Editor Aull's reply to my request
Tor an explanation of paragraph pub
lished in his paper of the 18th is print
ed in full in this ISSUE The reply is
not satisfactory; and I might go far
ther and say it is lacking in frankness.
Mr.. Aull ignores the point of my OBJ
lection to the paragraph quoted, and
goes off on things that have absolute
" nothing to do with the case. Of
course l understand that The Herald
and News is not the Chautauqua asso-
ciation: if it had been then l should
nave s.a.:ed the explanation from the
association. The slur was not prepar-
ed nor written nor published by the
association, but by Mr.. Aull himself
in his own paper. l think the presl-
dent of the association did exactly
rie.t in assuring me that the assocla-
tio1 did not authorize the slur as soon
ss he found out that 1 so regarded it
It's yelled insinuation that some print
ing establishment in Newberry might
attempt to get advertising from the
business houses of Newberry under
the false pretense that it was author
lied" by the association to do so. What
establishment? Not Mr.. Aull's of
course; for ne would not warn the
public against himself. If there was
no other printing establishment in
mind, it seems to me-and have no
doubt it will strike the public the same
way-the simple statement that Mr..
Hunter was authorized to make con-
tracts for the booklet that the associa-
ton is to print, that there will be no
other official program, and no other

fectly satisfied with their selection Of
Mr.. Hunter to canvass for advertising
for the official boklet. I will go fur
ther than that, and assure the asso-
citation that / will gladly publish any
thing-within reasonable bounds Of
course-that they may think will help
to make the occasion a success-pro-
vided it is furnished me Simultaneous
ly with its publication in other papers

l am not concerned about advertis-
ing; nor booklets, official or otherwise;
nor about any money proposition that

for the good name of this newspaper.

Answered in its Own Paper.

The ,Laurens Advertiser in its last
issue slinggs ink as follows:
Judging from the baseball write-ups
in the Newberry Herald and News it
seems that the poor visiting teams
never make creditable play, while
there is always halo of glory around
a majority Of the Newberryites. Why
not given both sides?"
The reason is that there is only one
side to give when Newberry is run up
against. This is again demonstrated
by the Advertisers Clinton corresponds
ent in the same issue Of the paper.
"The biggest crowd of the season
gathered at the P. C. diamond Mon
day afternoon to see what turned out
to be the poorest specimen of the great
American game seen in Clinton in many
a day-except possibly among the
small boys. The score fails to tell the
tale-13 to in favor Of Newberry.
But every team has it's off-day, and the
P. C. boys can play good ball as they
have demonstrated at the other games.
This is the second game they have lost
out of six this season. They were
confident Of winning over Newberry
as several fans had assured them they
had better team. Their friends are
sure they will reinstate themselves" :"
Yes, indeed, "the poorest specimen"
because Clinton was defeated by a
score of 13 to in favor of Newberry.
Thirteen was an unlucky number for
Clinton. Of course "they were ccnfi-
dent of winning over New5erry, as
sereral fans had assured them they
had a tatter team" Thirteen to five
looks I..o it, doesn't it? 1t was GER
tainly the P. C.'s "off day." Don't be
so confident next time. The "halo of
glory" still shines from the Newber-
rians.

that it was getting out some sort of
publication for the Chautauqua. l
heard the report then, and knew Of
course that it was calculated to poison
the minds of people whose good opin-
ion l value; but l concluded to let it
pass, because I did not Wishato enter
a newspaper controversy that might
interfere with the success of Chautau-
qua week; which was close at hand,
and to which 1 had given, and was CIV
ing, free and earnest support. But if
this sort of insinuation is to be a regu-
lar feature of Chautauqua occasions it
may be as we'll to settle it now. So
here goes for that:
When it was decided last year to
have Chautauqua week in Newberry |
decided to issue a special industrial
edition of the Observers The Her
aid and News is preparing to do now,
though on a much larger scale no
doubt. This edition was to be gotten
out entirely with our own regular
force, with the addition of young
lady for a few weeks to help solicit
advertising and to handle the write
UPS. In pursuance of this purpose, I
published the following statement in
the Observer of May End:

NEWBERRY DEFEATS CLINTON.
Lutheran Boys Scalped the Presbyte.
rianS TO a Lively Tune On Mon
day Afternoon.

Newberry defeated the Presbyterian
college on Monday afternoon IA to 5,
by hitting the ball hard in the last four
innings of play. Edison, Newberry's
old reliable, pitched a splendid game,
holding the hard-hitting Presbyterians
to five scattered hits, while the scarlet
and gray batsmen secured no less than
II safeties off of the two pitchers who
faced them With the exception of one
inning, Edison was never in danger
of being scored on, and was steady
throughout the game. Newberry's
work in the field was perfect, with the
exception of one inning caused by a
slight rain, which made the ball very
hard to handle.
Through the fifth inning the contest
was a pitchers battle between Edison
and Anderson, and each side failed to
get man beyond second. The, scor-
ing started in the sixth when Boozer
singled through short and Smeltzer
and Floyd each beat out infeld hits,
filing the bases with no one down.
Wise was equal to the emergency by
lining one out to left which Simpson
dropped after a hard try, and this,
coupled with wild heave by Hill,
gave Newberry four runs.
Umpire Bailey called time after the
first half of the sventh on account of
rain. After an interval of about Is
minutes play was resumed. The Pres
byterians scored five runs in their half
of the seventh on errors and two
scatch hits, caused by wet grounds.
Smeltzer, first man up in the eighth
singled through short. Floyd sacrificed
him to second and a moment later
"Clean-Up" Wise landed on one of An
derson's benders for four-sacker to
deep centre, practically breaking up
the game. Hill now replaced Ander-
son, and the first ball he delivered was
met by Keitt for a triple. Keitt scor-
ed on neatly placed single over Sec
ond by Perritt.
In the ninth Newberry clinched the
game and turned an otherwise intense
ly interesting contest into a farce by
circling the bases seven times on hard
hitting and few errors.
Eidson's pitching and the batting Of
Wise, Keitt and Smeltzer featured the
game, and pick-ups by Boozer and
Keitt were of the sensational variety.
Shealy caught pretty game.
The Newberry boys play Wofforj IN
Spartanburg on April IS and 10. On
next Monday, April %, Newberry and
the Presbyterian college will play at
college park A good game may be
expected, as the Clintonites have lost
but two games this season, and they
have defeated some, of the strongest
teams in the State. Let old folks,
young folks and everybody come and
help old Newberry college to win the
championship. Clemson will play here
on April 26 and q.

