SPRING AND WINTER.
One One Day and the Other the Next Ex-
perlenced Saturday and Sunday
In this Section.

Saturday was beautiful spring day,
even for the Piedmont section of the
South. The air was laden with the
perfume of violets and wistaria, and
the glad-throated songsters of the for
est were serenading nature. 1t wa;
good to live here, to take delight in the
pretty skies, to bask in the warm rays
of the sun and to pity the people of
colder or hotter climes. In fact, all
was so lovely that the people feared
there must be change and consulted
the local weather prophet. He said
there would be no rain until four O clock
Sunday afternoon, and Newberry re-
tired Saturday night glad in the thought
that beautiful Sabbath morn would
greet them on their waking.
Sunday morning about four O'Clock
the rain began to fall, and by four
O'Clock Sunday afternoon it had raincd
continuously for nearly twelve hours,
and by four o'clock Monday morning
continuously for nearly twcnty-four
hours, and yesterday was not at all a
delightful day. If there ever was a
dismal, disagreeable, dark, dirty, mud
dy. stay-in-doors day, Sunday was it.
Rain poured from lcadcn clouds, the
mercury dropped and the wind rose
The streets were almost deserted, and
in most Of the churches no services were
held. A few were brave enough to
risk coming out, and they are still
mourning religion frozen by the cold and
misshapcn umbrellas made the sport Of
the wind. 1t really wouldn't have been
so bad except for the sudden change,
and the confidence Of the people that
they would experience some more beau
tiful weather in view Of the prophecy
of the local weather man. Everybody
yesterday was trying to explain how it
happened, and the generally accepted
theory was that the clouds tried 90 do
what was expected Of them, but really
got so full that they couldn't hold in
for another twelve hours.
The cold was not severe enough to do
much damage to fruit and gardens. Farm
work will probably be delayed for a
week or ten days, but unless the situa-
ton becomes worse, no great amount
of damage will have been done

A REMARKABLE CAREER.
Mr.. J. EppS Brown Promoted to Special
Agent to. Vice President Of the
Bell Company.

News reached Newberry yesterday that
Mr.. j. Epps Grown has been promoted
to the position of Special Agent to the
Vice President of the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
with headquarters in Atlanta, this being
now the home office of the company.
Mr.. Brown is a Newberry County
boy, and his rapid rise in the telephone
business since he entered it as manager
of the local system at Americus, Ca,
five years ago, has been watched with
interest and pleasure by his many
friends here. His progress has been
truly remarkable, especially in view of
the fact that, having no influence with
the officials Of the company when he
began, his every promotion has been
upon merit pure and simple. The posi-
ton to which he has just been pro-
noted is one of the best in the service,
and carries with it great deal of
weight in the counsels of the company.
Five years ago Mr.. Brown was ap-
pointed manager at Americus, Ca, it
being understood that he would be al
lowed to continue his local insurance
business in connection with his other
duties. From this position he was ap-
pointed chief clerk to the superinten-
dent having in charge all the business
of the company in Georgia and Florida.
Following this, and when the General
Managers Office was moved from New
York to Atlanta (tebruary, 19O1) he
was made special agent to the General
Manager. Mr.. Brown was afterwards
made purchasing agent, and in this po-
sition purchased every particle of ma
terial used by the company, averaging
nearly 5000, 600 per month, or two mil
lion dollars pei annum. This position
he held until his promotion to the posi-
tion of Special Agent to the Vice -Presi-
dent.
A record like this is something of
which Mr.. Brown should be proud, and
Newberry takes just pride in the fact
that one of her sons has made so re-
markable progress to a prominent posi-
tion in the business world

HEINzE's Proposal sPURNED
Denounced as Subtertnge Aimed
ut Miners Union.

Butte, Oct. 26.-F. August Heinze
this afternoon addressed a mass meet
ing OF the miners OF Butte, over $1,000
men being IN attendance. Heinxe made
counter proposition to the offer OF
the Butte miners union to purchase
MasGnnis' stock in the Boston & Mon
tana and Parrot COMPANIES and thus
end the litigation with the Amalga-
mated, ..
Helnze offerad in behalf Of MaeGin-
mis- and Lamm to sell shares in the Bos-
ton &. Montana and Parrott companies
at the original price paid for them and
interest to the miners union, provided
the Amalgamated Copper Company
shall sell to him its interest In the Nip
per claim at the price they originally
paid, together with interest from that
date, and further that the Amalgamat-
ed company agree to operate its mines
for one year continuously and present
a scale Of wages to be maintained for
three years.
President William Scallon, Of the An
aconda company, tonight rejected the
proposition made by Heinze.
President Scallon charaoterizes the
proposition Of Heinze as astounding
and ridiculous and unworthy of consid-
Grafton. '"These offers may look in
nocent enough on the face, but in reali-
ty they amount to a refusal to settle
the MacGinnis cases." said he. 'They
are the turning down of the miners
union proposition, because the con-
ditlons Of Heinze's offers are so unreas-
enably and exorbltant that ther are
impossible OF acceptance"
