Quietly Fails on Sleep At His Cottage Home Saturday Night. , John Wesley Wicker was for forly years an employe of I his ollice. In speaking of him ami of Ilosea M. Harder who has been with the illice some ten years longer. The lleritld ami News in November of last year printed tlie following*: "Mr. Wicker has not seen service i|ui!e so long. lie was a son of Mr. Amlivw M. Wicker, known to the middle age of men and women of the community now, when they were boys mid girls as "Candy Wicker," and JOHN W. WICK KM. nn his candy shop on the corner illicit is now occupied by W .P. unit It. "John W. Wicker, the printer, was orn October 24, 1847. Twenty years liter he began the printer's trade on lie Progressive Age, which at that ime was published by |{. II. Cireneker. mler lie became connected with the dewberry Herald published by Tlios. 1 \ (Ireneker, and has been with the lliec continuously since, lie entered lie Confederate Army in the boy ] onipanv, known as Company A, of "hicli W. II. llolman was Captain, 1 ii April 1 S(?4 and served with his ' iMiipany until (lie close of the war." ' In tiis cottage home in ('line street ' 'here lie had lived for several years y himself, on Saturday night, just 1 s a new Sabbath day was being ush- I red in. at a quarter past 12 o'clock, J is soul passed quietly and peaceful- 1 into the great beyond. He was iMided during the watiehes of the light by a son of the editor of The Tern Id and News, Jas. L. Anil and fellow employe of the ollice, Ira ligli. After he became worse some en days ago a negro man was cmloyed to attend him and he too was ! resent. Tho end was as a child ailing on sleep. The neighbors of the community i a.I been kind to him and had eotilantly sent him such delicacies as ] liey thought he would relish and no i lie could have appreciated these at- < notions more. He often spoke to us 1 bout the kindness of the ladies who < ved near his cottage home. Upon his return from the reunion i i Columbia lie had a severe cold and rew gradual!v worse. Some three ! r four weeks ago we told him he 1 ad better not try to work, that lie ould remain out of the ollice an.l ] is pay would be continued though mall and his reply was that he did ( ot see how we could yet along with- I ut his help and as long as he was ( b|e he insisted on comimr to do what ( e could to help the work along. He was faithful and true to the 1 tlice and during the twenty years j e have been in charge lie was always .> "illing to do cheerfully what lie ( ould and to do it without complain- i ig. . He has never for forty years work- ; d in any other ollice and we do not I Itink it ever entered his mind to try I > get work any where else. He was > ot an expert workman and he was ' ot swift, but unless he was sick you i ould always count on him to do the i est he could and what more can I nyone do. He '.as not confined to his bed and < as conscious to the last moment. l>r. .7. A. Meldau was very alien-I' ive to him during bis last days and ave him what relief he could. The Kevs. 0. A. Wright and A. H. 1 lest spent several hours with him on sit unlay. Many years ago he joined he Methodist church. His father, Mr. V. M. Wicker, was an ardent Methodist, and took an active interest in >11 church matters. He died in Noember, 1875. His mother died a jiorl time after, leaving him and one ister, Nannie. She still survives. His body was buried beside his ' nother in Hosemont Sunday afterioon. 1 lie services were conducted it the grave by the Rev Oco. A. I iVright of the Raptist church. Many beautiful flowers were plac'd upon his grave and many friends >aid their last tribute to his memory. He was faithful and true. No higli-J er encomium could be paid any one. Pity is it cannot always be said of those in more pretentious positions in society. We did what we could for him while he lived and in his last sickness to make the burden light. We laid his body beside those of'his lather and mother, with ' Christian burial. We know he appreciated these attentions while he lived and if he could speak would still appreciate them. In the humbler walks of life we frequently find the strongest evidences of true friendship. Pence to his soul. Made Manager. Miss Sue Dean, who has been the efficient telegraph operator al Newberry since Miss Holland left was on Sunday made manager of the Newberry ollice. She is competent and obliging and will continue to fill the position al Newberry. N'either has she gone on strike, though, yesterday there was little doing as in all of the larger olliccs the operators were out on strike. Fine Barbecue. Mr. S. B. Anil on last Friday served a private barbecue for his neighbors and some ten or fifteen invited quests from Newberry at his Jalapa home. It was a plantation barbecue