says there was never such person,
or at least there never was such a
ride. we claim and always will claim
the heroic Emily Geiger. Take from
South Carolina history her daring
ride and the visit of the English
lieutenant to Marion's camp and III;
pages Will have lost their charm for
ever.
There are two other girls equally
as brave as Emily Geiger-and of
whom we are equally as proud
Dicey Langston and Mary Musgrove.
The former was a courier and the
latter the heroine of Kennedy's nov
ell. Horseshoe Robinson.
So much for men and women and
now for a hasty glance at things.
Newbcrry district was an averaged
sized one-about forty miles square
being the size prescribed by the
legislature in 1885. The census OF
1870 gives the total population Of
this district as 9,342. The county
scat stands upon lands originally
granted to John Jones: This district
has always. been noted for its able
iurists-which reputation it still
sustains. Law and order have al
ways prevailed, some colonial Off
GERS not even permitting swearing.
Fewer lynchings and homicidcs have
occurred within its boundaries than
in any other county Of the state!
Alphabetically speaking Newberry
district has always been leader. The
thrifty coionists did not need to rely
upon the outside world or principal
cities for necessities for while they
were not exactly 4 law unto them
selves, they were store all their
own. All surplus supplies were sent
to Charleston by wagon. Hides,
beeswax, tobacco, cotton in round
bales, and wool were the chief eX-
ports.
For nearly two ccnturies-since
1738-Newberry district has been
in existence, and through trying
vicissitudes has kept her banner fly
ing and her escutcheon clean. She
has never been found among the in
different in any worthy cause, nor
classed among the deaf to any call
for help-nor; numbered with the
slackers in any war for liberty-for
her sons have been like Washington,
''first in warj first in peace"-with
South Carolina first in the hearts of
all her people!

vices las that is as much as any Wo-
man is worth" he would jestiEgly
reply to the question, ''How much do
you charge?"
While speaking of religious de-
nominations it is interesting to find
that St. Johns and St. Pauls Luther
an. churches have the distinction Of
still being in possession of the glebe
lands granted by George the third.
Active churches have been in opera
ton on these grants for the past $50
wears. Marpolc Lutheran church and
the three Associate Reformed church
es known as Cannon's Creek, Kings
Creek and Prosperity were the only
churches in Ncwbcrry district during
the Revolution. Considering the
number Of inhabitants the number OF
churches was very limited. 1t is a
fact worthy Of note that during CO.
lonial days protesting church mem
bcrs were few in the upper districts.
Along educational lines there were
two fine schools, the Newberry Acad-
emy, founded by popular subscrjp-
ton in 1906, and the Mt. Bethel
Academy, established by Rev. Mr..
Dougherty Of the Methodist church.
The latter had the honor Of furnish
ing the first students and graduates
Of the South Carolina college. These
students were compelled by necessity
to do light housekeeping but they
graduated in December 1908 and be-
came most useful citizens-all Of
them becoming teachers CT minis
tors.
Speaking Of the Revolution proper
no real engagement ever took place
in Newberry district, unless the
skirmish at Musgrove's mill deserves
the name Of battle. This clash, trif-
ling as it seemed, did much good in
relieving the general depression of
this period. Our forefathers, how
eyer, joined themselves to Gen. Sum-
ter and harassed the British and
TcIies at every opportunity. Not
withstanding the fact that their fame
has never been heralded in large let
te:s, they played the parts assigned
them with courage and efficiency. 1t
has been left mainly to family rec
oraas to preserve in writing the many
brave deeds they We're necessarily
called upon to perform.
The most prominent Newberrian in
the Revolution was Col. Philemon
Waters, native Of Virginia. Col.
Wcters learned the game of war. in
company with George Washington
during the French and Indian wars.
Like Washington he was a surveyor
and many Of the grants in Newbsrry
district were surveyed by him. He
was also judge and member of
the legislature.
When, Washington visited our state
Col. Waters met him at the Juniper.
This was happy meeting and for
old sake's sake they tried their skill
cthand with rifle at a. target 400
yards distant. Who was victorious
in this contest is not told. Col. Wa
ter5 was buried at his home on Bush
rivcr. The old G. and c. railroad,
now the Southern to Greenvillc, was
built by his grandson.
One Of the most loved and roman
tic women Of the Revolution grew
up in Ncwbcrry district. Although

Says nothing like plain Argo-Phos phate to put on firm, solid, stay there flesh and muscle and
 increase strength, vim,
 vigor and nerve force

Physicians claim there is nothing that will increase weight, streng h and endurance like organic phosphate commonly known by druggists as go-phosphate; it is inexpensive and is sold by all leading druggists every where under a guarantee to give satisfaction or money refunded. Weakness and thinness are usually due to starved nervous conditions.
 Our bodies need more phosphates than are contained in the foods we eat.
 If you wish more rounded figure and plump well-developed arms, neck and bust in place of hollows you should simply take plain argo-phos- phate as it builds up and restores rundown nervous conditions by phosphatizing the system. It trans forms the appearance and an increase in weight is often times quickly pro- duced.
 The increase in weight also aids Ill improving the general health Sleep lessness, nervousness, lack of energy and ambition quickly disappear.
 Pale cheeks are changed to rosy ones and dull eyes become bright.

 SPECIAL NOTICE:-Owing to the fact that so many physicians and druggists are recommending argO- phosphate for relieving all nervous, worn-out debilatated conditions and the unusually large sale for argo- phosphate there will be found in the market numerous substitutes for the genuine article.

that there is neither mo shiny

the people being too busy preparing
for bumper crop, which is well and
we hope that Bro. Sellers is altogeth-

those who have been fooling with it
in our County will also turn to the
soil and otherwise expend their ef-
