BUY COAL NOW
MAY BE HARD TO GET

In renewing his subscription to The
Herald and News, Mr.. F. N. Gaines,
who is now in Herrin. Ill.,, as superin-
tendent of the Leah Coal company,
says he wants the paper to reach him
regularly as it keeps him posted about
his friends. He advises people to buy
coal now and not wait until winter,
as the mines will have trouble with
strikes and car shortage greater than
last year. 1t is his opinion that the
miners viii not stand for cut, and
something will have to be done before
the winter is over. His letter con-
cludes as follows: ''They get one
twenty-five for every ton they load
and lot of them make as much as
twenty dollars a day, so you see what
mine owners are up against. l would
love to see Newberry people have
coal this year."

SWEET POTATO HOUSE
SEEMS TO BE CERTAIN

N nv rumors have been heard in
regard to a proposed sweet potato
curing house, and the fact that it now
seems to BE- a certainty should be re-
ceived with much satisfaction to ev-
cry one, in view of the fact that such
an enterprise is badly needed at the
present time, and will be even more
so in the course of another year.
The establishment of this enter
prise is being promoted by our cham
Der of commerce. The house is now
under construction and the plans for
a stock company are rapidly nearing
completion. 1t is stated that this
house, when completed will have
capacity of four thousand bushels OF
Grated potatoes, and that it will be
modern and up-to-date in every par
ticular. 1t has also been stated that
enough potatoes are in sight to assure
the success from the very beginning.
The cost of the construction OF TINS
house will amount to about S2,750.
The committee in charge of solicit
ing subscription for stock report very
good success, although there remains
some stock to be sold. 1t rs planned
as soon as the amount has been sub
scribed to call a meeting of the sub
scribers, at which time the organlza-
ton will be perfected and permanent
officers elected. The committee urges
that every business man, as we'll as
every farmer, give this matter serious
consideration, as it will be to the mu-
tual benefit of both, and that when
the committee approaches them for
the purpose of selling them some OF
the stock that they greet them with
a hearty response.

Steam or hot. water heat for resi-
dence heating upveo~sSout six years
ago or the timesstfat the Ideal Ar
cola was perfected, was considered a
luxury for the rich man. The Ameri-
can Radiator company knowing this
set out to remedy it and the Ideal
Arcola was the outcome. One of the
first and most costly part OF the heat
ing plant was the cellar. This has
been eliminated in the Ideal Arcola,
for it will go on the first floor in any
room that the owner should choose,
so long as there is flue handy, and
it is very artistic in design and is not
unsightly even in the living room or
parlor.
The cost of operation is so small
that if you now burn as much as
two fires you would not know the
difference in your coal bill. The cost
of the plan Installed ready for use is
Just about the cost that stoive for
each room would be.
A. F. Bush, plumbing and heating
contractor, is distributor for the Ideal
Arcola for this city and would be
glad to give you an estimate on in
stalling a plant.

Following in His Footsteps

While Mr.. C.. F. Tempieton was
manager of the Pepsi-Cola Bottling
plant in Newberry e was so affable IN
his associations with the business
public that the merchants and others
found it pleasure to deal with hlm.
He was agreeable and accommodating
to trade and friendly in his inter-
course with, the people, and his busl-
ness was a success. When the time
came for his retirement many heard
of the announcement with regret. He
was succeeded by Mr.. R. P. Allison,
as our readers are aware, notice OF
the change having been made at the
time. But as it was bare mention
of fact, and Mr.. Allison having been
here for some little time now, and
having stood "the acid test," so to
speak, it is beftting that few words
be spoken in his behalf. When a man
is said to be walking in the footsteps
of a good predecessor it is saying
much to his credit. We find Mr.. Al
Eson filling the position with the same
spirit of good will for all. The people
have found him to be pleasant in hls
dealings with them, and he is making
friends as he mingles among them
throughout the community, going qui-
etly about his business and proving
himself, by his sociability, as we'll as
ability, to be worthy of their regard
and confidence.

SEVERE BEATING
FOR NEGRO WOMAN

The State.
Greenwood, Aug. 30.-Two negro
women charged with making a vi
cious assault on two white women
and a white man who came to their
rescue, were taken from the city jail
last night and severely beaten by a
mob who overpowered the police. Al
ter whipping the negroes the mob
brought them back to the Jail and
placed them in the cells from which
thew had been taken, all being done
in less than an hour. The negroes
are Jessie and Julia Valentine, for
merly Greenwood residents, said to
have returned to Greenwood on Wis
it.
The assault with which they are
charged took place on the streets, a
short distance from the business sec
ton yesterday afternoon. 1t is al
legged that the two white women at
tackled were pushed from the streets,
and one of them was slapped IN the
face by the negroes, and beaten over
the head with her own umbrella. A
white man, a grocer from a nearby
store, who attempted to rescue them,
was also beaten.
Approximately $50 men composed
the mob which took the negroes from
the jail. They placed the prisoners
in an automobile and took them to a
vacant farm house about three miles
from the city. When they had whip
ped them, they brought the women
back and after placing them m JAIL
quickly dispersed without further dis
order.

