A SPLENDID CHANCE.
We want a good many more subscribers
than we have, and it is our purpose to make
a vigorous effort to obtain them. We trust
to merit in fall- the success we desire, by im
proving our paper in every way within our
power.
One of the best ways to make-a paper bet
ter is for its readers to strengthen the hands
(fill the purse) of the publisher, by engging
the subscription list. To publish a good
paper costs largely. Friends, speak a word
for us to your neighbors. Show them copies
of your paper. Prevail upon them to sub
scribe for a year, and give it a trial in their
families.
Persons out of employment can make
money by calling at our office, and engaging
to canvassfor subscribers. We wish good
work, and*are willing to pay a good price
for it.
As a special inducement, we have arranged
to present, on the ~4th of July next, FivE
WEED SEWiNG-MAcHIxEs, style 1, -price
$60, one to each of the five persons who will
send us the largest five lists of subscribers
from- now - until the 20th of June. No one
win be entitled to a machine whose list con
tains less than twenty-five subscribers, and no
name of a person already a subscriber will
count. Send the names and money as fast
as you get them, - and they will be placed to
your credit. It will in this way be easy for
the Free Mason and other charitable societies,
who have widows and other women depen
'dent upon Their charities, to secure sewing
machines for these women, who will thus be
enabled to support themselves. TRY IT!

A MAGNIFICENT OFFER.
.A.very-liberal contract with the Weed Sew
ng-Mahine Company will enable us, we
hope, to place their celebrated Machine in
Xny families. So line an opportmaity to
secure a first-class sewing machine seldom
occurs. May we not expect our friends, and
AR-interested in our work, to make an ear
nest, united effort to extend our circulation,
and thereby increase our infiuence? Cannot
the reader form a club in his or her neigh
borhood, and secure this sewing machine as
a premium? A few hours of well-directed
effort will obtain it. Are you a postmaster in
a county town or village? With a little
thought and effort you can easily send us
thirty names. Pass the subscription paper.
Thirty names at $2.50 each will secure thirty
copies of this paper for one year and a $65
sewing machine. Informing such a club you
will help us in our work, and benefit your
neighbors by placing in their families good
reading, and at the same time make your
own or some other family happy in the pos
session of a great.labor-saving machine, war
ranted to be perfetly.new, of the latest im
proved coustikton, and in perfect order.

was heartily enjoyed by a select com
pany of about thirty persons, at the in
p vitation of Mr. Thos, Lane.
M.&sM.-The Rev. Father Foichi cele
brated Mass at the residence of Mr.

number of persons embraced the privi
lege thus afforded by the visit of the
reverend gentleman.
rERSONAL.-Mr. C. P. Pelhamn, the
popular straight-out editor of the Col
umbia Begister, favored Newberry with
a visit on Saturday last. Throwing off
the - editorial harness occasionally he
comes up to look after his sons.
AN OLD PAPER.-Mr. Mike Buz

-RBEGISTER ENLARGE.-The Colum
bia Daily Register, we are pleased to
notice, came to us on Monday consider
ably enlarged and improved. This is
proof that it is meeting with the patron
age which it deserves. Success to the
.Register Co. __
SA.-We announce with pain the
death of Miss Bonlware, of this County,
which occurred on Sunday last in Co
lumbia. She was a student at the Fe
male College, and was to have graduated
in July. Her remains were brought
home on Monday. Our sympathies are
extended to the afflicted_family.
THE~ PIcNIc of the. Baptist Sabbath
School, which took place in Col. Leav

and various, and the enjoyment of
everybody complete. Happy little peo

Y. M. C. A-The meeting of the
Young Men's Christian Associatiorn was
respectably attended on Sunday after
noon, and the services were highly in
teresting. The young men of Newber

do a good work, and we are pleased to

THANKS.-Another big bucket of the
richest and sweetest kind of buttermilk E
found its way hither last week from our I
kind friend, Mrs. Elkins of Alston. -
That section is famous for its rich bot- 6
tom pasturage, and excels all other
places for its milk. Of course the cows -c
have something to do with the supply I
and quality, and the stock is very fine. t]

