The company which owns the turn
pike across the mountain through Hancock
proposes to sell the route to the town, and
a town meeting has been called for the
purpose of considering the proposition.
The roads are execrablc, and the Hancock
people are prepared to concede little,
rather than to let them remain in their
present condition

Can We Have 4 Telegraph -?

We answer the query by saying e,n-
phaticallv, we can, and should have by
all means The first great requisite in
this very important matter is, that a
move be made in the right direction,
that some Of our prominent business men
take the initiative, and that a meeting be
called in the Court house. The public
mind has to some extent become enlist,
ed in favor ofsrch an undertaking, feel
ing certain that the Increased growth Of
cur town, not only in population, bat in
commercial importance demand that a
hne of telegraphic communication be es-
tablshed, and as speedily as possible.
Newberry, we are proud to say, ranks
second to no town this side of Charleston
in business point Of view, Columbia
not excepted, and geographically its,situ-
alton makes it the centre spot of impor-
tance in the State. With the &. & c. R. r.
on one hand, and which road is now in
prosperous and happy condition, and the
Laurens road on the other, also in good
condition, a district abounding in re-
sources, and one of the first for cotton in
toe State, with enterprising merchants,
and public spirited citizens, Why should
she lag behind in the race. A telegraph
will place New berry where she should
be, on the topmost round of the ladder,
of prosperity, and We feel confident that
tie present agitation on the subject will
lead to the successful carrying out Of
project so eminently needful to her fu-
ture t prosperity. We suggest that our
merchants consult stogether during the
present week and fix upon day for
public meeting, to be announced IN the
next issue Of this paper.

Mcbride the King Of Pain, for time,
ruled triumphantIy, and departed, leav-
ing feeling remembrance of his Won
dcrrul achievements in physics and po-
lite pa,lor accomplishments. All these
have had their day. But new light
has sprung up in our midst, or came in
on the cars. No grand flourish of trum-
pets announced his coming, no adver-
tisemcnt appeared in the columns Of the
Herald, his praises filled no lips, but
like man, satisfied in himself, and in
his ability to conquer, he came. 1t
ralned the day he came, no matter, he
bided at the hotel quietly, in his tight
pants and close fitting coat, until it

the outer wall, or rather from the side
of dry goods. box, which proclaimed
the advent Of another KiHg-Dr. King,
the cuie-all. Every malady under the
sun would be made to fly under his
magic influence. On the top of another
box, he took his stand, in this portion
Of Dixie's land, opened his mouth and
spakc, spake fuently, volubly, irresisti-
bly,, in commentator of his virtues, and
thosc of his medicine. Crowds stood
around, and drank in his eloquence.
All the ailins negroes in the -Keounty
gathered around to be rubbed and-we
were going to say gulled, but wont say
it. The cures were marvellous, and the
sales of his magic ointment, which re-
sembled 1--WE were just about saying a
common article of sweet-oil and tur-
pentine) goose grease were incredible.
All day it lasted. We are happy 10 say
that DR.. King made good thing of it,
not only for himself, but for the public,
in that, by the latter, he: relieved the
darkies of their last dollar, which will
force them now to 60 to work, which
they were not inclined on the other
hand to do.

INTERESTING LETTER.-We invite the
readers attention to we'll written and very
interesting letter on first page from the cor
respondent Of the Charleston Daily News,
"Bird's Eye" who passed through our town
''on the wing" For so rapid survey of
our town and district, his. data is generally
correct, and his sentences varied, well>woven
and complimentary. He gives Newberry a
good position in the commercial picture
fixes but few if any dark shadows, and
draws out many high>lights. His statistics
are possibly little at fault, yet his letter is
vigorous, truthful, perspicuous. To his fat
te.ing notice of our humble selves we shall
strive to be worthy. Hoping that the News
will ever sustain its position as the daily
newspaper of the State, and that the mer>
chants of Charleston and NewbeTy may
grow to know each other better in the near
future, in all the varied business of change
and mart, we shall now proceed to complete

Through the open easement pour;
Lighting with mellow radiance
Spacious hall and corridor:
Stitch one with dropping lashes shading
Low. a pale cheek one.
O, the deep, unfathomcd sadness,
As those eyes are raised to mine;
Something, in their tearfal beauty,
Draws my very heart to thine;
Kindling through my thoughtess being
PHYS slumbering spark divine.
Who can tell what heart emotions
To our outward light denied,
Tinted with the soupS emotions
Through thy dreaming fancy glide?
Aye. .perchnnce some memory drifting from

There is no mistake about it, Plantation
Bitters will ward off Fever and ASue and all
kindred diseases, if used in time. No fami>
ly need suffer from this distressing com.
plant if they will keep Plantation Bitters
in the house, and use il according to the di-
rections. The most important ingredient Of
this medicine is Calisaya or Peruvian Bark,
which is known to be the finest and purest
tonic in the vegetable kingdom. The ex~
tract of this Bark is the active principle Of
all the good Fever and AGue Medicines pre>
scribed by intelligent doctors. Calisaya
Bark is used extensively in the manufacture
of Plantation Bitters, as we'll as quinine, and
we dare say they owe their popularity most
ly to that fact. We can recommend them.

From this date we enforce rigidly the
cash system, with all alike. Exceptions
made during the past year, by special

pensive habit longer. Cash for joo

Remember it, bring your money in hand

GENTLEMEN WE ARE, PRouD.-An ancc-
dotels related of an aspi:ant for military

tempted to make speech from the back
of his "charger." The speech opened
with ."gentIemen am proud" and ended
there, unfortunately for him, after three
efforts to get further, which were unsuc-
cessful, from the fact, that wag stationed
on his flank, pricked the speakers horse,
at that interesting point, and the animal
making cavort prevented all further
progress. After the third attempt Of
'gentlemen I ana proud" some one in
the crowd, perhaps the same who pricked
the horse, exclaimed, what in the ID
are you proud about? This was the un-
kindest prick of all, and put an end to
the speech. Well, and what of that?
