He is said to be a stout man, clean shaved, and fluent of speech. He had neither baggage nor samples. Clayton claimed to be traveling for a picture house. He wore a mustache. He is also a young man and, like his companion, had neither baggage nor samples. We further learn that these men so licited and received several subscrip tions to Harper's Bazaar, stating that, by a special arrangement, they were authorized to reduce the subscription price, $3, to $1. Helena Heraldings. The IIelena Sunday-school rarely fails to remember the Clinton Orphan age in an annual contribution. A few days ago. the secretary, Mr. Julien, sent its little free-will and votive offering Sl1).73. This amount, though not great, was given willingly ;moreover, the school has been reduced in the past few years by removals from the village. About forty zhildren have gone to make their homes elsewhere, and their places have not yet been supplied. We have alluded to this matter not for the purpose of parading it, but sim.~ply for the purpose of exciting in terest and sympathy in and with the noble institution so very near us, and which draws its maintenance, for sweet charity - sake, so largely from abroad. There are about one hundred orphans in the Clinton Orphanage, and it takes dollars by the thousand to feed, clothe, and shelter these little boys and girls; to light up and giewarmth to their rooms; and to supply them with books and stationary, etc., together with medicines and medical atteution when needed. Mr. Jacobs is wedded to this work of love, and is making a beautiful home for the child ren-a home of refinement and culture and care, and likewise of earnest practicability. The discipline, education and training at the Orphan age prepares thoughtful, self-reliant, self-respecting and self-denying boys and girls for the battle of life. ITo further equip them as bread wmnners, Mr. Jacobs will erect a tech u'logical school in ad dition to the other buildings. The possibilities of tihe Clinton Or m.hanage are not limited. We hope the Eastertide offerings will be generous. H-owv sad it is to see the dlaily page of Iseli'-destruction.

On last Monday the executors of Jacob Singley, deceased, offered for sale and sold some real estate in New berry. The way that property sold was an eye-opener for some people, and yet it did not bring more than it is worth. for real estate in New berry is worth a good deal more than it was a few years ago. We are keeping up with the pro cession if we are not making as much noise as some other places. The corner store on Mollohon Row, now occupied by Summer Bros., was sold first, and was bought by Summer Bros. for 6,225. The one adjoining this one, and now occupied by 0. H. P. "ant & Sun, was also bought by Sum mer Bros. for $4,7:0, making nearly $11,000 for the two stores. The store on Pratt street, and at present occupied by Todd & Davenport, was also sold, and bought by C. Mower for $5,1*>. ANOTIIEIt DEAL. On the same day at private sale Mr. Jas. J. Lane bought the store on Pratt street, and now occupied by J. W. Kib ler & Co., from C. & G. S. Mower, pay ing $5,500J for it. Real estate, it will be seen, is not depreciating in value in Newberry. Railroad Racket. The new schedule on the C. & G. railroad by which the Anderson train will run through to Columbia will go into effect next Monday. The run from Columbia to Greenville will be made in six hours. The train leaves Column bia at 6.20 a. m. and arrives at G reen ville at 12.-0 p. in. It arrives at New berry at 8.03 a. m. Returning it leaves Greenville at 3 p. m. and arrives in Columbia at 9 p. in., passing Newberry at 7.16. This will be quite a conven ience to Newberry and the traveling public. It gives us too daily passenger trains between Columbia and Green ville, and will deliver the Columbia aily papers at Newberry at 8 o'clock >n the morning of publication. The report that the Laurens passenger train between Laurens and Columbia would be discontinued is incorrect. It will be run as heretofore. A new schedule will likely be put on the C. N. & L. R. R. between Colum bia and Clinton about the 15th of this month. Just what that schedule will be we are not informed, but there will probably be a morning train from Columbia making connection at Clin ton with the train on the G., C. & N. railroad going West. This train will pass Newberry about ten o'clock in-the morning. Railroad Commissioners Jervey and Thomas were at Newberry last Thurs lay. They inspected and received ten miles of the C. N. & L. R.

