Report of Committee on Old Cour House-Wagon Yards-As to Sewerage.

Aull, and Dr. C. T. Wvche beinL present. After taking up and dis cussing what was the best to be dont in reference to the. old' eotrt house it was agreed that the best and onl. thing to do was to have a propositior ready to submit to the democratic convention which will be held some time in May. As.the old edurt housE is' the property of the people of the city and. county of Newberry,' the opinion. is that the only way it coull be disposed..of for other purposes, would be to .submit to.the d'emocratic convention and let the convention submit it to the democratie voters of NevWbtrry county at the next primary election in August. We would rec ommend that the chamber of com merce appoint a committee of three or five to prepare a report to be sub mitted to the democratic convention in May, outlining the purpose for which the old court house could be best used. We wou'ld suggest that the committee 'be instructed to con fer with the mayor and Aldermen of the town of Newberry, and. also with the supervisor and county commis sioners and the representatives from the county of Newberry. The matter of a wagont yard was discussed, and a report was submit ted by Prof. W. K. Sligh, who stat ed that the -committee was unable to find a place of suitable size and rec ommended several small yards in va rious places. Dr. J. M. Kibler. chairm>an of the sewerage committee asked for a post ponement of his report until more definite details as to cost could be obtained. - Elks Club. Mr. C. P.

Adams on Fri day last showed that not only would he take -eme chances in his e.Torts to ral"ture people who were t:yiag t+ run away. but that he would als at.!empt to prevent horses and mules from eidangerin' lives and property by running away. Mr. Ad.ams was standing near Gilder & Weeks' store when he eyed a run-1 away team coming toward him from the direction of The Herald and News office. There were three mules and a horse hitehed to a heavy wa gon. and the team was in a fast gait. and one likely to do much diamage to vehicles and people. The policeman went in to the 1 street and grabbed hold of the sad die mule as he came by him. The horse and mules kept going, however, pullinw the officer along with them. Mr. Adams held on and finally stop ped them near the court house. TheJ o~iy damagie done was breaking down of a wheel of another wagon. The streets were crowded though .and had not the policeman- hel'd on to the team some person mighit have been injured.-. Railroad Schedules.

Pomaria. January 20.-Dr. and \lirs. W. .J. l;reakc.'. (?f St. Louis. vi'ait c: Irs. hreake- s sisiers. Mrs. Jno. C. Aull and lr s. Jah. P. Setzler this . Our young peop:le enjoyed a very pleasant social on last Friday evening at. the home of Mr. and _Mrs. R. H. Hipp. Among those present from a distance wre Miss Willis of Spar tainl.ur . 3ise Ruth and Massie Williams of Newberry, and Miss Lil liaa Jo::s, of Jones. Mr. M. Havne Folk has moved to the pl<ce about three miles north of Newber:r which he recently bought, and upon which he has erected a resi derce. Mr. Folk is a good farmer and an active and public-spirited cit izen, and his removal is a loss to the community. Everyone regretted to see him and his family leave. His farm has been rented by Mr. Edward Shealy who will make his home there for a number of years. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jak.e F. Koon was bereaved yesterday af ternoon by the death of their little - son E. C.. aged about two years. He had been very ill fdr some time, and for the last few days little hope had been entertained for his recovery. He is to be buried today at 2 o'clock, at Chapins. The family have the sin cere sympaithy of the community in their bereavement. Pomaria will probably have a drug store soon. Dr. Z. F. Pinner intends I to open one at an early date in a building which is being erected on a lot ow:ied by the Setzler Company. It will supply a much felt need of 7 the community. Mrs. Sallie Harris, mother of our acco nmodatin,g raijlway' agent, Mr. Horace Harr. has moved to Po maria. What came very near being a fatal ase of burning occurred on the Dav id Sufber place about two miles and a half north of Pomaria on last Mon- I day night. The daughter of Mac Dawkins, colored, was carrying a small brass lamp-one of the kind that burns without a chimney-whe-i I her outing dress caught fire from it, ma before the !fire could be exten ruished she was so seriously burned hat she is still in bed from its ef ets. Her fath'er burned his own ands severely in extingdishing the lames. There was almost another homicide. .mong the colored people of this corn- C ~nunity on last Tuesday. The wife of Januel S'etzler hit Will Suber in th-3 ead with a roek, and hre was un ~onsious from the blow for about I 5 minutes. The physician states :hlat if the blow had been only a little iarder it would have proved fatal. 3oth parties to th'e affray are color d, and claim that the rock was bhrown in play. The many friends of Mrs. J. - B. Iraham, who is in the hospital in'\Co mbia, will be gliad to learn that she ,! .s getting on nicely and doing as yell as could be expected. The people of this community are -e'ry much interested in the discus- v ;ion of the lien law. It seems to 'be he general impression that the law nil be repealed, but that the repeal i not become effective before next ear. Some express the opinion, that nith the repeal of the lien law should e coupled the repeal of the homne Lead exemption law. fot Ambitiqus to Be a "Wall Pai per. .
