CITY DEMOCRACY.
Citizens Meeting Called for NoVem-
Der 3-The City Campaign Will
Open.

DR.. 0. B. Mayer, chairman of the
city Democracy, issues a call In this
issue for a meeting Of the citizens in
council chambers on the evening OF
November 3rd for the purpose Of ar
ranging a city primary for the noml-
nation Of a mayor and aldermen. AT
this time a commissioner Of public
works is also to be chosen.
So far city politics has been eS:""d-
inglv quiet. It is very probable that
the mayor and aldermen Will be re-
nominated without opposition. The
present council has been progressive
and aggressive and many improve
ments have been made. There is still
room, however, for many more i'm
provements, and the intention Of the
present administration is to go tc
work and pave some Of our Streets
and make other needed improvements
and as a matter of fact the term OF
office should be two years instead OF
one.
Mayor Langford is announced In
this issue as a candidate for reelec-
ton, and. as stated, will probably
have no opposition.

BRIDGE NEARLY COMULETED.
Approaches On Both Sides Built
Steel Work Well Under Way
Soon Ready.

Work on the steel bridge at Hig-
gins Ferry is progressing very nicely,
and it is expected to have the work
sufficiently advanced so that the
bridge may be used by Saturday Of
this week. The approach on the New
berry side has been completed and
is said to be in first class shape. It
was completed by Supervisor Wicker
with the chain gang. The approach
on the Saluda side is also practically
complete. but those who have seen it
say that it is not a first class job.
Mr.. Arthur Werts, who lives near
the river on the Newberry side, gives
it as his opinion that the Saluda ap-
proach will be unsafe in that the
stringers in some places do not reach
on the sills more than one and orr
half inches. Of course it is taken
for granted that before the bridge is
accepted these details will be looked
into. It is very important to the
people Of Newberrv and the people
Of Sa]uda to have this bridge in SER
vice just as soon as possible.
Newberry is the natural market for
large portion Of Saluda county
along the river and on account Of the
bridge being down they have not been
able to get here with their cotton,
and. of course, that means that a
good deal Of trade that naturally be-
longs to Newberry goes elsewhere.
This bridge was swept away by the
freshet in August and it was thought
the bridge could be replaced in two
or three weeks and effort was directed
to the bridge rather than the build
ing Of a ferry. It has been nearly
two months but every one is delight
ed that the bridge will soon be in
service.

CASE OF PELLAGRA.
Anne Schumpert, Colored Woma
Examined by Physicians-Sent to
Hospital for Insane.

In the opinion Of Drs. James NJ.
Kibler and W. G. Houseal, Il case o1
prllayra has developed in NewberrH.
The patient. who is a negro woman
about 60 years old was taken to the
Hospital for the Insane in Columbia
yesterday, to be placed in charge OF
DR.. J. W. Babcock. who has recently
made thorough study Of this dis
ease.
Anne Schumpert, the negro woman.
has been sick for about six months.
On Friday Drs. Kibler and Houseal
were called in to examine her for
iunacy. Each diagnosed the case as
pellagra. She has inflammation Of
the skin similar to eczema; and for
the past five or six months there has
been a gradual emaciation Of her
body. She has an extreme pallor,
from the impoverished condition Of
the blood, and an extremely weaken
ed nervous system, which has devel-
oped into insanity The case was i'm
mediately reported to DR.. Babcock.
and, as stated, she was taken to Co.
lumbia yesterday.
Anne Schumpert is the wife of
"Fish Dick" Schumpert, an old neg
70 who is we'll known in Newberry on
account Of his staunch loyalty to the
white people, having voted the Demo
cratic ticket in 1876 and continuous
ly since. His wife has been very
large eater Of corn bread, and the
opinion is that the pellagra has been
developed from defective Western
corn.
After the diagnosis of Drs. Kibler
and Houseal, DR.. P. G. Ellesor and
DR.. W. E. Pelham, Jr., saw the case
and they concurred in the diagnosis
of the other physicians.

A. R, P. SYNOD.
Will Meet in Newberry First Of No
vember- About Two Hundred
Delegates Expected.

The A. r. P. Synod will hold its
meeting this year in Newberry begin
ming Nov. 18th. The membership Of
this denomination is not ,ory large
but extends through several States
and it is expected that there will be
from $50 to 200 delegates present at
this convention. They come as tar
North as Virginia and as far West
as Texas. Arrangements are being
made by the members Of the Newber-
ry church for the entertainment OF
the Synod, and committees for that
purpose have been named.
While this denomination is not
large numerically an examination OF
their statistical reports will show that
they contribute more to the cause OF
missions and the general work of the
church per capita than probably any
other denomination in this country.
The synod will be held in the
handsome new church in East Main
street which has recently been built.
As soon as the completed list Of the
delegates and visitors is made up and
the assignment Of homes completed
the list will be published.

Two Schools Enter Contest.

Some time ago the county superin-
tendent Of education gave notice that
the time for entering the contest for
the prizes offered by the rural school
Improvement association of South
Carolina would close on the 10th of
this month.
Only two schools have entered the
contest and they are both in the low
er section Of the county.
Excelsior, taught by Miss Sudie
Mae Boulware; and Mt. Pilgrim
taught by Miss Mamie Counts.
It was hoped more schools would
enter the contest because even if the
prize was not won the school would
be better for the effort made.
The association by the last legisla
ture was given a small appropriation
for this purpose. The idea was tt
encvrr.ge IN effort to improve
the appearance Of the country
school and to arouse more
interest in these schools by the teach
er. and pupils and by the parents an(
citizens Of the community.
