PROSPERITY LETTER.

Number Of bales of cotton sold dur

The editor and readers Of The Herald
and News will please excuse us for not
writing a letter this week. We do not
feel like writing. Our house is a house
of mourning. The Angel Of Death has
visited our home, and he claimed our
loving and gentle Mamie as his own.
God has called her away to her eternal
rest. Her passage was calm and peace
fui across the rugged Jordan. The
Savior was with her and she dreaded it
not-all was calm-no struggling with
the grim monster-no dilation Of eyes
not cortortion OF muscle, but with
folded arms the voyage across was per-
fectly calm. Truly Jesus can make the
dying bed as soft as downy pillars are. !"
Mamie has left US, but we do know
that our loss is her eternal gain, and we
can say, not our will but thine, O Lord,
be done.

a Common-sense Remedy,

In the matter of curatives what you
want is something that will do its work
while you continue to do yours-areme-
dy that will give you no inconvenience
nor interfere with your business. Such
a remedy is ALCoCK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS. These plasters are purely vege-
table and absolutely harmless. They
require no change of diet, and are not
affected by wet or cold. Their action
does not interfere with labor or busi-
ness; you can toll and yet be cured
while hard at work. They are so pure
that the youngest, the eldest, the most
delicate persons of either sex can use
them with great benefit.
Beware of limitations, and do not be
deceived by Misrepresentation.
Ask for ALCoCK's, and let no eXpla-
nation or solicitation induce you to ac-
cept a substitute. 1t

Death of a Veteran Conductor.

At II o'clock last night Captain
George E. Isaacs died suddenly at his
residence, corner Of Marion and Taylor
streets. For the past three months
Capt. Isaacs had been complaining; in
fact, had been incapacitated for work,
from throat trouble, but on retiring
last evening he did not complain Of
feeling any worse than usual. Before
his wife, who was in the room with
him, was aware of the impending dis
solution, the Captain gave one long
gasp and expired.
Capt. Isaacs was the oldest railroad
man in the service of the Columbia and
Greenville Railroad; he had been con-
ductor of the road every since its Or
ganiZation. He was about 20 years Of
age, and leaves a wife and several
children, all Of whom are married.

Another Pension Veto.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The Presi-
dent has vetoed the bill pensioning
Mary K. Richards, on the ground that
the pension bureau has reexamined
her rejected case since the passage of
this bill, and decided to grant her a
pension on the ground that the former
rejection was an error.
The President commenting on this
says: "With this action Of the pension
bureau concur. I Therefore, venture,
Notwithstanding persistent misrepre-
sentations in similar cases, to disap-
prove of this bill upon the ground that
deserving beneficiary will receive, un-
der the action of the pension bureau, a
much larger sum that she would if
such action was superseded by the
amount of the proposed statute in her
behalf.n

granted. It will be d great favor to the
public, and particularly to the citizens

daily visits to Newberry. Some of them
are patrons Of the road as merchants
and others as travellers, while some are
poor bread-winners who would like to
take advantage of an occasional ride.
The distance is a mile and quarter,

NEWBERRY'S GRANITE.
The Best and the Prettiest Stone in the
State for Building Purposes-A
Fortune In 1t.

Time and again we are reminded that
the granite which abounds in New
berry County is the best and prettiest
in the State for all practical purposes.
The granite now being used in the
Government building in Augusta is
being furnished from the quarries in
this county, by Messrs. Leavell &
Speers.
The first stone on the building was
laid last Thursday. The Augusta
Chronicle has the following about the
granite Newberry is furnishing:
Foreman McMenamin says the stone
used is from Newberry, S. G., and is as
fine as any he ever used in the number
of years he has been in the business.
1T is almost too hard-at least the
stone-cutters SAYS so-and it is very
severe on their tools, dulling them in
short time" remarked a bystander,
who was watching the skillful attack
of the workmen on the roughened
edges Of the small squares which will
go into the walls.
The rock is granite, Of a darker and
bluer color than that of Stone Noun
tain. The grain is much closer. Fire
glints from the blows Of the tools con-
stantly.
4 large and valuable portion of the
granite in this county is contiguous to
the route of the Three Railroad, and
here is fortune when the railroad is
completed, the cars used to bring US
coal and Western produce can 60 back
with load of our beautiful, solid gran
ite. The Northwest and the great
Mississippi Valley have no granite de-
posts, and this class Of stone is always
in great demand. Newberry will have
the advantage over other sections Of
the State, whose systems Of railroads
lead to the North, where there is an
a0u ldance of granite, while ours leads
to the great Northwest, where there is
no granite.
Now is the time to 60 to work, so
that the granite will be ready for the
West when the road is completed.
Let a company be formed with from
$4,000 to S50,000 capital to get out the
granite.
