Burial of Joe Wilbur.

The body of Mr.. Joe Wilbur, the
Young man who was killed by train
in Fremont, Texas, on the 26th of
October, arrived at Newberry on the
1890 Southern train Sunday and
was carried to the home of his cousin,
Mrs. Robert D. Wright, in College
street, and thence conveyed to Rose
mont cemetery, where the service was
conducted at 80 by the Rev. E. D.
Kerr. The following were the pail
bearers: ]. Y. McFall, T. K. john
stone, R. C. Perry, C. G. Blease,
Floyd Bradley, D. c. Spearman, r. D.
Smith, Jr., and j. C. Goggans, Jr.
IA very large crowd gathered at the
grave and many were the beautiful
floral offerings to the memory of the
departed one whose spirit had so sud-
denly and tragically taken it's flight
to the "quiet land" as it was called
from 'tthe life of trial to the life Of
rest"
There have been no particulars
obtainable of the sad accident, fur
ther than that the unfortunate man
was "killed by a train The body
was not mangled, the only evidences
of the tragedy being the marks of a
blow near the left temple and a
bruise on the chin.

WHERE HALLOWEEN PARTY
WAS ONE OF brightest

On Friday night, at the happy
family home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
E. Leavell, Harrington street, the
young people who were the guests of
Miss Laura Folger (Mrs. Leavell's
young sister) and Irwin Leavell en-
,joyed one of the most delightful and
successful Halloween parties ever
given in Newberry. The house was
appropriately arranged for the occa-

lights, giving the place a wierd as

The boil weevil has reached New
berry. We saw one from the farm
of Mr.. j. D. Nance, and the animal
was still kicking though corked in a
bottle. And some have been seen on
Mr.. Welch Wilbur's place just above
Helena.
The beast has appeared in time to
warn our farmers to plant plenty of
grain and to provide for.the growing
of something besides cotton for an
other year. Grow pigs and cattle
and -heep and goats. By the way,
we heard a farmer say the other day
that he wanted to buy some no horn
goats, that they would destroy the
weevil. Not mainly for that reason,
however, was the no horn variety
wanted. Nor did the horn question
have anything to do with the weevil
destructive quality of the goat, but
this gentleman said that the horned
goat would frequently get caught in
the wire fence and destroy himself
by so doing, and this farmer did not
care to lose any of the goats in that
way.

There is very great unrest in all
departments. There never was a
time when there were so many strikes
and so many people wanting work
and so much work to be done and so
few people who want to do it. 1t is
a strange anomaly, but it seems to
be- true that you can not get any
one to do anything in the way of real
work, and yet there are all sorts of
bureaus to find employment for men
and women. The slogan is less work
and more pay. We heard farmer
say the other day that he had long
been in favor Of organizing farm
labor and shortening the work hours,
and that by so doing the price for the
produce of the farm would have to
increase. He argued that no other
profession or any class of labor had
such long hours as the farmer. And
that now and heretofore the farmer
never placed any price on what he
aad to sell, but simply brought it
along and would sell at what he could
get aid at the price fixed by some
one else, BIZ. that when he came to
purchase cloth or any manufactured
article The price was fzed By the

Newberry will raise her apportion-
ment for the memorial to our boys.
More than half the amount was sub
scribed at the meeting at the count
house on Sunday afternoon. 1t is
right and proper that she should do
so. We want to see purely memor-
ial building erected in Columbia.
That is the proper place for it. 1t
should not be on the college campus,
however, because that will not be
easily accessible to all the visitors to
the city and will not be seen by them.
1t should be placed on some of the
States property out in Main street
so that every one who went to the
city could not help seeing it as he
passed up from the station.
And the building should be used
for the purpose of storing the records
Of the boys who were in the service.
That is proper. And the historical
commission should have Offices in the
building and in that way could be
the custodian of the records and all
records pertaining to the wars could
be very easily kept in the same build
ing. In other words let it be really
and truly q historical building. In
that event if any citizen should desire
to obtain any record in regard to any
Of the wars it could be found in the
archives of the memorial building.

TIE LUrHERANs ARE COMING.

It is gratifying to the friends OF
Newberry and Summerland colleges,
the two Lutheran schools in this state,
to know how nobly the Lutherans
throughout South Carolina are re-
spending to the call of the schools.
1t is now assured that the 100000
asked for the institutions which is
being contributed so cheerfully and
so fully, will be more than raised and
these Christian schools will be put
in position where they can do the
work for which they were builded so
much more satisfactorily than ever
before. They will not be cramped all
the time and then they can pay the
professors even something in the
neighborhood of what is right and
just.
It is gratifying to the friends of the
colleges that the people have done so
well. Almost all the congregations,
even the mission churches, have done
more than was asked, and the con-
gregations that do not contribute
even beyond the apportionment will
be rather lonely and will be the loser,
because those that give to such
causes have a great deal less trouble
in raising money for local causes and
for pastors salary than those that
do not.

this way it might be that the price
could be fixed by the producer, and
therefore in order to cut down pro-
duction he would cut down the hours
for work.

going to come into his own and that
he will in reality be able to get a
fair return for his labor.

we quote the level-headed Green

price of cotton, all cotton men agree
that there is to be a shortage of
white cotton and that the price will
eventually be better. Of curse we
are all aware that this "white" cot
ton will be short, but it is .ncourag-
ing to read that the price Will be
better.
