They discovered the poison in the glasses from which they were drinking, and by immediately taking an antidote and producing vomiting they prevented serious results. Quick silver was also discovered in milk given to a negro man. On Tuesday a negro boy who was living on the place, decamped, leaving no doubt that he was the fiend who poisoned the milk. It is supposed that by the assistance of an a?sociate he got possession of a' bot tle of quicksilver that Mrs. Boozer had in the house. Knights of the Golden Rule.

The exercises proir'se to be varied and in teresting consisting in the main, of essays, orations, recitations, a debate and music. Every effort is being made to make the occasion a pleasant one, and no pains will be spared to accom modate those who may attend. All who feel an interest in such matters, are specially invited to attend. School Celebrations. On Friday nighlt last the Sunday school children of the colored methio list church, entertained themselves and a large audience at the Hog~e school house. It ra a very credita ble and entertainnmg celebration, and the audience was well pleased with the marked sign:s of religious instrule tion on the part of the children. On Saturday wve attended Jesse Brook's school pie nie near Dr. G. W. Glenn's residence, eight miles from town, andl were gratitied w;th the ad mirable delivery of the many declaima tions by his bright pupils. A fter their little speeches, short addres ses were made by the principal and others, all of which was appropriate lv followed by a splendid dinner. This'school has ani attendance of sixty, wvith a roll of ninety. An Embargo. Some time ago a contract was made between the County Commissioneris and Mr. J. F. Oxner, by which he w~as to receive a stipulated sunm, monthly, for putting the traveling public of Newberry, across Enomee River, till the completion of Brazehnan's Bridge. Tha's chapter one. Last week Mr. Robt. Moorman's hands and wvagon failed to cross the river, on their way home from Newberry; for the very ex eellent reason that the flat wvas locked. Messrs. Oxner and Moorimain do not stand in the same friendly relation into which we have brought their names in this senltence(. That's chapter two. Thei Co:imtv Commissioners came to the rescume wvith a prounciamlento re minding Mr. 0. of the terums of his contraict. Chapter three. It is not necessary for us to tell Mr. 0. that lie is in a fa~ir way to get no compensation. Chapter four. The Factory. Mr. Green. mill engineer, of Provi dece. R. I., was in town from laist Saturday until Tunesday, on business relating to the factory. We had the pleasur~e of seeing a dIrawing of the front (side) elevation of the building. The building will be 204 by 100 feet, and wvill he three stories high; the first andl secondl stories 15 feet each, and the third 101 feet high. The looms will be on tihe first floor: the cards, on the second; and the spindles, on the third. The side facing the railroad will contain three rows of large win dows, fifty-two in all, and two doors. The building, as showii by the draw ing, will present a very line appear ance. The contracts for building. &c., will be let, as soon ais the planus and speci lIenions are furnished. We understandl that the directors are ready to receive offers for furnish ing the mnaterial for floors. Liberty Hall Notes. LIEERTY lA LL, May 29th, 1883 We are as dry as a powder house.

Mr. Kreps is at Lex ington where he has accepted a call; Mr. Sheppard is at his father's at iel ena ; and Mr. Bowers is near Pomnaria. The most reliable, carefully prepared and best purgative of the present age is BItANDRETH'S PILLS. They are compounded of Roots, Herbs aunl Gums of the most healing and beneficial kind. As a Family Medicine they are unrivalled, curing Head-ache, Constipation, Liver Com plaint, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia - clearing the blood of all impurities-acting on the Liver, Kidneys and other important organs, removing the waste tissue, and adding years to the lives of all who use them. For fifty years they have been used by the American public,. and their constantly in creasing sales show how they are appreciated. A Perfect Remedy in 20 Diseases. ASnPIELD, MLss. I am verging on eighty years, and deem it my duty to suffering humanity to say that my long life is due to BRANDRETH'S PILLs which have been my sole medicine for half a century. I know the last forty-three years of my life is owing solely to their use. Your PILLS saved me many times after the best medical skill in several States had given me up as hopeless. I have had many converts to purgation with BRANDRETH's PILLS, and have seen them perform almost miracles of cure. For children, a few doses have cured measles, searlet fever, and whooping cough. In all female troubles and weakness I have never known them to fail. In adult males I have known them to cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney diseases, dvs entry and diarrha; even dropsy, paralysis, and apoplexy have yielded to a persistent course of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. In fact I have found them the true Life Elixir. They act as continual preventives against the effects of time, disease, and labor. JOlIN II. MANN.

