The Herald and News is going to
start, on Monday, November 10, a
voting contest among the boys and
girls of this county, who are under
eighteen years Of age.
Elections have been exceedingly
quiet during this year and it Is our
purpose to start one which will, IN
interest and excitement, exceed any
thing that has ever been conducted IN
Newberry county. The people refuse
to vote bonds for good roads by
large majority, but with a very light
vote. The people Of the city voted
bonds for the extension OF the water
and sewerage by scarcely a sufficient
vote to count a majority.
We expect to have runners in this
voting contest, who will count their
votes up into the thousands. Entries
may be made at any time and you
may nominate yourselves or be nom
mated by some friend. The nomlna-
tion must be fled with the manager
Of this election, at The Herald and
News Office.
The prize is not an Office, but some
thing that will be worth probably
more than political Office. Besides
that, while there is but one election
there is a chance for five Of the run
ners to win and none Of them can
lose.

men nave been drawing ScnOlarSQlpS
from Oxford for the past 500 years.
Each student at the University is
provided with $500 a year, and is
free to spend his vacation anywhere
on the continent. Perhaps the most
important thing as shown by DIR. Par
ken was the finding the right man
and bringing him here, and impress
ing upon him the great opportunity
that lay before him.
And just here DR.. Parker spoke
directly to the young ladies in tell
ing them that movement was start
ed by which they could also secure a
scholarship, and he said this move
ment was started by Southern wo-
man, he thought from Alabama, and
arrangements were being made by
which young ladies could enjoy the
same privileges that were laid before
the young men.
In the awarding Of these scholar
ships, DR.. Parker said that Mr..
Rhodes entertained definite idea as
to what kinds of young men should
receive them, and he wished them to
be given into the keeping Of young
men, strong in mind and limb, one
fond of athletic sports, a leader
among his fellow men. The reason for
this was that Mr.. Rhodes was ac-
customed to the games in the English
schools, and in those games every
boy is compelled to take part. These
sports teach more than the mere rud-
iments Of the game, insomuch as ne
learns to play fair, giving the ad-
vantage to his opponent and. taking
defeat with as much grace as he
would success. There is not one man
at Oxford who would not rather lose
a. game than win it unfairly. And
this is the substance Of Mr.. Rhodes ,
life, a sense Of justice, a sense OF
fairness, and a sense of high living,
which gives to the opponent the ad-
evantage.
DR.. Parker went on to say that
England does not offer these advan-
tages to. young Americans because
she wishes them to lose their loYe Tor
their country, but because IN order
to be of superior worth in their own
world they must CLEAN the best things
that the world has to give and bring
these things back to that country Tor
practical use. And above all, DE-
Parken spoke of the erroneous Idea
that some, in fact most people, have
in placing the standard of money
above that Of culture and true worth.
He said it was all right to have the
money with which to promote other
more substantial good.
AT the conclusion Of his address
President Harms thanked DR.. Par
ken for his inspiring talk, and e1-
pressed the wish that he might at
some time see one Of the NeWberry
College students at Oxford.

Yours very respectfully,
B. F: Day,
Adiutant Confederate Infrmary.

The investigation which I desired
at the Home was denied me by the
chairman Of the board, he asserting
most positively that the old soldiers
would be allowed no voice in the mat
ter, and it was on their account l
wanted the investigation made, and
it should be done. On! the shame
of it, that those old men who ere
long shall S'cross the river and rest
under the shade Of the trees'' should
be treated in the manner they are
by the man who is paid by the State
to care for them-and I tell you paid
we'll. Some Of these old soldiers,
Who by age, i'll health and poverty
are too depressed to resent the insults
heaped upon them. I thought and
hoped that a statement published IN
the Spartanburg paper some time
ago would have called forth a thor
ough isvestigation by the board, but
they failed to notice, it. Every word
that man wrote was true. That old
soldier was told that he could not
eat another. mouthful in that house
and was put out of the ''Home, -
his ":Home''- without a penny 10
pay his passage to spartanburg-+
which money was given him by a
gentleman in Columbia.
This is one instance and could
cite many more. Of course the rules
Of the ''Home" must be obeyed, but
they ought to be enforced with WIS
dom and kindness.
While at the Home I simply did
my duty, and by so doing gained the
esteem of almost every old soldier
in it and the extreme i'll will Of their
mischosen commandant.
The present appropriation is a
plenty to sustain the Home, and al
though some days our fare was pref
ty rough, all the old soldiers were
satisfied, provided the 'home was
saving by it.
Hoping that our old soldiers will
survive all harsh treatment until our
lawmakers meet again and that our
good men of South Carolina-for
know there are many brave and
honest ones yet in the old State
and that the Daughters Of the Coz
federacy-those noble women who
left nothing undone to get the Home
established-may be able to build 1t
up by putting an able man at its
head-a man who was a soldier ID
our late war; not butcher.
Very respectfully,
B. F. Day.

