a healthy sum, enough to make a man
comfortable for life. Mr. B. left for
Schroda, near Posen, Prussia, his native
town, last week, and will be absent
about three months, and in all proba
bility he will take Paris with her great

be able to tell us something about that
gentleman. We wish him a safe and
pleasant voyage there and back.

offences and number unknown, are out

THos. F. GRENEKER, editor of the
Newberry Herald is one of the oldest
printers in the country, and there is no
disputing the fact, he prints one of the
best newspapers in the State.-Aiken
Courier.Journal.
Our friend McRAY looks through
glasses darkly when he speaks of age;
he has certainly lost his family record.
Look it up grand-papa, and ask THOMP
soN with a p, of the Keowee Courier,
McKERRALT., of the Star, A. A.. Gi.
BEr, H. L. DARR, Dad EVANS, Uncle
Bon, and a score of others, who might
easily remember when we were chris
tened. He should have attended the
last meeting of the Press Association
Maj. Melchers was there. In conside
ration of our reputation among the
young ladies, we trnst the Press gang
will prove to.the Courier-Journal man
that he has done us' great injury. As
to the compliment paid to the paper,
modesty forbids a word.
A WARNING.-It is time that the Be
gister was protecting itself against those
who request t?e gratuitous use of its
news or adveriing columns for chari
table or other purposes, and then have
their job or other profitable printing ex
ecuted in other establishments. In fh
ture, we shall be forced to violate the
golden rule so far as to do upt others
as they do unto us.
So speaks the Columbia Register, and
we doubt not every newspaper publish
er in the State has sufficient reason to
endorse it. Quite a nmpber l4tely have
expressed themselves on this and kin
dred grievances, and as tired of doing a
vast amount of work for nothing. It
is time the Press show that -newspapers
are not public property, subject to be
preyed upon, and nsed as a convenience.
Our experience has been, that the more
Ohe publisher dpes of this kind of work
the less is his paper appreciated when
pay is demanded. We go in for pay,
with the privilege of bestowing charity
as the circumstances warrant.
CONSCENCE..-The question is often
aske4, hpw 1papy subscribprs bave you?
It is generally asked through idle cu
riosity. Nor do publishers answer it.
So frequent of late has the query been
propounded, that we have been led to
think that there is a cause underlying,
and the conclusion is that conscience is
at wor4. About one of te4 who desire
information only 4pe pukscibers, the
nine are readers who belong to the class
of borrowers. They feel that they are
cheating the printer, but each one ima
gines that he is the only guilty one, and
judging by his great appreciation of the
paper, and recognizing its claims on the
public, thinigs that every body else acts
on the square by paying for it. Tbis is
a mistake ye sinful borrasers. You
out-number the paying readers largely,
and if one half of you would act on the
square, the publisher would be able to
sleep in peace. glease consider it, and
let us have your names. We know of
individuals and families who get all of
their reading in this way. Any man
can lay by four cents a week to pay for
a year's subscription.

A LIVELY CHIASE AFTER A DESPE
RAnO.-Friday. Connerly McSwain,
olored, went into Mr. Wmn. C. John
son's yard, while the male members
were away, and threatened to beat a
olored woman living in the yard. She
shut the door against him and he broke
open the window, tore up her clothing,
smashed things generally, and then
gave the woman a severe beating. Mr
Jno. Bass, hearing the uproar, went
over and stopped him. He was arrest
ed and carried before Trial Justice Car
lisle, who gave him the full benefit of
the law-thirty days for malicious mis
chief and thirty for assault and battery.
Constable Hlolman carried him to jail,
but when he got into the yard he made
an efort to get away. The Constable
drew his pistol and threatened to shoot,
The prisoner jerked the pistol from his
hand and broke. He ran through Mr.
Smith's oat patch, down by the~ colored
Baptist Church, up Scott's Creek to Cal
houn Street, and up that street by the
College to Mr. Jno. S. Fair's front gate,
all the time a crowd after him and an
other attempting to head him. There
they overtook him. Mr. Jno. Lindsay
had his Remington Rifle, unloaded, but
with bayonet on, and Mr. Fair a navy
revolver. These could scarcely bring
him to terms. He drew his pistol on
them and on Constables Holman and
Lo-ac. He inally1 submitted, and
PIcNic.-The picnic of the Newberr3
Rifles and the pupils of the Femal(
Academy came off in Mr. Cline's grov
Friday. Nearly everybody in towr
was present, besides a large number oj
ladies and gentlemen from the sur
rounding country. A plank floor wa.
laid under the shade of the trees and t
lively .dance was kept up during the
greater part of the day. The most in
teresting feature of the occasion was the
target shooting by the members of the
Newberry Rifles. Twenty-two of the
company entered the list for the prem
inms, which were: For the best average
of three shots, a white silk badge; see
ond best, a red badge; for the best sin
gle shot, a blue badge; for the poorest
shot, a leather badge. The Committee
of Judges were Capt. A. P. Pifer, Maj.
Geo. W. Clotworthy and W. T. Tar
rant, Esq. The target contained alter
nate rings of black and white, the outer
ring being forty inches in diameter,
and there being fourteen rings, the
"&buljls eye" pounting ifteen. Distance
one hundred and fifty yards. The re
sult of the shooting is as follows (count
ing from the outer ring inwards,) the
best possible shot being 15:

