THE CITY BY THE SEA. Our President-Charleston Market-Sulli van's Island-The Floral Fair Satisfying Dinners, &c. Home again, after an eight days' ab sence, spent in the city by the sea, the pleasant experience of which we give the reader a brief account. We left Newberry Monday, the 17th, and thanks to the courteous President of the C. & G. and L. lines of R. R., who gave the Newberry crowd an elegant new lan rens coach, the ride was made straight through to within a few miles of the city, a change of coaches being made necessary in consequence of the axle boxes not being satisfied with the tire man's firing fired up on their own ac count. Who would not have a PRESIDENT OF ONE'S OWN, and one so accommodating and cour teous to his own friends as Mr. Robt. L. McCaughrin. This stoppage .put us out of time and in consequence the hundred and fifty excursionists did not get in until ten instead of the schedule time, nine; but the good people of Charleston had not yet retired to their various night roosts, and the party were taken in, some tead. others coffeed, and those who preferred stronger decoctions were wined, liquored and beered, at least we supposed so, our party of seven unanimously voting for tea. Thanks to a good and kind cousin, W. F. S., who saw us safely housed, and also saw to our baggage, our minds being at rest, we soon gave rest to our tired bodies by seeking "nature's sweet re storer" in preparation of the NEXT DAY'S PROGRAMME of enjoyments. It would tax cur prin ters at this late day-that on which the HERALD goes to press-to enumerate all of the delightful experiences enjoy ed-only a few will be noted. The first place visited was THE MARKET, and though many Charlestonians decry it, we found it abounding in poultry, fine meats, vegetables, fish and fruits, among the latter, the rich golden ba nana hung in the greatest profusion. This delicious fruit, too, was cheap, and could be bought at 25 cts. per dozen and half of that number thrown in for good measure, and a whole bunch for $1. Of course the ruralists invested largely and continuously In bananas. The retail stores on King Street, the fashionable and popular promenade of the ladies, was the next attraction and was done cheaply, our supply of green backs being limited; among these nets made and displayed to catch the unwa ry countrymen we strolled Into the "FAMOUS" CLOTHING STORE managed by our old schoolmate Mr. Stanhope Johnston; this stora has a wide reputation, made by its low prices and its admirable system of advertising in the News and Courier--a few of the latter would be appreciated by the HERALD and no doubt redound to the good of the "Famous." The next stop was at the splendid family grocery of R. S. Cathcart. familiarly known in the up-country as Bob. It was a pleasant sight, the tempting array of goods-and by the way he promised to send the HERAI.D a card, which we have no doubt be will do. Then followed A CIIARLESTON DINNER at cousin W. F. S.'s, tue recollection of which warms the stomach at this writ ing, then Sullivan's Island, with its de licious breezes from off old ocean, its tide ebbing and flowing, and one can not help recalling the words, "What are thd wild waves saying, brother, the whole day long." Every visitor to Charleston goes to Sullivan's Island. A return, a hasty supper', and then the Floral Fair. We feel inconmpetent to do justice on this point, it was U EAUTIFU'L, CHARMING, DELIGHTFULL. flowers of every hue and variety, and made uip into every conceivable shape, filled the large tables while the walks between were filled with lovely women and exquisitely gotten up gentlemen. t16 whole. being lighted with the elee tric light. Such a bewilderingly beau tiful scene is not often witnessed, and our old eyes suffered terribly in gazing mor,e at the beautiful faces and forms of the fair promenaders than at the dis play of Flora. Two nigh4s were devo ted to the Fair, all that we could spare. Next followed two days in the country -on the Cooper river with brother, sister, nieces and nephews, and meals in the open air, alternating in sight of the -dancing waters of the river, and under Ithe wide spreading live oak, hung with fits festoons of moss. This was a rare delight. We would like to mention -the name of the good friend who drove us up the shell road to this place, and who gave us the better part of two days' -valuable time, but being a modest gen -tleman and the father of a large and in teresting family, he begged us not to Sdo so, and we reluctantly comply. At his comfortable habitation, our party partook of ANOTHER OF THOSE DIN~NERIS, the memory of which is pleasant to dwell upon. Speaking of dinners, we feel constrained to give one thought to that squared up to on Saturday, it completely filled our cup and the sto machs of our party, and even now there is a delicious satisfaction in thinking of it. After this feast, a ride down Rut fledge Avenue, through Wentworth and SMeeting Streets, past the City Hall, the Court House, rendered notorious at this time by its illegal election trials, the rGuard House. St. Michael's Church, and the splendid residences and lovely gar (lens, down to Charleston's pride, the SBattery. in company with Capt. S., the 'efficient superintendent of the City Rail Way, and we will here express thanks to this gentleman and to Col. Riggs, the p)resident of this popular road for cour tesies extended and an unlimited sup ply of tickets. The Charleston people should b. hiappy in being able to feed and entertaiui their country relatiops apd friends who subsist for the best part of their time on fried chicken, so royally. 