I On Monday morning, in the recora| er's court, Xeil Xance was tried and ; found .guilty of storing whiskey for j unlawful purposes. He was given $50 j or 30 days. He was trying to raise the | amount of the fine, but last accounts J was that he had not succeeded. J. T. Mayes & Co. have a fine stand . of oats growing in their plot in the j store window. The oats are fine and if wo had ^ 'fpw hnrtrirpd anrfts like that and a good harvester we would I not be so careful about all those 1915 1 boys paying that dollar right away. ! Mr. John D. Dominick, convicted at ! the last term of the court for forgery and who has been on the chain gang, has been transferred to the state penitentiary. Supervisor Sample had information that he aided Dock Knowles to escape and for that reason the transfer was made. There is a state law against the barbed wire fence along side a public road unless there is a guard rail on the top. That law would scarely anply to cities, as we notice along side of some of the sidewalks enclosing yards and gardens that such a wire is used and no guard rail on top. It1 ic a dangerous proposition. Remember that if you want The Hera!j and Xews now is the time to get it a whole year for only a dollar. After the first of March this offer is positively withdrawn. This is good for old subscribers and whether in arrears or in advance. No subscription taken for less than one year or more than, two years at this rate. The same price to all. Mr. Charlie Ruff returned to Newberry Thursday with his bride". On Wednesday evening Mr. Ruff and Miss Mary Stevenson of Winnsboro were happily married at the Presbyterian paiicnage in Winnsboro by the Rev. G. G. Mayes. At present taey are at the home of Mr. Ruff's father in the country, but will later locate in the the congratulations and best wishes of city. The happy couple are receiving tViAir manv friends This divorce and scholarship and free tuition agitation is nerve racking. To have the suspense all over with and be done, give as the medicine and let us swallow it and quit looking at it and making faces over it. There ain't any more freedom anyway, so gi. e us the compulsory cradle roll, first 2 years of our slave-ridden lives, then compulsory kindergarten 4 years, tiien compulsory schcol attendance 10 years, then compulsory college education (free tuition) 4 years, then com pu-lsory military service 5 years, then compulsory marriage laws (good-bye free speech), and then, at death, if the Presbyterians are right about predestination, compulsory roasting in the fire works, or compulsory residence in glory.

Mayes' drug store, nearby, with the i pistol, a 38 calibre Swith & Wesson special, in his hand. An examination of the wounded man revealed the fact that he was seriously hurt and preparations were made at once to carry him to a hospital in j Columbia for an operation. It was at I the hospital that Mr. Langford was i found to be desperately wounded and j chances for his recovery slight. A representative of The Herald and ! News called on Mr. Burton at the Newberry jail Sunday afternoon and asked if he had any statement to make. He replied that he acted in self-defense and had retained counsel. Other than this he had nothing to say just at this time. Mr. Burton is 43 years of age and has a family. Mr. Langford also has a family and is about 27 years of age. Mr. Langford was attended by Drs. Gilder and Kibler. Dr. Gilder accompanied him to the hospital. Reports irom Columbia Monday atternoon were to the effect that Mr. Langford was slightly better, and J though in a serious condition, there was hope of his recovery. His brothers, J. J. and W. S. Langford, are in Columbia. MUCH INTEREST MANIFEST j j In Laymen's Missionary MovementEnthusiastic Meeting Sunday? Special Newberry Train. I The Laymen's missionary movement is taking shape in Newberry. A jvery j enthusiastic meeting was held in the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on j Sunday afternoon presided over by IM;r. .John M Kinard, chairman of tnis counI ty, and inspiring and encouraging adi dresses were made by several promii nent laymen. The meeting was well j i attended and much interest manifest. | Tf- ic oynprtpd that at Iftast 300 laymen i ' will attend the state convention in CoI lumbia from Newberry county. I Dr. G. Y. Hunter has agreed to take up the movement in the town of Prosperity and have a canvass of the community made to interest the men in this great movement. . If as many as 200 wUl go from NewI berry the Southern railway will oper-j I ate a special Newberry train leaving i I Newberry about 7:30 a. m. and return-j ins: the same night after the evening program in Columbia. A central committee has been appointed which will appoint sub-coi%mittees to make a whirlwind campaign to ascertain how many will go from Newberry. This central committee is composed of John H. Wicker. J. B. j Hunter, W. A. Alcswam, 1. n. nuin i and C. D. Weeks. This committee will j appoint the sub-committees, who will go to work at once to interest the town and county in this work. Chairman Kiijard said he would like for any laymen in the county to communicate with any member of this committee at cnce, so that it may be known how many will attend the convention in Columbia. The round trip fare on the railroad is only $1.55 and provision is being made to have the delegates cared for in Columbia at a.resonable price. At the meeting Sunday afternoon Mr. W. P. H'ouseal came from Columbia and made an address and speeches were made by J. B. Hunter, E. C. Jones, J. C. Swindler. J. C. Kinard, J. F. Epting and W. H. Hunt. If you can attend the Columbia meeting on February 6 to 9 let the committee know at once, so that the arrangements may be made ior tne special Newberry train. Greenwood and Greenville are to have special trains. The latch-string of misery is always out. The wages of sin are always promptly paid. Bluff seldom wins a victory over a formidable foe. Good manners sometimes put a veneer over bad morals. KILLED HIS WIFE Tom Byrd Accused by Coroner's Jury With flip Killimr?\o Kva Wit 0 ? ? nessts?Tom in Jail.

