for defending him. The defendant
told him that the foreman of that
jury had had some of that beef for
supper the night before. 1t seems
to me that there is somebody looking
out for some beef in this case. Boys,
you had better take Davy Crockett's
rule to "Be sure you are right" be-
fore you cast your vote "then 60
ahead"

OLD SCENES AND FACES
OF LONG AGO RECALLED

for several years, and there is in an
other part of the town the high
school. And the schools now have
several teachers. The beautiful wood
land which stood in the rear of the
school building has given way to the
march of population, and there are
now rows of new and modern homes
all along new streets that have been
opened in the days that have come
since then. But the grounds have a
familiar look and the old Burt home
still stands just across the street IN
the apex of the triangle. This is the
house in which it is said that Jeffer-
son Davis held his last cabinet meet
ing. But the main street in front of
the school building is being paved
with cement and bithulithic and this
adds not only to the comfort of the
people who travel this way but also
to the beauty of the surroundings.

And then I want Mayor Blease
and his council to take a party of the
Newberry business men over to this
little town when the street paving is
completed and let them see what
sort Of streets are being builded, and
| see the delegation in the legisla-
!ture is going to let the people of the
county vote on issuing 100000 in
bonds for road building. In recent
years two counties have been cut off
from Abbeville, Greenwood and Nc
Cormick, but the old county is still
alive and moving forward.

Maybe I should not have written
all of this about another county, and
maybe it will not interest the readers
of The Herald and News, but I just
couldn't help it and here it is. If
you do not care to read it why just
pass it up.

I called to see Chief Justice Gary
and found him in his study among
law books writing opinions. Judge
Gary is interested in the human side
of the law and the ethics of the pro-
fession and has done much toward
standardizing the ethics of the bar,
and in rendering his decisions en-
deavors to study carefully Cne case in
hand and all the circumstances and
to be guided by what is right and
just between man and man rather
than the technical precedents which
may be found in decisions which
were rendered by learned judges OF
another generation and amid differ
ept conditions. He has also delivered
many addresses which have been
quoted very largely in this and for
eign lands, and they are authority on
many live subjects because when he
undertakes to make an address he
studies the subject thoroughly and
speaks from the record. One of his
addresses has been printed in the
law reports by requests of the bar,
something that is without precedent
in the State. When I was i'm Able
vile Judge Gary was young law
yer having but recently been ad-
nlitted to the bar and opened up an
Office in this good old town.

then MCGOWAN and Parker and then
Cothran and Perrin and so on, but
now there is not one of the name at
the bar. Mr.. William P. Greene, who
also so ably edits The Press and Ban
ner, has possibly the largest practice
at the bar at present. The same is
true of the county officers. In those
days Judge Fuller Lyon was probate
judge, Major Zeagler was clerk of
court, Mr.. DuPree was sheriff and
Mr.. Perrin was treasurer and Mr..
Gilbert school commissioner and.
think Mr.. Hill was auditor. I remem-
ber Mr.. Gilbert because I had to stand
an examination to get certificate to
teach. Jack Perrin is now clerk of
court. JAG: went to school to me and
he was bright boy and they tell me
he is the most popular man in the
county. Dick Sondley is the auditor
and you know he is one of our New
berry men. do not recall the other
county officers. They have built a
new court house and fine city hall
in which is large opera house, but
have not seen any court house that
is better than the one at Newberry
for the same money, and as for the
Jail we have the finest in the state.
spent very pleasant half hour
with DR.. J. L. Martin. When was
in Abbeville he was the pastor of
the Presbyterian church. He says
that he had to retire from the active
ministry because cf his health, but
that he must preach and that from
the waist up he is stronger and more
vigorous than ever in his life, though
he told me he was 80 years old some
time during the first of the present
month. He has made a special study
of Revelations and the Apocalypse
and showed me two sermons from

Just a short way on the same
street where once stood the Presby-
terian church now stands a magnlfl-
cent structure which I was told was
the Baptist church, anu the Presby-
terians built on the other corner OF
the same lot after their building was
destroyed by fire when the elegant
home of Justice MCGOWAN was de-
stroyed. In the days of which l am
writing the Baptists had a mission at
this place and a small brick church
around the corner. The Methodist
have erected a new building but it
and the parsonage are at the same
place.

