the tag tax to the Agricultural and
Mechanical society of South Caro-
lima. This will if it is done, enable
the society to make their grounds
what they should be ssecond to none
in the south.
Everything considered the last fair
was one of the best we ever attended
barring the unfinished condition of
the grounds, which of course will
not be the case next year. If Clemson
does not. need the 10000 let it go
to help the farming interests Of the
state Our state institutions have
been getting immense sums for years
which are largely Out of reach of the
farmers, but in the state fair all can
go and enjoy it and learn many val
liable lessons if they will. <
Rev. w. l. |Seabrook of Newberry
stopped over in town for a couple
of hours on his return from the cor
nerstone laying, of the Lutheran
church at Sa1uda court house on
Tuesday.
We learn from his physician, Dr.
Doninick, that Capt. J. F. Banks is
quite sick We know that his many
friends in the county will be grieved
to hear it. We hope for his speedy
recovery.
Owing to our absence at Synod
from Tuesday until next week we will
not be able to have letter in next
two issues While we have been
writing for each issue so far there
will be times when we will not be
able to get in more than one letter

try to get some one to send up the
news.
The linotype made us say, mo one
can store up happenings enough to
last all the wook through We wrot,
happiness. Quite difference and why

dianapolis and tell them you saw it
in The Herald and News of Newber-
~, S. c., and you will hear all about
it. 1t is a good thing. Push it along
Today there is being waged all over
this union Of ours, one, of the great
est battles ever fought. The blows
are falling as quietly as the leaves
in autumn, but the victory will mean
much. At this writing it looks to
us as though we would have years
more of Teddy.
Hon. Geo. S. Mower spent Monday
night in town, returning to Newberry
on the early train.
We now think we will like the new
schedule on the Southern. It will
enable one to get to Columbia before
so very late in the night and enable
us to read The Evening Telegram be-
fore going to bed 1t will be really
today's news today and not today's
news tomorrow, as we have it in the
morning dailies. If it was an hour
earlier it would be better still.
We see from the daily papers that
some New Englander has invented
a cotton picker Them who in
vented the Lowrey round bale is.sthe
inventor of this machine 1t is not
altogether automatic. : 1t requires
4 boys and driver to manage it and
will pick three bales a day. 1t has

boys direct arms that pick the cotton.
The time may come yet when we
can ride and do all Our work. There
is corn harvester that one rides
and cuts and gathers his corn, tieing
it in bundles or shocks, making it
ready for the shredder. Riding cul-
tivators and turn plows, etc., are no
