again, the good people of Newberry
can help. The convention finance
committee is planning to put on a
local talent show, "Cinderella in
Flowerland," at the opera house Sep
tember 2. Some Of you can help US
with your talents by taking part in
the show. Others can help by giving
US your patronage. We believe that
we can count on you.
The decorations committee an
nounces that the colors for the deco
rations will be red, white, and blue.
This committee has appointed sub
committees to encourage the citizens
of Newberry to display the "Stars
and Stripes" in their homes and on
their automobiles, and the merchants
and business men to decorate their
windows. Three prizes (blue, red,
and white ribbons) will be awarded
to the three best decorated windows.
These awards will be made the morn
ing of the 7th. Here, again you
can help by cooperating with this
committee. Let us show the delegates
by our decorations that we have been
expecting the convention, that it has
not come upon US qnawares.
The automobile committee will
need cars to meet the delegates at
the station, get them to and from
Willowbrook park, to the baseball
games, and for the automobile ride
the afternoon of the 7th. This will
offer opportunity for owners of cars
to give a helping hand.
We want to make this the best con-
vention ever held in Newberry. With
your help we can do it. We are
counting on you.
A meeting of the convention COM
mittees is called for Tuesday after
noon, August %, at $50 O'Clock, in
the Legion hall. A full attendance Of
the committees is desired. The chair
men of the committees will make re-
ports of work done.

THE, RESPONSE TO CALL
HAS BEEN GRATIFYING

The response to the call, send Red
Cross sewing to the chairman that
had distributed it has been very
gratifying. There are some garments
not vet Sent in however. The women
are urged to hasten with this work
so all boxes may be packed and ship
ped before the county chairman, Miss
Fannie Mclaughlin, leaves home the
last week in August.
The women of Newberry who have
Red Cross layettes are especially urg-
ed to send them in by next Wednes-
day so they can be packed Thursday
or Friday.
So great is the demand for cloth
ing in Europe that even the liberal
supply made by the women of Ameri-
ca can not furnish enough garments
for this winter. Just this week the
Red Cross has sent out call for
warm, durable, second hand clothing
to be shipped. Plans for collecting
such articles will be perfected IN
but home makers may
bear in mind this call when unpack-
ing the winter clothing.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES.

The third annual convention of the
South Carolina department Of the
American Legion will be held in our
city September and 8. Many of the
good people of New5erry have asked
in what way they can assist in enter
tanning the convention.
We are expecting about 500 dee
gates. Over 100 names have already
been sent in. Our hotels can accom-
modate about 100 of them. Here
then lies your oportunity. We shall
have to find homes for the 200 dele
gates, sponsors and maids If honor
who can not be taken care of in the
hotels.
The homes committee has appoint
ed sub committees in each Waro 70
canvas for homes. These committees
will begin the canvas within the next
few days. We bespeak for them a
kind and courteous reception. We
need not remind you that the boys
for whom we are asking you to open
up your homes are the sane boys,
who, just a few years ago, donned
the uniform of the soldier, the sailor,
or the marine; whose record Is still
fresh in our memories, and IS such
that we are all proud to claim as
our heritage. We believe thai you
will enioy having them II your
homes.
We are hoping to make the dele
gates stay in Newberry SO pleasant
that they will want to come back
again. 1t is going to take some cash
to put over the program that we
have planned. The members of Post
No. "a are proud of the fact that dur,
ing the short history of the post we
hae not had to call nthe public dl,
rectly for funds to carry on the work
of the post. 1t is our hope that we
can take care of the convention with.

A Former Newberry Boy in This.


The Vancouver Sun of August 5,
under such catching headlines as
."Vancouver Greets U. S. Sea Force"
"Battleships Steamed Into English
Bay at Sunset Yesterday" "Greatest
Fighting Craft Of American Fleet is
With Squadron" carries an interest
ing story. The write-up describes the
scene beautifully. GAS the shadows
fell and the great ships lighted up,
the bay became scene of unsurpass-
ed beauty. Fully $4,000 people lined
the shores and housetops, gazing up
on the flashing searchlights and hello

of the literary gem. ,-:&a =, 80.

RESIGNS AS MANAGER OF
SOUTHERN COTTON OIL CO.
Mr.. L. w. Floyd Resigns After Hav-
ing Served the Company Since
Its Organization.

