WANTBD PROTBCTION. Vegre From Sidney Mayer's Said His Life I Was in Danger---Is in Jail for Protection. Warren Duncan, colored, from :Sidnev Mayer's place, in Township I -No. 6, caine to Newberry early i 'Tuesday morning and asked Sheriff I Buford to place him in jail in order , that his life might be protected. i He said that lie was at a "wake" I Monday night, and the negroes had 1 told him there was a crowd of white ( men at his home who were going to f 'kill him. Tuesday morning he -came to Newberry, and at his re- t quest Sheriff Buford placed him in I Jail. C It will be remembered that the 1 barn and stables, including live -stock, wagon. buggy, food, etc., r 'the property of Mr. Sidney Mayer, t were burned on Friday night of s last week. This fire, which is t believed to have been of incendiary I -origin, was the last in a long list of c burnings in that immediate com- a 1munity. The people of the coni- s anunity were naturally very much p wrought up over the matter. a Whether or not there was any a crowd at Warren Duncan's home t on Monday night in connection with this matter is not known, but it ti seems anyway that he got the im- ii ,pression that the white men of the g community had connected him with b the burning, and that his life was in % danger. Duncan denies emphatically any ,connection whatever with the burn tng on last Friday night. t THE SESSIONS COURT.

Recital to Be Held Monday Night, November 2nd. The erection of the pipe organ in tle Lutheran Church ot the Re deemer during the past week has been an event of great interest to the people of Newberry, and many have visited fhe church to see the work, which was completed last evening by Mr. Joseph Leisch. All have been received courteously by Mr. Leisch, who is not only one of the best pipe organ experts in the world, but also a most obliging gen tleman. After correspondence with many pipe organ builders and consulta tions with specialists and organists, the contract' was given to M. P. Moller, of Hagerstown, Maryland, and would have been completed by the specified time, September 1st, had not a strike, ordered by the j Organ Builder's Association, de layed the work. Mr. Moller's in structions to his workmen were to put their best work on this organ, and no better instrument of its size has ever come from the factory. Mr. Moller is himself a Lutheran, c an active member of the Hagers- c town church and was a delegate from the Maryland Synod to the General Synod at its last conven tion. . The organ is in fact two organs, the Swell organ above the Great or gall. The Great organ contains the following pipes: 8 foot Open Diapa- c son, metal 61 pipes; 8 foot Dulci- a ana, metal 61 pipes; 8 foot Melodia, c wood 61 pipes; 8 foot Doppel Floete, wood 49 pipes; 4 foot Flute t D'Amour, wood and metal 61 pipes; t 4 Principal, metal 61 pipes; 2 foot Piccolo, metal 6i pipes. The Swe!l organ contains the following pipes: 8 foot Violin Diapason, metal 61 pipes; 8 foot Stopped Diapason wood 61 pipes; 8 foot Aeolina, metal 61 pipes; 4 foot Flaute Tra verso, wood 61 pipes; 2 foot Flau- I tino, metal 61 pipes; 8 foot Oboe c Gamba, metal 49 pipes. 'I be Pedal d organ contains the following pipes: f 16 food Bourdon, wood 30 pipes; I 16 foot Lieblich Gedacht, wood 30 notes. f The three organs have together i 21 steps, 30 notes and 799 Pipes c with six pedal movements. It will be run by a water motor of latest and most improved construction, and will consume little miore than a barrel of water at a service. It is almost the invariable custom to instal such an organ with a re cital, that all interested may haver the opportunity to hear and enjoyf the power, scope and beauty of itst music. How best to arrange fori this was the problem fronting tihe organ committee. Should the doors be thrown open to tihe general pub-] lic? The crowd might be so great] that members of the church would1 be excluded. Should thle memibers of the congregation alone he admit- t ted ? That would be selfish. Should the miemlbers of the congregation and1( a selected number of their friends be invited? Sonme might thus he overlooked. It was finally decided b)y the comnmlittee with tilej consent of the Church Council and Diaconate to put the admission oni a financial basis. No money will he received at the chu trch door, b)ut i tickets may be purchiasedl from the organ committee for fifty cents for adults and twenlty- five cents for children. IEvery mlember of the congrega tionl will be admnitted comning either with or without a ticket, and it is hoped that every mnembler who can poss5ibly be p)resent will attendo. Professor Charles R. Fisher, Mus D)., of the Presbyterian College, Charlotte, N. C. has kindly con sented to visit Newberry and give this recital next Monday niight. Dr. Fishier is a mualn g-riadut of Leeds University and also of other European institutions. He received the title of Doctor of Music from Trinity University, Toronto. This is a title held by very few musicians in America. Of Dr Fisher's art in bringing out all the possibilities of a pipe organ too much could scarcely be said. The organ committee is composed Af Prof. W. K. Sligh, Chas. E. 3unimer, Prof. S. L. Powell, Dr. f. M. Kibler, W. P. Houseal, and Rev. W. L. Seabrook.

The first cost of an article dloes not accessarily determine its cheapness. l"or mnstance, a sack of "'Clifton'' flour may cost you a little mlore than other io-called p)atent flours, hut it wvill be cheaper to you in the endl. Why? Be" 2ause it will not only make more bread to the sack, but will take less lardl and loda to make it. Order a sack of "Clif ton" and make a test for yourself. It. will prove the truth of this statement THE COTTON MARKET. What the Fleecy Staple Was Bringing Yesterday Afternoon in the Various Portions of the County. Newberry.
