Coot.
The unfortunate killing Of one little
boy by another, as related in the
county papers Friday, shows the un-
wisdom of allowing children to have
firearms. 1t is incomprehensible to
us that so many parents will let their
boys of tender age own these dam
gerous weapons. Too late now for
the fathers and mothers of the FAM
lilies just bereaved to indulge in vain
regrets, but it is time for others to
change their habits in this respect.
i We are wondering how it will be
when several hundred more automo-
biles are in the county and they all
come "to town" on Saturday.
Autos and people crowded the streets
last Saturday. At one time we saw
a blockade at the postoffice corner;
cars from the four directions blocked
the corners of College and Friend
; streets, three deep, and had to stop
! and wait for some to move on and
break the congestion.
Let everybody make a careful
reading of the ordinance to prevent
accidents, ETC., printed in today's
papers. The law Of making people
go to the right is a good one. This
thing of butting against persons in
crowd like ants is provoking. Keep
to the right. Make them keep to the
right. Fall in line. The ordinance
is full of good points, another OF
which is that relating to the stoppage
of all vehicles at the sound Of the
fire alarm. Let's have a city right.
Just now the country condemns
labor in unspasing terms for its
exactions, but the evidence is over
whelming that the cause of the ex-
pensive cost of living is not labor
wholly, but profits. 1t is true that
labor demands all it can get that it
may live, but big business to a great
extent, at any rate, keeps on getting
and the helpless consumer pays. At
! ter the labor is paid profits mount
to unheard Of heights.-From a re-
cent speech by Senator Capper of
Kansas.
| There will be a basketball game
between the University of South
; Carolina and Newberry college on
Tuesday night at 1880 o'clock, at the
college gym. Admission rs and so
cents. And at the same place on
Friday night at o'clock there will
be game between Newberry and the
Georgia tech. Admission strictly so
cents. This wilt be the last game Of
the season. For that reason and be-
cause it is rare occasion that brings
the Georgia tech to play in small
community, no doubt large crowd
will witness the game.
If you read, in last Fridays Herald
and News, the spring millinery and
women's ready-to-wear ad Of Haiti
wanger & Carpenter you saw men,
ton of their new milliner, Miss
Margaret Murry, the designer and
trimmer in charge Of the millinery
department Of that store. The half
has not been told, like it was in the
time Of the queen Of Sheba. Miss
Murry has held some Of the most
prominent positions in the line of her
profession in large cities Of the
United States, in all Of which she has
been most successful, and Newberry
should esteem it a great privilege to
have her in this city.
Here is an incident Of the late in
fuenza epidemic: A young teacher Of
a school in this county went to her
home in another county at the closing
Of her school by quarantine. She
knew that her mother, sister and
sister-in-law were down with that
sickness, and she wanted to relieve
the we'll ones who were tired from
nursing. They were all so glad she
was coming. Her brother met her
at the train and showed his JOY and
when she reached the house she was
told how good it was that she could
be there, to "come right in the
kitchen and get busy" But alas,
she had to tell them that she, too,
had the "hu." And she Immediately
took to her bed. She didn't know
that she was sick until then, but the
germs were with her as she Travelled
on the train.
The office of the Newberry Eiec-
trio company, Goggans & Cameron,
in Boyce street, next door to the
store of E. NJ. Evans from the Nat
Gist corner, is now ready for business,
the rooms having been overhauled and
remodeled for that purpose. Messrs.
