A Newberry Sub-Alliance Resolve.

Whereas an unfortunate controversy
has arisen between our friend and fel-
low citizen, Col. Ellison S. keitt, and
the honored President Of our State
Alliance, Dr. J. VIM. Stokes; we deem
it proper to express ourselves as fol-
lows:
Pesolred lst, That Col. keitt does not
express our sentiments or opinions.
ReSotced md, That we deem President
Stokes true and honorable brother
and officer, true to the best interest of
the Alliance, his constituents, his State
and his country, worthy and competent
to serve us in the highest positions of
honor and trust.
Resolved 3rd, That we deem the
attack upon our United States Senator
elect, J.L. NJ. Irby, unkind, nwarrant-
able.
We further say that if there be due
any consideration or charity toward a
reformed brother, that Col. Irby de-
serves the greatest consideration for his
model life and sobriety during the last
six years. 'Tis hero who conquers
self.
Resolced 4th, That we do not approve
Of the third party scheme, but we be-
lieve all needed reform can be accomp-
lished through the present political
parties whose bedrock principles were,
originally, the true interests of the peo-
pie and of the Republic.
Again we have no guarantee that the
third party would not go astray as the
others have, and be untrue to Alliance
principles, we strive for reform not
renewal, preservation not obliteration.
IT. DUNCAN, President, Whitmires.

Death of Little Henry Pau! Zobel

Henry Paul, the youngest child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Zobel. died Tues
day morning, February 2tth, in the
10th year Of his age.
For twelve or fourteen years he knew
nothing of earths scenes OF joy and
sorrow; neither of its temptations and
Waywardness.
Only in the opening hours and days
Of infancy that linked two brief years
together did the beautiful light Of day
and the endearments Of home shine
upon and touch the glimmering con-
sciousness of babyhood.
There was no rift in the cloud Of that
little life, so soon and so darkly
shadoWed!
But the vail is now drawn, and he
has entered the presence Of the Great
Physician and the company Of minis
tering spirits!
The ears are upstopped, the lips no
longer sealed, and the eyes, 10 all III
tents sightless here, have opened upon
the tremulous light of love and to the
iris of heaven!
The little body is at tranquil rest
within the bosom of mother earth. The
whispering voices of the vesper winds
shall be its lullaby; whilst not an atom
Of the fragile form, in dissolution, shall
be lost in the weeks, months and sea-
sons that. may elapse before the Crea-
tive Voice of the Lord Of the Resurrec-
ton shall reinvest it with the invisible
yet indestructible mind and soul now
so beautifully clothed upon with the
habilaments Of Paradise.

OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.

Quantities of cotton continue to come

The dissolution Of the old firm of
Wheeler & Moseley has been consum-
mated. The business will be carried on
as heretofore, but under the new name
of Moseley Bros. The Moseley Bros.
are not new names to our people, but
are synonymous with honest dealings,
plenty goods for ready cash, and the
same corps of genial, courteous and
affable clerks. The banking business
will also be conducted as usual. This
firm of twenty-four years standing has
been one of unparalleled success, and the
name is known "far and wide"-from
dan to Beersheba" The dissolution
ID ~ iIiut NSll NOil9Clll, anu lllS lSldLIOilS
Of the parties concerned are of the most
pleasant nature. Mr.. Wheeler simply
being desirous Of retiring to an agri-
cultural life, his wishes and desires
were granted, and all parties are happy
and serene.
Prof. Frank Dreher has resigned as
principal of Prosperity High School.
His resignation has been accepted by
the Board of Trustees. Prof. Dreher
goes with the best wishes of all our
people to the Lone Star State, where
ever so many of our young men have
gone before. There was no antagonism
between Prof. Dreher and the patrons
of the school. In fact the school is in
o prosperous condition, but Professor
Dreher's health is falling, and he thinks
Texas, with lighter work will restore
what he has lost, in the way of health.
Prof. f. O. Counts, who is we'll known
as first class teacher, will fill the
place just vacated by Prof Dreher, and
all will be happy and serene.

The Bridge at Chappells.