Bimy, THE 25.-Our old friend, tj
Dr. E. E. Jackson, the celebrated drug
gist of Columbia, takes rank, according
to the correspondent of the Journal of f
Commerce, with P. T. Barnum, of world a
wide fame, as a "curous" man. We b
have always thought that he would 9
wake up some fine morning and find s
himself famous, and get his name into d
the papers,

CHAnGE OF SCHEDULE.-The sched
ule of the Spartanburg and Union Rail b
Road has been changed for the sum- f
mer, commencing on Thursday, June r
1. The trains will run tri-weekly, a
making close connection witil the
Greenville and Columbia Rail Road
trains. The up train will run on Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday; down
train on Monday, Wednesday and Fri- s
day. d
RELGIous-We learn from the Rev. b
H. W. Kuhns that he has just received I
a letter from the Rev. Dr. Dosch, lately b
in session with the General Synod of t:
the Evangelical Lutheran Church, at d
Staunton, Va., that the next session c
will be held in Luther Chapel, New- il
berry, S. C., on the 1st Thursday in t
May, 1878. These meetings are held
once in every two years, and it is a de- 12
cade since the General Synod last met tJ
in this place.
MESSRS. MCCREXRY, LOVE & CO., U
continue to present an attractive and t]
profitable bill of fare in dry goods, I
shoes, &c., at thi lowest prices. -It ti
looks as if they have got to the very v
bottom, and that it is impossible for is
them to get any lower. This. being the C
case, and as delay is dangerous in that si
there is a chance of staple goods taking P
a start upward, now of couse is the very a
time to buy. A word to the wise is suf- t]
ficient. it. k

BAD. NEws FRox KnufAD's T. 0.- f<
The Kinard's T. 0. section of country I
has been completely cleaned out of tl
geese, as we have been informed by a s
citizen of that neighborhood. He tells y
us that sadness prevails, that the ladies
are in tears and make bitter complaint t<
of the depredations committed. We are v
sorry that the goose crop is going to he
short, especially if the young birds have
been taken, and doubly sorry that the fi
ladies are in trouble-our sympathies ti
are always stirred when anything goes tl
amiss with them, and the poultry. All I
is not right on the -goose. t1
THOSETUMBLERS.-The Union-Herald
man must have been l'ooking through a o
tumbler when he penned the Gutta is
Percha Tumbler story, and saddled it 1a
on a newspaper man. He should have 2
known better. As we have been accused 9
of practising the tumbler parlor trick, we s
take this occasion to say that the man t<
who attempted it and so signally failed ti
is popular railroad and not a news- r
paper man. We give him credit though b
by saying that he made but one trial ere I
he discovered that he was sold. Only I
one of the tumblers was broken, but s
the disappointment to him and his I
friends was great. s
t
CArALOGUE.-We acknowledge re
ceipt of a copy of Catalogue Newberry
College, Walhalla, S. C., for 1875-76,
handsomely printed, but bearing the
imprint of a Philadelphia printing a
house. It exhibits the College in a pros
perous and growing condition, which
all well-wishers- of the Institution will
be glad to know. The Commencement
exercises, as stated in last week's isue
begin on'the 11th, by the Baccalaureate
Address. The Address before the Lit
erary Societies will be delivered by (
Gen. A. C. Garlington, of Atlanta, Ga.
The railroad fare being reduced for this
occasion, it is confidently expected that
there will be a large number of visitors. ~
A tale which will bear repeating, and ,
one which has been told in the HERALD
time and again, is again brought to the
reader's attention. They will be pleased<
to hear it, too, for it will lead their
finds in a pleasant channel. It is sim
ply this-if any arficle in China,t
Crockery, Glass, Iron, Tin, Wood, Stone,
or composition used by housewives is
needed, the place to get it cheap is at
Kingsland & Heath's, under the Colum
bia Hotel, Columbia, S. C. No charge
is made for this information; it is given
gratuitously to benefit the readers of
this paper, and in consideration of the
desperate state of the money market.

