GoURD WITH A LONG HISTORY.
Came From Scotland $50 Years Ago
Served in the Revolutionary
War.

Mr.. W. T. Saxon Of this city has a
gourd which has long and interest
ing history.
The gourd,, which holds about a
pint, was grown in Scotland, accord
ing to the story which Mr.. Saxon has
had handed down to him. It was
brought to this country by Lewis
Watson, who settled on Clouds Creek
in what is now Newberry county, in
1850. James Watson, his son, was a
soldier in the Revolutionary war, and
used this gourd as a powder horn
during his service. At his death in
1914, it passed into the hands Of Jack
Saxon, one of his descendants, who re-
tanned it until he died in 1893, when
it passed into the possession of his
son, W. T. Saxon, who still owns it.
It is just small round gourd,
which can be easily carried in ones
coat pocket, and with small hole IN
the end in which a cork. fits. Mr..
Saxon naturally prizes it very highly.

DEFEATED BY COLUMBIA.
An Honorable Defeat In A Well
Played Game.

On Wednesday afternoonat the Col
!eye park the Columbia base ball team
+ the South Atlantic league, gave a
fine exhibition Of the sport in d game
between that team and the Newber-
l'y college boys.
The score eleven to one in favor Of
the professionals is not bad when one
considers that the college team is
composed Of boys who make study an
end instead of sport. This game was
excellent practice for the college and
the management is to be congratulate
! ed On securing the Columbia team for
10 doubt they have gained valuable
training which they can use in con-
test against their sister colleges.
The Columbia fellows are gen.
tlemenly set and Newberry would be
glad to have them here all the time.
Manager Granville must be COM
mended on the bunch he has got to.
rether not only as good ball players,
but as a quiet set Of gentlemen There
was only one occurrence in the game
which might have been criticised and
that was when the first baseman de-
liberately kicked ground ball that
would have settled on fair ground be-
yond the foul line. While this may
have been done in spirit Of play,
at the same time, the college public
can hardly understand it and no
doubt it was severely criticised. =
Coach Holland has his men in ex-
cellent form for the Furnan game or
Saturday. There is some good mate
rial on the team. In Wednesdays
game especially was noticeable the
playing of Cabaniss and Boozer.
These men are natural ball players.
They will no doubt be of much help
in winning the college games OF the
season. The work of Crouch was up
to it's usual fine standard, and Houseal
who is younger in the game showed
up in fine form against the profess
,sionals.
The names of the players and their
respective positions are as follows:
Newberry college c.;
Owen, S. S.; Boozer,. 3 b.; Scurry, |. f.;
Wessinger, c. f.; Belenbaugh,. r. f.;
Busby, 2 b.; Hoover, I b.; Crouch and
Houseal, pitchers.
Columbia Professionals-Dunn and
rel, c.; Needham, S. s.; Granville,
3 b.; Schirm, |. f.; Wallace, c. t.;
Kennedy, r. f.; Duffy, 2 b.; Lally,
l b.: Ashton, and Ketter, pitchers.
The next game at the college park
will be on Saturday afternoon be-
tween Furman university and New
berry college. This game is exciting
q great deal of attention as Furman
and Newberry both have excellent
chances for the South Carolina col
lege pennant. A large crowd will
doubtless attend the game and help
root Newberry on to victory.

ANOTHER KNITTING MILL.
The Excelsior Knitting Mill of Union
TO Establish Branch In New
berry.

Newberry is to have two Knitting
mills. The Newberry mill has been
bought and new company organized
with J. A. Blackwelder as president
and J. D. Davenport as secretary and
treasurer and new and up-to-date ma
chinery will be put in to produce a
first class and up-to-date article.
The Excelsior Mills Of Union have
made arrangements to lease from
Mr.. J. L. Aull, through Frank R.
Hunters real estate. agency the old
Cline shops which will be repaired
and overhauled, to>be used as branch
mill to their Union plant. They hope
to have everything ready and in run
ming order within the next month.
We are glad to see these new enter
prises starting up. They give employ
ment to people and help business gen
orally. > ..
The following is taken from the
State correspondent at Union:
/ Union, April 1.-THE Excelsior
knitting mills of this city will in the
next 80 days establish branch knit
ting mill at Newberry, with R. A.
Horn, formerly of Union, as resident
superintendent. .. -.
The mill will have as its present
equipment about so knitting machines
of the most improved pattern, viii
employ from IS to so operatives, and
will occupy building conveniently
located in the incorporate limits with
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens and
Southern railway siding facilities.
Electricity will be used as operating
power. The mill will devote its at
tention exclusively to the knitting Of
high grade hosiery, the. yarn to be
shipped from the mills here and the
completed hosiery to be returned here
for dyeing. It will be Under the same
management as the home concern, Of
which Mr.. Emslie Nicholson is presi-
dent and Mr.. J. H. Gault, treasurer
and manager. g
g. The Excelsior knitting mills began
operation in this city in 1897, in
very small corrugated iron building
and with Is machines, Is operatives
and capacity Of 1000 pairs Of hose
per day, but by careful and judi
cious management has built up busi-
ness which has justified the enlarging
Of the plant in every department, un-
til it now occupies two-story main
brick building so by 200 feet, contain
ing 800 machines with a daily eapac-
ity Of 10000 pairs Of hose, employing
525 operatives, has its own dye plant,
box factory and everything that will
facilitate marketing as we'll as max
ing it's own product, which it ships to
every city of Importance in the Un-
ion, besides England, South Africa,

THE CHANGE NOT TO BE MADE.
The Schedule on Southern Will Re-
main AS At Present-Change
Probably In the Fall.

1t has been learned from Columbia
that the passenger representatives Of
the Southern railroad held a meeting
: III Washington the earl y part of this
week to take mp the matter of arrang-
: ing the schedules for the summer, and
that at least for the present the pro
posed change Of schedule on the Co.
lumbia and Greenville division Of the
Southern will not be made effective.
There was vi igorous protest from
Anderson which is really not on the
main line from the Columbia and
Greenville division, but it seems that
the business men Of the city of Ander-
son were afraid that the proposed
change would result in such a change
Of schedule on. the Blue Ridge as to
inconvenience the people from Seneca
and other points between that place
and Anderson from coming to Ander-
son and returning the same day, as
they are permitted to do under the
present arrangement.
The prevailing reason probably
why the schedule will not be changed
is that the people from Charleston
and other points between Charleston
and Columbia object to the change
because it. would prevent them from
going to the mountains without max
ing stop Of several hours in Colum-
bia. Probably in the early fall after
the mountain travel is over for the
summer this matter will be taken up
again and. the public can then have
the winter months, to get accustomed
to the change: There are number Of
people in Anderson who would like to
see the change of schedule effected at
once. and we are satisfied if it were
put in operation that everyone along
the line from Greenvillee to Columbia
would soon agree that it was a much
better arrangement and much more
convenient schedule than the one We
have now. 80. -.
F. Superintendent Williams told a
representative Of The Herald and
News on Wednesday that he expect
ed to make such an arrangement that
the trains could be run on time. The
Southern going up yesterday, how
ever, was one hour late and has been
late every day for several weeks.
The railroad commissioners assured
us that if the change did not go into
operation that the representatives
from Newberry should be given a
hearing, but it seems that the change
which they agreed upon has
been reversed, and we have heard
nothing from the commissioners.
Probably they do not know Of the
meeting in Washington of the passen-
ger representatives Of the Southern.
This being campaign year it may be
that the commissioners do not care to
take the responsibility Of any change
or of any other matter. -.