and after his invited guests had been served, the negroes on the plantation were seated at the table 'and served with (his most excellent cue. At one time we noticed about one hundred seated at two tables ranging from the I little pickaninnies to the old grayhaired mamas and they seemed as happy as happy could be and were enjoying the feast to the utmost. Mr. AuII has adopted this custom, and this is not the first barbecue he has served for his friends as well as the laborers from his plantation, and it is a most happy idea. Those who went from Newberry as well as those who were from the neighborhood enjoyed the dinner to I he utmost. The cue was cooked by Mr. \V. ('. Sligh and the meats were most delightful. Mr. A nil has one of the most desirable country homes in the county, and a very fine plantation, and everybody, who was present, wondered why lie should move to town. The 0., N. & L. railroad passes very near his home and the drive from here to Jalapa by dirt road'is only iibout an hour and it does Seem that lie had one of the most convenient locations for a country homd 'of any place in the county. His "plantation and business are in the change of his brother, Mr. John C. Anil, and lid has this year one of the finest crops that we have seen. Rosoluti/ns on the Death of Dr. R. 0. Carlisle. Dr. 1{. C. Carlisle, after one week's illness, died on the twentieth day of August, 190(5, of acute indigestion. He was born in Union County, South Carolina, December, 1835. He grnrluntcd from the Citadel. Charleston, K. ('., in 185o. He graduated in roelieine at the University of New York. In May 1802 he was appointed assistant surgeon in the Confederate States Army, and was assigned to the 7th S. C. regiment, Kershaw's brigade. He continued with his command until 1804, during which time he participated in twenty-seven battles. He surrendered with Johnston's Army at Greensboro, N. C., April 20, 1865."After the war lie served his country as dlieiently and as faithfully as he had lone during it. ITis expensive farming interests ivere a benefit to his county and his Activity in business enterprises was shown in the assistance he gave in >rgaui/,i;>r and directing the banks A'ith which he was connected as well is the cotton mills, of which ho was i large stock holder and director. In the practice of his chosen profession iie was much beloved as a family physician and had as large a practice as was possible for one man to do; and much to bis regret he had In refuse I many calls that were too far from his Held of labor for him to accept. Ilis death leaves a large number of levoted patients, who will find it hard indeed to find one to lake his place. t herefore, be it resolved 1st. That in the death of Doctor R. C. Carlisle inir profession has lost a valued member and the community a most useful i*it i/.en. 2nd. That a page in our minute book be dedicated to his memory, and (hat a copy of these resolutions bo ?ent to his family. The above resolutions were adopted by the Newberry County Medical Society and are published by request of the Society. About 150 whale are captured yearly. Kncli whale averages 2.000 gallons r>f oil. Ignorance itself is a disease the deepest most treacherous and damning malady of the soul. j V I | THE OLEMSON INSTITUTE, i ______ At Newborry Last Saturday?Attendane Good?Many People Interested in the Exhibits. The Clem.sou Institute was held in Newberry tin Saturday and at Prosperity on Friday. Along with the car are Professors Harper, Newman, Doggett and Morrison. They have two ears, which have been fitted up by the Southern railway, in one of which the professors live and slop and in the other they have a "Teat 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 hulics and people generally to go through the car, where they explain again the work that is being done at this institution. At Prosperity there was a very large gathering of fanners, probably 1,500 people being present. A barbecue 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- \ Innately 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 successful and quite a number of far-1 mers was present, who gave very j | close attention to all the lectures. Mr. 1{. T. C. Hunter presided and intro-1 j duccd the speakers. I Prof. Newman talked on the in- , creased production of oroj>s, laying ^ special stress on cotton, by selection ] of seed and varities. He told of the work done at the various experiment j 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 j common 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, better preparation by deep plowing sol, as to give the plant roots a larger' j feeding bed to hold the moisture and ] to let in air and water to break down ] and make available the large quantities