The old soldiers who wore the gray are this week gathered in New Or leans in annual reunion. Forty-one years have passed since the flag of the Confederacy was furled at Appo mattox, . and the great majority of those who survived the War Between the States'have since gone to the final reunion in the great beyond. We would have them with us always if we could, because the south cherishes the, principles for whi6h she fought, and loves th6se who made in their be half sacrifices than which the world has seen none greater among men. In New Orleans this week there are cheers for the living and tears for the dead, and again in a city intensely southern the Stars and Bars float above the southern army. In reminis cence the veterans are living over again the days between '61 and '65, and in the parades elbows are touch ing which touched last on fields of carnage. The whole south wishes the veter ans the best reunion in the history of these annual gatherings. The south yields to no other section in loyalty to a country now reunited, but she would not forget a past of which her peoplet have cause always to be proud. The nation has responded liberally to the call for help that came from San Francisco immediately following the great earthquake which well-nigh destroyed that city. However commer cial may be the age in which we live, the appeal from a distressed people is never unanswered in this country. -With the meeting of the 6ounty democratic convention on Monday, Miay 7, .the political pot in this coun ty will begin to boil. ,There has been little interest so far in county poli tics. Factionalism long since died in Newberry county, and we are all of one party. 'We are not agreed as to many questions now before the peo ~ple of the state demanding solutien, but it is i;o be., hoped that both the state and county campaign this sum mer wi'll be pitehed upon a high plane, and that the people will cast their votes with an eye single to the best in terests of' South Cai-olina and of N. ewberry county. * St. Paul's Items. St. Paul's, April 23.-The farmers of this section of the county are well under way with their planting. There is a large .quantity of corn being planted-more fertilizer used to the acre for cotton-the acreage not more ; han last year-a large quantity of oats sown. All on account of the scarcity of labor. St. Paul's observed Good Friday preaching, preparatory service and -council meeting, and missionary meet ing by the women. The Lord's sup per was administered to 158 commu nicants, and seven admissions to the e hurch membership by* confirmatioi -on Easter Sunday. . Mr. Geo. B. Aull was elected del egate to conference which convenes a Bethlehem. church -en Friday of thi' week. The officers.elected for St. Paul' CSuniday school are: L. I. Epting, su 'perintendent; J. A. C. Kibler, assist ant superintendent; J. C. Aull, see Iretary and treasurer; G. B. Aull, li brarian. The graveyard committee and men bers of the association .have complel ed the enlargement of the grave yari Mr. Lee Stone has completed handsome residence ahd will move i a few days. Mr. S. W. Williamson has built hii a house and will move soon. I em peet he will get him a help meet sool Mr. Geo. P. Hill has been in th community giving the water-borir wells. Mrs. M. J. Dickert spent the pa week with her daughter, Mrs. L. Epting. More soon. E. Completes Quarter Century. Mr. William P. ouseal, on Satu day, April 21st, finished his twent fifth year of continuous service wil the Lutheran Visitor and its succees the Lutheran Church Visitor. It is pleasure to give this recognition this long period of unselfish, conscie tious service. Many have been t] messages of comfort he has been i strumental in sending out. Hius wo: has been varied. He has done some everything connected with the mx meania work on the papner. has mai times done all of the editorial work has continuously furnished the newc items and the family page matter, haE conducted all, or part, of the businest affairs of the paper, and has visited every part of the field to which thE paper has gone. Everywhere, througi these years he has extended his in fluences for good. His purposes have always been pure and unselfish and his efforts honest and conscientious. The good he has been enabled to do no man can measure. He has the esteem and appreciation of the whole church, and hundreds of friends join in the wish that he may be permitted to give many-years yet to this great cause. Lutheran Church Visitor. Snowdrift and Wesson Cooking Oil. It is an innovation for the good people of Newberry to attend the demonstration of Snowdrift and Wes son Cooking Oil that is being held in the McCaughrin block this week. Golden brown doughnuts, dainty "feather" cake, biscuit, etc., fashion ed by Mrs. Beeks are served most gra ciously. The cooking is so satisfactory that one forgets to remark "not like moth er makes.'" When it is learned that these vegetable products are whole some, it is gratifying to the sense of health. We are told Wesson Oil is so pure that it can be used in the making of ice cream. Added to a churning, a cupful to three gallons of clabber, it will in crease the butter yield to a marked degree. Snowdrift-is made from the highest refined cotton seed oil and choice beef suet. Wesson cooking oil is a pure oil containing no animal fit. This is the age of careful diet and as a result of this care, a woman used to be old at thirty, today she is young at fifty. It is suggested that the up-to-date housewife would do well to call at the McCaughrin building and be initiated into this use of southern products. A Lutherai Church For Silver Street. A number of people intdrested in a Lutheran church met at the home of Mr. B. M. Havird of that'"place last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock to consider this subject. It was found that if we had a church building, a congregation of perhaps fifty memb)ers could be omanized at once. .it was found that a Sunday school of nearly as many pupils could be organizedl. It was also found that a very* commend able effort had been made to secure funds to erect a suitable church build ing. In view of these facts it was decided that we build a Lutheran hureh at Silver Street. A large and desirable lt was at once purchased for this purpose and paid for. A fi nance committee was appointed to attenid to the financial part of this work. Mr. H. 0. Long, of Silver Street, S. C., was elected treasurer. All those who have already subscrib ed something towards the building of this chtirch if they wish to save the committee the trou}le of coming te collect, can do so by sending contribu tions direct to the treasurer and he will send a receipt. Of course if you. do noi wish to take the trouble to send in your subscription, a member of om committee will come to see you. A building committee was also ap pointed. Plans for a suitable churei building are to be secured at once aiu the w~ork of erecting the church is t< begin as soon as convenient. While this work is taken up with almost u.n eqalled earnestness by those imme diately concerned, still we do not hay sufficient funds to build the churel Thus we* appeal to all our brethre for help. All who wish to help .worthy cause, may do so by sendin contributions direct to Mr. Long c by giving us a nice subscription whe seen by a member of our finance con .mittee. a S. P. Koon, H. 0.

