MISS VIRGINIA A. S0NDLEY.
Former Newberrian, Of Distinguished
Family, Was Pleasant Visitor
in NeWberry.

Miss Virginia A. Sondley, of Green
wood, spent a few days in Newberry
last week visiting Mrs. Edw. R. Hipp.
Miss Sondley is a native OF Newberry
county, being a member of the New
berry family of that name. She is a
direct descendant of Matthias Hentz,
who in the year 1850 lived near the
mouth of Cannons Creek, on Broad
river.
After the subscription lists for the
monument to the Women of the South
ern Confederacy, erected in Columbia,
had been closed, they were opened for
one day to receive subscription from
Miss Sondley, given in respect to the
memory of her mother, Mrs. Mary
Frances Branch Sondley, and her
grandmother. Mrs. Isaac Branch, who
accompanied her husband, DR.. Branch,
to the front in the War Between the
States, and assisted in caring for the
wounded and sick. 1t was erroneous
ly stated, in connection with the sub
scriptions to this monument, that it
was unique in that it was built without
the subscriptions of any woman, Miss
sondley being the only woman who
contributed.
Miss Sondley is cousin of the late
Col. Jno. L. Branch, who was in com
mand of the troops on Morris Island
including the corps of Citadel cadets
who fired upon the "Star of the West,
which volley was the irst fired in the
war.
Miss Sondley has many warm friends
in Newberry county, who are always
delighted to see her.

Virginia Justice.

We are accustomed, in America, to
1ook upon the English criminal courts
rs examples of what is possible in
thc way of convicting the guilty un-
der a system giving tle criminal less
rope" Yet Virginia with system
no better than that of other States,
subject to the same causes of weak
ness, manages to convict criminals
with encouraging regularity What
over the causes may be. the success of
Virginia courts in Furnishing guilty
persons constitute san advertisement of
Virginia that reaches from coast t.
coast, and even to other countries, anu
can not fail to interest persons who
read i. A State which does not turn
loose its criminals when once it lays
hands upon them is a good State in
which to build a home-the home Of
q wace-earner or the home of a gen.
t,eman of leisure who desires to live
where tbs government for whose main
tenance he pays taxes will give him

regret in this city by the number OF

story of his tragic death is told in the
following dispatch from Houston, Tex
as:
"a. No. l." the king Of hoboes, is
dead. Slipping from the rods OF d

trucks of the heavy coach and literally
ground to death.
Chicago" White, his companion OF
the last year, brought the news to
Houston. Chicago" and an old priest
had stood uncovered by the shallow
grave that held the fragments OF flesh
and bone that could be found.

every railroad man in the country, es-
pecially the railroad worknien of the
