BIG LAND DEAL.
Means the Erection of Third Cotton
Mill in Newberry-Mr. W.
Y. Fairs Place.

Mr.. William Y. Fair has sold his
home place, about one mile north Of
Newberry, to Mr.. Foster \. Martin
and Mr.. George S. Mower for $4,000.
i The deed was made and the money
paid on Tuesday.
It was mentioned in The Herald
and News some weeks ago that these
gentlemen had secured an option on
this place with a view to building
cotton mill. They decline to talk on
this subject at present, but it is en-
tirely probable that the land has
been purchased for the purpose of
erecting a cotton mill, and the fact
that they have bought it is strong
evidence that they have all Of their
other arrangements made and no
doubt will begin very soon to organ
ize and to build another cotton mill
in Newberry.
T:,e place contains about two hun
lred and fifty acres Of land. por-
ton of it in the incorporate limits of
the city and all of it adjoining the
city. It is admirably located for the
purpose Of building a mill. convent
cnt to the city and the c.. n. & L.
railroad runs through the plantation
50 that the mill could be erected on
tie railroad without the necessity OF
any great amount Of spur track. A
SOUR track could also be run to the
Southern at very little expense.
We trust that these gentlemen will
soon have their organization complet-
ed and that work will be commenced
on a third mill for Newberry in the
near future.

SENT TO THE CHAIN GANG.
The Three Negroes Who Were With
Kemp Get Thirty Dads Each for
Shooting on Public Highway.

The three other negroes. Lee Payne,
George Mangum and Cap Ebo, who
were in company with Rich Kemp on
last Saturday in No. 6 Township,
where the latter was killed by Mr..
Livingston and all Of. them were pro-
miscuously shooting upon the public
highway, were arrested on Tuesday
by Constable Chappell, and brought
before Magistrate C. G. Blease on the
charge of shooting upon the public
highway. Mr.. Chappell was assisted
in making the arrests by Cole L.
Blease. ESQ.,. who was at the inquest.
Payne and Ebo pleaded guilty and
were sentenced to pay fine Of $50
each, or thirty days on the county
chain gang; Mangum pleaded not
guilty and went into a trial and was
convicted. He was sentenced to pay
d fine Of $100. or serve thirty days
upon the county chaingang. All three
of them took the days. When they
have served out this sentence, it is
probable that they will be taken be-
fore the sessions court on more SER
ious charge.

Counted Cross Ties to Edgefeld.

A. S. Tompkins, Esq.,, spent por-
tion of last week in Union on busi-
ness. While returning home on Fri
day afternoon, ne chanced to meet
DR.. Geo. B. Cromer and Congressman
Wyatt Aiken at Trenton, who were al
so coming to Edgefeld. Instead of
waiting several hours for the train
to go to Aiken and return to Edge
field, they decided to walk to this
place. The two long-legged gentlemen
thought Mr.. Tompkins, who is a light
weight, physically, would soon fall
by the wayside. But not so. Mr..
Tompkins is so accustomed to walk:
ing that starting him on journey
afoot is about like pitching Brer Rab-

Or. Williams Pink Pills a Specific
For Anaemia and a Safe Family
Medicine.

When the body becomes run down,
either as a result of overwork, worry
or a evere illness, an examination Of
the blood would show it to be weak
and watery. This condition is called
anaemic, which is the medical term
for ~"bloodless." The common symp-
toms are paleness of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss
Of appetite.

for over a month and vas under the

get up my legs were so weak and I'M
steady that I could only walk with a
cane with difficulty.

In the sparsely settled districts Of

the mainstay as fuel in cooking, and
where wood is scarce and dear. the
empty lve-gallon a in which the
liquid is sold has come to have a con-
siderable vogue as a building material.