Editor Herald and News: "It has even been said that Governor Hey ward has said he would not put on the extra tax. Heyward has nothing to do with it. The legislature has al ready put on this half mill tax, and the legislature by its act said if you vote out the dispensary this tax shall ;be levied. Therefore. by voting out the dispensary you vote on the tax. Also, you will not receive any part of the school fund." "He also spoke of the fact that the country was not policed as was the town, and that it would be even more impossible to suppress blind tigers in the country than in the town, and said they would flourish from the day the dispensary was voted out.' ''After the dispensary. then what? Blind tigers throughout the county and social clubs in the town, with the card table, the social drink and the poker game. ''Some say that they are voting against the dispensary to get rid of the clubs. If the dispensary is voted out the vote does not affect the clubs. They remain just the same. because they are chartered institutions by the state. So if the dispensary goes, there remain with you the clubs, the blind tiger and other ways of illicit liquor selling, with no revenue." "Your tax levy is now two and one half mills for county purposes. If the dispensary is voted out, it will be necessarily five mills. The loss on dis pensary profits for the remaining months of this year will cause a defi ciency in the present fiscal year which will also have to be met by the levy for the next year. Besides this we lose all the money which we have been receiving from the state dispensary fund for our public schools, as this is provided in the Brice bill." The above are quotations from the speeches of Senator Cole L. Blease last summer when * the dispensary question was being agitted. What are the e6nditions today?7 Let's see. Dr. Cromer says in his letter to the gov ernor: "After conferring with a number 'sof those who led in the oppo sition to the dispensary in this county. and. who are in fa;vor of law and or der, I- am writing to ask: that you send constables to this county to en force the law against the illicit trame in liquor. The law is enforced in theI town of Newberry, but not in the country and smaller towns. It is bootless to argue * * * for what the county nee is is an~ enforcement of the law now. And it has beeonie clear enough that the law will not i>e'en-1 forced outside of the towns,'' etc. 'How does this compare ,with the statement' of Senator Blease last sum mer? How does it compare with the1 fact that d'uring this week the mayror< has tried and convicted three persons for selling liquor within the incor porate limits of the town of New berry. If the law is being enforced in Newberry why should the mayor be punishing these innocent (7) persons? Who. hollers first for the constables to come to Newberry county? -The citizens of Prosperity.

'Batesburg, April S4.-Batesburg and vicinity was shocked and sadden ed' when it was announced on the strets at 11 o 'clock today that Hon. A. P. Childs had suddenly died at the ~Lexington hotel. Mar. Childs was a brother of Maj. F. W.. Childs,one of the proprietors and manager of the beautiful hostelry situated at Sum merland, and had come south a few weeks ago to visit his brother and to enjoy the salubrious climate found only on the Ridge. Mr. Childs was in fairly good - health and had been up and attend [ding to his duties as usual all the morn - -' ing. In fact he had just finished dic rs tating a letter to his stenographer, when the fatal summons came. He E sucumbed to a sudden severe attack r- of chronic arterial trouble and died almost instantly in the arms of his )0 brother, without a struggle and with 0out even a change of countenance. 0 -A number of the prominent citizens 50 of Batesburg assembled at the Lexing 0 ton to extend their aid and sympathy 25 to the stricken family. Appropriate 30 services were conducted by .Revs. E. 0 T. Hodges and Jabez Ferris, p)astors - of the Methodist and Baptist chureh Se. respectively, after which the re 23 'mains were shipped to Castleton, - Vermont. the home of Mr. Childs, for 00 interment.

THE A sad and singular coincidence wa; hat Mr. Childs had made all prepara ions to depart for the north tonighi )ut instead of going to Washingto. L he had intended, his remains were ent on the same train by which h( iad planned to travel to his home ir 'ermont. Hon. A. P. Childs was one of 1 1hildren, seven boys and five girls, 0: he late Maj. A. B. and Mrs. L. C hilds. of Wilmington, Vermont. Hi. randfather was one of the famou. ninute men 'who fought under Gen foseph Warren at the battle of Bunk e,r Hill and who also participated ii ;he battles of Bennington and Sarato a during the 'American revolution r.

He was tason of the 32nd degree, a Knigh 'mplar, a member of the orders o: E(nights of Pythias and Odd Fellows Nlr. Childs hatl served his state wit' marked ability in the Vermont leg isature for several terms. He vol ntarily retired from politics owin to the stress of his many other ardu o s duties. H e was an uncompromisinlg d crat and although he resided in town and county that was strong) Republican yet so great was his pe: sonal popularity that he frequent] &eated prominent Republicans b large majorities. He was a forcefu nanietic speaker and was very effe te in political debate. His rece1 statte of ill health wvas- brought ( partly by the wear and tear of t asst polit'ical campaign in Vermont: whhich he took an active part. Seve all times his state honored him 1 seneding hin as a delegate to the n tioonal Democratie conventions. I ~was a personal friend of the la Saamuel J. Tilden and Mr. Grov CCleveland.
