Trihnte of Respect.

Alexander T. Brown, a member OF
Bergell Tribe, No. "a, I. O. R. NJ, was
called from his earthly labors on the
18th day of August, 1909.
Indeed it is hard for us to under
stand the manner in which the Great
Spirit performs his mysteries; but
we question not his divine wisdom.
In the death of our deceased broth
er the city Of Newberry, the county OF
Newberry and the State of South Car
olina have lost a citizen Of whose REG
ord each should be proud, for in the
performance Of his duties to each OF
these it can be truly said Of him that
he was faithful to each and every
trust; his family have lost the strong
arm of his support and the love OF a
devoted husband and father, and this
Tribe a member who at all times could
be demanded upon to defend and pro-
tect it, practicing as he did at all
times Freedom, Friendship and Char-
ty, proving to the world that the
principles of this order were foremost
in his mind and heart
Resolved, l. That the sympathy ot
the members of this Tribe are ex-
tended to the family and relatives Of
the deceased.
Resolved, 2 That these resolutions
be sperad upon our minutes, that a
copy thereof be forwarded to his fam
lily, and that they be published IN the
newspapers Of the county.

LOSS BY FIRE.
Magistrate Chappell's Barn Burned
Believed to Be the Work Of
Incendiaries. 4.

Magistrate John Henry Chappell's s
barn. short distance out Of the city,
on the O'Neall bridge road, was
burned to the ground on Tuesday
night at about ten o'clock. The barn
was a modern two-story structure OF
its kind. and contaiend a quantity of
feed. The loss, including barn and
contents. is conservatively estimated
at about $1,000. Less than half Of
the loss was covered by insurance.
Magistrate Chappell was in New
berry at the time, in attendance upon
a meeting Of Cateechee council, De-
gree Of Pocabontas. When he reached
his home the barn had fallen in. Mrs.
Chappell was at home, with only her
small children, and the fire was we'll
under way when they discovered it.
Fortunately for Magistrate Chappell,
his stock were away from home at the
time. Had they been at home and IN
the barn. they would have been
burned.
1t is believed that the fire was OF
incendiary origin. It started IN the
portion of the barn filled with dry
food-stuffs, and the eonfagration was
rapid. The presence Of tracks going
towards Bush river is in line with the
theory Of incendiarism. Magistrate
Chappell can account for the burning
in no other way, and the circumstances,
including the tracks, make him posi-
tive.
When seen yesterday Magistrate
Chappell said he was convinced that
the burning was the work of some one
who had received justice in his court,
bur that the people might rest assured
that he was in no wise intimidated-
that if everything he had was burned
he would continue to do his duty. And
those who know Magistrate Chappell
know that he will.

COLUMBIA TO GREENVILLE.
Meeting for Prosposed Highway Held
at Laurens.-Unfortunate That
Newberry Was not Represented

Some time AGO a meetlng was held
at LaurenS. and those who were pres
ent decided to organize a Capital-:o-
County highway association between
Columbia and Greenvllle. via New
berry and Laurens, and it was deeid-
ed that Mr.. J. Adger Smythe, Of
Laurens. should call another meeting
of representative from the five coun-
ties through which this highway will
run, TO be held in Laurens.
That meeting was called for Wed
nesday evening, the 25th. There was
no representative from New5erry
present.
The organization was formed with
Mr.. Smythe as president, and he was
given authority to appoint an execu-
tive committee from the several
counties through which the ROAD pass
eS.
That organization will seek the CO.
operation Of the supervisors and off,
eials of the several counties, and also
Of the people along the road, and it
will be question Of only a short
time until this will be one Of the
best highways in the State. 1t runs
along a ridge all the way from Co.
lumbia to Greenville, and there are
no streams of any consequence.
It is a matter of sincere regret
that none Of our citizens felt a sufh-
cient interest in or were unable to
attend, the meeting at Laurens, on
Wednesday, but it is hoped that they
will fall in line and give it their
hearty cooperation.
1t has not been many years since
the Seaboard Air Line really wanted
to come by Newberry and went around
the town. Newberry should see to it
that history does not so soon repeat
itself. In this age of the world it is
hardly to be expected that gifts will
be offered on silver platters, and then
urged after a refusal.