The testimony on Wednesday IN
The trial of Nine. Steinheil, was dis
tinetly favorable to the defense. The
appearance of Marietta Wolf, the
cook in the Steinheil household, and
her son, Alexandra, threw no new
light on the subject, but by further
mass Of contradictions strengthened
the accused's favor.
The South Carolina Daughters OF

Georgetown sheriff has searched tor
him in vain. Avant gave himself

is not work enough at our Home to
justify the employment Of an Adju-
tant,- ,-(this you must have observed
yourself)."
If an opportunity is given me by
your honorable Board I shall prove
by the testimony Of the inmates Of
our Home, your and my companions
in arms, that you and the Board
have been grossly misled in the IL
formation upon which you have
based your conclusions, and that the
inmates are arbitrarily deprived Of
the services which I understood I

As an officer under your appoint

to formally inform your honorable
Board that the present management
Of the Home is such as to call for a
thorough investigation as to its meth
DDS at the hands Of the Board, and I

It is di1hcult to make people believe that cof
Tee is an absolute poison to at least one person
out Of every three. but people are slowly finding

bly, before they discover the fact. A New York
hotel man says:
Zach time after drinking coffee 1 became
restless, nervous and excited, SO that l was un-
able to sit five minutes in place. was also
inclined to vomit and suffered from loss Of sleep,
which got worse and worse.

hurt me. but she insisted SO hard that finally

NO TRACE OF YOUNG FORREST

TIvEs IN VIRGINIA.
Conductor Tells Of Passenger He
Thinks May Be Man Suspected
Of Parents Murder,

LEONARDTOWN, Md, May 2l.-In
view Of recent developments in the For
rest murder case the authorities Of st.
Mary county have come to the concIu-
sion that Joseph Forrest. suspected Of the
murder OF his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Plowden Forrest OF Oakville. has es
capped from st. Mary county and Is now
in some part of Virginia.
Detective John H. Mayer of Baltimore
left Mechanicsville yesterday for Balti-
more, carrying with him the ak with
which the double murder was committed.
The relatives OF Jee Forests mother re-
side in Stevensville and warrenton. va,
and 1t is known that the missing boy
often expressed desire to visit these
relatives.
The most important clew furnished the
ofhcers and Detective Mayer was that
given by Capt. William Early. conductor
on the Mechanicsville train. Capt Earlys
statement confirms the accepted belief
that young Forrest has made his way to
Virginia
young man boarded Early's train
about ten days ago at Mechanicsvilie,
and, after paying his fare. asked Con-
ductor Early how he could get to Balti-
more. The description of the man given
by Conductor Early corresponds with that
OF young Forrest.
The story that man supposed to be
Forrest was. seen near one of the Light
street wharves strengthens the supposi-
ton that he at that time was making his
way to one Of the steamers.
Sheriff Dent returned to his home
Wednesday after searching the woods
with Detective Mayer. Yesterday morn
ing he visited Budds creek, and later went
to the home OF Shepard Barber. at New
market. but no clue to Forests where
abOuts was discovered.
Az yet no reward has been offered by
the county commissioners OF St Mary
county for the capture of Forrest. Neither
have any circulars been printed and sent
out by the officials to other cities.
