FOR A HOSPITAL. e Committee from Chamber of Con merce to Confer with Phy sicians. . The Hearld and News has froi a time to time had something to sa about the building of a hospital i r Newberrv. It is learned that th president of the Chamber of Corr merce some ten days ago appointed special committee, composed c Messrs. G. B. Cromer, J. B. Hunte and F. N. Martin, to gather some sta tistics and information in regard t the operation and cost as well as th t success of hospitals in other communi ties. It is also learned that this com 7 mittee will have a meeting with th physicians of the city in the Chambe 1 of Commerce rooms this afternoon a 6 o'clock. It will cost some money t - erect a hospital that will be suitabl i for a community of this size, and i - will cost something to keep it ii I operation, and it is not probable tha the income will be sufficient to pa; rI any dividends, but it is a work whic would benefit humanity and be : blessing to many, who are not able to go to more expensive hospitals an< would be a worthy object for our lib eral citizens to take into serious con sideration. If some citizen, who i! possessed of ample means, would con tribute some $10,000 as a starter, b would thus erect a monument to hi! memory, which would be more lastin, I than any monument of brass oi I stone and which would continue to d< ogood and alleviate suffering as thi years go by.. It is hoped that something wil come of the meeting, which it is pro posed to hold this afternoon with thi special committee and the physician of the community. KTTJn BY LIGHTNING. House on Mr. H. T.

KILLING NEAR PROSPERITY. Two Negro Women Have a Dispute, Husbands are Drawn Into it, and One is Shot to Death. Prosperity. Au. 4.-The ever-ready pistol -ot in its work near Prosperitv la-te Saturday evening. Fed Boyd and Will Johnson, tenants of Mr. Geori:e Hunter of the St. Luke's com munity, had differences during the year. Will tanked up on "blind-tig er'' and got obstreperous and left town to escape the guardhouse. It de veloped'at the inquest held today by Magistrate B. B. Hair that Fed and Will met on the way home, and Will's wife "cussed" Fed's wife. and that brought the men into it. Will was walking and dared Fed to get out of the wagon. Fed got out and Will opened on him with his rapid-fire Maxim, firing six times and hitting him once. That was fatal, entering just over the heart. Boyd sank to the ground and died at once. He was brought back to town and the jury of inquest found "that Fed Boyd came to his death from a gunshot wond at the hands of Will Johnson." Johnson is still at large. He told Mr. Hunter he would give himself up and wanted him to go on his bond. The State. . Johnson came to Newberry on Sun day and surrendered to the sheriff and is now in jail. His version of the difficulty differs somewhat from the above. He confirms sthe statement that about a month or such matter ago his wife and Boyd's wife had some difference and he siys that Boyd's people doubleteamed on his wife, and as a result he had Boyd's wife indict ed before Magistrate .Hair. At the in tervention of Mr. Hunter, however, they agreed to settle this difficulty and had apparently made friends. On Saturday while in Prosperity, John son says that he was toldl by someone else that Boyd's wife had pushed his wife off the sidewalk, but that he did not trouble him about this. About dark he and his Wife started to their home on' foot and according to his statement, were not apprehend ing any difficulty with Boyd. Soon after they had left the town, however, they were overtaken by Boyd and his wife and son in the wagon and at that time he asked Boyd why he had push ed his wife off the street and double teamed on .him, so to speak. Boyd immediately junmped out of the wa gon and assaulted Johnson, wrench iiig his arm and striking him on the side of the head, and in the meantime a son of Boyd's assaulted him from the rear, striking him in the back. He thereupon drew his pistol and shot four times, one of the balls proving fatal. Johnson says that he was -not drink ing and a'hd had no whiskey during the day. He said. that it was purely accidental that he happened to have a pistol. That some one, who owned the pistol, had offered to pawn it to him if he would lend him fifty cents. but he did not have fifty cents, but told this party that he had forty cents and he loaned the forty cents and ac epted the pistol as security and that he had had it for only about one-half hour. He says that when he left Prosperity on Saturday afternoon he thought that Boyd and. his wife had gone ahead of him and he was not anticipating any difficulty. Death of An Only Child. Wliliam Elsivorth Augustus Kibler, the only child of Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Kibler, after a long illness, died at their home in Newberry on Saturday. Aged, 14 months. The burial was had at Rosemont on Sunday afternoon.. Death is always sad and if it can be more sad it is when the only tight is taken from the home, but the par ents should remember that these dis pensations are meant for our good and it is only through suffering that we ean be made perfect.

At Motreat he attended thet lPresbyter LITTLE MOUNTAIN REUNION. Exceptionally Large Crowd-C., N. & L. Gives Good Service-Gov. Ansel and Others Speak. The nual reunion of the students and friends of Newberry college was held at Little Mountain on Frday. This is probably one of the largest aitherinos of its kind that is held anywhere in the state. There are al ways from three to five thousand peo ple who attend these gatherings. They 2o in order that they might meet their friends at least once a year from all of the surrounding country, and it has come to be one of the fixed institutions of this section. The college always arranges fof speeches to be delivered on the sub ject of education. but as a rule, the neople do not attend these gatherings for the purpose of listening to speech es and the speeches are heard by a very small portion of the people who attend. This year it was the general opin ion that the crowd was the largest in the history of these reunions. The C., N. & L. railroad made what it thouoht ample preparations to han ile the crowd that would go on the trains, and instead of having only three or four passenger coaches, as has been the custom, there were this year ten coaches on the train which came from Laurens. Two of these coaches were filled before the train reached Newberry, and the crowd at ewberry left scarcely standing room for those who might desire to Let on at stations between here and Little Mountain. There were about six hundred tickets sold at Newber ry and about three hndred at Pros perity. A large portion of the pas sengers at Prosperity had to .vait antil the train could come back from Little Mountain for them. This road also ran a special train rrom Colum bia, which brought about five hun red people. On the return trip the C., N. &. L. made an extra run to ewberry, permitting those who lesir ed to leave the mountain at 4 o'clock and reach Newberry about 5 o'clock. Everybody who had to go by train this, year was ready and willing,to vote a resolution of thanks to the] management of the C., N. &. I. for their efforts to accommodate and take care of the passengers who desired to attend the reunion. In fact, the of ficials did more than could have been reasonably expected of them and showed every disposition to accom modate their passengers. This is the first year that a special has been run from Columbia. At least 1,500 people went to the mountain by rail this yer and a very conservative estimate would place the attendance between five and six thousand people. It was a jolly and -good-natured crowd and everybody seemed to enjoy meeting everybody else, though the dust was in evidence and the heat was some what excessive at the foot of the mountain. A number of speeches were made by the friends of Newberry college on the subject of education, including an address of welcome by Mr. Virgil Sease. The other speeches were made by Rev. .J. H. Wilson, J. Brooks Wingard and Prof. C. H. Kieklighter. Prof. Kicklighter is in charge of the technical department of Newberry college and his speech dealt with the importance to the south in this in dustrial aee of fitting its young men to take charge of the opportunity which is presented for material de velopment. In the afternoon President Scher er made a short address and introduc ed Gov. M. F. Ansel, who came up on the midday train. Special Services at Trinity.
