COMMON PIXAS COURT.
Three Jury Cases Left Open For
Trial-Case of Matthews vs.
Copeland Taken Up.
The regular term of the court or
eoImnI()II pleas for Newberry -otunty.
Co1INed Vesterda y. mingol1u. -Jud(C
George E. P1rince. of Anderson. pre
siding. Judge Prine held the Jenu
ary term of the general sessions court
in Newberry, his fii-st appearance here
as presiding judge. He presides with
ease and dignity, and carries forward
the business of the court rapidly.
When the calendar of jury cases
was sounded yesterday morning only
three cases were left open for trial,
the others being continued or other
wise disposed Qf. The three cases left
open were Haltiwanger vs. Richards,
Cannon vs. Brown, and Matthews vs.
Copelaud.
The case of Matthews vs. Copeland
was taken up. Mr. B. C. Matthews,
as agent for his wife. Mrs. Clara B.
Matthews. is suing for possession of
the store now occupied by Copeland
Bros., and for damages in the sum of
$2,500. Mr. Matthews alleges that the
leases under which. Copeland Bros.
held the store, which is the property
of his wife, expired on February 10,
1905, and that .they have refused to
give up possession after being notified
to do so. Copeland Bros. in their an
swer to the complaint allege an agree
ment, which they say was reduced to
writing but never signed, by which
they were to hold the store for an
other five years, until February 10,
1910, and under which they were to
make certain improvements in the
store, which they claim to have al
ready been made.
The plaintiff yesterday morning in
troduced in evidence the leases ex
piring February-10, 1905, and the no
tice dated March 14, 1905, requiring
Messrs. Copeland Brothers to vacate
the property. The plaintiff then prov
ed by several witnesses the rental
value of -the property and closed.
During the introdiuction of the tes
timony for thd defeinee the question
arose as to'whether or rot the defend
ants had the right, under their an
swer, to introduce testimony showing
that there was a verbal agreement,
under whieli the defendants were to
hold for, another five years and were
to make certain improvements, which
they allege have beeir made.- This
agreement Mr. Blease, one of the at
torneys for the defendants, claimed
had been presented to Messrs. Cope
land Bros. by Mr. Matthews, but had
never been signed. a personal differ
ence having arisen during the consid
eration of the matter. Mr. Blease
claimed that this paper was in the
possession of the attorneys for the
plaintiff, arid demanded possession of
it. The plaintiff's attorneys denied
that they had any paper whichi Mr.
Matthews had piesented to Copeland
Brothers as an agreement, and held
that any paper which he mig.ht have
drawn with tire intention of present
ing to them was simly a private pa
per. and something with w~hich the
court had nothing to do. They held
that under the answer of defendant
only a w.ritten agreement could be
shown.
The question as to whrethe r or not
the defendant had right under its an
swer, to introduce testimony showing
a verbal agreement in regrad to tihe
store for the next five years, which the
defendants claimed had been-reduced
to writing, but never signed, was uin
der consideration when the court took
a recess for dinner.
The plaintiff is represented by
Messrs, Mower & Bynum, Johnstone
& Cromer, Hunt, Hunt & Hunter, and
Schumpert and Holloway. The de
fendants are represented by Messrs.
Cole L. Blease. Thos. P. Cothran and
F'red H. Dominick.
At the afternoon session of tire
court there was some further argu
met oni the points abov-e referred to.
)ut the attorneys finally got together
anl dlecided to compromise tihe case,
areeng. that it be withdrawn from
le jury and a consent order signed
by .Judge Prinee. Under the order
dopeland Brothers will continue in
possesion of the store until June 1.
at a rental of fifty dollars per month,
and are to be allowed payment of
their account for the improvements
which they have made on the build
ing, Mr. Matthews to pay the costs of
the action.
The ease of Cannon vs. Brown was
continued by consent of counsel on
both sides yesterday afternoon, and
the only jury case left open for trial
is that of Haltiwanger vs. Richards.

THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS.
In Evidence in Newberry On Every
Hand-New Buildings, Improve
ments on Old Ones-Organi
zation of Business Men
Needed.
The spirit (1f Ill rJveilt sems to
have taken good hold inl Newber:y,
and in spite of the fact that we bave
been unable to get the business men
to work together for the gcneral ad
vancement of the community, there
has been during the past few months,
more evidence of substantial growth
than in a good many years heretofore.
Mr. McCaughrin has about (om ple
ted five handsome stores, removing
soic old wooden buildings which were
niot Only an eyesore to the omiuinity.
but a regular fire trap. The fratern.
ity hall will be a v-ery- lihindsoie build
ing with ( omIiees on tihe secon(d floor,
and two commnodi)ius stores on the
first floor, and a very large and hand
some hall on the third floor. The
Newberrv Hardware Company is com
pleting one of the largest store rooms
in this part, of the state, and Mr. P. E.
