Purcell, P. M. JOHN WESLEY WICKER. er - - Pi Quietly Falls on Sleep At His th Cottage Home Saturday in Night. . fo sli John Weslev Wicker was for for- V ty years an employe of this office. fa In speaking of him and of Hosea bu M. Barger who has been With the at office some ten years longer. The Her- co ald and News in November of last th year printed the following: wl "Mr. Wicker has not seen service ev quite so long. He was a son of Mr. Andrew M. Wicker, known to the middle age of men and women of the community now, when they were boys and girls as "Candy Wicker," and efi be be sh - th, lai on ed ho gu ho an sei we tin seE lit JOHN W. WICKER. ha ran his candy shop on the corner ha which is now occupied by W . en. Smith. "John W. Wicker, the printer, was an born October 24, 1847. Twenty years ha later he began the printer's trade on th' the Progressive Age, which at that it time was published b y R. H. Greneker. Later he became connected with the we Newberr.y Herald published by Thos. nei F. Greneker, and has been with the th( office continuously since. He entered MI the Confederate Army in the boy mI company, known as Company A, of which W. H. Holman was Captain, ab in April 1864 and served with his an company until the close of the war.'' boo In his cottage home in Cline street he where he had lived for several years y himself, on Saturday night, just ne~ s a new Sabbath day was being ush- hea red in, at a quarter past 12 o'clock, abi is soul passed quietly and peaceful- he y into the great beyond. He was bo ended during the watches of the Pls ight by a son of the editor of The an! erald and News, Jas. L. Aull and br< a fellow employe of the office, Ira thi Sligh. After he became worse some *we en days ago a negro man was em loyed to attend him and he too was RO resent. The end 'was as a child' falling.on sleep. .'. The neighbors of the community illi ad been kind to him and had con- Au stantly sent him suchi delicacies as He hey thought he would relish and no Ca ne 'could have appreciated these at. dus entions more. He ofteni spoke to us S. bout the kindness of the ladies who die ived near his cottage home. In Upon his return from the reunion ani n Columbia he had .a severe cold and Ar rew gradually worse. 'Some three S. r four weeks ago we told him he He ad better not try to work, that he 18f ould remain out of the office and pal his pay would be continued thou'gh sdi mall and his reply was that he did Gr< ot see how we could get along' with- ter ut his help and as long as he was effi ble he insisted on coming to 'do what doi e could to help the work along. I He was faithful- and'- true to the we' office and during the twenty years act e have been in charge he was alway. sha illing to do cheei-fually 'wha(t he ,rg ould and to do it without comp>laii- wil ifg. :as He has never for forty 'ye.ars work- a 1 d in any other office and:we do not the think it ever entered his mind' to try he o get work any ivhere else. He was sies o an expert workman:I and 'he was wa not swift, biut unless he was sick you mu ould always count on him to do the ma best he could and what more can fiel nyone do. ' He was not confined to his bed and de~ was conscious to the last moment. ha~ Dr. J. A. Meldau was very a'tten- pla tive to him during his last days and. gave him what relief he could. inl The Revs. G. A. Wright and A. H. ow Best spent several hours with him on bei Saturday. Many years ago he joined eit the Methodist church. His father, Mr. ~ A. M. Wicker, was an ardent Meth- boi odist, and took an active interest 'in the ll church matters. He died in No-: ser ember, 1875. His mother died a short time after, leaving him and one ed sister, Nannie. She still survives. So His body was buried beside his of other in Rosemont Sunday after noon. The services were conducted J t the grave by the Rev Geo. A. ly. Wright of the Baptist church. of Many beautifiul flowers were plac d upon his grave and many friends I aid their last tribute to his memory. deE encomium could be paid any one. ty is it cannot always be said of Lse in more pretentious positions society. We did what we could r him while he lived and in his last kness to make the burden light. e laid his body beside those of 'his ther and mother, with Christian rial. We know lie appreciated these tentions while he lived and if he uld speak would still appreciate em. In the humbler walks of life frequently find the strongest idences of true friendship. Peace to his soul. Made Manager. Miss Sue Dean, who has been the icient telegraph operator at New rry since Miss Holland left was on anday made manager of the New rry office. She is competent and liging and will continue to fill the s;ition at Newberry.

It was a plantation barbecue i after* his invited guests had been ved, the negroes on the plajitation re seated at the table land served ,h this most excellent cue. At one ie we noticed about one hundred lted at two*tables ranging from the ;e piekaninnies to the old gray red mamas and they seemed as ppy as happy could be and were joying the feast to the utmost. 9r. Aul. has adopted this custom, I this is not the first barbecue he a served for his friends'as well as laborers from his plantation, and is a most happy idea. [hose who went~from Newberry as 11 as those who were from the ghborhood enjoyed the dinner to utmost. The cue was cooked by W. C. Sligh and the meats were st delightful. dr.