In addition to the above, we atdd a suggestion to our sister- County of Abbeville, the birth place of the great and gifted Calhoun. This is that no more fitting tr-ibtute to the dleadl states man coldd possibly be rendleredl, than to have this distinguished artist painit his portrait be hung in some conspicious hall to the admiring gaze of tihe public.

On Friday morning last the proprie tor of the HERALD issued gilt edged cards of invitation to his friends, to meet at the office at 8.30, sharp. This was done in honor of the completion of the annex to the building in which the HERALD, and its fine class of Job work is printed, and the response was gratifyingly large. The office. in fact, was filled, seats being arranged down the main aisle, between the composi tors' stands, around the imposing stoie, and ii every nook and corner where a chair, stool, or box, could be insinuated. The large imposing stone served appropriately as the table upon which were spread the refreshments. All being comfortably and quietly seated, the beautiful goblets-kinudly loaned for the occasion, by 31r W. T. '1'arrant--were filled and passeto each guest. The objeet of the meeting be ing asked by the chairman. Mr. T. S. .Ioorman. the proprietor arose. and in tre mulous tones, stated that he was in a fin:ncial strait. superinduce"d by the great expense of building the annex, and that he had adopted the idea of calling the wealthy and Influential cit izens together. and appealing to their I sympathy for aid. The explanation had a dampening effect for a moment, involuntarily however, a large number of hands sought pockets. while a few seemed ready to render assistance to the embarrassed proprietor, with his elephantine annex. It took another moment only to show that the proprie tor had perpetrated a dry joke, and as the company were pretty dry by this time. they sipped from their glasses, and then commenced a delightful sea son of generous sentiment, a feast of reason and a flow of soul, the proprie tor and his pet, the lIERALD, receiving many compliments and earnest wishes for its prosperity andeontinued success, Short and witty speeches were made by Messrs. T. S. Moorman, Silas John stone, W. II. Hunt, Revs. Stuart and Holland, and J. 0. Peoples, L. Sim kins, C. H. Suber. N. B. Mazyck, Dr. S. Pope, G. G. Sale, D. 0. Herbert, J. K. Goggans, R. W. Boone, andI W. T. Tarrant, even our faithful colored attache, Hart Cald well, who for ten years has turned the wheel which grinds out the news, put a spoke in the convivial wheel. Sun dry responses were made by the grati tied proprietor. If the HERALD reali zes one hundreth part of the kind wish es expressed on this occasion, it will spread into the proportions of the Green Bay Tree. The whole affair was replete with happiness,every one enjoy ing it, the only regret being felt by the proprietor that in the hurried manner in which the cards were issued some good friends were overlooked. Similar entertainments will annually be given, when no friend will be overlooked, A Sniffles Reminiscence. It was in the delicious month of Ap ril, 1862, that the old 13th Regt., S. C. V., under command of the gallant Ed wards was stationed at Green Pond in this State. The boys were hungry to I be led into the deadly breech--and for rat ions. Soldier:s are proverbially hun gry. Co. D. particularly so, and no wonder they were hungry, for rations were tantalizingly short, and they had nothing to do but think of imaginary feasts. Capt. Hunt hearing of a comt fortable farmer, not far oft, whose store houses were running over, and who was reputedl, strange to say, to be filled with benevolence to the Confed erate with mUoney~ in his pce,detail ed Private Sp:rks and myself, with at two horse wagon to go for him, and we went. S. dIrove. An early start was made, the morning air delicious, andi freighted with the scent of the yellow jessamine which clambered in p>rofusion over tree and shrub in ev.ery direction. We two became confiden tial, we spoke of love's young dream, a subject as dear to a Confederate heart as rations to his stomach. In this way we journeyed, tilled with past bliss, and the hope of something ro eat, be fore night spreadl her sable mantle over nature's loveliness, and enveloped two weary, hungry soldiers in gloom. At length but long before it was looked for, the house, of which a description had been furnished us, appearedl in sighmt. The approach to the honse was thriough a long avenue, dheeply shaded, it