Damnaged by Hail. On Tuesday, of last week, a part of Capt. W. W. Riser's farm was visited witra severe hail storm, and a field of his best cotton was seriously in jured. Boils nearly as big as guinea eggs were beaten off in great numbers. It will be remembered that Capt. Ri sp's cotton was risddled by hail last year just when it 'was most promising-; and it is somewhat strange that the.two bai storms should follow the same course. Mr. D. D. Davis, This g&ntlemanl favorably known to many persons in this y>,unty, having traveled extensively in the exercise of his calling, the repairing of watches and clocks, in which occupation he acquired not only a reputation as a good worker but a reliable man, is now permanently located at Camilla, -Ga.,. and doing business as a watch maker and jeweler. His success in business no doubt is due to the fact that he has been a constant reader' of the HERALAD for the past five years. Success to him. Catalogues. We have before us a catalogue of Williamston Female College, for the session ending June 21st, 1883. This school has been remarkably success ful uder the manaemen~t of Dr. Lan der, who introduced the "One Study" plan, and the prospects of the institu tion are bright. We have received also a catalogue of the Greenville Military Institute, popularly known by the niame of the Principal, Capt. Patrick. This is an excellent institution and every way worthy of patronage. The total num ber of Cadets in attendlance last year was 77. The next session will open on the 12th, of September. Land Sales.

"A -Prophet Honored in His- Own Country Some people are wedded to the fool ish notion that there is no excellence in anythingthat does not bear a foreign mark. "'Tis distance that lends en chantment to the view." But we are living in a praetgal age. High-sound ing names were once of much avail, but they are found now to be empty things.. Merit is the guinea stamp that indicates true worth. Here is a renedy that stands the.testsof experience. As gold grows brighter by usage, so is this medicine the more appreciated as it becomes better knOwn. The_ large and increasing sales of Norman's Neutralizing Cordial effected in the little State of South Carolina, the home of this wonderful reme(ly, is the surest proof that a prophet is honored in his own country. Rev.S. S. Rahn. The English Lutheran. Church in Augusta was particularly fortunate in securing the services of Rev. S. -S. Rahn in the establishment of the church in this community. He is by no means an ordinary man, and is highly regarded in literary as well as ecclesiastical circles. He is a man of great mental power and a reader of fine elocutionary qualities. He- came to. Augusta from the Lutheran College in Newberry, where he was the popu lar and gifted Professor of Greek. As a classical scholar he is profound and eminent, and his pulpit manner is dig nified and pleasing; The English Lutherans of Augusta will soon have a church building as wel as a line congregation, and the call ig of Rev. Rahn as the first pastor will, do more than anything else> to ward strengthening and building up this young church.-Augusta News. Attempt to Burn the Newberry Hotel. Yesterday morning t. ween eleven and twelve o'clock an. effort was made to burn the Newberry Hotel, which was as bold as it was dastardly. The fire was kindled in an unoccupied dark room, and its presence was made known by the crackling of the flames, and the smoke gushing through the transom of the room into the passage. When the room was entered a pine box and a split-bottom chair, together with a pine plank, were in flames. The box contained the charred remains of kindling. These articles and another chair standing against the first, which was almost consumed, were evidently brought in by the villain who kindled the lire, the room having been left entirely vacant by the proprietor. The room is easily accessible from the rear of the Hotel and from the steps lead ing up to the News office. When the fire.was discovered, Mr. Chase, the pro pdetor of the Hotel was absent, his wife was sick, and the Hotel was com paratively deserted, most of our citi zens having been attracted to the rear of the Court House, where the fire engine was at work. There is no doubt that this was a fiendship attempt to .add Newberry Hotel to the list of buildings in ruins. Messrs. Pool and Schumpert have offered a reward of