Unfortunate Affair In Saluda County Yesterday-Wounds Not Fatal. .Juilia IIendrlix, a younAI.; mant aboutl e1ihteenl vears of awe. was shot three times by his fathei. Quincev Heii(lrix, in Saluda couity ye!sterday morning. It is not thouglht that the wounds are of a very serious nature. The shooting occurred about one fourth of a mile from the lower steel bridge over Saluda river. It was diffi cult to obtain the details of the un fortunate affair or its cause. It was stated by some Saluda people who were in Prosperity yesterday that they had heard that Julian had drawn a shot gun on Quincey Hendrix, the father, whei Quincey Hendrix fired upon his son with a pistol. One bul let pentrated the fleshy portion of the arm above the elbow, another struck the wrist and a third passed through the clothing and struck the skin but did. not penetrate the body. It was also stated by people from Saluda county, that- there was pres ent at the time another son of Quin cey Hendrix, aged about sixteen years who shot at his father, as the father was leaving after having shot his son. What brought about the difficulty in the first instance' could not be learn ed. Burial of Miss Lillian Jamieson. The mortal form of Miss Lillian Jamieson was laid to rest in Rosemont cemetery Tuesday aftei-noon with a most impressive and beautiful ser vice. A great concourse of citizeiis at tended and loving friends from a dis tance came to pay the last tribute of affection and esteem. Many colored people even stood by sharing in the universal sorrow. Three % young gentlemen. Messrs. J. H. Craig, A. Burwell, Jr., and E. H. Reilly, accompanied the loved re mains from Charlotte and kept vigil through the long night in Columbia. Twelve devoted attendants, Misses Bessie Gilder, Clara Langford, Lu eile Wilson. Lillie Griffin, Jessie Moseley and Marguerite Cromer dressed in white and bearing bouquets of whi.te carnations bound with bands of white tulle, and Misses Mildred Simmons. Bessie Simmons, Carrie Jones, Mary Riser, Sena Riser and Jennie Sullivan int black carrying bunches of violets bound with purplb tulle, walked by the bier from the home to the grave rind at the last let iall the- fragrant flowers upon the casket in the tomb. The loveliest flowers in all de signs from eities north and south were- sent by sorrowing friends. and by their beauty and their perfume smoothed away the ruggedness of ruel death and the cold clay. A band of pure whi.te ribbon shut'ini thec grave, and to) admit the easket t wo of her dearest child friends, of whom she had spoken often even in her last sickness,iittle Mildred and Ned Pur eell, untied the knot~ and drew the ands aside. They.'too, dropped fra rant flowers within the tomb. Rev. J. L. Williamson, her--pastor, led the simple service of the Presby terian church, and Rev. John D. Pitts,~ of Laurens, offered a toud~hing prayer and then the servants of the hotel of which her father is proprietor, filled the grave. I t wats then covered be neath a bank of lovely and beautiful flowers. Gentle and lovable in heart and. beautiful in form she will be sadly missed by the whole community and we shall long and affectionately re member the graces and the virtues of our young friend. T o active pallbearers were: Robert .yes. T. K. Johnstone, Hugh T. ilawick, P. F. Gilder, Oswald An de,rson and Yancy Gilkerson. - Haonorary pallbearers: J. A. Mim nag,W. G. Houseal, C. D. Weeks, Jhn Scott, P. E. Scott, B. F. Griffin, S. G. Welch and A. C. Jones. I To Run For Legislature. The following is from the State of yesterday: It is said that Mr. H. H. Evans, former chairman of the dispensary board, will offer for the senate from Newberry county, provided the in cumbent, Senator Blease. offers for the governorship and they will sup port each other. In the election for members of the dispensary board it was stated that several who had in a way obligated themselves to Mr. Evans had been stampeded to vote against him. One of his close friends at that time pre dited that Mr. Evans would offer himself a candidate for the legisla Iture. REV. E. P. McCLINTOCK, D. D., Resigns as Pastor of Thompson Street Church After a Pastorate Thirty five Years-Failing Health The Cause. It,-v. E. P. McC,lint,4Oek. I. D).. has Ieidiered his resig-natioll as pastor of the Thompson Street A. It. P. church. Dr. McClintock has iiot been actively in pastoral work for several months owir to failing health. He and Mrs. McClintock have been in Columbia so as to be near their daughter, Miss Euphemia McClintock, who is presi (dent of the College for women in that city. It is a source of sincere reg-ret. not only to the congregation, but to 1Dr. McClintock's many friends in Newberry that his health has not im proved and that in consequence. he ias had to give up the active work of the ministry in .which lie has been engaged for about forty years. He first began to preach regularly at Thompson Street church and King's Creek church in May, 1870, and was installed pastor in May, 1871. This relation continued regularly until 1883. and Dr. McClintock served both i congregations. At that time he moved to the town of Newberry and took charge of the Thompsoif Street church exclusively, which congregation he has served continuously ul) to this time. Dr. McClintock took an active..in terest in everything that pertained to the welfare and advancement of the community and to the betterment of the citizens. and he numbered. his friends amongst all who knew him. He was also an actice and enthsiastic member of the James D. Nance Camp. Confederate Veterans. being himself a veteran of the confederate war. and was its chaplain from the organiza tion of the camp. As long as his health permitted, he never failed to attend the meetings of the camp and to take active interest in the exer eises incident to memorial day. A session of the clhirch will be held on Sabbath morning- immediate ly after the service to consider the resignation of Dr. McCintock. Of course, under the circumstances, there will be nothing left for the congerga-I tion to do but to accept it. and it is presumed immediate steps ivill be ta ken to secure another pastor who vill be able to engage actively upon the wvork of the pastorate.

