The Day Of Atonement.

Monday was one OF the most solemn
Jewish faSt-days on their calendar,
and known as the day of Atonement.
Ten days proceeding this are known
as penitential days. The day of Atone
ment is referred 10 as follows
And it shall be unto you statute
forever; i'll the seventh month, you
shall affiict your souls and do no man.
Ter of work, the denizen as we'll as the
stranger that soiourueth among You,
for that day You shall be atoncd for to
purify you from all your sins before
the Lord" This day shall be among
the first OF your Sabbaths and you shall
attlict your souls-this is an evcrlast-
ing statute"
This atonement however does not
include all of mans sins, such as those
between man and man. Forgiveness
must be solicited and also must be
given, it being the duty OF all to free
ly forgive rs hope is had of forgive
ness. This day was regularly observed
i'll this community by the Jewish fam
lilies.

We return thanks to the town coun-
Gil for removing the old rotten cover
ing to the drain in front Of our Office
and replacing new one with q sub
stantial box underground.
Mr.. Geo. Walker, clerking at Foot's,
fell off a box in the store Tuesday
morning and sprained his ankle, which
will confine him to his room for about
two weeks. d, ~. .-. -
Hon. B. o. Duncan while in Charles
ton the other day was interviewed by
a reporter for the Ners and Courier, to
whom he gave an interesting review Of
the political situation. He declares
for Cleveland.
1t is pleasant thing to be known
we'll in the community. This reflection
is based on the fact that while we saw
everybody dunning everybody on the
1st, we, the Junior, did not get single
dun. Yes, it is so pleasant to be SC
well known in the community. We
arc known-not to have any money
for we certainly owe some. Thanks
friends. s

Former and Present Newberrians.

The Governor has appointed F. w.
FAINT, Esq, of Spartanburg, Trial

Col. Jno. r. Leavell has the distinc-
ton OF being the first Moderator in the
Reedy River Association who was not
a preacher, and that he makes 4 capi-

A Beautiful Celebration.

Sunday night last the Centenary
celebration of the Juvenile and Wo-
mans Missionary Societies was held in
the Methodist Church. The audience
was large, every part of the building
being taken up. The chancel was oc-
cupied by beautiful young girls, twelve
in number, with variously colored ban
nerS, bearing the names of the nations
who have come under the effulgent
light of the gospel, the front seats were
filled with the young disciples who
have enlisted in the work OF missions,
while the adult members used the
space to the right. The bright lights,
the banners. and the sparkling eyes OF
the boys and girls, made up q scene we'll
worth observing. The Rev. j. a. Cliff
ton, at whose right and left sat theRev's
Broaddus and McClintock, announc-
ed the programme, which consisted
of an appropriate song by the children,
reading of the Missionary Psalm and a
Missionary Hymn, followed by the
Lords Prayer in concert.
The prettiest feature was the appeals
made by the little girls bearing the
banners the appeals and answers, the
latter by Miss Sallie Wright, were rem
dered in a clear and effective manner.
'Watchmen and Traveller" by VIM.
McFall and Jesse Clifton, and ''the
Gypsy Boy, by Master Robt Norman
were we'll done. Master Eugene Gren-
eker's calling of the roll was very ef1i-
GENTLY and pleasantly done, and each
boy and girl as his or her name was
called quickly and gracefully respond
ing with a scripture verse and the con-
tribution OF a nickle. The importance
of this part of the programme kept
the little fellows alive and awake to
to the work of holding part to two
things-their nickels and their verses,
and they came out bravely, dropping
neither the one or the other until they
stepped up and delivered the verse and
dropped their nickles in the basket.
This was followed by reading of re-
ports and the answering Of Centenary
Questions. An appropriate address by
Rev. Broaddus and Prayer by Rev.
McClintock closed the interesting ser
vices.
The President of the society, Ms
Herbert, and the lady membert are
entitled to much praise for the hand
some manner in which the programme
was arranged and carried out.

trict.
Postmaster Taft of Charleston and
his friends bolted from the convention.
From the long and interesting accounts
in the Charleston and Columbia dali
lies it was noisy, wrangling, howl
ing, disgusting and disgraceful mob OF
ring-tailed and striped belligerents, un-
worthy the name o. even a radical con-
ventioa. 1t is stated that Taft and
his friends will bring the matter OF an
other State Convention up at an early
date.
The Register says: Not man whose
name is upon the Republican State
ticket will be found willing or able to
enter the contest. Corbin will decline
as soon as he gets the chance; Stol-
brand holds Federal Office; Melton
Is United States District Attorney !;
Macoy don't want to be on a ticket
put up simply to be knocked down !;
the State Committee are opposed to a
STATE ticket, and about the last of it
will be its nomination. The whole
ticket was prepared by Deas, and he
did it simply to facilitate business.
There was faction Of obstruction
lists" who wanted State ticket, and
he gave them one, to appease their
wrath, Just as children are eoaxed
witlE candy.

d. H. Mafett Heard From Again.

