CHARTER MEMBERS OF
NEnBERRY LUTHERAN CHCRCH

When one of the older persons OF
the community dies there is always
brought to mind some historical ey-
ent that took place in their lives. The
death of Mrs. Cline brings up the Or
ganizatior Of the Lutheran church In
Newberry. And there is always dlf-
ference of recollection as to what the
facts are. Some said that Mrs. Cline
was not a charter member OF the
church and others that Mrs. Mary
Rawl was the only other Of the char
ter members now living.
The Herald and News has printed
the list several times but at this time
republication Of the list will nc
doubt be of interest to many OF ouE
readers. The old church was built
by Mr.. Wallace Al Cline, the husband
of Mrs. Cline The following is the
correct list of charter members OF
the Lutheran church which was or
ganized in Newberry July II, 1858:
Matthias Barre, W. W. Houseal, Da-
vid Werts, j. L. Morgan, j. L. Aull
]. K Schumpert, ]. l.. Schumpert
Mrs. Jane Barre, Mrs. Eliza C. Hous,
cal. Mrs. Sara Werts, Mrs. Harrie,
Morgan, Mrs. Susan Kinard, Mrs
Louise C. Hunter, Mrs. Hercelia F
Cline, Mrs. Harriet Schumpert, Miss
Elizabeth Morgan, Miss Mary Ann
Barre, Miss Elizabeth whitman, Miss
Eliza Jane Gauntt, Miss Amanda c.
stockman, Miss Minerva E. Schum-
OF these so far as we can recall
the only ones living now are Miss
Mary Ann Barre, nov Mrs. Mary
Rawl, and J. L. Aull who lives IN
Greenwood at Dyson.
A strange proceeding about the Or
ganization and building of the church
is that according to the records the
trustees and the building committee
we're none OF them members OF the
church. The following were the
trustees: Henry Summer, B. j. Ra-
mage, Thos. w. Holloway, Geo. G.
DeWalt, E. P. Lake, C. H. Suber, ia
cob Kibler.
The building committee was com
posed Of: J. P. Kinard, A. c. CARING
ton, o. B. Mayer, E. Y. McMorries, y
A. Hunter.

An Old Bible.

A few days ago our good old frlenc,
Mr.. W. H. Sloan, came by the Office
and showed US an old family bible. 1t
was his grandfathers bible, and 10
9S years old. 1t was published In
1919 in marlborough, VT, and was
J. Holbrook's stereotype copy, eighth
edition. 1t is noted in the book that
it was bought by Samuel Sloan IN
January, 1919, at cost OF $500. SAM
uel Sloan was the grandfather OF W..
H. Sloan. Samuel was born 12tn
January, 1774, and died "a January,
1852. He was married to Agnes
Moore 2Sth April, 1914. She was
born September Is, 1776, and died
January 2s, 1868. Their son, James
S. Sloan, was born April 81, 1917, and
he was the father of ". H. Sloan. The
bible contains a record of the family
history. We did not take the entire
history from the record, but we learn
ed ". H. Sloan and Octavia Hunter
were married December %, 1870, and
they are both living a. Little Noun
tain.
The book is bound in leather and
well preserved and the print is large
and clear. More of these old family
bibles should be preserved, and the
present day families should keep SUCH
records. They are valuable and inter-
esting.

Powerful And Magnificent Production

Geraldins Farrar the famous prima
donna in her first Aircraft production

the special attraction at the Colonial
Theatre Saturday, matinee and

many thrilling incidents. 1t is indeed
a remarkably wonderful spec tscle.
The costuming is wonderful as are the
settings and the photography. The
story tells of an Aztec king who re.
sents the intrusion of the Spaniards,
who have come to convert the Aztecs
to the cross. Because Tezcs, daugh-
ter of the king, loves Alvarsdo, one OF
the Spanish captains she allows the
Spaniards TO enter the palace and
after terrific battle she is the only
surviving Aztec and they allow her to
depart in peace. An excellent csst
supports the famous star, including
Wallace Reid. vino gives an excellent
portrayal of the character of the young
Spanish Captain. Geraldine Farrsr is
superb as Tezca, the daughter of the
king. 'Tne Woman God Forgot" is a
picture long to be remembered.

