THERE rs AN OPTIMISM.

There is an optimism in the atmos-
phere in Newberry which one cannot
help but notice which has not been
felt here for some time. 1t seems to
have taken hold on the community
within the last few weeks and per-
yades everything. You don't hear peo-
3le complaining, you don't hear them
making unkind remarks about other
people. We believe it marks new
era for the town. Everybody has the
:dea that business is going to be good
this year.
We even heard farmer say the
other day that he had a good crop
he best he had ever habitat ne and
MS brother would make a hundred
bales of cotton this year and that he
would make good clear money on his
farm. You know farmers have an
unfortunate habit Of complaining, if
it is not about thedrouth it is about
the incessant rains or something else,
and it is largely habit.
There is a good crop in this county
this year and the price of cotton is
good and there is no reason why the
GARNER should not be happy A good
corn crop, good hay crop, a good pea
crop and good cotton crop, and the
Yrice is good. Why shouldn't every
body be happy and make everybody
else happy.
One thing we want to say to the
farmer: You better sell as fast as you
sather and get to the gin so long as
the price ranges around twelve cents.
%2et rid of your debts and stop inter-
est and put money in circulation. It
&oes not pay to hold cotton and pay
interest wnen cotton will bring twelve
ents the pound. Remember that. 1t
IS important.
Let every one encourage the opti-
aistie feeling and talk good times and
.yood business and they will come
4auch quicker than by knocking and
hicking about everything.
Sell your cotton, pay your obliga-
Ions, read The Herald and News and
1e happy.

RAYkER'S OLDEST
STORE BUILDING BURNS
Loss About $4,000, Part.'
ally Covered by Insur-
ance. Will Re-bui;d

Another bad fire visited Raymcr last
Sunday morning. Sometime after mid
night the Hurtgen store was discover
ed to be in flames in the roof, and by
the time the occupants were awakened
it was too far gone to save any Of the
contents worth speaking Of.
Mr.. Hurtgen and Ed Smith were
sleeping in the rear room of the store
and did not retired till near midnight.
When the smoke awoke them, the roof
was already on fire and nearly ready to
fall in. They Immediately started to
get out the safe, cash register and
books. There was dance at the
school house and the dancers must have
seen the fire about the same time and
they decended on the town in body to
help fight the flames. and save the
stock, but it was too late to save any.
thing, except what we have mentioned
However, attention was turned to
what seemed like the hopeless task OF
saving the Crook restaurant. This
would have been an impossible task,
had ii not been for the immense quaint
tiles OF snow close at hand, tank Of
ater and the absence of any wind.
The loss is placed at between S., ,OOC
and s.. 600 on the stock Of goods and
81, 500 on the building.
1t is believed that the fire caugh!
from defect in the chimney.
Mr.. Hurtsen tells us that he intends
t. rebuild, either of brick or cement.
No more wooden buildings for him.
This building Is the Oldest store in
town, and many thousand dollars have
been paid over its counters.
The loss on Dir. Hurtgen is a heavy
one. and all are hoping tnat he will be
able to retrieve himself and build a
better building on the ashes Of the old.
