CANNING AND POULTRY CLUB.
Anxious to Organize Club j. Newberry.
Will the People of the County
Cooperate.

Mr.. S. NJ. Duncan, county demonsTa-
ton agent for Newberry county, has
been in correspondence with Miss
Edith l.. Parrot, who has been made
State agent for the girls canning and
poultry club movement in South Caro-
lima, with headquarters at Winthrop
college, with view of having her come
to Newberry and organize this county.
Mr. Duncan has the cooperation of the
county superintendent of education,
and they hope to have the cooperation
of the people of Newberry county in
inaugurating this work in the county.
Miss Parrott is a graduate Of Win
throp college and has done post-grad-
uate work at Teachers college" Co
lunlbia university, in home economies.
The purpose of work is the better pre-
paration of young women for home
making, as we'll as fer school teaching,
and Miss PARROT has the endorsement
of Winthrop college, which is very
much interested in every movement of
this kind President Johnson has is
sued letter to the daughters of Win
throp, asking their cooperation with
Miss Parrott She writes Mr.. Duncan
that sre will be very glad to come over
to Newberry at the next nesting OF
the teachers association, but it will
scarcely be necessary for her to come
unless Mr. Duncan and Mr. Aull can
assure her of the cooperation Of the
people of the county in this work. BY
cooperation is meant that in order to
carry on the work it will be necessary
to have from 5000 to $4OO, and the only
way this money can be secured is by
voluntary contributions. This is a
matter which might very well be taken
up by the chamber of commerce, as it
represents the entire county. 1t is a
very important work, and ii properly
carried On would mean a great deal
for the betterment of the homes of
Newberry county. Several of the coun-
ties of the State have engaged in the
work and Newberry should not fall
behind in any progressive movement.
If any of the citizens of the county art
interested to the extent of giving theii
aid, they might mention it to Mr. Dun
can or Mr. Aull, and Miss Parrot will
come over and explain the work and
organize clubs. 1t is to be carried On
in connection with the schools Of the
county.

ANNALS OF NEWBERRY.
Copy to be Placed in Each School Ii.
brary In the COunfy-B0Oks Now
on Hand.

Upon the recomme ndation Of the
county board of education, and with
the approval of the State, superintend-
ent of education, County Superintend-
ent E. H. Aull has purchased so copies
of the Annals of Newberry, at the
price of $1.00 per copy, these books to
be given one to each rural school IL
brary in Newberry couIty. At pres
ent there are not that many libraries,
but while the books could be purchased
at this nominal price, it Was thought
advisable to purchase them and as
libraries are established to give a copy
to each. The money is drawn from the
dispensary school fund There are
only a few copies of this book extant,
as only limited number was printed
20 years ago, and it will be valuable
addition to have in the school Libraries
in the county. There are SO school
districts a,d one copy was purchased
for each district, leaving one for the
Office of the superintendent. If the
trustees of the schools in which Ii
braries ars already established will
call upon the county superintendent of
education, copy CT this book may be
obtained to be placed in the library of
the school. 1t is valuable reference
book and it is very important that the
children of the county should familiar
ize themselves with the history OF the
county.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
Called bv SIpt. Z. H. Aull to Meet Next
Saturday-TrusteeS and Teachers
Urged to Attend.

The teachers of Newberry county
are requested to meet in the high
school building at Newberry On Satur-
day. November 2, at II o'clock, for the
purpose of organizing the county
teachers association, and to discuss
matters pertaining to the profession.
PROF. S. J. Derrick, of Newberry col
lege, has consented to make talk to
the teachers at this time, and those
who have heard Prof. Derrick know
that his talk will be along practical
lines and of benefit to the teachers in
their work, and we can assure those
who have not heard him that they will
be we'll repaid for the time spent at
the meeting of the association. | de-
sire that every teacher in the county
who can possibly do so will attend this
meeting, so that we may all become
acquainted and in that way be in bet
ter position to do the work which we
have undertaken I feel that it is just
as important that the teachers should
attend the county teachers meetings
and spend cne hour together, discuss
ing modes of teaching and plans Of
government, as it is that they should
teach in the schools, for in this way
they become better equipped for their
work.
Following the plan pursued in the
spring, invitation is also extended to
the trustees to attend the teachers
meeting, and to take part in the dis
cussions, and to make any suggestions
that may occur to them for the bet
terment Of the schools. The trustee's S
position, if he properly appreciates It,
is one of great responsibility. The
great problem before the American
people today is the rural school, and
we can never improve conditions, or
better the school facilities until we
wake up the people and get them to
realize the Importance Of this prob
lem. This invitation to- the teachers
and trustees includes the %ity schools
and high schools and the Nstoez O.

