BACK INTO THE PAST.
Governor BieaSe Runs Across Jury
Tickets Preserved For Some
Thirty Years.
to The Herald and News.

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, May 29.-While looking
through an old book belonging to his
father, Governor Cole. L. Blease ran
across six slips of paper on which
were written the names of six New
berrians of two decades and more ago,
the six slips evidently forming the
jury list in a case in the court OF
Magistrate Henry H Blease, the gov
erner's father. The handwriting was
that of Mr.. P. F. Baxter, who was at
one time constable for Magistrate
Blease.
AS is generally known, in magis-
trate's courts, in selecting jury, the
names of eighteen men are selected,
and six of these drawn compose the
jury. Evidently these six had been
drawn from the eighteen.
OF the six men, five have passed in
to another world, only one surviving.
Each ticket bears the number, and
by strange coincidence the number
of the survivor was 13. The gentle
man whose number was 13 is Mr..
Campbell L. Havird, probably the only
merchant in Newberry today who was
in the mercantile business at that
time.
The six tickets were as follows:
B. H. Lovelace, 8.
J. O. Peoples, I.
J. P. Fant, 3.
]. F. Glenn, 16.
C. L. Havird, 13.
Columbus McWhirter, 9.
Some idea of how long ago it was
that this jury was empanelled may be
cleaned from the fact that this writer,
who has lived in Newherry all his life,
recalls in the flesh only two Of those
who have passed away, though the
names of all of them are familiar to
him as the names Of men identified
with the city.
Governor Blease forwarded the slips
to Mr.. P. F. Baxter, knowing that they
would be valued by him as souvenirs
of past of which happy memories
linger, though tinged with the sadness,
which time can not efface, of the pass
ing of the comrades and friends Of
yesterday.
Such things as this carry those who
were connected with them back into
other days, and it is always profitable,
in the right kind of spirit, to go
back to by-gone days. This incident
will carry the editor of The Herald
and News back to the days of his
young manhood, for he at one time
was Magistrate Blease's assistant in
the magistrates Office, and there be-
gan a friendship which has descend
ed.
Had it not been for the fire of the
spring of 1907, which destroyed the
papers of the late lamented Magis-
trate Blease, it would be possible to
trace this jury to the case which it
was selected to try.
Possibly the survivor Of the six
gentlemen who composed the jury
may recall the case, though it is hard
ly probable after the lapse of some
thirty years, unless it was case
which especially imprinted itself upon
his memory.

Death of a Young Girl.

Miss Ruby Startling, the 12-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Star
ling, died on Monday evening at $50
o'clock, at Knowlton's hospital, after
an operation for appendicitis and was
brought to Newberry on the 1.29 train
on Tuesday afternoon for interment at
Cleland's burial ground, service by
the Rev. D. P. Boyd. The bereaVed
parents in the gloom OF their home
in the Smyrna neighborhood, have the
sympathy of all. The ending OF a
bright young life under such circum-
stances is among the very saddest OF
all sad deaths and calls for the deep
est sympathy to the afflicted family.

earth is not exactly spherical, but Is
somewhat thickened at the equator
and tiattened at the poles, to disturb
her present axis OF % IL degrees in
clination it would be necessary to ap-
ply additional weight at either one
OF the two poles. The additional
weight of the water for the Sahara
sea-, spread out as it would be at the
equator, could not therefore affect the
balance Of the earth's axis.
But 1t is said that the climate OF
Europe would be endangered. That
Is a more interesting, because a more
plausible objection. At present there
is very little rain owe the desert re-
gions Of North Africa. Scientists
agree that this dryness is due not to
the arrangement OF n~elghborlng
mountain ranges, but to various ply
steal causes In the region itself. Per
haps the presence of SO extended q
body Of water might produce rains.
Certainly it would ~equalize the tenn
perature so that there would be less
intense heat by day and less intense
chill by night; but comparison with
other regions bordering on seas In
the equatorial zone shows that It
could not reduce the temperature OF
a tropical climate 10 that OF any
merely temperate region not inf1u-
enced-as Bermuda is, for example
by warm winds or currents. That
eliminates one of the assumed dan
gers.
The warm climate OF the british
Isles is due to warm ocean currents
which sweep their shores. it Is most
unlikely that drawing from the Allan
tic ocean the water required to form
a Sahara sea would defect, to any
| serious degree, II at all, any of these
great currents. That eliminates an
other danger. The third and last
danger that has universal import con-
sists in whether or not such a sea
| would too greatly cool the winds that
blow from Africa across the Medlter-
ranean to southern Europe. But IT
is safe to predict that while colonists
living upon the shores OF the Sahara
sea would doubtless delight in n
cool zephyrs that might blow from
it's surface around their homes, there
would be no appreciable change IN
the "Afric breezes" that blow across
the Mediterranean. Why, he Sahara
