The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1902-03-14

HOt meet other expenses, not saying
:nything about reducing the mortgage
over her home. She came to me and
tatcd her condition, and also said that
she had rome 70 the conclusion to try
the cotton mills at Newberry: said she
that if she could make sup
port with what her two children could
help, the oldss, only being about nine
wears old, that she would rent out the
farm and pay the mortgage; otherwise,
if she stayed on the farm and tried to
make a support the mortgage would eat
up the land and leave her without q
home. I told her that I thought that
she had come to wise conclusion anc
taken very sensible view Of her situ-
alton. The woman stuck to this con-
clusion, went to the Newberry cotton
mills last August four years ago, TAX
ing ner two oldest children with her
into the mill. Since that time she has
not only lifted the mortgage, but also
made decent support, added to her
house furniture more than double, be-
sides paying out between $50 and SS5
for improvements on her dwelling.
Today she works three of her children
with herself in the mills and makes an
average OF sS6 per month. Now this is
no bearsay. I could point out the Wiz
man in mention, if it was necessary,
and Mr.. T. J McCrary would certify
to the fact as to what she is making.
Now suppose your Child Labor Bill had
been in operation, that poor woman
could not have possibly had home to-
night. We heartily endorse every word
Representative Banks said.
We notice among the list OF prospect
i've candidates the name of Geo. S.
Mower for Congress. It would not only
be a credit 10 this Third Congressional
District, but would reflect much honor
to the whole State to send Geo. S.
Mower to Congress. We don't want to
be represented at our National govern
ment as a set of Psgaus and prize fight
ers. Dear people, we are responsible
for the kind of material that comp ses
our government. Mr.. Mower is not
only an able man Intellectually, but he
is Christian gentleman.
Dr.. Armstrong will preach sermon
next Sunday at Colony on The Power
of Thought. We hope the weather will
be favorable, and that large congre-
cation will turn out. This is a deep
subject; it reaches a long ways. On
the fifth Sunday we will have commu-
MON services and DR.. Armstrong will
preach his farewell sermon, and, as we
understand, will leave for his new home
on Monday following The members
of Colony had become very much at
tached to Rev. Armstrong during his
two years. stay with US, and he can
have the consolation to know that he
has done q good work. We are sorry
to give him up, but trust that his good
work will continue and that much good
will crown his 1abors wherever he goes
I believe that l told neighbor not
long since that this would be good
year. What I mean is, a prosperous
year. He called on me for my reason
for thinking so. I told him one OF my
reasons was that we bad been bothered
less with agents than we had ever been
to my knowledge.
Planting time is almost here. This
is another double crop year. A great
big crop of candidates is to be planted
now soon in the newspaper Offices.
Push tells us that J A. G. Kibler is to
run for Sub Supervisor. We are not
specially running candidates, but we
can endorse every word Push says in
praise of Mr.. Kibler. If we were in
the betting business we would bet our
last plum on John making a good
officer.
Rev. p. 81. E. Derrick preached last
Sunday evening at Bachman Chapel
according to previous announcement.
Rev. Derrick's sermon was quite inter-
estirg, and was complimented by a
good many. We took some notes with
the intention of commenting upon his
discourse, but our time forbids. Be-
sides we promised once before not to
make our letters too long. There will
be communion services st the above
named church on the fifth Sunday OF
Ghis month, with preparatory services
on Saturday evening previous. The
congregation elected Mr.. R. N. Taylor
as delegate to conference which con.
venes at Prosperity Grace church, en-
bracing the fourth Sunday Of this
month.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Bobb and chill
dren, of Saluda, visited their parents

Our daughter, Corrie, in company
with her brothers, Joseph and Holland,
visited relatives in the Long Lane Sec
ton last Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Mahaley Werts returned home
last Sunday from two weeks stay