Dear Sir: I am enclosing you clip
ping from the Lake City, Florida, Cit
izen-Reporter, of date Of October %
This clipping will explain itself Will
liam NJ. Hunter was son Of John
Hunter, who moved from Newberry
county to Florida prior to the late War
Between the States. The late deceased
has many relatives and friends resid-
ing in your county, and for this reason
| will thank you to make such note of
this matter, in your paper, as you feel
that it deserves.
The local paper has not given the
death of Mr. Hunter the notice that a
man of his prominence deserved, but
l have excused the matter upon the
ground that the Confederate veterans
of Florida were in, session in our city
at the time of Mr. Hunters death, and
the paper has devoted most of its space
to a report of this convention.
Mr.. Hunter was a Well-to-do farmer
having a splendid plantation of sever
al hundred acres of some of the best
farming lands in this county. He had
filled many positions Of trust, honor
and confidence in his county. He had
been a member of the board of educa-
ton of Columbia county for many
years, and had rendered efficient ser
vice in this office. He was a man OF
fine character, in fact, he was good
man. He always had a kind word and
smile for all. His was hand Of
charity that was always extended to
those in need. No man could be his
enemy, because he was man of Iowa
Bile traits cf character that would over
come enmity. Those who did not agree
with him upon questions of public i'm
portance, nevertheless respected his
views. His life was one of usefulness
in his church, in his home, in his COM
munity, in his county and in his State
| have gone somewhat into details
in order that you might have facts up
on which to- base true sketch of the
life and character of this deceased.
Yours very truly,
R. T. Booze".

INSTALLATION SERVICES.
The Presbyterian Pastor Installed at
Aveleigh Presbyterian Church.
Interesting Exercises.

The Rev. E. D. Kerr was formally
installed pastor of Aveleigh Presbyte-
rian church Sunday morning, October
81, under appointment Of South Caro-
lima Presbytery. The exercises were
interesting and impressive, and were
fully enjoyed by the large congrega-
ton present, many visitors being in
the auditorium The Presbyterian
polity requires that when pastor has
been called he shall be installed ac-
cording to the Book of Church Order,
which calls for a sermon appointed by
Presbytery, a charge to the pastor and
charge to the congregation. The ser
mon in question was delivered by Rev.
w. H. Hamilton, of Ninety Six, who
took as his text Romans Sill. 1t was
a gospel message, pregnant with truth
and encouragement to the believer in
his search after the mind of God in
His relationship to his creatures. 1t
was a timely message and will doubt
less bring forth fruit in the consciences
of his hearers The subject was intro
duced by setting forth Pauls exposi-
tion Of the doctrine of justification by
faith that man is helpless creature
in sin without Jesus Christ But with
faith in Christ he is a saved man and
accounted as righteous only for the
righteousness of Christ imputed and
received by faith. The speaker then
passed into the discussion of the &c
suit of justification. Spoke at this
juncture of peace.
1. Peace for reconciliation.
2. Hope of sharing in the glory OF
God.
3. Rejoicing in God himself.
The summing up was the presenta-
ton of Christ as the medium of all
blessings.
The charge to the congregation was
unique and impressive, and was deliv-
cred by Mr.. Law Blake, ruling elder
of the First Presbyterian church,
Greenwood, S. C. 1t was based on the
10th chapter of John, and the 10th
chapter of Acts, wherein was empl Q s.
lied the Importance Of readiness to
hear the word that God spoke through
His messenger. Space does not permit
amplifcation of the address, and it is
sufficient to say it was practical and
clear, sound in doctrine and earnest
in deliverance. 1t was greatly enjoyed.
The exercises were brought to a fit
ting close by the charge to the pastor,
which was made by Rev. T. C. Croker,
of Smyrna church, in this county. Mr..
Croker showed a fine familiarity with
his subject and comprehensive grasp
withal. Full of energy and fire, deeply
spiritual and forceful, it was mes
sage that sank deep into the hearts
cf the waiting and expectant congre-
cation. The Rev. Mr.. Croker force
fully enjoined in his charge to the
pastor, to work with God and to count
nothing success or failure except as it
would be in the eyes of God.
A striking statement from the speak
er, is given verbatim because of it's
trenchant meaning.
your most brilliant success, if it
be without God, is a mortifying fail
ure; and your most dismal failure, if it
be with God, is a glorious success"
Thus ended a beautiful Christian
service establishing. relationship as
pastor and people, which we hope will
be marked always by mutual conf
dence and helpfulness and rebound to
the honor of the Master.