At Newberry Last Saturday-Atten dane Good-Many People Inter ested in the Exhibits. The Clemson Institute was held in Newberry oil Saturday and at Pros perity on Friday. Aloing with the ear are Professors Harper. Newman. Doggett and Mor rison. They have two cars, which have been fitfed up by the Southern railway, in one of which the profes sors live and- slep and in the other they have a great many exhibits, showing the- work done at Clemson college. The professors also lecture on sUbjects pertaining to their several chairs, and then invite the farmers and ladies and people generally to go througi the ear, where they explain again the work that is being done at this institution. At Prosperity there was . a very large gathering of farmers, probably 1,500 people being present. A barbe cue was served and the meeting was held in the grove about a mile from the town and the speeches were delivered at this place. Unfor tunateily a shower of rain interrupted the meeting, but the farmers were very much interested in getting all the information possible pertaining to their calling. At Newberry the speeches were made in the court house and the meeting here was quite sue cessful and quite a number of far mers was present, who gave very close attention to all the lectures. Mr. R. T. C. Hunter presided and intro duced the speakers. Prof. Newman talked on the in creased production of orops, laying special stress on4eotton, by selection of seed and varities. He told of the work done at the various emperiment stations in the development of new varieties, testing them and discard ing or recommending as their yields justified. The upland long staple was taken up and recommended as it will give larger cash returns than the cortimon short staple kind. He show ed that by improving the quality that a man could get twice the profit from the same yield of cotton. The next speaker, Prof. . Harper, took up soil improvement. First, bet ter preparation by deep plowing so as to give th.e plant roots a larger feeding be.d to hold the moisture and to let in air and water to break down and make available the l.arge quanti ies of plant food now in all of our soils; second, by the proper use of commercial fertilizer for the perman ent improvement of soil as well as the next crop grown; third, by the rotation of crop; so as to protect the and from washing in winter by the~ use of the liguminous plants to pro duce nitrogen, and to .turn under to put humans or vegetable matter in the soil. This method of r~otation does not continually drain the land of the saie elements of plant food as the sae crop year after year. In order to get the best results from this system he said we would have to raise more cattle to consume some of rops in the rotation arid that this would prove very profitable. Take for example: Cotton seed meal is worth more as a cattle food than it is as a fertilizer and the manure from the animal bed will contain 80 per cent of the fertilizing properties of the meal. The humus in the manure nore than pays for the 20 per cent taken out by the animal. Prof. Mrwson was the last speak er. His subject wvas industrial educa tion. In his talk on industrial educa tion he said that he was not fighting education along any other line and he wished they had more of it. He brought out that industrial education taught the dignity of honest work That it not only fitted a young man o take charge and direet t),*e great ndustries, but to actually become a part of them arid do the work. That the world was calling for young men ad women that could actually do things, and that industrial education, in its broader meaning, was the only way to fit our young people to take advantagre of the many opportunities that are offering every day. Pi-of. Morrison closed his talk with the remark. That he noticed that New berry college had recently instituted technical course and that he must be right or he had some mighty good company. The Clemson exhibit car was on ex ibition at the union 'depot and was full of visitors all day looking at the various exhibits and having them ex plained. These exhibits show the work done by the students in the var ios d'epartments of the college an,i great deal of interest was shown by the visitors. Excursion to Charleston. On Monday, August 29, the C., N. L. will operate on deCursion to harlestron and Tsle of Palms. The rate from Newberry for round trip will be only $5. Tickets on sile next JOLLY JOLLY STREET. A Good Barbecue-Clever People Noted for Thrift and Interest in Public Affairs. The jolliest part of Newberry coun ty i., a: its name implies, Jolly Street. h>m the iemote past to the present ibis section has been the rallying point for political leaders and politi cal aspirants. The people have long been noted for their thrift and for the interest they take in public af fairs and most especially for the wel come reception of visitors and a rollicking frollicing disposition to have fun and a general good time whe:-ever there is a public gathering in the community. It was the writer's happy privilege to anend the barbecue given by the Richardson brothers on last Thursday at the school house. A large crowd was out-larger perhaps than is usu al even for a campaign meeting at this place, several hundred people be ing present. The cue was an excellent one; the meats were tender and juicy and having that peculiar flavor that com pels you to ask for more even when, prudence and conscience both ad monish you that you -have enough. Good order prevailed throughout the day and everybody seemed happy and serene.. The writer met many of his old friends-in fact there were none in the crowd who were strangers to him. It is always a pleasure to meet old friends and to shake their hands in the good old fashioned way that has almost been forgotten-no cold tip ping of the fingers but a good hearty hand squeeze. An,ocasion of this kind is especi ally pleasing to an er-school teaber. Boys and girls who wore knee-pants and short dresses when we taught here two.or three years ago came tQ us in larger garbs and with smiles on their faces seemed to take exquisite pleasure in our discomfiture in being unable 'to indentify them as to call them by name. We could only re mark :"Goodnes how you all have grown; running up like cornstalks in shady places, etc." We are sure that when the Jolly old set of Jolly Street passes away that there will be a jolly young set equal ly'as jolly to take their places. Long live Jolly Street. ' T.E. W. Chilren's Day. Children's Day will be observed at St. Matthews Lutheran church on Saturday the 31st day of August. ~The superintendent of the Sunday school is Mr. W.