two hundred dol lars, and it is to be hoped that the scoundrel will be apprehended. The Picnic at New Chappel On last Saturday was a mixed pic nic and Woman's Missionary meeting, and they mixed nicely. The ladles of this church had set apart this day for a-grand rally of their Missionary So ciety. Bright and early the good people of No. 8, began to gather, anid by eleven o'clock quite a crowd wa:s assembled in the church. The serviees were con ducted by the Rev. Manning Brown, in a more than usually felicitous man ner. Thue report of the W. M1. S., at this place was read, showing the Society to be in a prosperous condition and the ladies fully awake to their duty. Addresses in behalf of the Society were delivered by D.O0. Herbert, Esq1. and Thos. S. Moormnan, Esq. The' services were concluded by a collec tion, taken up by the ladies themselves., in the interest of the W. 31. S. It worked well. The next thing in order was the pic nic dinner, on cloths spread on the ground under the shade of the trees. The New Chappel ladies are famous for dinners of this sort. The viands were tempting enough to satisfy the most fastidious. After dinner everybody felt free to enjoy themselves according to their own notions, and the young people roamed the woods, engaged in such fa inating games as "mumble the peg" &., and whiled away- the fiying hours as only young people can. The day camne to an end ; the pic nic was over; and a delightful rain made the whole perfect and complete. SIGMA. Newberry Conference. This body met at Beth Eden Luther an church, on Satur y morj'ng last. The attendance of unuiisters ud dele gates was encouragingly large, and the discussions were interesting. The Rev. J. Q. Wertz. of Orangeburg, was present as a visiting member. The negro problem p)rovoked an animated discussion which terminated in the adoption of the following resolu tion: Re.soled, That this Conference make an effort to employ a missionary to labor among the colored population. and that we do so with a view to the establishment of a training school at which we propose to educate selected young men for the Lutheran ministry, to labor among their brethren. A resolution was adopted, recogniz-. ing the Southern Lutheran Publication Society as a useful and necessary oga'nization, and pledging it the hearty support of Conference. Instead of the usual Conference on the fifth Sunday in September, a Sun day-School Covention will be held at Grace Church, Prosperity. The pro 'ram for the Convention will be pub ished hereafter. The Rev. J. E. Bushnell read a well prepared essay on "Faith and Good Works." The sub.iect of a Bishop ip the Lutheran Church war discussed. Sunday morning the church was crowded, and an able sermon was preached by the Rev. J. P. Smeltzer, D. D., after which the holy sacrament was admfinistered. In the afternoon Sunday-School addresses were deliver ed by the Rev. J. E. Bushnell and Geo. B. Cromer. The large congregation was in good spirits, and the meeting was agreeable; much of the good feeling was doubt less due to the rain that fell on Satur day. _______ Senator Butler decides in his third letter that $1,800,000 is a pretty good sum to pay for our roads. THE LAST LETTER. GAFFNEY-E. H. BRITTON-O'ER HILI AND DALE-POOR FISHIN--SCARC ITY OF *EARTH WORMS-A FIRST . BATE DINNER. The slowly convalescing convales cent parted with the reader at Spartan burg, on the way for Gaffney city. and reached it at 1.30 Monday. Gaffney is populated by one thousand inhabi tants made up of as clever ini, wo men and boys as can be found in the Piedmont range. It is a pleasant hill country, and beautiful for situation. N otwithstanding : drouth of six weeks crops look better thn in the low coun try, and a fine rain which fell two'days later, has gladdened the hearts of the husbaudman and made all nature re joice. I met with a warm reception from that Nestor of the Press, Mr. E. H. Britton, and his energetic and progres sive son, Felix. They publish the Gaff ney Carolinian, of which Waddy W. Thompson, Esa., is the accomplishe4i editor. Several hours were spent in pleasantly recalling reminiscences of the past. The elder Britton is in his 68th year, and though complaining of a break down, is younger than many of 50 years. Six o'clock found me seated in a bug gv with mv' brother-in-law, J. Yost Metts, baring away o'er hill and dale, for his farm three miles distant. This