A BIG FISH.-The party of gentle
men who went to the "cut oft" on the<
Saluda. last week had a goodl tirne, and
succeeded beyond the expectation of <
the friends who stayed at home. They
left Wednesday and returned Friday on
the down train, laden with fish spoils- 1
not spoiled fish-and highly elated at
their success. They caught somewhere
in the neighborhood of one hundred<
and twenty-five pounds, and among the
variety were several large grinnels, a]
species of fish partaking of the eel andI
red horse combined, and which has but
one big bone. One of th~e party cap-I
tured one which it is supposed would
weigh fifteen pounds. Since that time<
several gentlemen-some old grey
G. & C. R. R.-Mr. relot, acting pay
aaster for the Greenville & Columbia
tail Road, passed over the road last
reek, paying off the employees. About
'500 per month is required for this pur
ose. We learn that there are about
,ne hundred men employed at the
[elena shops. We are pleased to say
bat the road is now in fine condition,
oad bed, rolling stock, &c., being in
orough order.
SALE-DAY passed off quietly, very
sw persons in from the country. The
uctioneer's melodious voice was heard
ut one time, inviting the stragglers to
o with him across the rail road and
ecure bargains (?). There were no
runks-big. ones. A solitary blue
odled wagon with three mules stood
n the public square. One man came
i and requested his paper stopped as
Le had no prospect of paying in the near
iture-not a single renewal-no mo
.ey. Other transactions hardly worth
iention.
ABOUT THE TAxES.-The Comptrol
,r-General, in view of recent Circuit
ourt decisions, has ordered a suspen
on of proceedings for collecting by
istress, execution and sale in cases
here bills of the Bank of the State
ave been tendered for State tates of
875. Where parties have tendered the
ills of the Bank of the State for County
ixes, the privilege is allowed of with
rawing the same and of paying in
urrency without the penalty. We are
iformed that there are no cases under
2e latter clause in this County.
We state further that the sales of
d are continued from day to day by
ie Treasurer.
GREENVIILE HOTEL.-We take pleas
re in inviting attention to the card of
ie Greenville Hotel, of which Mis. S.
[. Breazeale, favorably known to the
avelling public through her connection
rith the Mansion House of Columbia,
the acceptable proprietor. The
reenville Hotel is an elegant, new
ructure, built on an improved modern
lan and furnished with all the latest
nd most approved appliances. As to
is lady's abilities in the line of hotel
eeping, it is needless in us to say any
iing in the way of recommendation,
)r she is already known far and wide.
is only necessary for us to acquaint
2e public as to where she is located
tisfied that when this is known she
rill be visited by former fi-iends and
atrons. The Greenville Hotel is loca
d in convenient distance of the Green
ille depot.
LMPORTANT NOTICE.-For the bene
t of delegates and others who will at
and the St. Louis Convention, we give
ie information furnished by Mr. A. B.
renn, General Travelling Agent of
de Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis
ailroad, that by and with the advice
f Senator Howell and Governor Smith,
f Georgia, that a special train, under
fr. Wrenn's superinter.dence, will
ave Atlanta at 4.10, p. in., Friday, the
3d of June, and arrive at St. Louis at
p. mn., ,Saturday, 24th. Parties de
iring tickets will write to Mr. Wrenn
asecure them. Fare for the round
iip from Atlanta, $25, tickets good to

