ROWDIES STARTED A RIOT

The Rev c. Huber. pastor of the St.
Paul's Lutheran church OF this city.
made a county local option speech Sat-
urday at Waymansville, Bartholomew
county, and he was treated very dis
courteously. Just at the point when
his remarks were most fervent, young
men seated in the rear Of the church
began to scrape their feet and disturb
the meeting. 1t was finally necessary
for the speaker to ask the young men
to leave the room.
Afterwards. according to a Colum-
bus, Ind. dispatch, these young men
began stoning the church. which is
Of frame construction. 1t was neces-
sary for the men in attendance to leave
the meeting and drive the disturbers
away. After peace had been restored
the meeting was again resumed Rev.
Huber could not be seen today, but his
wife stated that he made no reference
to his treatment at the hands of the
Waymansville audience.

to rebuild the plant. Adjustors are
expected in the city within few days

Mr. Lontx says, he is unable even to
approximate the loss AS he does not
know how much really was saved.
After Mr.. Lontz was called to the fire

UNIVERSALIST SERVICE.
Sermon By DR.. Jno. S. Cook, Recent
ly Placed in Charge of Universal
ist Churches in This State.

Rev. DIR. Jno. S. Cook. recently
placed in charge Of the Universalist
churches in South Carolina, who has
selected Nevberry as his place Of
residence. conducted services in the
new court house on Sunday after
noon. A large congregation was pres
ent.
DR.. Cook is an eloquent speaker, a
very attractive pulpit orator, and his
sermon was enjoyed by those fortun-
ate enough to have the opportunity
to hear him. He presented for the
consideration of his hearers state
ment of the declarations Of faith Of
the UniversaliSt church. This state
ment corrected in many respects the
false views commonly held as to the
faith of Universaists. One Of the
statements of the speaker was this:
eff any of you come here, expecting
to find In the doctrine Of religion as
taught by the Universalists some way
to escape punishment for the sins you
have committed, or may commit, you
will be disappointed. We believe in
punishment for sin, that the punish
ment is certain and sure and suffi-
cient''
The minister remarked that his
church believed in the final harmony
Of all souls with God, but that this
salvation only came after the sinful
soul had been made pure by the pun
ishment meted out to it by a just
God. "The Universalists believe not
only in a a.just God, but a God of
love and mercy. and that His mercy
endureth forever.'' said DR.. Cook.
DR.. Cook will speak again in the
; same place on Sunday, January "a,
at 3 p. m. Doubtless large number
will attend the service, for the SER
mons of the minister are entertaining
and instructive. There are only a
few Universalists in Newberry. but
those that are here are earnest IN
their religious belief. DR.. Cook made
it very plain that he came not to at
tack other churches, that he came not
! ITO make Universalists, but that his
prime purpose is to make men and
women better, and he welcomes to
,, his services all denominations.

Serious Cutting ARRAY.

A serious cutting affray between
two negro women occurred In the
public road between Newberry and
Endsay's bridge over Bush river at
late hour on Saturday night. The
parties were Ida Lindsay and Emma
Davis. It appears the Lindsay wo-:
man and her husband had separated,
and it was about him the two women
were fussing. The fuss started in a
house on Mr.. G. NJ. B. Epting's place.
and it is said that after some words
had passed the Lindsay woman start
ed to town. and was overtaken IN the
road by the Davis woman and Jim
Lindsay, the former husband Of the
Lindsay woman, who pursued her IN
hack, and it was there in the road,
about two miles from town, that the
cutting occurred. It appears there
was only one knife, which Was used
first by the Davis woman and after
wards secured and used by the Lind
say woman, both being cut. The
Lindsay woman had several gashes in
the back Of her head and neck, and
her left cheek was split open from her
ear to the front of her face, and her
thumb on the ri ght !hand was almost
severed from the hand. The other
woman was cut in the breast, but her
wounds were not so serious. 1t Is
stated that during the affair the negro
man drew his pistol and dared any
body to seperate the women, and
some say that he struck the Lindsay
woman with stick.
Following the affair the women
came to town anI the Lindsay woman
was given attention by Dr.. Houseal,
who took a number of stitches about
her person.
Policeman Franklin Immediately
investigated the affair, but it having
occurred outside the city limits. the
town had no jurisdiction.

GO cents on the hundred dollars).
Every farmer in the county should
carry some insurance in the Farmers
Mutual. When neieihbor sustainS
a loss we feel it our duty to help. If
we carry insurance then we help, and
are protected at the same time. The
annual meetings are not attended bv
policy holders as they should be.
Some say that the company is doing
so we'll, We have good men to manage
If. I am satisfied Others say the di-
rectors don't do their duty, haven t
been around inspecting, etc., when
they themselves are somewhat to
blame. They should come to the
meetings and help elect directors
from the most active men.
The company requires that the pro-
perty insured be kept in good re-
pair.
Wherever a policy holder sells his
property or changes any of his build
ings, he should notify the director of
the township in which he lives or the
agent of the county.
