LIFE SAVING STAMPS !. HELP FAMINE VICTIMS
Each Mercy" Sticker Purchased for Three Gents Provides Food
 for One Day for a Chinese.

Sales of "Lfe Saving Stamps" by the American Committee for China Famine Fund for the benefit of China famine victims have reached total of thousands of dollars at the end of the first month, and already the money is actually saving lives in China. Or. ders during the first month aggregated more than 100000 stamps, which will mean-at the rate of cents foi each stamp-$3O0,O 900 for the Chine SC when the complete returns have been made. The stamps are intended to SC. cure a multitude of small contribu. tions from persons who will not have an opportunity to contribute in other ways. The campaign for China is the greatest single philanthropic effort now before the American people.
 Every state in the Union Is now CO operating in the life saving stamp sales, and special committees are at | work in more than 2,000 cities through. out the country. The circulation of the stamps is being effected by sales organizations composed of officers ot the Woman's Foreign Missionary So.
 
 zations, schools, churches, Boy and Girl Scout Camps, Y. M. and Y. w Christian Associations, fraternal lodges, hotel associations, boards o1 education and other volunteers inter. ested in the movement to extend 8 helping hand to sister republic In dis. tress.
 House to house canvassing for the sale of the stamps-which are intended to be placed on the backs of letters and \ packages-has proved the most effec- N tive method in the smaller communi- ties. In the big cities the stamps have been sold to business houses, which are using them on their outgoing mail and packages. A nominal quota of ten stamps for every adult has been set by the committee, but in many centers this already has been passed. If un- able to obtain stamps through local committee write China Famine Fund Committee, Bible House, New York.

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and weak kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Canaan case: .......
 Mrs. P. c. Carey, Boy APT, says: "An attack of the "fiu" weakened and badly disordered my kidneys, l suffered continually with backache and the least little work weakened my back so that I had to sit down during the. day. Sweeping, dusting or hopping came hard as every time I bent, I had sharp, cutting pains in it. Specks would appear before my eyes and blur my sight. My kidneys acted too freely. Through some ones advice, I began using Deans Kidney Pills and few boxes regu- lated the action of my kidneys. l am getting to be an old woman now and although I am able to take care ot my work about the house, l need a good kidney medicine to keep my Kidneys in good condition. l depend on Doan's Kidney Pills which l get at Dempsey's Pharmacy" ...
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills--the same that Mrs. Carey had. Foster-Milburr Co.,, Mfrs, Buffafflo, N. Y.--adc.

we had thirty districts that had one
teacher, or if two, with enrolment less
than forty so as to comply with the
law for aid as a rural graded school,
and therefore could only get the term
extension of $1OO. And it may be
that one or two other schools with
two teachers may not be able to Sc
cure forty children by the 18th of
December, and will therefore fail to
comply with the rural graded school

NEW SERIES MAXWELL
A REAL SENSATION
Reveals Beauty and Goodness Here
tofore Unknown to Its
Class

The expectation that the new or
ganization which assumed control OF
the Maxwell interests year ago
would produce a motor car worthy OF
the resources and strength of the new
company, is fully realized in the new
series of the good Maxwell now on
exhibition.
In both the closed and open models
of this Maxwell is seen distinct ad-
vance in motor car design and con-
istruction.
1t is a finer car than preceding
Maxwells, retaining and improving
upon the good mechanical points
which gave the good Maxwell such a
name for serviceability, low costs and
good performance.
Its beauty of line sets it of in any
company, and the fittings and details
of construction are in strict keeping
with it's remarkable beauty.
The radiator has been moved slightly
forward to give greater body length
and is larger, thus raising the hood
and giving an appearance of strength
and massiveness at the front end.
Drum type head lamps, nickel trim,
med, of the type used on cars of the
costliest range, give an added dash OF
beauty and good style.
Disc steel wheels, demountable at
the hub and rim, are standard equip
ment on all models, although wooo
wheels are optional. Straight side
cord tires, 81 by 4 inches, are stan
dard equipment and so is Alemite
chassis fabrication.
Riding comfort as been given par
ticular attention. The back cushions
of the seats were especially designed
on new principle; the springs are
longer, and the car is lower without
sacrifice of head room.
The open cars are upholstered II

