On^ of the most brilliant society
/oilts of the holiday season will be
ic marriage I mm or row evening, Janiry
1. at the home of Mr. .Tames
anee MdC-aughrin, in Main street',
his sister, Miss Nannie Andrew
jdCaughrin, and Dr. James Clarence
arper, of Greenwood. Miss Mcaui'brin
is one of Newberry's sooty
favorites, and is well known
i rough out- Soivtli Carolina. Dr. Har;r,
whV) is a graduate of Wofford
dlege and of the University of
aryland, is one of the leading mediil
practitioners of Greenwood.
In anticipation of her marriage,
iss McCauglirin has been t;he reipient
of much social attention durg
the past two weelos. A "miscelneous
shower" was given by Mrs.
Walter II. Hunt, and on the followg
day a reception was given by
rs. T. C. Pool. Mrs. O. Melt. Holes
entcMained in honor of Miss Mcaughrin
at a "kitchen sQiower,"
ul Mesdamos John M. Kinard and
Y. McFall entertained in her lion
at a "china shower." On Frily
at noon she was entertained at

Watormelon at Christmas.
It is probable that few peoplo have
seen a watermelon in Nowberry
i Christmas day. Mr. Walter S.
pcarman on Christmas day showed
he Herald and News a forty-pound
elon perfectly preserved. The melii
was raised by 'his sister, Mrs. E.
'. Longshore, at her home at Silver
treet. Mrs. Longshore has since
loved to Newberry aiul brought the
lelon with her. The melon grew in
[rs. longshore'? garden. It was a
ne melon and she conceived the idea
P varnishing it to preserve it. She
vouglvt probably if it were varni.?4h1
so that' no air could get to it, that
i this way it might probably be
opt. In accordance with her idea,
>e melon was varnished for her by
[r. Kufus M. Werts, and Mr?,
longshore's theory proved correct,
fr. Spearman and Mr. Wents oxliiiitod
the melon on Christmas day
nd it appeared not lo liavo lost' a

105 YEARS OLD. 1
Old Negro On the Kinard Plantation i
who Has Been a Ditcher All
His Life. ?
<
In Ne wherry on Christ mas day was <
a negro, NI'd Kinard, who, according,!
;iu a u then tie records, will he 105 years',
old in January, 1908. lie had walked j I
fourteen miles to Nowiberry frum his !
home on Mr. II. II. Kinard's plantation,
in the upper part of t'he county, <
and he walked hack after spending 1
Cli l ist mas day here.
Ned was bonn in Africa, and was <
hrou.u1:'; :o this coun'try by a slave (
dealer, from whom he was purchased <
by Mr. Kinard V father, General H. 1
IT. Kinard. lie was* owned by Gen. I
Kinard until slavery was abolished at '
the close of the war. W'lien the sue- 1
cess of Northern aims made him frej 1
lie remained on Gen. Kinard's plantation,
where lie has lived continuously
since, and where lie will in all
probability he buried. 1
Ned .is a ditcher. Digging dite'iies 1
has been his iife work, and is all he 1
knows. (
In tiie days before the War Be- t
I ween the St'ates many of the bottom ]
lands in 11ii<s county winch are now 1
grown up in, willows and swamp 1
arrowth were fertile corn fields. They
were made so by the excellent sys- '
tem of irrigation whicih some of the (
old planters, whose plantations were [ '
their pride, had in use. Great ditches 1
were dug-and the lands were drained; <
mid in these creel bottoms the finest (
corn was made. Many farmers in (
this sent ion still keep kinds, which 1
otherwise would he of no use except 1
to hold the world together, in cultivation
by this system, but there are
thousands of acres of swampy lands
in t'he >outh. wherein formerly crops (
were grown, which have been re- 5
[*Iaimed by the willows. ]
Gen. Kinard was one of the wealth- iest
and most successful planters in
Newberry comity in ante-bellum days.
His plantation was situated in the
upper part of the county, part of it 1
extending over the line into Laurens {
founty. Kverv acre of his land which .
eould be put into cultivation yielded
it's crop. The bottom lands were ^
[trained, and it was on these lan ts
Hint f'pn. Kinard's heaviest and finfst
crops of corn were grown.
When Gen. Kinard bought Ned. after
his arrival in America from his (
(Vfriean home, he assigned him to the
kVork of digging ditches. One had only
to look at Ned's build to know
hat his calling was that* of a ditcher.
Today, in his 105th year, he reminds
>ne very much of a square brick pilar
built to support a heavy structure.
[Te is almost! as broad as he is tall.
Fie appears now to be very lit Me, if 0
my, over five feet in height, but his
es's and aims are those of a giant
When South Carolina seceded from
he Union, and five War Between the
States was on. Ned was taken from j j
lis work of digging ditches on Gen.
vinard's plantation, and went with
"Jeu. Kinard to Charleston, where
'4en. Kinard put him on the work ol
issist'inir in building the forti'ficaions
there. Of course, Ned's duty
vas to throw up dirt. Considerable
ivalrv developed among the negroes ,.
m the fortifications as to which
>ould throw the most dirt, and g
t is still t'he pride of Nod's life that
ie was adjudged the champion dirt
tli/rojver. Ned says whenever the
{ucstion was asked they all siaid Ned
Citiard, General Kinard's negro from
tfowiberry, "kin t'row do mos.' "
Ned still does whatever ditching
here is to do around the plantation,
md in addition he makes about on<e
>ale of cotton a year. He will not
.oucli a plow. He prepares his land ?
i-.id cultivates his cotton altogether
vith a hoe. ITe seems to regard plows
is something unholy. In fact, while
sTed has lived in America during the
ife t'ime o<f nnore than t'wo generaions,
lie li'as not yet been completsy
civilized. While he has led a
ieaceable life, lie still retains many
y.f the elements of his original savage
rfuture, and his broken English is yet j
inrd to understand.
Ned has been married >a number of
inics, his last marriage occurring 011y
a few years ago. On that' occasion
STed thought he had won a prize in
the lottery of life, and before tilie C
narriagc iiis mind wins considerably
troubled as to the make of his we.tUng
clothes. He walked to Newberry
and told his troubles to Mr. Kin- ,j
urd. Mr. Kiwird told him that he
[thought the appropriate dress for a j
rlifcher would be a .pair of overalls,
iind Ned eagerly consented for his
"old masser" to make the purchase
f. r him. Mr. Kinard presented h*m,
with his compliments, a suit of the
gaudiest ovenalls he. could find, and
n high white beaver. Tn this wedling
suit, and with a white preacher C
lo perform the ceremony, because
Ned, who must lvave been of royal
blood in Africa, would not be mar- j
ricd hy a negro, he was joined to
lis last wife for bot>10i' or for wors 3.
tlis lost wi'fe Is now d6ad, and Ned )'(
is again a widower. H
Ned lives ia n ealjiir by himself, //
md is I'ttppy. The abolition of slav- J
Jry in no wise changed the manner m
jf his living, l^or the Kinard fataiily |
lis heart holds the same loyalty, and 1
from tr. '.Mi he receives the same at- r
!e:ilion, as in the days of flic Old g j
South. ^ L, '
Ned's a^e was recorded in thrt
)ld Kinard family Bible, which was, jfl
turned i-n the tire which destroyed#'. ' m^k
Mr. Kinard's residence on March 29,\
>f this year. This date was nut-hen-';.
tie, and would make Ned 105 years* ?
dd tliis coming moiith. Aside* from' t^Hj
Hho dale, however, mambers of the
Pair.iiy by tracing the family record
mek to the date when/Ned was pur[ based,
can approximate his age, and
t would iMwjjear that this is correct.
