NOTHING IN TEE CEARGES.
The Post Office Inspector Spends Two Days
In Town-Finds the Charges Against
Post Master Without Foundation.

Post Office Inspector T. j. G. Pulsi-
pher was in Newberry for a couple of
days last week looking into the man
agement of the affairs of the Newberry
post Office.
Certain parties who seem not to like
Postmaster Purcell personally, and who,
we presume, want his job, have been
making charges against him and his
administration of the Office. Hence
the Inspector was sent here to inyesti-
gate. He checked up the Office and
found everything in good shape. He
then proceeded tointerview the citizens
of the community and after thorough
investigation he found the charges with
out foundation in fact, and we Judge
win 50 report
Mr.. Pulsipher is a very pleasant gem
tleman and understands his business
thoroughly, having been in the service
fox several years.
The post Office here is well managed
and the service is as good as we have
ever had and we do net see anything
to be gained by any one bringing
charges which cannot be sustained.

selves is to furnish those whom they
teach with these hero models. The ef-
feet of character upon character, of
life upon life, must still be supreme.
Unfortunately it is not given to many
teachers to be hero models themselves.
Therefore, call the roll of the departed
great and let the shades of heroes be
summoned that more of their sort may
be bred. However, it should be borne
in mind that every great man, every
man who has risen to sublime heights,
is not a hero. The man, who, with
dirty overalls, risks his life to save
his fellowman may not be considered
great, but we know he is hero, and
we feel somehow that if we had the
same chance, we would do that
same thing.
In conclusion, the speaker pointed to
some heroes, advising the teachers to
find more and to hold them up to their
pupils. The heroes mentioned were:
Bible-Noah, Abraham, Esau, Joseph,
Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Gideon, Samson,
Ruth, David, Jonathan, Uriah, Elijah,
Job, Esther, Nehemiah, Daniel, Han
aniah, Azariah, Peter, John, Paul,
the Marys; History-Socrates, Leo
midas, Horatius, Regulus, Caesar,
Brutus, Richard, Joan of Arc, Luther,
Cromwell, Nelson, Wallace, Emmett
Columbus, LaSalle, Cortez, Washing
ton, John Paul Jones, Perry, Nathan,
Hale, Marion, Sumter, Old Hickory,
Lincoln, Grant, Lee, Jackson; Poetry
and Fiction-Ivanhoe, Enoch Arden,
Sydney Carton, Damon and Pythias.
The speaker told somewhat of the
heroric in the life of each. and strongly
urged his hearers to complete the list.
The next most important thing was for
each teacher to be supplied with list
of stories, containing beautiful lessons
of heroism and morality.

millions, and he will continue doing so
for years to come. 1t is impossible to
describe the antics of the boy, and the
means he finds to make an audience en-
joy his practical jokes. He will give
full play to his spirits at the opera
house on Friday night, the 10Th, and
will be supported in his endeavors by a
strong cast and one of the largest lists
of speciality artists ever seen in musi-
cal farce comedy. Be sure and see the
boy this time. He is funnier than ever
before.

A Good show.

5 HI Henry s Minstrels, which appeared
In the opera house Saturday night, gave
probably the best minstrel show seen
IN NeWberry for the past several sea-
sons. The scenery was beautiful, the
songs were good, and the jokes were
clean and new. The premier come
dian, Billy Clark, was especially good
and Geo. S. Van, In his song: "a Thou
sand Leagues Meath the Sea" richly
deserved the repeated encores which he
received. The acrobatic features were
up TO the high standard of the whole
performance. In short, the whole show
was a good one, and the exceptionally
large audience which greeted it was
well pleased. =

Judge Hunt.

The following from the editorial
column of the Anderson Mail of Sunday
win be read with agreat deal of pleasure
by Newberry people:
Hon. w. III. Hunt of Newberry,
who presided oyer the special term of
court here for the part two weeks,
made wonderfully fine impression
upon Anderson people.
The lawyers say that he is learned
In the lawthat he is learned in the
law as laid down IN the books and is
familiar with the practice land that
with his natural Judicial temperament
he has made an ideal presiding officer.
The attendants upon the court
jurors, litigants, witnesses and court
employees say that there never was a
judge who was more courteous and
considcrate, who took a more genuine
interest in promoting the comfort and
convenience of those about the court.
And with it all he has dispatched busi-
ness rapidly and easily and satisfac-
torily.
PERSONALLY Judge Hunt is a warm
ing gentleman. He possesses that
magnetism which attracts friends
quickly and holds them.
This has been, we believe, his first
visit of any consequence to Anderson.
He has made fine impression upon
our people and he win receive warm
welcome when he comes again. May
he come again come often and stay
long
