29 EWBBBES. el, Wednesday, July 23, 1873. Col. Simeon Fair. Col. Simeon Fair is no more. This' estimable man and citizen, kind friend and neighbor, died at Glenn's Spring, on Tuesday, the 15th day of July, 1873, in the 73d year of his age. We knew him well; we have known him for many years, and we know that if there ever was a man who had the es teem and love,and kindly regard of all who knew him, Col. Fair was that man. Open, sincere and frank in hi nature, he, early in life, won the hearts of the people of Newberry, an held them to the last. Few men have lived in public life as long as he did, and made as few enemies and as man friends. He deserved his success. le deserved to be loved in life and honored in death. Faultless he wa not, but his faults were generous ones, and he was a good man. Col. Fair was born in April, 1801, in the District of Newberry, S. C., about five miles from the Court House. He was admitts. to cae practice of the Law in 1824, opened an office in the vIllage of Newberry, the County seat of his native District, where he continued to reside until the day of his death. During the Seminole war in Flori , da, he was elected first Lieutenaht of a company of volunteers. Soon after his return from Florida, he was chosen Colonel of the 3?th Regiment of S. C. Militia, wbjeh command he held for several years. In 1839, he was elect ed to the Legislature. On the expi ration of his term he was re-elected. In 1846, he was chosen Solicitor of this Circuit, which position he held, being re-elected thereto, until the year 1868-the long period of twenty-twc years. For twenty years, *hile serv ing as Solicitor of his Circuit, he ney er missed a court, but in 1866 he was stricken down with sickness and was compelled -to.call some of his legal brethren to his assistance. He was a member of the Conven tion called by the State of South Caro lina, in 1860, "to see that the State receive no detriment," and voted for the Ordinance of Secession, which was passed by that Convention, Dec 20th, 1860., His last public ser:iee was' as member of the Democratic Conven tion, which met in Briltimore in 1872. being a delegate from the State atj - large. - He leaves several children, three~ son's and one daugliter (who is her-i self a widow with one daughter,) but no widow, his wife having died a few years ago. But a short time ago we chronicled the death of Mr. James Fair-his brother now joins him in thc better land. One by one the old original citizens of the town of Newberry are leaving us. Let us remember their good deeds and forget all others. At a meeting of the members of the Newberry Bar, held July 19th, 1873, Mr. L. J. Jones was called to the Chair, and Mr. Y. J. Harrington ap pointed Secretary. The Chairman having stated the object of the meet ing, on motion of Mr. Baxter, it ,wa: Rlesolved, that a committee of three be appointed to prepare a memorial of the life and character of Col. Simeotn Fair, deceased. The Chairmuan then appointed Messrs. J. M. Baxter, J F. J. Caldwell and Y. J. Pope, as the committec. On motion of Mr. Bax ter, the following resolutions were adopted: R?esolced, 1. That this meeting stand adjourned until the first Monday iU September next, at 12 o'clock M., to be held at Newberry Court House. for the purpose of paying a suitabk tribute to the memory of our deceased friend and brother, Col. Simeon Fair. at'which time the Committee be re qjuested to prescut their memorial and resolutions. Resoced, 2. That the citizens of Newberr y County, and the members of the Bar throughout the State, be cor dially invited to meet with the mem bers of this Bar upon that occasion. Riesolce'd, 3. That the Newberry and Columbia papers be requested to' publish the proceedings of this meet ing L. J. JONES, . Chairman. Y. J. HIARaIsovos, Secretary. Columbia papers requested to copy. Improvements. This is certainly a Progressive Age -not the Pr'ogressice Age newspaper, moud reader-but a day and age of p.roress- and improvement, in New berry at least. Walking along the street a few evenings ago, we heard a shrill whistle or scream of a steam en eine which seemed to be in some new direction. Looking up and around we discovered a column of smoke over beyond the creek in a Northerly direc tion. In a few moments we heard auiother shrill whistle. Surely, we thought, it cantb psil that a locomotive has run so far off the track as to be away over there in the rear of Col. Fair's. and is now engaged in making signals of distress ! Or, stay: it cannot be that the Rail Road from Chester to Newberry is almost com plte,a nd s now