DANCE WITH DEATH"
Thrilling Historical Story by Col. D.
A. Dickert Soon to Start in The
Herald and News.

Col. D. A. Dickert will soon begin
his story, exclusively in The Herald
and News, of his and Sam Dixon's
"Dance with Death,' giving their
experience while bearers of secret dis
patches from Hardee's army, on the
Santee, to that Of the defeated army
Of Gen. Hood, then floundering
through this State and Georgia.
They were dressed in the garb Of
tramp Federal soldiers and twice
passed through the Union army.
Col. Dickert is no writer Of fiction,
but has written largely for the papers
and magazines, his army reminiscent
es and personal experiences. Those
who will feel an interest in this ex-
citing story should get the first copy,
as the story will run through several
issues of The Herald and News.

AN EXPLANATION.
Herald and News Missed Some Of
Mails Last Issue on Account Of a
Breakdown.

The last issue Of The Herald and
News missed some Of the mails on ac-
count of break in the press before
the first hundred copies had been
printed. Two Of the cog wheels were
damaged, an6 it was impossible to
continue the printing until these cogs
were repaired. The Newberry Obser-
YER very courteously allowed us the
use Of its press.
A good, clean piece Of work was
done by Mr.. C. NJ. West, in charge
of the machine shops at the Newber-
ry Cotton mill, in repairing The Her
aid and News press. He moulded new
COG wheels which were an exact tit
and the adjustment Of these cogs IS
very delicate-and he did the work
in a very short time on Friday morn
inc. It was a clever piece Of work,
quickly done.

GRAND LODGE OFFICERS.
High Officials of Masonic Grand
Lodge With Amity Lodge on
Wednesday Evening.

Amity lodge, No. 81, A. F. NJ, was

the Masters degree was conferred

The grand lodge officers in atten-
dance were: Grand Master J. L.
Niche, Of Darlington; Senior Grand

The degree work was in charge of

the officers Of the local lodge.
AN elegant supper was served by
Mr.. A. T. Brown, Of the Newberry
hotel, in the ante-rooms Of the
lodge.
Following the degree work brlet
addresses were made by the grand
lodge officers present, and by DR.. j.
W. Wolhng, DR.. J. Henry Harms, and
the Rev. C. W. Kelly.
l. In the remarks of Grand Master
Niche he took occasion to oompli-
ment very highly the work of the
lodge, but said that the excellent
showing made was no surprise to
him, coming from lodge in which
Senior Grand Warden Geo. S. Now
er and Past Master Fred 81. Dominick
| took so active an interest.
There was a large attendance of
the members of the lodge and visit
ing brethren, and the occasion was
one of pleasure and profit.

RURAL CARRIERS.
Will Have Dinner at Newberry May
31-Want Next State Conven'
tion to Meet in Newberry.

The rural carriers of the Newberry
office have decided to give a dinner to
the rest of the carriers and sub-ear-
riers of the county on the 3lst Of
May next. This date is the time for
the annual meeting of the county R.
L. c.. association but all carriers and
sub-earriers Of the county will be ID
tired to come whether members of
the association or not. An attractive
programme will be gotten out for the
occasion. During this meeting dele
gates to the State convention will be
elected. Each county association is
allowed one delegate-at-large and one
for each ten members or fraction
thereof. Thus: if Newberry enrolls
21 members she will be entitled
to four delegates in the State conven-
tion. The State convention meets
this year at Rock Hill and a strong
effort is going to be made by the
Newberry delegation to bring the next
State convention to Newberry. In
order to strengthen this delegation it
is hoped that the few carriers in the
county who have not yet joined the
association will see their way clear
to do so and that as many sub-car-
riers as can possibly do so will also
join. With good strong associa-
ton sending a large delegation to
Rock Hill next July and with the en-
couragement and backing Of our home
people the next convention can be
brought to Newberry.
Conventions are great advertising
agencies and especially is this true Of
rural carriers conventions because
the delegates belong to an occupation
that brings them in daily contact
with great many people-people of
all classes both in the towns and in
the country districts. It will be a
good thing for Newberry to have the
carriers from all over South Carolina
meet here in 1910.

DIR. HARMS TO FLORENTINES
An Interesting Sermon at Lutheran
Church in Florence and Talk
.. To Men Only.

Florence Times, 9TH.
The Rev. J. 81. Harms, president
of Newberry college, conducted two
very interesting services at the Luth-
eran church yesterday morning and
evening. Large congregations at
tended both services and enjoyed the
earnest words of the speaker very
mueh.
In the morning DR.. Harms took for
his theme, Christian Education, CIV
ing an exhaustive and convincing
study of it, showing that education
was carried out at the college which
he represented. His theme was dlvld-
ed into three parts, three visions of
Christian Education, First, the IN
ward vision, the recognition of the
talents and the capacity Of the per-
son. Second, Outward vision, the re-
aation Of a person to his neighbor and
the recognition Of his duty. Third,
the upward vision, the look toward
God. Newberry college teaches this
threefold vision of education.
IN :As evening DR.. Harms spoke
Of the Gift of Christ, the White stone
ef Forgiveness Of Sins TO Men. The
address was an able and enjoyable
one.
! In the afternoon DR.. Harms ad-
dressed the young men Of the city
at: the Baptist church. His theme
was the Good Man. The leading
characteristic of the Good Man was
conscience (responsive), his every
day guide and Influence. The Good
Man studied the word Of God, used
that as his true touch stone Of Chris
tian characters. He loved pure and
noble minded associates and sought
their company. A large number of
men heard the address and it was a
treat to them.

I understand Mr.. A. L. Wyse, Of
Saluda county, was in Newberry re-
Gently and he wanted to know from
the editor who The Idler is. | hear
he said that he could tell the differ
ence between water ground and steam
ground meal as soon as the hoecske
was put before him on the table, and
that the water ground meal made the
sweetest bread. He said he did not
know why it was unless the water
mill ran slower and therefore did not
heat the meal. But suppose the steam
mill also ran slow. [ have seen some
steam mills which ran very
slow. Then I heard MIR.
Wyse said that most Of the
water mills in his county used the
Clouds creek rocks and they made
the best meal. Well, it makes little
difference until our farmers grow
more corn because most Of them now
use bought meal which is bolted and
the old fashioned mills are about out
Of business.

also read in the newspapers where

additional contributions would be ac-

things you can eat and feed to your

In looking through some old papers
I found the following in the Clifton
Chronicle: "Any girl who has waste
basket in a fair state Of preservation

much cost. A few blossoms and red
ribbon will do the rest.'' thought
the styles we're not so large this sea-
son but when you come to think about
it they do turn down just a little
around the edges Of something after
the fashion of cooter shell. When
a pretty sweet face is beneath the
hat I never look at the hat very
much.

I found another paragraph in this

to print in this column because have
heard some people hereabouts speak

know, the papers have done blame

them than they ever did for the pa
pers and more for the town than they
ever will do if they live to be a thous-
and years old. And if everybody
supported the papers as they do there
would be no paper printed in New
berry. But listen to what this little
paper at Clifton has to say and read
it a second time: "When you hear a
man sneering at the local paper be-
cause it IS not big, cheap and neWsy
you can safely bet he does not squan-
der any of his wealth in assisting to
make it better and that generally the

has for it. The man who cannot see

of usurpers and that true merit lies
unchronicled in the grave, let us adj
dress a word or two of apology to that
much-berated enemy of the truth, the