We have spoken before Of the i'm
portance of free bridge across the
Saluda at Chappells thereby bringing
thatsection of Edgefield nearer to New
berry. The County Commissioners at
their meeting on Tuesday decided to
appropriate $30e toward the building OF
such bridge provided that EdgeIleId
gave a like amount. The Newberry
Commissioners reserve the right to eX-
anime and approve the plans and spec
ifcaticns, and also to approve and re-
ceive the bridge after built before pay
ing the $500. That amount is all the
people Of ChappeIis asked the county
to appropriate and We hope now that
the bridge will soon be built.

A Test Case.

\. NJ. Bowers & Co., have instituted
proceedings against the town Of New
berry to recover the 500 charged for
license over and above the license last
year. The case will be heard before
Trial Justice Maybin on next Monday.
The plaintiffs are represented by John
stone and Cromer, and the town by
Geo. S. Mower, Esq. The council gave
notice in an ordinance that the license
for retailing liquor would be four hun
dred dollars On the night that the
licenses were to be granted the council
determined to raise the license to S50n
and did raise it. All the barrous paid
the additional 800, but claim to have
paid under protest. The question now
comes up on the legality OF the action
of council in raising the license. 1t in
wolves about $500 revenue to the town
this wear.

Helena HeraldinGs.

The Helena Sunday-school rarely
fails to remember the Clinton Orphan
age in an annual contribution. A few
days ago the secretary, Mr.. Julien, sent
it's little free-will and votive Offering
Sl0.7s. This amount, though not great,
was given willingly; moreover, the
school has been reduced in the past few
years by removals from the village.
About forty children have gone to
make their homes elsewhere, and their
places have not yet been supplied.
We have alluded to this matter not
for the purpose Of parading it, but
silAply for the purpose of exciting in
terest and sympathy in and with the
noble institution so very near us, and
which draws its maintenance, for sweet
charity : sake, so largely from abroad.
There are about one hundred orphans
in the Clinton Orphanage, and it taxes
dollars by the Thousand to feed, clothe,
and shelter these little boys and girls;
to light up and give warmth to their
rooms; and to supply them with books
and stationary, etc, together with
medicines and medical attention when
needed.
Mr.. Jacobs is welded to this work Of
love, and is making a beautiful home
for the children-a home Of refinement
and culture and care, and likewise of
earnest practicability. The discipline,
education and training at the Orphan
age prepares thoughtful, self-relant,
self-respectine and self-denying boys
and girls for the battle Of life.
TO further equip them as bread
winners, Mr.. Jacobs will erect tech
biological school in addition to the other
buildings.
The possibilities of the Clinton Or
Rhanage are not limited. We hope the
Eastertide offerings will be generous.
How sad it is to see the daily page of
seli-destruction. To read Of the mourn
full procession Of those who, weary of
life, are going down beneath the Pluto
nian shadows Of despair. What is the
cause-or what are the causes? Of one
thing We are quite certain, and that is.
implicit belief in the providences of
God-particularly his general and spe-
cial provideuce-would lead to more
hopeful and brighter lives. We would
live more for others and less for our
selves. The affections would be cherish
ed and passion give place to patience!
Then would there be more of >self-con-
troll, sympathy, mercy and magma
nimity. Tongues and tempers con-
trOlled would lead to new truths and
beauties in social and ethical life. Nor
dare we disbelieve Gods permissive
providence. Care, suffering, adversely
and consequent self-denial, are essen
tial to rounded, quiet and an unob-
trusive life that will await the grand
secret and the mystery that environs it.

Chaor,cn'S History of South Carolina.

The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier has the following to
say of Chapman's history OF South
Carolina. The State Board will do
we'll to adopt this history:
Capt. A. ?. Pifer, Of NeWberry, to-
day submitted the manuscript Of Chap
mans History OF South Carolina to the
Superintendent OF Education. The
book will be published in Richmond
and will contain about 400 pages. Capt.
Pifer thinks the price will 5e.about 81.
1t will contaiG q large number Of illus
trations. It will have the feature OF
marginal notes, something similar TO
Eggleston's History OF the United
States. Capt. Pifer will appear before
the State board at its meeting in April
and urge its adoption for the public
schools OF the State. He states that
the HarDers have offered TO publish
the book, but he preferred to have it
published by some Southern put!isher.'

Dead Fal ! or String Town Ghost Story.

