holder in one of the departments
into his private Office. When the
man entered the governor was
unusually afable and in a rare

the car. The belated passenger,

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No
Brownsville Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

Danger signal No. l comes from
the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are
sick. Well kidneys excrete clear,
amber fluid. Sick kidneys send
out thin, pale and foamy, or a
thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full
of sediment and irregular of pas
sage.
Danger signal No. 2 comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you
of sick kidneys and warn you OF
the coming of dropsy. diabetes
and Bright's disease. Doau's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
cure them permanently.
Mrs. c. H. Blain, living out on
the Bluff, Corpus Christi, Texas,
says: My grandchild, about eight
years old commenced to be troubled
by kidney or bladder ailment
about a year ago. At first I could
not conceive what was the matter,
however the symptoms got more
pronounced and 1 watched her
closely. She seemed to have no
power to retain the kidney secre-
tons and also complained of a
pain in the back of her neck and
head. Procuring Doan's Kidney
Pills, I was gratifed to see the
change for the better within very
short time. 1 have great faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills and can
heartily endorse them.

STILL WANTS LWHESTYGA-
TON.

The Brownsville outrage con-
tinues to hold the attention of con-
gress and will probably do so for
the remainder of the week. The
President has sent his message to
the Senate accompanied by the
evidence recently taken in Browns
vile, together with the Springfield
army rifle bullets that were dug
from the walls of the houses here
and the empty shells that were
picked up on the streets the day
after the raid. Even in the light
of all this testimony, Senator For
aker insists upon an investigation,
as claiming as his reason that:
This testimony has been taken be-
hind closed doors, as other was,
without anybody representing the
men" Mr.. Foraker contends that
the men charged with the crime
are entitled to hearing, and in
that he is quite right. Any per-
son who is charged with crime is
entitled to a fair hearing. Browns
vile is as anxious as Foraker can
be to have the matter investigated
publicly.

the burial of such officers and SOL
diers in the United States army in
the war of Mexico, who fell in
battle, or died in or around said
city, and for the interment Of
American citizens who have died
or may die in said city" By act
of congress of July 81, 1852, q
further sum of 81, 1904 was ap-
propriated for the cemetery. By
subsequent acts of congress other
appropriations were made for the
purpose of keeping up the GEM
etery, and by act of March 8,
1873, the cemetery was declared to
be subject to the rules and regula-
tons affecting United States GEM
eteries within the territory of that
country, and authority was given
for its care and maintenance out of
the annual appropriations for ma
tional cemeteries.
The cemetery, which is laid off
in the form of an oblong square
and contains about two acres of
land, was transferred by Manuel
Lopez to the United States govern
ment in 1851 for the sum of
s., 900. The property is now very
valuable, being worth about $780,
900, and the city limits reach
within a few feet of its walls. It
is fenced with substantial stone
and brick walls, and on its west
side flows the Rio Consolado,
which, however, is now partly filled
with earth, the drainage, of the
cemetery being by means of the
city pipes that are laid from
Tlaxpana.
1,522 INTERMENT RECORDS.
The total number of persons
inferred in the cemetery at present
numbers 1 ,522. OF these $50 are
the remains of the soldiers who
were killed in this valley during
the war with Mexico and who were
buried in 1851, all of which lie
under single monument, in one
mound. Since 1851, 772 persons
have been inferred, and among
them are twelve veterans of the
civil war and several Confederate
soldiers. 1t is calculated that, at
the most economical utilization of
the ground within the cemetery,
not more than 100 more persons
can be buried there. The Gem
etery is now closed to all persons
those who have served in
the armies of the United States
and to the members of their i'm
mediate families.
Colonel Powers is tbs third SUI
perintendent who has had charge
Of the cemetery since its opening
in 1851. The first of these was
William Edgar and the second |
was the late Captain John Ayres.

admit that the condition Of our streets

the public fund in the paving Of some,
at least, Of The streets of Newberry.
If there be such a one, we would be
clad TO have him hold up his hand
or give us some indication that there
is such a citizen in Ncwberry. We are
satisfied that if there is, if he could
see some Of these streets paved. that
he would be ashamed to let it be
known that he ever opposed such a
movement.

Nothing means quite so much to the
development Of country as good
roads. With the right sort Of hi gh-
ways from one end Of Greenvillc coun-
~ TO the other, the rich farming lands
at the foot Of the mountains and
those in Fairview township would be
doubmled in value. The outlying dis
tricts would see their greatest devel-
opment for they would no longer be
at disadvantage in reaching the
markets.
Spartanburg and Anderson coun-
ties are both about to begin pcrma-
nent road building and the money to
be expended will be raised through
large bond issues.
When the advance in property val
ues ard the consequent increase in
tax returns is considered, money
spent in permanent road building is
the ideal investment.
The above from the Grecnvillc
News will apply with equal force to
NcWb2rrv county.
We have :or several years written
IL season and out Of season on the
value n'I importance nf good roads
for the rural communities. We we're

fine roads which they are building in
thAt t;hinty They are going al it
III thu rich; way. Instead O.: patching
ur The holes, they have secured an
cn:u!rcr and they are ;virg ont new
road beds. This should be done by any
county where it is undertaken to
build roads as they should be built.
The only way to secure first class
roads is to pay for them and the pro-
per way to raise the money is by is
suing bonds. and if we could get a
start once made and few miles of
good road built, there would be lit
tie difficulty in having the work ex-
tended, because when the people once
saw and travelled the good roads, they
would not be satisfied until more
were built. and they could not make a
better investment. We hope some day
to see the movement started in the
right direction in Newberry county.

NEW TRIAL REFUSED,
Judge Purdy Will Not Disturb Yer
dict In Case Of Harmon '.
F.. H.. b.. Cook. '.as.5 .....-

In tie case of w. B. Harmon v.
). l.. Cook, in which verdict for
$500 was rendered for the plaintiff,
Judge Purdy has refused a new trial.
His order is as follows:
1t is very difficult to settle such
questions as are raised on the motion
for new trial in this case. While
the act Of the defendant may appear
to be trivial, and, too trivial to war
rant so large verdict, yet just such
acts as this bring about disturbances
or the peace of a community, and,
sometimes death. That the plaintiff
took peaceful method, instead Of a
violent method, under the circumstan-
ccs, is most fortunate. If the defend
ant deemed his right a proper one to
be cXarcissd, he should not have
threatened its enforcement with
shotgun. The jury heard The whole
case, knew the parties, their surround
ings and their means, and have put
upon the defendant Il heavy penalty
in the shape of verdict, to deter
him and others from doing acts which
tend to lead to a breach of the peace.
1t ought to be salutary lesson and
[ will not disturb the verdict.
The motion for new tria! is re-
fused

four times what they would cost by

chased from the common people"
This we probably should have
known also, but it had not occurred
to us that the farming operations at
Winthrop were so extensive on cost
ly 1t may be that the young ladies
are taught farming there also. The
Advertiser concludes thus: "There-
fore it seems advisable that the farm
be sold to the highest bidder and that
Winthrop be put in the class with
other seminaries for young ladies so
far as the farming business is con-
cerncd." This conclusion is all right
and proper if the Advertiser is GER
tain that this farm at Winthrop is
not used for the purpose Of teaching
the young ladies the science of farm
ing as we'll rs for furnishing the tooth
some delicacies to which it refers.
Before we can agree to the conclu-
sion by the Advertiser, we must sat
isfy ourselves that the only purpose
Of this farm is to grow dclicacics for
the young ladies, and even then why
should not the young ladies at Win
throp have these lclicacies.
