DEATES.

Mrs. Thos. F. Harmon died early
Yesterday, morning of rheumatism OF

kind hearted lady and leaves hus-
band and sweet little daughter to
mourn the irreparable loss of wife and
mother.
DR.. Thomas w. 3oozer died on the
21st instant, aged 73 years. DR.. Boozer
was a graduate of the Charleston Med
ical College in the class Of 184C, and
enjoyed large and lucrative practice
Of his profession for about twenty-five
years, when his health gave out and hs
retired to the quietude of his farm. He
was an honorable citizen and was
buried at Smyrna yesterday.
Miss Sarah A. Fritz, formerly Of Co.
lumbia, died on the 18th instant, OF
consumption, at the home Of her niece,
Mrs. A. G. Jones'. -
Her illness, of long duration, was pa
tiently and submissively borne, look
ing for the end as but the sweet going
home, where so many loved ones were
waiting. Her pure spirit was ready fol
the heavenward call for her life had
been a eonsecrated one.
A devoted member of the Methodist
Church, she manifested in her daily
living the true spirit of Christ-faith,
humility, charity-and in each of the
shining virtues she cave evidence Of
her sincere piety. ...-. ..
Her gentle, sympathetic nature en-
deared her to all, and her influence
will ever be felt by those who honor
and cherish her memory. Her remains
are sweetly resting in Rosemont ceme-
terry and the imperishable soul is in
paradise joyously waiting the first res:
urI ection, which will be Of the glorified
spiritual bodies Of the sainted dead.

Country Baseball.


The game of ball to have been played
between the Newberry and Monticello
teams, on the grounds of the Broad
River Jerusalem Street) nine, failed
to materialiZe on account Of the heavy
downpour of rain ON the 14th instant;
but the bit Of friendly instruction"
billed for the 18th rolled in on time,
much to the surprise of the Israel
ites," who were extremely short OF
players-having only two of their reg
ular nine within reach. But in order
to show some appreciation Of the diff
culties through which Monticello had
come, a nine was hastily caught up
and playing began about 8 p. NJ.
Although the "Israelites" deported
themselves very handsomely for the
first two innings, holding the score
within the realm OF respectability,
still it was evident that they were not
Gin itn by G. handsome majority; so
much so, indeed, that the game
changed from basis of contention to
one of admiration at the superb play
ing of the Fairfield boys.
It was instructive to see the boys
trying to book one Of Hanahan's in
terrogation points or divine the matter
between his parentheses.
Score: Monticello, Al; Jerusalem, 6.
After such a send-off' I do not think
that the "Lost Child'n" will think of
accepting challenge from anything
short of New York or Chicago.
We are pleased to hear to-day that
the Newberrys will meet Monticello,
on our grounds, in about three weeks;
at which time we feel that lovers OF
the game will find something to inter
est. them. b.

GOVERNOR T1LLMAN AT THE FAIR
He IL Introduced to the National Com
mission and Makes Speech.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Two receptions
were held in the rooms of the national
commission in the Administration
building at the worlds fair yesterday.
Governor Tillman, of South Carolina,
who accompanied the Augusta Exposi-
ton delegation, was recognized ofhci-
ally by the commission. He was in
troduced by State Commissioner Roach
and presented by Vice President Penn
and was greeted with applause.
Governor Tillman congratulated the
commission and officers upon the
grandeur of the exhibits and regretted
South Carolina's absence.
"Crossing a thousand miles of this
grand country of ours from the South
Atlantic to the shores of the Northern
lakes, one must feel that we have a
grand country, grand in its size, grand
in everything, and it makes anybody,
let him come from where he may IN
the United States, feel proud to say i
am an American do not hesitate to
say without 1attering you in the least,
that God appears to have picked this
spot out to be in the future the hub Of
North America, the center of thought.
wealth, progression, pluck and energy;
and make the prediction to-day that
in less then twenty-five years you will
have more people in Chicago than any
city on the American continent, II not
in the world"
In closing, Governor Tillman ex-
pressed his conviction that great good
would grow out of the Fair.
There had gathered in the room while
Governor Ti!lman was speaking, a very
large delegation from the Augusta expo
sition. Fully seventy-tive representa-
tiveladies and gentlemen from Augusta
were there aud it was probably novel
scene to have so many ladies gathered
-iu this room during a sitting of the
body.