Mr. Scholtz made the best average

Mr. HoTusby and Mr. Taylor tied on
the second best average shot. They
tried it over, taking one shot each, Mr.
Hornsby making 13 and MF. Taylor 5.
Mr. Hornsby also made the best single
shot of the day. Messrs. Ramage, Lind
say anc Mooggaq tied on 0. They
tried it pyer, t th e following result:
Ramage, 5, 7, 0; Lindsay, 8, 3. 7;
Moorman, 0, 7, 18. So Mr. Ramage
got the leather badge. He wears it
with a good grace, having the consola
tion to know that he has more room for
improvement than any of the contest
ants. The badges were presented to
the successful competitors by Capt. Pi
fer, with a few appropriate remarks.
The dinner was a good one and abun
dant. The party broke.up about sun
set. After tea many of the young pec
plo reassembled in "Thespian Hall"
and resumed the "light fantastic,"
which they kept up till midnight.
A choice lot of Teas, at H. A. Burris'.

Prof. Kelly is now taking the 'phizzes'

Jno. W. Furgerson, Esq., of Laurens,
was in town several days last week on
professional business.
Capt. Whites, Tax Colle'etor, left for
romer's on Monday, and expects to
return Friday with a bag full of money.
Brigadier Clotworthy lingered here
many days, the pie nic, with its fried

Capt. Milledge Lipscomb, of Ninety.

ad a good time.
Mr. H. H. Blease has been heard
from; he is in Tennessee, and on the
track of Hill who ran off with his horse
and drove himx to death.
Mr. Screven, of Columbia, paid New
berry a visit the latter part of the past
week, and was much pleased with the
people and the business look.
Mr. L.'.4. East was in town last week
and rmade a full hand at the pic nic.
He thinks Newberry the nicest place in
the world, and the girls the most cap.
tivating.
Rev. B. F. Porter, one of the chief
movers in the Modus scheme was in
Newberry a week ago, urging the colk
ored people to emigrate to Liberia.
Several colored people from this Coun
ty tried that some years ago. Those
who could came back, and their report
was not calculated to induce others to
go. The Newberry darkies don't take
much stock in the scheme, Ask Wmn.
Hawkins, one of the returned emigrants,
what he thinks of Liberia.
AN INSTITUTION.-There are many
places of interest in Columbia, and vis
itors to that city should not omit to
visit any of them, Not the least in im
portance and attractiveness is an insti
tution on Main Street, immediately op.
posite the Columbia, which for the con
venience of the public is kept open from
six o'clock in the morning until nine
o'clock at night, every day in the week,
Sundays excepted. It will well repay
a visit. The great Paris Exposition
no doubt will present greater attrac
tions, but the distance and expense will
prevent mnany from going there. Not
so as regards the place alluded to here,
and which is under the direction and
control of Maess Kingslanr1 & Heath.

