The Town of Newberry. Newberry is a wide awake and regular go-head place. It does more business and better business than any place in the 0p-cointry, never failing to satisfy the deminds of the public in every particular. Laurensville Ilerald. Goverror Scott, of South Carolina, testified before the Ku Klux Committee, en the 6th. He said he knew of no Ku _Xlur in his part of the State, but be ied such organization did exist in some counties, their obiject being to in timidate voters in 1872. Study Self-Control. The Lynchburg News gives utterance to the following: "Let every Southern man bear in mind that the object of the Ku Klux bill is, by provoking South em violence, to keep out the Presiden ial v*te of the South in 1872. If Grant caa find a pretext, he will do it, and the whole aim of the Sonth should be not to give Iim a pretext. Let everybody study self-control." Anadeson Awska. - On the question of subscribing $~A 04o to the capital stock of the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line R.ai-.ay Coni pany, on the condition of a location near the town, the citiz_ns of Anderson took a vote which resulted in a most gratify ing manner, two hundred and one vote being cast for and not one against.

It is very odd that the medicine pre - scribed for the South in invariably re j-cted asa home specific. The Southein people may be proud, violent, even cruel, -but they cannot be charged with being mean enough to cheat a nigger. Bpartanburg Female Cotlege. With great pleasure we call attention to the advvertisemecnt from thxe princi * pals of this deserving institution, in our - paper this week. This College occupies a high place in the public regard, and -* with reason, it being under the direction * of gentlemen of well-known worth and efficieney, and who have labored earnest *y and successfully in making it one of - - the best Female Colleges i;r the country. The course of instruction is -liberal and comaprehensive, and the rates charged quite moderate, while the location is the -healthiest and best in the whole State. Spartanburg is a delightful town, not only in.point of health, but as to its so ciety, and wve know that parents cannot do better-if they send their daughters from home-than to entrust them to the care of the Rev.

H. L Butterfield, in the Courier to-day, that the price of board has been reduced. The Pavilion has ever enjoyed a iw ide r.pread reputation, not second to any other uell-kept aind excellent h:ouse, as its numerously filled -register fi om day tody'cari attest.

C., a copy of which the talent e-d authoress has kindly sent us. In this fast age too little attention is paid to the preparation of the food we eat, and unpalatable, indigestible dishes are served up, which entail not only dis appoinitme:,ts and unhappiness in the f;uilly, but unhealthiness. In some cases this is the result of carLlessness and in dliftre::ce, in others -through ignorance. yn .it.her the diflculty may be avoided by good books en cookery, cr.refully pre piared by practical, experienced persons inr all the seorets of the kitchen and pan try. The wvork before us wvill ser ve the purpose doge dial, as it is a .!omplete book of referenac, and we re commend it heartily to our lady r caders.

OLRa 13ANK,-The fact that our citizens are soon to eujoy the privileges of banking fa, cilties affords much satisfaction. The or ganization being now effected, It is only neessary to complete certain essential ar rangements, whtich will occupy a few weeks perhaps, when the bank will go into opera tion. The selection of oflicers, too, is a ju dicious one; no mrn better qualified conaid have been found to fill the important po-i tions to which these have been calhled, and we congratulate them on their elevation to oflie, as well as the busittess community. that the intrec.sts of the bank will be cntrtust ed to such good hands. AnlotT- A Fn~E ENGNE.--In answer to the qtesion asked last week-what about a fire engine' we are gratified to learrn that ste'ps have been instituted to procure one, and nc gotiations now being made will likely result in a favorable manner. In a few d:tys it will be ascertained whether the engine now In -riew can be obtained or not. We are pleased to h'ear this; it looks like ou'r citizens are awke, and that so great a necessity is not overlooked, or treated with entire indiffer ece. We think it strange, however, that the action determined on, was deemed, seemingly, of so little importance, that no thing was s::id about ir, so that mention could be made through our paper . The ladies love to go to McFall & Pool's dry goods store, and why? Because they are always sure of finding the best, and handsomest of goods. THE WEATHER ANtD CRuops.-The seasons for most of the growing crops are propitious, and corn particularly looks finer than we, eve.r remember to have seen itat so ea rly a! period. The promise now is that tbe yield will be good, andI shiould July prove season a~.te rer will he bh'sed n ith fail cribs. Vbeat has turtedout Tneh better than was xpected. Oats generally are splendid, a ,reat deal too, we are pleased to say, having Peen sowed. All kinds of garden crops are tonting to do their very best. Too much ain, however, has f'Alen forcotton, say far ners, and the crop will not turn Out good, iut so far as we have seen,the pat is grows ig *igorously and looks healthy and prom ing. Djrr Toun TEArs.-In proof that either lbe good time coming, and long waited for, ias at length come, or something else equally s good, we cite seeing on Saturday last, a riend trigged on- from head to heel in deep 4!#e. We thorght directly of the nursery "Do Miss Nmaev, don'r you cry, Ylnr sweetheart will come hy'm'by%; When he conei. he'll dress in blue, And [hat's a sigu he'll marry you." For generations has this premise been held te:d out, never before has it been realized. 'he man in blie has always been in blessed irospective until now.

