FOR SELLING WHISKEY.
Bud James Clark, Colored, Arrested
at Negro Barbecue at Helena on
Monday.

Bud James Clark. colored. possibly
thought that the members Of his race
would need an appetizer at their bar
becue at Helena on Monday. on the
occasion OF the celebration of the
glorious Fourth. Anyway, some Of the
members of his race accuse him Of
having had the appetizer there, for
all VINO had the price, and he is now
in Jail on the charge of violating the
dispensary law.
Magistrate John Henry Chappell
and Mr.. Davis, the intendant Of the
town of Helena, were sitting in bug
gy on Monday near where the negroes
were having their cue, on the look
out for any trouble that might occur,
when they saw two negroes engaged
in a fight. Intendant Davis, assisted
by Magistrate Chappell, arrested the
two negroes, and one Of them told Mr..
Davis if he would be light on them
he would put him on to" blind
tiger on the grounds. Intendant Davis
fined the negroes two dollars each for
fighting. The one who had promised to
put him on to" the blind tiger then
told him that he had bough quart
and a pint from Bud James Clark
that day-which was possibly enough
to put him in fighting humor.
Constable T. Grif Williams was on
the grounds and he was notified as
to what had been learned in regard
to Bud James, and he went in search
Of Bud. When Bud saw him coming
he ran, but was caught by Constable
Williams. warrant for his arrest
having been issued by Magistrate
Chappell upon the information given
by the negro who had been fined for
fighting.
1t is stated that Bud James had
something over fifteen dollars on his
person.
Prior to Bud James arrest there
was only one negro in jail-Jonas
Sutton. charged with forgery.

A UNIQUE. CONVENIENCE.
Its Adoption Would Save Time for
Several Of. h-wbery County's
Rural Carriers.

In the last issue Of the Farm and
Fireside appears az half-tone cut OF
UNIQUE convenience for rural mail
carriers, for use at places along the
routes where there are several mail
boxes at the same point. Its adoption
in this county would save considerable
time for several Of NeWberry coun-
tvs rural mail carriers. The novelty
is described as follows: ;
"It is a common sight, when riding
along a ruralfree-deivery route, to
find at some point where a branch
road joins the carrier route clus-
ter of from three to six mail-boxes
perched on stakes and strung along
in struggling group. Inthese the mail
carrier deposits the mail for several
families living off his direct route
"Such collection is always more
or less unsightly and not very con-
venient for the carrier, who has to
stop and start for every individual
box.
"Some enterprising farmers and
vineyardists Of Yates County, New
York, have hit upon very clever ar
rangement for obviating both these
difficulties. The illustration shows
aow it has been done,
"a heavy post was set firmly IN the
ground, and on this was mounted, so
as to revolve freely, an old wheel
from a hack wagon. On the rim OF
this the mail boxes were mounted
The wheel shown carries seven.
"The carrier now makes but one
stop, and by revolving the wheel Is
able to deliver the mail of seven fam
lies. The advantage both in con-
venience and appearance over the old
colony Of boxes is evident. Any handy
farmer can duplicate this arrange
ment.

It is only question Of time VIXEN
South Carolina will have improved
highways extending through parts Of
the State. When this step is taken
other portions not touched by the
thoroughfare will join in the move
ment and it Will be perfected.
A number Of papers in this. State
seem to be rather hard on the New
York Herald and Atlanta Journal in
regard to the proposed highway from
Atlanta to New York City. They seem
10 have formed the opinion that it is
merely an advertising scheme, pure
and simple, for these papers. OF
course it will benefit them, but the
good it will accomplish, in the way
of arousing the spirit of building good
roads. cannot be estimated. The rea-
son for lack Of cooperation, on the
part of some, is because they were
not made quite as prominent as was
desired.
But, as We said above, The Journal
Herald scout cars have aroused a
great deQ Of interest in building
good roads. We can see the effect OF
it right here in Greenwood county
and IN fact all along the proposed
route 4 highway will be built from
Charleston to Columbia. Why not ex-
tend it to Greenwood via Newberry
We feel satisfied that the citizens
along this route will give the move
ment every support desired.
We quote from The Newberry Her
aid and News on the subject:
"Even if the national highway is
to 90 via Augusta would not OH
friends in Columbia like to have a
road branching out from that point
via Newherry, Greenwood and Able
| vile and another via Laurens tc
Greenville from Newherry.'
The Columbia Record adds:
"We think We can safely say yes
for Columbia. The capital city is in
deed anxious to have good highways
leading out in all directions and i:
anxious to have good highways in
all portions of the State, whether they
reach Columbia directly or not.

CITADEL CADET MINSTRELS.
They Presented An Excellent Attrac-
tion in the Opera House on
Tuesday Evening.

Newberrv has seldom had the op-
portunity Of seeing As bright and at
tractive and enjoyable entertainment
Of its kind as was presented by the
! Citadel Cadet Minstrels in the opera
house on Tuesday evening. The at
traction deserved a much larger audi
ence than was present, but the audi
ence in attendance was appreclatlve.
and the cadets received encore after
encore. The performance was snappy
and high class throughout. The jokes
were new and bright, and the singing
was very excellent. The show thro ugh
out was a great deal more enjoyable
than many Of the high-priced attrac-
tionS which have been presented in
the State in recent years by profess
sional minstrel aggregations. The
end men were exceptionally good, and
"Major Crane' Osborne made quite
a hit. In the vernacular of the stage,
he was "there with the goods" and
he handed them out in such laughable
style that he was clearly seen to be
one of the favorite "sons Of Ham,"
The part "Bamboo Land deserves
special mention. 1t was a show with
in itself. and was replete with the
kind of wholesome fun which appeals
to an audience. The dancing was
rare, and brought rounds of applause
from the audience.
"Booker Crum'' did some high
class singing, and the famous Jed
bury Symphony Concert Band"
comes in for its share Of the praise.
This band. led by "Sargent George
Jenkins" (Rogers) made a decided
hit. and was one Of the most laugh
able parts in the whole show.
The silent drill showed the style Of
drilling the cadets from the Citadel.
the "West Point of the .South,' do.
Of course. they achieve this degree of
perfection only from long and patient
practice. 1t is very pretty and looks
very easy when it is gone through
with by the cadets in their character
istic snappy way. but one must re-
that such efficiency is not got
easily, and the cadets deserve much
credit for their untiring efforts and
obedience to orders, necessary to
reach this high degree Of success. The
Citadel exacts much of her soldier
boys.
The "awkward squad" did not
put up a drill that could be called
classy, from the standpoint of effect
i've drilling in the sense Of following
the drill regulations, but their drill
was extremely ridiculous and laugh
able, as it was intended to be.
The last part was like the rest OF
the show in one way it was very
excellent. This part was a burlesque
on Verdi's opera, I'll Trovatore,'
and it was a burlesque indeed. The
"IlI Treated Trovatore"' was good.
and made an excellent closing part,
leaving the audience highly pleased.
The cadets are ameteurs, of course,
but their performance is one which
will take anywhere, and those who did
not attend on Tuesday evening missed
a rare treat
Newberry enjoyed having the ca
diets in her midst.
