Did the Best he Could.

A certain disciple of Esculapius in
Newberry was left alone last week by
those of gentle womankind who pre-
side over his home. Paradoxical as it
may seem, he 'got left" by the ap-
pearance of some of the more gentle
perhaps-of the gentle sex upon the
scehe.
This was how it happened: In this
case of special loneliness, he boasted of
his good housekeeping, and to prove
his assertions to three charming maid
ems in fancy free, be invited them to
dine, thinking Of course that they
would not be present to test his cult
vation of arts culinary and domestic.
The bill Of fare he named was no
fox-and- stork fable affair, and at the
hour appointed the fair ones, with a
married lady friend as chape :one,
started out to enjoy the tempting bill
of fare offered by our boastful bacf elor
friend. He was completely set back
by their appearance, as their visit was
totally unlooked-for by him. He
made the best of the affair under the
circumstances, and actually was able,
after he recovered his composure, to
perform the honors of the occasion in
such elegant style that his fair visitors
will now gladly recommend him as a
firstrate Eousekeeper, and he may yet
be Benedict in all reality.

Killed by Lightning.

Becky Johnson a colored woman,
was killed by lightning 10 Newberry
during the rain storm last FRIDAY al
ternoon. She lived in q house on the
south side of Harrington street, near
the railroad trestle. She had gone to
the house of Maggie johnson, on the
opposite side of the street, and was
stsrding in the doorway talking to her
when she was struck by the bolt Of
lightning and killed instantly. The
other colored woman was sitting on a
box just three feet off from the woman
who was killed, and although consid-
erably shocked she was not Injured;
Coroner Lindsay held an inquest, and
next morning had the woman buried
the colored people declining any
assistance whatever.
The colored occupants of the cabins
in that vicinity became superstltlouss
about the death of the woman and
they all vacated the premises the next
day.

The New Schedule.

The "something better" that Our
friend Ball of the Laurens Ad-
vertiser has been calling for seems to
have come in the new schedule on the
G. & G. road, for our Laurens friends
now have a quick and clear route to
the seaboard. The new schedule is
very convenient for any one gong to
the North, or to Charleston, Savannah
or Augusta. Close connections are made
at Columbia for those points. 1t is also
great improvement over the way
people in these parts had to get to Glenn
Springs and Western North Carolina
last summer. BY going to Alston from
Newberry On the train leaving at Ills
a. NJ, there is walt of four hours at
Aston, from - 20 p. m. to 4.30 p. M,
for the Asheville train that leaves
Columbia at $50 p. N. 1t arrives a.
Spartanburg at $50 p. m., in time for
the trip to be made to Glenn Springs in
the cooler part of the day, which will
be refreshing, no doubt, after the time
spent in viewing the Broad at Alston.
The new schedule is published in
full this week.

Coast Line Notes.

The Atlantic Coast Line has put on
their summer excursion rates, good
from June 1st to October 31st. The
rates to the resorts in Western North
Carolina are: Tryon, $3.50; Henderson
willie, $40; Asheville, sos; Hot
Springs, $500; Waynesville. $3.50.
The traveller has the choice of two
routes to the above points by way
of Clinton and Greenwood and the Port
Royal and Western Carolina road to
Spartanburg. The other is by way of
Clinton and Carlisle-the junction of
the G. G. & n. with the R. & D. road
thence to Spartanburg. Close connec-
tions are made by either route.
The road has also fitted up a neat
pavilion at Little Mountain for the use
of picnic parties, and it affords protec-
ton from the weather. The round trip
from Newberry to Little Mountain is
rs cents to parties of ten or more.
A slight change of schedule in the
mixed train was made last week. The
down train leaves at 7.3O a. m., and the
afternoon train arrives at ia p. m.

COL. JOHN f. HOBES.
he is Just from Australia, where he is the
King of Two Cannibal Tribes.
ATLANTA Herald, End. ]

tALldE -hN'
Made "a pile"; made a king of two
tribes of cannibals; run through with q
spear; writing five books; rich in eNpe-
riences: but few weeks out from Aus
tralia to-day.
How is that for record?
Yesterday, Col. John F. Hobbs, who
left Atlanta in 1890 for Australia, re-
turned to the city. He was heavier
than when he left, and there was about
him more Of that general air OF self
satisfaction than characterized him
three years ago.
Col. Hobbs has been in Journalism
and has had great many unusual ex-
periences. He is a ruling chief of one
of the tribes of blacks in the back coun-
try of Australia, and ruling chief OF
king of one of the cannibal tribes on
the New Hebrides islands out from tie
Australian coast. He bears on his body
the scars of spear thrust which he re-
ceived in an encounter with the blacks
when on a raid with squad Of Aus
tralian police.
Col. Hobbs showed a representative
of the Herald a photograph of the fight
ing chief of his tribe, Rahohouma. The
fellow is dressed in a suit of clothes
given him by the colonel, and around
bis neck wears a necklace of porpoise
teeth. Each tooth represents a man
killed in battle, whose heart had been
eaten in whole or in part by Ranohou-
ma. The fellow is thirty-two years old
and is very much attached to Colonel
Hobbs.
He speaks broken English, and one
day said to the colonel:
lyon eat umChinaman one, time you
no more eat um pig. White fellow too
much eat salt. Chinaman very good" "
It is supposed the opium in the Chi
naman soOthed the cannibal.
These fellows fight with spears, clubs
and battle axes. Col. Hobbs has BOOM
erang taken in battle by himself.
The colonel was asked for state
ment of the causes that produced the
panic in Australia. He said:
First they had the mine boomers,
and then the land boomers, and with
these last came the building societies,
that were organized to build houses on
the instalment plan. A general de-
preston first caused the failure of these
building societies, the collapse amount
ing to some S4O,000,000.
"Last year the sheep-raisers suffered
great losses from the rabbits and
drought, and three immense banks that
had loaned money on the sheep pro-
perties were forced TO suspend. This
caused runs on the other banks, and
the bank failures in the last two months
foot up over $500, 100000. Most Of this
is safe, however, and the banks will
pay out as soon as they can realize on
their assets. -,
"You can have no idea ofthe terrible
losses the sheep raisers suffered J" con-
tinued Col. Hobbs. "'On one ranch
25,OOO,O 900 rabbits died or perished, and
the sheep were simply wiped from the
face of the earth, through the drought
and the damage done by the rabbits " "
Col. Hobbs will be in Atlanta until
July, and will then 60 on to Chicago to
visit the Worlds Fair. He is engaged
in writing five books, soon to be issued
from the press.
[Col. Hobbs is expected in Newberry
next week at Commencement.

Notes from Excelsior.


School Commissioner Keitt spent
night in the community recently, the
guest of Mr.. A. M. Counts.
The farmers have been busily en-
gagged in the harvest fields. The grain
crops generally will average rather
short this year. However, we have
noticed some good fields ofgrain.
Some of our people will attend the
commencement exercises of the Pros
perity High School this week. We
also hope to be present at the commen'
cement exercises of Newberry College,
We have had an abundance of rain
and while the crops are growing nicely
they have suffered some from over
flows. However, we shall not complain
long as we are exempt from other de-
structive injuries.
The merchants of your town who
have advertised in The Herald and
News have taken in several dollars
from this community. Advertising
pays and the merchants who fail to use
printers ink just miss it.
The new schedule of the R. & D. roac
is not very suitable for US now on the
Sabbath as it interferes somewhat witi
our people returning from church. But
then we will have to arrange our owl
schedule as the railroads don't seem te
have much respect for the seventh day
and little less for Sunday.
