The 0'Neall Picnic.

In; spite of the inclement weather
the closing exercises Of O'Neal]
school were held on the 23rd OF
April The teachers and pupils, had
been looking forward to that eventful
day with pleasant hopes Of large
crowd Of friends and dreams Of en-
tertaining these friends with pro-
gram as well prepared as possible.
The lowering clouds of the morning
promised to interfere with all their
plans. though, and they felt gloomy
indeed until the curtain rose for
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Dudley and
the opening song, and they saw that
some of their friends were present
anyway-just about one thousand.
Greatly encouraged by such a good
ly sight and the inspiring music of
the Morris band, the children sang
and recited their very best until din
ner was announced.
The patrons had prepared a long
table in the beautiful grove near the
school house, but that was sufficient
for not more than half the dinner.
And such an array of good things
to eat! The writer has seen many
well filled picnic tables, but nothing
to equal this. The O'Neall people do
not lie awake nights trying to solve
the problem of the increased cost OF
living. They raise almost all of their
supplies at home, and take pride in
furnishing evidences Of their pros
perity on their picnic tables.
After the bountiful dinner and an
hours social recreation, the school
program was finished. Then Super
intendent J. S. Wheeler and DR.. G. T.
Wyche gave most interesting and in
structive talks on school subjects.
Their talks were listened to very at
tentively and will bear fruit in better
schools in the near future without
doubt.

WILLOWBROOK PARK.
How it Appears to the Stranger
NeWberry a Fine T0Wn.-One
Reason it Has a Nice Park.

In the Christian Home, a weekly
paper, published at Charlotte, n. c.,
the following editorial appears, in
the issue of April 9th:
Newberry Cotton Mill Park at Night
ut is my privilege, tonight, to write
from the brilliant park Of NeWberry
Cotton Mill. NeWberry is fine lit
tie town; but it could hardly be 9TH
erWise, as the home of such men as
have in charge it's cotton mill deVel-
opment The management OF the
Mollohon and the Newberry mills are
among the most progressive OF that
body of fine spirited and active mill
men.
"The park, in which I write, is but
one evidence of the deep interest
and far-reaching plans Of these men
to promote a high standard OF COM
munity growth. 1t has been develop
ed during the fifteen months on the
ground of the Newberry mill and by
the use of mill capital. The park is
beautifully laid out. A well arrang-
ed skating rink, gayly lighted, is
open. Dozens Of the young people
are enjoying it. Just outside the rink
is the rustic stand for the mill band,
entertains the scores Of people who
have already forgotten the work Of
the closing day.
Through the grounds of the park
quietly flows a little brook. Along
the banks of this little stream weep
ing willows are already large enough
to add OF the otherwise attractive
landscape. Over the stream are two
rustic bridges, within the limits of
the park. Swings for the children, a
| pretty little fountain, growing roses
and rustic seats all contribute to the
attractive features of this magnificent
little mill park.
Another important feature that
should not be overlooked is the fact
that this park is being developed, not
off on one side but right among the
homes. The influence of it's beauty
and order is not wasted upon a far
away, inconvenient, and seldomly-
visited ground"
It will be seen that Willowbrook
park is an advertisement for the city
of Newberry. If we could secure a
park on the east side Of the railroad
it would be still a greater ADVERTISE
ment.

Narrow Escape.

At about 1870 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon Mr.. Thos. J. Davenport, pro-
prietor of the feed sale and livery
stable in Friend street made a
very narrow escape from in
slant and horrible death. He
had stepped over to the nearby ware

ed him down and just missed running
over him and mangling his body. He
would very probably have been kill
ed outright had he not possessed
presence of mind to turn and roll un-
der the platform as he was struck.
This is all that saved him as the rail
road track is very near the ware
house platform. Fortunately he was
not much hurt, a bruised nose and
sprained hand being about the ex-
tent of his injuries. He repaired to
DR.. Van Smiths drug store and had
his wounds dressed.
Mr.. Davenport was standing with
his back to the shifting cars and as
there was no engine to them he. did
not know they had been cut loose
and were approaching him until one
of the freight cars knocked him down
as above stated.