So Tux It-:nA SAIT.-MIany of our read rs no donbt, remember, iong, long ago, cading the first chapier of a tale which >romised to prove of-reat interest. It was -nt,tlcie, we beLikve, the "adventures of 3ha-les" somebody. Irgave a glowing de cription of the hero, his matily proportions. inl invested him with such excellencies of -haracter and attainments, that fLir readers, ,very one, set him up as their bea-i ideal of a ord of creation. Of course Ciarles wa3 in uve. His lady love lived some miles off, ind the intervening sp-ace was crowned by a nountain of considerable proportions. This ;pace was often traverbed by Charles, and hle mountain scaled by his sturdy legs. The :ourse of true love does not always run ;moothly however, as m-iny of our young riends know to their sorrow; and, unfortu lately, one beautiftil Indian summer after loon, anim:ttel to an unuil 11 degree by the liviac em->tion, our I -ro, Charles, in going down the precipitous side of the mountain, tforesaid, lost his footing, as he had his iead, and blippel d,>wn, down, down, and ,vould have fallen to its very base, but that ijagged branch of an old tree caught him by the seat of his beeches. Charles hung muspended in mid air. It was a perilous po ;ition, all will ad:nit. Without regard, iowever, to the thousan Is of sympathizing readers, the publisher stopped there, and wid "to be continued." It was unfeeling. Worse though, week after week elapsed, and ao continuation followed. Young ladies ere in despair; what had beco'ne of Cbarles? kras he hanging on the tree, on that moun ain side still? The Indian Summer passed, and Winter, with its bleak, chilly blasts, set in. What a situation for Charles, and then, too, he had on nothing but a pair of thin linen pants. Hi, love must have taken wings surely. About this tkme a Western ,ditor took up the story, and published the scond and lasst chapter to relieve the wide spread anxiety. Sail he, after remaining in that trying position six week<, until the rain !md dews had rotted his pants, Charles fell to the bottom. Whethcr lie survived the ad venture or not, or was afterwards matrried, tas not been discovered to this day. This initeresting and exciting story was brought to mind on the occasion of the per rormtanee given by te St.ar frou~pe two weeks sgo, and by the tambarine pl.ayer who relia. ted a cacik and bull story of a young m:an ayho had to cross the ocean to see hisi swveet eart, wvhaich, he said, he had read in the Eeratd. The adventures of this hero were so onderful, so marvellons, as to create doubt is to their truth, and to su'astantiate his nar rative, at every seten cen,as unn estionable inthom ity, hec wonld repea?, 'so the Ilertald says." And thtus going on from onte whop pr to another, and so the Hlerald says, and getting his anudience highly intercsted to ~nowv bio his hero would get out of the naze of diffieulties, into which he had beena o strangely brought, concluled by saying, itf you want the rest, just subscribe for the [herald, and read for yonrself.' Appreciating the intense atnxiety which >ur readers feel ona this s'thlject, and folly aware of the morbid enrio4lty which must >c entertained, we will endeanvor shortly to give the complete narrative from beginning to end. It is due to ourselves to say though, :hat no such marvellous story eve appeired a the lierald. The tamborine priayer's im gination is responsible for it. McFall & Pool arc the asuats for S. W. IL.

We have heard but of one old woman who kissed her cow, but of thtou'ands wvho have i;sed cailves. Reflections should never lhe cast on a plain roung lady for consultinig her looking-glass; or she is fucing her dificulties.

I only charged an amount, if paid In fifteen months, that would be equal to the prices paid by the best men in this County. In some cases I know they willing ly pay 10 per cent. on the cash prices of the goods, and one per cent. per month interest; and in other cases, cash prices at 3 per cent. per month. Now, for fifteen months, de, duct 3 per cent. per month-which is 45 per cent.-from my bill, and I am satisfied no reasonable man will complain of the prices, and as Mr. W. G. Mayes and R. L. 31'Caugh rin were called before the Grand Jury to compare their cash prices wi.h mine, as pub lishe.1 by the Grand Jury, I am authorized by these gentlemen to refer to them as to the correctuess of this statement, and that they are being paid 3 percent. per month, or its equivalent, by the best men in the County, for such articles of merchandise as is charged in my bill. And, furthermore, I will say In conclusion, that I would be glad to receive the cash for tIs bill, at the cash prices on the days they were delivered, without inter est, if the Treasurer of the County will pay it now.