One of State Detectives Handling
Bamberg Situation.

Columbia, April 17.-Charged with
assault with intent to kill, highway
robbery and riot, six white men of
Bamberg, were arrested there this af-
ternoon and locked in the county jail,
according to the report of Mayor
Smoak, of Bamberg, to Governor
Blease. A sixth man, W. L. McPhail,
and the alleged leader of the crowd,
has not yet been arrested, and was re-
ported from Bamberg to have gone to
Augusta, but ii is thought that he will
return to Bamberg some time during
the night, and if he does he will be
Immediately locked up.
TIE Bamberg military company is
held subject to the orders Of Sheriff
Hunter, of that county, and is ready
for any emergency and will be ready
for duty at a moments notice. The
men will be given a hearing before
Mayor Smoak at Bamberg tomorrow
morning.
Charge Against Accused.
The men mentioned are charged
with having intimidated and run out
of the town of Bamberg two men, Gar
ner and Carter, who were sent there to
work up evidence against illicit whis-
key dealers by Governor Blease, on
the request of two attorneys of Bam-
berg, who stated that they would have

alton to the Chautauqua in any other

lation to the Chautauqua in any other
respect
In further pursuance of the purpose,
I sent two persons out to see the bust
ness men of Newberry and solicit ad-
vertising for the industrial edition, and
provided them with blank contracts to
be signed by advertisers as follows:
advertising Contract.
"Newberry, S. C.,..........191l.
"This is to certify that. t...............
agrees to take space to an amount OF
s... in the Industrial Supple
ment of the Newberry Observer, to be
issued within period of three months.
from date, and to pay the amount spe-
CITED in this contract Immediately up
ON publication Of minimum of 5000
copies of said Industrial Edition. Pay
ment to be made to the Observer Print
ing Company.
.......... .''.'''''
The advertising solicitors met with
q. liberal response-as have no doubt
The Herald and News will this year.
But. in spite of the notice and the con-
tract-both as plain as l could posi-
bly, make them; in spite OF the tact
that the advertising was not to be paid
for until the special edition was pub
lished-when if there had been any
deception or misrepresentation it
would be detected at once and would
vitiate the contract, in addition to in
turing the Observers reputation-in
spite of this, it was whispered about
that the Observer was getting adver-
Using by claiming to represent some
publication of the Chautauqua associa-
ton. Hearing this, I Immediately set
about to trace the report. The only
person that could hear of who, it was
alleged, had given an advertisement
under that suppositon was Mr.. Son
nenberg. went to him at once, and
told him what l had heard, adding that
if he had given his advertising under
that understanding l wanted to cancel
his contract and release him. His re-
ply was that he wished his contract to
stand; and it did stand. and he paid fo9
it very cheerfully when the industrial
edition appeared. 1t is possible Mr..
sonnenberg thought when he gave the
advertising to Mr.. Gray that he was
giving it to the Chautauqua associa-
toni never asked him about that,
for was perfectly certain that Mr..
Gray did not purposely mis1ead him.
it would have been an extremely fool
III thing to do; and, whateTesr csc
nay be said Of Mr. Gray, he is no fool.
At all events, Mr. Gray is not with the
Observer now, and has not been for
something like six months; and when
Mr.. Aull wrote and published the Of
fensive paragraph he knew it.

Industrial Issue.

about the mi5 lie of June the OBJ
server will issue an industrial, de-
scriptive and historical illustrated sup
pIenent in magazine form devoted to
Newberry, past, present and future
The edition will consist Of a guaranteed
minimum circulation Of 5000 copies,
printed on extra good quality Of paper,
with magazine cover. The advertising
contracts for major portion Of the
space devoted to advertising have al
ready been secured, and with one or
two exceptions the business men Of
Newberry have recognized in the pro-
posed publication as presented to. them
a rare opportunity to reach the people
of this section, and have responded
literally and generously; in fact, to an
extent which guarantees the success
of the proposition.
"The Observer has contemplated
such an issue for some time, and al

made coincident with Chautauqua

the crowds that will no doubt he here

Mr.. Aull says: The Observer has
as much right to bid for the publica-

be gotten out by the association =" as
has The Herald and News" That has
nothing whatever to do with the case.

further, and say mo one else has been

evitable inference of the language
being that there might be some one
else in town who might try to solicit
advertising under the guise of author
ity from the Chautauqua association,
and warning the business men against
such person. If there is any other

can not see it; and Mr.. Aull says, "The