The spirit and romance of old Mex.
leo, and the hazardous adventures
which overtake an American army
officer in search of bold, bad bandit,

r A. Welsh has just completed with
Miriam Cooper in the leading role.
This picture, another wonderful pro.
duct of Director Walsh's genius. will
be the attraction at the Republic to-
morrow.
The story tells of senorita's dreams
Of love. She begins by promising 10

for which Director Walsh is famous.
Everything concludes TO the entire

M'MULLEN'S ADVICE
Says Party Leaders Should Avoid Fac.
tional Trouble and Court Clear
Cut Actions.

State Comptroller McMullen, dis
GUESSING the result of the election,
made the following comment:
THE result of Tuesdays election
shows the State of Maryland at heart
is Democratic. 1t also shows that
Democratic leaders must anticipate
the questions which affect the we'll
being Of the state and give their So
luton careful analysis before they
threaten party supremacy in the
state and be prepared to act on them
before they become party factional
matters. In other words, the Demo
cratic party in Maryland, instead of
bein ga party of factions, must be a
party of clear-cut actions. The re-
suit in Baltimore city indicates a very
deep-rooted feeling for city extension
Further than this, | do not care to
make any statement, because be-
lieve the way to heal Democratic dis
sension is not to say anything which
will keep it alive"

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The Colonial Theatre Tonight.

Norma Talmadge, in a splendid pic
turizatIon of William Dana circuit g
novel 1.-The Moth, will be the excel

affluent spouse. A dashing English
soldier, Captain Ancnester, a man of
mystery, flashes across the horizon
ana further complexities matters. The
supposed murder of Mrs. Marbridge,
which is finally determined to be a sui.
eide, adds to the complexity of the
story. A truly human note is sounded
when Lucy's children, Babs and Larry,
win their mothers love and she finds
the long sought happiness right in her

the breathless interest of the spec

At the Republic Theatre Tonight.
+ Betty Be Good is the title of the
interesting picture to be shown at
the Republic Theatre for tonight
Betty Brownlee is seventeen, very
pretty and child of wealth-but her
middle name spells Trouble. Bet
ty's mother is dead, ard the girl has
been reared by her indulgent father,
Jonathan Brownlee, retired capitalist.
The Brownee home is located in an ex-
elusive suburb. Here Betty succeeds
in getting tangled up in all sorts of in
nocent mischief, so much so that her
fathers stock phrase has become
"Now Betty, be good!" The girl re.
sents this oft repeated admonition be-
cause she believes she is as good as
she possibly can De. Peter Madison is
mayor of the big city, and he and
Brownies are bitter political enemies.
So pronounced is this feeling that the
two families have nothing in common,
and Betty has never met Jimmy Madi
son, the mayors only son. Jimmy,
just out of college, is indulging in his
summer vacation before plunging into
the serious tide Of life. Aching for
excitement, Jimmy becomes member
of the police department. At the
Bsownee home, Betty is severely
scolded by her father for some fresh
act of mischief. Indignant, the girl
decides to run away. She goes TO the
Brownlee garage, breaks the lock on
the big doors with Ratchet, gets out
her father runabout and starts for
the city, having wired her aunt, Mrs.
Maddox, that she is coming to visit
her. The Brownlee chauffeur discov-
ers the loss of the car and he and Mr..
Brownlee decide that someone has
stolen the car. They hastily phone
the police department. Among the
patrolmen just going out on duty and
who are given the stolen cars num-
Der, is Jimmy. A little later Jimmy
spots the Brownlee runabout speeding
down the street. AS he steps out in
front Of the machine motioning the
driver to stop, Betty, however. only
slows down and Jimmy is picked up
bodily by the bumper of the car he
manages TO cling to the hood and works
his way to the drivers seat. See the
