That Third Party.

To the Editor Of The Herald and
News: In your issue Of the 18th in
slant appears the following in the edI-
torial columns:
"Col. E. S. Keitt is advocating q
third party. The Alliance does not
want it, and Col. Keitt will be almost
alone in these parts in his advocacy OF
such a scheme. We are not ready TOR
that yet"
The writer was not aware that any
one had authority to say what the
Alliance wants or does not want. One
not a member of the order certainly has
no authority to speak forit. The mem
bers of the several organizations that
have corfederated and will confederate
will determine next February, through
their delegates who will meet in Wash
ington City, whether or not they will
form a peoples party. The writer
spoke for himself alone and gave the
reasons for the faith that is in him.
Please reproduce my letter on the sub
ject that your readers may fully under
stand the matter. You will find it in
the National Economist, the organ Of
the National Farmers Alliance, of the
18th, and in the News and Courier of
the 10Th instant.
Very respectfully,
ELLISON S. kEITT.

Library Society.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News:-Can you interest your readers
in the effort now being made to organ
ize and maintain in the town of New
berry a Circulating Library? Such an
institution could be made a source of
great usefulness and pleasure; and, in
town of .Newberry's size and advant-
ages, a Circulating Library could sue
ceed. The privileges of mem bership,
moreover, might be extended to the
citizens Of the county, thus increasing
the influence and usefulness of the or
ganization. Books are cheap now; and
a library could be furnished at COM
paratively small cost.
In connection with a library, there
could be supported a reading room
where one could find some of the news
papers and magazines Of the day.
Everybody who can read wants to read.
The great trouble about the matter Is,
however, few have the means to buy
books. Is it not possible, however, to
follow in Newberry the example of
some other towns in the State and by
a union Of effort obtain that which IN
dividual poverty denies one?

The AbbeyilIe Press and Banner is

The Abbeville Press and Banner is
kind enough to say, in reply to our
question, "Why should not Newberry
have canning factory" that it sees no
reason in the world why she should
not, except it be that the business men
and the men who have money do not
care to invest it that way. 1t was very
kind of the Press and Banner thus TO
enlighten our mind and answer our
puzzling question that's puzzling to
US. And still the answer is not salts
factory. Canning factories pay else
where and we think our citizens have
as much business tact as those of any
other town and do not see why they
should not pay here.
But the canning factory is coming,
and we are sorry we can't suggest to
the Press and Banner some way by
which Abbeville can secure the services
of good and first-class baker. An
advertisement in The Herald and News
is the best way we can think of now.
Suppose you try that contemporary. 1t
pays.

We direct attention to the communl-
cation in another column of DR.. ". T..
Pelham. He treats of live subjects and
in an interesting manner. They concern
the people of Newberry and their in
terests. We do not all agree on
these important questions and a
little agitation and discussion will re-
suit in good. No harm can be done
by throwing on the light. When the
matter of water works and electric
lights comes to be tested we presume
the majority will rule and the minority
will have to submit. The Herald and
News wants free, square fight and will
submit to the decision of the people.

The News and Courieris cruel enough
to intimate that Col. Keitt wants
third party because he was not elected
to the United States Senate by the last
Legislature, and now here comes the
Laurens Advertiser and says Col. Keitt
wants third party, and it wants to
know if the third party wants Col.
Keitt. Now we will not be so cruel as
to assign any such reasons to Col. Keitt
for his advocacy of a third party for he
has assured US that he was in no proper
sense of the word a candidate for United
States Senator at the last Legislature.
There is probability, however, that
be would have accepted the office if it
had been rendered. And who would
not?

A1IsRARy FOR NEwBERRY.

The letter from correspondent, pub
Ished in another column Of this issue
of The Herald and News, indicates
that an effort is being made to organize
Library Society in the town of New
berry. In fact, we to-day give place to
the notice of a meeting which is called
for next Friday evening to consider the
subject. Regarding the practicablilty
and wisdom Of such an undertaking
there can scarcely be any question.
Years ago, before Newberry was near
so big a town, there was library
society in existence here. To-day,
with a college and with an improved
system of schools, to say nothing OF the
number of people in our midst who can
and do read, library could be made
to succeed.
Few people have either the means or
the inclination to buy all Of the books
that each year issue from the press.
Except in very rare instances, more
over, when one has read a book it is
laid aside and that is the last Of it. Is
it not possible, however, as suggested
in the letter referred to, for many-by
pulling together-to enjoy advantages
single efforts may be unable to bring?
# would not be unwise to make tie
experiment. Other towns have success
fully tried the plan; and we see no
reason why Newberry, with so much
in her favor, could not do equally as
well. For the success of the under
taking The Herald and News will GER
tainly do all in its power. May we'
therefore, not hope that on next Fri
day night the movement will be put
firmly on foot?

