There was peculiar case before JUS
tice Fellers last week. It was case
where one negro indicted another for
perjury. What an idea! The Justice
very properly, we think, turned the ac-
cused free.
Last Saturday night our household
was treated to musical serenade by a
part of the Prosperity Orchestra. The
strains of music were sweet and enjoy
able. Come again, young gentlemen.
The orchestra has made remarkable
proficiency under the skillful training
of Rev. Kelster, an instrumental mu-
sieian of no ordinary attalnments.
Prosperity Is proud of her orchestra,
and will respond to their needs when
called upon. Newberry College would
do we'll to secure their services for
Commencement next June.
It is always source Of pride to see
NeWberriaps appointed to, or in any
manner occupying, high positions OF
honor and trust, but the appointment
of our friend and fellow-citizen, Mr..
J. Malcolm Johnstone, by President
Cleveland, to the Consulship at Per-
nambuco, gives US exceesiDg pleasure:
1t is an appointment on account of
real worth and merit, and a high
honor conferred, not only on Mr.. John=
stone himself, but upon Newoerry
County and the State of South Caro-
lima. Guess MIR. Latimer didn't have
much to do with this appointment.
The Press and Reporter, by mutual
consent of Mr.. Cape:s and the Stock
hol .ers, has changed hands. Mr.. Robt.
L. Whites, young man of experience
in the printing business has ta!ten
charge Of the paper and perquisites.
Mr.. Capers will remain in the employ
of Mr.. Whites for while at least. The
paper belongs to a joint Stock Com.
pany, who have never realized copper
upon their investment, hence there is
no sell out, "push out" or "kick out"
, but only a simple business transaction,
, in simple business Way, between Mr.
Capers. the stockholders and Mr. r. l..
Whites. A simple change Of the busi-
ness management. [ understand that
the paper is to be an organ for nobody,
and no class, but WILL be CONDUCTED
/ strictly OF tne broad Alliance principle
> of Equal rights to all, but special
: privileges to no one." 1t is to be a
t newspaper in the strictest sense, for ali
f the people OF whatsoever class or con.
r dition, steering clear of all factional
politics-standing squarely and fairly
. on the National Democratic platform.
