* The Herald and News Heading
Appears at last. We hope it will
please the eye of the reader. We take
this occasion to thank our friends and
the entire State Piess for the many
kind and coinplinientary words they
have seen fit to give us. The Newberry

relations now existing may we strive
to cement and make lasting.
$10,000 Damages.
Hor.ice Edwin Bruee, a merchant of
Colu;nbia, is being sued for $10.' 00
a mge.. by W. B. McDaniel, for slan
!eriu; th.. good nam. of his wife.
Mr. McDaniel has since stied Albert

Mrs. McDaniel's character.
Not Credited.
Our worthy friend and brother, Me
Sweeny, ia excused for oversght in

for the~ over.ight we suppose is that
his rockets are so filled with candi

Selentifie Agriculture.
In our agricultural column appears
a piece ot how to cushion baby car
ri:iges. How the printer got it th'-re
we are at a loss to undeistand. The
-only way we can account for it Is, lie
mvts have been thinking of farm, gar
dea and hou<ehold. and was led away
byv the refi action that "a matrhnonial
frulit-bas5ket" is a necessary adjunet.
An-I every farmer knows that eradles
are indispensible in the harvesting of
a crop.
A Negro Shoots Another.
L'tt Friday evening a diffienlty oc
eurred between Johnu Cannon, living
on Mr. Henry Koon's Kinard place,
a id IIentz Slighi. who lives on Mr. T.
B3. Chialmers' place. From what we
are told by a gentleman who knows
the3 parties it appears that Cannon's
wIfe was away from hiome on his re
turn fromn Newbarry and h-e met her
at Sligh's house, when he somewhat
cha<tised lhen. Sigh told hIm he was
taking the law ini his own hands, and
a diffienty then occurred between the
two men, in which Cannon got the
worst of it. Cannon thereupon left,
but returned with a gun and shot
Sligh in the knee. The wounded man
is doing well.
Pardoned.
Robert Gallman, a younig negro
about et vears old, was convicted of
fornication at the last March term of

tence,l by Judge Fraser to imprison
ment in the penitentiary for amonths.
He has been pardoned by Governor
Thompson. after having served four
months of his sentence. The petition
for his pardon was signed by leading
citizens of Newberry. including sev
eral of the county offisers, as lie was
convicted upon the testimony of a wo
man of bad character, and it also hav
ing be2n proved at his trial that Gall
nun's charaeter was more than ordi