BADLY FooLED.-A respectable look
g individual called in the other day
nd inquired for the editor. He wished
o have a little conversation with him;
nd as he had the appearance of a man
rho had corn for sale and well-to-do
enerally, work was thrown aside and
ireparations miade for business. Any
bing short of a year's subscription or a
ash ad. never entered our imagination.
)ffering him a seat we also sat. He
alled for a Greenville exchange-now
or an' ad. which he wished to copy
rm the paper. We sat patiently and
odid he. The time occupied in look
g for that ad. seemed very long, but
we waited for a half hour, while not a
vord was said. At length he arose and
hook himself, and said, "Ah! much
>bliged for the paper;, first I'~ve seen
ince .I left Greenville." Fancy our
eelings. Our opinion of that man is
hat he is a fraud, or an escaped crooked
vhiskey distiller. No man with a heart
is big as a new half dollar would have
icted in such a manner.
If you have Sick Headache take a dose of
)r. Bll's Vegetable Pills; we know you will
id relief.
SAD.-He was sitting on the curb in
'ront of Fant's drug store, waiting, as
ve thought, for the doors to open, for
he sigh which he erupted betokened
omething wrong; 'it was an internal,
leep-seated, physical agony, caused
'oim an overcharge of new garden peas
>r a mental pain tearing at the heart
trmgs and stopping the functions of
is gizzard. We felt sympathy for the
mfortunate youth and asked,-whysuch
olorous, agonizing sighs disturbed the
norning stillness? He looked up with
>ut deigning reply, and such a look.
Was it garden peas, or cast steel beef?
5o answer. Is there a woman at the
mottom of it? We could see a change in
als face at, this question, his blearedeyes
:>linked, his whiole frame underwent a
ionvulsive shudder, and his hands cir
mnovolved and clutched at the circum
mmbntae, but not a sound escaped
THANKS WITHOUT STINT.-We are
again under -obligations to Mrs. Jos.
Brown, who remembers us so repeated
ly and so kindly. Good rye bread is
highly esteemed by us and this lady
knows how to make it to a charm, and
what is better, a nice, crisp, brown loaf
is generally placed where we can find
it-and not only that but other things
of a lighter character. Thanks.
Mrs. L. R. Marshall has laid us under
obligations by sending to the folks at
home while we were absent a generous
supply of delicious c:eam, enough for
each and enough for all. Thanks
again.
"Pa says come 'round to the 'dug
out,' he has something for you,"-this
message came from Bro. White, the
lucky owner of the Mineral Spring.
We went, and hastened in going-it
was cream at 40 deg. below zero, and
in an atmospnere 10 deg. lower than in
the upper world. Thanks again.
STALK OF CoTToN.-Mr. Antoine
Buzhardt sent in on Monday a stalk of
cotton twelve inches high, on which
tlfere were two shapes. This is early,
and is the beginning of the end. We
confess inability to take pride in cotton.
In corn and small grain, however, our
interest is unabated. If the corn crop
turns out good all will be right.
And another, by Robt. Nance, color
ed, working on the plantation of Rev.
M. M. Royd. His cotton was planted
on the 26th of April, and he already
shows a stalk over twelve inches
high with distinct shapes. The cream
of Robt. Nance's report, however, lies
in the fact that he has a field of corn
which gladdens his heart whenever he
looks at it. The land being red, the
seed was planted early, and it now
stands in all its beauty, showing an
average of stalks over six feet high.
Three cheers for Uncle Mark's red land
orn, and the same number for Robt.
Nance, whose eyes fairly glistened when
e told the pleasing tale. We wait re
ports from other corn growers.
CAPT. J. F. SPECK.-This gentleman
left Newberry on Tuesday afternoon
ror Lincolnton, N. C., where he designs
locating. With sincere regret we no
Jice his departure, for we can illy afford
to losegood citizens and active, energetic
business men, all of which and more
be is, and it is a pity that the commu
ity did not give him a support com
mensurate 'with his'deserts. He goes
now to another field of operations and
commences a new role-that -of hotel
keeping-having leased the Lincolaton
Hotel, near to which is the celebrated
Burton's Spring, a mineral water that
has effected many wonderful cares-in
which undertaking we wish him a large
success. The situation of Linicolaton
as to altitude, which gives it a splendid
climate, makes it very desirable as a
place of summer resort, and in.connec
tion with the spring above named we
know.of no place better suited for the
invalid or pleasure-seeker. That the
Hotel will be well kept and attractively
fitted up, every one who knows Capt.
Speck will testify. He is not a man of
alf-measures--everything he does is
on the most liberal scale, and we can
assure the public that they will find in
him and his house everything that can
be expected. We take infinite pleasure
in commending him to the kind consid
eraton of the public. Newberry has
lost one of hermost enterprising busi
ness men, and Lincolnton is the gainer.
RICH LEQACY.
Dr. JAs. L. -GILDER will be remembered
by many of dur old citizens as a Physician of
great note in Newberry and Laurens Coun
ties. The Doctor has been in his grave many
years, but he left a valuable legacy behind
him, in the shape of Dr. GILDER'S LIVEn
PILLs. If you have a headache, take two
or three pills at bed time, and you will find
sure and permanent relief. If you are bilious
and feel bad generally, a good dose of these
Pills will perfectly relieve you.