AS the most of our friends have never
heard of the story, we will try to tell it,
and try to stick as close to the truth as
circumstances will permit. Doubtless
the many readers of this county know
the parties we shall mention, and also
the place. Deadfall is the place; or
rather that is the ancient name, but the
rising generation have given it the
name of String Town. Well, the story
goes, that there was a ghost to be seen
at the old Deadfall every night, there
was no one living there at the time)
and various were the tales as to what
was seen and heard. So Frank NJ,
Dan l. and Newt B., with his
little son Lawrence, made up q party
of investigation. Frank NJ: armed
| with pitchfork, assured the party Of
no danger as he was medium and
could materialiZe the ghost, but as it
turned out, things materialized too
we'll. When the party got on the spot
and was walking around the house to
the well, every one stopped. Frank
called for his spirits and they came too
quick. The party got scared and start
| ed to run, some going on one side OF
the house, some on the other, and all
getting around about the same time,
and seeing each other, every fellow
thought it was the ghost and they broke
off in every direction. Frank NJ. hap
| pened to start across the old field, and
making speed that would astonish
Maud S. Nobody ever did know where
he took up at, but be got home next
morning all scratched up, no hat, and
that pitchfork never has been found,
and he never has explained to the sat-
sfaction of the women why he never
got home any sooner; and Newt B.,
poor fellow, got the worst flight Of all;
when he started to run his little son
grabbed him by tha coat tail and Newt
thought it was the ghost, and he spread
| himself with the boy holding on for
his life, not wanting to be left. Now
there was short turn in the road, and
when Newt made the turn his coat tore
out, and when the boy saw he was left
he began to yell, and that only made
the old man get better, and every few
steps he would call out to Mollie, his
wife, to open the door. He soon got
| home, and the little fellow came along
! after awhile, but the old mar was too
scared to let him in for a good while.
Dan L. being young and cotive, he just
cleaned up everything. He got on a
regular stampede with hat in hand,
and an Indian war-whoop every few
jumps; be left everything. Dan had a
cap box in his pocket with only few
caps in it, and every jump the caps
would rattle and Dan would run the
harder, until he ran himself down, and
for a long time, if you would rattle a
cap box Dan would start up and look
for the ghost. None Of the party ever
knew what startled them that night,
but some people say it was only a cat
fight. Any way, since the Smith Man
ufacturing Company has been there the
little Smiths have scared away all the
ghosts. x**

On Wednesday morning the night
freight train on the G. & &. Railroad,
going west, was derailed just beyond
Bush River, about three miles west of
Newberry. Eight box cars were broken
and thrown on both sides of the track
complete wrecks.
The engine and eight cars next to it
kept the track. The conductors cab
also kept the track. No one was in
jured. The track was torn up for
nearly IS yards.
The Anderson train was kept at
Newberry. all day yesterday and the
Columbia and Greenville passengers
transferred at the wreck.
The track will be in condition for
trains to pass over to-day.
1t is supposed that a broken rail
caused the accident.
The damage to the railroad will be
considerable.

ANOTHER DEAL
Railroad Racket.

The new schedule on the G. d u.
railroad by which the Anderson train
will run through to Columbia will go
into effect next Monday. The run from
Columbia to Greenville will he made
in six hours. The train leaves Colum-
bia at $50 a. m. and arrives at Green
vile at 1870 p. m. 1t arrives at New
berry at SOB a. m. Returning it leaves
Greenville at 3 p. III. and arrives in
Columbia at 9 p. m, passing NeWbeTry
at 7.l6. This will be quite a conven-
ience to Newberry and the travelling
public. 1t gives US too daily passenger
trains between Columbia and Green
Vile, and will deliver the Columbia
daily papers at Newberry at o'clock
on the morning of publication. The
report that the Laurens passenger train
between Laurens aud Columbia would
be discontinued is incorrect. 1t Will
be run as heretofore.
A new schedule will likely be put on
the c.. \. & L. r. R. between Colum-
bia and Clinton about the 18th Of this
month. Just what that schedule will
be we are not informed, but there will
probably be morning train from
Columbia making connection at Clin-
ton with the train on the G., G. & \.
railroad going West. This train will
pass Newberry about ten O'Clock in~the
morning.
Railroad Commissioners Jervey and
Thomas were at Newberry last Thurs
day. They inspected and received ten
miles of the G.. n. & l.. r. r. from
Newberry to Garys.