of plant food now in all of our soils;- second, by the proper use of commercial fertilizer for the permanent improvement of soil as well as i the next crop grown; third, by the ^ rotation of crop; so as to protect the land from washing in winter by tho ? use of the liguminous plants to pro- . duce nitrogen, and to turn under to put humus or vegetable matter in the j soil. This method of rotation does j not continually drain the land of the ( same elements of plant food as the j same 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 ] crops in the rotation and that this t would prove very profitable. Take ( for example: Cotton seed meal is worth more as a cattle food than it < i 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 more than pays for the 20 per cent taken out by the animal. Prof. Morrison was the last speaker. Ilis subject was industrial education. Tu his talk on industrial education 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 iitted a young man to take charge and direct t]ie great industries, but to actually become a part of them and do the work. That , the world was calling for young men and 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 advantage of tho many opportunities that are offering every day. Prof. Morrison closed his talk with j the remark. That he noticed that New- ^ berry college had recently instituted j n technical course and that he must ( be right or h<* had some mighty good ( company. I The Clemson exhibit car was on ex- j hibition at the union depot and was ^ full of visitors all day looking at the j various exhibits and having them ex- . plained. These exhibits show the j work done by tho students in the various departments of the college and , a great deal of interest was shown by the visitors. < Excursion to Charleston. On Monday, August 10, the C., N. fc L. will operate on excursion to Charleston and Tsle of Palms. The < rate from Newberry for round trip j will be only $5. Tickets on sale next Monday god for return trips to August 24. j 1 . ' , , ; . v v JOLLY JOLLY STREET. A Good Barbecue?Clever People? ] Noted for Thrift and Interest in ] Public Affairs. I I ho jollicst part of Newberry conn- < ty is, sis its name implies, Jolly Street, ] 1'iom the iemote past to the present ] litis section has been the rallying' ] point for political leaders and politi- " cal aspirants. The people have long1 j been noted for their thrift and for < the interest tiiey take in public af- j fairs and most especially for the wel- ] come reception of visitors and a , rollicking' frollicing disposition to | have fun and a general good time < whenever there is a public gathering ] in the community. H was the writer's happy privilege ] to attend the barbecue given by the Richardson brothers on last Thursday at the school house. A large crowd was out?larger perhaps than is usual even for a campaign meeting at this place, several hundred people boing present. The cue was an excellent one; the meats were tendeiv and juicy and having that peculiar flavor that compels you to ask for more even when prudence and conscience both admonish you that you have enough. Good order prevailed throughout the | rtay and everybody seemed happy * and serene. The writer met many of his old : friends?in fact there were none in I 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 nlmost been forgotten?110 cold tipping of the fingers but a good hearty band squeeze. An occasion of this kind is especi- S ally pleasing to an ex-school teacher. Boys and girls who wore knee-pants and short dresses when we taught here two or three years ago came to us in larger garbs and with smiles :?n their faces seemed to take exquisite ( pleasure in our discomfiture in being unable to indentify them as to cail [ hem by name. We could only renark fioodnes how you all have jrown; running up liko cornstalks in diady places, etc." We are sure that when the jolly old *et of Jolly Street passes away that here will be a jolly young set equaly as jolly to take their places. Long live Jolly Street. T. E. W. Children's Day. ] Children's Day will be observed at St. Matthews Lutheran church on Saturday the 31st day of August.

A Card of Thanks. I truly thank all of those for their kindness towards my husband in his long years of suffering; and also thnnk both white and colored for ( their kindness and help in his last few days. I do hope that none will have the sorrow and gloom over their homes as I have. Throe times the famly circle has been broken in a little more than four years; twice in a lit- I :le less than one year. May the Lord iielp me in my troubles and trials. 'Hide me oh, my Saviour hide, 'Till the storm of life is passed, Safe into the havens guide I Oh, receive our souls at last." W. \.
