NEWS AND HERALD WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK FOOSHEJ Editor and Proprietor. PUBLLSHED WEEKLY TERMS. IN ADVANCE: One Year,............................$1.50 Six Months.......................... .75 Wednesday, June 13, 1906. Nitrogen is the most expensive commercial fertilizing ingredient on the market. And yet the whole atmosphere is just sur charged with it. The only thing to do is to extract it and for this purpose there is nothing else equal to the cow pea. Sow peas and get your nitrogen free of cost. You c u go to the store and get your nitrogen at a heavy ex pens.. It doesn't cost anything to get it out of the air. As it is abso.utely necessary for you to have this most valuable of all fertilizing ingredients, it just re mains whether you will buy it from the merchant or accept it as a gift from nature. Just put peas in the ground and they will get the ritrogen for y6u free of cost, for the crop of hay that you will gather will more than pay all your expenses. The great success that has at tended the Kirmess has in it some suggestions of deep impart to the members of the Commercial Club. The enthusiastic support that has been given the entertainment for the better equipping of the Club's rooms is to be taken as an evidence that the community is looking to this new organization for doing something for the ad vancement of Winnsboro's in terests in every respect. While other efforts at organizing the business men of Winnsboro have utterly failed in the past, this renewed determination to have an organization that shall be for furthering the business interests of the town is to be taken as an evidence that the people are look ing to the future rather than the past. However much the busi ness men of the community have been handicapped in the past in their efforts to get together in an organization for pushing Win.-s boro because of not having a proper place to hold their meet ings, this excuse can no longer be made. With this barrier wholly removed and with such suitable quarters as have been made possi ble through the splendid sum that has been raised from mem berships and from the Kirmess, rooms that are much mrore desira ble than most such organizations have in their infancy,-it is incum bent upon the members of the Commercial Club to show some appreciation of what has been done for them by doing some thing worth while. While club rooms are very necessary for providing social entertainment, they are not the all important thing-they are merely a means to an end. The primary purpose of the organizing the Club is the getting of Winnsboro's business men ne~.ed for the common pur pose e f bushing the town. If the Club fails here, it has utterly failed so far as being a benefit to tbe community in a practical way is concerned. There is a plenty of work to be done and there is nothing that will contribute more to make the Club a unit than go ing right down at some definite work. The board of directors have some matters in hand now and these must be pushed. How ever, they can not do all that is to be done of themselves, they need the assistance of the entire membership of the Club. And right here it should be remarked that every business man in the town should join the Club. In stead of thirty-six members as at present, there should be at least fifty. Less than this number will make the running expenses of the Club so large that it will make the burden of keeping the Club going fall very hea Jy on the smaller membership. Instead of standing back and not joining, come into the Club and help make it a success. Stop this foolish talk that one hears too much of that everything in Winnsboro fails. Whatever tiuth there is in this statement as it relates to the past is dtee to the fact that there are a few who always prefer croaking to helping. This is a time for all getting together. With all together there will be someth'ng accom plished. We repeat that the increased promise of success to this Club makes it all the more imperative that the members do something to realize the ends sought. The < heavier responsibilities call for more determined action. This Iis an opportunity. if let pass by will never recur. Make, the Clubf a success by doing something for J SWinnsboro.

