The -citiziens meeting will be held -this evening in council chambers at 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of pro widing -rules and fixing the date of .the city primary. Let there be a full :attendance. Langford Bros. Co. l'ast week re -zeived a carload of cabbages in one shipment, probably the largest ship -ment of cabbage in one lot in New 'berry. Robt. Norris, general agent for the Pacific -Mutual Life Insurance compa miy, advertises some interesting figures won life insurance. Mr. S. S. Langford has accepted a ;position as bookkeeper with Lang iord Bros. Co and will move back to ~Newberry. (The office of the company~ 'for the priesent 'will be in the express -office. The warehouse rooms are at lshe C. N. & L. depot. This company it doing a very large business, making <iuick sales -and short profits.. Rev. J. H. Graves will preach a ser -mon at. the opera :house next Sunday .aftlernoon at four o'clock to Bergell Tri~be No. 24.0. R. .M. and Caiteeche Vuncil No. 4 D. of P. Visiting mem Ibers and the -public generally are cor idially invited to attend. 'Hair and Havird are still selling rgoods at the same old stand and dheaper than ever before. Millinery -and -everything in their line at prices that 'keep them busy waiting 'on saT is'fie-d tustomers. 'Sheriff J.

Hunter of Prosperity has ibought The lot next to t'he Renwick splace 'and will build a residence on it1 anid move to Newberry. Shooting On' The Train. There was more or less drinking on ~some of the crowded trains returning from the fair last week. On the C. N. a L freight on last Thursday night some negroes gotc rather unruly and between Newberry and Jalapa began -shooting. Gus Golden and John Bur ton were arrested for shooting Ben -Gallmnan. They were put under ar -rest and taken on to Laurens. Sher iff Buford brought them back to New 'berry and they are now in the New berry jail. Dr. Gilder is attending Gallman. It is understood that he is not seriously hurt. Such reckless shooting ought to *be severely dealt with because it interferes with the rights of others and endangers hu man life. The constant killings we read of only show how little regard is -paid to the law against toting pistols. 'It will be so with any law where pub lic sentiment is not in sympathy with 'the law and the best- people of the .community go on violating it every "NICHT 0' HALLOWEEN." Tonight Supernatural Influences Will Prevail-Entertainment in Ar mory By Methodist Ladies. "This is the nicht o' Halloween, WIhen a' the witchie micht be seen; Some o' them black, some o' them green, Some o' them like a' turkey bean." So will sing the bairn of Scotland tonight, for it is the eve of All Hal lows day, and the spirits of the dead will wander abroad, and all the witch es, devils and mischief-making elves will hold their grand anniversary cele bration. But how many maidens outside the land of Scott and Burns, perhaps in America and possibly in South Caro lina, maybe in Newberry, will eat an apple before a mirror, feeling creepy as they look over the shoulder in the glass for the face of the sweetheart to cbe? Or how many will go down the cellar stairs with a candle in one hand and a mirror in .he other, for the same expected vision? Or how many will pluck two roses with long stems, and going to their sleeping rooms without speaking to anyone, and kneeling be side their beds, will twine together the stems of the two icases, gazing meanwhile intently upon the lover's rose ,while they chant: "Twine, twine and intertwine, Let my love be wholly thine, If his heart be kind and true, Deeper grows his rose's hue." Surely -there will be some, for of all the nights in the year, it is the one upon which supernatural influences -most prevail* and it cannot be possible that the materialism of a material age has destroyed all the pretty supersti tions that h'ave come down through six hundred years. From a festival of belief it has now come to be a festival of Jest and mer ry making, but superstition still lin gers yet awhile in human nature. -In Newberry tonight Hallowe'en will be observed, though- not as gen erally as in the days gone by. At the Armory the ladies of the Methodist church 'Thave arranged to give a Hal lowe'en party, and an unusually inter esting and attractive program has been arranged. IThe ghosts and 'the elves will 'be there, 'and there may be some witc'hes, but if there are any of the evil spirits, it is guaranteed that the charms 'which they weave will be of short duration. Refreshments will charged at the door. The Newberry Court. The court 'of general sessions for Newberry will convene on next Mon day, November 6, Judge R. W. Mem minger -presiding. The- court will ~continue one week. 'The full terms of the session and common pleas courts in this county have been divorced, 'and the common pleas court will convene on the last Monday in November, to continue for rwo weeks, a letter having been re ceived from Judge Memminger yes terday morning stating that he would 'hold the second week of common pleas court for which request 'had 'been made.

Dr. Duck ett moved to Anderson from Newber ry and he has the sympathy of his friends here in the grief which has come to 'him in 'the death of his daughter. A Man Who Has Experienced Many Accidents. It has fallen to the lot of not many men to have as many bones broken as Mr. Hamm Buzhardt has. .He once had a leg broken in several places by the falling of a tree. Twice he has had a collar-bone broken,,at another time his skull was cracked; and right recently 'he had the misfortune to have two of his ribs broken. Strange to say all these mishaps occurred while he was a private citizen. He fought through the entire war, and in that arm of the service in which most of the casualties occurred, without hav ing a bone or even the skin broken. All honor to the men who stood so long !between us and 'the bullets of the enemy; and then came home to re build their fortunes under adverse cir cumstances. We will honor them while they live and cherish their mem orise bn they paoff n the stage B. ANOTHER OLD PAIR GLASSES Mr. Thomas F. Tarrant Has Pair Eye Glasses Worn By His Great Grandmother.

Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Jim Davis and Gilbert Clark. .