Atlanta Automobile Races November
9-13 1909.

Building a 2-mile race track. where
the ponderous machines can fairly
fv through space, aud where speed
Of $50 miles an hour is made possible,
is not an ordinary undertaking by any
means. Thousands Of men, hundreds OF
teams, and many giant steam shovels,
are required to remove the dirt Tor
the formation of this great track. Seat
ing capacity for thousands OF specta-
tors. and other things for their ae-
commodation, are necessary. Houses
have been built for the storing OF ma
chimes, grand stands have to be erect
ed, and railroad facilities have to be
looked after, in order to handle the
vast crowds going to such places.
All Of these things are being done
bv the Atlanta Automobile Associa-
ton, a company composed OF busl-
ness men and sportsmen. that Is now
building "the fastest automobile race
track in the world.' The work Will
be finished early in October. and the
first race meet will begin on Novem-
ber 9th, continuing for five days.
The Atlanta Automobile Assocla-
ton is composed Of enterprislng men.
who have put 100000 into the enter
prise, for the purpose of giving the
South the biggest automobile racing
plant in the United States. There IS
not a dollars worth Of stock either
owned or controlled by any one IN any
way connected with the automobile
business.
The entry list for November meet
will be one of the largest III the his
tory of automobile racing. The wea-
.'.c~ conditions that usually exist III
the South during November. and even
later in the winter, are particularly
favorable for automobile racing

RURAL CARRIERS ASSOCIATION
President Wicker Active in Work of
tire Observation-Disclosures
Aiken Commends Association.

Mr.. T, E. Wicker, president of
Rural Letter Carriers Association
Of this State, has been very active
and exerting his best efforts to in
crease an interest in the association,
and to enlist the cooperation Of all
the letter carriers in the State. Mr..
Wicker in order to secure, as far as
possible, the attitude Of the govern
ment officials and congressman to-
wards the association, addressed a
communication to Congressman Aiken.
requesting his opinion of the subject.
In reply, Mr. Wicker has received
from Congressman Aiken. the follow
ing letter:
Abbeville. S. c., Aug. p, 1909.
Mr.. Thomas E. Wicekr.
Newberry, S. c.
Dear Sir:-Your letter asking what
I believed to be the attitude Of the
Government toward the rural carriers,
and especially with reference to the
carriers organization, was duly re-
ceived.
T am sure that the Government,
and especially Congress. is disposed
to do the best for the carriers that the
circumstances each year will permit.
I am also sure that the government
does not look with disfavor upon the
carriers organization. It recognizes
the right Of the carrier to present his
cause in the most forceful and intel
lieent manner, and this he can do only
through organization. bringing him in
touch with his fellows.
The carriers, in their organized CO.
pacity, can render valuable aid to
State and Federal authorities in stlm-
ulating road building and in making
other suggestions in aid Of rural de-
velopment. It is not the purpose Of
the organization to undertake to ell
force demands, but to present its re-
quests intelligently and forcefully.
speak as friei.d of the rural car
rier. Ny first speech in congress was
in support of a bill, proposing to pay
rural carriers something like adequate
compensation. It was one of the
first of such bills introduced; and
from time to time since, I have. aided
in the passage Of similar measures
still further improving the carriers
condition. I have felt that the rural
carrier was not fairly treated when
compared with the city carrier, and
I have felt no little pleasure in the
increasing recognition that he has
found in congress. I do not hesitate
to say that the association has given
me valuable data: and except for or
ganization. do not believe that the
data would have been easily obtain
able. All carriers share in the bene
fetal work of the organization: It
seems but fair that all should unite
in making it as effective as possible.
Very truly yours,
Wyatt Aiken.
