The following was received by a
gentleman in Newberry from a citiz-
en- of this county, who evidently has
been watching the progress Of our
streets:
"Hope you are enjoying good
health and will live to see all the
streets of Newberry paved as advo-
Gated by The Herald and News.
Should you be so fortunate you will
prabably be the Oldest man that
walked the streets Of the city"
We hope our friend is mistaken in
his prediction as to street improve
ment in Newberry. The citizen who
received the letter is younger man,
in years at least, than the editor OF
The Herald and News and the :editor
has hoped that he will live to see and
enjoy paved streets and sidewalks IN
the city.
We confidently expect the present
administration to begin permanent
work of this kind as soon as weather
conditions permit and if We can once
get even a small section Of our
streets paved the demand will be so
great for its extension tnat even the
oldest inha5itant will have the op-
portunity of living to enjoy some OF
this work.

A decidedly unusual transaction, in

are concerned, reached a climax in
the city Of Columbia on Monday night
of this week, a1d the stories told Of
the proceedings leading up to this
transaction serve to make the matter
all the more mysterious. A four room
dwelling On the northeast corner OF
\ Huger and Senate streets was the
scene; hour not known, but, from
best reports obtainable, between 8
O'Clock Monday niglt and "an early

The facts as obtained yesterday

The legislature meets today. There
are many important matters to come
up for consideration. It is very
probable that much time will be con-
sumed discussing the whiskey ques-

wanted with the house that made
them so anxious for il and she states
that 'BlackwcIi' said: II want it
for special buSiness.''
Persistent Efforts TO Get House.
She says they left, after she refus-
ed to rent it to them, but that few
days la;er the first named Of the tN 0
men called again and insisted that
she quote price for the rent Of the
house, that they were willing to pay
her more than she was at that time
getting for it. She again Informed
"Mr. Fuller' that she did not care
to make any change in her renters as
the man she had in the house had
been there a long time and was good
pay and she preferred to let him re-
mail rather than rent the house to
some enc else even if she got more
money. She says this man stated
that they were willing to pay a high
er price than she was getting and
would lease the property for II
months.
She says she asked him where
"Mr. Blackwell" was from and
what he expected to DO with the
house. "Mr. Fuller'' Informed ner,
she states, that his friend was from
North Carolina and was coming to
Columbia to work for the boat COM
pany. Being unable to get her to agree
to rent the property, She says the
man asked ler for what she would
sell it, and on this she stated that she
would have to consult her husband.
She says that he called aagin and
siae told him that she would take $3,-
0GO for the property. He didn't ap-
pear to wish to pay that figure and
again asked her what she would rent
it for, saying that she would find
BLACKWELL" a good renter and
prompt pay, etc. According to her,
she finally agreed to let them have
the house for $25 per month, al
though she had been getting but $9
per month for it. Notwithstanding
this apparently exodbitant figure,
the gentleman took her up at the
proposition. She wanted a lease
signed up for IL months, with the
provision that the money be payable
monthly in advance. This was agree
able and she was asked to be pre-
pared to turn the house over as early
as possible.
The lease was fixed up and she no.

Il FOOLISH NOTION or DEITY.

''Man does not feel the need of god in prosperity,
but when adversely falls him and the world has
turned its back upon him, he feels the need Of an
almighty father, and in that hour man naturally
turns to god''
The above argument made few days ago by
a Christian FRIEND who had been trying III vain to
convince that the Christian deity a verify,
real, solid and substantial existence with the power
and inclination to render aid to in the hour Of
distress and misfortune 1t may be that many other
Freethinkers have met with similar experiences.
Anyhow, the argument is not altogether one
1t has been presented before. New verbiage may be
used to dress it up differently but it is the doc
trine contained in the text 'the lord will provide"
Any god who cannot be with man in prosperity but
must bring misfortune upon him in order to induce
a belief in his existence, is not worth the price Of
powder to blow him into hades. A real god, good
bent, with righteous ntendmen no thought save
for the welfare and continued happiness of his crea
lures, would never create conditions that bring ad