GEN. JOSEPH +. JOHNSTON.

Gen. Joseph f. Johnston, one Of the
great leaders of the Confederacy and
the hero of three wars, has passed
over the river to join Lee and Jackson
and host of others who have gone be-
fore. He wasS5 years old. Only few
weeks ago he attended the funeral of
his opponent in arms, Gen. Sherman,
and it is said the exposure on that oc-
casion FASTENED the end of his life. In
our next issue we will publish the story
of his life. One by one the great leaders
in the greatest war Of history are pass
ing away. Their memory should be
cherished by their descendants.

NOT ONE SORB NOW.
Eaby Aflicted with had Sores and
Eruptions-No Kelief-Perma-
nently Cured by Cuticura.

During the summer Of 1889 my eighteen
months old infant was so afflicted with erup-
tionS that ordinary domestic remedies failed
to give any relief. On his hips would o ten
appear the seeming track of a little wire-like
worm. and on other parts Of his body bad
sores came and remained till procured the
Cuiicura Remedies. For some time used the
soap and Salve without a blood medicine,
but they did not do so we'll as when all were
used together. 1t has now been nearly year
since the urption was healed, and very
much feared it would return with the warm
weather OF this year, but the summer is
passed and not one sore has appeared on him.

A big cock fight is booked fer to-day

here from Augusta, Charleston, Waycross
and other points to tackle Savannah's
game chicks. Sporting men from those
places are in town to hack their favorites,
and they are expecting big time
They may not be disappointed about this,
either, as the supreme court will probably
assist in furnishing a portion Of the
big time. Solicitor General Fraser said
yesterday that he will prosecute every one
engaged in the affair, those betting as well
as the owners of the cocks. Any of them
who believe there is no statute under
which they can be prosecuted, the solicitor
said, will find out that they are mistaken,
as there is a law in the Georgia code which
expressly forbids cock fighting and the bet
ting spectators will be prosecuted for gam
bling.
IL the fight takes place arrangements will
be made to secure the names of all in
attendance. and they will be presented to
the grand jury next week.
Those who know say the fight will be the
ha dest fought fight occurring in this sec-
tions in years. Each side is to show
twenty-one chickens, two ounces being
allowed either side iu the matching.

SACR ed TREES.
The Date, the Oak, the Ash and the
Legends CONCERNING Them.

The Date, the Oak, the Ash and the
Legends Concerning Them.
The palm, the oak and the ash are, ac-
according to timely and interesting article
in the June number of the Delttsche
RundSchud, the three trees which, since
time immemorlal, were held to be sacred
trees. The first among them, which figures
on the Oldest monuments and pictures of
the Egyptians and Assyrians, is the date
palm hometan. Tladition of a later
period says that when Adam left
paradise he was allowed to take with
him three things-a myrtle, because
it was the most lovely and most scented
flower on earth; "a wheat ear. because it had
the most nourishment, and date, because
1t was the most glorious fruit of the earth.
The date from paradise was in some mar
velous way brought to the Dejaz. From it
have come all the date palms In the world,
and Allah destined it to be the food Of all
true believers, who shall conquer every
country where the date palm grows.
The oak was always considered a holy
tree by our ancestors, and, above ell, by
the nations of the north of Europe When
Winifred OF Devonshire (6S0-754 A. d.
went forth on his waEderings through Ger
many to preach the gospel, one of his first
actions was to cut down the giant oak in Sax
ony winch was QeQicaeed to Thor, and wor-
shipped by the people from far aud near.
But when he had nearly felled the oak and
while the people were cursing and threaten
ing the saint a supernatural storm swept
over 1t, seized the summit, broke every
branch and dashed it, quasi superni, motus,
solaris, with a tremendous crash to the
ground. The heathens acknowledged the
marvel, and many of them were converted
there and then. But the saint built chapel
Of the wood of this very oak and dedicated
it to st. Peter.
The Celts and Germans and Scandina-
! vians, again, worshipsd the mountain ash,
and 1t is especially in the religious myths of
the latter that the "Askr Yggdrasil" plays
prominent part. To them it was the no.
liest among trees. the "world tree" which,
eternally young and dewy, represented
heaven, earth and hell. According to the
Edda the ash yggdrasil was an evergreen
tree. A specimen Of it Says Adam OF
Bremen) grew at Upsala, in front of the
great temple, and another in Dithmarschen,
carefully guarded by a railing, for it was,
in mythical way, connected with the fate
of the country. When Dithmarschen lost
its liberty the tree withered, but magpie,
one of the best prophesying birds of rhe
north, came and built its nest on the with
| cred tree and Matched five little ones. all
perfectly white, as sign that at some fu-
ture time the country would regain its for.
mer liberty.