Bowers & Co., have instituted proceedings agaiIst the town of New-. berry to recover the $100) charged for license over and above the license last year. The case will be heardl before Trial Justice Mlay bin on next Monday. The plaintiffs are represented by John stone and Cromer, and the town by Geo. S. Mower, Esq. The council gave notice in an ordinance that the license for retailing liquor would be four hun dred dollars. On the night that the licenses were to be granted the council determined to raise the license to 350 and did raise it. All the harroms paid the additional $100, but claim to have paid under protest. The question now comes up on the legality of the action of council in raising the license. It in volves about $900 revenue to the town this year. The medical fraternity, hacked up by carefully compiled statistics, is almost a unit in declaring that a moderate use of stimulants conduces to long life.

This Lon;-Neglected Resting-Place of the Dead Cleared of Its Briars and Rubblish-An E"ort to Have It Properly Enclosed. Mr. Editor: 1 will ask those who have subscribed money to help in put ting a fence around the Quaker Urave yard, and have not banded it in, to please send it to ie at :topia, S. C.. or deposit it for ie at the -Newberry Bank, at their earliest convenience; and all those who are interested in the graveyard, and have not subscribed, to give us their aid in this important work, and send in the money at an early date. To some it may be necessary to make an explanation, as the question may arise: By what autherity do you do this? Some of us have for some time been trying to get this matter stirred up, but were unsuccessful until Major L. J. Jones, by much correspondence with sonie Friends (Quakers) of North Caro lina, had this matter (the neglected church property and graveyard) brought up before the Yearly Meeting of the Friends of North Carolina. Mr. E. E. Mendenlal, a committee of one, ac companied by Rev. Mr. Jones, was sent here to look after this property. I On December 1st a meeting was held in Major Jones' office and was very well attended by those interested in the graveyard. It wasdecided that a local trustee should be appointet to look after this property and see to clearing ffand fencing in the graveyard with rock posts and wire. I give the follow ing as copied from the minutes of the meeting taken by the Rev. Mr. Jones of North Carolina: "Walter I. Herbert was appointed by E. E. Mendenhall, committee of North Carolina Yearly Meeting, Trus tee of Bush River Friends church land xnd graveyard.'' It was decided that we try to get money from all interested to fence in he graveyard, as before stated, and to aieet soon and clear off the graveyard. Ihose who were present subscribed very liberally, and S;5.00 was subscribed :here. I have since received $12.00 rom some who were not present, which u all is a little over half of what it was alculated it would take to put up the ience. On Tuesday, December 2nd, some >f us met at the graveyard to have it urveyed and establish some lost cor aers. On Wednesday, December 3d, we met to clear off t he graveyard, which was a sight to behold, and I might say a disgrace to us who had so neglected the resting-place of our forefathers. It was a perfect wilderness-all grown up in briars, bushes of all kinds and even good sized trees, so that it was a difli eult matter for one to get through it. We did some good work there, and the place looks auite different. Now if you who are interested in it will only give me your aid I will put the graveyard in such a condition that you will no longer be ashamed to visit it. The more money you give me the better fence I will have put there; and as soon as possible after I receive mo ney suficient I will have the work lone. I thought of writing to every one in terested that I could hear of, but after finding that I would have to write scores of letters I have resorted to this plan of sending my message. I neglected to say that the titles of this property have, since the visit of these Friends, been transferred to the Friends Yearly Meeting of North Caro lina by the heirs of Judge O'Neall, in whose name the titles have been for a long time.

Railroad, going west, was derailed just beyond Bush River, about three mniles west of Newberry. Eight box cars were broken and thrown on both sides of tihe track comiplete wrecks.. The engine and eight cars next to it kept the track. The conductor's cab also kept the track. No one was in jured. The track was torn up for nearly 75 yards. The Anderson train was kept at Newberry. all day yesterday and the Col umnbia and Greenville passengers transferred at the wreck. Thbe track will be in condition for trains to pass over to-day. It is supposed that a broken rail caused the accident. The damage to the railroad will be considerable. 500 Men's Suits below cost for the cash at L. W. C.

