Has no Diploma.

A. J. Hall, who resides neal
Wells, this county, is one of our
best known farmers. It is said
that he is particularly gifted with
an insight to the various ailments
that aHlict animals of the farm.
While he never took out a diplo-
ma as a veterinary surgeon, he
seems to have acquired some
standing among his neighbors
for his knowledge and skill along
these lines.
Not long since he responded
to a call to attend sick hog.
Although pretty busy, he repair
ed to the place and diagnosed the
case. However, he determined
that the pig needed bleeding.
The most up-to-date method of
bleeding pig is to cut its tail off.
This Mr.. Hall proceeded to do.
The hog soon died,
Mr.. Hall used to pet the hogs
that he kept about the farm un-
til they became gentle and he
could go up to hog that was
lying down without creating any
alarm on the part of the swine.
He used to mark his hogs by
cutting the tip of OF each ear,
and when he would find one ]y-
ing down that had not been
marked he would pet it awhile,
then suddenly cut its ear off with
his jackknife, which was al
ways sharp. One day he found
hog asleep, as he supposed,
and he clipped piece out of one
ear. The porker did not show
any alarm and Mr.. Hall operated
On the other ear. To his sur
prise, it laid quietly where it
was. This made him angry at
the fool hog for taking such
calamity so calmly, so he kicked
1.-THE hog was dead.

The o. A. G. Pigskin.

Unless all signs fail, the o 4
c will put out one of the strong
est football teams in its history,
this season. The material i.
there, the coach is there, and the
enthusiasm among aspirants 70,
! gridiron laurels is all that could
be asked for. Every evening
from IS to 40 stalwart young
athletes do strenuous work fol-
nearly two hours on the new
field just south OF the armory,
and they are rapidly acquiring
knowledge of the game aud
rounding into condition.
The many enthusiasts from
down town, who occupy the new
grand stand regularly from to
5:3o p. M, declare that Coach
Herbold understands his busi-
ness from A to lizard, and that
no coach, not even excepting
Bloss, has been able to get as
much out of the men. There is
one thing certain, it will not be
the fault of the coach if O A c
dosen't Wisconsin every team it
meets this season. Bruce Bur-
nett and Charley Small, veterans
of former teams, are ably assist
ing as under coaches.
Selections have not yet been
made for places on the first team.
While many of last years team
are back, the new men are show
ing up so well that it is anybody's
race for first team. Of last years
players, Captain Gault, Bur-
naugh, Bower, Gellatly, Abrams,
Abraham, Rose, Williams, Es-
pey, Wilks, Cooper, Rinehart,
Allen, Nash, Laughlin, Winner
and Dickey, are on the field
every evening. Tharp and 9TH
ers who have represented O A c
in former seasons, are back
again, so the outlook is good.
A practice game between
picked teams will occur on the
new field October 9Th. So far
the following games have been
O A G VS.. w U, at
Corvallis, October 18th; with U
of o, November 9th, and with

ager Charles johnson is in cor
with Stanford Uni
versity, U of c, and Washington

lege, and other leading teams of

some of them will be arranged.

The success that Mr.. Leroyle and

tions for the attraction may be the
cause of canceling the date of his

Should this occur, it is to be re-
gretted, as the play, "Other Peo-

vertised and a cancellation would

Thank God for Orphans.

We have a thousand things to thank
God for. But did you ever thank Hin
for the privilege of caring for orphan
children?
It is privilege. Every orphanage is
His special care. He is the God of the
fatherless. He blesses those who bless
His little ones.
Let Jew and Gentle, Protestant and
Catholic alike, use Thanksgiving Day
for the blessed privilege of helping the
little ones of the great King.
At the Thornwell O~rphanage, Clinton,
S. c., there are two hundred of these
orphans, the little brothers and sisters
of all the great company of loving
hearts. Their parentage represents
every denomination of the church;
orphans of Masons and Odd Fellows,
Knights of Honor and Pythians, are in
the ranks of the little ones; they come
from every Southern State and some
Northern ones. No agent is in the field
begging for their support; the church
sets apart no special day for collections.
Whosoever will may help and in any
suitable way.
Send provisions simply to ''Thorn-
well Orphanage'', Clinton, S. C.
Send gifts of money to Rev. DR..
Jacobs, Clinton, S. C.
If you do not help this orphanage,
remember there are others.

tinue until every street in Newberry is

Caldwell street between Jamieson's

we would like to see Newberry county
take up the matter and put each and
every n of the county roads in good
condition. Nothing would add more to
the general prosperity and happiness of
our people.