A TRUE BIL.L-and one which calls
for stringent measures-is summed up
in the following list. Within a radius
of one and a half miles from the Sieg
Plantation, since planting time, we
learn that
Mrs. Fanny Glasg'ow, has lost two
cows,
Col. Renwick, two cows and two
hogs,
Mrs. Mary Ann Glasgow, three sheep,
Lambert Chandler, one cow,
Samuel Glenn and Elihu Whitman,
one yearling each,
Elijah Toland, colored, two hogs.
Frank Glenn, colored, one cow,
Anderson Ritchie, colored, two hogs
shot, but bacon saved,
Ned Renwick, colored, two hogs, and
Julia Renwick, colored, cow shot, leg
broken.
This catalogue of stealing embraces a
comparative small area, and we have
no doubt that even in this small com
pass there are other cases of which no
report has been made, and were each
case of this character which has occur
red in the County during the present
crop year made known to us, the list
would swell into fearful dimensions.
Now the question is what shall be done
to prevent this wholesale plunder of
stock. It is almost useless to attempt
to gain any address by law--as was
evidenced in a beef stealing case only a
few days ago, which, though there was
the strongest evidence, was thrown out
on the plea that it was insuffcient.
The remedy we take it cant only come
through the people themselves, who
must take the matter in their own hands
and mete out to these rascals who are
laying the country waste the punish

College.
ABoUT THE TOWN AND CoUNTY.
We start on this line with misgivings
-not a single item in view as yet.
Why don't somebody help us?
Since writing the- above we learn
that several of the most active cotton
buyers went on a fishing frolic to Salu
da.
One of the reasons why the merchants
generally are selling no goods is that
they do not advertise. If they would
let the people know what they lave in
store it would create a desire, and that
would revive trade. Try it.
The ice cream carrier with his pecu
liar hat, gave a little boy a dreadful
scare a few afternoons since. The pro
prietor may yet be prosecuted.
Everything is Centennial now a days,
and it is not surprising that there are
men who wish to make .their newspa
per accounts Centennial so as to be in
the fashion.
Chickens still continue very scarce,
and the few brought in are held too
high to be reached by ordinary folks.
The health of Newberry is uncom
monly good, and physicians have but
little to do.
New oats are coming in--twenty-five
cents per dozen bundles is offered.
There will be an abundance on the
market soon.
The stores in Newberry are kept in
apple pie order, and cleaner than in
years past, for the reason that the clerks
have little else to do. Advertising
might cause a change to c'ome over the
spirit of the- dream.
Are any of our readers making up
clubs to get a Weed Sewing Machind?
The time will soon expire.
Our farmers say they have put out
more potato slips this season than they
ever did before. There will be a boun
tiful supply of provisions this fall, and
the hard times will then be over.
No one from this point has gone* to
the Centennial as yet, nor is any one
getting ready.
Mr. John Hopkins Williams, aged
85 years, died at his residence, near
Chappell's Depot, on last Friday night.
It is suggested by a malicious imp
that the Odd Fellows appoint a com
mittee to keep the sheep and the goats
apart..
4 colored individual in his report the
other day as to the health of a good
friend of the HERALD, said he was "in
cruiting" slowly.
The rain Sunday night interfered
with the Church services-very few
pe.rsons ventured out. A big season of
rain fell during the day.
An immense quantity of oats and
wheat was cut ,during the last week,
and portions of both will soon be on the
market.
A Dominick rooster and a hen just
through setting were on sale Monday,
together with a quart of cherries. Trade
begins to brisken.
We ask for information of our good
friend W. L., if his corn is so green this
year that lightning bogs can be seen in
it in day time. Our deep interest in
the corn question is excuse for asking.
The public are informed that our al
ligator has escaped and cannot be
found. We considerately warn little
people to keep out of its way as it has
a preference for tender human flesh.
As it may be making its way to Bush
river our friends are requested to look
out for. it..
Sheriff Carrington has returned from
the Albany penitentiary-he took the
Centennial on the wing, and pronounces
it huge.
Another Ice Cream Saloon has been
started-this public benefactor is Caro
line Gourdine-place, above Crede's
bakery. One saucer and a slice of cake
for 2~5 cents.
Do not neglect every advantage in
the seasons to utilize every spot of
ground for sowmng good seed of some
kind or other-cabbage and potato
plants .will pay handsomely,
The week has been unusually dull,
farmers sticking closely to their farms
in harvesting oats and wheat-both of
which crops are large.
A good and easy time may be looked
for next fall, for, the provision crop will
be large, and there will be little neces
siyt-u on
en any enrn.
Having taken such good hold on corn
planting, we would like to see the far
mers of Newberry concentrate their en
ergies on the making of manures and
stop the great leak at present existing.
The money which goes out for fertili
zers impoverishes the County. Come
down to the work farmers.
Cheering account of crops from Whit
mire's settlement.
We would state to our readers-some
of whom are in arrears-that though
we have ceased to dun, yet we are none
the less in need of -money. We trust
they will appreciate our silence and pa
tient waiting, and that whenever in cir
cumstances to settle they will hasten to
our relief.
SILVER CHANGE.-We 'quite agree
with the St. Louis Republican in think
ing that silver change will give no little
trouble, if it does not demoralize society.
This is what that paper says:
When a man walks much, the inside
of his legs will be chafed raw. When
less than a dollar is to go by mail it
will have to be converted first into pos
tage stamps. When you run for a street
car money will fly out of your p9ckets
at every jump. When you tell your
wife that you have no money, she will
say that you lie, for she heard it jingle.
It will be difficult to pay a man a quar
ter by mistake for a half. When you
are in a hurry, the storekeeper will
to have weigh the coin in his hand and
sound it twent-five times on the coun
ter before he can determine whether it
is good. The baby will swallow a
dime a day. A boy with a quarter will
lose it in a crack in two minutes, from
which no amount of coaxing with forks
and chips can iecover it. Sleepy men
will put buttons and lozenges into con

