E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday. January 16. 1906. In another column is referred to more fully the effort of Congress man Lever to secure mail service on the through freight between Lau rens and Columbia, on the Colum bia, Newberry and Laurens road. The success of Mr. Lever's ef forts will mean a great deal in the way of convenience to all the points interested, and the people of New berry and all along the line between Columbia and Laurens very carn estly hope to see .\r: Lever suc ceed. Newberry now has no mail from Columbia after 1.15 o'clock in the afternoon, and no mail from Laurens before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The service for which' Mr. Lever has asked the depart ment would give us an early morn ing.mail from Laurens and connect ing points, and an afternoon mail from Columbia. The cruiser Charleston, the new war vessel of the United States navy, which has been in Charleston harbor during the past several days, sailed on Sunday afternoon for Norfolk. The vessel went out at dead low water, without the aid of a pilot,~ giving a practical -demon-; stration of the depth of the harbor. The cruiser was presented with a;, magnificent silver service during her stay in Charleston, the gift of t1e city whose namesake she is, and the officers and crew were royally entertained, as only Charleston knows how to entertain. In this magnificent cruiser not only the people of South Carolina's principal city, whose name she bears, but the people of all the state, have a deep interest, and they wish for her and for those whom: she bears success and honor. Announcement has been made! that Mr. Geo. W.' Brunson, ' r., now editor of the Norfolk Dis patch, will in the next several days assume the editorship of the* Greenville News. Mr. Brunson is a' South Carolinian by birth. He is an experienced newspaper man. andunder his direction the Green-i ville News ought to continue its successful growth and development.: That Newberry is experiencing a rapid and healthy growth is appar ent by the number of new brick buildings now being erected in the business section of the town and the handsome residences going up - in the residence sections. We have the best town in the state. The Spartanburg Journal has in creased in size and improved its: general make-up and efficiency. We congratulate Editor Henry on the success which is attending his ef-; forts to give Spartanburg a live and progressive daily. The legislature yesterday enter ed -upon the second week of its ses sion. It is to be hoped that the number of new bills introduced this week wvill be less than for last week. Nobody seems to be willing to risk a prophecy as to what the leg-; islature will do with the dispensary. NEWS FROM CHAPPELLS. Delightful Oyster Supper By the Woodmen at the Residence Of Mr. W. R. Reid. Other Matters of Interest. Chappells, January 13--h Woodmen gave a very (delightful oyster supper at the residence of Mr. W. R. Reid last Thursday night, about fifty being present.

Mlisses Marion and Eunice Wil liamson. the popular teachers of the Chappells school, a fter spending several wVeeks at home. in \~irginia, have returned to their p)ost of duty.

The following have ateh\ movedVl to Newberry J. R. -curry and family, J. j. White and Family. Louis Betts and J. -M. Mar tin and family.

Mr. Nick Coleman, on his way to Atlanta. stoppped over for a few hours in Chappellls. The farmers are not so hopeful of 13 cent cotton as they were somc time ago, but every one that signed the pledge for 15 cents on ninety days will certainly keep the pledge Mr. Wm. R. Smith, Sr., has re turned from Atlanta, Ga., with a lot of fine mules. A Personal Word. Four years ago I came here a stranger to everybody with the pos sible exception of a half dozen peo ple. I promised then that my very best was on the altar of service for the highest good of Newberry. I have tried to be faithful to that promise. With what degree of suc cess others must determine. I am happy in the belief that in the effort to realize my ideal I have made many friends. I am sorry to be lieve that for the same reason I have incurred the displeasure ol others. If it be true that a man is known by the character of his friends or that of his foes I am will ig to be judged by either or both. I have been the recipient of many kindnesses from many people. Tc each and all I want to express my most grateful appreciation. I de sire to make special mention of the generosity of the editors of The Herald and Newvs and the Observer in furnishing me their papers free of charge as wvell as for numerous courtesies in other ways. My re* gard for the medical fraternity oi Newberry is high indeed. I doub1 if another town in South Carolina o: similar size can boast their equals as high toned gentlemen or theii wisdom and skill in the healing art. I am under great and lasting obli lations to Dr. W. G. Houseal for abundant and faithful service as my family physician and to Drs. 0. B. Mayer and J. M. Kibler for special and valuable services.
