AUDITOR HALFACRE GETS
RETURNS FROM LEXINGTON

Auditor J. B. Halfacre and Super
intendent of Education C. M. Wilson
went over to Lexington on Tuesday
to take over the returns and adjust
the school matters in the new terri
tory that has come into Newberry
from Lexington. Mr.. Halfacre re-
ceived all the returns of property
that belong now to Newberry and will
enter them on the tax books of New
berry county.
The total amount of taxable prop
erty in the new territory is something
over 100000. The Lexington off,
GERS met the property owners who are
on the line on Monday at Chaplin
and adjusted the property between
the two counties and on Tuesday
turned the returns over to the New
berry official. Mr.. Halfacre says he
had the most delightful trip and that
the Lexington officials were very
courteous and that Auditor Dent
gave him the most cordial greeting,
just what he might have expected
from these good people of the old
county of Lexington.
AS to the school matters there will
be no transfer of the school moneys
until the close of the present schools
in Lexington county, and then the
school funds and other matters con-
nected with the transfer can be the
better attended to.

MRS. BLACKMON WINS CLEVELAND SIX
In POPULARITY SU BSCRIPTION CONTEST
Closed Wednesday Ev enng and Prizes Are Awarded
the Successf ul Candidates.

Mrs. Blackmon secured the most
votes in the big subscription drive
which closed on The Herald and News
last Wednesday evening and was
awarded the handsome Cleveland Six
which was promised as first prize.
Mrs. E. F. Summer secured the sec
ond largest number of votes and was
awarded the Brunswick Talking
machine, while Miss Nellie McCarey
ran third and won the Edison. The
fourth and fifth prizes went to Miss
Mildred Boinest and Miss M. T..
Shealy respectively. In all respects
the campaign just closed was a sue
cess and the only sorrow the publish
ers OF The Herald and News is that
each Of the contestants could not
have won an automobile. However,
all prizes given away during the
campaign were valuable and we be-
lieve all of the ladies were we'll paid
for their month of labor.
Although the conduct of the cam
paign was in hands other than the
Editor and Publisher of The Herald
and News we are positive that the
campaign just closed was absolutely
fair and impartial to all contestants
alike and indeed we deem it impos-
sible for any campaign to have been
conducted in any more business like
manner. The contest managers have
from the start conducted the cam
paign on a very high plane and we
are convinced that even those run
ming last in the campaign will agree
that the campaign was fair.
The publishers wish to thank each
and every contestant who has helped
make the campaign a success and al
50 wish to thank each and every sub
scriber who has entered his name on
the lists of the paper. To all our new
friends we wish to state that it shall
be our endeavor to make The Herald
and News permanent visitor in your
home and to our old friends who have
renewed their subscriptions we will
say that we shall continue to try and
keep up the standard of the paper
to the high level it attained in the
past. To our advertisers, we now
have the largest subscription list
we have ever before attained and

JOLLY STREET SCHOOL
CLOSES THIS AFTERNOON

One of the communities in which
we feel that we had little something
to do with the kindling Of the COM
munity and the school spirit IS the
Jolly Street school district and we
feel that we have right to just
pride in the fine school that is now
in that community and the great ad-
vance made in the school spirit. We
remember very we'll the little one
room school building that was here
and the first meeting we held in that
community to talk over the matter of
building a new house and the estab-
fishing of a rural graded school. This
was after Miss Lizzie Hawkins who
was then helping to arouse the
school spirit had spent week among
the patrons. We drove by Prosperity
and took DR.. G.. Y. Hunter down with
US to the meeting and both of US pre-
sented the matter to the people and
very soon after the tax>was voted and
the rural school established and then
came TIE building and now instead of
a two-teacher school they haYe three
and could use four teachers to ad-
vantage if the funds were available.
The school this session is taught
by Prof. D. L. Wedaman and the
closing exercises will be held this
Friday afternoon and the program is
novel in that the exercises are to be-
gin at 4 o'clock and a picnic dinner
at $50 is to be served and the class
exercises are to be at night.

NY dear Miss Greneker:
On behalf of the Electrical Di.
vision, Engineering Department OF
this vessel, of which your late nephew
was a member, we wish to extend to
YOU our deepest expression Of sorrow
at the death of our shipmate, familiar
to us by the name Of julie.
We realize that there are no words
which can assuage the heart pain at
such a loss to his beloved ones, but
it is the hope that time will heal and
make easy your burden of sorrow.
With deepest sympathy, remain,
Respectfully,
J. j. Delany,
Lieutenant U. S. N, Electrical
Officer for the Electrical Division.

The State.
Ridgeland, May 4.-Vannis Work
man, the nine year old SON and only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. ". H. Work
man of Pineland, died yesterday
morning in Savannah at a hospital
after an operation had been perform
ed in vain. Friday afternoon the lit
tie fellow went out in his fathers
field near his home where some
negroes were at work, and a negro
boy named Sidney Riley, Is years old,
is said to have resented a remark
made by him and, becoming enraged
got heavy pole and struck Vannis in
his side. The boy fell to the ground
and all the negroes in the field ran
away, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that he finally got home to
his mother, his father being away
from home at the time. A doctor
was hastily summoned, but it was
realized at once that he had been in
jured internally and the chaQces for
recovery were very slight.
It is said that Immediately after
the negro had delivered the blow he
threw the pole down and ran, and as
far as it is known has not been seen
since that time.
Searching parties, aided by the
sheriff of Jasper county, with his
deputies, are making a determined
search for the negro. The negro
relatives state most positively that
they have not seen him since he
struck the lad and deny any knowl-
edge of his whereabouts.
The negro boy has never before
been away from home any distance,
and it is not thought that he has gone
to any city or nearby town to hide
himself. The general belief is that
after he realized what he had done he
went into a dense swamp near Mr..
Workman's home or into the Savan-
nah river swamps, and that he is lost
therein. The officers are taking every
step to protect the negro if caught.

Miss Carrie C. Greneker,
1901 Harrington Street.,
Newberry, S. C.
My dear Miss Greneker:
Confirming my dispatch Of VI
April, 1920, to you / regret to- have
to inform you that your nephew,
Richard Greneker Julien, electrician
third class (generaD, died very sud-
denly aboard this vessel about noon,
Tuesday, April 9th, while we were
making passage from Guantanamo
Bav to North River, New York.
Just prior to your nepnew.s death
he was talking and Joking with some
of his shipmates just before going to
dinner. Shortly following this con-
versation he was noticed to straighten
up and lean back as if desiring some
support and then sink to the deck
where he was standing.
A Board of Inquest was ordered
Immediately and an autopsy held
which showed clearly that his death
was due to acute dilitation OF the
heart.
It is needless for me to say that I
sympathize with you in the loss of
your nephew, and if any further in
formation is desired or if there is any
way that can help you l will be
glad to do so.
Although your nephew had only
been in the Naval service since 81
March, 1919, when he enlisted as an
apprentice seaman, he had already
attained the rating of electrician third
class, and 1 believe that as his record
was practically clear up to the time
of his death his career in the service
can we'll be considered successful,
and if his life had been spared he
would probably have reflected great
