VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT.

VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT.
For Friday a picture has been sub
stituted for the one advertised in the
program. 'The Broken Butterfly
will be shown. This picture is one
of the biggest pictures OF the season
and has notable cast.
That part of the Boyd Epting
property in Friend street used as
stables by Pat Wise has been bought
by Banker H. L. Parr, who will con-
vert it into a garage for the present.
Mr.. Parr intends to put cotton
warehouse there later. We take
pleasure in noting these marks OF M
provelnent. The neighborhood of the
depot ought to be improved for the
favorable impression of passengers
travelling through or stopping over.
If you go to the opera house to-
day, Friday, you will see over three
hundred feet Of striking pictures re-
leased by the German war office
showing the latest views of Ger
many's former crown prince and
Hindenburg, through the Fox News.
This in addition to "The Broken
Butterfly and the usual comedy.
The owner of the lost glove found
his property through advertisement
in The Herald and News, and now
Laws Paysinger says he wants the
woman who lost her heel to come to
him and get her property, or else
leave her other heel with him. We
suggest that he turn the heel over to
that cotton platform bunch near the
depot.
What ought to be a warning to
other ladies is here briefly related: !:
On one of those very cold mornings
last week q lady wanted to start
quick fire. She used kerosene, as
many other ladies do, pouring the
oil from the can, holding it close
down. All of sudden there was a
big outburst of blazes and the flames
few fast and furious for a while,
coming very near causing serious in
jury and damage. Don't fool with
kerosene in the can near the fire
place or stove.
In q newspaper it doesn't take
much to change "James" to "Joseph." I"
All that is necessary is for the "a"
in "Jas" to drop to the 90" in "Jos." I"
That was how Auditor Jas. B. Half
acre was called Jos. B. Half
acre in Tuesdays paper. But that
doesn't keep him from making good
auditor. Sometimes letter is drop
ped from a word, the apostrophe gets
IN the wrong place and other things
don't go right. Even "Mr." is once
in a while changed to Mrs" and
Peacock" converted to peabody"
Painting the affected parts with
iodine is said to be good for the
itching in chilblain, and that unguen-
tine salve is good for the soreness.
This is the time of the age to buy
lots, while money is plentiful, the
population is increasing and people
are wanting to build. A great
chance will be given lucky ones on
Saturday afternoon, beginning at 3
O'Clock, when Real Esta!e Agent
Frank r. Hunter will sell a number
of beautiful lots in elders field.
One lot is to be given away to The
holder Of the right ticket.
Auditor Halfacre will be at O'Neall
today, Friday; in his Office Saturday
and at Prosperity Monday and Tues
day. 4
mickey" was great and the crowds
at the opera house Tuesday exceeded
the standing capacity beyond the
limit. Couples going turned back
upon seeing the stairway packed from
the outside doorway up. So immense
was the blocking of the people many
had to be let out through the passage
under the stage, it being impossible at
times to get through the mass at the
front. Mabel Normand was at her
best. And when Mabel comes again
the people will want to be there.
The address in the interest of the
anti-saloon league was not delivered
last Tuesday night, as Rev. NJ. c.
Morris could not come to Newberry
on account of sickness at his home in
Columbia.
.sThe Invisible Hand" every Satur-
day is drawing the largest crowds
ever assembling at the opera house.
People pack there like sardines. Part
of the time those who are in can't
get out and those who are out can't
get in. Between the two opposing
crowds there is some kind of time.
See to it, people, that the boil
weevil conference at the court house
On Cne ZZIO 1llSldut lS iSSAy olISio

No doubt a capacity house will
greet "The Million dollar Doll III
Paris Monday. There has been the
biggest sort of advancement in New
berry's education since before the be-
ginning of the world war.
Those who saw The Shepherd of
the Hills,' and it was a tremendous
crowd for Newberry, will doubtless
be earger to see "The Eyes of the
World" as both stories are from the
faultless pen of Harold Bell Wright.
The picture will be shown here on
the 29th and 30th of this month. 1t
is the first of the authors books to
be picturized.
