POPE PROPERTY SELECTED. The Trustees of the Graded Sch< Purchase Pope Property for $12. 500 Including Pope Residence. The board of trustees of the Ne berry graded school in connecti with the citizens' advisory commit at a meeting held on Tuesday aft noon closed a trade for the Y. J. Pc property at $12,500 for two and thr fourth acres including the residene The portion selected fronts 'Speers street, directly in front of t end of Caldwell street, 230 feet. A new street has been opened the east side of this property 50 fo wide and the lot fronts on that str< 485 feet. In the rear of the lot i other new street. is opened 50 ft wide, and on the west side of the : another street 50 feet wide is opent making the lot entirely surrounded good broad streets. The depth on the wst "side is 4 feet. On the north side the lot me, ures 273 and from the new street this side another new street 50 f wide has been opened, leading ir Chapman street. Another new str( 50 feet wide is opened from Colle street, also, directly in front of t Pope residence running along the si of the lot on which Mr. F. H. Don nick is now building. Measuring from Speers street t distance to the Pope residence is 3 feet which gives ample room to bui the new graded school building, fror ing on Speers street and on the i street on the east side of the lot. No action has yet been taken 1 the trustees in the adoption of t plans and specifications for the i modeling of the Pope residence for the location of the new buildir It is probable, 1however, that the Po residence will be remodeled and equi ed for use by the high school depai nent and that the graded school pro er will be in the new building to erected, and in connection with t' 1ew building will be the auditoriu which can be used by both the hi, echool and the graded school pupils. The Pope residence, we understan has about 16 rooms and the found ion walls are of granite about thr feet in thickness and much more su stantially built than would be erect' f it were put up at this time. Altogether this selection by t oard, we believe, will give genex atisfaction to the people of the coi nunity. GRADED SCHOOL. 1osing Exercises Tonight-Addre by Prof. D. W. Daniel of Clem son College.

Boozer, One of the Old Citizens Passes Away-Over Three Score Years and Ten. r Again death has visited this con iunity and the angels have borne on - their snowy pinions to the land of eternal rest the soul of one of New s berry's purest and most upright citi . zens. I Mr. Samuel Pre-sley Boozer was , born September 6, 1834, near Smyrna church in this county and peacefully i died on last Tuesday at 12:40 p. In., 1 June 1, 1909, at tihe home of his , daughter, Mrs. J. L. Bowles. of this . Ct. 4 t Mr. Boozer had passed three score a years and ten and was nearing his seventy-fifth year. when lie heard the t Master's call and went home to be - foreer with the Lord. s He was tile son -of Mr. George B. - Boozer and Mrs. Sallie Wilson Booz 1 er, being of Dutch descent on his 5 father's side and on his mother's s Scoteh-Irish. Of his immediate fam i ily there now remains only one broth - er, Mr. Henry D. Boozer, also of this county. - In 1856 M-r. Boozer was married to Miss Tilla Montgomery, daughters of Rev. James Montgomery, pastor of 3 the Presbyterian church of this place, at thi time of his daughter's mar 1 .riage. This union continued for 47 - years or until October. 1903, six yea,rs - ago, when death -took his beloved wife from him. So great was his devotion L to his wi'fe that he could not speak i of her death without sheddin gtears. 3 From this union were born eleven I children, six of whom are still living: Mrs. J. L. Bowles, Mrs. R. D. Smith, Miss Ethel Boozer, of this city; Mrs. 0. E. Johnson, of Charleston; Mrs. J. H. Hollingsworth, of Augusta; and; .Mrs. F. Steele. of Statesville, N. C. i All of ,the children except one were at the bedside of their father to ren der loving service to him in his last moments. L Mr. Boozer was a true man in ev ery sense. He was faithful to every call of duty. When the war between! the States broke out he espoused the cause of the Confederacy and was a member of the 13th South Carolina regiment, and was in active service for six months when ill health forced him to retire from the army. He was: honorably discharged and given dui ties at home. While in the active ser vice only six months he served the in -terest through the entire war. After the war -he entered the hard ware business and continued in it for years, being always one of the town's most progressive citizens. Again ill; health interfered and he was compell ed to take lighter work. He then took up fire insurance and engaged in this business until a few moriths ago when frail health and infirmitis of years! were tihe cause of his retirement from! business. Apart- from hi.s illness which ended 'n his death he passed the last few months of his life in rest and quietness. He was an upright and patriotic citizen, a true and -devoted 'husband, a tender and affectionate father, a kind and loyal friend, and above all: a zealous .and consecrated Christian. He joined the Smyrna Presbyterian; church in his boyhood and was faith ful in the service of his Master ever, afterwards. He was made an elder in the chureh at this place in 1867, and was active and zealous in this offiee until his death, serving this church well as an elder for 42 years. In the last few days of his illness. he -suffered much and knew that the end was near and rejoiced in that~ fact. He prayed that God would give him rest and his prayer was answer ed. His end was peaceful and he quietly fell asleep. The funeral service was lheld yes terday morning at the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. E. James. Burial was had at Rosemont immediately affr. BASBBALL SATURDAY. On West End Diamond Two Games With Watts Mill and Newberry -Teams.

