A RAID ON THE PIKE.
Magistrate Bloaso Nabs a Bunch of
Coons Wiho Woro Seeking to
Win Daino Fortune's Smile.s
Jnsi beyond the city limits, in tin;
neiynborhood of SpeliI's shop, is a
I v'<Miuiiiiiii(y known among the colored
people as (lie "Hike." A cit.i/.en of
this place is one Calvin Gray, whose
abiding-place is reported to be* a resort
for that class of negroes who
choose to gamble though the cry for
more labor grows louder. Almost
any kind of game, it is said, known
to the inferior race, including skin,
thive-up. eassino and craps, can lie
liAid for 1 lie asking. Negroes for
miles around have been gathering at
Hi is 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 incidentally
to part with a few pieces
of pocket elmnge. Hut', as the pitcher
goes Id the spring once too often,
so some id' these "sports" went to
their den one time too many.
Rumors of Ihe doings at Calvin's
had come to the ears of Magistrate
K'iinnon (J. Hlease. The ears ()f this
wide-awake ollicer having heard, he
began to "have visions" of a crowd
of husky fellows helping Monroe
Wicker to improve the condition of
Die public highways. Patiently the
magistrate awaited his opportunity.
It came.
Tuesday was loo rough a .lay, with
it-; snow, sleet, cold rains and winds,
for some darkies to work. Rut it was
an ideal day for a gathering at Calvin
's.
Things were pleasant I her.? thai afternoon;
a goodly number of the
faithful were <>i hand. I/it lie dreamed
they, as I hey shuffled, cut and
dealt, that oflicers were on their
heels. Constable Chappell was out on
other business, so Mr. T. L. H. Kpps
wa-> pressed into service by the inag' ti
>!e. Willi all the stillness of a
funeral march, the two gentlemen go*
riyht up to the house where the game
was in progress. Ten gents of leisure,
embracing all colors from liyht tan
to dark chocolate, were eagerly wailing
l"r the Goddess of Fortune to
come their way. With joy one of the
num'M'r shouted. "I wins." and reached
to pull iu Ihe dough. Hut calmly
and deliberately Magistrate Hlease
remarked, "I guess that's mv pot."
ITe took the cards, he took the money,
he took the nigger. Tom Kpps nabbed
one also. With much fear and
coii^ternnlion the remainder took to
their heels. Hut Mr. Hlease secured
their names. ITe brought' the two
captured sports to town and has arrested
most of the others since that
day. The hearing will lake place in
the magistrate's Hlioo this morning,
and the following will appear on the
charge of gambling: Calvin Cray,
John Graham, .lent Cooper, Kuyeive
Mill er, Geo rye Mil for. Long flood v.
Sid Hunter. Will Maybin, Hell Worts,
and I'irnest Douglas.
Th ere will be introduced in evidence
against them, a greasy pack of
cards, one dime and three nickels, the
money being ihe proceeds of the pot
which the magistrate "raised."
The "Heir to the Hoorah."
One of the things that never fails
to create comment about the Haul
Armstrong comedy, "The Heir to thj
Hoorah," is Ihe ease with which it
swings its audiences from laughter
to tears and back again. The play
is full of bright lines aind telling situations,
and there is in it something
that appeals to the jaded theatregoer,
us well as to the gentle matinee maiden.
Admitted to Partnership.
Charles H. Oilliard, who has been
acting as assistant to Dr. I. 10.
Crimm, the eye specialist, for some
time, has been admitted to partnership
by Dr. Crimm. Mr. Gaillard is a
careful and painstaking young man
and thoroughly understands (lie optical
business. His many friends will
be glad to know of his advancement.
?-Spartanburg Journal.
Mr. C. K. Gaillard is a Newberry
boy, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.
d. 11. Gaillard of this city.
Dr. Crimm lias regular appointments
in New'berrv and is known by
our people.
College 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 second
term; several new students were
enrolled. The boys all came back in
good health and spirits after spending
Christmas with the home-folks.
The loud hurrahs on the campus
when the sun is sotting bring joy to
the hearts of the people around College
llill these evenings, for they have
missed the boys when they woro away.

