there's one thing that Secretary OF

The dramatic treat of tae year,
rPaid In Full" will be presented at
NeWBerry for one night only, Wednes-
dav December 81. "Paid In Full" is
the best play ever written by an Amer
lean dramatist. The story is a pro-
foundly moving one, yet not without
its lighter touches, and it is protray-
ed with an unerring realism that
shows the authors thorough compre-
hension and understanding OF the con-
,ditions he has thus ably depicted.
Through it all runs vein OF sentl-
ment that tugs at the heart with al
most Irresistible appeal. The acting
company is headed by Eiley O'Connor,
a Miss not yet out of her teens, but
who mas won her spurs on Broadway,
and she has the support of one OF
the hest acting companies ever in the
South. each member being entirely
adequate to the requirement OF the
various roles. The play is too well
known to intelligent people to need
comment, and the management guar
antee a high-class, clean, clever pro-
duction of this great play. Prices for

NEGROES SHOOT NEGROES.
Two Dead in NeWberry COunty-One
Shot in Head Just Across Line
and May Recover.

It was the general impression that
the Christmas time had come and
passed in Newberry without serious
accident or without tragedy, but late
reports are to the effect that at least
two negroes were killed or met violent
deaths.
Jack Toland, a negro who lived on
Mr.. James Renwick's place in No.
township, was found dead in his house
on Saturday night with hole in his
head as if inflicted by some blunt in
strument, and he had been dead since
Tuesday night. 1t seems that he liv-
ed alone and was not discovered until
Saturday night. The coroner en-
paneled a jury of inquest on Sunday
and adjourned to future day to con-
tinue the inquiry. 1t is tine suspicion
that several other negroes were in the
house with Toland and that they were
gambling and Toland had been win
ner and the killing of Toland was one
way to get the money ack that he
had won. Sheriff Blease went out on
Sunday and arrested three negroes
who are held on suspicion until the
inquest is completed.
A negro was killed on the oath of
the month on Mrs. Richards place in
Maybinton. A jury of inquest was
empaneled and began the investiga-
ton and was to have completed it on
Monday. The negro was shot in the
left breast and the theory was that
it was suicide, but the position of the
Fwound and other circumstances were
a little suspicious and it was thought
best to investigate, so Magistrate
Henderson, acting as coroner, has
been investigating the case.
The editor of The Herald and News
spent a part of the day, Friday at Dy-
son, just across the river in Green
wood county. Just before we rralVeu
at the station about four o'clock we
understand that a negro by the name
of VIM. Blocker had shot another
negro by name John Williams, in the
head, and it was thought that he
might possibly die. The negro WHO
was shot is said to have been bad
negro and was one Of the hands who
worked at the brickyard. We heard
several of his own race talking about
what bad negro he was and that they
had been expecting that he would
sooner or later be killed by some
one. Just what the row started about
no one seemed to know except that
we heard several say that it was
"liquor and women We nave not
heard whether the wounded man died
or not.
