HERALDINGS FROM NO. 6.

The long bridge over Little River has
been completed and received by the
County Commissioners. It's splendid
bridge and speaks we'll for its builders
Messrs. Clamp and Wicker "Rab"
| Werts says that if spring does not soon
come it will be the death of one of our
best citizens, as he stands at the bridge
every day with pole to keep his rival
from coming 70 No. 6. You had better
stopyour foolishness, boys, or some third
party will step in and take the prize.
The O'Neall bridge over Bush River is
also completed. 1t is first class bridge
and was built by Mr.. Luther Aull of
Edgefeld. We can get to NeWberry
as soon as our roads improve enough to
keep the horses from drowning in the
mud.
Our roads are in a fearful condition,
but it is nearly impossible to work
them now. Some of the overseers have
been trying to work them, and the
hands after days work look as if
they belonged to the "cooter" family.
The health of the township is inn
proving, and Col. Maffett says that if
the NJ. DIS could be mud-bound a while
longer he thinks the sick would all get
we'll.
Miss Ella Sheldon, the teacher of the
Dominick school, was called home
Friday by telegram that her mother
was in a dying condition. Her mother
lives in Oconee County. Miss Sheldon
is splendid teacher, and we hope her
mother may be restored to health and
that she may soon return to her school.
Mr. C. NJ. McClung, of our township,

A Vegetarian Dies of Old Age.

One of the most remarkable charac
rurs Cincinnati ever saw died yester
{ y. 1t was DR.. Joseph Garretson of
' est Eighth street. For siXty-two
=, ears Of his life he never drank a cup
of coffee nor slipped a little tea. For
fifty years of his life he ate no meat.
For twenty-six years of his life he never
took so much as pinch of salt. He
came of English stock, and was born
in that County of long-lived people,
York, Pennsylvania, February q, 1903.
His ideas were very simple, but on the
subject of diet he believed strictly in a
vegetarian diet. Nature, he used to
say, has supplied this food, and it is
against nature when man eats meats.
To those who would eat meat, how
ever, he insisted that it.should be eaten
boiled. He used to point to the In.
dians as proof Of this, claiming that
they were never sick unless from
wounds. He trusted to no cooks te
prepare his food, but did it himself
When he went upon journey he tool
his food with him, and only a few
weeks before his death was in New
York city, going the entire distanct
with his food. He claimed that every
thing greasy was injurious to the hu
man system, and of all things horrible
was piece of meat fried. Dyspepsi;
and all the ghosts and Nightmares o
indigestion he attributed to frying
His only drink during his life wa
water, or sometimes a lemonade. HI
was continually experimenting on tn
subject ofdiet, and attributed his Ion.
life entirely to his diet and habits.

BETH EDEN ITEMS.

It has been some time since we have
said anything, and wefeel like blowing
our little tin horn again; for we know
that if we do not, no one will do it for
US.
People away from here think "Beth
Eden is about gone," but if they will
give US a call they will see that we still
are alive, and the little spark that is
here intends to kindle up and become
large blaze and illuminate everything
before long. We now have a good
school, and every one seems to bework-
ing for the interest of the community.
The Sunday-school presented each
Of its scholars with copy of the COM
mon Service few Sundays ago.
Prof Hawkins is preparing to have a
new fence put around his yard.
Miss Fannie Crosson has been visit
ing Misses Rosa and jamie Spence, also
Mrs. Chandler's family.
Miss Sallie Sigh, ofJalapa, is visiting
Mr.. A. G. Sligh's family.
The Commissioner visited our school
not long ago. Our teacher and pupils
were very much frightened, but have
about recovered from the shock.
Prof. and Mrs. Hawkins have been
very sick with chills, but are now con-
valescent.
Mr.. Glenn Rikard was at church a
few Sundays ago We certainly are
glad to have him back at his place
again.
Mr. Lambert Chandler is building
several tenant houses on his farm.
We are greatly in need Of store at
this place. We think that one could
do good business, as it is so far from
town. Very often we get out of things
and the weather is too bad to 60 te
town for them.
The widowers are going to all the
pound parties, and we hear are makine
wishes. Do you think they will come
to pass?

PROSPERITY LETTER.
Nearly $4,000 in Gold Stolen from John
Dominick's Smoke House-Another
Arrest in the Banks Case.

