Housebreaking thieves are still do
ing business in Newberry. The lat
est act was the breaking into of the
residence of Mr.. Sims G. Brown on
| Wednesday night and stealing side
of home-cured meat. Mr.. Brown was
not at home at the hour of the theft
and the robber got away with It,.
These acts of housebreakers have fol-
lowed in quick succession. Only a
few nights before Mr.. w. j. SWltten-
berg's house was entered, Mrs. w. U.
Schenck heard a noise and phoned
for the police, Mr.. Schenck being IN
Spartanburg at the time. The ponce
responded to the call. 1t was discov-
cred that the would-be thief had cut
the rear wire door. The houses have
all been entered in that way. This
last robbery following so soon after
| the attempt at the residence OF Mrs.
McR. Holmes makes it alarming. We
hope the next thief will be wounded.

The chickens in Harrington street

A reader of The Herald and News
saws the "wimmen folks at his house
always want to get hold of the paper
first, but that one night he grabbed
up copy of it and went upstairs, got
in bed and began to read in peace.
Read everything in it until he got to
where it said the legislature would
meet on Tuesday. He had read near
ly the whole paper and thought it had
made mistake or meant that the
legislature would adjourn then. At
that point he was not long in finding
out that he had been reading the is
