President T. E. Wicker Issues Address
and Urges Organization-NeW-
berry Meeting a Success.

President T. E. Wicker, Of the rural
letter carriers association Of the
State, has issued the following cir
cular letter to the rural carriers of
s. II Carolina:
Newberry, S. c., July Is, 1910.
To the Rural Carriers of South Caro-
lima:
The verdict Of those who attended
the Newberry convention was that it
was a complete success. We had
three or four times the largest at
tendance of any previous convention;
we had with US one Of the highest and
most distinguished officials OF the
postoffce department.; We had with
US the carriers friend, the editor OF
the R. F. D. News; we had with US
special correspondents of the three
leading daily papers in the State, viz:
the. News and Courier, the Columbia
Record and the State, also correspond
ents of the local papers. This conven-
ton has made a favorable impression
upon the public mind. Business men
are waking up to the fact that the
rural carrier is one of the most i'm
portant factors in our social and COM
mercial life. They realize that he is
good advertiser, he is a good mixer
among men, he is at home where ever
he goes, he is a traveller and talker
he has a speaking acquaintance with
every man, woman and child under
the sun. The real, live towns in South
Carolina have recently noted this fact
and at our next annual convention
there will be some fatteri1g invita-
tions from some of the best towns in
the State.
During the past year our member
ship has doubled. The boys are begin
ming to sit up and take notice. We
must organize! We must treat, this
matter seriously, because it is getting
to be serious proposition. We want
100 new members on or before Labor
day, September 5. We want volun-
teers; men with hearts in their bos-
oms and sense enough in their heads
to read the future If you are not a
member of the association send $1.25
to Secretary Paul K. Crosby, Ruffn
| S. c., and become member at once
All county associations are request
ed to meet on Labor day.
Yours for work,
Thos. e. Wicker,
,, President.

To an Electric Light.

Twinkle, twinkle, light arc,
With your very sickly spark,
Up above my head you swing
You're very ugly thing.
When the shades Of night are come
And I'm working hard at home,
Then it is your System" FORKS,
With it's splutters, jumps AID jerks.
I don't care what people say,
You've a bilious greenish ray.
And wherever they worship you
Everything is black and blue.
Very likely you surpass
Candles, oil and even gas;
Still, allow me- to remark,
+ don't like you, little arc!

KILLED on CLINTON STREETS.
Cal Furr Shot to Death by ". T,
GregOry-Result of Long Stand
ing Trouble.

Clinton, July 23.-One of the most
sensational killings that has ever oc-
Cured in Clinton happened today,
when W. T. Gregory, resident Of the
Lydia Cotton Mills village, shot and
instantly killed Cal Furr, who for the
past few months has been living at
the Clinton Mill village. The shoot
ing, it is said, is the final result Of
trouble that has been brewing for
some time between these two parties.
Gregory claims that Furr had ruined
his home. Up to about four months
ago Furr was living about Lydia,
when, it is said, he was forced to leave
on account of this trouble.
Fires Without Warning.
At about $50 o'clock this afternoon
Gregory was standing just in front OF
the store of T. C. Sumerell & Brothers,
when Cal Furr, leaving the Bee Hive
Racket Store, which is just across the
street, and not seeing Gregory, came
directly towards him. Upon perceiv-
ing Furr, it is said that Gregory, with
out passing any words whatever, at
once drew his gun and began firing
the second. shot striking Furr in the
hip, causing him to fall. Furr drew
his pistol as quickly as possible and
fired three shots, all of which missed
except one, which passed through
Gregory's right hand, between the
third and fourth fingers.
Continues Firing at Fallen Victim.
After Furr fell Gregory advanced
and grappled with him, still shooting,
and most of the balls taking effect in
Furr's body. After II shots were fir
ed in all, eight by Gregory and three
by Furr, Furr died instantly.
After the killing Gregory at ofsS
surrendered to Chief of Police Reed
and was lodged in the city station.
About 3 o'clock he was taken to Laur-
ems in order to avoid any possible
trouble.

The Importance of the Hahne & Co. Store as a gatherer
of merchandise ought, at this time, to be manifested that the
people of Newark and vicinity may fully appreciate the mag
nitude of our task. AS many as twelve carloads of goods a
day are taken into our big receiving-rooms, Immediately I'M
packed, priced and displayed for selling, or stored away for
future use. Almost every weekday of the year our own
drays haul in the neighbrohood of t~hirty-six loads a day from
the freight depots, averaging about five loads to a car. Every
day the express companies deliver to us no less than five great
truck loads, besides the big automobile truck that comes laden
from New York every morning.
