PROSPERITY, 5. C., March 9Th, 1901
! The snow is Sone-the weather Is beaut.
ful now. and the plow IS putting III some
fine work.
The attendance at the churches vestc-.
day was good.
The fruit which bloorled so early is evi-
IDENTIFY killed Fortunately only YER
small percentage was in bloom.
The trade Of the town is fair for this sea
son Of the year, and if politicians and
de1nagoSueS were all dead, we would be
happy and serene.
last Friday night we had the exquisit"
pleasure Of hearing Gen. !. +. Gorden dt
liver his famous lecture Oh The Last
DAYS Of the Corfederacv." twas beyond
doubt. the most sublime, grand and elo-
Quent lecture that ever had the pleas
urc Of listening to. To attempt to describe
it would De to attempt to paint the suns
rays on canvass. do sincerely hope the
veterans Of NcWberrv County will BY some
means be able to secure Gen. Gorden to
deliver this famous lecture in the city Of
Newber-v I wish every man, woman
and Young person could hear il.
Prosperity is now the best cotton mar
ket in South Carolina. Recently two
cotton dealers III Columbia sent samples
of lots Of cotton to Mr. Kenneth Baker
here who promptly paid the price asked
for them. We may expect to see Charles
ton selling cotton here next. Nothing
like having live men to make live town.
Next Friday there is to be grand
rally of the faithful at the Alliance Ware
House, looking to the end Of establishing
al organ to grind out special music for
special political demagogues. No heretics
are invited only the faithful. The call
is in the form Of a circular letter emanat-
ing from the Rev. J. a. Sigh. The in
vestmenl is to bring such glitterirg re-
turns that j, was thought polite by Mr..
Sigh not to publish the call in the county
papers, as these papers 1nignt expose his
little subtle game and open the eyes Of
'the faithful" and attack his unwar-
ranted, unjust and even his incorrect as
sertions. Oh, no. it would not do to
publish this call in the county papers, but
this leader of ''the faithful circulates his
circular to the faithful alone. None but
''the faithful are to enter the gates Of the
Ware House. None but "the faithful
are to have stock in this lucrative invest
ment. There is certainly no objections
to the establishing of All organ here or
any where else, but we do earnestly pro-
test against the plan that Mr.. Sigh IS
seeking to use. He has organized srs-
tenn Of boycotting against Mr.. K. l..
Whites, a Young man who has just at
tanned TO his majority, and who has just
begun life on his own account by securing
the management of the Press and Report
er. Mr.. Sigh has advised subscribers to
"drop'' that paper, "stop it, at once.
Don't deny this Mr.. Sigh, l have the
proofs. Before there was a single issue of
the paper, Mr.. Sligh asserted that ''it IS
another stab at the farmer" Don't deny
it, Mr. Sigh, you said it, and you must
have known it was incorrect when YOU
uttered it. Now I cannot conceive why
man Of Mr. Sligh's position and influence
would endeavor by word and act to crush
and ruin the aspirations and prospects of
young man beginning life, who has
never injured Mr.. Sligh or any one else,
politically, physically or any other man
ner. One not knowing Mr.. Sigh would
naturally suppose from the very nature Of
his calling that he would be friend to
any young man who was struggling for
livelihood, instead Of trying to crush him
for life. Maybe there is day Of retribu-
ton coming. We are not happy and
serene when we contemplate such acts.
NU-BE.
