A Newberry Man in Lexington.

A correspondent of the Lexington
Dispatch has the following to say of a
young Newberrian now living at
Spring Hill:
The school at Spring Hill, under the
charge of Prof. ". A. Counts, opened
with bright prospects. Prof.
Counts is an excellent teacher. He is
a graduate of Newberry College and a
young man of unquestionable morals !;
just such a young man as we should
highly respect and encourage. He is
also fine disciplinarian. Those who
have children to educate would do well
to send them to this school. Prof.
Counts is high toned christian gen.
tleman, hence the proper man for the
youths of our country to initiate. He
is also very sociable and refined in his
manners, thus giving them the advan-
tage of good association often when not
in the school room.

That City Office.

About a month or six weeks ago a
good deal was said about getting city
telegraph Office separate from the rail-
road so as to give better service to the
business men Of the town. The matter
was brought before the Board of Trade
and we thought we would have had our
office in town long ago. We would be
glad if some one would tell us what
has become of this enterprise or
whether efforts looking to its accom-
phshment have been abandoned. New
berry certainly needs an Office more
convenient for business men and it
seems to us the business of the place
demands it and would warrant the
telegraph company in establishing it.
Let the matter be agitated and pressed
until the Office is secured.

Some of our farmers intended sowing
wheat this week.
Mr.. L. l. Feeg1e returned to-day
from a prospecting visit to Orange
burg.
Mrs. Kate Hipp, who has been sick
for long time, is again quite sick.
The rain and cold weather Of the last
few days remind us that winter IS upon

1t was our pleasure to attend the
State Fair last week. Notwithstand-
:ng the inclemency of the weather
there was large crowd in attendance.
',he exhibition was as good as usual.
The machinery was said to be better.

The weather has been quite cold for

The Court,

Judge J. B. Kershaw returned to
Newberry on last Monday and opened
the Sessions Court at one o'clock.
The only business before the sessions
was the sentencing of Douglas Cole
man, the negro man who was convicted
last week Of the murder of Ike BooZer.
4 motion was made for a new trial by
Messrs. Johnstone & Cromer, his attor-
neys, and refused by the Judge. Cole
man was sentenced to be hanged on II
January, 1889. The sessions court was
then adjourned and the Common Pleas
opened.
The first case for trial was Matte
4. McDuffie against Jeff Davenport
and Peter Schumpert for the recovery
of an interest in some land. This case
occupied the court until yesterday af-
ternoon, when, at the hour of going to
press, the jury had not agreed upon a
verdict.
The Court was engaged in the case
of Rhoda Watts vs.. D. H.Wheeler ct al.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1888-11-22

Some of our farmers have sown
wheat while others have decided to
take is cents for their cotton seed and
risk the chances. Farmers, this will
never do. Try, and try again for a
wheat crop.
Miss Bette Singley, the blind daugh-
ter of Mr. G, NJ. Singley, of Jolly Street,
gave a concert at the Gallman Acad-
emy Tuesday night of last week. She
was assisted by Mr.. J. =. Long.
Mr.. NJ. L. Strauss went to Orange
burg last week on business connected
with his plantation.
Though the farmers were slow to
take interest in the "Allianoe," owing
to the failure of past organizations to
satisfy requirements and carry out ooll-
cations, they are beginning to manifest
enthusiasm. The membership is in
creasing. Jolly Street Alliance is in a
prosperous condition. We hope that
the spirit of unity and fraternity, so es-
sential to the farmer, may be fully real
lied in this new order.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berrie Rikard, of No.
II, were on a visit last week to the
family of Mr.. T. L. B. Epps.
The negroes have started their hot
suppers, two or three week. Chickens
are in demand.
Socials are now on the tapis. The
young folks had one lastSaturday night
at Mr.. Abram Longs residence.
Mr.. J. C. Wicker entertained well
come guest last Sunday. He will remain
it is hoped a very long time.
Miss Minnie Hartman opened her
school at the Ridge Road Academy on
the 18th and not on the 5th, as was an
nounced, owing to a change made by
the patrons. We were informed that
Miss Helen Hodges opened the Gall
man Academy on the same day.
The Jolly Street Court of Sessions has
not been called this year. This shows
what a law abiding people we are down
here.
Mr.. E. L. Strauss is one of the most
successful young farmers ofthis section.
He took the lead in raising corn this
year. He only runs 2-horse farm, yet
he Informs me that he has hauled in
twenty-four good two horse wagon
loads. He will make about u bales of
cotton. He has ginned and sold but one
and owes no man anything. Wonder
if the time will ever come when all of
our small farmers can savas much.
The campaign is over; last week
wound up the Stale Fair; this week
will wind up Court and the "Gala,"
when the Exposition of our neighbors
across the Savannah will be the only
thing to talk about until the happy
hours of Christmas come again with
its sweet fTuition: the yule log blazing
on the hearth, the generous fare and
hearty welcome the kind forgive
ness and the tender word and loving
act, al for sweet chari> y's sake! Every
season has its sunshine and it's shadow,
its prospect and its retrospect, and its
duties 10 be done. How is it with us
now, at this suggestive period of transi-
ton ?-for "the summer is past and the
harvest is ended.n Shall it be the seed
time for a brighter harvest to come?
SOMETIMES.

dERAIDINGS FROM NO. 6.

One of our township merchants is
hunting a clerk. No male need ap-
ply.
Helena must have bevy of pretty
girls, at least quite number of our
young men attend Sunday-school there
nearly every Sunday.
The general health Of the township is
good, and the doctors are doing their
b ,st to collect their accounts, but COL
lec:ions are bad this year on account of
the short crops.
Our farmers are making contracts
with their hands for another year, and
1 do not think there will be any lack
of hands. The yellow fever in Florida
has stopped the Florida emigration
feve;, and I have rot heard of single
case of western fever among the colored
people.
There are several :racts of land ad-
vertised for sale in our township next
saleday. Can't some Of our Stony-hill
and Prosperity friends ccme up and in
vest. 1t is certainly fact that where
The white man is n The majority lands
are worth more than where there are
more negroes. Our Trinity lands sell
fifty per cent higher than any other
lands in the township, although they
are considered our thinnest lands.
EIurTah for the nation! Wish our
whole township could become nation
of white people.
Nj. -, Of our township, rarely ever
employs any colored labor. He raises
plenty Of fat hogs. Some time ago he
employed a negro man to do some
djtching on his place. Of course vhe
negro brought his dogs along With him.
The negro had TO pass through the pas
ture to get his dinner. The hogs made
all attack on the dogs and were getting
the best Of the fight, when the negro
ran to the rescue of tue dogs. The hogs
met the negro half way and gave him
a good shaking up. When the owne:
of The hogs appeared on the field of
battle: he found the negro astride a
twelve rail fence, and the dogs nearly
ea;en up by The hogs. The negro says:
II don't understan' dat ting. Niger
an dog use ter run hog, but now hog
run nigger and dog" You can't get
that negro to go near Mr.. IS pas
ture. TELL.

1t gives me great pleasure to add my
testimony in favor of Allcock's Porous
Plasters. Last October I had very
severe attack of lumbago and suffered
untold agony; could not turn in bed or
get in any position without assistance,
and with pains almost unhearable; the
folks suggested Allcock's Porous Plas-
ters. AS soon as possible I had one
applied to the small of my back, and to
my great surprise I experienced almost
instant relief; 7 continued wearing it
until entirely cured, and am happy to
say that I have not had the slightest
symptoms of Lumbago since. They are
a wonderful and valuable Plaster for
Lumbago, and Itake much pleasure in
recommending them.