A Washington letter to the Peru,
Indiana, Republican, and an editorial
in that paper upon the letter, furnish
some rich, rare and racy news OF q
character well known in Newberry.
The letter furnishes | text for the said
editorial. After II marking that the
Republican party, among other things,
had placed the sword Of power. in the
negro's hand and told him to use it,
it adds that the party made a mistake
sin too hasty reconstruction Of the
late rebel States. Troops should haYe
been maintained in the South until the
people were wi ling to obey the law;
but since they have been withdrawn
and the States turned over to the civil
authorities there is no alternative left
to the colored voter but to become as
familiar with the use of firearms as
the ruffians who domineer over him
and give them as good as they send"
Such is the inc, ndiary language OF the
Republican, whose words proclaim its
editor to be either negro within
whose breast rankles an undying ha-
tired for the Southern white man, or a
cowardly Yankee outlaw who has
never smelt powder. The letter says !:
"Walking out to-day in quest OF politi-
cal news I met D. H. Maff'ett, the ag-
gressive and active young Republican
from South Carolina" Maffett pays his
respects to the eight-box system and
politics in the South generally, in the
stereotyped expressions of his party.
But they are old and tame and have
no weight. The most interesting por-
ton of the letter is that which displays
the congressional bee in Maffett's bon
| net. Says the reporter: Il learn from
some OF your friends here that you are
prominently spoken of as the probable
nominee for Congress from the 3rd
South Carolina District. Will you
make the fight if nominated?" Maj
fett answers that if he can receive the
assurances that the Congressional COM
| mittee will furnish the candidate OF
his district any aid, and the next con-
grcss (which he says will be Republi-
CAM will stand by the nominee who
| ever he may be, he twill make the
| fight from the centre to the circumfer-
ence of the district" Maffett adds
that "should consider it an honor
| to receive nomination in such dis
| trict and certainly it would be glo-
rious pleasure TO represent that de-
voted and loyal Republican conStitu-
ency, and such will be the result if the
Republicans will do their duty" The
Republican editor reduces the interview
! to focus when he says. 'The ques-
ton is simply this : Are Republicans
willing to see their party 60 under ra-
ther than sit in congress and associate
/ with few negro members from the
South? DO they prefer Wade Hamp-
ton and Hamburg Butler to such men
as Hon. D. H. Maffett, John r. Lynch,
Samuel Lee and other educated col
ored men, who would be q credit to
any legislative body in the land -

Three families, whose places adioin
each other-Messrs. Jacob Kibler, D.

folks, but also all the negroes, large
and small, on the three places. These
families live near the river, which ac-
counts for the sickness. TIE health
of the village proper is good.
The other night, when everything
was still and the folks in certain
house had all retired, the maternal
head of the family happened TO awake
when she saw sight that made the
''cold chills run over her." She awoke
the old man and together they inyesti-
gated the matter. The moon shone
brightly DER the room and its beams
penetrated an open closet. 1t wasn't
very goou time for burglars, but the
very night for ghosts. Beneath the
subdued rays of fair Luna and in the
folds of the closet fair, fairy form
glided noiselessly. The old man and
his better half were frightened until
they discovered that the ''obiect" was
one of their daughters. You know
the moon sometimes gives one ghost
like appearance.

The Newberry Cotton Factory will
Soon be in Motion.

The Newberry Cotton Factory Will
Soon be in Motion.
Since the day the big wheel Of New
berry'S Cotton Factory was made to
show that it could 60 round, and was
not simply erected as an ornament,
we-the Senior-have not been per-
mitted by reason of bad health to visit
the scene of the operation which af-
forded such qualification then. We
have regretted this more than once, for
we like to keep mp with Newberry'S
advancements, and all of her works
of internal improvement, and too
because the Factory is no small thing;
on the contrary it is very large, and
important thing. Aside from the pro-
fits which the stockholders reasonably
hope to realize from its working, our
thoughts turn to the hundreds OF i'll
dustrious men and women and chill
dren who can find no occupation, no
work for their willing hands to do.
Already are many OF this class given 4
place in the picture, and have been
found something to do, for which they
receive honest and fair wages; and by
the middle or close of November hun
| dreds will he earning their bread by
the sweat of their brow, and with
wages in their pockets, will feel the
| Importance and the independence
which money imparts. This money
! too, will not only give them the means
Of getting what they want, but will
find its way into the drawers OF the
merchant. Every class of society will
be benefited. We too expect to rea-
lize Of this floating expenditure.
Many OF the operatives will feel the
necessity of having the news as given
to them by the papers OF the town !;
we expect therefore to realize ir this.
Our visit on this occasion was pleas
ant one, and much information was
had from superintendent Holbrook,
who politely showed us over the build
ing. Our readers being already ap-
prised of the salient points of interest
it is hardly necessary for us to repeat
what we have heard. 1t but remains
now to fix and adjust the machines,
and get them in redness for the day on
which the looms, carding machines,
| spinnerS and shooters, slashes, and
pickels will be set to work. The water
and fire apparatus are OF the COM
pletest kind. We were pleased to be
shown how complete are the appli-
ances in this respect. We trust that
no delay may be experiencedin starting
the Newberry Cotton Factory, and
that all of our home labor who seek
employment may find it. We thank
Superintendent Holbrook for his po-
| l;teness in showing us around.
