Quaryville, Lancaster county, Pa. He
is an active Democrat and intimate
friend and trusted conSellor Of VIM.
Bryan, who never comes east without
consulting with him. He is an ini-
nutable recontoner and was telling
stories to an improvised crowd in
court house square ten minutes after
he touched the town. A half hour later
he had inspected all the cold Oliver
Chilled pillow agencies, and knew the
relation Of surplus to capital Of ev-
ery bank in Newberry.
W. Z. Hensel OH being asked for
an interview said the unexpected an
nouncement in the Lutheran church
Sunday morning that he was to make
an address at the college chapel Mon
day morning had made him speech
less. Inasmuch, however. as The
Herald and News would not 60 to
press until he got out of town he did
not hesitate to say the pleasure OF his
visit to Newberry was .threefold. He
had come, first and with premedita-
ton, as friend Of Justice Brown.
Within a half hour he had made so
many acquaintances Of so many fine
feIlows-lawyerS, preachers, teachers,
merchants, manufacturers and gen.
tlemen that he was quite prepared to
stay on his own account.
Finally he wanted to see the "New
South.'' He had seen it and was
satisfied yet with all the phe-
nomenal growth Of Birmingham, and
Atlanta, and the historical splendor
of Charleston, had seen no place as
satisfactory as this.
Here arc the natural Lutheran con-
ditions. Here are the vital relation
Of white and black; here is the mani
fest Influence Of the church and col
Ieee and the absence Of the saloon.
Here are the results Of a composite
citizensbip-Quaker, German, Presby-
teriau and Hueuenot-such as make
no the settlement of Lancaster coun-
ty, Pennsylvania. On every side, Mr..
Hensel said, he saw objects, places,
persons and subjects Of interest and
would be impelled to come hack.
