important News rom Newry.

Newry, S. c., Juno 2G.-As it has been
some time since your readers have heard
from us down here, wo thought that we
would let them hear once more, and that
we contemplated having celebration on
the 4th of July, with base ball games
and other innocent amuso Iii eits. We
also expect to have with us some good
speakers. SO all are kindly invited to be
with us and bring we'll filed baskets
and let us pass pleasantly together
another glorious 4th of July, which
gave birth to this tho greatest nation
ever recorded in history-a nation whose
birthday is worthy of being celebrated.
The picnic or celebration will be held on
the Southern Railroad near the Courte-
nay side track.
We have been having a very interesting
series of meetings at the Baptist church,
conducted by tho pastor, Rev. l.. NJ
LYDIA. and Brother Whiteside, of Spar
tanburg, S. G.
AT this writing the Hon. William A.
Courtenay, who is now in Baltimore at
the Johns Hopkins Institute, whore he
went several days since for an operation,
is not expected to live.
To all we say remember the place and
date of the celebration and come with
well filled baskets. b.

[Cleburne, Texas, Enterprise, June 81
Yesterday afternoon, (June 5th, 1906, J
at o'clock, Rev. Il. M. Stribling and
Miss Angie Ross were married at the
home of the bride in Cleburne, Rev. John
V. Mccall officiating, and number of
invited friends being present to witness
the nuptials and offer congratulations
for their welded bliss. Mr.. Stribling is
we'll known in Cleburne, having formerly
lived here and was we'll known member
of the Cleburne bar. He later attended
a theological seminary to study for the
ministry and is now pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Perry, Missouri.
Miss Ross is the niece of Judge William
Poindexter and was for some years one
of the teachers in the Cleburne public
schools. She was most loveable and
popular young lady and many warm
friends of both will congratulate each on
having secured so compatible a partner
for the journey through life. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stribling left last night on the Santa
Fe outgoing train for Richland, S. c.,
where they are to visit friends and rela-
tives of the groom and spend their
honeymoon, before settling down at their
home in Missouri.

Cotton Crop Damaged 20 Per Cent.

Columbia, June 25.-Cotton men from
various parts of the State, who have been
asked for their opinion as to the effect of
the recent rains on the cotton crop, are
almost unanimous in the opinion that
the crop has been damaged in nearly
every part of the State, and in some parts
of North Carolina by the recent heavy
rains The estimate of the damage varies
from 10 to 25 per cent. In all sections
the crops are being taken by the grass
and are from 10 days to two weeks late.
Labor is reported being scarce and will
interfere with restoring the crop to it's
clean condition, though it seems to be
the opinion that with favorable weather
the cotton can be saved without any fur
ther loss

What the Packers Have Lost.

Washington, June 26.-Official statis-
tics. complied By the Department of Com
merce and Labor, show how the agita-
tion against the packers has damaged
foreig trade. In January, before the
revelation had gained wide publicity, the
expectations of canned beef showed an
increase of 100000 pounds over the
previous year. February showed a fall
ing off of 100000 pounds, and March
showed fifty per cent decrease. The loss
to packers is $5O0,00O. April shows de-
crease over March of 100000 pounds.
May showed similar decrease. The ex-
portations of fresh beef in April and May
show a slight decrease.

Editors Keowee Courier: The Keowee
Courier is an up-to-date county news
paper and always brings the latest news
to the minds and ears of its readers. The
tate has printed pamphlets of the

rier ha Vt time nor space to copy from
other pr. res unless it is something that
is really in. Nrtant or OF local interest
1. There is no Section 1914 in the 1906
school law, but there is section that
provides for Arbor Day. If you will read
it you will see that it is absolutely i'm
possible for the superintendent to be
present at every school house in Oconce
in one day.
2. The report of Superintendent Mar
tin is made annually. There are moro
libraries in Ooonoe than reported, for
several have been established since tho
State Superintendent made his last re-
port, but will appear in his next.

/ did not say any such thing 1t is in
the keowee Courier exactly as / wrote
it | did say that God made man, then

my prayer is:
"'God give us men; (Yes, like me.)
A time like this demands (Yes.)
Strong minds, great hearts and ready

tally, or morally than other presi-
dents-the Chieftain does not
either affirm or deny his superior
ity on any of these lines.
But more than any president
since the close of the great war,
Roosevelt has succeeded in doing
the things that the people want
done.
For three years Roosevelt fol-
lowed, interpreted and executed
the Mckinley policy.
AS near as he was able he gave
the country a Mckinley govern
ment.
Then the people of the United
States gave Roosevelt a commits
sion to conduct a Roosevelt ad-
ministration.
For two years, with the help
of a republican senate and a re-
publican house the United States
has been directed according to
the Roosevelt policy.
Under the constitution the
people choose their presidents
every four years. But at the
end OF two years they can tie the
presidents hands by electing an
opposition house of representa-
tives, or an opposition senate.
Do the voters Of Colorado wish
a continuation of the Roosevelt
administration for two years
more, or do they wish to cut his
policy short when his term is
half over?
DO they wish to approve what
has been done and make possible
further progress along the same
lines, or do they wish to tie the
presidents hands with an adverse
congress and make the next two

years a period of idleness and
inaction?
Do. they want a progressive
policy, or standstill policy?
The only way to vote for
Roosevelt-to approve what he
has done and to commission him
to keep on doing is to elect
three republican congressman,
and a republican legislature that
will elect a republican senator.
The best way to do this is to
write the word Republican at
the head of the ballot.
Vote the straight republican
ticket which is the only Roose-
welt ticket.

Some business men refrain
from mixing in politics, fearing
loss of business. In the judg-
ment of the writer it is danger
Gus to sympathize with such a
feeling under a government of
and by the people. Any citizen
is entitled to honest convictions
on political questions and those
who would Withhold trade from
him on account of different
opinions are dangerous elements
to the community. Remove the
business man from politics and
you remove needed brains and
integrity and these are as essen
tial to politics as to business and
religion, if we are to keep the
ship of state running in proper
channels. American freedom of
thought and expression is some
thing sacred and the business
man should not countenance and
should discourage in every pos
sible way anything and every
thing that tends to remove him
from active participation in the
affairs of good government.
The business man was not
afraid to say his say and do his
utmost to bring about the election
of Mckinley in '96 and now that
McKinley's policies are in vogue
and thru them a mighty wave of
prosperity is felt thruout the
length and breadth of the land,
he should stand out square-toed
and flat-footed for a continuance
of present conditions and should
not be coerced into keeping quiet
for fear of losing a few dollars
worth of trade. To boycott bust
ness men because of their politi-
cal beliefs is cowardly and un-
American.

With three rapidly growing
high schools in the county and
others certain to be required in
the near future, Delta county
needs superintendent of schools
who is experienced in high school
as we'll as in grade work. To
grant the Office to any person not
so equipped is to leave the high
schools of the county without
common leader. Neither politics
nor prejudice should be allowed
to deprive all departments of our
public schools of the best possible
supervision. Hotchkiss Herald.
The only doubt in the minds
of those best posted on the
political situation in Delta county
about republican success, is the
important factor of getting out
the party vote on election day.
All good republicans desire party
success, but if this one feels
that his vote is not important and
several hundred others feel the
same way, we will wake up on
the morning after election a
defeated party. On the other
hand if every republican will see
that his or her vote is cast the
entire county ticket will be
elected and the state and district
candidates will carry the county
by good majorities.
