SOME APPRECIATED WORDS

The editor put the knife to the root
of the subscription list on the last
issue and marked out all those whose
subscription was out before the first
day of September and it was done re-
gardless of whose name it was. 1t
was hard task, but it was done.
Some mistakes have been made we
know, but these will be corrected if
our attention is called to it. In those
cases where we We're requested to
carry the name for awhile we have
done so, and if not it was our purpose
to do so. We shall be glad to have
you come back and join the family
We have received many nice let
tiers, ard we hope that we may
be pardoned if we quote from a few
of them. We appreciate all the nice
things that are said of The Herald
and News, and so long as we are con-
nected with the paper will make an
effort to deserve all the kind things
that are said.
Our good friend, Judge Carroll j.
Ranlage of Saluda, writes:
Dear Friend Aull: / am sending
renewal to Herald and News. l al
ways Ike the news items; as memory
casts around Newberry the halo of my
youthful days.
81 enjoy reading the Larry CAN'T
letters. While there are some mae
crracies in them, yet they are de,
iightful. I enjoyed the one on
Ghosts and Supersttions very nauch.
/ do not think, judging from the ages
of the parties, that Elias Earle, the
boy whose face Senator Yancey
slapped, could have been the grand
father of Senator Iloy, as stated BY
Mr.. Ganth

hghtful to me.

our friend O'Neall Holloway who 5

OLD ABBEVILLE RICH IN
HISTORIC INTEREST
Was Refuge Of Davis in His Flight,
Says Larry CAN'T

That strip of country extending
from Abbevile, S. c., to Washington
Wilkes county, Ga, was the first set
tied on our up-country, and is rich IN
historic interest. The early settlers
were Cavaliers from England and
Frerch Huguenots, and the c.larac-
ter:stics cf these chiva.rous people
are to this day noticeable in the i:i-
h2 bitants, and this sect:c'l witnessed
the rise and fall of the Southern Con-
feCeracy. A little wooded knoll IN the
town of Abbeyille is known as "Seces-
sion Hill" for en- this spot was held
the first meeting to demand that
South Carolina secede from the un-
, ion. It was on the road dividing these
nlaces that Jefferson Davis traversed
while escaping from the Federal
troops, and in Washington he held the
last meeting of his cabinet and the
l. Lost Cause went to pieces.
Old Abbeville district has gwen TO
the country some Of its greatest
statesmen and warriors, John c. Cal
| houn, George McDuffie and other men
who made the history of our RepuIo-
lie were born in Abbeville. In the
town stands the only old Scotch Gov
enanter church perhaps in that state,
if not in the South. 1t has a small
congregation and who follow in the
footsteps of John Knox. And IN this
old district is the best preserved relic
! of the Revolutionary war-the Old
Star Fort at Ninety-Six and the tun-
mel leading thereto. The walls of the
fort are covered with giant oaks, and
the tunnel is as perfect as when first
dug. You can even read the names
af the Colonial soldiers cut by them IN
the clay now, hard as brick. And
in this territory are found four dead
towns, once prosperous business cen
ters. Bordeaux was built by French
Huguenots after their expulsion upon
the revocation of the edict of Nantes
At the confluence of. the Broad and
Savannah rivers once stood three pop
ulous and rival towns, Petersburg
Vienna and Lisbon. They were tlne
frontier cities and business centers
when Augusta was a small hamlet
| But today sunken spots mark the sites
eff wells and cellars and scattered
bricNbats are all that remain of these
dead towns are now cotton fields, as
is also old Cambridge, near Ninety,
Six.

Sheriff Marett, the negroes are said
to have crashed into the white peo-
Piles automobile while on its right
side of the road. Witnesses of the ac-
cident, or persons who saw the ne
groes before the accident declared
that their machine was being wildly
run, swerving from side to side of
the road.
Investigation of the cars after the
wreck disclosed a half gallon of
liquor in the negroes car, and this
was seized by the officers. Both cars
were badly torn up, the Ford being
almost a complete wreck.
One of the negro men, according to
the sheriff, tried to enter the Olds-
mobile after the wreck. The sheriff
said he thought the man was partially
dazed and thought he was getting into
his own car.
Injured Are Recovering
The Oldsmcbile was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. N. A. McNeal, both of
whom were shaken up and bruised
ard lacerated. Miss Mary Greer was
badly cut by flying glass. Her father,
Walter Greer, of Ware Shoals, was al
so injured more or less.
All of the negroes were more or
less injured. One of them was quite
seriously hurt, and was in the care
of the county physician last night.

On this trip took along my mother
who is spending the week with me and
Mrs. Aull and the boys. They spent
the day with Mrs. Kate Monts, an old
girl friend of my mother and close
relative and they had big time. Mrs.
Monts makes her home with her
daughter Mrs. W. B. Shealy and all
of US had dinner with this good fam
ily. Mrs. Monts is greatly blessed.
She has only three children, all daugh-
ters and they live right together we

lily. Mrs. DR.. J. NJ. Sease and Mrs. w.
A. Counts. Mother also had the op-
portunity of seeing some of her other
relatives down this side, among them
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Wise and Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. 3. Latham. 1t was a pleasant
day for her and she stood the trip
remarkably well. The road from st.
Philips across to Prosperity by Mr..
Eco Taylor's and Bachman Chapel
church is narrow and bad but we
made it all right. In fact I drove
around by the negro school house the
trustees are building out in Bethel
Garmany district, and made that same
trip across country from the Poor
House road to the Pomar;a road ait
St. Phillips. 1t is no wider than it
was the first trip made over it, and
there had been a good rain down that
side the day before and it was muddy,
but we made It all right.