Botany is a division of natural sciende
which treats of plants, and a study of Vege
table Physiology must be the foundation of
botanical knowledge-a study only possible
by the improvements in the microscope and
in organic chemistry. As plants are not
scattered haphazard over the earth, botanical
geography must be studied, and, with this,
plant-history. Botany may be applied to the
wants nf every-day life, as in Agriculture,
Horticulture, or Medical Botany. Animals
often exhibit a marvelous instinct in select
ing .medicinal herbs, and an observation of
their habits has often, even in the present
time, led to most valuable discoveries. And
should man, with his knowledge and ap
pliances, fail to discover less than the brute ?
It is of Medical Botany we would speak, or
of the HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in
Southern Nubia, the Flower of which changes
its color with every change of the atmos
phere. The remarkable changes and varia.
tions of this Plant and Flower have been for
years our special study, resulting in the dis
covery of its.possession of wonderful medical
properties, the existence and value of which
have heretofore been entirely unknown to
medical science. After much labdr and scien
tific investigation, we have succeeded in ex
tracting its peculiar medicinal principles,
which is a specific and cure for all diseases
of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a perma
nent cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion., Spleen'
Constipation, Jaundice, and all Bilious-.Com
plaints. Of course we cannot send a living
Flower of this Plant to all who read of Hepa
tine; but to all who will send their address
to MEERELL & COUDmi, Philadelphia, Pa.,
with a three-cent stamp for return postage,
we will send FREE a fac-simile of the Flower,
that-will change and color just the same as
the real Hepatine Plower.

The Evil Fruits of Weak Diges
tion.
There is no pathological fact more clearly
ascertained than that the most formidable
phases of nervous disease are directly trace.
able to imperfect digestion. Insomnia, with
its train of direful consequences, proceeds
more frequently from weakness of the stom
ach than frpm any other cause. Mere seda
tives are powerless to cure nervousness, and
soon cease to palliate its symptoms. The true
way to strengthen the nervous system is to
invigorate the digestive and assimilative or
gans, upon whose unobstructed action its
equillibrium is absolutely dependent. The
daily use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
do more to brace and soothe the weakened
and irritated nerves, and induce sound, re
freshing sleep-nature's grand eatholicon,
than all the so-alled nervines to be found in
the pharmnacopceia or out of it. A wineglass
ful of the Bitters should-be takeni before each~
meal. 23-4t.