Continued from page one. brought together in such a way as to suggest that there had been real thinking behind this rare collection of curios. Mrs. Brock ington was a most happy selection for taking charge of this booth, and as she explained. in her charming mann.r the labeling of the different items in this collec tion, it became all the more inter esting. A list of a few of these are given merely as suggestive of what this curiosity shop really contained: Things to make you smart-a bundle of pepper pods. Dear in winier-a box of soft coal. The wide, wide world-an atlas with a world map. Things to adore-a box of door knobs. Recollections from childhood a bundle of switches. Our pastor's early home-a baby carriage. Charge of the light brigade an electric light bill for lights that have not yet been used. Things that end in smoke-a package of cigars. Sweet sixteen-sixteen lumps of sugar. An absorbing subject-a sponge. Kids at rest-kid gloves in a box. Maid of Orleans-a plate of molasses candy. The lay of the last minstrel an egg. REBECCA AT THE WELL. The old, old story of Isaac's first meeting Rebecca at the well is one that loses none of its beauty in the onward march of time, for love still holds sway over the hearts of men and women, however varied the con ditions under which two lives are brought in unison. How sugges tive then at a gathering of this kind where are gathered together those whose lives have been brought under the control of this mysterious god or those who are hoping that the lightning will strike sooner or later that there be something to remind of the work of Cupid other than that may be seen in the young people as they add to the happiness of the occasion by the smiles that are playing.upon their faces. So "Rebecca at' the Well" was a happy conception and no less happily carried out. Within a little hexagonal inclosure was a real well into which were let down buckets from which were dipped ice cold lemonade. The young ladies to whom was en trusted the delightful pleasure of dispensing this most refreshing and ever popular drink were Misses Susie and Tirzah Ketchin, who, though kept continuously busy each evening, ever had a pleasant word for each customer to make the stop at the well all' the more enjoyable. CAKE BOOTH. Cake is one word that always suggests zomething good and tbe very height of the culinary art is ever to be expected here. With a few beautiful cakes set upon a table there is nothing else needed in the way of ornamentation, for these are always an ornament within themselves. So there was no special need for elaborate decorations for the cake booth. This booth was small, though the trimmings of white and lilac were put around in such an artistie way as to attract much favorable comment upon the part of all. Mrs. A. G. Quattlebaum i I charge of this most tastily ar ranged little booth, which, under her skillful managemaent, was very popular indeed. THE sUPPER?. Of course there could be no Kirmess without having suip served. It is just impossiuY f.> women ever to consent to h1 > share in any entertainiment .a out providing some exhibiti m. their wonderful skill in the cuI~ nary department. Au'i ju Lig from the good things that w. re being offered on this occasion theyv are still adepts in this line. The~ supper was not an elaborate one. Ham sandwiches and chicken salad constituted the meat course. To drink there was either the best of coffee or refreshing ice tea. Supper was served each night by young ladies, who seemed to take the very greatest delight in seeing that each one was waited on in such a way as to get full money's worth. Mrs. W. A. Beaty, Mrs. Obear and Miss Re becca Buchanan looked after the supper in that same careful man ner that makes them so much in lemand for theae occasions. A nore faithful committee can not e found anywhere, and their ifcient service is greatly appre iad.THE COUN~TRY STORE. This was the name given the ooth in which were placed the tumerous contributions of the n~ arious merchants; and when Cj bese were all in, there was lack- g g neither quantity nor variety. r e on and the amounts realized u ere most satisfactory. ThA auc- g~i ;ioneer was Mr. A. M. Owens, vho always performs this crying ict with credit to himself and atisfaction to his patrons. MOST POUTAI LADY. A day or two before the hold ing of the Kirmess Mrs. Des Portes went to Columbia and while thermt several of the Colum bia merchants made contributions of various articles as an expres sion of their interest in anvthing connected with Winnsboro's ad vancement. The Warren-Allen Company gave a lovely piece of statuary, J. L. Tapp Company a beautiful dish, J. L. Mimnaugh & Co. a fine umbrella, and Sylvan Brothers a handsome gold ring set with a ruby. . It was decided that this ring should go to the young lady who should be voted the most popular. The cost of a vote was only five cents and as an evidence that the interest in this contest was intense there was cast a total of 1,655 votes, of which Miss Carrie Elliott received 714 and Miss Mamie Jordan 604. This ring will be worthily worn by its lucky recipient. FINALE. It was after 12 o'clock Friday evening when the crowds left the armory, which for three evenings had been a. centre of attraction. There were present each evening more than 250 people and from one and all there was the one ex pression, "A brilliant success." That six hundred dollars