On Monday morning l attended The
opening of the Bush River school,
taught this session by Misses Monts
and Livingston. On my invitation
Miss Berrie, the home demonstration
agent, went along. with me and made
a most excellent talk to the children
and patrons and gave some eN2e1l-
ences and successes she had as the
teacher of a one teacher school, and
the work she did and how it was done.
Pastor Burriss of the Bush River B:o-
tist church was present and conducted
rc,.,ious exercises and also made a
talk to the children. Ard l under
took TO tell them of the school laws
and some other things Altogether 1t
was a most delightful meeting and
several of the parents were present
and the spirit Of the meeting was
fire, and this school starts off well.
And | feel that some good work IS
going to be done here this year. inns
is new school building and had Only
one teacher the pas. year, but the en-
rollment VII warrant two teachers
and the district has an eight mlEs
tax. The building needs to DE pa-n.ed
and furniture and black5cards are
verv much needed. An Improvement
ASSOCIATION was organized, and 1t is
the purpose of the good women 10
take hold in earnec. to do somethlrS
to help the school, and if they keep
up the spirit exhibited at the school
at the opering We may expect great
things at Bush River during tns
school year. The friends OF the
school who were present on Monday
raised some s75 to help in the par
chase of desks that are a necessity

St. Phillips where the trustees are
adding two more rooms to their build
ing. They now nave four teachers at
St. Philips and only two class rooms,
the others being provided the past

I Ead the pleasure of attending the
formal opening, the gas barrage as
DR.. Carson called it, at the city hlgh
school on Wednesday morning and 1t
was real pleasure to see such
large number of young men and
Young women attending the high
school. Prof. Cannon says the en-
rolment is 100 to date. This is the
largest in the history of the New5erry
high school. There were none OF the
parents cs the children present, due
to the fact no doubt that the children
filed the auditorium but this will not
be another excuse because the aud
toriuan will be enlarged before an
other opening It is hoped. A thing
needed for several years but now
necessity. And the enrolment in the
ether school, is in the same proper
ton. Work will begin very soon on
the gymnasium and this VIII be used
for class rooms until the enlargement
Of the building is finished. It was
fine body of young fo!S at the high
school on Wednesday morning.
Br.of addresses were made by Presl-
dent Derrick CT Nevioerly college,
Col. f. H. Aull, county superlntend-
ent of education, Pastor Kerr OF the
Presovterisn church, DR.. Freed of the
lutheran church, DR.. Carson OF the
A. R. P. church, Dr.. Daniel OF the
Methodist church ard Mr.. W. II.
Wallace of the Closerer. 1t was a
fine and an inspiring exercise. Presl-
dert Su1rner Of the Mollohon Manu-
featuring company was present ou1
did not make a speech. Prof. Can
ron stated that the presidents OF 'all
the mills in the county not only PAID
their taxes for the schools willingly
and cheerfully but contributed hDer-
allv in addition to the support OF
the schools, Leliev:ng in the educa-
ton of the children. The Mollohon
company is just completing one OF
the best equipped and handsomest
school buildings in the state for the
use of the school which is now part
of the city school system. 1t not
only pays but it is right that the edu.
cation of these children is essential
to the pleasant and successful opera
ton of these mills.

tain scripture in Esaias the prophet
and preached Christ unto a certain
Ethiopian eunuch who had been up to
Jerusalem to worship Cod And as
they went on their way they came un-
to a certain water, and the eunuch
said, See here is water, what doth
hinder me to be baptized? And Phil
lip said, If thou believest with all
thine heart, thou mayest. And he an
swered and said believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God. And he
baptized him. We notice in verse 27
that the eunuch had been up to Je-
rusalem to worship God So he was
a devout man, no doubt, and believed
Gods word, and desired Phillip to
interpret certain scripture which re-
ferred to Christ. The eunuch was not
a sinner. What sinner would go from
Ethiopia to Jerusalem to worship
God? About the only difference be-
tween the eunuch and the twelve di-
sciples Paul baptized at Ephesus is,
the eunuch had not been baptized I'M

lieved that Jesus is the Son of God
before he was baptised, so he must
have been free from condemnation,
and therefore saved before he was
baptized. Now let us notice what
kind of people Phillip baptized at Sa-
maria.
Then Phillip went down to Samaria
and preached Christ unto them. And
the people with one accord gave heed
unto those things which Phillip spake,
hearing and seeing the miracles which
he did. For unclean spirits, crying
with loud voice came out of many that
were possessed with them, and many
taken with palsies, and that were
lame were healed. And there was
great joy in that city. (Acts 8:1-8)
These people no doubt had forgive
ness Of sins before they were healed.
They evidently believed on Christ be-
fore they could be healed. They had
great joy. They were surely saved
and healed before they were baptized.
We are sure that they had a stronger
faith in Christ than the present day
ministers who trust in medicine and
other things to cure their diseases i'll
stead of Christ.
Now to prove that these people had
