This entertain ment, as stated, is given for the ben efit of~ the Daughters of the Confeder acy, who desire to use the funds in marking the graves of the Confeder ate soldiers, paying for crosses ofI honor and furnishing lunch to the Confederate Veterans on Memorial Day.~ It should be liberally patron ized by our people not only on ac count of the enjoyment to be had from the play itself, but from the fact that the proceeds will be used for worthy causes.

St'mli inltQeest is be.ing. taken inh 11cZat1.!i (4 the !e\v ut hoiiu III-Ise. The kIvie wi meet .n tile 4til of '1prI tOc iler po)posaZlS. It iS a very importalt matter and The Her ild and News hopes that those who imve eligXible lots will not place the >rice bevend the reach of the com Dr. McClintoek s lot would make a very desirable site. It is high and eontains an entire block and then the Jones lot might be secured by the town for a small park as was contem plated some time ago. This lot and the old female academy square are the two most. desirable sites in the city. From what can be learned we fear Mr. Mann has placed his fig ures beyond the reach of the commis Sion though of course we do not know what his tigures are. In building the new court house we should remember that we are not only building for the present, but for the future. Base Ball At The College.

"Politics is extrefiely uncertain," remarked the man who makes trite remarks. " Yes." answered the discouraged looking citizen: "you read the papers in the hopes of' deciding on the best eandidate, and thenm start out for the polls. And maybe you 'll be allowed to get to the polls. Then, perhaps. vouI'll be allowed to deposit a ballot. which in your exc itement youl mfay or may not have marked correetly. And f you did mark it correctly there is chance of its not being counted, ayhow. As you. say, it 's extremely. uncertain."

Ow n11to the dis-parity of as.,essints a.s nade by the owners of property in naking their returns, the work of the )oard this year has been anythinz but i pleasant task. There have been a good many corn llainits 'which the board has eonsid "red. aind the meibers have had dimifi eilty in an effort to (o justice and at the samie timie please those whose property was raised. .nder the law. the board cannot reduce the assess ment below the average at which it is returned by the owners ot the prop erty. and as stated some tine agro. the efhrits have been to assess property -it sixty per cent valuation. In do ingv tis it has beii necessary to raise. some of the property as returned by the owners. The board is composed' of good men. whose only purpose was to do their duty and to get an equita ble assessment. This is a very diffi cult task.. but the members of the bolrd feel that they have discharged their duty conscientiously. The property will remain as fixed by the board unless the comptroller oeueral makes abatement. GREAT COUNCIL RED MEN. To Meet Hert April 9-11-Pocahon tas Degree To be Conferred by Cateechee Council.

Preparations On in Earnest-Many Newberry People Will Likely At tend The Event. The: Chioral Festival which is to be held in Greenwood on the 18th and 19th of April is exciting no little in terest locally. It is thought that a large crowd will go fromi here to take advantage of the great opportunity offered to hear some great singing by some equally great artists. The railroads will grant low rates, and the sehedules are so arranged that those who intend zoing to Greenwood in April maY do so at little inconven ience, itiasnuch as practically all of the three performance may be taken in. allowing the busy men to return hone easily in. tiine for opening busi less. Fromii all that can be learned, the, Choral Festival in Greenwood will be a great event Few this section, and the people of that little city have at a great expense to themselves, secur ed some well known artists to sing there. They are busily engaged making all preparations for the great event, and the three concerts which will be given as follows: Wednesday iight. Thursday afternoon. and' Thursday night, will be well at.tended. People all over this section are con templating attending. And it iswell, too, for not often does the opportun ity present itself for lovers of music and by great artists too to hear and attend an event of such magnitude. The chorus which will sing will be composed of one'hundred and forty five well trained v'oices a fact, in it self, which will prove great drawing card. Then, in a great-measure ad ding luster to the musical event, are the renowned singers from the W'est who have, at a great price, been seeur ed to sing at Greenwood. It costs no little outlay of money to induce a singer of national and worldwide rep utation to sing. and the people of Greenwood realize this fact. The seat sale was opened last week in the store of S. C. Hodges, to whom all letters should be addressed. In order to secure the choicest seats in the house a great number have al ready been sold, but those in charge are urging the people to seeure seats at once. so that those who attend will get the- best places. The prices of ad mission are only seventy five cents for each performance, while the sea son ticket entitling~ the holder to the three performances are only two dollars. This is regarded very moder ate for the high class of singing to be had. Greenwood congratulates herself upt n secnring of the most renwoned artists in the country. Among the numbe'r are Cenevieve Clark Wilson, sopra no. Harriet Frahm. contralto. H. Aug. Smith, tenor, and Gustaf Hol quist. bass. With the grand chorus of 14-> voices, these will p)resent such an array of musical talent as has never before been seen in this section. All.of them will come to Greenwood in April with a reputation well earn ed. with voices, well known and appre ciated and on Wednesday night, the 18th which is Artists Night will de light a large audience which has al ready signified its intention of com ing. S. C. Hodges, of Greenwood, who is in charge of the tickets, and can furnish any information, states that the seat sale has been more than gratifying, and that the only way to secure the best locations in the audi torium is to write for them now. Finished the Course in Pharmacy. Mr. Warren Edward Fulmer and Mr. Perry Drayton Simpson, who have been attending the Atlanta Col lege of: Pharmacy. have completed the conrSe and wvill receive their diplo mas at the commencement Monday evenin, April 2.
