One Of the Strong Finanoial Institu tions of The City-Over Half Million Paid Share Holders.. In Dividends-Good Sur plus On Hand. It is the purpose of The Herald and News in the next several weeks to write up from time.to time the var ious business and commercial inter ests of the city. Some weeks ago we had Mr. Salter to take interior views of the four banking institutions of the city. These articles are not in tended to be historical, but rather to show the Newberry of today. In this connection, however, as the National Bank is the oldest institution of its kind in the city, and for a great many years was the only bankiig- institu tion in this part of the state, we give today a cut of the three presidents and a statement of its organization. It was organized May 6, 1871, with a capital stock of $150.000.00. At a meeting of the stockholders held June 3, 1871, the following were elected dir*tors: R. L. McCaughrin, J. B. Carwile, J. B. Palmer, G.- T. Scott, Y. J. Pope, John Peterson, E. S. Coppock, Robert R. L,. Mcaughrin, 1871,1896. Moor'man, J. N. Martin,. Mr. R. L.

It is con- 1 ducted on sound business principles and has the entire confidence of our people. The last statement published show ed a deposit account of $272,445.77, surplus and profits, $48,552.73.

Senate Will Not Interifere With Ap pointment-By Strict Party Vote Committee Refuses to Probe Morris Affair. Washington, April 26.-B. F. Barnes, who bechme known from one - end of the co*untry to the other be cause of his connection with the ejec tion of Mrs. Minor Morris from the - White House and who has been nom - inated by the president to be postmas ter of this city, will be* confirmed by the senate without being subjected to , investigation of his conduct. Senator Tillman, who asked for in - vestigation of the Morris affair at. the time it happened, and for an investi - gation of Barnes at the time his nom - inafimn was.sent. to the senate, cal do - nothing more to prevent the presi a dent 's secretary from being confirmed as postmaster. * The vote today against investiga r tion was eight republicans gainst four :1 democrats, and members of the com mittee were present except Dolliver, republican, and Talliferro, democrat. t Republicans voting against investi a gation were: Penrose, chairman; s Proctor, Burrows, Scott, Crane, Ful y ton, Hopkins and Carter. Democrats - voting for investigation were: Clay, a Culberson, Simmons and Raynor. The sub-committee consisting of Carter, a Burrows and Culberson recommended that no investigation be had, and showed that the only investigation I made was at the Wiite House at the time of the Morris affair. Barnes al r so filed a statement asling for an in i vestigation. Culberson, democrat, urged an investigation, but the whole t thing had already been cut and dried, t The defeat of Senator Tillman's de. mand for an investigation of the Mor ris affair and of Barnes' character has created great .indignation among hundreds of people here who have s clamored loudly for Barnes' scalp for his treatment of Mrs. Morris.- This - sentiment -is not confined wholly to . one section, but people from all quar ters are indignant over the outcome. An Easy Solution. Unidentified. One morning as Judge C , of Virginia, was starting for town, lie was approached by one of his negroes, who, with more or less confusion, asked: "Massa, when yo' goes to the co't lhouse will yo' get ie a license? I'se gwine to be mar'ed.'' "Married, are you, Sa'mi All right," called the judge, as lie hasti . ly drove off. Ai'r'ived at the court house he spent a very busy day, and it was not till lie was preparing to leave that lie reinembered Sam's Ii cense, and realized that lie had not. been told the name of the bride-elect. rie old idiot, lie never told me , who he wanted to marry, but, of .course, it's Lucinda ; lie's always making eyes at heri.'' So saying, he retur'ned to the court Lhouse, and had the license made out in the names of Sam and Lucinda. Sam was the first to gr'ec's him upon ,his return with the inquiry: "Glit my license, mussa'' "Yes, Say, you 01(1 1ool. You did n 't tell me who you waited to marry, b ut I remember how you 're alwvays courting Luceinda and got the license in heri