AN INSANE NEGRO CAME
" WITH STRANGE STORY
William Denny, a Newberry Laborer,
Told Richard Carroll he Had "a
Message From GOd.o

Saying that he bore "a message
from Cod" William Denny, a negro
barber from Newberry, appeared at
the house of Richard Carroll, well
known negro minister, near midnight
Thursday night. Finding the negro
insane, Carroll called on Magistrate
Roberts for aid, and the negro was
with some difficulty lodged in jail.
Yesterday he was removed to the
State Hospital for the Insane. His
mind was blank yesterday when he
was taken from the Jail. The negro
is 80 years old and was we'll dressed.
Carroll met him in Newberry a short
while ago when he says the negro
was very Intelligent.
Carroll's statement that this is the
third insane negro to visit him with
the announcement that they came
bearing "a message from God" and
on investigation were found to be
bereft: of their senses, is remarkable.
One other came from Spartanburg to
Columbia to make this strange an
nouncement and still another came
from Chaster.-The State, 25th.

If You Want Partner in Mercantile
Business See President Hunt.
He Has an Inquiry.

The chamber of commerce at New
berry has been very active in looking
after the interests Of the city and i'll
bringing people who make inquiries
about the town in contact with 9TH
er people who could probably answer
their inquiries, but a communication
was received a few days ago which
can be placed before the proper per-
son only by giving out in this way
what is desired. Of course the cham
Der of commerce does not know
whether any merchant in Newberry
desires. a partner or not.
The president Of the chamber of
comemrce is now in possession of a
letter from a business man in anoth-
er State who wishes to secure part
ner and to enter the mercantile
business in Newberry.
The following extract is given from
the letter without giving the town or
the name Of the party:
'If there is a firm IN your town do
ing a dry goods or general mercan-
tile business who wishes to secure a
partner, I would be glad if you would
refer my letter to them. I am "a
years old, and want to engage in the
mercantile business. hope that
may settle in your town."
If there is any business man in
Newberry interested in this matter ii
he will call on President I. H. Hunt
Mr.. Hunt will be glad to put him in
communication with the gentleman
referred to-.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
VIII be Open Every Day for ON
H0urShOuld be Sustained
" Better.

The officers Of the Library associa-
ton have been making an effort to
raise sufficient amount of money
from the business men of Newberry
to make up the $1O0 which had here
tofore been appropriated by city
council for the maintenance of the
library, but which the present city
council refused to give this year. The
ladies have not been successful in
thair efforts and they have decided
to open the library every day for one
hour, 10 o'clock. to II o'clock, in the
forenoon so that the people might go
up and see what the library has,
whether they are members or not
and in this way have a better appre-
citation of the good that this library
is doing and the greater good it
might do if properly sustained.
A number of new books have been
added to the library and so far as
possible the association is endeavor-
ing to keep up with the latest and
best literature. It costs only 81 per
per year to become a member, or on
ly Is cents a month if any one de.
sires to join for only one month.
Certainly a city the size of New
berry should have a first class library
and it should be. supported so that
the librarian could be kept in the IL
brary every day in the week, and the
library thus be open every day in the
week.

GOING AFTER
VIOLATERS OF
Ten HOUR LAW
Portland Firm Fined $25 for
Working Women and Girls
Over Time.

Commissioner Hoff is back from
Portland, where last week he was en-
gagged in the prosecution of the state
10-hour law, and will return the
middle of this week to make investi-
cations as to further violations of the
law.
Commissioner Hoff last week had
S. Silyerfield arrested ON the charge
of violating the law, and the defend
ant contended that he was not ac-
countable, but that the corporation
known as the Silverfield Company
was the violator. He was found
guilty, however, and indicated that
he would take an appeal on the
grounds raised at the trial. The
commissioner then decided to get
him coming and going" as the
popular expression of the streets
some times puts 1t, and had him ar
rested as president of the corpora
tion, and also had the corporation
arrested and a fine of $25 imposed
on each The commissioner feels
convinced that should an appeal be
taken the law will be sustained.
