The editor of The Herald and News
desires to mingle his sorrow with
those who mourn the death Of "Bllr'
Sondley. He was a true and loyal
friend, genial and kind hearted, brave
and gentle as all brave men are. He
was always willing and ready to lend
q helping hand to any one needing his
help. ln fact he demonstrated in his
life the great command that it is bet
ter to serve and minister than to be
ministered unto.
The burial will be this morning the
furcral procession leaving the union
station on the arrival on the Southern
tram from Columbia. Interment will
be at the cemetery at the old Bethel
Presbyterian church or where the
church once stood near the home of
Mr.. Thomas w. Keitt. The service
viii be in charge of the Masons of
Ncwberry of which Mr.. Sondley was
a prominent member.

The Herald and News is very glad
to see the interest taken in the organ
ization of real building and loan
association Only recently we had an
editorial urging some one to take hold
of the matter of the organization of
a real building and loan association
and making of it such an organization
that would help and encourage the
building and the owning Of homes.
That was the key note Of the organ
ization that it is proposed to have,
and we are glad that it is, and we feel
that it will accomplish much for New
berry, and it is gratifying to see the
interest and the enthusiasm with
which the men of Newberry have
gone into it, and there is no reason
why it should not be a good thing for
the people who want to borrow as
well as the people who want good
paying investment, and be help to
the community as community spirit
builder.
We should have had such an insti-
tuition here several years ago, but be-
cause we did not is no reason for any
further delay. A commission to open
books of subscription will be obtained

Dear Friends:
I am grateful for your generous

assure you all that shall always hold
you in fond memory for thus re-

have good feeling for the city of
Newberry.
I shall send you copies of my

booklets printed, rather. At present.
l am not able to compose much, and
printing comes so high of late that
I could not have much of it done. l

see made is to bring the evening
train from Greenville down this way
little sooner in the evening so that we
might get the Greenwood Index-Jour-
nal the same day it is printed. We
get the Columbia Record but it gives
US day before yesterdays news and
not much of that. In fact any oc
currence in Columbia today. it mat
ters not how much the people are in
terested in hearing, may be expected
to appear in the Record day after
tomorrow. that is the edition that is
sent to Newberry, and the paper has
a large circulation simply because it
is the only afternoon paper available.
The publishers seem to be very in
different to their patrons and readers
in this section, as to the news value
of the paper. Bringing up Father
and the Doings of the Dutfs and Mutt
and JEFF are about the most interest
ing features of the edition that comes
to Newbefrv. Of course. we take it
for granted that the Columbia edition
is much better paper, but the one
that is sent to Newbe,mry is bum to
come from city Of the proportions
of Columbia in q field that the paper
has all to itself.
We have not heard of anything be-
ing done about these proposed
changes of schedules in Newberry:
though some of the citizens may have
taken them up with the other towns
and may be cooperating with them IN
order to have something done. II
not, we will be willing to lend what
ever help We may be able TO render
to get an afternoon train to Atlanta
and a morning train back via this
route, carrying of course sleeper
both ways SO that one may leave New
berry late in the afternoon and reach
Atlanta next morning without change
of cars and make the same sort of
trip back.

be operated between Columbia and
Atlanta via Anderson and the Blue
Ridge railroad, and that one Of them
shall be an evening train from Colum-
bia and the other an evening train
from Atlanta the one going to At
lanta passing Newbery say about 9
o'clock p. m. and the other arriving
from Atlanta about or a. m. And
both carrying Pullman cars so that
YOU could board the train here after
supper, take sleeper and wake up in
Atlanta in time for breakfast and
leave Atlanta in the evening after
the days work had been finished and
you had your supper and arrive IN
Newberry in time for breakfast, thus
being able to spend an entire day in
Atlanta and not lose but the one day
from your business. That would be
{; great schedule for those desiring to
90 to Atlanta on business, and
especially the mule buyers who now
have TO take three days and have no
more time in Atlanta and much great
er Inconvenience in making the trip.
But besides this it would give US
another daily train to the capital of
the state and enable those so desiring
to spend an entire day in Columbia
and have more time than now by the
c. y. 4 l.. and get back the same
night Of course we shall be very
glad to see the new trains put on.
And it will give better opportunity
for our friends at Chappells to come
to NewberTy to do their shopping ard
attend to business. Let US have the
trains by all means.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF
SCHEDULE.

