The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1888-09-13
Ridge Road and Cannons Creek.

I take pleasure in sending my first
communication to your paper. I take
this method to inform my friends that
I will both correspond and take sub
scription to The Herald and News.
The patrons Of the Ridge Road School
house elected Miss Minnie Hartman, of
Mt. Pilgrim Section, for the next
scholastic year.
The recent continued wet spell has
injured the cott'r crop to great ex-
tent. Picking .Ih was about begun
has been indefinitely postponed. Rust
has been reported in great many
places on low sandy lands. The cotton
has also been sprouting in the bolls.
The young men of this section, have
organized Debating Society at Ridge
Road Academy. The regular time of
meeting is on Friday night Of each
week. I had the pleasure of meeting
with them not long since. They all did
remarkably well. Go ahead boys,
practice makes perfect: You may be
lawyers some day.
The Newberry Lutheran Conference
will convere at Ridge Road church on
Friday embracing the fifth Sunday of
this month";
Mr.. Robt. r. Jeffarcs, the organizer
of the Farmers Alliance, will be at
Jolly Street on Saturday next, 18th
inst, at p. m, for the purpose Of Or
ganizing and explaining the workings
Of said organization. We hope that
there will be full turnout of all the
farmers of this section.
On Saturday evening last, at p. H.,
there was an indignation meeting Of
the citizens of this section called at
Ridge Road Academg. There were
about 40 among the best citizens present
at the meeting. Mr.. l.. @. Fellers was
made chairman, and Mr. G. P. Griffin
secretary of the meeting. Mr.. T. J.
Wilson was called upon TO explain the
object Of the meeting, which he did
in Il very brief manner, by showing the
resolutions of Mr.. w. A. Hill, which
were adopted in Mr.. Blease's office on
Saturday the lst inst. Also stating that
the purpose of the meeting was to en-
dorse those resolutions. The resolu-
tons were then read by Mr.. L. L.
Moore, and were unanimously en-
dorsed by every one present. There
being no other business tine meeting
then adjourned.
Inotice in the last issue Of the New
berry Observer communication
copied from the Register, from some
Ncwberry men who was too kind to
sign his name to the article he had
written. He made a very mischevious
attack upon q part Of the delegation
which attended the Democratic County
Convention at Newberry on the 1st
inst. He first had reference to a part
Of the delegation which assembled in
Blcase's office in caucus. He says, "who
made known their purpose after the
assembling Of the convention" was
present at this meeting and shall ever
be present at such meetings as long as
convenience will ford the opportunity. |
To show the gentleman was talking a
little too fast and did not know what |
he was talking about, I will refer him
to the proceedings of said meeting pub
lished in full in the last issue of all the
county papers, and if he or any other
man can say that there was anything
else offered in this meeting except the
resolutions of Mr.. Hill, which were
adopted and published in full, let him
come out with sufficient proof and say
so, or forever hold his peace, until he
knows what he is talking about.
SOMETIMES.
