LOCAL LEGISLATION.
Matters Affecting Newberry Consid-
cred in General Assembly
Tribute to Mr. Sigh

In the debate on the Winthrop col
IeGc holiday bill Senator Cole l..
Blease Of Newberry, paid a deserved
compliment to the Hon. J. \. Sigh,
of this county. and who represented
his county in the senate for many
years. Senator Blease said in part ::
II have the honor to occupy the seat
which was occupied at that time by
the first man in South Carolina who
raised his voice in behalf Of a college
for the higher education of the young
women of this state. and who did
more for its establishment than any
other one man, although he has never
received the proper credit or consider
alton for his services. His speech on
the occasion was one of eloquence,
logic and truth. and | am proud that
l have this opportunity Of calling to
the attention of this senate his record.
II refer. Mr.. President, to the Hon.
Jefferson A. Sigh, one Of my prede-
cessors and former senator from my
county,
The bill to give the Winthrop girls
their Christmas holiday then passed
the senate and was sent to the house.
The bill. to provide for the election
of trustees Of the Newberry graded
schools from each ward in the town
of Newberrv has been passed by both
houses and has received the signature
Of the governor. The first election
will be held in December. when five
trustees will be elected, one from each
ward. This bill, it will be recalled,
was passed by the legislature at its
last session. but no provision was
made for ordering the election and
under the ruling Of the attorney gen
eral the bill was of no effect. The bill
passed this year provides that the elec-
ton shall be ordered by the town

Postmaster Purcell to Hold On.

In a letter dated January 31st
from it's Washington correspondent,
the Columbia Record says:
Postmaster Purcell, Of Newberry,
stated today that he had just had a
talk with Mr.. Hitchcock concerning
the question Of his continuance as
postmaster at Newberry. The depart
ment, he says. is fully satisfied with
his work and takes the recommended
tons which he has from the citizens
of Newberry as the best evidence that
he is the choice Of the people for
another term there. He says that Mr..
Hitchcock has assured him that he
will hold on, and so far as making a
change at this time is concerned, there
is not the least idea of such action at
the present time.

The RAJAH OF BHONG.
operate Comedy in Two Acts.

The company presenting 1.-THE
Rajah of Bhong' contains many well
known fun-makers and vocalists, and
no better vehicle for their efforts to
entertain could have been secured.
The comedy element predominates the
action Of the piece from beginning to
end, and as every male member Of
the east is a comedian, fun fast ard
furious is the natural result. IA
laugh in every line" is not an exag-
eeration in this instance, but the hu-
NOR is natural and entirely free from
the coarseness which sometimes mars
productions Of the musical comedy
class.
The female contingent made up Of
pretty girls who know how to sing
and dance. is very much in evidence.
The costumes worn by the chorus are
gorgeous in the extreme, and the
management claims that it is the
most extensively dressed production
ever presented.

A Novel Ceremony.

One Of the most unique and inter-
estinS scenes witnessed IN our city
in many a day was the baptism Of
two boy twin babies. five months
old sons Of Greek parents. at the resi-
iencc Of Mrs. ". +. Ruff. on WeuneS-
day night about midnight. The ccre-
mony was performed by priest Of
Atlanta, Georgia. who came here for
that especial purpose.
The father and mother are Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Abbott, the former OF whom
is connected with the carnival troupe.
In keeping with their faith, each child
had a Godfather, Peter Autonakors,
whose boy was named Augustus, and
AugusterS Antonakors. whose boy
was named Anthony. They We're as
sisted by Colleill Nassau. cousin Of
the father. All Of the party are OF
Greek extraction, direct from fair
and sunny Greece, the home Of Zeno-
phon and Demosthenes, and the cere-
monv was conducted in the language
of the Greek, in genuine orthodox
style.
At the appointed time. the two
babies were disrobed in true young
ster order, their heads were annolnted
with olive oil, the babies placed in the
tub of water, which had been made
holy. and each immersed three times.
One Of the boys kicked Justify when
imersed while the other behaved quite
gentlemanly. The priest then remov-
ed the babies, handing to each god
father one at a time, when the priest
took some kind of salve out of a sill
YER box, especially used on such occa-
sions. and with a mop, made figures
Of a cross on the forehead, feet and
arms and body Of each child. Then
the boys were delivered to their moth
ed who redressed them in entirely
new clothing from head to foot. Dur
ing the whole exerices incense had
been burning, filing the room with a
perfume and cloud that was we'll
nigh sitting to those unaccustomed
to such proceedings. The priest led
the way followed by each godfather
with his child in his arms. and the
whole Greek company marched
around the tub of water. all the while
chanting and reading. closing with a
PRAYER. A small tuft of hair was cut
from the head Of each child and
thrown into the water. The ceremony
occupied fully two hours and half,
but the interest Of the onlookers was
not abated in the least.
The mother brought the two little
Greco-Americans down town yester-
day. They are both bright and charm
ING little fellows, who have the best
wishes of their American friends for
their future happiness and usefulness.

