The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1920-11-30


it proves a man may be too clever
for men, but not too clever for life,
and that wherein life collects back
paw from a man who scoffed at liza
bility.
A bale of cotton seed was sold by
Mr.. L. B. Schumpert on Friday. After
all expenses had been paid ne had
s1.40 left. This shows it doesn't pay
to sell cotton seed now.
Listen to this from the State news
paper and think Of the contention OF
The Herald and News reporter: "One
particularly southern noise OF the
movies is the crunching of peanuts
and other nuts, and the accompany
ing rattle and cracking of the paper
bags. Otter the hulls of peanuts and
other nuts are strewn on the floor, to
be crushed beneath the feet with a
disturbing noise and feeling that
one is in baseball bleachers or at
tending wrestling bout in some OBJ
scure hail." We are glad somebody
has come to our assistance. Peanuts
are about all they eat in the Newber-
ry opera house, the "other nuts" are
the eaters. They don't eat them on
other occasions and ought to be made
to show the same respect on these
occasions.
Mr.. George C. Hipp is not going to
be behind in the improvements 60
inc on in Harrington street. He is
having his house freshly painted.
George, like some women, knows the
value of paint for beautifying. We
say "some" women advisedly. All
do not paint; they don't need to.
The difference between a house and
woman is, house is always ugly
when it needs paint: Then paint pre-
serves a house and enhances it IN
value, which can not be said OF every
woman that paints. We said "every."
In the list of successful applicants
for licenses to practice embalming in
South Carolina, passed in Columbia
last week, were the names of two
colored men of Newberry, Fred Ben
iamin Pratt and Ronald Earl Patter-
son.
The new artesian well in High
Point has been finished. 1t has a
depth of 347 feet and the water
comes to within 20 feet of the top.
The we'll will be tested in day or
two as to it's capacity.
A colored "citizeness' by the name
of Croese Robinson, convicted of
petit larceny, paid fine of SIS in
the recorders court Monday. Sounds
like Croesus.
A cotton stalk eight feet tall, with
many limbs full of bolls, was brought
to this office Saturday by DR.. G. Wer-
ber from the field of his sister, Mrs.
il. D. Bruce.
Mr.. A. j. Holt has bought the stock
of Graham Bros. merchandise in the
store at the corner Of Main and
Thompson streets.
A warehouse for Col. C. J. Purcell
is nearing completion on the lot at
the corner of Nance and Chapman
streets.
The Franklin cafe ad for the big
'possum supper Thursday night is
still running to remind you of it.
cotton 13 cents; seed 80.
A 1-2 pound boy arrived last
Saturday afternoon at l 80 at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Shealy.
A few more of those fine Tennes-
see hogs are still in possession of
Mr.. A. P. Boozer.
After a large crowd had eaten to
their full satisfaction of an abund-
ance of good things at one of the re-
cent many spreads in this city of
Newberry, it was said "there was
enough left over to feed the balance
of the people here" Of course that
was an exaggeration, but it shows
there is plenty to spare. We would
not keep anyone from enjoying life
to the fullest, but when we realize of
the endless and luXuriant profusion
of these things here it is heartrend-
ing to think of the awful condition of
people in the East.
How an innocent girl can talk to a
boy shin1mie dance and let it go at
that is still another thing we don't
understand, unless the girl is not as
innocent as we would like to believe.
In that event we could understand it..