The touring car and roadster are
fitted with newly designed curtains
that open with the doors and which
attach to the body by means of spec
ial fasteners which operate easily.
A modern feature Of the open mod,
els is the plate glass window in the
rear, and in the touring car there is
special compartment in the rear of
the front seat for storing the side
curtains.
In all models careful consideration
has been given to the placing of the
steering wheel, pedals and control le-
vers, so that the car is extremely easy
to handle and driving comfort is as
sured.
The sedan and coupe will undoubt-
edly take their place among the coun,
try's finer cars produced, without re-
gard to price.
The windows are mounted in rubber
strips to insure against rattle, and a
small button on three of the interior
door handles operates the lock from
the inside, while the right front door
is locked from the outside with key
Small drum type lamps, duplicates
in design of the head lights, are
mounted on the cowl and they, with

The plan of Gen. Foch to preven

The plan of Gen. Foch to prevent
speeding is a good one, though it may
cause some innocent occupants of the
car to suffer, but they should not be
caught riding with such speed fiends
as drive to certain accident sooner or
later. Some time ago we passed
through a small town over on the
road from Columbia to Augusta that
had adopted about the same plan as
Gen. Foch by making big cement
crossings above road bed some sew
eral inches, and if the speed hend
would strike one Of these he might
not be overturned, but he certainly
would be given fine jolt and some
of the occupants would hit the ceiling.
About the only way to stop speeding
is to make it penal offense, and then
enforce the law, to have any car
geared beyond a certain speed. For
so long as cars are driven, it matters
not how many speed cops cover the
roads, there are going to be speeders.
Every paper contains accounts of
fearful accidents, and most of them
when analyzed may be traced to
speeding, and yet there is no cessa-
ton in the matter Of speeding. Even
the arrest by the cops and the pay
ment of the fines imposed has no de-
terrent effect. It is a sort of intox-
ication just like the intoxication from
LIQUOR. If it would endanger only
the life of the speeder it would not
be so bad, but even the careful driver
is in constant danger. Then for man
ners of the road, there, is scarcely
any such thing. Every fellow seems
to think that he has the right of way
and every other thing must get out OF
his way when he toots his horn, and
sometimes he does not even toot the
horn.

visit, or a visit to the sshool so much
as it was tc have conference with
the trustees of the New Hope-Zion
school. But l had an opportunity

cepted the. invitation Of my old friend

to pass along the road one day good
many years ago after attending a
barebuce given near the home of Mr..
B. NJ. Suber when he lived down on

opportunity to get in this commun-
ity. I invited my friend, Clerk of
Court Wheeler, to go along to point
out the road and Mrs. Wheeler and
j. D., Jr., also went along. We drove
around by Pomaria and the road out
from Pomaria by Hopes and to Mr..
Crooks place I had never been over.
The fact is, / find that every now and
again some road in Newberry that
had not travelled, but by the time this
next school year is out there will not
be many roads with which l am not
familiar.

] noticed coming back that the road
Just below Prosperity at the under
pass crossing of the Southern has
been closed, and now you come
around by the grade crossing and JOIN
the Jolly Street road at where it once
entered the Columbia, road, but that
entrance has been changed and now
there are two right angle turns or
curves and if the motor driver should
make them at the same speed he has
been making to have accidents at the
underpass he will surely land in the
big ditch, and the landing will be
about tie same as driving up against
the railroad benches. But then may
be the road will be kept in such bad
condition that there will have to be
a slow down before arriving at these
right angle curves. Somehow we do
not believe that this other road should
be closed up, and there should be
some way of the railroad and the
highway commission getting together.

that sharp curve, but that it would
not be right to force the railroads to
make the crossing until the road was
put in better shape, or something like
that. So it seems that the roadroads
have the commission on their side at
the present stage of the game. Some
thing Should be done because the clos
ing of the road opens grade cross

