Society-Col. Holloway in Town
The Bees Are Buzzing.

Snciety Of Grace church is observing
the week Of prayer for missions and
has service every evening at 4 clock.
Rev. \. J. Bowers, d. D.. will ad-
dress the society on Sunday evening
at 7:45. His subject will be the Vol
unteer Movement in Missions, and
his impressions Of the Nashville Con-
vention, which was recently held for
the purpose Of encouraging this vol
unteer movement.
We had the pleasure Of meeting
and greeting our old friend, Col. J..
B. O'Neall Holloway, who was on our
streets shaking hands with his friends
and making new ones, also taking sub
scriptions for the Southern Farmer
We saw him capture a savage and
scalp him much to his delight. This
is a good farm paper and every far
mer in Newberry and in the state of
South Carolina ought to read it.
Write the Col. for "a copy if you
haven't seen it and see what good
paper he gets out.
We note that the legislature ap-
pointed a commission to build a new
court house. Now really, Mr.. Editor,
do we need this? Is not the present
court house ample for all our needs?
And then. too. Mr.. Editor. are the
people not going to be given an 'op-
portunitv to vote on this and say If
the people want it? $4,000 is quite
a good sum. Will We be taxed for
this amount without the people hav-
ing any say at ALL So far as we are
concerned we are like the Sage Of An
'nerson we are ''agin it, until We
can see more reason for a new one
than now appears. Say, friend Chips,
what 10 you think Of this taxing the
people needlessly? Speak up, old boy.
don't be "skeered. y
