FOR COMING YEAR
Present officials Reeieesed-Opros:
ton Develops to Chief Rodel-
sperger.

The town council held it's regular
meeting Tuesday night and proceed
ed to the election Of officers for the
ensuing term. Policeman j. P. Llv-
ingston did not apply for reelection,
and Mr.. B.. F. Melton, a. former, po-
!licenan, was elected to fill the posi-
tion made vacant by the resignation
of Mr.. Livingston other men,
bers of the force under Chief E. L..
Rodelsperger we're candidates for re-
election and they were reelected, as
follows: H. L. Tobias, J. B; Harmon,
il. C. Foy, j. H.. Willingham and r.
P. Franklin. The, other two men, S.
r. Matthews (wfo is also health Of
fcer) and B. F. Sample, do not come
under. this head. There were sew
eral other. applicants for policemen,
but the council chose the good men
who have made such efficient and re-
liable officers. The only Office not
filled by election at this meeting was
that Of chief OF, police, now being
held over by Mr.. Rodelsperger, who
has made the city the best chief of
police that. Newberry has had in
many years, This election was post
poned until next Tuesday night, OPP
position to Chief Rodelsperger devel-
oping at the last moment; the vote
standing three t6 three.
Mayor E. S. Blease reappointed
City Attorney j. B. Hunter to the
office he has so acceptably filled dur
ing his incumbency.
Ryal Bates, the well known '1amp-
lighter" janitor, was also reappoint-
ed to his old place, or rather, he was
continued in position on the retired
list with pension; and the considera-
ton shown this faithful old servant
meets with general appreciation.
Another good thing council did at
this meeting was giving the public
another chance at paying city taxes,
extending the same to January /.
The reelection Of Nh. John W.
Chapman as clerk and treasurer and
Joel W. Wertz as street superinten-
dent will give general satisfaction.
Mr.. Chapman has served FIVE terms
and by his wise management has say
ed the city great deal Of money.
Superintendent 60 Vert has al
ways been found by Us TO be most
accommodating official. He is more
or less handicapped in his work 5y
shortage of hands and lack of funds
at his disposal, but he tries to answer
all calls and gets there" just as soon
as he can. it is physical in,possi
bi!ity to be at two places at the same
time, let alone everywhere at once.
The objection (?) we have heard to
him is that he will STAY trees. Tie
election of these TWO was without OPP
position. Nh Wcr5Z has filed the
office of. superintendent the past
seven or eight years.

partment will be held here Friday,
July 8, beginning at a. m. Election
of q chairman and secretary will
come before the, department and rou-
tine business matters will be dis
posed Of.
1t is the general belief that NJ. NJ.

has established a record of highly sat
isfactory business efficiency and has
had the hearty support of the depart
ment members. Mr. Smiths knowledge
of road building and his thorough ac-
quaintance with the problems now be-
ing dealt with by the department are
taken to indicate that the members
will reaffirm their confidence in his
ability by re-designating him as their
leader.
The election of secretary will be
important. While no mention has
been made as to who the probable sue
cessor to j. p Clarkson, resigned, will
be, the department will choose a man
who is familiar with the work and
we'll qualified to fill this post. The
office temporarily filled after Mr.
Clarkson resigned to devote his full
time to the success of the constitu-
tional amendment for the proposed

ENGINEER ENLIVENED
STRANDED PICNICKERS

Engineer Hendricks was the life of

Saturday night and almost returned
| Sunday night. While at Camp Walton
Hendricks was talking with some of
the boys about 'scrapping." That is
to say, the boys were telling what
wonderful scrappers they were when

seen him and his brother the time

could have licked him if he'd been a

The trip to Camp Walton was un-
eventful. Saturday night was pretty
and moonlight and the course was
navigated without difficulty. Sunday
was spent with bathing in the gulf at
the finest beach in the country, each
surf battle succeeded by real, honest
feed at one of the hotels.
Returning from Camp Walton Sum
day night everything went well until
about half the course had been nego-
tiated. Then the motor decided to
quit and all efforts to coax it along
were futile. =
About 2 o'clock Monday morning a
rather severe squall came up and the
anchor was let go. This held sat

At daybreak additional unsuccessful
attempts to start the engine We're
made. In the meantime the anchor
had been taken in and at six o'clock
"a drift landing was made at the still
of the Carriers Turpentine Co.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson welcomed the
stranded picnickers and fed them. In
spite of an excellent meal, Engineer
Hendricks was unable to start the
motor. nevertheless he continued to
liven the party with drol1ery about
vest pocket sandwiches, the time his
mother washed his neck, and other
ridiculous sayings. AS a motor ex-
pert, Red is the best joke in town.
AT noon Capt. Rogers in the Myer-
dale came along and took the stranded
party in tow.
Those making the trip were: Mile.

HENRY S.. ELLIOTT
DIES AT CAPITAL

Tallahassee, June 28-(SpeciaD Tai
lahassee was grieyed and saddened
yesterday by the news of the death
of Henry S. Elliot of this city in a
hospital in Jacksonville where he had
been taken earlier in the week for
medical attention. 1t had been found
that he would shortly return to this
city restored to health, and his death
came as shock to his host of friends
here.
Mr. Elliot was for more than thirty
years chief clerk in the department of
agriculture in the office of the State
Commissioner of agriculture where
his faithful and efficient services
caused him to be recognized as one of
the most efficient and capable men
ever connected with the State Govern
nnent. Courteous, affable, kindly and
upright, he was universally beloved in
Tallahassee and his wise counsel will
be greatly missed in all matters af-
fecting the welfare of this city and
state. His knowledge of the matters
connected with his department was
remarkable and the state has lost the
services of one of the most valuable
men.
Mr.. Elliot is survived by his son,
Hon. Fred c. Elliot, Estate drainage
engineer and by his daughter, Miss
Edith Elliot, both of this city. The
funeral was held this afternoon upon
the arrival of the Seaboard train from
Jacksonville, Rev. Francis Yarnall,.