is a new home for him, having only recently changed his habitation friom the malarial region of the Cooper riv er to this upper and purer atmosphere. I think, he thinks. and'his family think, that the change was wisely -cot:ceived. They now have health. Three miles from the farm, the wa ters of Broad river, run, leap and tum ble over the Cherokee Shoals. It is famous as a fishing place, and a couple of stalwart farmers essayed to afford me pleasure by an exhibition of their skill in seining among the shelving rocks. It was a bad day for seining, however, and all the morning was con sumed in capturing three cats and one trout. And then it rained, and we took shelter and dinner in the old mill, which thirty years ago resotnuled with the busy hum of life and activity. but is now given over to silence, decay, and the sports of the frisky flea. - One more effort was made to gt a few fish, but fhe drag was draggy, one only was taken. This re-niuded me of previous experiences on Bush anud Saluda rivers in Newberry county. An adjourn ment was called, and the party retired with lowered colors. The Cherokee creek, which empties into Broad river, is a bold and turbu lent stream, and runs by the farm house only a few hundred yards dis tant. I felt called to angle. The farm house was deficient of hooks, one only could be found, and that was blunt ; the next thing sought was bait, but in vain was digging, delving or turning over Gaffney dirt, not an earth worm could be found. Such an utter dearth of worms was absolutely startling. A white grub was at length nnearthed, and with this precious treasur., the only worm which Gaffney could pro duce, I reached the creek and i.ed, and lost my only bait at the first #ste. I returned a- sadder but wiser man. and spent the succeeding time until my de parture in penitence. It was my pleasure to dine last Sat urday, on my way home e.t the dinner house of Mrs. McCants at Ninety-Sir, and I car,:ot resist making brief men tion of the nicest dinner I ever sat down to. It was a good dinner, a cap ital dinner, a various dinner, a combi nation of excellent viands prepared and served in the r-arest style. Mrs. Me2 Cants is an artist in the culinar-y art. I have eaten all kinds of dinners, in the course of my varied life, good, bad and indifferent, and have written on my little mental tablet the places were the best and the worst have been taken-I don't speak of home dinners they have always the highest place in memory dear-and at this time Ninely-Six ~stands foremost on that tablet. 'The inevitable chicken in every style known to woman, flanked by solid dishes, vegetables, and sweet things made up that dinner. How I regretted my want of capacity. the willingness to do it justice was mine butt the ability was lacking as well as the capacity. The only mistake which this good lady made was in her charges. I -who ate but little was charged full rate s 75 ets, while Eugene who had energy, ability and capacity, and who ate twice as much as I was only charged 25 ets. Sic transit.

Dedication of the Orphans' Seminary Standing two or three hundred yards ifrom the depot at Clinton are three buildings dedicated as the home 0 orphans. The structures are three of the most attractive in the town; but far more interesting and attractive is the labor of love carried on within. Looking from the railroad you see first the original Orphanage, then Faith Gottage. then the Seminary for or phans. The last, built of concrete cemented. is the handlsomest as well as the newest and most apacirous of the three. It is capable of accom modating two hundred cl:ildr: n. This building was formally de<licated on last Saturday. The excreies were h ld in the chapel of the new Seminary which seats between two hundred and live hundred persons. and which was full of earnest listeners. On enteringthe chIpel the attention of the visitor is arrested by a handsome niural tablet of marble. just to the left of the recess at the end of the chapel. in which stands the lectern. The tahiet bears this inscription: "The Thornwell Seminarv for Orphans connemorates the pure a:l loving heart of that most illustrious man. James Henley Thorn well, D. D.. born Dec. 9th, 112, died August 1, 181. Orphaned in early childhood, but led up to man's estate by those who saw his native worth, he was himself ever. ready to lift up the needy and to share his goods with