had the pleasure of being In Walhalla
during court week, and while there
noted the many improvements that had
been made since his last visit there:
also noted the fact that Walhalla could
be made the prettiest town in the 90 nnty.
Situated as she is, at the foot of the
mountains, far to the east and west, and
with its beautiful Main street. which
could be made more beautiful by the ad.
dition of moro shade trees. and with
more and better buildings in places, and
with water-works and electric lights,
Walhalla would Do one of the most de.
sirable places In the State. But as it re-
quires time. money, push and enterprise
to build and beautify a city-even with
men possessing all of these--we will
have to wait Walhalla's day wh,n she
can truly boast of being the prettiest
and most desirable town In the State.
May that day be in the near future is the
sincere wish of your scribe. Progress.

NOTES FROM sEway.
Odd Fellows to Have Big SUPPER Progress
Visits WaIhal'a--Personai Mention.

Newry, July lO.-Another Glorious
Fourth of July has come and gone, and
we have passed another mile stone in the
journey of our national life, which life
has, thus far, been pre-eminently sue
cess, Notwithstanding the unhappy and
bloody contest through which we passed
from 1851 to 1865, with the long train OF
corruption and humility that followed.
But from it all we, as q nation, have
emerged triumpbantly, and to-day are
stronger. and, beyond doubt, all
things considered, the greatest nation in
the world.
Newry Lodge, No. 10, I. o. o. F., will
convene Saturday night, July 10th, for
the purpose of publicly installing the
officers. Grand Master J. j. MoSwsin, OF
Greenville, and Deputy Grand Master @.
r. d. Burns and Col. j. w. Shelor, of
Walhalla, are expected to be here on this
occasion. The lodge will serve supper
at Newry, prepared by the Palmetto
House, at Seneca.
Newry would be glad to have the presi-
dent Of the Oconee Musical Association
convene its next session here.
The high water of July did not do
much damage here. 1t liked about thir-
teen feet being as high as the freshot of
June 9, 1908.
The County Commissioners will take
notice that three important bridges near
here need repairing.
Carlisle Courtepay, of Atlanta, is on a
visit to his fathers. He looks we'll and
seems to be feeling good from the pious
and religious talk he made in the Baptist
church here few evenings since. Press
on, Brother Courtenay, and let your
light 80 shine that others may see your
good works and follow you.
Hon. VIM. A. Courtenay left on the
9th for Capon Springs, w. Va. We trust
his visit to that famous place will soon
return him homo greatly reouperated.
The Liberty base ball team came over
on the 4th to play Newry, but was pre-
vented by the rain that afternoon. Come

Simmons on Statehood.

Senator Simmons addressed the
Senate Monday afternoon in opposi-
ton to the Beveridge statehood bill
Senator Simmons occupied the atten-
ton of the Senate for about two hours
this being the second extemporary
speech which the senior Senator from
North Carolina has delivered in the
Senate. The chief contention of the
Senator was that Arizona would suf-
fer most by the proposed union with
New Mexico, and the delegate from
Arizona referred to the speech as an
exceedingly effective presentation Of
the subject. Senator Simmons said
that his interest In the subject Of state
hood had been Increased by facts given
him by Mr.. B. R. Lacy, who held the
position of Treasurer in his State. Mr..
Lacy, said the Senator, had made a can
vas of Arizona during the last cam
paign. In presenting the claims of
Arizona to separate statehood Mr.. SIM
mons made the declaration that while
much of the land in Arizona was arid
that it would respond to irrigation in
such q way as to become as productive
rs the valley OF the Nile, which had
sustained sixty millions of people.

Bloody Fiuht Over Girl.

Elizabeth City, Special.-Particulars
have reached the city Of bloody fight
which occurred at Davis store. in
Providence township, about one mile
from Berea, and about seven miles
from this city, Saturday night The
origin OF the trouble, which was
between the McPhersons and the Jen-
nings, seems to have been caused by
the attention that was bestowed on
one of the McPhersons and one of the
Jennings boys by young lady OF the
noighborhoOd. Sometime ago, so 1t
is reported. John Pritchard, who Is
member Of the Mcpherson group, gave.
the young lady in the case watch.
She In turn loaned or gave it to young
Grover Jennings. Pritchard saw Jen.
nngs with the watch. and It was de-
cided that all should meet one night
last week and settle the matter. The
meeting was postponed until Saturday
night, when all met at Davis store
and the melee began. Just how It
started no one is able to tell, but when
the smoke had cleared away it was
found that three of the Mcpherson
boys were badly cut. two Of them Sc
riously, one having his throat cut and
the other had his ear entirely severed.
Daniel Jennings, father of the Jen-
nings boys, aged about so years, was
right badly cut in the shoulder. and
two of the Jennings boys were cut, one
in the arm and the other in the face.
During the fight which lasted for
some time, Mrs. Davis, in front of
whose house it occurred, acted as sur
geon, and bound up the wounds of each
injured combatant as he fell.

The awarding OF the Grand Prize to the

ven, Conn, at the st. Louis Exposition,
confers upon this company the highest
mark OF distinction attained by any manu-

world. Although a great number of med.
ais were given, the only award of Grand
Prize was to the Winches ter Repeating

with the leading manufacturers CT all coun-
tries it testifes decidedly to the superior.
ity of Winchester rifles, shotguns and ami
munition. The success attained by the
Winchester Repeating Arms Co. at this
the Paris Exposition they received the
Grand Prix, and wherever exhibited have
always been given the highest possible
prizes. This latest recognition of super
iority is the natural result of thirty years
of careful and successful endeavor in main
tanning the high quality of Winchester

How Railroad Men Got Their Engine
Off dead Center"
travelling man relates that while
riding on the new Orient line between
Harper and Anthony few days ago.
one Of the side rods Of the engine
broke, and the other side stopped on
a dead CENTER" so that when the re-
pair was made it was impossible to
start the train again. He says:
The engineer, tie conductor, and
all the passengers took turns going
over the thing and trying to devise
way to make it run. Finally boy
came cut -cf the field where he had
been blowing to see what was going
On. He crawled through the wire
fence and sat down on the bank and
famed himself with his straw hat.
If you'd back that last car up the
grade an let 'er come down kerchunk,
that I'D start her. he finally suggest
ed, deliberately.
The railroad men shifted contempt
uously, but the passengers sided with
the boy. Finally the conductor gave
orders that the rear car be uncoupied.
No less than fifty passengers caught
hold and pushed the'car up the grade.
Once at the top the car was let 60.
The loose coach gained momentum as
it came down the hill, and in spite of
the engineers admonition to let her
come down easy the emergency bat
tering ram crashed into the train with
tremendous thump. The engine was
bumped off center all right.