The business will be carried on as heretofore, but under the new name of Moseley Bros. The Moseley Bros. are not new names to our people, but are synonymnous with honest dealings, plenty goods for rca1y cash, and the same corps of genial, courteous and affable clerks. The banking business will also be conducted as usual. This firm of twenty-four years standing has been one of unparalled success, and the name is known "far and wide"-from "Dan to Beersheba." The disolution is by mutual consent, and the relations of the parties concerned are of the most pleasant nature. Mr. Wheeler simply being desirous of retiring to an agri cultural life, his wishes and desires were granted, and all parties are happy and s,,rene. Prof. Frank Dreher has resigned as principal of Prosperity High School. His resignation has been accepted by the Board of Trustees. Prof. Dreher goes with the best wishes of all our people to the Lone Star State, where ever so many of our young men have gone before. There was no antagonism between Prof. Dreher and the patrons rf the school. In fact the school is in r- prosperous condition, but Professor Dreher's health is failing, and he thinks rexas, with a lighter work will restore what he has lost, in the way of health. Prof. E. 0. Counts,who is well known as a first class teacher, will fill the place just vacated by Prof. Dreher, and ill will be happy and serene. YUBE.

As the most of our friends have never beard of the story, we will try to tell it, *id try to stick as cloie to the truth as , rcumstances will permit. Doubtless the many readers of this county know the parties we shall mention, and also the place. Deadfall is the place; or rather that is the ancient name, but the rising generation have given it the name of String Town. Well, the story goes, that there was a ghost to be seen at the old Deadfall every night, (there was no one living there at the time) and various were the tales as to what was seen and heard. So Frank M--, Dan L- and Newt B- , with his little son Lawrence, made up a party of investigation. Frank M-, armed with a pitchfork, assured the party of no danger as he was a medium and could materialize the ghost, but as it turned out, things materialized too well. When the party got on the spot and was walking around the house to the well, every one stopped. Frank called for his spirits and they camne too quick. The p)arty got scared and start ed to run, some going on one side of the house, some on the other, and all getting around about the same time, and seeing each other, every fellow thoughit it was the ghost and they broke off in every direction. Frank M. hap pened to start across the old field, aod making a speed that would astonish Maud S. Nobody ever did know where he took up at, hut he got home next morning all scratched up, no hat, and that pitchfork never has bee'a found, and he never has exp)lained1 t the sat isfaction of the womena why he never got home any sooner; and Newt B., poor fellow, got the worst fuight of all; when lie started to run his little son grabbed him by tha coat tail and Newt though t it was the ghost, and he spread himself with the boy holding on for his life, not wanting to be left. Now there was a short turn in the road, and when Newt made the turn his coat tore out, arid wvhen the boy saw he was left he began to yell, and that only made the ol man get better, aind every few steps lhe wvould call out to Mollie, his wife, to open the door. He soon got home, and the little fellow came along after awhile, but the old mar. was too scared to let him in for a good w;hile. Dan L. being young and wive, he just cleaned up everything. He got on a regular stampede with hat in hand, and an Indian war-whoop every fcw jumps; he left everything. Daa had a cap box in his pocket with only a few caps in it, and every jump the caps would rattle and Dan would run the harder, until he ran himself down, and for a long time, if you would rattle a cap box Dan would start up and look for the ghost. None of the party ever knew what startled them that night, but some people say it wvas only a cat fight. Any way, since the Smith Man ufacturing Comipany has been there the little Smiths have scared away all the ghosts. a * * Two Papers a Week for a Dollar a Year The "Twice a-wveek" Edition of TH-E ST.

Par rott, Dr. James Ciowney and Miss Le wellyn Lee Lark, daughter of Mr. Cul len Lark-all of Laurens County. j ~ ObiYtmmrJ. Death of Little Henry Paul Zobal. Henry Paul, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Zobel. died Tues day ruorning, February :1th, in the 1Gth year of his age. For twelve or fourteen years he knew nothing of earth's scenes of joy and sorrow; neither of its temptations and waywardness. Only in the opening hours and days of infancy that linkeri two brief years together did the beautiful light of day and the endearments of honie shine upon and touch the glimniering con seiousness of babyhood. There was no rift in the cloud of that little life, so soon and so darkly shadowed! But the vail is now drawn, and he has entered the presence of the Great Physician and the company of :i;,is tering spirits! The ears are unstopped, the lips no longer sealed, and the eyes, to all in tents sightless here, pave opened upon the tremulous light of love and to the iris of heaven! The little body is at tranquil rest within the boson of muother earth. The whispering voices of the vesper winds shall be its lullaby; whilst not an atom of the fragile form, in dissolution, shall be lost in the weeks, months and sea sons that iay elapse before the Crea tive Voice of the Lord of the Resurrec tion shall reinvest it with the invisible yet indestructible nind and soul now so beautifully clothed upon with the habilanents of Paradise.