He Will Be In Newberry April the 16th-A Characteristic Letter. Polk Miller. of Vir-ginia1. will1 be InI Newbei-ry n Apil 16. under the anspices of tlie hlielor _Nhaids. It will be in no sense a lecture, but an evening if story and song picturing "Old Tirnes Down South.'' It is said that Polk Miller is the best delineator of negro chara.eter that has ever ap peared upon the platform. Knowing Mr. Miller personally, Mr. A. C. Jones has been in corres pondence with him for the Bacheloi Maid5. Following is a characteristic letter from Mr. Miller to Mr Jones: Richmond. Virginia,. March 19, 1906. MIr. A. C. Jones. Mv Dear Sir:-Last year. we had sone talk about my coming to New berry for some ladies who styled themselves the "Bachelor" Old Maids. Now I am of the opinion that all the ginrls I saw whin I was in New berry last were so sweet that such an organization was bad for the boys. Anyhow, I have about 25 dates on the S. A. Line of railway for the month of April, and I can give you one or the other of the following dates for those dear old maids. Clinton wants me. and I can give them Monday or Tuesday the 16th or 17th of April. I had a kind of sneaking notion that your young ladies belonged to the Episcopal church. and I fought shy of coming there until after Lent. An Episcopal- Bishop* was among the lot of held up passeugers in the west a short time ago, and as the fellow was going through him, the Bishop said "this is hard on a poor preacher, go in' around in the discharge of his sa cred duties.'" The robber turned and said "are you a preacher sho' nuff!" " Yes, I 'm a Bishop of the Episcopal church.' 'The hell you are,'' said the robber, " why that's my church. !ive him his nioney back.'' And they did. righl there ......I didn't want to comne to Newberry in Lent,. and the 16th is just. after it, and a good time as I .thought. I've got a mighty good entertainment. and four mighty good sni'-niggers. And they don't for get either that they are employed by re 'to play the part of negroes, and not gentlemen with black skins. I mention this merely to give you to nderstand that I use 'em for a pui pose. andl they fill the bill. These ne 'res know the better class of white people as soon as they see 'em, and they prefer to sing for that class~ who an be kind, and just to a nigger, and yet give him to understand .that. they are his superiors all the time. I man ae these men, just as any other sou thern gentleman who owned negroes would. and I have no trouble with them. I see that they are well taken care of, and they pay me back by giving me the best singing that any guartett.e ever did before the publ.ic. They are .wonders. Write me at once and tell me if those ladies can use me. With best wishes for yourself, and hoping~ to hea: from you at once, I am ycrs very truly, Polk Miller. Two Governors at Y. M. C. A. Meet.

PI . 111n1ma1. )ean of tle University Aof Pennsyl vania. who delivered his lecture "The Old Testament as Literature," in Holland Hall, on Wednesday night, )I*. 'Seherer well said that his address wxould be a fitting climax to the Ly eeum course, which it completed. Dr. Peunmniman employed none of the arts of the orator to arouse or hold the interest of his hearers. but during an hour- that passed all toi, tjuicklv held from bei11nning to end the closest at tentimi of his aulieice. He spoke of the Bible as the only book with which all ;ire familiar. a book to be regarded not)t Ierelv as a book. or a collection t boks, but as all that is left of a "reit literature, a book to be read and stldied not alone as the source of re li-ious ideas and ideals. The speaker alirmed his belief in the inspiration of? the Bible. but emphasized the fact that read solely. as a human docu inent. leaving out of account its in spiration. it. will be found a most won derfully interesting book. Reading for example the book of Chronicles, late compiled. it is found that men made use ot other books as sources of information., giving evidence of the use of the scientific method, frequent ly referring to original sources of knowledge, quoting from valuable books, now lost. preserving passages of sublimity and beauty. as for ex ample the lamentation of David over Jonnathan, found in the book of Samuel. Tie truth of the Bible is demon strated in the history of the Jewish people. The preservation of the books that remain. while so much of a great literature has been lost, ac counted for by the fact that it is such a history. The genealogy of Jesus accounts for the preservation of the beautiful Idyll, the book of Ruth. In reading the Old Testament as litera ture, its three great divisions to be kept in mind, The Law, The Prophets and the Holy Writings, covering a period of one thousand years of' Jew ish history..Old Testament is no his tory of the world, but of the Jews. In it there is little mention of other na tions except in connection with the chosen nation. In tihe literature of other nations, there is little mention of the Jews. its literature was not produced by weaklings. Moses and Paul were cited as examples. The speaker read a portion of Moses fare well address, and characterized the last chapter of Deuteronomy as one of the finest passages in all literature. The Bible should not be thought of in a narrow way. Studying it, 'one should divest himself of preconceived opinions and prejudices, and let it speak for itself. "Do not read things into) the Bible, read things out of it.'' Speaking of the oratory of the Bible, the lecturer empl'oyed the illustrative thlod. au. l descrihed the crime of David and the rebuke of Nathan. stro:ngly showing the dramatic elimal asteaged prophet declared "Thou art tile man.'' as forceful as any thing in all literature, not excepting tile strongest passages from Shakes peare. He then called attention to the use of parables, describing the difference between a fable and a para ble. A parable and a fable similar in many ways, there is something in each to teach a moral lesson. A fa ble always transcends the course of nature, a parable never. There are only two fables in the Bible, Judges 9 :8: 2 Kings 14:9. The Bible is full of parables and each is a literary gem. In fables only maxims of world ly wisdom are to 'be found, in para bles, divine truth, always marked by simplicity, directness, and though teaching the profoundest philosophy, always with wond rouis clearness. the simplest parable marked by skillI, care and tremendous literary power. Bush River Cemetery. The committee appointed to fence and make needed improvements in the Bush River cemetery, wish to say to friends having loved ones buried there, that many graves are unmark ed. some stones are inclined or have fallen.