WILL INVESTIGATE
ROAD CONDITIONS

The State, 28th.
State highway department officials
are preparing to make an economical
survey of South Carolina to see the
exact condition of all roads in the
state system, what is needed to put
the roads in good condition, how
much money will be necessary and
numerous other facts that will be OF
use to the department, the counties
and the general assembly.
The investigation will include ev-
cry county in the state and will take
in all the roads and bridges now on
the system and in addition to this will
get information as to new roads and
bridges needed. An accurate knowl-
edge of the exact condition Of the
state system is wanted and the sur
vev is to be made to get this infor-
nation.
Several aims are in view by the
department, among these being to as
certain the length of the various high
ways included in the different coun-
ties, to find ont the traffic intensity
or relative volume of traffic on the
different ROADS, to see what improve
ments are needed to accommodate
this traffic and to get rough approx
innate estimate of the cos. necessary
to make the improvements needed.
From the survey It is hoped to pre-
pare a map giving the exact condl-
tions of the roads ard other valuable
data on highways. This map would
be of considerable value to the vari-
Gus counties, the legislature and to
the highway department.

MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO

An announcement has been made
public by our chamber of commerce
that they will launch move for the
establishment of a creamery provided
that Investigations being made by
them reveal the fact that it will be
a paying proposition in this immedi-
ate section.
During the past few months, many
farmers of the county, as we'll as ma
nv business men, have displayed a
great interest in a creamery, and IN
order to give them an opportunity to
understand the proposition more
thoroughly, our chamber of commerce
has arranged to have Mr. c. Schmolke,
creamery expert of Clemson college,
come to Newberry on Saturday to ex-
plain the creamery business in detail.
Mr.. Schmolke viii make his address
Saturday morning at 1870 O'Clock IN
the new court house, and it is hoped
bv our chamber of commerce that
every one interested in a creamery
will be present at this meeting, for
after hearing Mr.. Schmolke, those IN
terested will be in. better position
to decide whether or not it will be
wise to proceed further.
Don't forget the day, place and
hour-Saturday morning in the new
court house at 1890 o'clock.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES.

"
How many delegates are you ex-
pecting at the convention is ques-
ton that is frequently asked these
days. The maximum number is 500.
NV estimate is that there Will be
about 500 attending the convention.
How can l help entertain them?'
Now that is the question that inter-
ests US most, and l shall proceed to
tell you.
One thing is certain, whether the
number of delegates who attend the
convention be 100 or 500 we must
find homes for them. 1t is unthlnk-
able that single delegate should lind
himself, homeless when he lands IN
Newberry. Here, then is where you
can help. If the committees have
missed you in the canvas for homes,
and you can help give shelter to The
delegates, please phone A. J. Bowers,
Jr., chairman of the homes commit
tee.
Then, again, you can help by CO.
operating with the decorations COM
mittee. This committee has set as its
goal every home in Newberry dis
playing the "Stars and Stripes" and
every automobile flying ..Old glory"
during the convention. The mer-
chants and business houses are re-
ouested to decorate their windows.
These things may seem like small mat
ters to you, but if the requests are
carried out they will make an impress
sion upon the delegates.
Again, we will want cars at the
new court house 80 Wednesday at
ternoon to take the delegates to Will
lowbrook park, and again at 400 p.
m., to carry them to college park. On
Thursday afternoon at $3.50 we will
want cars at Legion hall to take them
to the ball game at: College park. At
6 p. m. the program calls for an au-
tomobile ride, winding up at East
View park at watermelon cutting
and band concert. w. S. Matthews
is chairman of the automobile COM
mittee. If this committee has not
waited upon you and you can help us
with a car please get in touch with
him.
We hope it will not become nee
essary to canvas for funds to finance
the convention. We believe that it
will not be necessary if our present
plans come up to expectation. One
of the methods we have adopted to
raise funds for this purpose is by
putting on a home talent show. Re-
hearsals have been going on for two
weeks and everything is now ready
for the curtain to rise. You can help
us entertain the convention and at the
same time have an evening of enjoy
ment and pleasure by patronizlng our
show, "Cinderella in Flowerland'"
which will be presented at the opera
house Friday, Sept. End, matinee and
night. Matinee at $3.50, admission
soc, S5c, 25c. Night performance,
8 80; admission $1.00, 75c, soc. No
reserved seats for matinee. Get
seats reserved for night show at Gsl-