in workingt order as far as the old College buiing. an Iw not know it till now I'How l. have we bcn aslcep ? We m1u:t see ,into it. We turned down the street Nwent over beyond the creek, keepinI an eye on that smoke, determined to see what we should see, and find out what was going on over there. Read-S er, we found something that pleased us very well, a Newberry Machinel Shop, not very l'arge and extensive, it, is true, but well arranged, and con ducted by our friend, Mr. Chapman, the Book man. He makes and repairs Cotton Gins, in which business he is an adept. He will also do you a job f Turning, either in wood or iron, with neatness and dispatch. Success to him. Insurance Meeting. Agreeably to appointment another meeting of the gentlemen interested in he formation of a Home Insurance Company, was held in the Town Hall,on ednesday last. Mr. T. S. Moorman upon taking the chair, called the meet ing to order, and Mr. Teach C. Pool as requested to act as Secretary. The charter of the Georgia Home In snrance Company was made the basis for the government of this Company. th one or two slight changes, copies of which having been printed were distributed. The principal object of this meeting was to make a beginning wards the capital stock-which is xed at $100,000 to start with, and hich will be raised to $250,000, at 100 per share. The gentlemen nam d subscribed the following shares: Messrs. M. Foot, 20 shares; R. S. Chick, 20; G. P. Copeland, 20; W. .Tarrant, 10; Thos. F. Harmon, 10; D. B. Wheeler, 10v J. P. Pool, 10; hos. S.

There being no further business the meeting adjourned, after agreeing to meet on Wednesday afternoon, the 23d. T. C. POOL, Secretary. Newberry College. It is, or should be a source of grat ification to every patriotic citizen of LNewberry, that it is in contemplationJ to once more establish the Collegc3 at Neil erry. Every one now sees that it should never have beeni moved from this place. But it was done with the hope, that at a new place, the difficulties that were to be encountered here, might be avoided. and that the institution, taking fresh start, might have a long carece of prosperity before it. These hopes have not been entirely diappoinLted. The College has done well, but not as well as it is destined to do, when it once more finds an abiding plaec at Newberry, as we earnestly hope it will. Looking at the matter front. he stand-point of the C3hurch, we feel ure that no place in the State offers he same, or equal, or anything like qual advantages that this does. .The place is central, and in a community where there are many Lutherans or wealth and influence, and persons con eted with members of the Luther:m Church by ties of blood or marriage. And we think we can with truth say. hat the people of the County and rown of Newberry are orderly and aw-abiding. We know that th( owns-people are, and that there are ewer fast and dissipated young men n this town than in any other of it.s ize in the State. We can speak ith a becoming pride of the sobriety, teadiniess and industry of by far the arger number of the young men here. An old friend of ours was deeply af 'eeted by an incident which camne uder his observation a short timE einee, illustrative of the character ad habits of our young gentlemen. Why" said he, "I never saw the ike before, there were fifteen youn-g uen met together for the sole purpose. f worshipping God." We mention this fact, not that we are disposed to oast of our good behavior, but simply iillustratting the general habits and haracter of the people. But unm doubtedly, if a young man wants tv go to ruin, and is determined to do 0, the road is open here as well a. elsewhere. In regard to the old College build ing, skilled mechanics are of the opin ion, that if taken in hand at once, what is now standing may be renilered en tirely secure, and the building restored t a cost of four or five thousand ollars. We arc of opinion, however, that the true policy would be, not th rection of costly and magnificent ouses, but the building up ofa Colleg'e or Institution of learning. havig officers and Professors of the highest gutdlifications of character and alent, and capable of sending out graduates who shall be second to none. Let the leading idea be not show but use. So far as Newberry itself is cond erned, surely there should be no esitation. We want a first-class in 'titution of learning; our needs demand we.