A bold and daring robbery was COM
mitted about three miles from town on
the premises Of Mr.. John Doninick,
better known by the cognomen of
Lumber John,n by which he, Or rather
his wife, lost large sum Of money.
Mr.. Dominick is rather an inbecile,
and his wife attends to all the busi-
ness. She is illiterate, not knowing
even how to count money; hence it is
impossible to arrive at the exact
amount, which was stolen. Itis placed
at 81 900, but the probabilities are that
it was nearer 5000. 1t was the amount
for which Is bales of cotton were sold,
soon after the war, at % cents per
pound in gold. This amount, whatever
it was, was ali stolen except $3.50. Mrs.
Dominick had banked her money, (all
gold in common flour barrel. in the
meat house. She did not think a living
soul knew where she had it hid. IN
order to make things doGbly secure, u
vicious dog was chained to the door,
but even this did not save the gold.
The thieves seem to have been three in
number, and by some means secured
the dog, broke the lock, entered the
house, got their booty and left. They
did not 60 far before they stopped built
upa fire and investigated, and probably
divided. They dropped or lost Sl35,
which was recovered the next morning.
After looking over their spoils. they
found no silver, and believing there
was sack of silver in the barrel also,
they returned to the meathouse again:
with light. This time the barking, or
bowling of the dog awoke Mrs. Domi
nick, who got up and ran the robbers
off: She did not recognize any Of them.
Suspicion points very strongly towards
certain individuals, and the probabili-
ties are that the robbers wi.l be caught.
Mrs. Banks cfers a reward of fifty dol
lars for their apprehension. This is too
small for the amout stolen and we
really fear that no oae will take the job
for so sna an amount. 1t is believed
that the parties are white men.
The thoughtful faculty of Prosperity
High School gave the children and
pupils of the school social entertain
ment at the academy on last Friday
night. The occasion was pleasant
one, and was highly enjoyed by all pres
ent. The faculty was present, and the
very best of order was preserved, and
at about 9! o'clock all were sent home,
happy and benefited.
Edward Paul, was arrested yesterday
on the pat Of the State, and bound
over to court in the sum Of two hundred
dollars. MIR. II. NJ. DouIinick becom-
ing his security.
The number of bales Of cotton sold
for the week ending the 29th was 81.
Total number to date 1884. Price 8
cents for middlings.
Farmers say that there has been en-
tjrelv too much rain for wheat and oats,
and that neither are doing well, nor
promising.
Prosperity High School is in an ex-
cellent condition and is still adding to
it's roll.

An Interview with Senator Pope on the
Origin and Aim Of the System.

The reporter for The Herald ant
News, thinking that the public would
like to know something of the inside
history of the agitation in behalf O
better public schools within our county
which eliminated in the creation, BY
m Act of the last General Assembly O.
this State, of the Broad River Schoo
District, ard the Rutherford Schoo.
District, sought our Senator who very
cheerfully submitted his views on this
matter.
Reporter Senator Pope, I would be
glad to know what led to the passage OF
the recent Act of the General Assembly
in relation to the Broad River School
District and the Rutherford School Dis.
trict.
Senator Pope: Early in November
last Col. D. Augustus Dickert, by his
appointment met me in my office, and
announced as the purpose of that inter
view, the erection of better schools fo1
his section of our county, and in answer
to my question as to the methods be
had in view to secure this most worthy
end, replied that the creation of a
school district by an Act of the General
Assembly, with power of taxation,
would accomplish the desired result.
The result was that Col. Dickert then
undertook to formulate plan and Sc
cure the consent and cooperation of
the other citizens of his section to the
proposed school district. Accordingly
petitions Humerously signed were fur
nished the members of the Legislature
from Newberry, memorializing the
General Assembly on the passage of
an Act for the purpose hereinbefore
indicated. Just here I would like to
state that the earnestness of purpose in
dicated by Col. Dickert impressed me
very much. He had not only ridden
to Newberry through a very heavy
rain, but he brought with him carefully
prepared plans written out, all of which
showed that he was in earneS:s.
After the legislature had been in ses-
sion more than a week, the petition
for the Rutherford School District
reached US, and understand that this
movement enlisted the hearty sympa-
thy and cooperation of Col. Dickert.
Reporter: From your statements, it
would seem that Col. Dickert was the
pioneer in this movement for better
schools for the masses.
Senator Pope: Undoubtedly Col.
Dickert is entitled t. all the credit due
to active leadership in this matter.
Those who saw Col. Dickert in battle
and witnessed there not only his un-
tagging zeal, but splendid courage,
would naturally expect the best and
6ra;niest work in behalf of the educa-
tion of our children, if we were enlisted
in that cause. He has enlisted the first
volunteers in our county. Let US,
therefore, uphold his hands and en-
courage his labors.
Reporter: see from your surround
ings that I cannot longer claim your
attention at this time, but there are
other questions I would like to submit
for your answers.
Senator Pope: Whenever you feel
that there are any matters supposed to
be in my charge: or any question relat-
ing to public affairs concerning which
you may wish my views, I shall be
pleased to confer with you.