'4 _ ANOTHER NATIVE BORN SERVED AS CHIEF OF POLICE (The addition of the name of the late j W. H. Harris to Xewberrians to the 'manner born" who have filled the office of chief of police in the town still; needs mention of another Newberrian j in the same connection. \ The rPf>nrH nf tnwn will sTrnw that John Irving Houseal, as chief of police, performed one of the braves: . ieeds in preserving the peace which , has ever been witnssed in the town, j Reference to Le newspapers of the town of November, 1874, will give the details of the riot which occurred on: circus day on west Main street, at the ! corner of McKibben street. The storehouse on the northwest corner of these two streets was then occupied by vvebD, Jones & ranter, rne writer nas, forgoUen the occupants of the first floor of the building next to the corner. The second floor, however, was the office of the Progressive Age. The chief of police soon found his force unable to quell the riot, and without consulting any one he went :o the commander of ihe federal garrison, then stationed in the Nance house, between O'Xeall and Boundary streets, and requested aid of the troops in quelling the riot. The riot was quelled, but noi: until one policeman. Henry Bluford, a negro Democrat, had been killed and one citizen, J. Pinckney Hardy, badly injured by an atteck upon him by the mob. Mr. Hardy was rescued by Capt. W. H. Webb, who dragged him into the left doorway, which then lead into the cellar. The fusillade of firearms was directed from the southeast side of th.^ street and the occupants of the Age office especially had some hair-breadth escapes, as we 1 as the crowd on the side. wains on me same siae 01 ixie sireeu John I. Houseal was given deserved praise for his promptness in summoning th'e federal troops to the rescue. Mr. Houseal removed from Newberry he following spring to Vicksburg, Miss, and after locating at Meridian, removed to Memphis, where he died in November, 190$.

M. DORROH ARRESTS >Y. 0. STEVENSON i Some time ago requisition papers ! were issued by Governor Manning for I tiie arrest and return of W. 0. Steven sen from Xe.ada upon the warrant' sworn cut by his wife charging deser-j ticn and non-support. The papers were i held up and finally Governor Manning recalled them or declined to have them executed. Sheriff Blease had Stevenson arrested, but of course when the! i . I papers were refused by Governor Manj ning -Stevenson was re'eased. Gov; ernor Manning and Sheriff Blease have had some very interesting correspondence in regard to the case. The case took a new turn last week when Stevenson wired his wife, who ; lives at Little Mountain, to meet him at Greenwood. Sheriff Blease was put , wise and he sent Deputy Dorroh along with Mrs. Stevenson, or pt least on the same train. Stevenson met his wife at Mountville and before the arrival of the train at Greenwood Dorroh had j nlnrpri Stevenson under arrest. il.his was on Friday afternoon and j'Stevenson was brought back to Newberry by the officer. He gave bond in the sum of $600 for his appearance at the next term of the court. It is supposed that the purpose Stevj enson had in wiring his wife to meet j him was to see if some compromise | and settlement could not be agreed upon. That, it .-seems, would be tae best thing for all parties concerned. Brandies For Supreme Court Bench. Louise D. Bandeis of Boston was ! nominated by President Wilson (on Friday for the Place on the supreme court bench made vacant by the death of Associate Justice Lamar. '..:ie senate received the nomination! with unconcealed surprise. Some sen- j ator announced to the colleagues theyj were opposed to the nomination, but! declined to be quoted to that effect. Mr. Brandeis -has been devoting practically all his time of late to the Zionist movement in this country which has for its object the repatriation of the Jews to a nation of. t'neir own in Palentine. If confirmed he wolud be the first Jew ;o sit on the supreme court bench. It's a waste of the other fellow's ,time when you talk foolish.
