Scotland Caves Which Were Used As
Houses

Several large caves in Scotland,
which were used as houses a couple
of years ago, have been discovered.
Many relics have been left in these
dwellings. There are weaving
combs, whirls and spindles used by
women, enameled brooches, pins and
colored glass armlets with which they
decked themselves, women's and
children's shoes were also found. Be-
sides these are household utensils,
wooden dishes and spoons, stone
lamps and platters and pottery OF
various kinds. The men left tools and
weapons, plows, picks and rakes made
of deer antlers, wheels of carts, har-
ness mountings and large decorated
swords. Prof. James Carle, who,
made the discoveries declares that
the Romans who were once in posses
sion of the country taught the people
to make all these things.

M.vor Blea.e Urges Cooperation

Mayor Blease Urges Cooperation.
To the People of Newberry:
The Board of Health has establish
ed certain quarantine measures on
account of the influenza epidemic
now prevailing in our city. The
quarantine rules are for the protec-
ton of all the people. Those who
violate the quarantine endanger their
own health and lives as we'll as the
health and lives of others. The
regulations made by the Board of
Health, published in this issue of this
newspaper, are laws of the city of
Newberry, and persons who violate
these regulations are subject to fine
; and imprisonment.
have instructed the police OH
GERS to enforce strictly the quaran-
tine measures. But the policemen
can not be everywhere and see every
violation of the laws. 1t is up to the
people who believe in the enforce
ment of law, and who wish to do
their. part in staying the scourge IN
our midst, to assist the officers OF
the law; and I call on them to report
anv violations of the health regula-
tions to the chief of police. Just
telephone him to No 26. especial
" urge the physicians to comply with
the rules as to reporting forthwith
for quarantine all persons i'll with
influenza or pneumonia.
The parents are earnestly request
ed to keep their children Oft the
streets. The quarantine of the
schools will be useless if the school
children are permitted to run here
and there. Parents must not get Of
Tended if the policemen send or bring
their children home.
One place especially to be avoid
ed is the union station. Please do
not go there unless your business IS
most urgent.
If the people will cooperate with
the physicians and health authorities
the disease, now causing so much
suffering and sorrow, will soon be
stamped out. We ask aud urge that
cooperation.
Respectfully,
Eugene S. Blease,
Mayor.

LETTER FROM NEWBERRIAN
FROM OVER IN CANADA
Sault St. Marie, Ont. Canada, Jan. 25

Sault St. Marie, Ont. Canada, Jan. rs,
1920.
Just a few lines about the country
and people up here as | thought you
might be interested in knowing about
both.
Although this place is only just
across the lire from the U. S., 1t IS
easy to see the damper that the Eng
lish put on activity of all sorts. You
know that in England no industry
hustles all the time like in the. Z. 5.
1t is very notice. ble in the way this
steel plant here is operated. No hustle
and hustle like in the plants IN the
U. S. Same thing in street car SER
vice and post office. Lots Of other
things too.
Lots of French people Il mean
people of French descent) around
here. French-Canadians, they are
called, and they have very dark skin
and are rather coarse looking. All
notices in railroad stations and IN
trains are printed in English and
French. so you can see that there
must be quite lot of them.
Parts of Canada are almost entire
" inhabited by French people, notice
ably Quebec. They are stubborn
suspicious, secretive, close, tight class
of people, I am told, and do not mix
very much with any others.
Parts of Canada are dry and lots OF
liquor traffic (illegaD between the
dry provinces and the wet.
Total population of Canada is about
100000, so you see it is very thlnly
populated. Most of the population
is in few large cities, Montreal,
Quebec, Toronto, Ottawa, Sudbury
etc.
No Pullman company here. All
,sleepers are owned and operated by
the railroad company, diners too.
Travel for round trip here IS same
a. It used to be in the United States,
one fare plus about three-fourths OF
one fare. Negro porters same as we
have, and very much more polite con-
ductors, / came over here from

Origin of Loving Cup Not Clear

The origin of the loving cup Is
hazy. Some Investigators have as
serted that it's beginning was the
wassail bowl, belonging to festivities
antedating the Christian Era, and
that on the advent of Christianity the
custom of wassailing assumed a
religious aspect. The monks called
the wassail bowl the "pocalum carl
tatis" loving cup.) The ceremony
of drinking from one cup and pass
ing it around was observed at the
Jewish pascal supper, and on other
notable occasions.

NEW SCHOOL SYSTEM
Local Schools May Adopt New Ruling Whereby Pupils Will Attend All Year round.

Owing to the already overcrowded
 condition of the city schools and the evident likelihood that, these coalitions will increase faster than the question can be solved by new buildings it IS not impossible that New Britain may be compelled to adopt a new school system whereby pupils will attend all year round. In fact such a suggestion and recommendation was made at the meeting of the school board yeSter- day by Superintendent S H. Holmes. Under this plan which, MT. Holmes says, has the approval of the United States Bureau of Education, pupil has the choice of three out Of four terms. thus relieving congestion.
