TOMATO THIEVES AT DOVER.
Many Baskets of Them Stolen From
Cars During the Night.

Tomato thieves have begun whole
sale thefts in the vicinity of Dover
Some time last Wednesday night 10
baskets of tomatoes, the property of
Caleb Boggs & Son, which had been
loaded on cars for shipment to the
city markets, disappeared. Of 100
baskets, which farmer named Long
had loaded on cars about half a mile
south of Dover, at Cooper's Corner.
to be shipped away, thirty-three bas-
kets were missing Thursday morning.
1t is believed that the thieves in each
case used motor trucks, probably sew
eral, in which to carry off their plum
der. 1t is probable that the same par
ties committed both robberies, al
though nothing definite has been
learned that would establish this as a
fact. This is the third tomato rob-
berry in three nights. At present to-
matoes are selling at 80 gents to 81
a basket. Suspicious characters are
said to have been seen about some of
the canneries and shipping points
lately, and it is believed that they are
in the thefts.

| ~NFRNHAs
At the meeting of the State Hiob.
way commission held in Dover last
friday no definite steps were taken =,
proceed with the DUPONT Boulevard
from its present terminus at Belmont
Hall farm to Smyrna but the com.
mlttee representing Smyrna Town
council feel encouraged that the road
VIII atleast come over Lake Como
taking in the "break" at the causo
way, whether it goes east or west Of
smyrna. I. Coleman dupont. donor
OF the road who made an offer of $1,000
TO Smyrna for right of wav thru
town limits, was in Smyrna FRIDAY
morning, and went over the detou,.
around the break in the dam and took
olrdseye view of the situation. At
the meeting in Dover, President l.
M. Price and Councilmen J. E. Wilson
and w. F. Keith looked after Smvr-
mas interests. The committee had
gone over one of the suggested routes
and feel that all the properties in the
line OF the 100 foot right of way along
Monrovia Avenue can be purchased
within the $4,000 limit and a direct
course can be taken to either Prvor's
or Armstrong; corner on the State
road. Clayton sent a delegation
headed by former State Senator J. R.
Clements, asking that the dupont
Boulevard take a course to the west
OF Smyrna instead of East, so that
the boulevard would come between
Clayton and Smyrna The result was
that more surveys were ordered both
to the East and West of Smyrna, be-
fore fully determining the course. If
the course west of Smyrna is taken it
can still come over the present cause
way and swing to the left instead of
the right and strike a straight course
across Commerce Street near the
stand pipe and on to the State road
at the Hartman farm. Whatever
route is taken Smyrna folks are anX- /
Gus to see the road continue from
Belmont Hall on by Odd Fellows Gem
etery and over the causeway, save the
Lake, and give flower garden ap-
1rOach to SmyIna's main entrance
rom the South. Just when definite
action will be taken is not known. 1t
S hoped that whatever course at
smyrna is taken, the bridge and spill
lam could at least be completed
,efore cold weather sets in and make
'etter the route from Smyrna TO
Dover. As it is, it probably means
lothing will be done until after the
additional surveys are made, and
maybe not until spring.

TO SPARE PUPILS FOR WORK.
State Board of Education Vote to
Modify Attendance Rules.

At meeting of the State Board of
Education, Friday, at which County
School Superintendents Holloway of
Kent and Hardesty of Sussex were
present, the matter Of school atten-
dance was brought up. In view of
the scarcity of labor in the counties
and the lack of facilities in the wav
OF school buildings and equipment, it
was the opinion of the members of
the Board that provisions should be
made for meeting these conditions in
as practical and sympathetic a man.
ner as possible. The following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
That the rules and regulations of the
State Board, adopted September 3, in
regard to school attendance, be
amended to provide that absence of
pupils prior to November l, 1919, be
permitted, on written statement of
parents OF guardians that absence is
necessary for the purpose of ag1icult-
ural pursuits and other necessary
work. On making applications, par
ents or guardians are requested to
state the number of days absence
asked.

FIREMEN RECEIVE NICE CHECK
Citizens Hose Company, of Smy. a
Receives Aid From Farmers Mutual

AAOSC~ COHtpdhy, OF SmNs a
Receives Aid From Farmers Mutual
Among the recent contributions to
the Carnival Fund of Citizens Hose
Company was check for 500 from
the Farmers Mutual Fire ms. Co.
whose principal Office is located in
Wilmington. The check came through
Mr.. Wilson T. Cavender, one of the
board OF managers, and was a COM
plete surprise to the company, as Mr..
Cavender had quietly urged his COM
pany to assist the local company in
their effort to pay off their indebted
ness on their fire engine. AS this is
the first instance where any aid has
come from Insurance Companies the
boys naturally feel indebted to the
Farmers Mutual and also Mr. Caven-
der for their voluntary assistance.

