4 TRIP TO SHORTHAND.
Play Given at the High School Audi
tOrium Tuesday Night Big
Success.

One Of the most unique entertain
meats ever given in NeWberry was "A
Trip to Storyland,' presented in the
high sc4ool auditorium last TuesGa.
evening to full house. Miss Bess
Kibler had carefully trained 40 high
school pupils, and the success Of the
play is an evidence Of her ability
along this line. The characters were
taken from Mother Goose" and the
costumes worn were original and ap-
propriate. Seeing Little Red Riding
Hood Jack Horner," Cinderel-
Ia etc., ell in the flesh, and hearing
the familiar rhymes, brough, to the
older folks fond recollections of the
past, and filled the younger set with
delight.
All Of the characters deserve much
credit for the way in which they acted
their paris, AID special mention
should be made of Mis- KatAry2
Harms as Golden HAIR" John Floyd
as George Porgie,' Neely Cromer as
Jack of the Bean Stalk, Joe Vigod-
sky as Simple Simon," and Miss
Mary Kibler as ''The Milkmaid." The
proceeds from the play will be used
20 assist in paying for Victrola
which was recently purchased for use
in the school.
GA Trip to storyland'' was the first
play that has been given by the school
talent in some time, and it is hoped
that these entertainments will be
more frequent.
Miss Kibler, under whose direction
the play was given, leaves shortly
for Randolph-Macon woman's college,
to take part in Greek play, ''Elec-
tra," by sophocles, the music for
which she composed at the request of
the college,

The Supreme Court Bible.

Christian Herald.
1t is tiny little book, only five and
a fSlf ilches long and three and half
inches wide. 1t is bound in bright red
morocco leather, with the word Bible,
printed in diminutive gold letters on
me back. BIT cne doesn'! see that
red morocco cover unless ne removes
the little black leather slip which pro-
tects it. Long, long, ago the little red
Bible began to show wear and then
the black leather slip was made to
protect it-so long ago in fact that
fifteen of those covers, made TO pro-
tect the veAerated little volume, were
worn out in the service. 1t is with
out doubt one OF the oldest Bibles, if
not the very oldest Bible, connected
with the government, and is certainly
the most historical. 1t is the book up
on which, since 1900, every chief
justice, with the single exception Of
Chief Justice Chase, and every mem
Der of the supreme court, has taken
the oath of allegiance when accepting
his appointment to our highest tri-
bunal. More than that, every attor-
ney who mas practiced before the su-
preme court since that date, 1900,
has pledged his allegiance over the
little volume All with one excep-
ton, and that exception was Daniel
Webster. 1; is told even yet of the
supreme court of that day that Mr..
Webster's fame as an orator had so
preceded him that on the occasion
when he came to argue his first
case before the court, the clerk, Mr..
Caldwell, in MS eage~ness to hear the
great speaker, forgot to administer
the oath.

an immense corrugated iron struc-
ture, before the alarm could be turn

Birds That Eight Eagles.

In Foula, one of the Shetland is
laads, the natives make a business of
rearing shau gulls in order to rid the
island of the eagles that congregate
there and commit many depredalions.
The magnificent red sandstone cliffs
that skirt the northwestern coast be-
came a favorite haunt Of the eagles,
and in this inaccessible spo; they in
creased so rapidly that they BECAME
a terror to the farmers and fishermen
who dwell on this isolated spot. The
skau gulls are also strong and fierce
and the inve.erate Toes of the eagle.
In the battle the gulls are nearly al
ways victorious, and so the inhabi-

their fea laered enemies, are very
peaceful and docile when brought in

Mountain battle ground, in this coun-
ty. las night at ABOUT 1880 o'clock,
Both the dead men were Drained with
a homemade baseball bat about three
feet long, made of cedar. They are
said to have been engaged in mauufac-
turing and selling illici whiskey.
Both the Turner'S are in Jail, having
surrendered to the sheriff early this
m5rning. An inquest was held today
b. Magistrate A J. QuiAn, Of Clover.
None Of the witnesses examined tes-
titled as to actually having seen the
killing. and several who were persent
seemed to know little or nothing about
it. From such as could be obtained
it seems that the deplorable affair
was due to he ',act rlat Wells and
Dover were bota more or less under
the influence of whiskey. 1t is said
they had previously asserted that they
proposed to kill tne next officers Of
the law who uader;ook to interfere
with their business or arrested them,
and that they mistook the Turner's
for officers.

Had Gone Fishing.

The Turner's are farmers and live
on tle public road about eight miles
above Yorkville. After a heavy rain
fall in taat section on yesterday they
decided to go fishing, and drove to the
home of Jim Mack, and left their
buggy there and went to the creek
lear by to fish. They returned to the
house short time before the killing
and found Dover and Wells, who mis-
took them for officers, and are said
to have drawn pistols on Ed Turner
and ordered him to hold up his hands.
Mack testified that four shots were
fired, and stated that Turner fred
twice and that the other parties fired
twice, but stated tnat he was not near
enough to see the movements of all
the parties:
After the shooting was over it was
discovered that both Wells and Dover
had been Drained and were practically
dead, and that Dover had been shot
in the right leg below the knee. The
jury returned verdict that Wells and
Dover had come to their death by rea-
son of blows on their heads inflicted
by Thad E. Turner.