was a restful, hopeful place, visions of cookeries floated before our mental vison,e fet h generous biscuit duing pie. following each other downi our throats, and meandering about seeking app)rop)riate space in .the spa cious void below. I suggested to my companion, as my coat had less grease sp)ots thian his own, and furthermore had more buttons, and I could bet ter hide the soiled linen, which was dis playedl by both, that lie remain to mind the team while I wvent in to reconnoi ter. With elastic step I neared the house, ascended the steps, and saw a charming woman tripping lightly thro' the spacious passage. There has ever been an atlinity between Ine and wo man, we therefore lessened the space between us, we dIrew closer, her bright, penetratinig eye quickly discovered in the greasy soldier, tihe immiortal, long lost Sniffles, who though lost to sight, to memory was still dear. I pass over the exstatic joy of that meeting. Tfhe last time I saw lier she was a little teii year old girl, in the rose bud period, and now a charmingly developed,ifull blown rose of a woman. The thought of that meeting comes over me nowv with a deliciousness which requires too many words to express, is it any wvon der then, that as she led me gracefully into the parlor, I forgot Sparks and the wagon. In the parlor were other girls, and it being spring time, they were lovely in muslin and ribbon. My heart melted, my eyes suffused, my stomach had long since collapsed. I asked for music. and got "Polly put the kettle on," anid "Uncle Ned," and when they came to "lhe had to let the corn cake be," the girls saw that I was overcome with eniotion, not knowing that it was produced from hunger, and their allusions to tea and corn cake. The character of the music was chang ed. I revived, minutes flew on golden wings, they grew into hours. The uin mistakable souinds which precede the approach of dinner, struck my tympa num, madle b)y the rattle of knives and forks, the clatter of plates, followed b)y savory smells of roast, boil and fry. I[felt trainsported, I floated through the seventh heaven. I thought of woman as at ministering angel, and all this time Sparks was out in the sun, the vi till spark miay have lied, while I wvas sparkiing inside, under the combined influence of woman, muslin, andi sweet smells. The dinner bell sounded, and it seemed like the soft peals of a con vent chime, I could not resist it, I was always susceptible, and easily led--to dinner. Going in I found Sparks en tering b)y a side dloor, the farmer had rescued himi from an untimely death, and brought him in. He sparkled with delight, the dininer was before us, there was no time for recriminiation, we ate and were thankful. After dinner the w'agon was loaded, paid for with an I. O . U., a little more music, tender adieux, and back to camp we went. I have since met that lady, but alas, my friend Sparks yielded up his ticket of life o, the batr1e field Various and all About. The editors of Newberry-all fine fellows. The papers they get out. are incom parable. We must fear that spring oats will prove a failure. Everything done in Newberry is in first class style, eve, to her fires. As bait for cat a, grasshoppers can't be beat. The colored people have a skating rink at Georgetown. Wheat is turning and is ready for the reaper, but the crop will be short. Mr. T. S. Duncan has the finest field of oats that it has been our pleasure to see. If wheat were the only article short we might survive it, but unfortunate ly money is also short. Sniffles was unequally yoked on Thursday last. His companion had the advantage of him in weight. Gen. Pope has obtained an order from the U. S. Court, restraining the sale of the Chick property. Somebody took a free ride on Mr. Latimer Lon-'s mule Saturday night, and left it atir. Mike Buzzard's. The HERALD Book Store has spreads its banner to the breeze. All kinds of stationery kept on hand. Another man in this County has found that it is not wise .to salt the dough that you feed to chickens. We give notice in time that there will be a barbecue at Rikard's Spring on the 4th of July. Don't forget it. Our next session of Court will meet on the 9th of July, just 34 day from next Tuesday-Judge Kershaw pre siding. The senior and junior editors both went fishing last week, the first to Herbert's Mill pond, the other to Broad River, they caught right smartly. Brazleman's Bridge has been finish ed and received; and the County Coi missioners have paid $800 