- are at hav it Looked at: mere busine!s point A viOw, ai I w. lw.Vei whiich wve do not like o take, but lokcd at iii a mnere usines point of view. a College here -annot be otherwise than advan- I ageous. The money spent by the' itudents would necessarily be cou iiderable. Many of their friends and! relatives would be drawn to visit1 them at different times. Some, per [aps, would finally locate here, so that the whole tendency of the institution would be to increase the prosperity rf the town aid enhance the value of real estate. Let it be done ; let the people take hold now of this uatter heartily; subscribe this money and have the College;-and we doubt not that in after years, our children's children will call to mind this action their father's with a noble and gen erous pride. Besides, many of us want to send our sons to College, but are not able to send them abroad, but if we could give them a complete and thorough education at home, we would gladly do it. We want a first-class institution of learning: our needs demand it; we are able to have it. FOR THE HEtALD. MR. EDITor: I notice in your issue of July.lGth, some remarks concerning the object of the meeting of the S. C. Synod, to be held in Newberry. The object you state "is in the interests of the Lutheran College, and for the pur pose of once more loating it in this town." Now as a member of the Board, and the mover of the proposition for a called meet 'ng of Synod, I wish to state that. 3o sucu IDEA WAS ENTERTAI.NI.) BY THE BOARi). The ole object was to consider the finances ot the College, and set on foot some plan foi the collection of the money due the institu tion 'y pledges and otherwise, and thu. free ourselves of debt and have a small surplus. Please make the above correction that there may be no misunderstanding. There s no proposition to remove the College efore the Synod or the College Board. A MUEBR OF THE BOARD. The remarks %e made in reference to the removal of the College from Walhalla back to Newberry, were based entirely on th authority of information given us by ont whom we supposed well posted, and bv solicitation. Of course we have a desire to 9ee such a move, but the responsibility ol giving voice to the matter does no, rest upon us. We were urged to do so. ur article already in type on this sam, ubject, for this issue, is only carrying )u: the wishes of the friend who gave us the information. We regret therefore that w. have given expression to views which ar& rot only repugnant to the Board, but whicl: were unknown to themi. It was not otu fault.- En H ERALDo. iFoR THE hERALD.

THE DRAMA-Under the auspices f the Clinton High School, Garling. ;on's Drama entitled "The Tyrant of ew Orleans," was put upon the oards and handsomely rendered at lat place, on last Monday evening. Ibe school building was densely filled. imong whom were a large number of adies. The behavior of all in attend mne was excellent--we never saw etter. The east of characters was zost happily made, and to say that all iquitted themselves creditably would earely do justice to those engagin~ in the play. One object, anad doubtless the chief >ne, in bringing this play before the public, was to raise a small fund to be xpended in repairing the High School building, and the success at Lending the effort could not be other wiise than gratifying, as the attendance was large and the proceeds of the ex ibition considerable. We must congratulate our good riends of Clinton upon their success n the recent dramatic effort and the care histrionic talent displayed on the, eeasion. Of course some performed ;heir parts better than others, buti here all did so well it would be un just, if not invidious, to particularize; -t we cannot close this brief and uperfect sketch without mnaking pecial mention of the song by 3Miss .IH., which, though an old and mniliar one, was appropriate to the day and sweetly sung. [LTaurenstille Heral. FOR THE HERALD. M.a. m1.11 rol: T 'IVcuty iniile, west of Chri3s innsblrgh, 'a., is a beauliful t!le valley zuated between two lofty mountains, and lbe entrance to which is by a narrow -efile t the mountains. Here live in perfect peace ind quiet about 170 individuals, all told. ccluded thus from the busy bustle of the vorld, and hemmed in on all sides by thej ,verlasting hills, bow could they be other vise than happy. We propose to give you a: ;hort sketch of these people and our sojourn imong them. We were here from the 27th ,o the 30th of June. We give dates, in or1P ler that you may see the ditference in climate, :rops, fruit, &c. It perhaps would be well,1 .oo, to give you a sketch of how we got into this charming little vineyard, and what com.i pany we had, as one of the party may not bel an entire stranger to many of your