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,

Colombia Auto Races.
Several hundred Columbians and
visitors to the city witnessed the fast
automobile races at the State Fair
grounds on the Fourth of July. This
it seems was about the only interesting
amusement feature in the Capital
city. A number of family dinners
and barbecues were enjoyed and the
day passed off quietly.

Our Florida Letter.
Wild wood, Fla., July 1,1913.
Things are moving along smoothly
down here.
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.

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.

Fourth of July Victims.
Chicago, July 4.?The celebration of
the Fourth of Julv with fireworks this
y^ar resulted in only eight deaths and
365 injuries in the entire country, according
to a compilation up to midnight
tonight. 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.
The eight dead compares with a
total of 41 compiled at midnight Independence
day, 1912; 57 in 1911 and
131 in 1910.