5We wait for another excursion. But the wrath of the printer is growing hot, whbo says we have gone far enough, so we will conclude by adding that the en ~tire eight days were alike, and as plea sant as possible. Good bye reader, and the next time our railroad magnates put their heads to'gether, and afford the public an oppcrtunity to excurt cheaply come and go with us down to the city by the sea. ~.County Treasurer. ~Capt. Andrew H. Wheeler has been appointed by the Governor Treasurer for Newberry County. Capt. Wheeler ie, a resident of Prosperity, is a farmer, and has been Trial Justice since Dee 24. 1878. At the primary election in 1880 he was a candidate for Treasurer; - in the first race he and Capt. Whites - were the foremost candidates, but nei ther had a mujority. They ran a sc-* yond time against each other. Capt. Whites getting 675 votes, Capt. Wheelei tI603. Capt. Wheeler is a younger bro .u.er oer n B. Wheele. Mad Dogs A large spotted hound made his ap pearance on the- public square Friday afternoon. From the way he acted it was thought that he was mad. He at tacked Mr. J. S. Hait's dog, and bit at it several times; he tried to bite Mr. J. H. Ruff's terrier "Gid." A crowd of about fifty men and boys got after and chised him first to Mr. J. B. Werts', and thence to Mr. J. S. Hair's, where they killed him, having shot him six teen times. Before corning to town this dog nad bitten two dogs on Mr. W. Y. Fair's place. Mr. Fair had the dogs killed; and Mr. Hair has tied up his dog. A dog belonging to Mr. W. H. Ed dy, of Jalapa, ran off Saturday night and went through the neighborhood at tacking every dog be came across. He bit one belonging to Mr. Carr Vance, one belonging to Mr. F. Z. Wilson, and two or three belonging to colored men. He finally tackled a bull dog on Mr. T. B. Chalmers' plantation, and the bull dog killed him. Mr. Wilson and the colored men have killed their dogs that were bitten, and Mr. Vance has penned his up to await results. We understand that the dog bit one of Mr. Eddy's chil dren Thursday. House-breaking and Larceny. A white man named James Sadler, who lives near Jolly Street, was ar rested Thursday night on a warrant is sued by Trial Justice Fair, charging him with breaking into the house of a colored man on Mr. Jno. Neel's place and stealing therefrom a pair of boots, a watch, a bat, &c. When arrested he had on the boots, hat and watch. He claims he bought them from a colored man. When the constable went to his house to arrest him he closed the door and threatened to shoot the first man that entered. After awhile he opened the door, invited the constable in and told him he could search. The constable found that he had kindled a big fire and burned several articles in it. In the ashes he found a broken sugar dish and other broken crockery, and hidden un der the bed a feather bed that were identified as property stolen from Mr. G. A. Mills' house several weeks ago. A warrant was therefore obtained against him for breaking into Mr. Mills' house. He has had a preliminary bear ing on both charges of housebreaking and larceny; and has been bound over to the Sessions Court on both charges. "Soulless Corporations." Mr. Cree, in his lecture Monday night, stated that the railroads give $32,000 a year to the Y. M. C. A. Yes, and these "soulless corporations" do many other kind and unselfish things. They carried thousands of tons of provisions to the yellow fever suffer ers two years ago, free; they carried tons upon tons of articles to the Atlanta Exposition, free; and while the Con gressional Committee that attended Garfield's funeral sent in a bill of 1. 700 for wines, champagnes and whis key, the railroad that carried the sick President from Washington to Long Branch at an immense expense and great trouble, we understand, sent in no bill. And they do kind things on a small scale as well as on a large one. Only a few days ago we saw a poor old "Confed.," penniless and broken down in health, begging in vain for small contributions to pay his fare to a cer tain city, where he was expecting some benefit if he could get there. We saw him again soon after, and he had in his hand a note which said: Pass --from --to--, on account of charity. And the C. & G. R. R. is now offer ing the citizens of Newberry and Edge field Counties $1,000 to help auihl a bridge at a point on the Sailuda eight or nine miles from the railroad. Y. M.C. A. Mr. Thos. K. Cree, of New York, the Traveling Secretary of the Internation al Committee of the Young Men's Chris tian Association, visited New berry the first part of the week. He conducted a meeting at. the Methodist Church Monday night, and Tuesday afternoon and night at the Baptist Church. The attendance was large, and the meetings were interesting and instructive. Mr. Cree is thorobghly devoted to his work; he is full of enthusiasm without any tinge of fanaticism, and he is no doubt doing great good. There is an earnest, manly sincerity in his talk~s that cannot fail to impress an audIence favorably. The following facts may give some idea of the influence that the Associa tion exerts in this countr f, and of the work it is doing: There are in the Uni ted States one thousand Associations, with a membership of one hundred. thousand. These Associations all have reading rooms, provided with the best literature, sacred and profane, as well as the best periodicals and newspapers, where all young picn arc invited. They are thus offering an attraction to young meni that will keep many away from barrooms and billiard tables and other places of dangerous amusement. The railroads of the country pay $32, 000 every year to the Association, know ing the good that is being done among the young men who ure in their employ as well as those in other walks of life. The influence of the Association is felt in every p;rt of the globs. Personal. Mrs. Peizer, of Charleston, is visiting Mrs. R. D. Smart. Geo. S. Mower, Esq., returned Mon day from Florida. -Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Chalmers are both out again, and at their offices. Dr. G. WV. Gartmany and family left yesterday for their ne w home in Sumter.

