CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Annual Meeting Thursday Evening
Officers to Be ElectesdA-EVery
Business Man Should Join.

The chamber of commerce Will
hold its annual meeting on Thurs
day evening Of this week. At this
meeting the officers for the ensuing
year will be elected. It is very I'M
portant that every member be
present.
The work of the chamber during
the past year has resulted in much
good for the community but the lack
of members and, therefore, the
Lack Of money, has prevented the
accomplishment Of many things that
might have been done if the member
ship had been larger and the treas
ury more fourishing.
A little folder stating facts about
Newberry has just been issued and
will be distributed.
Il is unfortunate that more Of our
business men do not identify them
selves with this organization. Or
ganized and united effort could &C.
complish a good deal more for the
enlargement Of the community.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Barn and Stables Burned.-Good
Work of Department Saves
Adjoining Residences.

At four o'clock Monday morning
fire was discovered on the permises
of Mr.. J. II. Summer, corner East
Main and Sumner streets by Mr.. D.
A. Livingston who happened to get
up for a drink Of water. He gave
the alarm and aroused the sleepers.
When Mr.. Livingston discovered the
fire the top Of the barn was begin
ming to fall in, but he risked going
into the burning building to save
the stock. With some difficulty he
rescued two COWS and a horse which
were in the barn hedged i'm by flames
and he also got two buggies and a
carriage from the buggy house,all of
which would undoubtedly have been
lost but for his timely discovery and
quick work.
The barn and buggy house were
burned, together with five or SIX
hundred bundles Of fodder, some
meal and hulls, at a loss of about
$500.
The fire company responded
promptly and did splendid work, ar
irving at the scene in twelve mill
utes from the time the alarm was
sounded about three-fourths Of a
mile from the public square.
The handsome residence, cut of
which appeared in The Herald and
News recently, was only about forty
yards from the burning buildings.
but it was not injured, the wind for
tunately blowing from it.. The
wind, although not high, was blow
ing across to Mr.. Livingston's, when
it changed and blew towards the
residence of Mr.. T. J. Hayes, both
of which buildings were in danger
sparks falling on the roogs Of these
nearby houses, but the water thrown
by the fremen prevented further
condagration, helped by the absence
Of fierce winds.
Mr.. Summer says he is confident
a rat and match in the fodder
caused the fire. He cannot other.
wise account for it. It is a suppo-
sition on his part and is doubtless
correct, as he has no enemies bui
rather has the good opinion and
friendship Of all classes. There was
no insurance on the buildings OF
contents.

SUNDAY CRAP GAME.
One Negro Seriously Wounded
Fourteen Convicted of Gambling.
Pay Their Fines. -.

About four O'Clock on Sunday af-
ternoon, Sheriff Buford got phone
message from Mr.. Oxner, living on
Mrs. MoCrary's place, that Johnnie
Jones was shot by Ben Kelly and
thought to be mortally wounded.
Both colored. The shooting occur
red on the premises Of Mr.. John T..
Norris, about five miles east of the
city.
The sheriff got there in about 30
minutes after notification and imme-
diately secured a list of all the ne
groes present who had been gambling
when the row occurred; had war
rants issued forthwith for their ar
rest and turned the prisoners over to
Magistrate Chappell who had the
gang before him Monday morning
on charge of gambling. They plead
ed guilty and Mr.. Chappell SEN
fenced them to pay fine Of $3.50
each or serve 80 days on the chain
gang.
All paid their fines, aggregating
$2l5.6O, almost enough to build a
mile of good road. There were four
teen in the bunch.
DR.. W. A. Dunn attended the
wounded man. He says the negro
is not fatally shot. He is seriously
injured, but is recovering. Kelly,
who did the shooting, is in jail.
Sheriff Buford made quick work
of jailing him. Kelly and Jones
were also gambling but as one is
shot and the other is in jail on
charge Of shooting, their trial is yet
to come off on charge Of gambling.

