Caught in Charleston.

Late Sunday afternoon it was re-
ported to Chief Of Police Rodelsper-
ger that Frank Miller, carnival EN-.
ploye, had stolen some clothes from
the room of Mr.. Walter Renken at
the Hotel Savoy and had skipped to
another place with the goods. Sun
day night the chief phoned to the
chiefs of police of Columbia and
Charleston to be on the watch for
Miller On Monday at about midday
the Charleston chief phoned Rodel-
sperger that he had his man. Not
feeling we'll enough to undertake the
trip to Charleston the NeWbei'y chief
sent Policeman H. O. Stone to that
city. Mr. Stone left on the 1888 C.
n, and l.. train Monday afternoon and
returned to Newberry on the South
ern Cannon Ball train Tuesday morn
ing about o'clock. That was quick
work for Harry o., who has develop
ed lightning-like movements all along
the line.
The kind hearted management Of
the Goodman shows paid Miller out OF
his troubles and he returned to his
work, Mr.. Renken, in the goodness of
his nature, not wanting the man pun
ished. Mr.. Renken recovered all his
property, as Miller was Caught with
the goods"
There is no use trying to run away
from Chief Rodelsperger and his
men. He has force that leaves no
stone unturned in the hunt for men
wanted at headquarters.

in the death Of Mrs. Caroline Fran
ces Holbrook, November q, 1915,
Newberry has lost one of its oldest

Webster. Boardman, both of prominent
New England families, the mother d
near relative of Daniel Webster, Mrs.
Holbrook was born at Dunstable. n.
H, December 4, 1881, and therefore
lacked only a few days of being 50
years of age. She was married in
1862 to Warren Holbrook, a Civil En-
| gfneer. At the close of the Civil
BWar Mr.. Holbrook's work brought
him to the South where the family
cheerfully accepted many of the hard
ships incident to the reconstruction
period After building cotton mills
in Mississippi and Georgia, Mr. Hol-
brook came to Newberry> in 1883, to
superintend the construction of the
Newberry Cotton Mill. So impressed
were the directors with his ability
and business management that they
constrained him to continue as su-
perlntendent. Since MS death the
family have made their home in New
berry, the only daughter became the
wife of Mr.. S. B. Jones. and both
mother and daughter have identified
themselves with the best interests Of
the city.
4 Mrs. Holbrook was an unusually in
&elligent woman, always interested in
khe things of the present, kind and
kmpathetic. unselfsh and ready to

It's well enough to look a little

sheep on large scale has generally
been prosperous, but even then there
have been slumps in the wool mar

the sheep barons. One extreme fol.

Darwin has been proven right in his

the trained gorilla that died recently

monkeys brain proved to them that
he could reason and would soon have
begun to talk as sensibly as one half
our present population. The one thing
that seems to puzzle them is whether
man ascended or decended from the