Thought It Was a Town Meeting.

Attorney Don II. Powers, of Maine,
a brother Of Congressman Lewellyn
Powers. was once defending a man
who was charged with some minor Of
Tense. The trial was before a trial
justice in country town. and at the
close of the preliminary hearing a wag
in the court room arose and said:
mr.. Judge, I will make a motion that
the prisoner be discharged"
II will second the notion" chimed
in another spectator.
The trial justice, who evidently for
got where he was, and thought he was
presiding at a town meeting, said:
''The prisoner is discharged"
Powers and the prosecuting attorney
were so astonished at this method Of
deciding the innocence or guilt of the
respondent that they never opened
their mouths, and the case ended in
this shion."-Boston Herald.

1--WE hit off five miles down Lake

stayed right there for hours until late
In the afternoon. 1t was seven bells

thick-felt more like rain than blow.
The boys were eating late supper. l

saw mass of canvas right upon us
the white hulled yacht on the port tack

ut sailed by us, clear down below
the rail, and we lay with tapping can
vas. Not breath Of air for us. Went
worth and the Windward boys got out
Of the cabin in time to see the boat and
the four fellows standing in the cock
pit just simply fade from our sight. 1t
seemed to get misty to the northward.
l swore had kept a close lookout, and
there wasn't a thing in sight. The
crew swore l had been asleep. A squat
hit us about that time, and we had to
forget the other boat for awhile. 1t
was all we could do to get in four reefs
and beat over to the lee of Bots Blanc.

down the lake. We got over in the lee
of that island and anchored. There we
rode out the second storm and sat up
in the cockpit all night.
''We talked of nothing but the other
boat. 1t had us guessing and feeling
clammy.
''Well, we made Middle island two
days later, just about seven bells.
Tried to run into a little cove near the
lighthouse, but the water shoaled up,
SO we came about and beat over near
the mainland, which was only short
distance away, and anchored Cooked
swell supper, cleaned up the dishes,
put in the four reefs simply to be on
the safe side-we didn't want to stop
to reef if the wind changed and we had
to run for the lee of Middle island.
ut was about two bells and we were
playing cards in the cabin and wishing
we could make Au Sable by o'clock
the next morning when suddenly we
heard that old sound of creaking blocks.
We rushed into the cockpit. 1t was
pretty dark, and not a boat could we
see. We sat in the cockpit for awhile
and talked it over, but nothing hap
pened, SO we went below. Half an
hour later we heard the same sound
While we were seated in the cockpit
discussing the matter the wind whipped
around to the northeast, and the way it
came made us start for the lee of Mid
die island.
"Wentworth and the two Wlndward
boys were forward, holding on to the
anchor and ready to drop it when we
reached a good place. Suddenly they
all yelled: 'Luff her! Luff herr And
as did heard the creaking Of blocks

her deck. We yelled and cussed, but
got no reply, and, fellows, we saw that
boat sail straight up through a big cir
Gle of fish nets not far from us. Up in
Lake Huron they put posts down With
pile drivers and string a cable between
them and hang the nets on. No yacht
can cut through Lake Huron fish nets.
1--WE got. over to the lee of the island
after a dickens of q time and rode out
the storm. 1t beat the other two storms
by a mile. We lay there two days I'M
til it blew itself out; then we hired a
couple of fishermen to sail the Wind
ward to Detroit.
"That boat never reached Detroit.
Whether the fishermen hid her away
for their own use or got caught in a
gale between harbors we never knew.
For my part. I'm through. 1t took six
months savings to settle up for that
cruise, with the help Of the other boys,
too. but we considered ourselves lucky
at that"
"And you think said the commo-
dore.
'No, I don't think, but 1 know One
more blow would have finished u.s."
But about the boat on the port
tack?' asked another yachtsman.