Scott. has begun excavation for the
new postoffice building and now comes
Mr. Henry Wheeler with plans for de
cided improvement in the Newberry
Hotel property. He will add a third
story to this very desirable property
and will remodel the second story so
as to place the dining roomon the
fiont with large- French plate glass.
Fifteen bath rooms will be .added-.
The hotel will be refurnished fron
bottom to top, and when conipleted,
SWill be one of the most up-to-date and
modern hostelries in the state.
While these imprqvemients are go
ing on -in the business part of the city,
new residenees' are being built in all
directions, and yet, there is not a va
eant residence in the city, which
shows that the population is rapidly
increasing. .
The Herald arid News wilf be very
glad to see our business men get to
ether with some sort of business or
anization which conld take in hand
all matters pertaining to the general
welfare of the Commnllity.
An electrie road is propmosed from
Spa rtanburg through this section to
Aikeu. th-e project has behind it plen
tv of money and business ability, and
should have the co-operation of The
people of this community. and they
should see to it that. this line is built
by Newberry.
An organizatimon composed of the
business men of the conmnmunity eudd
take such matters in hand, and we
hope soon to see some such orga-iza
tion effected.
Newberry. as we have said, is forg
ing aheadl. however, as rapidly as any
ity in the state.
Sabbath Observance.
The churches of Newberry united in~
service on Sundiay night last in the

The occasion for the service, was the

Sabbath Union, wlto fiilled the pulpit

DAMON AND PYTHIAS
To Be Presented at Newberry Opera
House-A Most Charming En
tainment by Good
Company.
(I Friday. March 2nd, )anion an(d
P)ythias will he preseited in Newber
r'y hy practically thle same east. whlich
rendeied the great damon si) success
fully on the 19th in Columbia. The
play will be under the direction of Mr.
Edward D'Oige, who will also play
Damon and will be under the auspi
cies of the local Knights of 1ythias.
Mr. D'Oige has successfully pre
sented Damon and Pythias on many
occasions throughout the south for K.
of P). lodges, and has also played in
the piece with Robert Downing, Louis
James. Frederick Wark, and Edwin
Ferry. He was also seen here two
seasons ag1) as Romeo.
The story of Damon and Pythias is
of such ancient origin that its source
cannot be definitely traced, but it has
been familiar to all lovers of romance
for oxer 2,000 years, and no other ex
ample -of history or fiction is so re
plete with, the sentiment of true
friendship. Briefly told, the story is
as follows:
Damon, the patriot senator of Syra
cuse. a philosopher and a man of
lofty ideals, attempted to prevent the
rise of the Syracusean General, Di
onysius, who aims to overthrow the
democratic form of government and
make - himself ~king. Damon's elo
rquence in the senate house failiijg to
stem the tide of events, and loving lib
I erty better than life, he risks every
thing upon one blow, and attempted to
kill the usurper, but is seized by the
. king's guard and sentenced to an
?ignominious death upon the block.
Damon appeals for a few hours re
spite that his wife and child might be
brought to him before his execution,
but is refused by the tyrant and is
being led to execution, when his tried
and trusted- friend, Pythias, leaving
his Calanthe to whom he is to be wed
(led that very day, offers himself as
hostage for Damon's sure return,
Itakes his friend-'s pJace in his dun
eon. while Damoi- goes to bid his
,ife faiewell. Dionysius being touch
ed 'by such a-'generous act. grants a
stay 'of proceedings for six hor's, and
dsuising himself visits Pythias in
his pisxon, resolving to put his friend
hip to) a test, telling him that the
king haid dispatched 20 men to-inter
ept Damon on his return to Syracuse.
nd offers Pythias the means of es
pe. But Pythias, true to his prom
ise, declines the proffered means of
escape. Damon, .on arriving at his
home, breaks the terrible news to his
vife, Hermion. She implores him to
take advantage of his liberty and fly
to Italy in Greece and escape the ty
rant forever, but he wvill not so pro
fane the sanetity of friendship and
calling for his horse is about to de
)art to doom, when his shave, Lucul
ims, informs him in order to save his
master's life, lie has slain his steed
and so cut off the means of his re
turning to Syracuse within the given
time.. The unhappy man in a frenzy
f ox' andl wrath, is ah-out to hurl
himself and the wre.tched struggling
lave from a precipice, when afar he
beholds a ti-aveler'upon a god steed.
