widely different opinions
on gasless Sundays.

FARM PROFITS
WILL AID LOAN
Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their
Share in the "Victorious"
Fifth.

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the. position
of comfort and prosperity which is
his just due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average OF
farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth s12,2S0000,O00.
This year it is estimated that a
greater wheat acreage than ever Will
be sown. Naturally, the farmer is
making the most of his opportunities.
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything ht
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. Andi Europe will fur
nish a market for his fat hogs and
steers.
It would be interesting, # possible.
to assemble comparative statements
OF the farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the list OF
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting oer-
haps to have a statement of the Lilo.
erty Bonds now in the hands Of these
tillers Of the soil.
Very soon the farmer will have fur
ther opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as we'll developed
as any mans. For another loan is
almost in sight, loan that will draw
upon US ALL
Because of his price guarantee OF
s2.26 a bushel, Uncle Sam stands to
lose from so to Is cents upon every
bushel Of wheat harvested next seas
on. Having given this guarantee to
the farmer, he will make it good.
That is Uncle Sans way. But what
is Mr.. Farmer going to do for Uncle
Sam in the Victory Liberty Loan?
In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a class. has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able meantims
to get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put
a restriction, than others have.
The big question now, when he
stands to cash in at Is per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are
suggesting that the farmer should
buy 500 bond for each 100 bushels
of wheat he sells to the government.
He has made the profit and should
have no hesitancy in taking high
grade security in payment for the dif-
ference between what the govern
ment gets and what he receives for
his wheat.

War Savings Stamps are to be affixed
only to 1919 War Savings Certificates.

WANTED
100 boys and girls, or More, to Join
the Fig Club in Newberry County,
1919.

Objects to be attained:
l. To give the boys and girls prac-
teal knowledge of hog raising and
fattening.
2. To teach them to grow hogs more
economically by using permanent
pasture and such forage crops as
clover, rye, alfalfa, soy beans, velvet
beans, COW peas, etc.
8. To teach them the value of pure
bred hogs versus scrubs
4. To teach grading and marketing
of hogs.
5. To increase the home supply of
meat.
Newberry county last year import
ed 100000 pounds Of salt pork, be-
sides many hogs on foot for slaughter.
These hogs can, and should, be grown
at home. There is little excuse for
any farmer in Newberry county hav-
ing to send to the western markets
for his meat. Fat backs are now SELL
ing at 80 cents per pound, and will
continue to be high-priced as long as
the Southern farmer insists that there
is no money in anything except cot
ton.
In order to encourage the boys and
girls of the county to join club and
increase our meat supply, the banks
have offered to furnish any good boy
or girl enough money to purchase a
pig; the money to be replaced when
the pig is sold this fall.
Also, the business men of the coun-
ty have very literally offered prizes
for the members to compete for:
prizes to be awarded by competent
judges.
The business men Of the county have
alse agreed to see that the pigs are
marketed to the best advantage. II
the local buyers cannot handle the
pigs, we will assemble a carload and
ship them to Baltimore. accompanied
by some one to look after sales.
All boys and girls who wish to join
should notify me at once. stating
whether they already have a pig or
whether they wish to buy one. Pure
bred pigs are preferred, but. if pure
breds cannot be had, we will use
grades. Good pigs can be bought
here in the county at reasonable
prices.
Those who have good pigs for sale
sould list them with me at once, so
that may be able to supply the club
members without trouble.
The pigs should go on feed soon, so
as to have tLam finished and ready
for market by the middle or last OF
November.
Write or phone me at Prosperity.
