THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Well Equipped and Ready for Bmergen-
cieS.--Actual Tests Which Have
Been Made.

Newberry now has as good andY as
well equipped fire department as can be
found in any city her size in the South
The building which was completed
several weeks ago is modern and COM
piete in every particular. On the first
floor are kept the hose wagon and the
horses. Upstairs is room set apart
for the use of the members of the com.
pany, and there are two small rooms
in the rear for the use of the driver
and those on duty. These are connect
ed by a brass pole with the downstairs.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
horses have been in use for only
few weeks they are we'll trained
and know exactly what is re-
quired of them. On an actual test,
with the doors closed and the horses in
their stalls, the building has been clear
ed in thirty seconds after the alarm
was turned in. Of this time only
twelve seconds was required to harness
the horses and put them to the wagon
That is almost as quick time as
|
the drivers say that in a few more
weeks they are going to cut it down
considerably. Joe, the largest one of
the horses, who was sick last week, is
all right a~ain and is taking as much
pleasure in .is duties as ever. Both
horses are beautiful ones, we'll matched
in every way, and are easily handled.
The members of the company have
become very much attached to them,
and accord them full privileges of men,
bership in the company. Each men,
ber takes personal pride in their
beauty and great strength, and if a
person has anything against them which
he wants to say, it would be advisable
for him not to put his thoughts into words
if there is an Excelsior within hearing
This is as it should be. For a long
time Newberry has not paid enough
attention to her fire department. The
department, however, has always been
prompt, and it's work in almost every
instance has proved effective. Within
the past ten years there have been
very few losses by fire in this city
where it was at all possible for any
company to prevent. The equipment
of the department at present is one in
which the members of the company
may and do take pride. Encouraged
and supported by the citizens, their
work will be such that the fire insur-
ance companies may fear little in this
direction.

HOME FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Sergeant Vance G. PearSOll Who Was
Promoted From the Ranks Talks In
terestingly of Affairs IN the
Orient.

Sergeant Vance G. Pearsoll, who has
been in the United States Army for the
past two years, the latter fourteen
months of which time was spent in the
Philippine Islands, returned home this
week.
Sergeant Pearsoll was a member of
Co. B., First Regiment S. c. ", in the
Spanish-American war. This company
was composed almost exclusively of
Newberry boys and was commanded by
Capt. w. S. Langford. When the
Spanish-American war was over Ser
geant Pearsoll returned to Newberry.
Six months later he enlisted in Troop
b., 11th Cavalry, u. S. A., and few
months after went with his command
to the Philippines.
He was first stationed in the island
of Samar and was in that place when
General "Hell Roaring Jake Smith, I"
as he is commonly known, issued his
Infamous order to kill and burn. Ser
geant Pearsoll says that the order was
carried out by the soldiers until it was
revoked, and they were glad when it
was.
From Samar he was transferred to
Manila, and from Manila about $50 miles
to the interior. He was engaged in sew
eral skirmishes and was promoted from
troop blacksmith to Sergeant which
position he held when honorably dis
charged on the 18th of October last.
When asked about the condition of
the islands at present he said that the
natives were thoroughly conquered,
but are sullen and restless, and will
always give trouble. He said he
wouldn't give three cents" for the
whole group of islands as they now
are, because he doesn't believe the
Filipinos will ever be subject to any
government save one of force.
Sergeant Pearsoll was asked about
the water cure, which it is charged was
given the Fiipinos in order to make
them divulge secrets. He said he had
seen it given, and it generally had the
desired result. Water was poured in
to the subject until he could stand no more
and then it was pressed out, and if the
secret didn't come with it the dose was
given again.
Sergeant Pearsoll will engage in
business in Newberry with Mr.. e. II.
Leslie. His twin brother is still in the
service in the Philippines.

you sell for any one job, but will multi
ply the number Of jobs by three, four,

we can make it by putting the facts
hefoRs your fellow-townsmen.
People are going to paint more when
they find it's SO worth while to paint.
and they are going to be glad they did
1T instead of sorry, as many are now.
q. It's like making harness. He who

while it makes the roads sloppy now
they will be O. K. after awhile.

Mr.. Editor, we agree with you in
your editorial last week as to better
roads We have never seen the roads
in a worse condition than at present.
If our Legislators would travel over the
roads now they would at once do some-

Monday was a cloudy and drizzly day

With the amount of cotton seed sold

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
tion that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part Of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses Of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifies the blood, and makes you fee
buoyant and vigorous. You can get