nomineea of the party and annouimeing
the time for the second primary elec

A Salutatory.
With the advent of our new heading
the lo(al thinks it an appropriate time
to utttr a few words, or forever here
after1iold his peace. What we have
joined together let no man put asun
der. Men, women and children desire
something new under the sun. They
require it, and inquire for it, and some
acquire the habit so strongly they per
spire in their ef'orts to be first ii find
i<ig out what tr:mnpires. The public
appetite continually craves something
new. The uewspli.er editor must dig
deep or die. The public appetite is a
big thing. It is insatiable, unquench
able, never-ying. Bit we will dig
around in the junrnalistic pasturres
green and try to find something before
everybody else finds it out. And as
variety is the spice of life and brevity
the soul of wit, and originality about
the newest thing under the sun, we
will try too to be brief, original and
".various."
Much Milk.
T he American Agriculturist furnishes
an account of a Holstein cow, now
dead, which gave one hundred and
three and one qu:irter pounds of milk
in one day-or thirteen gallons. Of
another, the "Crown Jewel," pure
blue blood of Holland, which gave
seventy pounds of milk per day for
one month; thirty-four quarts, or eight
gallons. She made nineteen pounds
of butter in one week. Wonderful
cows, truly.
Next Generation.
We dislike to publish the following,
but think it only fair that the girls of
the next generation should know how
the thing is going to work. The girls
of the present period are all right :
A Philadelphia magazine makes the
statement that marriage is on the de
erease, and it predicts that every twen
tieth gil of the next generation will
be obliged to live an old maid.
Just One Minute.
There has been a slight change,
very slight for this station, in the
schedule of the C. & G. R. R. The.
train from Columbia passes Newberry
at 2-51 p. mi.-one minute earlier than
before the laist change. Railroad men
are minute men, and railroad.e, like
time and tide, wait for no mani. So
make a niote of this f::et, for many a
main ha~s b- ein just one minute too late.
and you. reader, may sonic day fail to
make connection and-I-thien you'll be
left. We are right now.
Another $10,000 Damages.
The Columbia 1?egister says that Col.
R. C. Watts of Lau:rens states that
papers have been tiled in the office of
the Clerk of the Court of Laurens
County, in the case of Martha Eliza
Burdett against Wim. H. Pool, a prom
inient grocery merchaint of Laurens
yille, in whlich th~e plaintifY charges se
duction tinder promise of miarr'age,
anid claims damages to the aiouiit of
8 0,0 .0. The plain tif1f has recenitly
become a mother. Sue is represented
by Messrs. Ball & Watts. The ese
h?ms excite,] deep initerest, atnd Col.
Watts says will be a lively trial.
Some Snakes.
Rev. A. J. Stokes, of pleasant New
berry memory, has been doing the
State as well as the Chui:ch good ser
vicer. As Presiding Elder of the Sum
ter Distrier, and wvhile oin his rotunds,
he killed a huge moceasin, a pot inor
tern examination of the monster bring
ing to light forty young moeeasins,
each abont seven inches in len:Shil.
They were enclosed in separate sacks,
showing that all snakes do not propa
gate by egga. We have heard of a
chariot drawno by forty grey horses,
but never of forty young snakes in
this way. Neverthe*less we do not
dloubt the story i.m the least.
Is She Wild?
Last Friday oi.e of thme laborers on
Judge J. B. Fellers' pihtee, four miles
from town, saiw a white wvoman, ap
parently about 4' years old, hanging
out her clothes to dey on some btishes
in oiie of the fields. IIe could get no
satisfaction from her. In answer to
his question she Informed him that she
was not lost. It was very evident that
she was a stranger to those parts.
The man left her to consult with oth
ers. On returning, it was found that
she had gone, but not far, as she was
seen sitting near a drain, eating. She
was agaIn left to her solitude, with
nono to molest or make her afrali as
she enjoyed her frugal meal, and
Judge Fellers was informed of the
state of affairs, and his legal counsel
asked as to a settlement of the diffi
culty, 'rhe Judge didn't thInk It ne
cessary to take out letters on her es
tale, said that she must be made to go
--not stand on the order of her going
but go at once-If she didn't make the
object of her visit clearly and satisfac
torily known, But when the messa ge
got there the stranger had gone. Shbe
was next heard froni at Mrs. Elizabeth
Gallman's, asking for'-something to
eat. She told them she knew some
body lived there because she saw the
hou'e, Late that afternoon ehe wvent
into a grove near by, swvept a-place
clean, and laid down and slept ithere
all night. The next mornIing she
stopped at Mrs. ElIzabeth Reedia for
a cup of coffee and some bread.
We have heard nothing of her since.

The Hon. J. A. Slighl, who has been
nominated for the Senate, is a man of
more than average strengfh. At the
call of his friends he became a e:mldi
date for the House and was elected to
this position. where he exerted a coin
manding influence in favor of tempe
rance and reform. Again he has been
nominated after a hotly contested ca:
vase. Mr. Sligh has served in the po
litical arena without reproach, and
will command the respect of all who
know him. During the past twenty
years lie has filled the pulpit of St.
Paul's Lutheran Church in this vicin
;ity. He has also conducted one of the
best farms in this section. Among
other positions of tru-t he tills that of
president for the board of Newberry
College. Men differ here on many
points ; but there is a gratifying agree

