The council chamber on Tuesday morning, was the scene of a lively 'possum hunt. The animal had been captured out in the county but hap pened to get loose from its captor while in the council chamber room and thus afforded the pleasure of a second chase. The plucky little beast made a valiant stand in the cor ner behind one of the heavy desks, and it was only after considerable trouble that Mr. Possum was dis lodged and put back in the sack. The dry weather continues. Broad and Saluda rivers are lower than ever before known. The turnip crop is a failure. Mr. A. B. Veazey has recommend ed another rural 'route from Chap peIls which goes down into Saluda co'unty. The farmers are not rushing their cotton on the market and they say they do not intend to sell below ten; cents. we hope they are in posi tion to be able to fix the price. They hold the key to the situation of they would only unite. A farmer was in oir ofhice on Wed nesday and renewed his subscriotion, to The Herald and News. rIe said he had paid every cent he owed and had plenty a~t home to live on: that he made more co?un this year than he! iiad ever made, and that the rest of 'his cotton he had hauled home and did not intend to sell below ten cents. He is only a type of many more. though a great many of them have up to this time forgotten their county paper. We hope this oversight will not continue much longer. Mr. J. W. White's new brick store on Caldwell street is going up rap idly. The brick work is under the skillful supervision of Mr. Jacob Wells. To Study Medicine. Mr. James N. McCaughrin, who for several years has been book-keep er in the Commercial bank. has re signed his position and will study medicine. He had this in mind wvhen: he graduated from Princeton a few year ago but on account of business in terests here he came home. He is deservedly popular in his present po sition, always polite and courteous and attentive to his duties and his friends regret to have him leave the bank. They wish for him, however, abundant success in the profession he has chosen. He will leave for Baltimore on the first of November. It is understood that he will be suc ceeded in the bank by .Mr. Jesse Y. McFall, who has been book-keeper for Summer Bros for the past sev eral years. Mr. McFall is efficient and has many friends and the bank s fortnat+e in ecuring- his services. FEAGLE-McFALL. Mr. FraW Feagle and Miss Nel lye Gary McFall Quietly Mar ried On Wednesday. Ir. Frank Leonard Feagle and Aliss Xe atrMcFall were mar ried at high noon on Wednesday at the residence of the bride's brother. Mr. J. M. Kinard, in this city, the Rev. G. A. Wright of the Baptist church officiating. Only the close relatives of the bride and groom were present at the cere nIV which was an extremely quiet affair. The beautiful home was nagnifi cently decorated for the happy oc casion. In the parlor a heavy bank of asparagus ferns and white chry santhemums against the mantel was increased in loveliness by festoons of green smilax twined gracefully about the room. The dining room was also tastefully decorated in white and green. The hallway was de corated in the autumnal ihades with red and golden leaves in abundance forming a kind of delicate trellis work entwined in the balustrade. The wedding took place just at high noon, and immediately later an elaborate wedding breakfast was served, after which the happy couple took the train for Greenville where they will make their future home. The wedding presents were profuse and beautiful, among them being some truly magnificent pieces of sil ver and cut glass. There were also some lovely china pieces. The bride is a daughter of the late Captain and Mrs. J. Y. McFall and has been one of Newberry's most harming maidens, whom Greenville may welcome with pride as an equal ly charming matron. Mr. Feagle was originally from this county and is now a prominent and successful business man in Greenville. "ULYSSES." Opening Number on the College Ly ceum Course. Never has there come to Newberry a better recommended literary at traction than that with which the college lyceum course this fall will be opened. The dramatic critics and the press are unanimous in their un stinted praise of Professor Clark. The Saginaw (Michigan) Courier Herald gives the following account of his appearance there. The reading of Stephens Phillip's dramatic arrangement of "Ulysses" by Professor Clark of the University of Chicago, was generally agreed to be one of the distinct literary treats of the convention. For fully an hour and a half the large audience sat si lent. gazing absorbedly on Professor Clark and listening to his resonant voice as he declaimed the passages describing the familiar adventures of the Greek hero. He showed him self of marvellous dramatic power and doubtless succeeded in impress ing on liis hearers phases of the old story which they never before thought of. The dramatization opens in Ulysses' palace, where Telmachus, his son, is quarreling with the drunk en guests who take advantage of his father's continued absence to live easy on his possessions. Prof essor Clark then turned to the scene of Ulysses on the island of Ogygia and pictured masterfully the emotion of the hero on experiencing a longing for his home and wife after being un der the inliuence of the nymph Calypso for many years. His fare well to the nymphs, his later descent. to Hades and outbursts of emotion as he underwent the trials prescribed by the gods, his return to his home, disguised, revealing