Gleanings about Newberrians Here, Their
and Everywhere.
Editor Petty of the Carolina Spartan
carries q fountain of "reminiscences il

last week the names Of several person
whom Newberrians delight to remem
Der:

His Thigh Broken.
The Newberry friends of Mr.. A. J
Sproles Of Greenwood will regret Il
learn that he met with an accident neal
Honea Path on Wednesday last. HI
and Mr.. Shannon of Donalds were trav
e!ling in buggy. Mr.. Shannon got
out to see friend when the horse be
came frightened and ran away, throw
ing Mr.. Sproles out of the buggy anc
breaking bis thigh bone. He was car
ried into house near by and made as
comfortable as possible and received
medical attention at once. We hope
his recovery will be speedy and com
plete.
DR.. Pope and the Governorship.
The Newberry Herald and News
truly says: $50 far DR.. Pope comes the
nearest to being genuine Democrat ol
all who have announced their candi.
dacy for Governor DR.. Pope seems
to be a fair, frank man who is not
afraid to express his convictions; there
fore, the multitude will not follow him.
They seem to prefer the other kind.
They want leaders who will abuse the
old ring crowd, find fault with Cleve-
land and make constant and malig.
nant ipsinuations against the Demo
cratic party. DR.. Pope is not that sort
of man and he will have to take a
back seat along with the Conservatives.
This paragraph about Dr.. .Pope's Dem
ocracy comes from the Carolina Spar
tan.
Good Times in Georgia
e. P. Dickert, formerly of Newberry,
S. c., having taken lease Of the Vida
liza hotel, took possession en- the frat
instant. MIR. Dickert has made i'm
provements ali round, and We can ssfe-
ly say that those who patronize him
will have no cause to complain. G. P.
was formerly employed with Pearson
Brothers in the capacity Of book
keeper, and he and his excellent wife
are too well and fayorably known to our
citizens to need any introduction from
Us, but we commend the Vidalia hotel
to the travelling public as place
where they will get q square deal and a
good meal.
The above is from the Vidalia (Ga.)
Star. The II. and n. is glad to, hear of
G. P. DIS prosperity.
The Cow and the India Rubber Ball.
Mr.. Shockley's cow took part in
game Of ball last Thursday at Helena
that came very near proving disastrous
to her. The children were playing ball
on the Helena Commons where the
cow was grazing, and In tossing the
ball it rolled on thegrass near the COW.
She took it in her mouth and began to
chew it. It was an India rubber ball,
and when she began to masticate the
children were greatly amused and
said among themselves that she was
chewing gum. But it wasn't 80 funny
to the COW, for she got the bail down
her throat and it began to choke her.
Some of the citizens who were en-
enjoying the cool breeZes on their
porches soon came to the help of the
COW and the relief of the children. A
hoe handle was brought into play
and an attempt made to drive the ball
down the cows throat like loading
gun in the old-fashioned manner. This
procedure only complicated the affair,
and another method was tried. The
cows mouth was held open by putting
q piece of wood between her jaws, and
some melted lard poured down her
throat. Then, while little boy reached
for the bali with hand thrust arm
length in the cows mouth, the bali
was gradually loosened and pressed
forward by rubbing from the outside
until within reach Of the boys fingers
when the work of extracting the ball
vas successfully accomplished, and he
was rewarded with twenty-five cent.
piece for what he did. It was all very
peculiar to. the COW; and she is now
only fond Of her kind Of bawl.
The Citadel Boys.
The Herald and News made men-
ion last week that Cadets Cozby and
johnson had completed the course at
;he Citadel. They must teach two
years in the public schools because
