J Wilson Has Experience With W Pet Pice Belonging to Bis Little Daughter Thelma. Mr. Ihos. J. Wilson, of the Bachnian Chapel section of the si county, has had a trying experience fr during the past several days with in ar dog which it is feared was mad. tli A pet fice belonging to Thelma, fc Mr. Wilson's little daughter, about ten years of age, went off to the w field on last Saturday morning, and tli was not seen any more until Sun- el day afternoon. The dog came in tli [Sunday afternoon panting and w seeming to be worried. The little L girl offered it meat and bread, but cc the dog refused to eat. Thelma played with the dog, however, and |,. it licked her in the face and in s:'( the mouth. . . cr At supper time 011 Sunday even- fi\ ing the dog was in Mr. Wilson's w; dining room, and during the meal w it attacked a cat, and in the fight ha the cat was bitten. Mr. Wilson cr thought then that something was re wrong, and in view of the many V;i mad clogs which have been report- tli ed in Newberry county during the past several weeks, he began to jn fear that possibly the dog was mad. Q' I Ie confined the dog in a stall in his ^ lot. Before daylight on Mondav cr morning the dog escaped and U] went over to Mrs. Jennie Epps', a y| neighbor of Mr. Wilson. At about sj| 4 o'clock on Monday morning Mr. j|1 \\ ilson received a telephone mes- ,U1 sage from Mrs. Epps' rcsience ' that the dog was there and that it j10 had bitten a pig in the yard. Mr. Wilson was then satisfied that it was mad, and lie immediately notified as many of his neighbors as , lie could reach. Metween 9 and io o'clock Monday morning the dog ^ came home and killed a couple of 0 small chickens in Mr. Wilson's an yard and bit a hen. Later the clog SO was killed near Mr. Wilson's honu bv Messrs. George 1. Kinard and ne R. N. Taylor. On Sunday afternoon the dog jt licked Mr. Wilson's hand. Mr. Wilson had a little sore on his hand. ou where the skin was broken, but lie Qf is in hopes that the clog did not ot| touch that particular spot on his tn hand. or Neither Mr. Wilson nor the phy- ^ sicians whom he lias consulted think that he or his little girl is in f any danger, but he has taken all . . precautions, and will act upon the 'f. advice of his physicians. He has !" not only killed tiie cat which, was 50 bitten, but all the other cats on his place. And not only has Mr. Wilson cin. taken precautions, but he has put ai his neighbors in possession of all the facts so that they also may take p.C all necessary precautions. ,1 Mr. Wilson's manv friends 110 throughut Newberry county sincerely [lope that neither he nor his A1 tittle daughter have been placed in dancer. }V1 inj Central Methodist Church. ^,c (Rev.

Everyhere the cement has been laid "it ts given satisfaction, and the propty holders who have secured it alize that it lias enhanced the ilue of their property many times e cost to them. Some of the property holders in >hnslonc street running west from ilhoun arc desirous of securing e cement pavement but the propty holders affected have not yet lanimously agreed to the plan, lie property holders who arc de oits of securing the benetfis of e cement walks are exceedingly ixions tjiat the plan should ' be ;reed to by the other property lders affected.

Cromer this weekdelivered the annual address on the occasion of the commencement ex-1 ercises of the Mnrchison school, at Uennettsville. The Uennettsville! correspondent of the Columbia State says of Dr. Cromer's ad-! dress: lhe lion. J. L. MeLaurin then! introduced as the annual orator j Dr. (ieorge P>. Cromer. There has never been heard here a more earnest or more liked commencement address. Dr. Cromer is a very pleasing speaker and when listening to hint one is surprised at the passage of time for the charm of j the speaker's voice and the elYee- j live and easy delivey of the subject ! is that of a master. Dr. Cromer j took as his subject the "Ideal of! Power Which lias Taken j I 1 "'Id on Our People To-1 d-v." This, he said, might be di-j v: "ed into thtve heads, the pocket j power, the head power and the re-1 liigous power or the heart power. I Dr. Cromer went 011 to show the great desire for money, which people today have because money is power. Then education gives head power and education means money. Then education gives head power, develops the intellect. He said that in our schools today were being moulded the future leaders and the destiny of the land was being shaped there also, fie warned against getting the love of money without the third essential, the power of the heart. Tie referred to Greece with its g>ca: intellect, to Rome with its great wealth and how both of these passed because there was no religion. Then arose the ideal incarnated in human form passing up and down the ways ot Palestine. The religion of tlie lowly Nazarene swept the Roman empire and ascended the throne of Caesars and is today sweeping the whole world. This, said Dr. Cromer, should be taught, as it is, in our 1 schools and colleges and should stand out and above everything else. Hoge School (Colored.)

Farmers' Institute for Newberry. It is probable that arrangementconk! be made to have a farmers institute i.. Newberry during the; roiling summer undo'* the auspices "I the authorities at Clenison ce>ilegf\ We understand that the policy oi the college for the present will be not to hold a general farmers' institute at Clenison but to have in stitutcs in different sections of the State having a day or two at whicli several counties may meet. It is entirely probable that one of these institutes could be sccuree for Newberry and if the president of the chamber of commerce or the secretary would get in communication with the director of the experiment station at Clenison, Prof J. N. Harper, one of these institutes might be held here. As we understand it the purpose of the director of the experiment station in' holding these institutes will be to secure the most eminent and best equipped men in the var ions departments to give lecture? to farmers. By holding these in stitutcs in different sections of the State more people will be enablee to take advantage of the information to be obtained at them thai could possibly be given with the general institute for the State ai Clenison. While these State institutes have been as a rule well attended a great many more people could be rcachce bv scattering them over the State for it is not always convenient foi a great many of our farmers to at ten'd the institutes at Clenison, not only on account of the expense but nn account of being unable to leave liomc.
