VIII Not Answer Complaint.

Mrs. Jeff D. Chapman, formerly Of
this place, bnt now Of Atlanta, Ga,
has instituted proceedings in the Geor-
gia courts for divorce from her hus-
band. Mrs. Chapman was Miss Ada
Shockley, and has numerous friends in
Newberry. Her grounds for asking for
a divorce are that her husband deserted
and failed to support her. We see from
the following that Mr.. Chapman will
not answer the complaint:
"The wife of Mr.. Jeff Chapman, q
carpenter of this city, is instituting
legal proceedings for divorce. She is
in Georgia. Chapman does not Intend

WHAT AnS LHXINGTONr
Sheriff Buford Holds an Escaped Convict
and Can't Hear From the Authorities.

Sheriff Buford last week captured
VIM. Drafts, colored, who at the time
of his capture had shackles on his feet,
going to show that he was an escaped
convict. When he was captured he
confessed that he was a trusty on the
Lexington chain gang and said that he
escaped about two weeks ago. The
negro said that he had been convicted
Of housebreaking (breaking into Mr..
Sidney Wessinger's house) and was
sentenced to the chaingang for five
years, and which he had served three
years and had two more TO serve.
Sheriff Buford wrote two letters to
the Supervisor or his clerk at Lexing-
ton, wired them once, and has since
written the Sheriff, but cannot hear a
word from them. The Sheriff says had
not the negro confessed and were he
not at some expecse on his account, he
would let the negro go. What ails the
Lexington authorities anyway.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
An Afternoon Spent lat the Home Of Mrs.
w. H. Hunt-An Interesting Program
Carried Out.

The Woman's Club of Newberry an
nually devotes one afternoon to the
subject, Domestic Science. These
meetings are always looked forward to
with much interest and pleasure as
there are always happy surprises in
store for the members. The meeting
last Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Walter H. Hunt was no exception
to the rule. The committee on arrange
ments had very attractive program
which was successfully carried out.
After the roll call, which was re-
sponded to with appropriate quotations,
Mrs. Robert D. Wright very charming
ly told how to economize labor and
physical strength in housekeeping; and,
Mrs. William H. Wallace, in well
written paper, offered some timely sug-
gestions on the servant problem.
While the chafng dishes and mate
rails were being made ready "liter-
ary banquet" added pleasing variety to
the program and furnished much amuse-
ment. Each member was given a
booklet printed and tied with the club
colors, two shades of violet, and con-
tanning questions to be answered with
the names of welI-known artists. Then
came the practical demonstration Of
cooking, which was by no means the
least attractive feature of the pro-
gram. A delicious lunch was soon pre-
pared and daintily served. The menu
consisted of fried oysters, creamed po-
tatoes, beaten biscuit, pickles, crack
ers, tea and coffee, Marguerites, and
orange Charlotte with whipped cream
and chrystalized cherries.

there is little doubt but that one can be
had if the citizens will show that they
feel that one is needed. All one has to
do to be convinced that the convenience

THE TEACHERS MEETING.
The Meeting Fairly Well Attended, Inter
eSting Talks by Interesting Men.

The Teachers Association of New.
berry County was held Saturday, Jan.
10, 1903, in the Boundary Street Ora,
ded School Building. This was the first
meeting of 1903 and the number of
county tachers present showed that the
teachers of Newberry County are be-
ginning the New Year very earnestly.
The association enjoyed two fine adj
dresses-one by DR.. o. B. Mayer, the
other by Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, of
the South Carolina College.
DR.. Mayors talk was on a subject of
physiology. He explained very care
fully, by illustrations, the work of the
cells of the human body.
Prof. Wardlaw's subject was very
broad one but he left some excellent
thoughts for the teachers to mediate
upon. He dwelt very much upon con-
crete and abstract teaching; concrete
coming first, but warning us of the
onesidedness of the mind, therefore the
abstract must not be omitted. These
last and very important remarks were
upon the control of the school room
Every teacher of the county should
have been present at this meeting for
he certainly would have gathered good
and helpful thoughts from these two
able speakers.
The next meeting will be the second
Saturday in February. Let all the
teachers be present.

THB DROP HARNESS HERE,
The Hangers and Harness in Place and
the Horses Gone into Training.

The drop harness and hangers for tht
Excelsior Fire Company's team Of
beautiful bays, have arrived and have
been put in position by H. B. Wells, OF
the Newberry Hardware Company.
Inc Harro IS are made of good, stout
leather and are trimmed with brass.
They make pretty show.
Dave Irons has been hired to take
charge of the team and will begin at
once to train the horses for service.
1t will be some time yet before the
wagon will be put into active service,
as it is thought best to train the horses
and get them accustomed to the drop
harness arrangement. In the mean
time the firemen will respond to alarms
with the old reel-and the town is
safe.
When the hose wagon is put into
service the town, that is the entire
town, will have the best fire protection
it has ever had, and it should cause a
reduction in insurance rates.
Drop around to the new fire head
quarters and see what beautiful pair
OF horses, what a strong, substantial
wagon and what an up-to date set of
harness we have. You will be a welcomed
visitor.
Since writing the above it has been
decided to put the horses and wagons
into active service, and the team will
hereafter respond to alarms. So when
the alarm comes in keep the streets
clear and watch out for the fire team.
