Name for Himself. oman 's Home Companion. A New York business man says that he nce had in his employ as office boy a lad named Magillicuddy. Nat urally enough this youngster received so many joking references about his name from his fellow employees that he became extremely dissatisfied with it. So when he applied for a place under another employer in the build ing he evidently decided to bestow a new name upon himself. When the man to whom he applied asked him his name the boy replied: 'Robert Recapitulation.'' 'That's an odd name,'' said the man after having the. lad repeat it several times. The bof looked surprised. ''Have n 't you heard of General Capitula tion?'' asked he. ''No.'' ''Why his name is in all the re pot-nM.Ban sofc. men i un RIank's office.'' THOSE NEW SCHEDULES. The Railroad Commission Want A Reason From Southern-Com mission Is Right. The railrad commission. says Sat irdav's Giltumbia Record, sent the following to Superintendent Williams, Assistant (eneral Passenger Agent Brooks Mr;-an and Division Pas sen!er Agent R. W. Hunt: Dear Sir: You will remember that at a conference held in this office on the 16th of Mereh.;a'>partial agree ment was reached whereby the sehed Iles on the C. and G. road were chanzed to take effect about the 10th of April. Numerous complaints and inquiries are coming into this office in regard to the status of the case. Will you please notify this commission what your purpose is regarding this mat ter? The opinion of this commicsion is that the agreement should be cor ried out unless shown to the commis sion that it would be unwise to make this change. J. H. Wharton, Chairman. The railroad commission is right. If the change of schedul, agreed upon is to be left to the petitions then let it be known and some good long peti tions could be presented. There are lots of people in Greenwood and An derson who would like to see the change and petitions could secure signers in both these communities asking for the change. And besides Anderson is not on the Columbia and Greenville division anyway. We are glad to see that Columbia is at last waking up. If a primary election is to decide just call the election and we will get there with the votes, all the way from Greenville to Columbia. The fact is the railroad commission prQmised that if the proposed sched ule 'was held up for any - cause we. would be given a hearifig before any change was made from the one agreed upon at that meeting in Columbia on March 16. If the commission will stand up and ask for the arrangement for the change of schedule agreed up on to be made effective the railroads will make the change. Mimnaugh's Big Six Days'' Sale. Mimnaugh expects to make consid erable improvements to his store dir ing the summer and will inaugurate a big six days' sale tomorrow.

Captain Lanford told a Greenville reporter when he left on Saturday that he had decided to eat up New berry college and upon this decision the lcal college entered the game with fear and trembling. As a mat ter of fact, Newberry was .too big .a mouthful for Furman to swallow and on the fifth?.pitcher, Lanford made a new decision, viz: that he would al low himself to be chewed up a little instead of swallowing Newberry at a gulp. Two to nothing was the score and Newberry did it. Crouch was invinci ble and the other part of the team played a brilliant game. There is no doubt but what Newberry college has the best college pitcher in the south. He was a source of general comment among the Columbia professional players. Cabaniss is probably the fastest man in college, circles today. A record of stealing second twice on Dunn, the college catcher. Coach Hol land is to be congratulated on a well trained team. The next game on the campus is I against Clemson on Saturday, the 28h. Much interest is felt here in the game and large crowds will attend from nearby towns. Counts-Rikard Married at the home of the bride's brother, Mr. R. C. Counts, Miss Bes sie B. Counts and Mr. Pearl L. Ri kard, the Rev. M. 0. J. Kreps offici ating. Stone-Suber. Mr. John A. Suber and Miss Arie E. Stone, both of Newberry, were married Sunday, April 15, at the cir cuit parsonage by Rev. A. H. Best. Lominick-Ringer. Mr. Henry D. Ringer and ,Miss Fanie Lominick were married on April 15, by Rev. J. J. Long.. Gov. Guild's Stammering Story. Boston Herald. .Gov.. Guild of Massachusetts tells this story': e In Tremont street there used to be a stammering college kept by Prof. Graves. Next door to this college was a flower store. Prof. Graves' method was to ask each pupil what phrase he would like to learn to say perfect ly. Then the professor would drill the pupil on that one phrase or sen tence. One day a friend of mine, who was afflicted with the stuttering habit, de ided to patronize the professor. Be fore he went into the studio, however, he stopped to look in the flower store at some very handsome yellow chrys anthemums. Then he went up stairs to see the professor. "Now, my dear fellow,'' said Prof. Graves, "is there anything particular you would like to learn to say perfect Iv?" "W-w-w-well, y-yes, th-thei'e is,'' said the stammerer.. :" I sh-sh-should like f-t-to be able t-t-. to s-say ch erys-rys-ch' erysanth4b~-the- m-rn mum before the darn .ting f-fades!'' Another Reason. Aunt Emmneline is the best loved woman in Saymouth, for her charity is alike of hand and';.:heart. Like many other excellentppersons, Aunt Emeline is not a ehurch' member, but she is a regular attendant at the village church, which is near