GUARANTEE ON BAGS:
Rumored Caucuses.

It was rumored here that during the
meeting of the District Alliance last
week at Newberry that several caucuses
were held on political matters, and
that some conclusions were reached as
to whom Mr.. Latimer was to give his
influence for postmasters at Newberry
and Prosperity. No doubt these mat
ters were talked over with Mr.. Lati-
mer, and those who are wanting the
places, or at least some of them, made
known their wishes to him and tried
to impress him with their needs and fit
ness for the positions. The Herald and
News does not believe any conclusion
was reached.
Mr.. Latimer told US that two things
especially would be considered by him
in his recommendations for such posi-
tions and in the use of whatever infu-
ence he might have.
First and foremost in the appli
cant would be his fitness for the
place and his ability to fill it
and his acceptability to the people
whom be would serve. And then the
needs of the applicant. other things
being considered. In other words if a
disabled Confederate soldier who was
competent and efficient and acceptable
should be an applicant, he would give
such one his endorsement. AS yet he
does not know who all will be appli-
cants and of course cannot make up his
mind before hand. Judging from this
position of Mr.. Latimer we should say
that no conclusion had yet been reached
by him.
He has in his possession already
number of applications for the post
Office at NeWberry, and some from
persons who live several miles from
the postoffice.
None of the applicants need yet des-
pair, for there is still hope.

Noble Generosity Of hon. Geo. 8.
Mower.

The temperance Band of Hope cele-
brated lis anniversary yesterday after
noon.
The spacious hall was beautifully
decorated with evergreen and flowers;
the large portrait of Mrs. G.. Mower,
who was for a long time president CT
the society, was wreathed in evergreen,
and a large white ribbon bow, the
badge of the society, was placed on one
corner of the frame Of the portrait.
The programme was very interest
ing one, each of lie children taking
part in it, doing the hemselves credit.
The following is the programme:
1st. Singing by all the children.
2nd. Scripture reading by the Presi-
dent, Mrs. Sophia Redus.
Sd. Prayer by Rev. 6. A. Wright.
4th. Singing by choir, "Glorious bat
tie ground
5th. Recitation by five children,
(which is best"
9th. Sweet little recitation by little
five year old Joe Nell Dennis.
eth. Original composition on 1.-The
effect of tobacco on the human SYSTEM"
by Aumerle Schumpert.
Sth. Address to society by Rev. 4. 2.
McClintock.
9th. Solo and chorus, Throw out the
life line"
10th. Distribution of presents.
Rev. E. P. McClintock's address was
very interesting, among other things Of
interest, he told the children of Mr..
Geo. S. Mowers interest in the work
for temperance; how he had given and
furnished the nice hall in which they
be their meetings, of his kindness in
having the portrait of his mother, their
former president, made for their hall,
and also his kindness in furnishing the
money necessary to carry on this great
and good work, and for giving them
such nice treats as he does every year
in the shape of such beautiful books
and delightful confections.
Mr.. McClintock's address was lis
tened to with marked attention
throughout. 1t was very interesting
indeed.
We have no doubt that this society,
so ably conducted by Mrs. Mower, and
since her death by Mrs. Redus, will
eventually accomplish great deal Of
good to. the whole of our community.
Long may the Band of Hope live
and flourish.

Who Will be Senator from Newberry
County?

From the Press and Reporter.
We must have friend to the Reform
Party, one who has been with us from
the beginning; been tried and found
true. I desire to nominate one who has
served US in the Lower House, fulfill
ing all Of his pledges to the Reform
Party, has made clear record, and by
that record proved himself an able
debator, a strong advocate, and skill
full Parliamentarian, all Of which it
takes to qualify one for the position. I
refer to our friend and advocate Cole

mers paper of South Carolina speaks Of
him as follows: 1.-THE many friends of
Mr.. Blease are anxious that he be made
the successor of Senator Sigh. Mr..
Blease is a brilliant young man, and
has faithfully and fearlessly represented
his constituents. Newberry County
cannot find better Senator"

GOOD NEWS
FOR GARDENERS

Everybody wants a good gar
den, but everybody does not have
one, mainly because many buy
seeds Of doubtful terminating
value. You can always get pure
seeds, fresh seeds, at Pelham's S
Drug Store. According to annual
custom Pelham has destroyed, by
fire, all papers unsold Of 1892
purchases; he offers new seed,
each paper dated 1898, and
stamped D. Landreth & Son.

At the Opera House.

Heywood's Celebrities had pretty
fair audience On Monday night, which
made up in enco.s what it lacked in
appreciation. Each Of the parts was
done in solo, and a Newberry audience
dotes on quartettes, although the cor
net duet was splendid. Chevalier Med
ziclinski gave wonderful performance
on his violin. Signor Visina had good
voice in Italian song, but English is fai
more preferable.
The most charming part was the
dramatic impersonations Of Miss Eliza
beth Gleason. Her recitation Of Ben
Hur in the chariot race was splendid.

DEAR SIR-According to promise I
send you herewith result of my expert
ment with your fertilizer on one acre Of
corn:
In winter broadcast 100 bushels of
cotton seed and turned it under; first of
May bedded out land and put in water
furrow compost of 400 pounds Of your
Acid Phosphate, 80 bushels cotton seed,
with some rough lot manure, ridging
on this. On 2lst of May split this ridge
and dropped the corn six to ten inches,
and put in the drill 200 pounds of your
Alkaline Guano. When corn was about
hand high I ran around the corn; the
rain set in and continued about eight
weeks. Between showers I went in
with plow and put in two more fur
rows, adding in drill 200 pounds more
of Alkaline Guano; at last of the wet
season I put two furrows in the middle
with heel-sweep, running shallow.
After this eight weeks of wet weather
we had a protracted dry spell for eight
weeks, with no rain except one light
shower. The corn fired up where it
had been holding too much water in
the wet season.
do not know how much fodder
got-it was great deal.
I gathered the corn and measured
every ear of it. I measured eighty-four
bushels. When I set out in the Spring
T wanted to make 100 bushels on one
acre, and with the manure used and
good work and good seasons, I could
have made my 100 bushels.
The way the season was the last
manuring did no good. Eight weeks
of wet weather, with only six.furrows,
and they putin too wet, I made eighty
four bushels.
The cost of manure, guano, cotton
seed and labor all was $3.50.
had fourteen acres of corn planted
besides, and not manured as we'll. I
gathered 555 bushels. My cotton crop
was poor; will not quite average bale
to the acre. Yours truly,
W. II. WALTON.
