PURELY PERSONAL
The Movements Of Many People
Newerrians and Those Who
Visit Newberry

Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Gnann and ht-
tie son of CIyo, Ga, are IN Newberry
on account of the illness of her "a
ther, Mr.. w. H. Lonainack.
Mr.. Jno. c. Higgins has gone to
Marion to handle insurance business,
Mrs. Higgins is visiting at her former
home in Anderson.
i Ernest Merchant returned last
week from visit to Wrightville
Beach.
/ Coroner F. NJ Lindsay was able to
walk about the city, very slowly, last
week for the first time since he was
I, laid up some time ago on account OF
his leg "gcing back on him" and MAX
ing him stay in the house, against his
will. When mans leg 'Egives way"
and refuses to 'tpull his weight" it
is tough luck-except to an ''idling
loafer or a loafing idler." The many
/ friends of the jovial, friendly, one
armed and lame-legged old vet and
gentlemanly coroner are mighty
glad to see him out and about again.
i Mrs. j. R. Tilley and friendly lit
| tie Miss Kathryn returned last week
after a prolonged visit to Mr.. Tilley
at Batesburg.
Mr.. Leroy Eargle was in Newber-
ry on business a couple days last
week. - Batesburg-Leesville News:
18th.
Today, Tuesday, at Silverstreet

urday at Walhalla ends the congress
sional campaign for this district. But
the state campaign party will be in

T. Saw a farmer in town one day last
|. week. Said he had good corn crop,
good wheat crop <and good potato
crop to gather, but the boil weevils
had already gathered his good cotton
crop. Said they gathered it fast, too.
| Lawyer E. J. Green was in Colum-
bia Friday on legal business.
|, If a candidate can't bring a more
damaging charge against an oppon-
ent than that of having once been a
picture peddler" he had better keep
|; his mouth shut. A man can be a
picture peddler" and an intelligent
gentleman at the same time, just the
same as a carpenter, painter, or
what not. This silly charge is re-
fection on all working men and
ought to be resented at the polls.
Being picture peddler didn't hurt
Hon. George w. Wightman in his ma
tive county, Saluda, as the people
there sent him to the state senate,
reelectd him after his first satisfac-
tory service.
H There, are always two sides to a
question. When we say we have, no
sympathy with striking workmen out
of job and suffering, because they
gave up good jobs which paid them
well, we should remember that it is
equally true that they have a griev-
ance in the fact-that officials are paid
such extravagantly and outrageously
high salaries, out of all proportion to
the duties performed. Another thing
to cause dissatisfaction is the pres
ence of a certain class Of inspectors
travelling over the state doing very
! little except stopping at first class
hotels at the expense of the taxpay-
ers. A good many useless Offices
ought to be abolished.
\ Miss Duckett is spending from
/ Sunday to Tuesday in Clinton.
\ Miss Mary Walker has returned

Fall.-Johhnson cor. Edgefeld Ad-
vertiser, 10th.

10. Sheppard.-Col E. II. Aull and

/ iTompkins.-Edgefeld Advertiser.
This reporter agrees with the OBJ
server man in saying "the rainy
weather is getting on the peoples
nerves." The Observer man wrote
/ that during the rainy spell, and the
weather may be all right by the time
this is printed, but it is truth never
theless. When a man has something
to make him complain it is natural
that rain, rain, day after day,
would "bring it out" It is all very
beautiful about 'Fthe sun may foe
shining tomorrow" and about that
