lie editor of The Herald and News
'd the pleasure last week of *spend
the night in Saluda county. He
accompanied by Mr. M. Rutledge
vr, of Charleston, G. G. C., of
Knights of Pythias of this state,
Mr. J. 13. 0 'Neall Holloway, of
berry. The puirposo of the trip
N the institution of a lodge of
nights of Pythias at Mt. Enon, or
ery near the old Mt. Enon. The
party left,Newberry early in the day
on Friday and traveled by way of
the steel bridge and through the
Coleman community to the home of
Mr. Henry EIlis, arriving at 3 o'clock
and enjoying with Mr. and Mrs.. El
lis, a most excellent dinner, in fact,
a real country dinner, which only
those who know wIha that means can
have any idel of tile repast which
was spread before, tle visitors.
This section of the county is one
of the best rural contimities in tle
sta-te. !The lands are fertile, the
farmers prosperous. and everything
has the oppoarance of confort and
good livin.
Mr. Pink Bouknight, whlo at one
time lived in Newberry county, lives
near by and three or four of his sons
have settled in calling distance of
his home, and Mr. W. E. Clary, who
has two sons in Newberry, lives also
in the community. In conversation
with Mr. Clary, the qquestion, of
course, of the weather came up, and
ie remarked that his recollection of
the cold spell in A'pril, 1849, was
very distinct. He says that the snow
which fell in tha.t year and in that
month was on Sunday. the 15th day
of April, and that on Monday it was
-still very cold, and lie remembers
that lie was a pupil at that time at
the Mt. Enon Academy, and that,
seventy pupils answered that morn
ing to roll call andi( diriiinr the fifty
ei,ht years since that April morniig
fifty-ei,ri1 of those seventy have
died. and twelve are still livi.r. Mr.
Cliirv ha.s furnisniid The JTerald a
News with the names o the sevenlty
and they are published in this con
neetion.
The new iodge is located within
one-half mile of where the old Mt.
Enon Academy stood, and the lodge
room is upstairs over a new school
building, which has just been, erected
in this district. In those days Mt.
Enon was a famous school, and pu
pils attended not only from the com
munity, but from miles away 'and
among the pupils were a number of
Newberry boys and girls.
The following is the roll call as
fuit ished by Mr. Clary:
Tle dead that answered roll call
at Mt. Enon Academy, April 16,
1849, the day after the snow of 15th