There was another accident at the
underpass at the railroad just below
Prosperity a few days ago. Several
seriously hurt and car smashed to
pieces. 1t is bad place and should
have attention of those whose duty
it is to see that the underpass is made
less dangerous, but it is fast driving
and reckless driving that causes the
accidents. In this case it is stated
that the car was not running over 25
miles the hour either. To prove, we
suppose, that it was not exceeding the
speed limit. Well, it is really not
necessary to run even 25 miles the
hour, though that is not too fast on
good road, but if you should under
take to make a short turn like that,
and there was no railroad underpass
within a hundred miles you would
likely have a serious accident. You
can hardly turn an angle of as de-
grees running even rs miles the hour
without turning your car over, and
that would very probably mean a Sc
rious accident, We noticed over in
Anderson the other day when car
turned iver that two of the occupants
Of the car were killed. The trouble
at this underpass is that the cars ap-
proach it at too great rate of speed,
and even 25 miles the hour is too fast
to undertake to make a turn at right
angles, as that turn is.
There is an underpass at the rail
road bridge at Dyson on the Green
wood road at right angles, and it has
been there ever since we have travel
ed the road, and it is right at the ap-
proach to the bridge over the river,
and we have never heard of an acci-
dent at this place and it is much worse
to pass under than the underpass be-
slow Prosperity. Cars go under it
every day and night too. The reason
there is no accident the cars approach
while under complete control and at
q rate of. speed even below rs miles
the hour.
Now the railroad should be made to
fix this underpass below Prosperity,
but until it is done there is no neces-
sity for so many accidents. There is
a warning at each approach to the
underpass, but like warnings to slow
down at the approach of school, and
at other places the drivers of cars
pay no heed to the warning and the
accidents occur.

And 1 would like to say just here
that these people down this side need
some roads. The lower fill, I believe
that is the way to designate the one
nearer to Hopes, is in bad shape and
it gives me the "creeps" to drive ov-
er it for | have feeling that | might
skid out into the water, and when we
got over I had a feeling of relief. The
old Columbia road running along the
river and crossing Enoree river at
Henderson's ferry is one of the old
roads from the mountains of North
Carolina, and so far as it goes from
the upper fill to where you turn off to
come in by Mt. Pleasant is in very
good condition, and was among the
best pieces of road in the county for
about four miles, and is now in good
condition. We should have some road
running out this direction from New
berry so as to connect with Fairfield
county in our system of county to
county highways, and while l have no
personal interest in the matter, and
may be should not express an opinion,
but it seems to me that what we
sometimes call the poor house road
is the one that should be built down
to the river. 1t is on ridge most
of the way and is almost direct line
from Newberry to the river at what
seems to be the best crossing or the
most available for the building of a
bridge. But the location of the road
will depend on what the engineers
say is the best place to locate the
bridge. Agd there is no doubt that
there should be bridge across the
Broad somewhere down this side. 1t
would be a great thing FOR Newberry
county as we'll as for Fairfield. But
this is afeld from what / started out
to write.

We had pleasant visit to the home

of everything good to eat, but he says
he as no nancy, but with plenty of
ham and chicken and country flour
and a number of bales of cotton

and about sixty children. 1t is the
purpose to build new house some
time in the near future, and for the
present the schools are taught in the
old building formerly used as the Ii
on school. Some of the patrons live
a long way and when the two districts
consolidated the understanding was
that new building nearer in the cen
ter of the two districts would be
built. 1t may be when we get that
survey of the county we may be able
to readiust all the districts down this
side so as to make it better for all the
children and be able to get more ed
ucation for our dollars. The school
now is getting along very well, but

at the Broad River school. The Broad
River school is taught this year by

we have entirely too many one teach
er schools in Newberry, and while we
spend good lot of money we could
get more education for our dollars if
we could get our districts better ar
ranged and some of the one teacher
schools abolished. And it must come
