GIN HOUSE BURNED.
Mrs. Julia Kinard Loses Valuable
Property Near Ninety-six

On last Friday evening, at about
seven o'clock. fire broke Out in a
large gin house on the plantation OF
Mrs. Julia Kinard, near Ninety-Slx,
and DESTROYED the building together
with six bales of cotton and about
eighteen hundred bushels of cotton
seed. The insurance was only $500.
So far as can be learned the fire
was of accidental origin. The whole
country side turned out to aid in
the attempt to save the building, but
their efforts were futile. There were
nearly twenty bales Of cotton stored
under the gin house, and these were
saved intact. The gin house was
very close to the dwelling and the
other buildings on the farm, and at
one time it was feared the flames
would spread. This, however, was
prevented.
Mrs. Kinard is well-known in
Newberry, having originally come
from this county and being related
to many Newberry county families.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
Appointed by Citizens Meeting to
Suggest Amendments to
The Charter.

The Citizens meeting Will De Aelu
again on Friday night pursuant to
adjournment to hear the report OF
the committee appointed to suggest
changes in the charter Of the city.
In accordance with the resolution OF
the last meeting the report of the
committee is published for the in
formation of the citizens.
To the Citizens of the Town Of
Newberry:
Your committee, appointed to sug-
gest such changes in the charter Of
the town as to it seemed desirable,
begs leave to report the following
suggestions with it's favorable report
thereon for your consideration at a
meeting ordered to be held on Friday
night, November 25th, 1904.
I. That the charter be so amended
as provide for two aldermen from
each ward as now laid out-the term
of office to be for two years except
that at the first election Gin Decem-
ber,roo5) one alderman shall be elect
ed for one year and one for two
wears so that thereafter one election
shall be held annually at the time
now fixed by law for one alderman
from each ward-the other aldermen
holding over.
2. That where a vacancy occurs IN
the Office of mayor leaving an unex-
oired term of not exceeding sixty
days. the aldermen shall elect one of
their number as mayor pro tenn to
serve during such unexpired term.
2. That the term Of Office of the
mavor and aldermen run with the
calendar year.
4. That the mayor and aldermen
shall meet at least once month tor
the transaction of business on day
to be fixed by ordinance, duly passed
and published, and as much ottener
as the business of the town may re-
quire.
5. That the words mot to exceed
in value in the aggregate the sum OF
fifty thousand dollars' in Section 22'
OF the charter, be stricken out. This
relates to the limitation of the power
Of the town to hold real and personal
property.
These propositions are submitted
in this general form. Their adop-
ton will necessitate some additional
amendments to carry out the ideas
involved. Your committee has con-
cluded that the proper course to pur-
sue with regard to such additional
amendments is to let them await
vour action on the general PROPOSE
tions submitted above. 1t will be
time enough to throw them in shape
to be embodied in the petition re-
quired by Section 1896, Vol. I, Code
of Laws 1902, to be submitted to the
town council as the basis on which
to secure an election on the question
of amending the town charter.

FOUR MONTHS FOR $1.15,
Eagle Versus Man.

A strange story comes from the
Bagnes Valley, in the Canton of
Nalais, Switzerland, of a fight be-
tween some shepherds and an eagle.
The shepherds noticed the spot
where the eagle had made her nest
in the high rocks, and, intending to
steal from it the young birds, they
lowered one of their number from
above by means of long ropes. The
daring youth was equipped with
sack and knife. When he reached
the nest he took out the eagets, and
was about to be drawn up when the
mother came swooping through the
air and attacked him fiercely with
beak and wings. Hanging dizzily in
mid-air, the shepherd tried to defend
himself with the knife, but his blows
were for the most part wasted by
the swinging of the rope, to which he
had to cling with one hand. More
over he was hampered by the sack
containing the young birds, which
was slun9 across his shoulder, and
half-stunned by the tremendous
shock of. the eagles attack. While
he was thus fighting for life and
death, and every I>oment growing
fainter and dzzier, his comrades,
who bad a gun with them, kept firing
whenever they saw chance of doing
so without hurting him. One lucky
shot killed the eagle and the shep-
herd was drawn up. He was found
to be badly hurt on the arms and
head, and unconscious, or at least
incapable of speaking or moving.
The latest reports say that he gives
signs of having become insane.