CONGRESSMAN SHELL HURT.
Knocked Down by Cable Car and Dragged
Along the Streets-Injuries Painful,
but not Believed to be Serious
Resting Quietly.
-Soecial to News and Courier.

Especial to News and Courier.1
WASHINGTON, August 2l.-Congress-
man Shell was knocked down by a
cable car in Pennsylvania avenue to-
night, and sustained painful if not
serious injuries. He was Oh bis way to
the Capitol to attend night session on
the silver bill and listen to speech
against the repeal of the Sherman Act,
by his young colleague, Mr.. McLaurin.
Capt. Shell intended to take cable
to the Capitol, 80 be left his hotel and
proceeded to the middle of the avenue
to await for a Capitol car. Instead OF
taking his position Oh the off side Of the
track he stood between the tracks. An
up and q down car came along, and be
was caught between them. He was
knocked down aud dragged several feet
by the car.
The accident took place in front of
the Metropolitan Hotel and the side
walk was lined with people waiting to
welcome home the District militia, who
bad just returned from successful rlde
contest at Seagirt, n. J.
Several persons ran to Capt. Shells
assistance, and be was carried to his
apartment in the Metropolitan Hotel.
His clothes were torn and be was
bruised about the head and face. His
shoulder was also strained, and he re-
ceived a general shaking up.
Upon examination it was found that
Capt. Shell had sustained no internal
injuries, and DR.. Walsh informed me
that he did not believe his patient was
seriously injured.
When saw the Captain in bed be
was unable to talk to me, as the doctor
had directed that he should not be dis

AGAINST The STATE.
Judge Simonton Decides that Railroads
Can Bring Liquor into the State.

GREENvILLE, S. c., Aug. 2l.-The
decision Of Judge Simonton in the
United States Circuit Court in the
habeas corpus case Of Langford was
filed to-day.
I4augford is the agent Of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad at Pros
perity, in this State. He was arrested
and held under the twenty-fifth Sec
ton of the State Dispensary liquor law
for delivering to the consignee keg of
whiskey shipped from outside of this
State. The section referred to forbids
any common carrier to transport, or
any agent to deliver, packages Of liquor
which have not the official certificate
of the States Dispenser that they are
for the State Dispensary. The railroad
company claimed that this section was
contrary to the interstate commerce
laws and the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States.
The State claimed that it was the exer-
else of its legitimate police powers.
Judge Simonton's decision briefly
synopsized is as follows: The twenty
fifth section of the Dispensary Act
makes it a misdemeanor for a railroad
employee to deliver any intoxicating
liquors from his train, aud without re-
guiring knowledge On his part that the
package contains intoxicating liquors or
that it is intended for sale. In every
other instance mentioned in this section,
including private carriers and railroad
and express companies, knowledge that
the intoxicating liquor is intended for
sale is expressly required. This is
discrimination against one class OF peo-
ple-railroad employees IS in con-
fiict with the Constitution of this State;
aud so not within its police powers and
therefore not within the provisions Of
the Act of Congeess known as the
Wilson Act. This being the case, the
clause of the twenty-ffth section OF
the Dispepsary Act, under which the
petitioner was charged and arrested. Is
void uAder the interstate commerce
law and the fourteenth amendment.
He must be discharged from custody.
The State will probably appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
The decision will cause the discharge
of several railroad agents in various
parts of the State that have been ar
rested as Langford was. The railroad
people claim that it virtually relieves
them O; restrictions in bringing into
the State and delivering liquor.

Our POstmoetor.