Senate. Mr. Sligh is a strong man, of
sterling worth and commanding inlin

Red Hair, Mosquitoes and Bustles.
The local editor of the HERALD AND
NEWS stauied out to pick up items.
Editorial matter and selections aind
clippings he was not after. He was in
search of original, pungent paragraphs
for the people-local news, for locals
they must have, whether anything
happens or not. The Asiatic cholera
may raige and spread, and investiga
tions prove that the Arctic explorers
ate the flesh of the dead ; France may
put on her wvar paint and pull China's
big pig-tail and make the heathen rage
all samee like Melican m.n ; the anti
Jewish riots may continue in Yeka
tarinosto, Southern Russia, and at
tempts be made to seal up the German
colony at Angra Pequena, in A frica;
the relief of Khartoum may perplex
and worry others besides the inhabi
tants of Wady HaIfa and Suakimn and
Keah and Kasseir and so forth;
plague, pestilence and famine, battle
and murder may range from the gilded
palaces and Orient al splendour of the
East to the dark jnngles and dirty
mud hovels of the far West, where for
long, lost centuries the star of empire
has been taking its course; slander
and scandal may continue to be the
leading question in the Presidential
race and Ben Butler try to get his re
venge in Cleveland's defeat ; anti-pro
hibition may swell one-half of the
country and spirits dwell in the other,
n hile baseball and gnats predomrinate
in Newberry, and the heat be strong
enough to run the phosphate royalty
throagh the State University into the
Columbia Canal; the big injun may
whoop and dance on the wild prairie
and k!ck up as much noise as the
boys who voted for Sligh, Pope, Schum
pert and Hardy ; the telegraph and
cable may continue dlaily to send the
electric fiash of intelligence and flood
the countries with news, circling the
hemispheres, as to wvhat is transpim ing ;
sixty-seven persons may die each1min
ute, while seventy are born, according
to a European newspaper's calcula
tion ; the earth may quake and oceans
roar and stars and planets etigage the
astronomer's eye ; all this and more,
may go on from day to day, but local
news must be found. Bitt what has
thisg to do with red hair, mosquitoes
and bustles? Nothing, only, as said
before, we started out local hunting,
and found game scarne. There was a
lumlt in the streets, with an occasional
lullaby in the houses. Not a leaf
stirred; you know the balance--but
that is old. Well, knowing the ave
rage Newberrian's desire for news, not
manufactured but genuine, we fanned
the dad-blamed gnats away, wiped the
perspiration from our face, pulled our
vest away from our suspenders and
did the saLme tihing over again. How
ever, wve succeeded In picking up a few
dots, caught on the fly here and there,
which can be found in other column;.
On our return we came across the in
formation that natural red hair is
worth from 818 to $20 per ounce ; that
a mosquito always kisses a pret ty girl
before he bites her ; and that a married
lady heard a young lady say she had eve
ry newspaper in the State in her bustle
except the Christian Adrocate, and
when she got idle she just reached
back and pulled out a paper to while
away the time.

selfishness.
Selfishness Is one of the ugliest
traits of character. It Is a pity that so
much of It is seen. We would rather
be as poor as Job's turkey and be gen
arous and kind, than be rich as Cresus
tnd selfish and unkind. A selfish cha
aeater Is despised- by all 'good men,
socially, morally or financially. He
:hinks only of himself, nothing of
neighbor or friend ; he accepts all
kinds of favors and returns none. He
sares not If you are well or sIck, for
whlat matters It If he is well, and his
itomach Is full? This Is all he cares
nr thinks about. His house is not ded
icated wIth the beautiful motto,. "Wel
some to All," simply because you are
not welcome. He would rather have
your room tIhan your company. Save
as from a selfish man. He is a.blot on
the earth, and Is not liked in lis neigh
borhood; In short, he Is unwhiolesome,
eind smells bad, and when he dies he
will be laid away unlamented and for
gotten. We have no use for a seltioh
man.
Peterson's Magazine
For September opens with a per
fectly Idyllic steel-engraving. "In
Arcadia; 'Guess Who It I.-?'" The
double-sized fashion-plate is also from
steel, colored by hand. Mrs. Lucy H.
Hooper is "Peterson's" fashion cor
respondent in. Paris: the only on~e, we
believe, who keeps a correspoident
there, hence the fasbions are always
the latest and most stylish. The Ktories
In this number are unusually good,
even for "Peterson," andl range from
love stories like "Lord Avalhon" to
comic ones like "Juba at the Wake,"
and tragic ones like"Greole Blossoms."
Hlow sneh a magazine can be supplied
for only two dollars a year, and mnuch
less to clubs, is a miracle ; we can onily
explain it by its enormous circulation.
Specimens are sent gratis to get up