on it, leav ing a balance of $600. Everybody should get one of Mr. Thos. Lake's maps of the County. They are good maps-undoubtedly the best of our County in existence. Too many pie nics, it is impossible for us to attend them all, without se riously neglecting business. We ask pardon for being unable to attend. Those who had the fortune to attend the school pic nics last Friday, pro nounced them "very pleasant affairs." That was what everybody expected. Since the adjournment of Congress, Senator Hampton has killed no fewer than nine bears, and numerous small er game on his Mississippi plantation. Dr. John Harmon says that if the person who found his valise will re turn the papers it contained, he may keep all else, including the flask of whiskey. The twenty-fifth annual catalogue of the Sayre Female Institute of Lexing ton. Ky., for 82-83, is on our table, it indicates the Institute to be in a flour ishing condition. Messrs. Walter Hunt and Mord Foot were examined before the Supreme Court, on Tuesday, and admitted to the bair. That makes about 30 for Newberry. Reports from various parts of the State, say that the crops have been very seriously~ injured by the cool, dry, windy weather. The out-look at pres ent is far from being cheering. Job Printing in all varieties neatly executed at the HERALD office. Our facilities are unsurpassed, and our stock of fancy cards, paper and envel opes will compare with any other of fice. Mr. E. H. Aull and family have mov edl into the house near Mr. Cline's, re cently occupied by Mr. Hamp. Harris. Mr. Aull expects to build on the lot which he bought from Mr. Cline, as soon as he can make the arrangements. Mr. Sid Cunningham bought a self steering traction engine from Mr. WV. T. Gaillard last week, and he will go into the lumber business for a while. The engine propelled itself home, and went up andi down hill "beautifully." Mr. Jackson has been engaged in opening a new street from the mar ket across to the street in front of Mr. Coppock's residence. The work will be completed as soon as arrangements can be made for a way through Mrs. Bradley's place. Last Saturday Mr. W. P. Johnston's mule was frightened by the slamming of a door, and breaking from a negro boy in whose care it had been left, dashedl down the street, with a top buggy. Fortunately the flight was ar rested before any damage was done. The name of the postoffice at Mar tin's, Laurenis County, has been chang ed to "Goldville," the reason being that there is another Martin's in the State. The change will take effect the first of July. Address your mail ac cordingly. "Goldville" not Leadville. A crowd gathered to see Mr. F. A. Schumnpert reap his patch of oats Tues (ay afternoon. The reaper and bin der worked like a charm, and the oats were bundled in a jiffy. We think the bundles rather large, but we have no idea that the mules and horses will re gard this as a serious objection. Mr. Forbes, the agent of the LaFrance Fire Engine Co., has been in town several days waiting for the engine that was shipped some three weeks ago; the reel and hose have arrived; and the engineer has come; but no engine yet. We have known fire~ engines to destroy an immense amount of property-by being behind time. The total value of the real estate in the town of Newberry, as assessed for taxation this year, is $679,620, against $685,495 for last year. This falling off, $5,875, was caused by the loss of prop erty in the fires that have visited our town in the last year. And it shows that. however much fies may benefit individuals who carry heavy policies of insurance, they do not benefit the tax payers of the town. Remember that "The Blind Man Eloquent" wvill lecture in the Opera House next Monday and Tuesday eve nings. The subject of Monday's lec ture is. "Sargent S. Prentiss, Amern cas Most Eloquent Orator, and the Flush Times of Mississippi." If you have never heard genuine eloquence, go to the lecture ; if you have heard it, persuasion is unnecessary, you will not miss this opportunity of hearing again. The corner stone of Mr. Scholtz's dwelling house was laid Tuesday morning, with appropriate ceremonies. Two small boxes were deposited with the stoiie, containing copies of the HERALD, Obserrer, News and Lutheran Visior; the names of the mayor and aldermen; a manuscript giving names of the architect and contractors, per son for wvhom built, price,--and birth places of Mr. and Mrs. Scholtz; a price among which was one of the new five cent pieces.