OF all the postmasters who will f.
nally in the nature of things lose their
positions, it gives US pleasure to volun-
tarily say, and in justice too, that Mr..
Robert Norman is one of the very
best ever appointed. AS postmaster at
Newberry be has given satisfaction,
being attentive and courteous in the
discharge Of his duties, and no charge
can be brought against him in the
management of the Office. He has the
good will of the community and was
popular enough to receive very fiat
tering list of petitioners praying that
he be allowed to retain his position
until the natural expiration of bis term
Of Office. His assistant, Mr.. Jas. r.
Davidson, is also very efficient and ac-
commodating. With these two in the
Office, there has been no cause of COM
plant or grumbling on the part OF our
people.

SPOOKS.
The Spirits o. Bobgobins or Something
Else in Newberry County.

There are many strange things hap
pening these days, but we don't pro-
pose to let Georgia have all the glory
of the supernatural. South Carolina
must have her share and Newberry q
slice. From the day those devils were
cast into the sea to the time that that
ghost was seen on the hill Of Blue
Ruin, and since, fantastic, grotesque
and gruesome shapes or rapory sub
stances have been seen or imagined OF
felt by the superstitious or reflected by
halluciration, from the North to the
South Pole and from Beaver Dam to
CoosaW. We don't have to call up
spirits from the vasty deep now when
we want to be entertained in ghastly
ghostly though friendly nlanner. 1t
has come to pass that We have them
nearer at hand, puZziing the ignorant
and perplexing the learued-and in-
tensifying the profanity of siuncrs who
give the phenomenal a Munchausen
credit. Witchcraft aud hoodooism in
the land have evolved into higher
state of civilization and the mysterious
is now conducted with professional
polish in many parts of the country.
Still, few things occur which have a
mysteriousness about them, to say the
least, if and when they are true.
The "seapces" have commenced in
Newberry County and the spirits seem
to have materialiZed, So it has been
reported to the reporter.
Giles Sigh is colored lad about -
or IL years old, living in the FED"
Dominick section, uear the Laurens
line, and is said to have demonstrated
the fact that he is possessed OF some
power outside of that given to the or
dinary individual, unless there is soine-
thing wrong in the matter. Giles was
in field on the Griffin place, near by,
last Thursday morning, pulling fodder
with Mart Wheeler, also colored, when
all of sudden rocks Of various sizes
began falling around them. Mr.. Wal
lingsee hearing of it went over to ln-
vestigate the matter, and to his amaze
ment found the facts as reported. He
could not see where the rocks came
from. The hidden and unseen part Of
the transaction was TO him like the
wind which "bloweth where it list
eth," while he "heareth the sound
thereof" be cannot tell "whence it
cometh nor whittier it goeth," except
he knows that one of the rocks struck
him on the head. He knows that. The
next day the boy was at Mr.. Burr
Werts', the old Anderson place, about
three miles distant, when the rock
throwing feat was again accomplished.
It is said the boy can call up the
rocks at any time wherever he goes.
These incidents can be vouched for
by reliable parties.
Let the rock showers continue.

dian Springs"
Many persons in NeWberry remem.
Der very pleasantly the young lady
mentioned below.
Miss Annie Cargill visited the Misses
Glenn in Newberry on more than one
occasion and has many friends here.
The following mention is made Of
her by the Indian Spring correspon-
dent of the Atlanta Journal:
Miss Annie Cargill, of Columbus,
adds luster to every occasion with her
bright face and winning ways. She is
an accomplished musician, organist Of
the Methodist church at home and
young lady of rare culture and attain
ments."
The poem below was written by
Montgomery NJ. Folsom in the Journal
and dedicated to Miss Cargill:
THE oRGANIsT.
As she sat there in the cleaning time
and lightly touched the keys,
The music came like summer winds en-
wild and restless seas,
It was like sweet soul anodyne to sit
and hear her sing
The pretty little organist, met at H.
dian Spring!
Her pure young face and artless air
and glance betoken more
Than all life's strange experience cal
hope to hold in store.
In;God's own light she walked beneath
some Guardian Angels wing,
The happy little organist met at In
dian Spring!
I've heard the sweep of master hands
awake each sobbing note,
The melody of artful skill from many
throbbing throat;
But to my weary heart they none such
restfulness could bring,
AS the dreamy little organist I heard
at Indian Spring!
