"NObOdy at Home and the Reporter
Knocked "Out of Commission" in
One of His Lines.

1t is like bringing order out Of
chaos to get out this issue of The Her.
aid and News Coming from the pleas
ures of the great fleet and fair week in
Charleston, the reporter finds the Of
flee topsy-turvy from the change going
on in the new arrangement Of the me-
chanical department. The tearing
down of the partitions ON the first floor
of the building in cloud of dust that
covers everything and everybody, the
piles and heaps OF disarranged stuff to
be jumped over or walked around, all
in the way and causing confusion, is
the picture presented at the jump. The
mailing list has been misplaced, and it
must be found, or the confusion will be
worse confounded." There is lot to
be done in mo time" The reporter
wanted to say something of the sue
ce5sful fair, and Of the great navy yard,
and Of the grand parade, and of the
magnificent ships, but the facts and
fancies are crowded out of his mind by
the rush. Some things have to be drop
ped and he must drop these for those
which are more important locally. But
it is hard to be kept from dwelling and
enlarging upon the beautiful and in
spring sights No one man can handle
a mass of accumulated business and do
Justice in half of day to what was
seen in Charleston last week, and there
is no use in trying, so just let it drop,
under the conditions described. 1t is
a job to pick up threads.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
clippings from the News and Courier.
To form some idea of one of the fea-
lures, read the following paragraph
from the paper:
"The eleven battleships of the At
lantic fleet won their really big victory
last night and the night before when
they showed the people Of this city
and the thousands of visitors who have
come here from elsewhere the most
beautiful electrical display ever wit
messed in these parts. 1t had been an
ticipated that the illumination of the
ships, would be q beautiful sight, but
the event itself surpassed all eS2ecta-
tions. The long line of battleships il
lumined in fire against the night trans
formed the harbor into a fairyland
The only ladies from Newberry seen
by the reporter were Misses Lois FAINT
and Genevieve Evans. There may have
been Others, ut among $4,000 visitors
swelling the population of city, faces
from ones home town are not easily
seen. Miss Amelia Klettner and her
brother Silas J. Klettner, were known
to have been there. The Newberry
men who saw some of the things an
seen by The Herald and News man
were Messrs. H H Evans N. L. Spear
man, J. r. Eison, and Mr.. Job Hentz, of
the county.
On the same train going from New
berry were the Misses Glider and Miss
Blanche Davidson, Messrs. Jno. NJ. Kin
ard, W. S. Langford, R. NJ Caldwell
and White Fant They stopped in Co.
lumbia, or else were lost in the crowds
in Charleston, to the eyes Of the re-.
porter. Mr.. ]. E. Summer changed
cars in Columbia to go about his busi-
ness, and Mr.. E. H Longshore took the
train from Columbia for Aiken.
One man from another town was
overheard to say that the Charleston
fair beat the State fair. The reporter
didn't see the State fair and if anyone
from Newberry saw both fairs he or
she can say whether or not the man
from another town was correct. But
they all will say that the sights they
saw in Charleston were worth seeing.
