The continuous decline in our cotton
market has caused sales to be c0npara-
lively light. Middlings yesterday
Tuesday brought S. freely.
DR.. J. B. Simpson, one of our old and
estinlabie citizens, formerly, but now
of Greenwood is in town looking after
his Interests here We welcome you
Dr..
B. B. Schumpert, is attending to the
cotton business at the Alliance ware
house during the absence of Hon. w.
D. Hardy, who is filling his seat in the
nall Of the Legislature.
Small grain is Sown only in moder-
ately small quantities owing TO the
lateness Of gathering the cotton crop
which is the best that has been since

mense one, with heavy proportion Of
low grades.
On last "Wednesday night. in Grace
Lutheran Church, by Rev. r. @. Keis-
ter, in presence Ola large congregation,
the interesting ceremonies were per-
formed, by which Mr.. 6. Augustus
Maffett and Miss Pollie r. Duncan,
both of this town, We're united in the
holy bonds of matrmony. May your
George Trieste alias "Deafy" was
caught last Monday in the act of dis
posing of whiskey in an illegal manner.
He was arrested and brought before the
town council, found guilty and was
sentenced to thirty days in the guard
house, with the option of leaving the
county. This is the second case in the
modern history Of Newberry County,
in which Punishment was imposed as a
sentence for violation of law. Where
is the Statute? Trieste alias "Deafy"
says he'll move.
. Let the Legislature of South Caro-
lima not cloud and dim the great Dem
ocratic victory recently gained in the
great Northwest, West, North and
Middle States by retiring our great
leader, Wade Hampton, but let South
Carolina, like her noble and grand old
sister, Georgia, send back to the his
toric halls Of Congress her best, her
noblest, her most valiant and honored
son, Wade Hampton. So mote it be.
lfJ. L. NJ. Irby is elected to the I'M
porjant senatorial posit; on, now filled by
our honored, veneratcd, battle-sc 'rred
and loved Wade Hampton-the pure
the upright-the honest-the unbribed
Hampton, the saviour of South Carroll
ma, then 10000 Carolinians will not be
calm and serene. Then the breach
will not be healed, but widened. Talk
about Hampton being in his dotage
and ought to be retired. Shame on the
man, men or press that can use such
langu age. Retired: All! Retired!! Stop?
think: whom are you retiring? your
glorious leader to victory in '6l-76. Re-
tire him? never, unless you desire an
unrest that is settled unrest.
Some persons are exceedingly CRATE
full. SO grateful for our venerated Sena-
tor Hampton, that they would not ask
him to return to the arduous duties
of "all night sessions" in the SIND
Congress in his "declining years." 1t
would show base ingratitude. 1twould
show want Of love to deny the brave
old soldier that rest which will prolong
his days" They even go so far as to
say, "if any persons are so forgetful of
Hamptons welfare' &C., they should
be rebuked by the Legislature. Was
ever such real mean cussedness express
ed before. II is only worthy the tongue
of a Tom Reed or;Inealls. "All night
sessions" Yes, some, at least, Of these
very men were once glad, once proud
that Hampton held "all night sessions
in 1911, but they were not there, on
no, and in case there would be a SINH
lar emergency-these same fellows
would have no time to hold "a!l night
sessions,n oh, no. They would have
pressing business elsewhere, in bomb
proofs whose powder would not give a
pungcnt smell and where lead and iron
would fly promiscuously through the
air. In such times, and eXigencies, our
Hampton would not "desire the restn
his 'declining years. requires. O tenn