The weather,
Is warm again.
Can't speak good of it
When it freezes in May.
And gives Cotton congestion,
Which leads us to remark sadly,
That that much mentioned 'old lady,
hit the nail square on the head,
When she said it would frost in y(
merry month of May.
Several witnesses in various parts o:
the county testify that it did frost
Mr. A. H. E. Sheck for one, he sa
it three times. Col. Renwick testifies
also.
It might not have happened if the
old lady aforesaid had been more pru.
dent.
In olden times the people used tc
stone prophets for less offences ; we dc
not recommend such treatment,
Still something should be done to pre
vent such things, and make people care
ful how they talk,
For it will never do to have an entire
community demoralized and kept on
tenter books, looking for an untimely
frost wlich will knopk their garden4
into so many cocked hats.
Uncle Solomon, Newberry's ex-post
master of pleasant memory would ne
ver have made such a prediction, he
knew the consequenoes,
Our apology for occupying so much
space in the above remarks is that the
occasion demanded it, and the old lady
alone is to blamd. Next
Wheat is not doing well, many far
mers report rust.
The cool we4ter and rains baye been
productive of colds.
Now is the time for the Herald, cot
ton stalks are coming in.
The Bush River pic-nic comes off
Saturday, and promises to be a big af
The genial Biggs is having a good
time. He handles the ribbons in lively
style.
Heavy fall of rain on Sunday after
noon, and so far as heard from it was
general.
The road between the Helena shops
and Mr. S. C. Merchant's is in very bad
condition. -
One of our Bush river farmers has
brought in a cotton shape. Where is
T. M.P.?
Never reserve -your good manners
for company, but be equally polite at
home and abroqd.
Corn is looking fine, and stands where
ever heard from are good. We may
look for plenty of bread.
Do you know that the world is bigger
than you think it is, and you are smal
er than you think you are? Two stub
born facts.
As the Herald is not paying a large
dividend, we feel tempted to become a
candidate for a good fat office. Please
nominate us.
A poor dog, placed in deep water,
with a twenty-four pound sand-bag
swung to his caudal appendage, is in as
bad a predicament as a hungry country
editor with too many unpaid subscrip
tions on his books.
Worms have cut down large areas of
cotton in certain sections of this county.
We hear of one farmer who has 'been
compelled to re-plant a fifty acre field,
and of another who had to replant a
patch of ten acres.
The community is called upon to as
sist Dr. Strother Pope in mourning the
death of his dog Rip, maliciously killed
by shooting. Rip was gentle~ and kind,
and like other dogs, his tail hung down
behind.
Next Sale-day we hope to see a large
number of the patrons of the Herajd,
and trust they will bring a few green
backs with them. On that opcasioni it
is also hoped that we will get a goodly
number of new subscribers.
Speaking of pig we are minded to say
that Mrs. McK. furnished a noble spe
cimen. As she never does anything by
halves, the carcass was served whole,
tail and all, and stuffed in felicitous
style.
The best eatists at the Pic Nic on Fri
day last were a. high-standing lawyer,
a millionaire dry goods dealer, a genial
Baltimore drummer, a lively drover,
and the Mollohon hardware dealer.
Their capacities for roast pig cannot be
excelled.
The execution done by the half grown
boys on the cold collation at Cline's
grove was marvelous to behold. They
were sharp in getting favorable posi
tions, they always are. This is right,
boys, take care of No. 1, what matters
it if bigger and better looking folks
have to stand at a distance.
Chapter second
Husband, who is that man at the gate ?
Hush, my love, 'tis the candidate.
Husband, why can't he wQrk like you?
Has h e notling iat home to do?
My dear, wheneyer a man is down,
No cash at home, no credit in town,
Too stnpid to preach andl too proud to beg,
Too timid to roh and too lazy to dig,
Then over his horse his legs he flings
And to the dear people this song he sings;
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
Ah iit fits my fist as no other can.
.The horny hand of tlie working man."
AN ASTONISHING FACT.
A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
of intelligent and valuable people is
ost alarming, making life actually a
burden instead of a pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for
this, if you will only throw aside preja.

Y. M. C. A.-The Anniversary Cele
bration of the Young Men's Christian
Association of Nqsberry, came off in
the Baptist Church, Thursday evening,
the 16th. Mr. L. C. Moore, the retiring
President, made a report of the work
done by the Association since its organi
zation here April 24, 1876. The Asso
ciation, besides its Sunday afternoon
services in their hall, have held reli
gions services at Ebenezer and Helena
-Ebenezer has been discontinued re
centlv on account of regular preaching
there. The Sons of Temperance have
presented the Association with a book
case and some books, which they pro
pose to use as a nucleus for a library.
Arrangements are now in progress for
fitting up 4 reading-room. The, Asso
clation has experienced great difficulty
in raising the necessary funds to carry
on its work successfully; whatever has
been contributed has been done, with
vet-y few exceptions, by the members
themselves. The ladies have given the
Association much eneQuragelent by at
tending their meetings and by material
aid.
Addresses were delivered by A. C.
Jones, W. W. Hodges, L. C. Moore,
James Packer, R. H. Greneker and
Rev. L. Broadus, FroAi . Aroadus'