her cot tage as to seem under. the same roof. When, at the close .of a recent* ser mon, the: minister reqwsted all those present who had never uniited with the church to retire, everybody was sur prised to see Aunt Emmeline rise and start down the aisle. "Aunt Emmeline,'' the minister called softly, P that does not apply to y ou' "That isn 't why IF m going,'' Aunt Emeline responded -serenely. "I smell my dinner burning up.'' Bad for His Business. Mick 0O'Flannigan of Liverpool, is an Irish gentleman who pursues the humble but useful occupation of rag man, though at one time he served her majesty in foreign parts as a soldier of the line. Mick is a great orator in his way, frequently addressing lo cal meetings, at which he generally draws upon his military experience for appropriate illustrations. On one occasion he was endeavor ing to prove that even a savage state is better than the condition of Ire land. "Gintlemen.'' he exclaimed, "I saw little children out in Africa there. They had no clothes, it is true. They were naked. but they were free!'' "Bad place for a ragman, Mick!'' shouted a small boy in the rear, and the orator callapsed amid the laughter Of the audience. From Hiltop. The writer recently witnessed a novel sight. A young lady returning from a neighbor's house, carried a parlor rifle for protection. And she knows how to use it too. In a com munity where there are ferocious ani mals, it would be well for all of our good women to understand the use --f fire arms, especially in rural commu nities. Mr. Fred Norris. of Newberry county, and Miss Carrie Luper, of Fairfield, were married on the -11th inst. Mrs. Nord. is a niece of Mrs,j Frank M. Schifnert. Miss Julia Norris, of Fairfield, is spending some time with her brother, Fred, and Mrs. Norris. Cotton planting will likely be gen eral next week. More commercial fertilizers are used this year per acre than ever before. This, in part, accounts for the large amounts bought. Mr. Luther Mayer has, perhaps, a larger per cent of his farm in grain than any other farmer in this section and he has a good prospect. Miss Hunter, who is teaching our school, seems to give general satis faction. The school has never had a more- competent and efficient teacher. While finishing a well recently, Mr. Geo. P.,Hill dropped his watch in the well. The watch was an heir!oom and on that account especially re gretted to lose it. However, as the well is shallow, and a temporary one, he hopes to recover the lost time piece. One of the principal topics of con versation among the negroes this week, is the return of a family from Liberia. I understand that they were aided financially in making their way back by a good white friend. Forind'r ly the negroes had the pleasure of vo ting early, late and often. When, therefore, restrictions were put upon suffrage Steve Saltei- was humiliated and forthwith began to pr.each an ex -odus to Liberia. Those likeminded with himself he proposed to leadnt. of South Carolina bondage. To those of contrary mind he said: "Sleep on." Steve was a thrifty negro and from the sale of his effects he realized a snug sum of money. In due time the emigrants starteil to the town of' their ancestors in Africa. (On their way out they experienced miueh suf fering, some died and .were buried ing the ocean. Arrived in Liberia Salte.# must not have found it- to be the El Dorad1o that he expected, so leaving his followers to take eWe ofLthem selves as best they could he ,was soon back in South Carolina. Sinehiis re turn from the promised"land, Salter has not resided in the section where he preached the exodus. B. Maine's Legislature Thirsty. Boston Herald. In the capital city of Maine, in a hotel not far from the railroad sta tion, was employed for some years be fore the enactment of the Sturgis law a very popular dispenser of ardent comfort.. One stormy night the train from Bangor was belated until nearly midnight, and a party of Boston men arrived, tired and hungry. After reg istering, they spied a light in tle dis pensary, and found the ''ehemist'' on duty, and a supp,)y iof malt .and spir ituous fluids and some crackers and cheese were obtained, As the or<dinances of most cities-in prohibition states reggir'ed 1,0 o'clock closing, ''Jake'' was' asked* why he happened to be open so late. ''Well,'' he replied, '"we don't gen erally, but just now the legislagre is in session, and we have to be accom modating t6 the mena*Mrs.'' Sleeping Place for Cas. For cats is well ' e~ogs, theet est sleeping place is a strong, closely woven wicker basket. Favorite pets have a basket with a curving canopy top, decked out with a big satin bow and carpetida with a rug of white goat 's hair. Simpler baskets are round and fiat show a deep open ing at one side. A soft blanket should always be laid in the bottom of these and made fresh and clean at least once a week, says the Philadelphia Record. A pet is so very tidy about her own appearance that she requires less attention than a canary or a dog. As a kitten, a dish of milk should be piace. ed where she can always take a drink. An older cat always likes a bowl of milk kept filled for her in the kitch en, while the scraps from the table comprise the remainder of her nour ishment. Scarcely any meat should be given in a cat 's diet during winter. Hair and Havird. Desire it to be distinctly understood that they are still d1oing business at the old stand and if you want .white goods. millinery or anything in their line they- can serve you and serve you well.
