We are having fine weather, many
Of the stores are beautiful with the
Christmas display, everybody has
plenty of money and things are
bright. Did we say everybody? Wen,
u great many people.
Hcarders and profteers to be pun
ished: attorney general makes plea
for assistance in bringing high prices
down.-Such as that in The State OF
Wednesday is the sort of stuff we like
to read.
The last marriage license issued
by Judge Ewart since the first OF
December up to Thursday morning
made Sc, of which 16 were white and
I 20 colored. Judge Ewart says Christ
mas eve is the big day for issuing
marriage licenses.
! There was big frozen dew on
! Tuesday morning, beautiful and, IN
vigorating, looking like Christmas
weather. When the wind doesn't
blow, a cold frozen dew morning is
the finest kind. We have many such
in Newberry.
! The interest of DR.. W. C. Ezell Of
Spartanburg in the Carolina Optical
company of this city has been bought
by DIR. f. C. Pierce, optician and
optometrist, who will conduct the
business in Newberry under his own
name.
At meeting of the Clemson col
lege board of trustees, held at Glenn
son college last week, memorial eXer-
cises were held in honor of the late
Senator Tillman. Among the speakers
was Alan Johnstone, who spoke for
the board of trustees.
Those terrible things predicted for
Wednesday did not take place. It
was mild and beautiful in Newberry
and among the pleasant things here
were two marriages right in the city,
one in the morning and one in the
afternoon. May it be lorg time
until the end of the world for them.
In describing the recent basket
ball game between the Newberry
high and Hyatt Fark high the CORES
ponderce in The State said: enc
Swain and Kerr were the best scor-
ing combination for Columbia and
deserve much credit. Newberry's en-
tire team played fast passing game
and their forwards, Bowman and
Floyd Gagged the ball almost at will"
A colored citizen went to Judge
Ewart the other day and told him he
wished to have his marriage license
changed, as the one he got in August
was no good, the girl having gone
back on him and he wanted to marry
another. The judge Informed the
man that new license was necessary.
This negro was not like the Spartan
burg negro who on similar occasion
: said the second girl was not worth
the difference of the dollar.
Ir. Joe w. Werts asks The Herald
and News to thank the city council
for reelecting him to the position of
superintendent of streets. We do so
with much pleasure. He appreciates
the compliment We are glad he has
been reelected, as he has always been
prompt to fix any part of 81 dewalk
we asked him to fix. The only thing we
ever had against him was that he
once removed one of our pet trees.
He is all right, even if he is little
"bullheaded" sometimes.
The city of Newberry has been
fortunate in having as mayor a cul-
tivated and polished citizen who was
equal to all occasions. He was al
ways happy in entertaining any gath
ering of people. Mr.. Z. F. Wright
retires from Office with a fine record
as courteous official. It is a good
thing for city to have as mayor
nan who can handle large bodies of
men gracefully and successfully and
hold the reins with steady hand and
a clear head. Such man, also, is the
new mayor, Mr. E. S. Blease.
Purcell and Lominack (Ned and
Rob- have bought two lots adjoining
! the lot bought by G. w. CtBillie")
Coward between the latter's fruit
stand ard the Dodge garage in the
upper business part of Main street.
Messrs. Purcell and Lomipack got
their lots from Mr.. Pet Baker, while
Mr.. John Baker sold Mr.. Coward his
lot. Purcell and Lonlinack have an
option on the balance of the vacant
space. The lots are in the growing
business portion of the' city, where
automobile garages continue to grow
and flourish.
Wells idea of road drag is the
hest yet. We saw it in the city on
Wednesday and had an invitation to
see it at work, but couldn't leave the
office. Burton Wells was hauling the
drag, which was attached to the
Wells's strong Moline Universal
truck, Burton handling it to perfec-
ton. The drag, which is heavier and
more secure than other road drags, is
so constructed as to leave the road
Ia na,,nh hatter condition than the