Rushine upon the unsuspecting rider,
he pulls him. from the saddle and
mounting his horse returns to Syra
mcse just at the moment Pythias is
mounting the block. Dionysius' ad
miration for the friendship of the two
men is so great that he pardons both,
nd so the story has a happy enddmg.
The play was written by an Irish
poet, John B3anim in 1820, and re
eived its first production at* Covent
Garden Theatre. in London in 1821,
with Mr. William Macready in the
role of D)amon. The first productior\
n America was given in Boston
in 1846. Mr. Edwin Forrest essaymng
the part of Damon, anid for' nearly 100
rears the play has b)een*a great favor
ite of both player. and publie.
The order of the Knights of Pythias
was founded ulpon1 this le2enId.
Will Probably End Today.
It is probable that all jury busi-.
ness in the common 'leals court will
)e concluded today, and the jurors
dismissed. There being only one oth
or jury case for trial, all the jurors
xcept those empanelled on this case
will be dismissed this morning, and
it has been stated that an effort will
be made to continue this case.
Plans For New Building.
Some time after the fire at the low
cir ed of Mains street it was announ
ed in The Herald and News that Mr.
.J. H. Hair had purchased the lot
wvhereon had stood the building occu
)ied by him as residence and barber
shop and that lie would soon erect a
brick building on tis lot. The ar
emit ects are nowx dr'awi ng thle plans
frteerection of a mfodern'I twvo
story brick building and it is stated
that- 4hie actual. work ot construction
will begin in the very near future.
College Minstrels.
The following not ice of the minstrel
pe'rforiiance, whiichi was given at the
opera house on Friday ni-ht by the
S11ulelits of Newberry colle.e was ta
kei from tlie News'dl Courier of
ve- t c1Ala v
Anl event iii whic-hi Newbrry e)
lege felt ti great et interest was tle
pe.rfor1nince of the Cillege inistrels
in the opera house on Friday night.
Evervbodv was eXpectin,g a good per
t'orniance and it is safe to say that no
one was disappointed. The entire pro
,ramnie. consisting of several of' tle
latest popular songs. cracking of I
jokes. horizontal bar work. novelty
sketch, expert roller skating. fancy
bag punching. "coon' quadrille.
et(.. was carried out witlhout a hitch.
M11r. E. B. Houseal acted as interlocu
tor. Messrs. Howard Holland and J.
T. Owen being introduced as kings of
the minstrelsy. The quartette com
posed of Messrs. Eleazer. Long, F.E.
Bedenh1augh and Long. F. S. has been
highly complimented.
Perhaps the most pleasing feature
of the entire show was the scientific
i and iphysical culture exhibition by
Rudolph Habenicht, the athletic in
structor of the college, who appeared
in two parts. In the first he perform
ed'some very difficult. feats on the hor
izontal har; in the second an exhibi
tion in bag punching, being a recog
nized peer in this are, Mr. Habenicht
was heartily applauded by the audi
ence.
The weather was ideal and a large
house greeted he minstrels, thus in
Ssuring the financial success of the pro
ject, which means a good -deal to the
Athletic asspeiation. The success of
this occasion was due to the untiring
effoi-ts of Coach Holland. under whose
direction the minstrels were trained.
The "Isle of Spice."
Perhaps the "Isle of Spice" has
the cleverest comedians seen in mus
ical shows in the Ciescent Tleatre.
Herbert Cawthorne, who is remem
bhered. for his humnr in many comedy
affairs in this city and elsewhere, is
particularly funny as one of the sail
iors who, dropped on the "Isle of I
Spe'' front. a baloon, . which -had
been sent up. by an American gun
boat 'iear'this strange counti-y. .HeI
adHarry Watson, who is an old
fvoiite ~here. are . irresistible, and
they vie with eaeh other for the most
Ifun out of their lines. Their "Silly
Sailors'' is nove', and their'dances
are so grotesqjue that both comedians
establish .themselves in favor. Sanm
Mlie is another clever comedian,
and his feature song "The Goo Goo
Man"' is great. Harry Griffith has a
fine voice, and in his song "Take Me
Iome'' gained many encores. Miss
Leslie Leigh, as the king's ward, is
a pretty young woman, and her
voice is mellow and rich. and, in the~
irst song number she won favor for
the "Isle of Spice.'' Miss Leigh~
knows her art well and is capable ofj
zreat things. The song, "Peggy
Irady'' is tuneful, and Miss Leigh
gave it so sweetly that it will be!
Inae p)opular. Miss Lillian Gorman,I
mother sweet young woman, is a help
in the show. The others of the comn
pany are good, and the show is so
nicely polished that it will have a
reat run throughout the week.