should be spent here in three evenings at this season of the year was a surprise to all and is a fine indi cation that the:e are men in Winnsboro who are willing to spend their money for the ad vancement of the town. The social feature was fine, as the people were brought to know each other better than ever be fore. The Kirmess has been worth all the time and labor and money that was spent in bringing it off. TWO VETERANS LESS. Mr. J. A. Stewart and Dr. T. G. Doug lass Pass Over the River. Within less than thirty days from the memoiial exercises two of the veterans, who were awarded Crosses of Honor on that day, have passed over the river. One of these, Mr. J. A. Stewart, re eived his cross while sitting in his buggy, as he had become very much enfeebled within the past twelve months. The other, Dr. T. G. Donglass, was at the time critically ill at home, where he lingered till the call came Wed nesday for him to come over the river. Mr. Jos. A. Stewart was 63 years old. At an early age he volunteered for service in the Con federate army and his comrades bear testimony to the heroic manner in which he discharged his duties as a soldier. In Feb ruary, 1869, he was married to Miss Janie Smith, who servives him. The following children also survive: R. E. and D. P. Stewart, Longtown; J. R., W. V., E. J. and Miss Carrie Stewart, Winns boro. The following . brothers and sisters also survive: Mrs. M. A. Jackson, Winnsboro; Mrs. Wylie, Columbia; R. J. Stewart, Rion; W. S. Stewart, Columbia; T. C. Stewart, Longtown. His remains were taken to Longtown for interment in the Presbyterian emetery Thursday morning. Dr. Thos. G. Douglass had passed the allotted three score and ten, being in his 71st year. More than two years ago he had to give up his practice on account of the intirmities of age. Imme diately after graduation at the Uharleston Medical College Dr. Douglass entered the Confederate army as a private. Later he be ame a surgeon, rendering most efective sa.vice to the wounded md the dying. For forty years -ter the bloody struggle he con tinued the pratoice of his profes ion with decided4 success. Dr. Douglass was a man of easy man er and most sympathetic in his nature. As he~ entered the rooms )f his patieus his good cheer was a beaemiietin. It is not idle words to sav that he was greatly beloved throug.hout the large sec ;ion of counitry, covered by his practice. He~ wa and that too is few men are esteemed in their 3mmunities. A widow, who was Miss Char otte Rabb, and f our sons survive: r. J. E., Dr. J. W., T. J. and 1 H. Douglass, all of whom are oated neai the parental home. L brother, Mr. C. B. Douglass, ~nd two sisters, Mrs. Joe Mc feekin and Mrs. Mary Chappell, .11 of Jeukinsville, also survive. ~he remains of this belovedI riend andl family physician were *id to, ;est in New Hope ceme ery Thursday, the services being onducted by his pastor, Rev. 1.

ZION INSTITUTE CLOSES. da H Another Successful Year for this His -li toric Schooi--Awarding of Certifi cates to the Graduates- Address by Rev. C. E. McDonald. The closing exercises of Mt. Zion Iustitute were held at theR school building Friday morning a aud the large room was filled at with the pupils and their friends'so who had come to witness these li interesting exercises. The exer- a cises were very simple, consisting e of sougs and instrumental music I1 by the pupils, an address by Rev. C. E. McDonald, three essays a by members of the graduating y clss, and the awarding of cr-- n tificates to those completing the a course of study in tihe high suhool E department. d The report of Supt. Baker a showed that the school has had * d very prosperous year. There was; a slight increase in the per cent of attendance as compared with the previous year, the average beig 9:3. In making this crati. b fying announcement, Mr. Bake: e took occasion to urge parents to a auard against the granting of g flimsy excuses to their children. a The graduating class consisted a of six boys, who have made a fine f record the past year, receiving n high praise from their teachers f for their faithful work. Thes3 a were: James Douglass, Spence: C McCants, Shaw Ketchin, Moffat McDonald, James Bryson and Benj. Heyward. Certificates were a granted these and in the awardingh the same Supt. Baker pointed out I that their scholastic work was . only begun. It is a remarkabl3s fact that this consisted of boy3 and it is said that each of thes 3 will enter some college the com- 7 ing fall. The address was to have bee:i f( made by Dr. Poteat, president of d Furman University, but on ac- q count of circumstances over whic:i he had no control, he could not q get here. Rev. C. E. McDonald P kindly consented to get Supt. Baker out of the hole in which u he was thus unfortunately placed 'w and in the words of one of his d admiring listeners not only gct him out, but filled up the hole behind him. The message 'that Mr. McDonald brought his hear- 1 ers was one of good cheer, an appeal to look upon the bright side of life rather than the dark 0 side, and by his pointed and apt a illustrations, which were inter- c spersed with much humor, be t made the few moments he was speaking very cheery and bright " for his interested listeners. It ~ was a strong plea for better living and was greatly en joyed. I The program together with the 1s honor roll is given below: PROGRA. Prayer-Rev. Henry Stokes. h Hymn, "Holy! Holy!
