JOHN WESLEY WICKER.
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.

| 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

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.

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,

Safe into the havens guide I
Oh, receive our souls at last."