others. His works attest his glorious intellect, but this Orphanage shall record the depth of his warm and sympathetic nature. Freelf ye have received: Freely give." An interesting dedicatory sermon was preached by the Rev. Jas. H. Thorn well, after which the President, Rev. W. P. Jacobs,. explained how the work of building the Seminary had been ac complished. We were most interested in this statement. He said there are now at the Orphanage between forty and fifty boys and girls, as many as can be accommodated in the two build ings first erected. As many as fifty ofher orphans have applied for admis sion. Two years ago the board of visitors felt the importance of pr2enr ing more anple accommodations, and it was proposel that a seminary be built. 'Thce motwy was wanting, but they began working on faith, as in the case of each of the other bailding. The boys began to haul the material as best they could before a dollar was contributed. The amount of the first contribution was fifty cents. given by the aged widow of the sainted man whose name the Orphanage bears. On Monday morning of each week there was not sufficient money in the treasury with which to pay the work men for that week; but the gifts came in as the work went on, and the hands received their pay regularly at the end of the week. The Seminary is com plete with the exception of a little painting, and this work costing three or f it tlibusand dollars has been ae complished in tvo years. This is a subIirie 'tAnple of what can be done by faith. The.capacity of the Orphan age is considerably enlarged, and the president is better able to carry on the humane'work.to which so much of his life has already been devoted. Mr. Jacobs has done, and is doing a noble work, and he richly deserves the sym pathy tnd- aisstanee of the orphans' friends. He says, almost-every report of the treasurer shows an empty treas my; and'jet these fifty little months are to be -fed, and. these. fifty little bodies to be- clotthed.'; Daily tlhe o'ifts come in anid daily th'e labor of love goes on-should the giftaceease to comne the work could not contihue. The Sunday-School Conventions. The State Sunday-School Convention met in the Baptist church on Wednes day night of last week. A short ad dress of welc ime was delivered by Gen. Y. J. Pop , and responded to on behalf of the e >nvention by the Presi dent, Prof. J. D. Anderson. Then followed the re ;ular routine work of the Convention:. There were only a few membei-s from a distance, eight counties iu er. represented. The members of :he Newberry County Sunday-School Convention, and- the friends of Sunday-School work were associated with the Convention,, and the numbers were thus considerably increased. The meeting was organized by the election of Geo. S. Mowgr, President ; Rev. M. Brown, -Vice-President. six of the old Vice-Presidents.holding over A. B. Woodruti, Secretary; M. A. Car lisle, Treasurer. During the session, which lasted till Friday noon, the following questions were discussed: -"The whole Church in.the Sabbath-School"; "The princi ples of teaching applied to Sunday School work"; "Better teachers, and ow to procure them"; "The influence of the home upon Sunday-School"; "What pra.cticail results have already been reached by -the State and County Sunday-School Conventions." Before adjourn ing on Friday a con stitution wasjadopted, and the officers with which the body was organized were elected for the ensuing year. Columbia was selected as the place for the next meeting: and the matter of arrangements was left to the Cen tral Executive Committee, provided for by the new constitution. Of this Committee, the Rev. J. Steek, D. D., is President, and Geo. S. Mower, Esq., Setretary. Immedliately after the adjournment of the State Convention, the County Convention assembled. The represen tation was full. The Rev. J. E. Bush nell was elected President, and Geo. S. Mower, Esq., Secretary. Reports were made from the various schools ir? the County, and the Convention ad journed. It was.)a mistake to throw the two meetings together. The County Con vention would have been more inter esting at any other time. The State Convention was dull and flat. There was very little enthusiasm, and con sequently little interest. Nobody feels that much goodl was done. Everybody feels that good ought to have been done. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.