name." "Lawv, massa!'' exclaimed Sam, "''taint Lucinda ; it 's Kyaline. Wihat's I gwine to do?'' "Well,"' said the judge, ''the only Ihing wvill be forn mec to get another 'lic'ense.' "Mtassa,"' said Sam, " do yo' pay anyt 'ing fur' dat license?'' ."Yes, Sam, a dollar' and seventy -tiv'e cents more,'' rep)licd tihe judge. AI'tcer scratching his woolly pate f'or a few minutes, Sam rep'hlied: ''Well, massa, I dlone axed1 Kyar line, an ' she said 'yase, ' but dere ain't no0 dollar' and seventy-five cents ,(differ'ence in demi two niggeirs, so I'll ,just take Lucindla.'' Russia's Oversight. "The Russian iiavy would have been 'all right if -it could have follow-. ed the tactics of the girl in the bath ing suit.'' "Byv staying out of the wate.", Death of Dr. Pope. Dr. Sampson Pope died in New berry last Sunday night from the effects of a severe attack of rheu matism. He was about 70 years old and leaves a wife, a son and a daugh ter. The newspaper specials sent out from Columbia announcing the death of Dr. Pope show that some men are so prejudiced, so callous, that they refrain from seeing the virtues and good traits of 'person even after death. An effort is apparently made to emphasize the fact that Dr. Pope ''was an intense Tillman partisan,'' but later ''became a Republican. '' It must he a depraved heart, indeed, that is prompted to make a little political capital at the expense of the (lead. What was the necessity for lugging this into the announcement.. ''Till man partisan'' and ''Republican' were sufficient to hide and smother his virtues. It was only a step fron Tillman partisan '' to '' Republican'' -while nothing is said about the in fluence of some of those who now traduce his memory in inducing him to become an Independent candidate! In the heart and passion of politics 'Dr. Pope, like all of us, may have said anld done things which, in his calmei moments he would not have said or done. But he was not. the man to have needlessly uttered one unkind word that would east the least reflec tion on the dead. The correspondent knew or ought to have known, that Dr. Pope was ' Republican" only in the sense that hundreds of others in South Caroline are RRepublican to-day, (from a commercial stand point) yet who are considered by this same correspondent as exemplary de mocrats. We choose rather to throw the man tle of charity over what sonie would now seem to uncover and expose. It can truly be said that Dr. Pope was a good and useful citizen-his faults, whatever lie had, (and what mortal is exerhpt?) were of the head and not of the heart. In his dealings with his fellow-man lie was upright and hon est and he loved his stat. A high toned, honorable man in every respect. -Laurens Herald. The Great Clock at Rouen. The ancient city of Roten, France, owns the very earliest specimem of the larger varieties of the ancient clock makers' triumphs. It was made by Jehan de Felains and was finished and set going in September, 1389. So perfent in construetion is this ancient time recording machine that, allhomoh it has been re.ilairly strikiig the hours, halves and <Iuarters for centil ries, it is still used ias a regulator. The case of this early borological oddity is six fee eight inches in height by live inclies broad. For 325 years it continued to run without a pendu lum, being provided with 'what Ihe old time O(+cl makers called -a ' 'foliot.'' The Only One of Its Kind. On an evening somewhere about the end of the sixteenth century a travel cer from Sweden might have been ob served at the door of the Rose theater in London. lie was going to see a new p)iece call ''Titus Andronicus, '' and in ordler to follo,w it in the native lan guage lie bought a copy of the play, price sixpence, at the theater door. When he went home to Sweden he took the book with him to show his wife and friendls what strange stuff the foreigner rantedl. For 300 years it was preservedl and in 1904, being discoveredl in thle ho(me of a country wvoman was transferred for safety to the Lunil an iversity. Tfhe book is thle only one of its kind known to exist. Do not mix fresh warm' milk with that which has beeni cooled. Never expose milk to had odors. Give the cows only wholesome food ail pure water'.