After serving as manager Of the
Newberry Oil Mill, which is now own
ed and operated by the Southern Cot
ton Oil company, since the organlza-
, ton of the enterprise in 1891, Mr..
! L. w. Floyd recently rendered his
resignation, effective August Is. He
is succeeded as manager by Mr..
Harry w. Dominick, formerly assist
ant manager, whose connection with
the company dates back 21 years.
Mr.. Floyd is one of the pioneers in
| the cotton seed oil industry in this
state, being one of the promoters and
organizers of the Newberry Oil mill
80 years ago. At the time of organl-
cation, Mr.. Floyd was elected sec
retary, treasurer and general mana
ger, the late J. Malcolm Johnstone
being president. Later, Mr.. Floyd
was elected president to succeed Mr..
Johnstone, resigned, coupling the du-
ties of this Office with those of Sec
retary, treasurer and general mana
ger. In 1901, the Newberry Cotton
seed Oil Mill and Fertilizer company
was purchased by the Southern Cot
ton Oil company, Mr.. Floyd being
; retained as local manager. Since
that date he has served continuously
as the head of the local plant of the
Southern Cotton Oil company.
Mr.. Floyd has made great sue
cess of the oil mill business in New
berry since he assisted in the promo
ton and building of the first plant
of this kind in Newberry county 30
wears ago. His voluntary retirement
from this field of industry removes
one of the most active and best in
formed oil mill men in the state from
this business.
1t is a grand thing for a man to so
conduct himself in the life OF a COM
munity as to merit the ''well done,
good and faithful" from the people
when, after long years of service ne
retires to the quieter walks and re-
leases himself from the activities OF
business affairs in which he has. had
much to do in the growth and ad-
ancement of his city and county.
Such a man is L. w. Floyd, and his
voluntary retirement from his busl-
ness will be source of regret to this
community and surrounding country
land it is with sadness we mention
the fact.
But while It It's is true, it is also true
that the "silver lining to the cloud"
it brought to pass is the promotion OF
Mr.. Harry W. Dominick. to Mr..
Floyd's place. His we'll merited pro-
motion shows that the same conf
dence reposed in the cold" head now
reposes in the new-the term old; be-
ing used in point Of service. MIR.
Dominick is a worthy successor to
the Office vacated by Mr.. Floyd. He
has been connected with the company
for some years and the fact that he
has been given full charge is suffi-
cient evidence of the faith of his
business associates in his loyalty and
ability, faith in which the entire
public will share. Regard to Mr..
Floyd. Congratulations to Mr.. Dom
mick.

POSSE SEARCHING FOR
= FOR FLEEING MAN
Officers Seek Negro Who Killed Po-
liceman in Columbia-May Be
Surrounded.

The State, 18th.
Early this morning, after "a hours
-of ff...uitless searching, the posse OF
approximately 25O men, which, has
. been surrounding two swamps near
.Blythewood since early yerterday,
was still on the trail of the unknown
negro, who is supposed to have shot
and killed Policeman Henry Frank
Brown near the corner of First and
Park streets, Camp Torrance, shortly
after night yesterday morning. A
negro was trailed to the spot where
he entered the first and somewhat
larger swamp yesterday morning and
was last reported seen at noon yes
terday by a woman as he crossed
field, she said, to enter the second
swamp.
Officers heading the searching
party this morning are undecided as
to where the man is hiding, but 1t
is believed that he is still secreted
somewhere in the thick underbrush
that covers the two swamps. Work
ing on this theory the posse now has
the swamps surrounded with armed
picket sposted at intervals along all
roads, skirting the swamps, and
along the Southern railway track,
which divides the two swamps. Inc
negro, in crossing the railroad track
and entering the second swamp,
stopped to pick watermelon from
the field as he passed. This is sup
posed to be the only food he has had
! for the day and it is fought by MEM
t .bers of te posse that hunger will i'm
allv force him to leave his water
soaked hiding place and make a
lbreak for some house or for the rail-
road. All roads are also being pa
trolled by automobiles, carrying
members of the posse, while the
woods in the two sWamps and near
Pontiac, toward which the negro was
apparently heading, when last seen'
are being searched and carefully
guarded in the hope that the negro
will be sighted should he make a
I,break to leave the swamp.