to S25 gold, monthly, and they con-
tain shower baths, running water and
electric lights The water and lights
are extra. For the former minimum
of $3.50 and for the latter $3.50 per
month is charged. The water serv-
ice thus provided permits the con-
sumer to use all the water he wants
for his garden and very seldom one
ravs more than the minimum rate.
The water plant is municipality own
ed.
The wage earners are also pretty
we'll paid. For instance the printing
industry pays its female compositors
an average of Is pesos weekly. Most
of the composition is done under a
piece basis. Mechanics and skilled
laborers are proportionately well
paid and it is stated that as soon as
the government now in control of the
republic firmly establishes itself the
employees of the republic will be as
well paid as they are in any other
country in the world.

High Cost Of Living
In Mexico

(This week the Arizona Labor Re
view of Tucson will say:)
Much has been said and written
about the high cost of living in the
United States and the American con-
tinent, but the chronicles have been
silent as to the living expense in Mex
leo. SO
The following is a list as an ex-
ample of the living expense in Hemo-
sillo, the present provisional capital
of Mexico:
Potatoes, 15c; tomatoes, 15c; fri
joles, Is; beef 40c; pork, Soc; sugar,
block, kilos for 45c; coffee from 75c
to 90c; 40-pound can American lard,
$11; Mexican lard, same quantity,
$1175; Sonora flour, 300-pounds,
$21; Mexican tobacco, 81; Mexican
rice, 20 1hc; Prince Albert crimp cut
tobacco, small can. SOC Ut Is said that
this tobacco can be bought in No
gales, Sonora for 16c); oranges are
sold anywhere from one cent a piece
to six for five cents. The above
prices are for per kilo unless other
wise stated and the money is gold.
One can have a shave. hair cut and
q little hair tonic rubbed on his head
for 81. Shaving certinly could be
avoided by those who would want to
save this expense by shaving their
own self but now that Hermosillo is
the capital of Mexico at least for the
time being, and where the brains and
finances of the country are concen-
trated-the BARRIERS are doing a
Splendid business.
Contrary to the high cost of neces-
stiles for ones upkeep the restaurants
are not charging exhorbitant prices.
For instance the following bill OF
fare was served on Friday for
lunch for 75c; Soup, beef steak, liver
with onions, ribs of pork, potatoes,
red beets. string beans, salad, rad
dish, mashed pink beans, bread and
butter, pie, tea. coffee or milk.
AS most Of the Restaurants are
operated by filthy foreingers" "a la
Citizen) in Tucson, so are they in
Hermosillo. But. in Hermosillo the
owners are left to mind their own
business so long as they obey the laws
anr they are not blackmailed by an ir-
responsible yellow journalist or petty
politicians; and consequently one can
always sit down to table and enjoy
a hearty meal in their establishments.
The housing problem is serious In
Hermosillo. 1t is very difficult to
find suitable house or apartment
vacant as most of those are spoken
Tor before the old tenant vaca,es.
For instance Adolfo de la Huerta,
who has been governor of the state
Of Sonora but who now is provisional
president of the republic, occupies an
apartment opposite the state govern
snent building. Certainly de la Huerta
Is very modest man and by the way
it can truthfully be said that he Is
the most liberal thinking Individual
that has ever occupied the governors
chair of Sonora As a consequence
his subjects idolize him.
In Hermosillo nearly every yard
and hallway of house is filled with
beautiful flowers and it is no wonder
that thousands of Americans annual
iy stop here for the sole reason to en-
Joy seeing them. A house, say 3 or
q rooms rents for an average of $50

ALICE JOYCE

Many of the greatest men and wo-
men of the stage have had their names
associated with one certain play.
Alice Joyce seems destined to have
the same distinction. The Vitagraph
star has had success after success, but,
Hike all other motion picture stars, she
has been without role that stood out
separate and distinct from the rest. In
"ihe Vengeance of Durand," adapted
from Rex Beach's powerful story
adapted by Mr.. and Mrs George RAN
d"lph Chester, she has the best role