Of the Baptist church.
Mrs. Mower was a daughter OF the
late Maj. and Mrs. Lambert j.
Jones, and was married to Mr.. Now
er in 1876.
She had been in bad health for
several years and had been a num-
Der of times to hospitals and santa
riums under the treatment Of the
most skilled physicians but none had
been able to give but temporary re-
lief. Everything that loving hands,
tender nursing and skilled physl-
clans could do had been done.
She was a devoted and devout
member of the A. R. P. Church and
a truly Christian woman and the
spirit was ready and willing to be
released.
Besides the devoted husband and
children, she leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Mary H. White, of Abbeville, and
Mrs. T. c.. Pool, Of Newberry, and
sooe brother, Mr.. Lambert W. Jones,
of Newberry; all Of whom, with her
nephew, Mr.. VIM. H. White, Of Alb
beville, and her niece, Miss Grace
McH. Jones, of Asheville, were
present at her death and burial.
Only four of the groomsmen at
her marriage are now living. DR..
Strother Pope, Of Columbia, one Of
them, was also present at the burial.
There was great profusion of
flowers and the grave was literally
hidden by them, showing more than
anything else the high esteem in
which she was held.
She died a calm and peaceful
death. Her only concern was about
others and when the end came she
was content to go.

with the same old yankee prejudic-

He returned to Washington, and,
true to his convictions reported to
Commissioner Neil that evetything

given to understand that the bureau

Lawyer Flynn, editor OF the Spring
field Reporter, who says in his pa
per:
I'VE do know that Meth.
er DR. Mead nor Mr.. Fleetwood nor
any other candidate will file with the
secretary OF state any sworn state
ment of campaign expenses, for the
reason that the present secretary OF
state is an excellent lawyer with a
proper conception of what can be
and Of what cannot lawfully be filed
in his office, and should such a paper
sworn to as above suggested be Of
fered for filing. Mr.. Bailey would
doubtless direct the attention Of
those Immediately interested to Sec,
5917, which reads In part as follows.
"A person who administers to an
other an oath or affirmation or an
obligation In the nature OF an oath,
which is not required or authorized
by law. or a person who voluntarily
suffers such oath or obligation to be
administered to him, or voluntarily
takes the same. shall be fined not
more than two hundred nor less than
fifty dollars"
In other words whoever would un-
dertake to administer OF to take such
an oath would violate the law.
Why does the neighbor publish
only part OF the section referred
to? Why does he not continue with
the next sentence which expressl,
states that This section shall moi
prohibit an oath or affidavit for IN,

punch with his poor face. Fiu
smashed Jeffs nose, split his cheeks,
dropped curtain of raw meat over
each eye and had JEFF bleeding like
bull. Time after time Fitz set him
self and stepped In to finish the fight,
and II seemed that Jeff's jaw was
made of iron, for he took the best the
old man could give him and kept on
coming.
Fitz pounded the champion until
both his hands were smashed like
egg shells and though Fitz crippled
himself by the force of his own pun
ches, JEFF took those smashes on the
head and never so much as went to
his knees. Those who were fortu-
nate enough to see that great fight
are agreed that for an old man. Fitz
set a terrific clip and hit hard enough
to stop any heavyweight in the world,
barring Jim Jeffries. The first solid
punch which Jeff slipped through to
the body dropped the old man like a
log and ended the fight. So much for
one of the old men.
Sharkey wasn't quite ready for os
lerization when Jeff got him, but he
was older than Methuseleh when JEFF
was thorugh with him. He was 2;
years OF age when he met Jeff the
first time and 26 when he fought JEFF
for the championship at Coney Is
land. There is no need 20 recount
the history OF that second fight 1
was Jeff's first battle In defense o
his title. Everybody knows wha
that fight did to Sharkey, and had /
gone FIVE rounds more, Jef woult
surely have won by knockout 70