The "evils Of official absenteeism"
seem to be worrying the editor of the
Columbia Record a good deal just at
present. While it is a fact that all
State officers ought totive in Columbia,
we do not believe affairs in the State
house are in quite as bad condition as
the Record would have us believe.
However, we would be glad to have
the Record go more into detail in re-
gard to the stringent law compelling
State officers to stay in Columbia and
devote their time to the business of the
State, which it would like to have
enacted. 1t strikes is an account of
some of it's workings, if enforced,
would make interesting reading.

A HORRIBLE TALE OF THE SEA.
Of Sixteen Persons on a Raft, But Eight
Survived.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Mails
correspondent at Wellington, N. T..
telegraphs that the eightsurvivors from
| the wreck of the British steamer Elm.
gamite, who were rescued on a raft by
the British survey steamer Penguin,
went through a dreadful experience.
The raft from which they were taken
measured only twelve feet long byseven
feet wide, and had sixteen persons on
it when it left the wreck. The only
food on board was two apples. The
first apple was consumed on Tuesday
and the second on Wednesday, each be-
ing divided into sixteen portions.
From Sunday, the day they were
wrecked, until Thursday, when they
we're rescued, the survivors drifted
xty miles on the half submerged raft.
Several attempts were made to land
on Three Kings Islands, but without
success. Three men died on Monday
night from drinking salt water. All of
the survivors suffered the tortures of
thirst, and four other men and the
stewardess died of exhaustion before
they were picked up by the Penguin.
They had a cruel disappointment on
Tuesday night. A steamerwas sighted
in the distance and frantic shouts were
by those of the raft to attract
attention. The steamer lowered a hoat, |
which passed within fifty yards of them,
but the boats crew apparently did not
zee the raft and returned to their YES
;el.
When the Penguin was sighted only
ne of the survivors was able to
tand. They were terribly emaciated.

Z. B. AULL, EDITOR.
500 GIVEN AWAY.

We want some subscriber Of The
Herald and News to bring US two
pumpkins of his own raising so that we
may use them as we did a few years
ago. We r going to give u sub
scribers the opportunity to guess at
the number of seed in the pumpkins
and we expect to give away in prizes
more than 500, the first prize to be q
handsome buggy. Everyone who pays
as much as 81. so on subscription shall
be entitled to n guess, and one guess
for each additional $3.50. Those who
have already paid shall not be cut out,
for each subscriber who has paid any
thing since the first of September shall
be entitled to a guess for each $1.5O he
has paid. And every subscriber who is
paid in advance shall have one guess,
provided, he is n year in advance at
the date of his guess.
We propose to be absolutely fair to
every subscriber and your guess can be
recorded at any time after the pump
kins are secured and we will have them
this week. The rules and prizes will
be announced in the next paper. The
prizes are absolutely free as you pay
nothing extra for the privilege of guess
ing. Now is the time to pay your sub
scription and to subscribe and take a
chance at the handsome prizes we will
give away. You remember the hand
some Rock Hill buggy we gave away a
few years ago.

A POPULAR SCHEDULE.

The present morning schedule from
Columbia and Charleston suits us alright
but the schedule that would be popular
in this section and of benefit to the PEG,
pie along the line as well as to the peo'
pie of Greenville and Columbia, woulo
be a morning train from Greenville tc
Columbia arriving in Columbia about Il
O'Clock. If the Greenville News wants
to do something that will help it and at
the same time be popular and a public
convenience and, we believe, also profit
able to the road which viii inaugurate
it, let it take up the fight for such a
schedule. It will have the cooperation
and support of the people down this
way.
Before the double service was put on
between Greenville and Columbia add
ing the early train from Columbia we
had petitions from the towns along the
line and a meeting at Greenwood at
which committees were appointed to
confer with the railroad officials and
finally the train was run. -
The editor of The Herald and News
agitated this additional schedule for a
long time and had petitions circulated
and we acted as chairman of the Green
wood meeting and chairman of the COM
mittee to confer with the railroad and
afterwards had a conference with MI.
HardWick who came to Columbia to
meet us. We have always found the
railroads ready to listen to the requests
of the people and to give all the service
they possibly can without loss. A
morning train from this section to Co
fumbia could be run with profit we be-
lieYe. We would like to e the people
along the line take the matter up and
present it to the railroads.
We have it on pretty good authority
that if the C. & W. c. would bring a
passenger train to Laurens Mr.. Childs
would arrange to take it on to Column
bia and return it in the afternoon. Here
is something for our brethren in Green
vile to take up. We know that MIR.
Childs the past summer thought very
seriously of putting on such train from
Laurens, in fact he said to US on one
occasion he was going to inaugurate it |
about. the first of August, but for some
reason he did not.
Columbia people should use their in
fuence for such a train because it would
be to their interests to have it. 1t
weuld be a god train for Greenville as
well. Let US all pull together and con-
vince the railroad it would pay and at
the same time be a public convenience.
This is the only section which does not
have a morning train to the capital.
