Chips.
Health very good.
Rain very much needed.
Crops almost Oh standstill.
The whole fruit crop the nearest
failure we ever saw.
Gardens going back-yegetables get
ting scarce.
/ Rev. V. Y. Boozer filled Rev. J. D.
Bowles' pu;piJ at Bachman Chapel
last Sunday morning. Newberry Col
lege should feel very honored by turn
ing out such nobie young divines as
the Rev. Mr.. Boozer.
A joint Sunday-school. celebration
will t2ke place between St. Philip
and R..chman Chapel Sunday-schools
some time during the summer. We
will give full particulars later.
1 don't think [ ever saw the crops
better worked up than they are at this
time. Although they are generally
small, yet there is hope of good crop.
Are we to have no candidates this
year, only for Supervisor? 1t begins to
look that way. We are rot specially
running anybody, but We will venture
to say, the rnGn that beats DR.. Werts
will get there.
Now, Mr.. Editor, DR.. Pope is in the
race for our next Governor. And be
has said that be is in the race to stay.
/ don't see how you can stay on the
fence any longer. You stated when
DR.. Pope's name was first mentioned
for Governor that if be was a candi-
date you could not 60 back on your
own county, but you wanted to take
up the man this time that would win.
1 am in hopes, Mr.: Editor. that you
still retain this same idea. 1t is true
that DR.. Pope has been a Reformer
ever since the Reform movement has
been on foot, But we must not stop TO
ask ourselves which faction he belongs
to, or what part of the faction is doing
the most damage; we must select a
man to put in front who can bring the
people back to that friendly feeling
which existed prior to the revolution
of 1890-and we feel that DR.. Pope is
the right man to do it. Why not old
Newberry County furnish the next
Governor of South Carolina? 1 know
that she has some just as good timber
as the State can afford. I am just as
much in favor of peace and harmony
throughout the State as any man on
earth; but We may preach peace until
doomsday, and we will never have it
until the minority is willing to fall in
line with the majority. When we
select men to fill such honorable, re-
sponsihle and high positions, we should
select Just such men as Dr. Pope, whose
heart has always been in the upbuild-
ing and success of his country and
ambition has always been to do the
greatest good to the greatest number.
Now I want to see every man put his
shoulder TO the wheel and roll up
solid vote from Newberry County for
DR.. Pope.
To the School Commissioner, Hon.
Thos. w. Keitt-Dear Sir: Will you
answer the following questien-In
calling meeting Of any school district
1Qr the purpose of levying an extra
SCHOOL tax, only freeholders of said dis
trict, the law says, are allowed to sign
a petition. Under this head are women
who are freeholders allowed to sign
such petitionsa If so, are they allowed
TO vote?
It is always a source of pleasure to
attend entertainments when everybody
goes for pleasure, and good order pre-
walls. Then we say it was pleasure
for US to attend the closing exercises of
the Prosperity High School on last
Thursday night. The programme was
taken up as laid down in last weeks
Herald and News. We thought we
thought we had started. in plenty of
time to secure seat, but after We had
arrived and made all effort to get into
the house we found every space of
room so completely packed we did not
have as much as elbow room. So, Mr..
Editor, you need not expect much of a
report from 8 correspondent who was
jammed in a crowd of, possibly, more
than five hundred people, aud had to
stand up all the time with his eyes full
of dust and sand. But anyhow we
must say that the exercises were so
complete that we enjoyed the occasion
very much. At first, Prof. Counts
made very earnest appeal 10 the au-
dience for good behavior during the
exercises-and Notwithstanding the
uncomfortable condition of the crowd
very good order prevailed. The brave
and noble manner in which the pupils
all acquitted themselves, reflects much
honor upon their teachers; it shows
hnf TINA hoo hnon onora1 fha
development of the bright intellects.
The music furnished by the Prosperity
string band, which was led by Rev,
T. O. Keister, added much to the en-
joYment Of the OCCASION.
There are no better indications OF
thrift and: enterprise IN town OF
community than, its churches and
schools-and in both Prosperity takes
very high rank.
We sometimes think, after putting in
from twelve to fifteen hours of actual
farm labor a day, that it would be
quite pleasant to live in town and
enjoy Some of the pleasures and lux
urIes Of town life, such as taking in q
cooler when you get too bot, and to see
DR.. Pelham put on some of his cour.
teous smiles; to step out of your place
of business with your high heel patent
shoes, cutaway coat, standing collar
fried shirt, and great big-legged pants
o., with your shoefy dangling in tbe
air; also with your head back and 9
cigarette rammed in one side OF your
mouth just making the smoke fly
then order your cutie TO make the
wheels roll for a few hours of pleasure
in the open air. Some Of you who
have always experienced such life
just tell me If this isn't happy STATE
to live in. Now don't have though
that I am the least envious Of single
soul that is fortunate enough to enjoy
! such pleasures. This is all very nice
80 long as you can keep down th'