COMMUNISM IN NEWBERRY. On Saturaay morning, of last week, the following remarkable placard was found tacked to a telephone post at the end of Mollohon Row: Notice to the property owners and Insurance Companies. "This- block can be bilt no more. Mollohon Row must only live in the history of the past. Modern progress and public necessities decrees thus. Do not attempt. Merchants and own ers are well paid for losses, perhaps never so much again, so listen to the notes of warning. insurance agents, warn your companies of the impend ing danger. For twelve months have we worked for public good, and n'ow since it has been consuniated do not toy with the Gods any more. We are strong and determine. We (1 not destroy for our good or gain but the peoples. If Insurance companies per sist in their efforts against us. then he the consequence upon their head. build lu) and we will tear down. You see its every day and those whom you least suspect are one of us. or with us. None know us and we will find time and opportunity sufficient to carry our plans into execution. 3Iollohon must (lie that Newberry may live ! Corio lanus-"Mother, thou hast saved Rome but lost thy son," 3follohon to Commune." Now, we like that. Think of it! For twelve long months these "Gods" with a big "G"-have actually been working for the public good ! We have their word for it. For twelve months the Gods, with a big "G.," were in Newberry and nobody suspected it? And these Gods, with a big G., say that they must not be toyed with any more. That is a modest request and a perfectly reasonable one; and they shall not, our word for it, they shall not be toyed with any more. Why, can it be that the irreverent citizens of Newberry have had the audacity to toy with these Gods. with a big "G?" For shame ! And they were working for the peoples good-working twelve months ! Poor Gods, with a big ' G" ? how-tired they must be, to be sure-! And at last the good for which they have worked so magnanimously is "consumated" (with :one "ni") ; 31ol lohon Row "is dead" ! If you have tears to shed, let the cistern catch them. Now, nobody doubts that the people of Newberry would have ap plied the torch to 3ollohon Row long ago, if they had only known that the Gods, with a capital "G.," wished it : but they didn't know it,poor mortals, and the mills of the "strong and determine"irnmortals ground slow ly on ! Ah ! how they must have worked for twelve months! We fancy that we can see them taking-slug after slug of whiskey-the proper nectar of Gods, with a big "G.," and kindling their wrath as they think of the fires to eome-on Mollohon Row. They are: working for the people; so magnani mous ! And, as they take patriotic slug upon drink, they look into the fu ture and pity, yes, tenderly pity, the insurance men. How our souls are weighed down with sadness as we think of the reprobacy of Newberry! Then, to think that these little Gods, with a capital "G.," their only cap ital, have been walking the streets of Newberry. and we have been un able to detect them ! We should like to hold converse with these visible Gods, who are "strong and de termine." If we knew at what office they expect to get their next mail, we'd wash and refill our old inkstand, then get a new pen, then lay aside our old hat and write: "Dear Gods (with a big "G'') You are trumps you are, Drop in and wet your.whistle-and tell us of the future. We are as full of questions as an interrogation point. We want to know how you expect to benefit the people by burning Mollohon Row ; and we would like to know what es pecial interest you have in progress, or anything else pertaining to the wel fare of Newberry. And, you will par dntepresumption oanerring o tal, we arc anxious to know what par ticular, far away realm produces Gods,E with a big "G.,--and whether you made your advent upon the streets of this town from an abode whose name begins with "B, and ends witht "R." And, tell us, ye Gods, with,4 a big "G.,'.' as the future stands unveiled before you, do you see Moli lohon Row again in ashes ? and dc you see twvo upright posts with a crose beam from which is suspended a rope (known among mortals as a gallows) e and do you see dangling at the end o that rope a god, with a little "g.," anP1 a broken neck? .Ye classical Gods ] quoting Corlolanus, without applieag. tion, rhyme or reason, tell us of thu( future. Is Rome really saved ? The: we are happy ! Maybe ,you are Rc man gods; no, they never put on th' big "G." But, what do we see ! Yet powers! Even the ,big "~G." is-toa small; for projecting beyond it 'w atch a glimpse of (ha ! ha ! shall ali t say it ?) a glimpse of (ha ! ha ! ha ! elci cuse our levity, but we really cant help it) we catch a glimpse of the tips of-of ears ! And as we look upon the tips of those ears, we plug our eats with our fingers, for we expect an air splitting, resonant bray from the Goday with a big "G." Be generous old fel lows ; shell off that big "G.," and go to your homes where your sweet voices are familiar barnyard sounds." We say, if we knew the address of these new-born deities who must not be "toyed- with any more," we'd write them a polite ,lctter of interro gation ; but we do not know their ad dress, and we must continue in the common ignorance to which mortals are heir. The Gods "decrees thus" in the eleg'ant phrase of the: Gods. with a big 'G." Don't trouble your self about any stray Gods that you may meet ; "let them alone and they'll go home with their little tails behind them." ~The nrost reliable, carefully prepared and bet purgative of the present age is BRANDRETH'S PILLS.
