sEABROOK'S NARROW ESCAPE.
He Runs Amuck a Tramp in an Old
Cemetery at Midnight-Shot in
Self Defense.

The friends of Mr.. ". B. Seabrook
we are satisfied will read with inter-
est his visit to the Aliscamps cemetery
in France, and the tragic encounter
which he had with a tramp who was
hiding in the cemetery. Brief men
ton Of this Was printed in the Angus
ia Chronicle on last Saturday. A de-
scription Of the encounter by Mr.. Sea-
brook himself appeared in the Chron-
icle of Sunday. This article Of Mr..
Seabrook is copyrighted by himself
but The Herald and News by permis-
sion Of che author is permitted to
print it.
We are satisfied that Mr.. Sea-
brooks many friends in Newberry
will read with interest his racy ac-
count Of his meeting with the tramp
in this old cemetery in the dark hours
of midnight, and will be gratified to
learn that he was not injured. The
Chronicle on Saturday printed the
following brief notice Of the affair:
His friends in Augusta have
learned with interest Of the murder
Gus attack, In France, on Mr.. William
B. Seabrook, whose tour on foot
through that republic, as described
BY him in the Chronicle, has proven
an entertaining feature Of the Sum
day paper.
"Mr. Seabrook was compelled to
repel the ATTACK by firing twice upon
his assailant. The shot proved fatal.
Before his death in. the hospital, the
foot-pad confessed his guilt, saving
Mr. Seabrook from arrest and from
the slightest reproach.
"It appears that Mr. Seabrook at
tempted to view the Avenue des
Aliscamps. "a noted cemetery Of the
middle ages, by moonlight. The Gem
etery is beneath the ramparts OF Ar
les.
"When he was at the desolated
place, the robber set upon him. There
was no one around. Mr.. Seabrook
ran. The man was overtaking him,
knife in hand. However much Mr..
Seabrook deprecated the necessity for
the act, he WAS compelled to fire to
save his own life.
"After the shooting Mr.. Seabrook
went to the police department and
asked an investigation, with the re
suit of finding the wounded man,
who, as stated, died, later, in the hos
pital, after confessing his guilt. Mr..
Seabrook tells the detail Of the incl
dent in his Sunday letter in the
Chronicle tomorrow.

Gatfney. Ledger.
We have had the cans for some
time through the efforts of the Civic
Association. The question that now
puzzles those of this community who
are interested in keeping the city
clean is how to induce the use Of these
receptacles. If every citizen could
be made to feel that the whole thing
rested on him probably we could get
a more general use of these recepta-
cles.

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.

The legislature adJourneo sin0 O-0
on Sunday morning.
A final agreement was reacneo oe-
tween the two factions on the hquor
question by which an election Is TO oe
held during August after the State
has been experiencing prohibition 1or
two weeks This election IS ordered
IN those counties in which whlskey IS
now sold nnder the county dispensary
nlan. If a majority votes to retain
that system then the county olSpen-
sao:v will be reopened and the sale
will 90 on as L. has been. l. 'he ma
iority of the votes in any county IS
AGAINST the sale of whiskey then the
county dispensary will remain closed
This IS about the best solution that
tho legislature could have made OF
this question, and We are satisfied that
It will add a number Of counties to The
prohibition column.
There were not many otner 1nlnse
Of Statewide Importance done by this
legislature, a great deal Of the time
having been taken in balloting Tor
associate justice and discussing the
whiskey question.
The tax levy for State purposes was
raised from five to five and a quarter
mills.
The appropriation bill, it is stated,
carries $4,000 less than the appo-'
priation bill for 1908. AS a matter OF
fact, however, the appropriation for
this year is larger by more than $l2,-
900 than the appropriation for l9Oo.
In 1908 there had to be provision
made for the general election for that
YEAR. That item is not included IN
the appropriation for this year. The
bill carries increased amounts to Win
throp college and the South Carolina
University and an item of $4,000 was
included to be used in the aid of COM
mon schools in the poorer communl-
ties.
The $4,000 that was asked for the
maintenance Of the soldiers home n
Columbia was finally given for that
purpose. The home will be open for
the reception Of Confederate soldiers
who desire to take advantage of it
very soon. Under the act creating
this home only two soldiers can be
received from any county.
In regard to local matters we un-
derstand that the salaries Of all mag
istrates in the county have been In
creased and that the salaries OF the
county commissioners have also been
raised.
The salary of the county superln-
tendent of education has been raised
S1OO, and it is provided that his sal
ary shall be paid out of the school
fund instead Of the ordinary county
fund as heretofore.
Including the levy for the court
house debt the total for county pur-
poses, as We understand it, is five and
a half mills an increase over last year
of two mills.
In the next issue of The Herald and
News we hope to print more OF the
local measures which affeev Newberry
county, and We will also print the
bill providing for the election on the
whiskey question.

A MODEL COMMUNITY.

It was our pleasure to attend the
banquet at the convention Of the
eighth district knights Of Pythias
held with the H. P. Hammett lodge al
Piedmont the 18th Of February.
Piedmont is unique community il
that it has a population Of something
like 5000 and is not incorporated
The manufacturing company OF
which Mr.. ". E. Beattie is presiden!
owns about 1900 acres of land upoI
which the two mills are located and
all Of the residences and other enter
prizes are built by the mill company,
The land is located on either side OF
the Saluda river, one mill being in
Anderson county and one in Green
vile. This is one of the mill COM
munities in South Carolina in which
there is the best of good feeling exist
ing between the officials and the
operatives, and the president and Of
fcials are i'm close touch and SYM
pathy with the operatives and every
body seems happy and contented.
The company does not run COM
pany store but rents the buildings to
individuals who desire to do business
there.
The local lodge is composed of 90
members most of whom are employ
ees Of the company, and while the
president, Mr.. Beattie, has his home
in Greenville, lie attended the banquet
given after the convention and
though he is not a Knight he deliver
ed a most excellent address of vel
come showing his familiarity with the
legend upon which the Order is
founded.
In this connection we would like
to say that in addition to what we
have alrdeay stated the mill company
has erected ait its own expense very
handsome building for the use Of the
operatives as a reading room, gym
nasium, and library, which is open to
all the employees Of the company. This
building is in charge of Mr.. A. NJ,
Doggett, who keeps the building open
from ten O'Clock in the morning un-
til nine thirty in the evening. Ac-
cording ITO record which he has kept
an average Of about 200 Of the boys
and men connected with the mill visit
the rooms daily during these hours.
In addition to this building the
mill company has also recently erect
ed a Y. W. C. A. building which is in
charge of the secretary, Miss A. L.
Sherfersee, and also an assistant sec
retary, Miss Alma Keynon, who has
charge of the domestic science depart
ment. In this department any OF the
ladies connected with the mill who de-
sire are given instruction in sewing
and cooking, and the equipments
would compare favorably with any
such departments in any Of our col
leges. Miss Keynon is an expert in
this line and in addition to furnish
ing recipes she has the active work
dome under her specific instructions
and explains as to how it should be
done. The young girls of the high
grades in the school are required to
take one or two hours a week in this
department.
This work on the part Of the mill
seems to be appreciated by the opera
tives. President Beattie also gives an
annual banquet to the heads Of the
departments in his mill in which they
discuss questions pertaining to the
work which they have to do. Th1
company also furnishes the lodge
rooms for the various secret orders
free of rent and has a large hall
which is used for entertainments, and

THE heads of these families, to

weekly meetings during the early. part
of 1888 and at these meetings they

The college was success. Its

until 1894. He was then chosen act