readers. On the 27th of June. we left Salem, on the 8" a. m. train for Christiausburgh, distant 26 miles, in company wfth Rev. Prof. S. A. Pt; and Rev. J. D. S., of S. C., to attend the meeting of the Eastern Conference of the South Western Virginia Synod. At the depot, we met a good brother who htd conic 20 miles across the mountains in a wagon to meet us, and announced that if we would "all jump in a wagon we should have a ride.' He stated that we had a "rough road to travel," and I assure you that before I got to Clover 1lollow, I thought it one of the longest, crookedest, hilliest, rockyiest, roughest and most roundabout roads I ever tried to travel, however, we enjoyed it, but don't think w( would be safe in saying the same for others of the party. At noon we bivounced by the roadside beneath the spreading shade of a large oak, and near one of the finest springs imaginable. lere we partook of our lunch and enjoyed a few good jokes. We took tho line of travel, and reached our destination about sun-down, tired and ready for supper,4 which was soon ready. It was a supper long to be remembered. We for one, did justice to all that we could, but there was such ap abundance and profusion that we had to girc up before getting around. Just here it will ome in into say that these people are tht best livers in the land: they truly live on the' "fat of the land," and in a land "flowinL with milk and honey." If you. Mr. Editor, could only rusticate am-ng these people one onth, and live upon their good fare, i: would take about three columns and a half, r a little better of the "HERALD" to tell how much you enjoyed your trip. This valley is about four miles long, is not very wide, but they cultivate the mountaiin sides. It is wonderful to see what whea and clover grows on the sides of these moun tains. The valley gets i:s name from th luxuriant growth of clover that reaches sueh perfection here. It is the finest grazing land we ever saw,* and there are plenty of fim -attle roaming over hill and dale ready foi the market. Everybody from three years ol: up has a horse, and knows how to use it, and very horse is fat and sleek. Some of the armers are turning their attontion to stock raising entirely. It requires a large amoun f capital to successfully enter the stock business, and these people being impov rished by the war have to go int( business by degrees. Land is worth fron; 30 to $100 per acre, and it requires a larg amount of money to get enough land to rais stock largely. One gentleman told us, " came here in 1870 with $10 in cash and piece of land worth 53,000. I sold my Ian'. and bought this place for S7,000, soon after-~ wards I bought more land and gave $4,000 for it. I have been stock raising and work ing the farm and now h ave it nearly all pai for," so you see they can make moneyi Clover H-ollow. The. land is. very f-rei Ie and produces well. Wheat was just begin ning to turn ripe. Corn was looking re markably well. It is a great fruit country. however, they bad no fruit at this time. Cherries were just getting ripe but no enough to eat. There is something singular about the water of this valley. Not the taste, for it i~ "clear as crystal and cold as ie," to use common expression, but in the mysterious manner in which it disappears. As we en tered the Hollow, wve remarked to the gen tleman driving us, that it must be pretty dry up the Hollow if that was all the water that flowed from it. lie said that was all, ba' the water sinks, We could not comprehend what he meant, until we saw for ourselves Fhe water comes rushing down from th. mountains in beautirul rills until it reache. the valley when it mysteriously disappears WVe saw several little branches that disap peare.d in this way, and were told that there was a large creek known as Sinking Creek in an adjoining valley that disappeared ir the same way. Another strange circum stance connected with the water of this valley is,'that it all flows Westward, and fron. the Westean slope of the mountain, none c~oming from the mountains facing Eatstward. It would do us good to give you the names af all the good people living in this delight. ml little valley, and tell you of what largr' andinteresting families they all have, how ctive and energetic these farmers are, how sappy they live, how pious and devoted to the cause of Christ,and what abundance they have of all the necessaries of life. Here hey are free from the contention of political parties. Here they are free from the uncouth ashions of the 19th Century, and here they ir.t free from the "sable sons of Africa."
