BRILLIANT MUSICAL EXERCISES.
A Newberry Lady Highly Complimented
In Charlotte, N. c., at Elizabeth
College.

The Charlotte Observer of the 10th
instant, has the following to say of
Miss Lille Belle Hallrnan, daughter OF
Rev. S. T. Hallman, of this city, who
is a member Of the senior class in
music at Elizabeth College, Charlotte,
N. c., and her many friends here will
read with delight the nice things said
of her:
Last evening at Elizabeth College
two of the seniors in music, Misses Lii
lie Belle Hallman and Ora May Hoffman
gave pianoforte recital. They were
assisted by Misses Ashe Gaddy and
nellie Watkins.
Each number was rendered by the
young ladies with the power and skill
that gave evidence of careful training
and natural talent
In Miss Hallman's playing the chief
points that were noted were her clever
Interpretation of her numbers, her ex-
cellent technique and her ease and
grace at the piano. Miss Hallman is a
native of Newberry, S. c., and has
been four years at Elizabeth College.
Both young ladies are pupils of Miss
Ruth McLinn and she has good reason
to be proud of her two students. Dur
ing the years of their study under her
they have gained much of the excel
lence of her own technique and ex-
preston.

THE MAYORS COURT.
Many Offenders Before the Court Wednes-
day Morning Fines Aggregate
Over Hundred Dollars.

Wednesday was a big day in the
Mayors Court, and some of the negroes
who have been making night hideous ir
the neighborhoods where they live were
taught lesson that they will not soon
forget.
A gang of negroes, among the num-
Der being Thurman Kelly, Jno. Davis,
Charley Aiken, Anna Glasgow, Tenny
! Whitener, Thomas Simpkins, Tom Fry,
Matte Henderson and jamie Gallman,
were up on charge of singing, hollering
and creating general disturbance near
the heart of the city on last Friday
night, complaint having been made
! against them by citizens of the town
who were disturbed by them. Eight of
them were convicted and sentenced to
SIS or 80 days on the chaingang. The
case against Charley Aiken was dis
missed.
Tom Fry, Ed Williams and Anna
Glasgow, all colored, were convicted of
cursing and fighting. Sentence Tom
Fry and Ed Williams $40 or 80 days on
'iiS Siit@hi gang ctiCli. hilIld Il1SSOW
So or 8 days in the guard house.
Tobe Brown and Pink Allen had a
light Monday night and as aresult Tobe
contributed $40 to the city, in preference
to spending 30 days on the county roads.
Pink was fined So or 8 days. He paid
up.
Sue and Ellen Hardy, colored, exer-
cised their muscles by throwing irons,
pokers and the like at each other.
Ellen fought in self defense for which
she paid 81, and Sue was given SIS or 80
days. She is resting behind the bars.
Tom Fry refused to pay street duty,
preferring to oserve 80 days additional on
the chain gang.
Thurman Kelly, another negro who
has never been known to work, refused
to pay street duty, and went TO the
gang.
The result of the past few days court
represents something like 500 in cash
to the town treasury, and upwards of
300 days work for the town on the chain
gang.
Policeman Koon Wednesday after
noon carried Randolph Williams to the
gang for months; Thurman Kelly for
GO days, and Tom Fry for 90 days.
Truly, the way of the transgressor is
hard.

A Capital Idea.

1t has been suggested that the trustees
Of the Graded School take up the mat
ter of purchasing the vacant lot in
front Of the school building and utiliz-
ing it for play ground or park for the
school children. One enterprising citi-
zen has signified his willingness to con-
tribute 500 as his share towards sccur-
ing the lot for this purpose, and others
doubtless will contribute literally if the
movement is put on foot and pushed in
the proper manner. What saye the
trustees?

Letter to G. w. Summer, Newberry, S.


Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how a woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men
to sell Devoc lead -and-zinc in that
bright town; and failed. Reluctantly
took Mrs. e. r. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than $l.25 a gallon. Mrs. Bow
man can. She has sold about all the
paint, that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoc; had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force,
besides; she easily learned that cheap
is dear in paint and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought a gallon De-
voc for rooms that had always taken a
gallon; had half left.
Mr.. E. II. Hiler, jewclcr, painted De-
voc, and says it goes further-no par
ticuarS.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half Of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job he ever had
Mrs. Bowman reports universal salts
faction. So much for cheap paint
town with bright woman in it.
Yours truly,

Caution I!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat and
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are so
many ordinary cough remedies made by
druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for
severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Group and
especially for Consumption, where there
is difficult cXpectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. The 25
cent size has just been introduced this
year. Regular size rs cents. For sale
