Oar Newberry Letter. The intense heat for the past week has caused onr people to softer to some extent, if no more than perspiration. Domestic animals of all kinds shonld be supplied with plenty of water these hot days. One of Chapic's enterprising, Christian citizens, Mr. W. J. Ballentine, and wife, were visiting in this city last week. Several of our young townsmen have been playing and dancing for some tame for a soft, paying job until recently they concluded in making their poll. They palled the wrong cord. Every man of family who has a member of unsound mind is running a great risk when he lets him or her roam about home as they may do some damage when we may not be looking for it. We shonid all strive to" seek after higher things in life than low ones. Things that will uplift mankind to a higher standard in life rather than those things which will cause men's noses to turn red, bladders to form onder the eyes, women and children cry for bread. The saying goes, we never get too old to learn, bat we can forget. We have almost reached the 54th mile post in age and we never shall forget the murder of young Williams which happened near Gilbert by the Hagenbeck circus crew several years ago. Whose hands are stained for this murder? Will the good people of our country vote for a ~ * - a _ e dispensary tnat win canse a crowa ui men to congregate in back yards and vacant lots every Saturday evening in the towns in which the dispensary is located and drink their booze and probably take the life of some friend? Regardless of statements given from the sales of whiskies in Columbia for the last few years, and the best methods of handling it is worth nothing compared to one poor mortal soul, possibly lose his life from the hand of his friend all on account of whiskey. The blind tigers wonld have no showing at all if every good, lawabiding citizen, sheriffs, rural police and the grand jurors of our Country would-do their doty. B. B. H, July 7th. 1913. vC,: ' ft ?

Several hundred Columbians and visitors to the city witnessed the fast automobile races at the State Fair grounds on the Fourth of July.

The Oak Grove picnic was the 17th annual picnic, which i9 given for the benefit of Oak Grove cemetery, was a success. Fodder will soon be ready to pull. Oorn will be a little short on account of the severe hail storm which swept over this country doing great damage to growing crops. To your correspondents who seem interested in my letters, must say I am no college graduate and cannot find news like a regular newspaper man, but believe me, I will do all I can for the good people of my old home county, as I have a special interest in Lexington county. I left there twelve years ago, when I wa9 but seven. Florida is a great state for the poor man who comes here with capital enough to start on, otherwise I advise him to stay where he is especially if he has a family. Mr. A. A. Harsey will soon visit Swansea, S. C., to see his kindred and old friends in Lexington county. The weather is warmer now than it has been this summer. If they keep coming South Carolina will have enough candidates for Governor. Hon. A. F. Lever should, in my opinion, be given the office of United States Senator in place of any announced candidate. Will close with best regards. J. A. H. PROCLAMATION.

Enlarge Scope of Lovvman Home. Lapse of some years and expenditure of money in considerable sums will be required for realization in full of plans adopted by directors of the Lowman home for the aged and helpless at White Rock, in their meeting yesterday at the office of the Lutheran Board of Publication in Columbia. A committee was authorized to retain an .architect and have tentative plans drafted for the enlargement of the Lowman home by the erection of groups of buildings for the accommodation of orphans, children of retarded mental development, epileptics and the helpless aged. Announcement of the decision thus to widen the scope of the work at the home was made la9t night by the Rev. Waltoa H. Greever, D. D., editor of the Lutheran Church Visitor, who is a member of the board of directors. Although this home is controlled directly by the Lutheran church, its doors are to be opened to the aged and helpless of other denominations as well; and in the canvass ' for the necessary fund9 to promote the enlarged enterprise, an appeal will be made to all persons regardless of de nominational affiliations. The plan of the board is to take care of the physically and mentally deficient after the community cottagn plan. au<i such a policy will require the r.ipeuauure of large sums of money, a^.u years must elapse before the iuscicutiou will develop to its fullest proportions. The Lowman home i9 a gift from Mrs. Malissa A. Lowman of White Rock. A large cash subseription and 1,000 acres of land were placed by her at the disposal of the Lutheran churdh about two years ago for the establishment of a home for the aged and helpless. It was one of the largest gifts ever made to the Lutheran church in the South, the plantation being appraised as easily worth ?2o,000r exclusive of the cash which accompanied it. The board of directors is composed of the Rev. Edwin Fulenwider of Newberry, president; the Rev. W. P. Cline, D. D., superintendent ot the home; Kenneth Baker of Greenwood, the Rev. C. E. Weltner, D. D., the Rev. W. H. Greever, D. D , P. C. Price and P. H. Haltiwanger of Columbia. White Rock' is 18 miles out of Columbia on the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens railroad.

None of the deaths reported came from the larger cities. The fire loss also was much smaller than has been reported on Independence day in previous years. Of the deaths reported, three were from fireworks, three from firearms, one by a premature explosion of gun powder ana one irom a runaway. Fireworks played the chief part in the 365 injuries, causing 164 accidents. Toy cannons caused 21 accidents, gun powder 65, firearms 55, toy pistols 35, torpedoes 10, runaways 7 and bomb canes 1.
