COTTON HOLDING
CORP. BUYS WAREHOUSE

The Newberry Cotton Holding
corporation has bought from the Far
mers Warehouse the property of the
warehouse on SCOTS creek facing
Nance and running through to Cald-
we'll street containg two acres owned
by this company together with the
warehouse and other buildings there
on for the price of $4,000, the
trade being completed on Saturday.
The capacity Of the Farmers Ware
house is around 5000 bales. 1t is
proposed by the new owners to I'M
prove the property and to increase
the warehouse capacity to at least
$1,000 bales.
This is a, fine property for the pur-
pose for which it is being used and
the price is very cheap. Col. Purcell
one of the owners of the Farmers
Warehouse said he wanted to sell out
so that he could devote his entire
time to his large mercantile business
and other interests.
Mr.. Henry Long the president OF
the Newberry Cotton Holding cor
poration is a thorough going business
man and has been very successful and
that means that the new owners will
serve the farmers and others having
cotton to warehouse in a business
like and safe manner.

CAPITAL NEWS1AND GOSSIP
(By John K. Aull.)

Of progress, she will vote4 the bond
issue.
AS it passed the senate, the appro-
priation bill will carry something like
thirteen mills levy-possibly some
less-straight. To this must be added
the constitutional three mills levy for
schools, and the two mills for roads.
Ali in all, the bill will carry some
thing like eighteen mills. This is a
fearful increase over the bills of re-
cent years. At last, however, the peo-
pie are the arbiters of the entire mat
ter, and as soon as the measure can
be checked over, a summary of it will
be given in The Herald and News, and
the people themselves can judge as to
the wisdom of the appropriations
which have been made.
It had been thought that the legis~
1ature would get through last night,
but the conference committee and the
engrossing department were over
worked, and when the hour of mid
night drew near, it was simply case
of the OK in the ditch, and the legis-
lative OK simply has to be pulled out.
Anyway, as in years past, the legisla-
ture went ahead grinding away on
Sunday morning, with a scattering
few in attendance.
A general review Of the entire ses-
sion will be included in this cores
pondence within the next several
days. The main features, however,
are the good roads bill and the stu
pendous appropriation measure.

"The Love Kiss" Al W: Martins
big musical comedy production, will
be seen at the opera house, Monday,
March IS.
Replete with beautiful melodies,
this production will take local theatre
goers by storm. The music casts
about the story the romance that
lovers the world over delight in. Add
to this musical setting, scenery paint
ed in the softest blue of noonlit sky
and the orange and purples of exotic
lands, costumes that are rich and
colorful but never obtrusive and the
reason is plain why 'The Love Kiss"
succeeds in pleasing both the ear and
the eye. The story and the lyrics are
by that postmaster of musical
comedy, wit and humor, Philip
Bartholomew.

come Of the two districts was shown
on the blackboard. An estimate was
made Of what was necessary to run
a modern three.teachers school an
other year. Every one present
favored operating under the equaliz-
ing law which guarantees term Of
seven months.
: It was suggested by some Of tina:
patrons that q high school be estab-
lished. It was learned thaeSthe two
districts have over 2e high school:
pupils now. The law provides that
where 25 pupils can be enrolled
above the 7th grade and not iesae
thar q smills For, running expenses,
the state will furnish $s75.oo to pay
the high, school assistant. The high
sched must; run 100 days. :.
"A committee was appointed by Rev.
Harman, the chairman, to. meet a
committee from Excelsior next
Wednesday and discuss the location.
A meeting will be held at Excel
sior next Friday at 8 p. m. The
Swilton and Excelsior patrons wish q
joint meeting in order to discuss and
fully understand the great opportu-
nifty Of having one of the best rural
graded schools in the county. The
idea of centralized high school viii

Swearingen's Office will be invited.
