!. An Appeal to ProhibitIonists to Rally.
To the Friends of Prohibition:

To the Friends of Prohibition:
We now have what we might call
accidental prohibition in our State.
How long this state of affairs will last
the majority of US cannot tell, but it
is safe 10 say that there may be a
change in very short time. But we
must not stop to consider when the
change will come, nor what it will be.
We must get to work and not lose the
slight advantage already gained.
We must meet the liquor question
this year fairly and courageously. De.
feat means the silencing Of prohibition
for years, perhaps for generation to
come.
I have recently heard from different
sections of our county, and am assured
that there is strong sentiment in favor
of a practical prohibition law.
There seems to be majority of our
people who are opposed to licencse
system Of any kind.
The license system, no matter what
kind it may be, should not return. 1tis
in the power of the people to prevent it.
Now in order to get the question proni-
nently before the people, it is earnestly
requested that all who favor q State
prohibition law will meet in the Court
House at Newberry at II o'clock on the
first Monday in June.
The purpose Of the convention will
be to send eight delegates to the State
Convention in Columbia, and to attend
to any other business that may come
up.
1t is to be distinctly understood that
this call is for Democrats of both fac
tions.
Partisan politics will be ignored. Let
US meet for the sole purpose OF advanc-
ing the best interest of our county.
Respectfully,
ARTHUR KELLER,
Chairman Prohibition EX. Com.

Why Not Encourage BONE Talent

The Herald and News is a great
stickler forsticking to home institutions
and giving encouragement to all home
and local talent and enterprise. In this
way only can We build up our town
and county. New berry College is a
home institution and we have always
given it our hearty support and encour
agemept. We want to see it succeed
and so do the citiz-ns ofNewberry. We
think, however, when Newberry Col
lege could help any other local institu-
ton she should do it, for we are all here
together and we should help and en-
courage one another. Last year the
Newberry band was not given the
music for Commencement for the rea-
son that a brass band was not wanted.
This year we have an orchestra, and it
furnishes very good music, and several
of its members are students Of the COL
lege. The music committee decided TO
send to Columbia for the music at twice
The cost, because the Newberry orches-
ira is too young, after having asked
them to put in bid. The Herald and
News is free to say that in its opinion
the music committee should have
awarded the music to the Newberry
boys, not so much for the money that
is in It, but to encourage home talent.
When there is any free show, then the
Newberry boys are always in demand,
and when we have somethingin which
there is a little money we should not
give them the 60 by. We say again
why not encourage home talent? Why
send to Columbia for music when We
have good music right here at home?

DESTRUCTIVE BAIL STORM.
Newberry the Centre of An Icy Downpour
Great Damage to Vegetables.

The most destructive hail storm e. er
known in Newherry occurred on last
Friday afternoon at , O'Clock. It laid
ita predecessors of '69, 'S4 and 80 com.
ple.ely in the shade.
Tie hail fell thick and fast and COM
plete y covered the ground. Hailstones
rs large as guinea Eggs were picked up
by many persons who had never seen
the like, and there was an abundance
of such size, but most Of the hail was
about as large as marbles.
The storm was local in its range, ard
was not very heavy in Helena. 1t was
about two miles in Width, and extende d
five miles in the direction Of Pros
perity.
Newberry was in the very centre of
the storm. The greatest damage in
town was done to VI getahle gardens,
which presented devastated condition
when the storm had ceased to pour its
peltiug ice upon the plants. C,rn was
torn into ribbons; beans heaten TO the
earth; tomatoes cat in twain; cucum-
bers, squashes and watermelons almost
ruined.
Gotten around town was damaged
somewhat where it had been chopped
out, and planting is nece .'sary; but here
also the damage is not as great as was
thought at first.
The thermometer on Monday morn
ing Was q degrees, which is the frost
line, but the ground was lot cold
enough for frost to form here.
The ''oldest inhabitant" remembers
that it frosted five times in May, 1868,
the dates being from the 18th to the
Goth.
