The Excelsior Anniversary.

The Excelsior Literary Society
scored another success last Friday
evening when it celebrated its quar;o-
centennial anniversary in the Opera
House. AS is usual on similar occa-
sions, the audience was large.
An Introductory address, on Elo-
quenee, was delivered by the Presi-
dent, j. n. Henry.
J. I. Goodman, essayist, gave the
audience some interesting thoughts
on the subject, Compensation.
The question, ''Have the ..Crusades
been beneficial to Europe?" was de-
bated by E. Olin Hentz and Monroe j.
Epting. The debate was animated
and interesting-we may even say en-
tertaining. The audience not only
sat silent during the debate, but Us
tesaed.
Michael Angelo'was the subject Of
an Grafton by T. E, Qreher. The SUBJ
iect is out OF the beaten track, and the
Grafton was refreshing.
The speakers are all young, but, IN
spite of their ineXperience in public
speaking, they did themselves and their
society much credit.

Immediately and for all time" !"
Newspaper disputes afford amuse-
ment to the readers, just as a dog fight
on the street would call forth the bur
rahs of a crowd, but awake no more
sympathy than if the editors were
inhabitants of the planet Jupiter.
1t don't pay to quarrel, unless one
can do so and not get angry.-Sun-
ter Watchmdn and S0uthron.
After careful reading Of the quar-
rel, we have concluded that neither
of the gentlemen have mistreated
their customers. We thought from
the beginning that each of the cdi-
tors were gentlemen, and now we
know it, since each have certified
and proved the rectitude ofthe con-
duct of the other. 1t is a good time
for an armistice-if not for peace.

The Floral Exhibition.

Mr.. E. Roche, the Secretary of the
Agricultural Society of Charleston,
makes his pleasant annual announce
ment of the Floral Exhibition, which
will be held in that charming old City,
commencing Tuesday, 10Th and clos
ing FRIDAY the 18th of April. This ex-
hibition is one of the most delightful
of CharleSton's entertainments and to
Mr.. Roche do the people of the inte-
rior feel largely indebted in rendering
it so universally popular. In no city
Of the union is it possible to make such
display of flowers as will there be
seen on this occasion and we hail its
announcement with unqualified graft
fication, and extend to the polite and
attentive Secretary our thanks for the
opportunity of enjoying so rich feast
as his programme offers. The Pro-
gramme itself comes to us OH an ele-
giant and beautiful Floral card. The
rail roads too offer a reduction in rates
of fare, so that none may be debarred
from attending it.

Another Rescue from Death.

In 1881, while sewing Oh a machine,
my wife was taken with a severe pain
in her side. which was soon followed
by hemorrhages from her lungs, Sc
we're cough, fever, and she could neither
eat or sleep, and in q few weeks she
was reduced to a living skeleton. Her
stomach refused TO retain any food
and the physician thought one OF her
lungs was entirely gone. At final
consultation Of two physicians her
case was pronounced hopeless. Itricd
Brewers Lung Restorer by advice of
one of the physicians and she began
to improve after the third dose. She
continued the medicine and is now in
excellent health, and is better than she
has been in several years. I believe
Brewers Lung Restorer saved her
life. BENZ. F. HERNDON,

WAR.

We noticed last week that the
journalistic war between our Laur-
ensville friends of the Herald and
Fnmer was waxing hotter, and as
we have received neither of their
papers this week we look for the
worst. The two Offices have doubt.
less engaged in apitched battle, and
we fear that editors and, typos, dev-
lis are now weltering in their gore.
It is too awful to think about.
Since the above was put in type
we have received a copy of the
Merchant & Farmer, two days be-
hind time, and see from its con-
tents that the decisive battle has
not been fou ght, but that the war
was progressing bsiskly.

MEssRs ED1ToRs.-Please pub
lish the following piece in regard to
road working, as I think that it is
time for the County Commissioners
to be notified Of The condition OF
the roads in our Township, No. 4.
The public highway known as TIE
old Bumcointe road needs attention
especially along through Liberty
Hall section; all along the Gaines
place there are 50 many gullies tha!
they cross each other. Now there
are two that will soon cross The
road, one just above Mr.. F. N
Gaines gin house and the other in
front of his dwelling, and if they
are not soon looked after the Coun-
ty will be put to great deal of ex-
pense in the way of building
bridges, or buying some land from
Mr.. F. n. Gaines for road which
he could not sell unless lie moves
his lot yard and dwelling. If he
did so he could not move it far be.
fore he would be in another gully
l do not remember ever seeing 80
many gullies in all my life, as are
on the Gaines place along the pub
lie highway. If the one in front
of Mr.. +. N. Gaines dwelling is
no: looked after very soon it will
be across the public highway; also
the one above his gin house This
shouId be looked after so that our
farmers can come to Newberry
market instead of going to Laur-
ems. Il.

Hot Supper.

The hot supper for the benefit ofthc
South Carolina room at Mt. Vernon
came off on Thursday night, as an
nounced. It was indeed a splendid
affair and the ladies did themselre
great honor in the manner of pre-
pairing the Supper, as we'll as in the
variety and excellence of the viands.
The many nice things spread out in
profuse abundance are enough to
tempt the appetite of the most obdu-
rate dyspeptic, but were served by so
fair hands and with such winsome
smiles, that it was too much to with
stand. A rustic well, in one corner
of the rom, in which hung, not eX-
actly the old oaken bucket, the iron
bound bucket, but fairy like hands,
that brought to the surface cooling
draughts, attracted much attention.
The proceeds of supper amounted to
one hundred and twenty dollars.