himself at the proper moment, were scenes pictured vividly and with fine artistic percep tion of the various characters pre sented. Prof. Clark's reading in Newberry is set for the night of November ist, in the college auditorium. Wanted in Laurens. Grant Robertson, otherwise known as W\ill Robertson, colored, who has been wanted in Laurens for almost a year, and who has been all over the counties lying between Laurens and Richland, was captured in Newberry by Chief of Police Bishop and Sher iff M. M. Buford. The negro was reported to be on the material train at the C., N. & L. track and he was easily, with this in form+tin located by the officers. ARM CUT OFF. Painful Accident Happening to Col ored Boy-Remarkable. Recovery. Something nver two weeks ago the seventeen-year-old son of Laurence Jackson. colored, met with a serious and almost fatal accident while work ing at the ginnery of Mr. G. M. Werts in this county. It ultimately cost him the loss of his arm which was amputated above the elbow by Dr. W. D. Sern. The remarkable part of the occurence is that the boy is now out in the field picking cotton with the other negroes, and is feel ing no ill effects from his terrible injury. It is stated that the colored boy was working at the ginnery as a packer at the time the affair happen ed. He walked in front of part of the machinery, having ceased for a moment from his work of packing, and coming too close his flying shirt sleeve was caught in the saws. Before he could tear himself away his whole hand was drawn in, terrible lacerated, and completely severed at the wrist. Dr. W. D. Senn was sent for and deemed it expedient to amputate above the elbow. He states that the recovery was the most phenomenal, in point of time, which has ever come beneath his observation as . prac ticing physician. Miley-Folk. Many Newberrians remember Dr. J. Wi. Folk, a former citizen of this county, who lived at one time at Ja lapa, and some years ago moved to Young's Island in Georgetown coun ty, where he holds a government po sition as quarantine officer. Cards of invitation have been r ceived in Newberry, announcing the marriage of his daughter, Minnie Elizabeth :o Wade Hampton Miley at the chapel at Young's Island, at high noon, October 19, 1904. Painful Accident. Mr. Walker Griffin, the overseer at Mr. H. H. Abrams' ginnery, in this county, met with a very painful and serious accident on Monday while attending to the gin machinery. He was working with the cotton at the gin when his shirt-sleeve was caught by the saws, drawing his hand into the machinery and mangling it arribly. A physician was sent for immediately and it is thought that by careful treatment the injured member may be saved. Will Be Interesting. The semi-annual appearance of Lman H.

The man who has no enemies, nor very warm friends, is like a blighted tree that bears indifferent fruit. Ac tivity begets strife; firmness, rein forced by intelligence, brings victory. "Every man's work shall be tried by fire." and the good only remains. There are acts in the lives of all men which are at variance with their other acts; and we should not judge a man by a 'single act any more than we should judge a country by a par ticular town. Let us get all the ele ments that make the man before WHISKEY AND PISTOL. Shooting Scrape Among Negroes Nobody Injured. There was another big row Wed nesday on "Bluc Ruin Hill. Storks JJes, colored, loaded himself with whiskey, loaded his little pis tol with powder and shot, and went on the warpath. seeking to intimi date all colored citizens so unfortun ate as to come whitin range of his vision or his gun. Complaint was immediately lodged with the city au thorities. an investigation was made, and Jiles was taken into custody. From the facts brought out it seems that at the beginning of the trouble Jiles was at his own home. An old woman known as Alice Far row passed by and Jiles called her to stop. She refused to do so, and al leges that Jiles followed her and has tened her already speedy retreat with a few uncomplimentary remarks, punctuated by pistol shots. It is claimed that Alice Farrow went on down to the house of Cindy Bates and Jiles followed, under the impression that the said Alice was upon the premises with the criminal intent of accomplishing Cindy's de mise by the use of ten pounds of poison. As a self-constituted pro tector of Cindy it seems that Jiles again produced his artillery with murderous intent. He was quieted down, however, and later put in the guard house. When brought be fore the mayor yesterday morning he was still in a mood too festive to be much impressed with the dig nity of the occasion, and after repeat ed futile efforts by the officers to bring upon him a proper sense of his consummate wickedness he was fined ten dollars for contempt of court and locked up again. He was also fined five dollars for being drunk and dis- 1 orderly, with an additional fifteen tacked for carrying an unlawful wea pon. Democratic Meeting. The executive committee has de cided to change the hour for the meeting of the democratic party in Newberry from 8:oo p. m. to 7:30. The meeting was set for the night of November first. On that night it will be held, the hour only being changed. It is stated that the reason for this change is the fact that the Gen try Bros. show will exhibit in New berry on the same night. The people of the town who so desire can attend the meeting and then take in the show. "Death is the Entrance into Heaven."
