and liberal in all his transactions.
Combining these qualities with great

oping into one Of Newberry's most
successful business men and becoming

Mr.. Preston S. Brooks, who lived
about miles from Newberry, was taken
suddenly i'll last Wednesday morning
and died within half an hour. He was
4S years old. The Coroner was notified

heart disease.
George Ciary who had his foot sawed
while working for Mr.. NJ. NJ. Satter-

as we understand, seemed to think
there was something crooked about the
transaction, and the coroner was noti'
fed, so on Monday the body was ex'
humed and an inquest held, but no
evidence was adduced further than that
lock jaw was the cause of death.

A NEW METHODIST CHURCH.
A New Start to be Taken-The Members
Getting Interested-There IL Certainly
Need to 30 to Work.

That Newberry needs some new
church buildings scarcely needs to be
stated. 1t is certainly selt-evldent
proposition and needs no argu ment to
establish it. That the church mem
bers are amply able to build them we
do not believe any one will seriously
question. Whether they are willing to
make the sacrifice necessary to do the
work is another question. We would
be very glad indeed to see some new
church buildings begun and COM
pleted. The Methodists and Lutherans
both have very beautiful building lots
and all that is needed is the building.
Both these congregations have been
talking about building, but so far 1t
has only been talk.
Last Sunday the Methodist copgre-
CATION held meeting and had report
from the building com mittee, which we
give below. AS will be seen, wor K, or
effort, has been suspended, but from
what we can gather the sentiment OF
the membership now is to resume effort
and begin work during the present
wear. All that is needed is to make a
beginning and the work will be done;
We hope the start will be made and
possibly it will be stimulus or en-
couraeement for the Lutherans to DO
likewise. There is no town that we
know of, of the size and Importance OF
Newberry, that has such poor church
buildings. 1t is not because OF lack
of interest in church matters, but siq-
ply because there has not been start
made in this direction. we hope the
matter will not be delayed much
longer,

Mr.. Forrest Lake has just been re-
elected unanimously as Mayor of Sar'
ford, Fla.
The Sanford Chronicle says: mayor
Forrest Lake had no opposition, and
he was the recipient of the entire vote
cast at the polls; though it is curious
fact that had but one single vote been
cast for him still be would have been
elected. Mayor Lakes vigorous admin
istration of municipal affairs, his action
and efectual warfare against crime
ard disorder, as we'll as his popular
manner, insured his succession to a
second term, and as these facts were
generally conceded, DO opposition was
made to him. Thus is his policy en-
dorsed."
