A RAID ON THE PIKE. a Magistrate Blease Nabs a Bunch of Coons Who Were Seeking to Win Dame Fortune's Smile.s Just bevond the city limits, in the Uei'le-borliood of SpeIil's sh,1). is a nmainity known amio;ng the colored p ople as the "Pike." A citizen of this place is one Calvin Gray, whose abiding-place is reported to be a re sort for that class of negroes who choose to gamble though the cry for more labor grows louder. Almost I any kind of game, it is said, known E to the inferior race, including skin, E three-up, cassino and craps, can he had for the asking. Negroes for 1 miles around have been gathering at this house for some time to enjoy the delights of seeing a "jack" turn up, or to hear the music of a voice shouting, "Come, little Joe," and in cidentally to part with a few pieces of pocket change. But, as the pitch er goes to the spring once too often, so some of these "sports" went to their den one time too niany. Rumors of the doings at Calvin's had come to the ears of Magistrate ,Chnnon G. Blease. Tha 'ears of this wide-awake officer having heard, he began to "have visions" of a crowd of husky fellows helping Monroe s Wicker to improve the condition of the public highways. Patiently the magistrate awaited his opportunity. e It came. E Tuesday w~as too rough a day, with its snow, sleet, cold rains and winds, e for some darkies to work. But it was - an ideal day for a gathering at Cal vin's. a AThings were pleasant there that af ternoon; a goodly number of the a faithful were on hand. Little dream ed they, as they shuffled, cut and dealt, that officers were on their heels. Constable Chappell was out on other business, so Mr. T. L. B. Fpps was pressed into service by the mag itrate. With all the stillness of a funeral march, the two gentlemen got right up to the house where the game was in prgress. Ten gents of leisure, 0 embracing all colors from light tan to dark chocolate, were eagerly wait a ing for the Goddess of Fortune to , come their way. With joy one of the ",number shouted, "I wins," and reach ed to pull in the dough. But calmly - and deliberately Magistrate Blease s remarked, "I guess that's my pot.'' - He book the cards, he took the money, he took the nigger. Tom Epps nab bed one also. Wibh much fear and consternation the remainder took to their heels. But Mr. Blease secured their names. He brought the two captured sports to town and has ar rested most of the others since that day. TIhe hearing will take place in the magistrate's office this morning, 'and the following will appear on the charge of gamlbling:, Calvin Gray, John Graham, Jent Cooper, Eugene Miller, George Miller, Long Goody, Sid Hunter, Will Maybia, Belt Werts, and Ernest Douglas. SThere will be introduced in evi dence against them, a greasy pack of -cards, one dime and three niekels, the 1 money being the proceeds of the pot Swhich the magistrate "raised.'' The "Heir to the Hoorab." One of the things that never fails to ereat:e comment about the Paul Armstrong comedy, "The Heir to the a Hoorah,'' is the ease with which it swings its audiences from laughter to tears and back again. The play 1is full of bright lines aind telling si. uations, and t;here is in it somebhing 'that appeals to the jaded theabregoer, as well as to the gentle matinee mraid Admitted to Partnership. iCharles R. Gilliard, who has been 1 acting as assistant to Dr. I. E. a Crimm, the eye specialist, for some r time, has been admitted to partner e ship by Dr..rimm. Mr. Gaillard is a careful: and ~painstaking you.ng man and thoroughly understands the opti al business. His many friends will be glad to know of his advancement. Y -Spartan]burg Journal. s Mr. C. R. Gaillard is a Newberry boy, the youngest son of Mr.1 and Mrs. J. H. Gaillard of this city. Dr. Crimm has regular appoint ments in Newberry and is known by r our people. o 'qollege Work Resumed. -Newberry college began work again last Tuesday, after the usual holiday vacation. Nearly all the students were on hand the first, day of the sec y ond term; several new students were enrolled. 'The boys all came back in in good health and spirits after spend m ing Christmas with tXe home-folks. The l hurrahs on the campus r- when the sun is setting bring joy to the hearts of the peoiple around Col lege Hill these evenings, for they have ise.d the boys when they were away. AFTER FORRTY-TWO YEARS. Joseph Mann of Newberry is Paid a Visit by His Brother Alex Mann, of Chicago. Mr. Joseph Man;i, who for many years ha.; conducte(d a dry goods and clothing l)usi.ess in Main str;et. was doubtless tihe happiest maii in town vesterday. There' were smiles all over Mr. Mann's face, and his voice had the ring of joy in it. Fonty-two years ago Mr. Joe Mann left his home in Berlin, Germany, coming to make himself a home in America. Later he located in New berry, where he has prospered, and by his conduct has made for himself many friends. In tihe old -German home, Mr. Mann left a brother, young er than himself by four years. . After serving the required time in the Emperor's army, Mr. Alex Mann, too, left the Fatherland and estab lished himself 'n the business of a merchant-tailor in the city of Chica go, where he has also prospered, and has a family consisting of a wife and seven children. For several years now these two brothers have been in correspon dence with each other. But Mr. Joseph Mann had no idea that his brother was on his way to New berry to pay him a visit until yester day morning when a gentleman, abou. fifty-eight years old, walked into his store. Of course, Alex Mann had the advantage of Joseph, for he was expecting to -find him here.