Johnstone and wife, of An derson, stopped over Friday on their return from Charleston, and spent a day with his father Mr. Silas Johnstone. Mr. Jno. WV. Scott, of Liberty H-all, who has been in Charleston as a petit juror in the United States Courr, got excused last week for the remainder of the term, and returned home Saturday. Mr. George Chace, who is getting up data for a snap of North Carolina and South Carolina to be published by Q. W. Gray & Son, of Philadelphia, spent two weeks in Newberry, and left Toes day for Abbeville, Miss Lizzie White and Mr. Jno. W. Taylor went up to Greenville Monday to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of Good Templars; the former as an offieer of the Grand L.odge, the hater as a delegate from Kosciusko Lodgre.

C The past week has been so dull that a dog fight would have created the wildest excit'ment. r The Debating Club held no meeting Monday night, as the members desired to attend Mr. Cree's lecture. May 10th is the day usually observed in Newberry as Decoration Day. Will t the day be observed this year? Mr. D. R.

Mr. Win. Watkins' horses ran away with his buggy in town Monday. The buggy was upset, and Mr. Watkins was bruised abonit the head. He made a narrow escape. The Newberrians who attended the Floral Fair in Charleston last week had t a good trip of it. One young man says < there were "dead oodles of pretty wo- c men" down there. More Lucerne should be raised. Mr. s Christian says that an acre of it hasi been worth $100 to him the past year. z Itneeds only one planting, and it gets I better every year. t The Columbia Teoman of Monday contained the following piece of start ling information ; "Gov. Hagood wais among the worshipers at the Baptist Church yesterday."I It is gentle and soothing in its action, and restores the bowel4 to their r.ormal c functions.

Patent Office Report of 1850i. The police 'are trying to invent an apparatus that will enable them to cateb a dog without the dog's catching them. A long pole with a loop on the end of it might fill the reemirements. Good rains throughout the County the past week, and vegetation is boom ing. Wheat and oats are the best for many years; gorn is looking well ;and ( cotton is beginning to come up. ] The candidates are coming to theI surface in Edgefield County. Last week's papers had the cards of five: three for Clerk, one for Probate Judge and one for School Commissioner. A farmer was in town Saturday brag ging about his high corn. If he wants to see real high corn let him go to a store and he will find it-at $1.30 per bushel, cash. How is that for high? .The Smyrna Church building has un dergone pretty thorough repairs, and a new coat of paint is now being put on. The ladies of the congregation had the work done at an expense of about S250. The Newberry Circuit Convention will be held at Ebenezer Church Satur (ay and Sunday. The occasion prom ises to be an interesting one, and there will no doubt be a large gathering. Twenty-five private residences have been built in the town of Newberry, within the last six years, besides a Col lege building. two large hotels, an Op. era [louse, and a large number of stores. Mr. Waldrop says it is a mistake about his wheat having rust; his is rust proof. The report last week was not given by Mr. L. F. Longshore; it was our own mistake-unintentional, of course. It is a healthy sign that people are taking a great deal more interest in crops and labor-saving macbinery than in politics. When the proper time comes for political work they will be found ready. Mr. Geo. T. Speake, of Speake &_ Bro., Kinard's, was in town yesterday These gentlemen are meeting with en I nneraing sucessa in the sala of the elebrated "Eclipse" engine and other nachinery.