may give, any suggestion we may
offer, must take the form of friend
ship, of sympathy, and of earnes,
desire to help, rather than to con-
denn.
Suppose that in some big city of
the north there should come series
of crimes, all committed by negroes.
Suppose that one young girl after an
other were murdered, after being
horribly maltreated. Suppose chill
dren were butchered and burned.
Suppose that the husband, going to
the rescue of his wife, were knocked
on the head like dog. Then sup
pose that the whites in that Northern
section lived surrounded by millions
of negroes and filled with constant
dread of worse outbreaks. Is it
quite certain that the northern COM
inunity would be calm and judicial
and always listen to the voice of the
law
The worst thing about these burn
ings, these illegal killings, whether
they take place in the North or the
South, is the dreadful effect upon the
minds of the lynchers themselves
especially upon the children.
1t has taken thousands of years for
men to rise from utter savagery to
comparative civilization. 1t takes
but very few years-or only a few
weeks-tor the civilized veneer to
come off-for the man to become
the savage once more.
A great crime is committed against
the State when the murderer butch
ers his victim. But a greater crime
is committed when the civilizing
work and influences Of years are de-
stroyed through the murder COM
mitted by the mob.
The problem of the South is
very great one, and the Northern at
titude should be one of suspended
judgment and sympathetic co-opera-
ton.
There is no power that will hold
back savage human hatred in the
face of certain provocation, and
harsh criticism will hold it back least
of all.
How did our revolutionary ances-
tors, whom we call heroes, treat the
Indians, whose savagery filed them
with anxiety? They hunted and
murdered them like wolves or wea-
sells. And have you forgotten the
mobs of our noble early times, capa-
bic Of enjoying the punishment of
witches, or driving defenseless wo-
men naked through the streets of
New England towns
Let us remember our own crimes,
our draft riots, our race outrages,
based on nothing at all, rather than
exploit our superior virtues in the
face of the Southerner's stupendous
difficulties.

Y Young PI ANTS

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.

In Memory Of Earnest Kay.

When man reaches his three score
and ten and is then summoned by the
angel death, we think we understand
why he has been called; we reason he
has lived the allotted time to man and
the physical body like vast machine is
worn out. But when a young man just
in the bloom of splendid manhood
with so much to live for and such flu
ture as Earnest Kay-then we cannot
understand why he was called; our rea-
son becomes dull--we can only bow our
heads in submission and say, God knows
best.
We have known Earnest since be was
a boy, being friends and school. mates
He was esteemed and loved by all who
knew him-always quiet and reserved in
his manners. AS we grew older in after
years we drifted apart, but watched al
ways with keenest interest his every
step towards the realization of his
crowning ambition to be mana man
with profession, one on whom you
could depend.
While we stood watching the man.
moth wheels of the great engine, which
is the life and power of the big Ches-
well Cotton Mill at Westminster, we
could scarce realize that a mere boy, by
his pluck and industry, could, at the age
of only twenty-five, so skilfully manage
all this machinery (which seemed as if
it were really alive) to become head en-
gineer. We still stood watching this
big engine draped in black ard white-a
mute testimony of love from his fellow
workmen, and again find ourselves try
ing to reason out why he was called
only to say, God knows best.
We note with pride that Earnest had
not only made success of his business,
but was conscientious Mason, Woodman
of the World and Knight of Pythias,
being held in high esteem by each of the
three above orders, which in itself speaks
well for man so young.
For four long weeks he lay tossing
with the raging fever, yet at times in
the cool of the night, when all was quiet,
wrapped in the mantle of darkness,
Earnest would regain consciousness and
oSOih iiCoh ahu h6H hS "Oulu
talk so sweetly of heaven and his trust in
his Saviour to the dear mother and loved
ones watching so tenderly over him; and
now what comfort these words are to
lis. Knowing him to be a good, dutiful
son, we had only to visit the home he
had made for his wife and little daughter,
to find he was the same father and hus-
baud.
The world needs such men as James
Earnest Kay, yet God in his infinite wis
dom knows best He neededl him also
for a grander and nObler purpose-and
so gently whispered, come up higher"
Twas only last year the golden chain
of friendship which binds our circle
1.-THE old crowd'-so closely together
was broken by the death of Jimmie Hull ;
and now in Earnest Kay another link is
missing from our chain, another link
added i'll heaven. One by one each link
will be taken until at last the whole
chain will be gone. Our prayer to God
is, that in heaven each link will fit in to
make perfect chain-notss zone missing.