-,ven then, however, he was not sure that he had at last looked into his broth er's face. . Mr, Joseph Maan was completely surprised, and it was some minutes before he could realize that the man who stood beside him was th-a little Alex he had left nearly half a century ago in dear old Berlin. When the shoek at the surprise -sach had received was over, the two brothers embraced each other passionately, so rejoiced were they that once again they were brought together. Mr. Alex Mann instends spending several weeks with his brother. . No one, except these two, can im agine the delightful hours they will spend these winter evenings, as they sit about: the pleasant fireside,of Mr. Joseph Mann s delightful home, go. ing over again the days of their child: ~hood and youth. Once more will they live the life of the happy German boys, revelling in the recollectjpns of their father, mother, kindre.d,. and neighbors. And it will be interest ing ,to Mr. Joseph Mann's two~ bright daughters to hear the father and the uncle relate the stories of their.livesi in the land of the Rhine. Town Council Meeting. At a meeting of the town council Wednesday night, Mr. B. 0. Epting was elected superintendent of streets to fill the vacancy caused by the de clination of Capt. W. T. Jackson to accept this position. Mr. Epting ha~ been superintendent for several years, and has been energetic in the dis e1rge of the duities of this arduous In Mayor's 'C1ourt. Dave Gilder, colored, was up be fore Mayor Langford yesterday morn ing for handling intoxicating liquors contrary to the laws of -the town. There were two charges against D)ave, one for transporting, the other for storing. He entered a plea of guilty to each charge, and the mayor im posed a fine of fifty dollars, or sixty days labor on the edhaingang. To Have Gymnasium.L A number of young men of tihe city have started a movement for the or: ganization of a gymnasium: associa tion. Mr. H. T. Renwick is $he mov ing spirit in this good work. It proposed to estelblish a first-class place of this kind, with equipmenl that will 'give the young men here who are confined 'in the offices and stores an opportunity to der.eloI: themselves physically. A gymnfasium is a great need for Newberry, an~ -every young man in the Lown shoul become a mnember. -Those who woult like to join this association . houlc call upon Mr. Renwick., Quarterly Conference. The first quarterly conference o: roperity einecuit will be held ai Zion ehurch Saturday and .Sunday 18th and 19th, instead of 11th an< H. W. Whitaker. White Man Shoots Negro. Mr. Jos. J.

The Friends of Miss Burton Give Her a Happy Surprise at Her Ele gant New Home. Amn the !many new houses built i;i Newer ry wvit iin the past year there i- nsnz mtre attractive than that of Miss _Mary Burton. This new home is situated on the corner of Harrington and Crenshaw streets, and is a two-story, grey stucco cot tage. One is at once attracted to it by its broad. protected veranda and general homelike appearance; but its chief charm is its most convenien: and tasty interior. Entering the front docr o:1e is ushered into a small vestibule whdch is separated by por tiers from the spacious reception hail, with its hospita'ble,cee:y grate and wide, cosy window-$eat. From this hall, through wide sliding doors, one enters into the parlor; thence into the dining-doom. Both these rooms are most attractive. as are the three bedrooms up stairs, with their large sunny windows and all 'modern con veniences. This home was completed last week and some of Miss Burton's many friends, knowing that she was about ready to begin housekeeping, ,decid ed to give her a surprise party. Quite a number of them met at one of the neighboirs and at the appointed hour started out for their destination. When they came in sight of the house, other friends, by appointment, were coming from a:11 directions, the com mon purpose being to meet at the corner and form a formidable com pany to take the hostess by storm. As it was raining and there was no little mud, with true house-'wifely fore thought, and as each member of the company was laden with a kitchen utensil or some housekeeping help, the company thought best to .direet their muddy steps to the kitchen, in stead of the parlor. So, with as much noise as fifteen or twenty wo men and one brave little lad could make, the .company stamped up the !back steps. Onz of the friends had been sent on a half hour before to keep the hostess at home; so we had no fear that we would have to leave our cards and return disappointe3. Hearing such a stamping on her prem ises, our hostess at one appeared and the surprise party was on. The eompany at once took posses sion of the kitchen, and all tlie mys terious parcels were unwrapped, each of them containing rsome most indis pensable housekeeping article, accom panied by many, expressions of' love and good wishes for the recipient.