AFTER FORRTY-TWO YEARS.
Josoph Mann of Newberry is Paid, a /
Visit by His Brother Alex Mann,
of Oliicago.
Mr. Joseph Mann, who for many
! >ears lias couductcd a dry goods and d
clothing business in Main street, was <>
doubtless I lie happiest man in town i:
yesterday. There were smiles all over <>
Mr. Mann's face, and 'his voice had ! ,\
t?he ring of joy in it. <
]' onty-two years ago ATr. Joe Mann (
lett iiis home in Berlin, Germany, f
coming' to make himself* a home; in
America, hater he located in Newberry,
where lie lias prospered, and ^
by his conduct has made for himself |
many I riends. In Hie old German ,
home, Mr. Mann left a brother, young- i
er than himself by four years. . j
After serving the required time in |?
the lOniperor's army, Mr. Alex Mann,
too, left the Fatherland and estab
lis'hed himself 'ji the business of a
mei'cliant-tailor in the city of Chicago,
where he has also prospered, and
lias a family consisting of a wife and
seven children.
I'<>r several years now these two
brothers have been in correspon- .
donee wit'h each other. But Mr. (
Joseph Maim bad no idea that
his brother was on his way to New- i
berry to pay him a visit until yesterday
morning when a gentleman, abou;
fifty-oighl years old, walked into ''
his store. Of course, Alex Mannjn
had the advantage of Joseph, for lie |
was expecting to lind him here. Kven j
then, however, he was not sure thai I
lie had at last looked into his broth-Ia
er's face. Mr. Joseph Maan was I ()
completely surprised, and it was some \ ]
minutes before ho could realize that S|
I lie man who stood beside him was th\j |
lit lie A Ion lie had left nearly half a
century ago in dear old Berlin. When
Hie shock at the surprise \2a0h had
received was over, the two brothers ^
embraced each other passionately, so |
rejoiced were they that once again ,
thov were brouuht together. I
l.i
Mr. Alex Mann instends spending I
several weeks with 'his brother. |
N'o one, except these two, can im- ?
agine the delightful hours they will j 11
spend these winter evenings, as they 10
sit about the pleasant fireside of Mr. 111
Joseph Mann's delightful home, go- 111
ing over again the days of their child- .
hood and youth. Once more will they 1(.'
live the life of the happy German 'l
boys, revelling in the recollections of C(
their father, mother, kindred, and
neighbors. And it will be interesting
to Mr. Joseph Mann's two bright
daughters to hear the father and the (i
uncle relate the stories of their lives
in the land of the Rhine.
ol
Town Council Meeting. a|
At a meeting of the town council (-|
Wednesday night, Mr. B. O. Kpting ,n
was elected superintendent of streets UJ
to till tlu* vacancy caused by the de- j?
clination of ('apt. \V. T. Jackson to
accept this position. Mr. Kpting has
been superintendent for several years,
and has been energetic in the discharge
of the duties of this arduous
olTice.
In Mayor's Cjourt.
Dave Gilder, colored, was up bcI
fore Mayor Langford yesterday morning
for handling intoxicating liquors
contrary to the laws of the town.
There were two charges against. Dave,
one for transporting, the other for
storing. He entered a plea of guilty
to each charge, and the mayor imposed
a tine of fifty dollars, or sixty
days labor on the dvaingang.
To Have Gymnasium.
'A number of young men of the city
have started a movement for the organization
of a gymnasium association.
Mr. II. T. Renwiek is $he moving
spirit in this good work. Tt s
proposed to establish a first-class
place of this kiind, with equipment
that will give the young men here
who are confined in the offices and
stores an opportunity to develop
themselves physically. A gymnasium
is a great need for Newberry, and
every young man in the town should
become a member. Those who would
like to join this association should
call upon Mr. Renwiek.
Quarterly Conference.
The first quarterly conference of
l^roapcrrity circuit will be held at
Zion church Saturday and Sunday,
18th and 19th, instead of 11th and
12th.

White Man Shoots Negro.
Mr. Jos. J. Padget, who lives near
Blease's cross roads, in Saluda county,
shot, and seriously wounded Hilry
Triplin, colored, a few days ago, the
difficulty, it is said, growing out of
' the negro interfering with Mr. Padget
's tenants. Mr. Padget surrendered
to Sheriff Sample of Saluda,
and has been released on bail, it being?
thought that the negro would not die )
because of his wounds. I

AN IMPROMPTU RECEPTION.
d Tho Friends of Miss Burton Give Her
a Happy Surprise at Her Elegant
New Home.
s- Among liie many new houses built
;o Newberry within I he past year
). there is none mure attractive than
;o that of Miss Mary Burton. This new
i- home is situated on (lie corner of
10 Harrington and Crenshaw streets,
10 and is a two-story, grey stucco colli
tage. One is at onee attracted to it
by it's broad, protected veranda and
(| general homelike appearance; but its
j. chief charm is its most convenient
,1' and tasty interior. Kntering the
front doer one is ushered into a small
^ vestibule which is separated by porx_
tiers from the spacious reception hall,
with its hospitable,cheery grate and
wide, cosy window-^eat. From this
hall, through wide sliding doors, one
jj enters into the parlor; thence into
jg the dining'-doom. Both these rooms
are most attractive, as are the three
}_ bedrooms up stairs, with their large
n sunny windows and all modern convenioncos.
t This home was completed last week
and some of Miss Burton's many
friends, knowing that she was about
^ ready to begin housekeeping, decidp
ed to give her a surprise party. Quite
a number of them met at one of the
neighbors ami the appointed hour
started out for their destination.
When I hey came in sight of the house,
other friends, by appointment, were
coming from all directions, the com>
nmn purpose being to meet at the
corner and form a formidable comi
pany to lake the hostess by storm. As
a it was raining and there was no little
>- mud, with true housejwifely forethought.
and as each member of tiie
0 company was laden with a kitchen
._ utensil or some housekeeping help,
r the company thought best to direct
_ their muddy steps to the kitchen, instead
o'f the parlor. So, with as
much noise as fifteen or twenty wot
n.on and one brave little lad could
make, the company stamped up the
'back steps. One of the friends had
n been sent on a half hour before to
s keep the hostess at home; so we had
s no fear that we would have to leave
^ our cards and return disappointed.
Heaving such a stamping on her premises,
our hostess at once appeared
v and the surprise party was on.
The company at once took possession
of the kitchen, and all th'o mysterious
parcels were unwrapped, each
of them containing some most indisy
pensable housekeeping article, accom0
paniod by many, expressions of love
3 and good wishes for the recipient.