The Greenwood Index-Journal car
ries an article in recent issue IN
regard to a certain change in the
schedule on the Southern between
between Anderson and Columbia,
with letter from the secretary of
the chamber of commerce of Ander-
son to Passenger Agent W. <. Nc
Gee.
We confess that we have not been
able to read the papers very closely,
and that we do not exactly under
stand just what change it is propos-
ed to be made in the schedule, and
can not understand from the article.
It seems to be such change as will
run trains to give an opportunity to
visit Columbia and return the same
afternoon, and to make good con-
nection through Anderson for Allan
ia. And that the proposed change
meets the approval of Greenwood and
Newberry. Such change. as would
give us an afternoon train from Co.
lumbia, or rather an earlier train
from the up-country to Columbia,
would be acceptable. And a good
connection by Anderson for Atlanta
would also be acceptable, provided it
CARED Pullman so that passengers
from this section could get sleeper
at Newberry and reach Atlanta the
next morning, leaving Newberry late
in the afternoon, and then be able to
have sleeper back from Atlanta so
as to reach Newberry early in the
morning, would be a fine schedule and
very acceptable to the people of this
section who have business in Atlanta.
And there are good many people
who go very regularly from Newberry
and along this side to Atlanta, but
they either 60 via Clinton, and that
is long wait at Clinton, or an all day
trip on a local if'they take the day
train, or they go via Greenwood and
change cars, and that is long wait
and takes all day to make the trip.
A schedule that would give a night
train to Atlanta and a night train
back without change of cars, and car
rying a sleeper would get the travel
from this section and be great con-
venienee and time saver.
Another change we wSuld like to

If all the drivers Of cars would
observe the provisions of the traffic
ordinance and the statute law OF the
state and drive TO the right there
would be less danger of accidents.
Especially should this regulation be
observed in turning the corners of the
narrow streets in Newberry. If one
car is driving to the right and an
other to the left and both going in op-
posite directions and both turning the
same corner, collision is unavoidable
unless The cars are travelling slow
enough TO stop before coming to-
gether.

WILLIAM SONDLEY
DIES IN RICHLAND

The State, 23th.
VIM. H. Sondley, one of the best
Known men in RichIaad county, pass
ed away yesterday morning at his
brothers home about ~ miles from
Columbia. He is survived by one Sis
ter, Miss Carrie Sondley, and two
brothers, C. T. ondley of Dallas,
Texas, and A. NJ. Sondley Of Rich
land county. The funeral services
will be held tomorrow at the Pres
byterian church about 10 miles from
Newberrt.
Many heafts were saddened in Co.
lumbia yesterday morning when the
news of the death Of "Diil' Sondley
was brought to The city. For many
years he was connected with the state
penitentiary, and was captain of the
guard when he left the institution. He
also held positions with the old dis
pensary and Richland county in by
gone days. "Bill'' Sondley was man
whom men admired. He was brave,
knightly and courageous. Always
kind and thoughtful he led quiet and
simple life. He never turned a deaf
ear to anyone in need Of assistance
and he spoke i'll Of no man. He was a
devoted fraternal order man and

Newberry should have a chamber
of commerce and we hope the efforts
made at the meeting on Wednesday
night may bear fruit In order to
have such an organization that will be
effective arrangement must be made
for paid secretary who can give his
entire time to the work and one who
understands and is fitted for that
kind of work, otherwise it is useless
to undertake an organization. But
the money should be easily raised for
this purpose.

taught in the lodge rooms.

he rendered faithful service. Repre-

upon arrival of the train from Colum

The above was written and in type
before the meeting on Wednesday
evening at which Mayor Blease stat
ed that Mr.. FAINT, secretary of the
chamber of commerce of Anderson,
had been in Newberry and had con-
ferred with him in the matter of the
schedules, in the absence of any
chamber Of commerce, and that he
endeavored to give him the informa-
tion he desired. That was the first
that we knew Of any one having been
in Newberry Of course a lot Of
people come and go to and from
without our knowledge, and
this is simply in explanation of state
ments above.
We learn from Mr.. Blease that the
plan is not to secure change IN

the spinner showed him were not fine enough for him.

then here are some others that will suit YOU
sAnd she pointed to bare spot The man declared he
could not them.
THE spinner replied The fact that you can not see
them proves that they very fine; can't see them
myself.
The fool was rejoiced, and ordered of the
same thread, and paid down the money for it..

They scorn and call for silk. The moderate priced
article is rejected with suspicion because 1t doesn't cost