CIVIC LEAGUE VISITS CLINTON J 2 Ladies Report a Nice Day and Pleas- ( ant Reception-New Impetus e For Work Here. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. G. Childs, president of the C., N. & z L. railroad. the eivie league. of New- t berry, was given a trip to Clinton. X The league's first object in accept- a ing this very kind and appreciated I offer of Mr. Childs was to see the r handsome new depot which he has t erected at that place, and the grounds c of which he has so beautified with the 'e assistance of -the civic league. h One of the party in speaking of the c trip, said: e "The Newberry delegation was met t at the station by a delegation from i. the Clinton league, whose guests they v were during the day. After reaching a the station grounds the Newberry la dies stopped first to admire the grav- a elled walks and beds - of grass and -t palms. It is ind-eed a model depot a for any place. After an inspection of J; these grounds the party was given a c drive over the modern and progres- ( sive little city. The first thing to at- t tract the attention and call forth ad- I miration were the numerous and c handsome slgade trees. It is scarcely t worth while to state in this connee- t tion, but some may not be aware of it, U that it is essentially a part of the v work of the civic league to preserve these trees, regardless even of the wires. This spirit seems to be grow ing for on this trip was seen farmers planting cotton in a field in the midst of which stood three beautiful water oaks. "The Thornwell Memorial, which is synonymous with the name of Clin ton, was the next place visited. A description of this grand institution C would fill volumes, standing as it does i as a monument to the name of one whom it is a delight to honor and the - way and manner in which it is kept; up is truly a tribute to the ability and energy of those who have it in charge. "The next place visited was the Presbyterian college with its two new and handsome modern buildings, then the $20,000 stone Presbyterian church which has just been completed. "Both of these will be lasting me- ' morials to the present generation, and the style of arehitecture and the beauty of the Iplace impress one very emch. The well kept cemetery with the keepers' house near by was also noted. "The Newberry delegation here jus-t had to stop and draw-a number' 'f comparisons. Why is it not pos sible for Newberrny to have a keeper for the cemetery here, and employ a keeper for the year and let it be nderstood that it is his duty at all times to keep the cemetery free' from weeds and change any neglected spots into well kept places? "There are a nmber of handsom-e homes, some quite recently built, which are surrounded by neatly kept ' awns. "The ladies were told that the Stephen D. Lee chapter has a nice* sum of money on hand towards the I retion of a Confederate monument on the public square at an early date. nidentally it will be of interest to 0 ote that the town is considering plans for the parking of this square. hey have long since removed all wagons and the wagon yard to an in onspicuous part of the town. Not a orse was seen hitched nor a wagon standing on the public square. They oral to learn from this is that park- I ng a publie square does not interfere with the commercial spirit of the own. "The hospitality of the ladies was meeedingly kind and the members of he party were invited to rest at dif ferent homes in the city, and later in he afternoon were honored with a reception at the ebarming honie of rs. Ellis. The whole lower floor; was thrown into one and decorated with a profusion of flowers and reens. "The ladies on the trip all join in' saying that the day was ideal and hat there was not a thing to mar the pleasure of the trip. Long will the earts of the ladies of Newberry be~ .lled with the pleasant memory of the hospitality shown them on this oc asion by the daughters of Clinton; and the members of the civic league here feel that they have gained newI ideas and have a new impetus plhced upon their work for a city beaut'ful and especially for improved station grounds and a parked public square. "The members of the civic league wish to thank Mr. Childs for the use ' of his private car, and Mr. E. H. t Aull, throligh whose solicitation ti.e C ar was obtained and Mr. T. T. Hanr- 6 ton. the official train master. and Mr. J John B. Ma.yes, whose thoughtfulness n and courtesy added much to the pleas- t ure of the day.'' t The following were the members of i ,the party: Mesdames L. W. Floyd, E.I M. Evans. S. B. Aull. P. G. Ellesor,; R. H. Wright, H. H. Abrams, S. J. Woote'n, Mamie Carwile, B. M. Den nie W G. Hou.seal. J. W. White, A. . Bow rs, Misses Eula Walker, Liz ;ie Doiinick, Maud Langford, Effie rritlin, ary Frances Cannon, Fran es House"al. Messrs. John B. Mayes, Zichard Foyd, and Robert Gist. Mr. Mayes Pleased With Clinton. Mr. John 'B. Mayes, who is always live to the 'progressiv-e spirit of any own or community. says that on his 'isit to Clinton Friday he was most greeably -tru(k with the wida-awake )ublic spirited, and up-to-date busi tess methods of the citizens of that own. He repor'ts that they have all f the modern 'equipments such as lectric lights, water works, etc., bat .e was most pleased with the large, ommodious stores 4nd the large and xcellent line of g ods -he fo in hem. He says th-,e tne of> ied by the merchants of Ch could reflect credit on the store much larger place He also remarked that the appe n1ee of the entirej place shows th he civic league has been at wor , nd he says there are many beautiful awns around the residences in the ity. Of course, he, was struck with linton 's beautiful depot, and it was hbough the kindness of Mr. T. T. lorton that the party lhad such a -ood time, and Mr. Horton did every hing he could to meet the wishes of he party and make up for Mr. Child's navoidable absence, which, of course Tas much regretted anyway.
