afternoon.
The cid fair grounds are bounded
by Main, Douglas, Johnstone and
Hunt streets. Desirable lots can be
obtained on each Of these four
streets. \ plat Of the property and
the lots. with the size Of each lot:
has been published in The Herald
and News.
Tie grounds were purchased by
.Messrs. c. E. Summer and j., D.

the property into building lots to be
sold to home builders. The selling
agents are Messrs. F. R. Hunter and
W. K. Sigh.
Those contemplating buying pro-
perty in Newberry Will find it to
their advantage to attend the sale
this afternoon.
The sale Of this property brings to
mind very strangely the remarkable
srow;h of Newberry during the past
few years. Only a short while ago
all the north side Of Main street,
from the corner where Mr.. Goggans
lives, to the town limits, was uade-
valoped. This entire property ha;
been cut into lots and sold. There
ere now 80 or IS residences on this
Jones property. It's value has in
creased many fold. just how many,
il would surprise our own people
to know. Every mali who bought
there has made a god tking Of it.
The old fair grounds is the only
large area in this part Of the town
that has not passed into the hands
Of the small holders and home build
ers.
Wha; is true Of the DEVELOPMENT
il this section Of the town is true Of
almost every other section. Go
where you will and there you find
new homes, or homes Under construc-
ton. It is difficult to keep up with
the building; it does not decrease.
The so-called financial strlngelcy
does not slacken it in the least.
And yet, strange to say, the de-
mand for homes cannot be met. There
is not house for rent. People come
mere from other places expecting to
remain, but must 60 away because
homes cannot be had. Our greatest
need today is more homes. Let us
build them, that every one who de-
sires to come here may find a place
to stay.

ly manhood, continuously, up to
within a short time Of his death,
with the exception Of the four years
which he spent in the defence Of the
Southern Confederacy. His prac-
tice was large, and owing to his kind
and generous disposition HE was as
attentive to the poor, from whom he
knew he would receive no financial
remuneration, as he was to the more
wealthy, and therefore he did great
deal of work for which, he made no
charge. 49,.
He was a man of strong physical
endurance. as well as strong charac-
ter, and had great success IN the
practice of his profession. Up to the
time of his illness he wens his rounds
on horseback.
He was generous and kind and
much beloved by the people for whom
he practiced his profession for fully
half century.
Dr.. Ruff was twice married. his
first wife being Miss Elvira L. Su-
Der. a daughter Of Capt. E. Suber:
By that marriage he is survived by
two children, Mrs. Minnie Caldwell
and Miss Lizzie Ruff. His second wife
was Mrs. John C. Chaplin. She sur
wives him.
Dr.. Ruff was Mason AID was bu-
ried by the Masons on Wednesday
at 10 o'clock at the old Suber grave
ward, about a mile from his home at.
Nit. Pleasant.
Bv the last marriage there were no
children Int thew have one adopted
daughter, Miss Annie 0. Ruff:
DR.. Ruff was a Methodist and the
services were conducted at the fun
oral by the Rev. J. j. Long, pastor
Of the St. Matthews Lutheran church.
During the war DR.. Ruff was lieu
tenant of his company and then sur
geon.
His pater1al grandmother, was
dughater Of Haximiliam Hay
ME, family that came to that Sec
ton of Newberry county from Flr-
oinia and was remarkable for their
longevity. :
Mr.. Haynie lived to the ripe OLD
age Of ninety-tnree years and Judge
O'Neall in his Annals says, "took
no medicine and like most Of the old
people of the Revolutionary War
was scarcely ever sick" Out Of his
five slaves four of them lived to at
tain the same great age.
DR.. Ruff's father died at the age
Of about ninety years and his uncle,
DIR. Pressly B. Ruff, was ninety-on7
or two at his death and until his re-
cent illness. DR.. Ruff was hearty and
robust, and did not appear to be a
man over sixty.
He was a good citizen as we'll as
physician and will be greatly missed
in the community where he spent
his long and useful life. "

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener-
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
it is prepared for the market. The
supply of common salt, the most in
dispensable of all the seasoning sub
stances both as a relishing condiment
and a well-nigh universal food pre-
sentative, is exhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt, says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing of it's exposure to all
kinds of dirt in its shipment from sea-
ports. The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture of ice
creams, comes to the United States
in holds of vessels continually sub
jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
its arrival 1t is again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition 1t reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product OF
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 40
100000 bushels, the state of New York
in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing
a large proportion of this important
supply,

For Reciprocity.

Some people who called at the White
House Saturday brought away the
somewhat startling information that
the president will shortly send a mes
sage TO congress, asking for legisla-
ton authorizing a complete recipro'
city treaty with Germany and the
theory is that he is to do this TO hold
off a movement now pending between
Germany and Canada for a treaty
which will en-; the German empire
to get grain an heat products from
the Dominion to replace those which
are expected to cease coming from
the United States March l. when the
present trade relations between Ger
many and the United States will either
have to be settled or cease in a very
large measure by reason of the eXpira-
ton of the agreement between the two
countries extending the old tariffs un-
I'll that date.
The president will send in his mes
sage, it is stated. as soon as the COM
mission now in Germany to arrange a
trade agreement, reports.