We regret more than our Prosperity
correspondent that we could not
handle her newsy letter that came
in on MonhGay. We told her that we
would soon be ready to take care Of
her, letters in good shape and she
took us too seriously, but We hope It
: will not be long before we can be-
gin to print real newspaper.
We do not need any one to tell lis
that we have not been printing very
much of a newspaper for the past
year, but if all of the critics could
fully realize the difficulties under
which we have labored they would
wonder how We have done as we'll as
we have. The morning in coming
and we have lived through the diff
ficulties with the firm belief that
il would be morning some time, and
that the clouds could not hang over
us all the time.
The new organization is now N
charge and when that new machine
gets here about which we have talked
so much, we want our correspondents
from all over the county to send rs
the news in brief form from thci"
communities, and we will handle it
promptly for them. 1t is the purpose
to make The Herald and News rea!
county paper and to cover the whole
county. We will get up such a head
Of steam that we will remove OBJ
stacles like that Sam Jones story;
went that Col Featherstone told IA
his admirable address at the Central
Methodist church the other SUNDAY
evening. We will just toot oar
whistle and the cattle will thro"
their tails over their backs and get
cut Of the way and we will not have
to stop the train and drive them OH
the track. But promises don't CONT.
Performance is the thing that counts.

Some OF the merchants seem 10
think that it will do harm even to
suggest that under the new time we
should observe the same old o'clock
as the hour for early closing Of
stores, and that we were mistaken
in stating that the stores opened at
the same hour and that instead of
saving an hour it was really making
an extra hour. They say that the
stores now open an hour later, that
is to say at o'clock instead of Z
o'clock, as formerly: If that be true
it. still makes the hours the same and
so far as daylight goes there is no
saving or losing on either end, and
that is the season we said it was a
very silly and foolish law. The mer-
chants also say that when the stores
did close at o'clock new time there
was more selling of gasoline than be.
fore and that instead of the time BE-
ing used in working war gardens it
was spent in motoring over the coun-
try for the pleasure of it. Well, that
is all right because some pleasure is
needful and helpful. The only good
we see in the new law it move up all
messenger trains without changing
schedules and some of them we would
like to see moved up little any way,
and then some Of them moved back:
but we can't have everything just
like we want it and If we could we
would not want it. So as far as we
are concerned personally in the day.
light saving matter it. makes no diff
ference to us, because we get up at
sunup usually and keep on going un-
til midnight and the hours on the
clock do not disturb US except that
sometimes it is a little difficult to
get accustomed to the new time when
we have to attend meetings. Then
they say it does not suit the country
people because they like to drive to
town late in the afternoon and desire
to have the stores open so that they
may do little. shopping.

TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

The Herald and News has several
times aforetime spoken of the I'M
portance of having some traffic reg
ulations, and the greater Importance
of having them enforced.
In Columbia orders have been is
sued to the police to enforce strictly
all of the traffic rules and regulations
and violators are being hailed before
the recorder and dealt with as they
should be.
In this day of many motor cars and
inexperienced, and worse still, care
less drivers, it is very important 10
the public safety that there should
be some very strict regulations. AID
more important that these regula-
tons be enforced. Of course, it
every one had the proper regard tcr
the rights of the other fellow there
would not be so much need of regula-
tions, but somehow in this day we
seem not to have very high regard
for the rights of the other fellow. II
fact, most of us seem to go on the
presumtion or the hypothethis that
we are the only ones who have any
rights, and the other fellow must
lcok out for himself.
We are surprised every day when
we do not hear of some accident right
here in Newberry. There are signs
all around for cars to stop, but III
many cases they pay no heed to the
sign, and if they do they stop after
they reach the middle of the cross
ing, or after they have gone entirely
over it.. There is not much need 20
stop then, and certainly it would be
considered very bad judgment to stop
on the centre of a railroad crossing
if we were doing so to avoid the ap-
proach of train, and why should
the same thing not be true as to d
street crossing? No good to stop then,
or even after you have gone beyond
the crossing.
The ordinance in reference to let
ting cars stand for ten minutes on
cerain streets seems to have the at
tention of the authorities more than
any other. That is all right, but it
would not hurt or do any damage 10
permit a car stand for few minutes
over time if the occupants were nav
ing business in the store or office.
and especially if it happens to be
, some of our country friends. Maybe
they are just loading some articles
that they have purchased and ii
would be very inconvenient to carry
the articles to the car. No use to te
so very exacting in this ordinance
when there are so many more thai
are so much more needed to be en-
forced. Besides, since the lot thai
had been used for parking is beias
used for a new garage and there i
now no place in which! to park cars
Unless; the party is really blocking
traffic a minute OF two over: time
would sdo 40 one any injury, unless
he is just unnecessarily permitting
his car, to stand there. There. Is neet
for the use of discretion, in the. en-
forcement of all laws. And the :ex
ercise of some good common sense
Fact is;s the town will have to pro
vide some place in which our countr,
friends, most all of whom now ridI
motor cars, may park their cars.
