WHY PAY A LARGE WATER BIL when Jones will stop the leak. % FIRST BAPTIST OHUROH. Handsome Now Building Opened? First Sermon Preached by Dr. W. T. Hundley. To a congregation which completely. filled the church, it being impossible to provide scats for all even i when the aisles had been filled with chairs, the He v. W. T. Hundley, of Hatesburg, Sunday morning preached I he first sermon in the handsome new church edifice rei-ently completed by I he congregation of the First Baptist church at a cost of $15,000. The church building is of brick, and of llie (2reek style of architecture, and is one of the handsomest in this section of South Carolina. I he pastor, the Wev. George A. Wright, in a few well chosen words addressed the congregation before the sermon. Mr. Wright said that he was glad lo be here on this occasion. He said that he rejoiced that during all the years since his ministry began in Newberry lie bail been privileged to associate with these people, and no heart was on this occasion rejoiced more flian his. ITe was glad lie was their pastor and. he was glad to be wilh (iiem on this glad day. "I know how you feel, for T know how I feel," he said. And not only because he was privileged to come into the new church was he glad, lie said, but he was glad because he had with him one man to whom he owed as much, ' ll"1 more than to any other one man. Mr. Hundley, he said, was for eleven years his pastor, and if was in Mr. Hundley's church llial he wn ordained deacon, and it was Mr. 111111 d I e \ wlitt had ordained liim to (lie ministry Wednesday night before he came to Newberry to preach 11>; first sermon <>n February .S, I SOI. Mr. Hundley said that lie did not I eel a stranger in Newberry, and yet in the sea of upturned facs before liim lie saw but few cotinlcmtnccs that he recognized.

Mi. 11 i;ndle\ chose as hi*' ! . >:( the ! sixth verse of the fllitli Psalm, i "Strength and beauty are in llisi I sanctuary,' and Matt. 21:1.5: "My house shall be called I he house of i , prayer." Mr. Hundley divided his . seiMit n into two parts, delivering onlv j Ibe tir^t part at the morning service, and reserving the second part for the | evening services. At the morning ser( vice he devoted his attention to the thought contained in bis texr from ' Matthew: "My house shall be called t iic tiouse of praver.'' Man, he said, was differentiated from the lower animals, not so much by reason?the power to think?as by j moral percept, the power to distinguish between right and wrong. This I ' moral perception found its climax in ! the recognition of deity. In every I human breast there was an intuition ! ^ of deity, he said, lie traced the ovo-j lution o| the worshipful idea in man. | Man in his primitive stale had as the! s tirst element in liis worship id' deity, i I ear. There was another element in | the worship of the dew?there was j tear, but there was an element of re- j veren.e attached to (hat fear. In I Christianity the climax of the woru "dnpI ul idea was reached?there was I- tear and reverence, but there was that >f higher and more ennobling idea in the e worship ot the Christian?the element e of love. Christ unfolded God not oniy as a (Sod lo be 'reared and to f?e j reverenced, but also as a God of love, k Worship must have some way in v which to express itself, he said. The tirst way in which worship expressed s itself was through prayer?the simo, plest form of worship. It was the llrsf worshipful act of the human soul. The second form in which worship 0 expressed itself was in sacrifice. He t>. spoke of the sacrifices in the days bei fore the coining of Christ. Such sacrifices were nc^t now needed, because ' < hrist had offered himself once for j ill, but the sacrifice that was needed now was the broken heart of a conI trite spirit. The (bird way in which L | worship expressed itself was in song; ' I he next way, through the preaching HOMING PIGEONS. Fourteen Released In Newberry Sat- ] urday by Oapt. Langford?From Lancaster, Pa. ( apt. W. S. Langford received last week a box of fourteen homing pig- l eons. They we/e received from Mr. I llios. Humpherville, of Lancaster, i Bonn., who represent a club in that I **it.V which deals in pigeons of this | kind. , Newberry has been selected as the t place to liberate them as it is five t hundred miles on the air lino, from * Lancaster. ( apt. Laugl'ord had been i requested to act as olTleial liberator 1 and had consented to do so. I hey were liberated on Saturday 1 morning at 4.10 o'clock, lie selected i the high place in the rear of his resi- I donee in west Boundary street. As I the birds were released they circled upward and two of them started in a northwesterly direction, two south- ; easterly and nine went northeasterly. One of them was not well and flew < over to a house near by. It is expect- : od that they will make the trip home in one day. < apt. Landlord will receive report in a Jew days as !o the lesull of the ' trip of |ho birds, lie wired Ponnsvlvauia during the day notifying Mr. 11ninphreville the exact time at which the birds were liberate*! and gave the < direction in which they stalled. : PICNIC AT JOLLY STREET. | I Large Crowd Present and Excellent < Dinner Served by the Good Ladies. I lie Jolly Street school, taught the I past year by Miss Sallie Kibler. had i picnic al .lolly S|vc?t on last Satur- * day. School had been closed for some I into and there were no exercises < by | lie children. There was a large i crowd present and a most excellent ' dinner was served and everybody on- i .joyed I lie day. Speeches on education were made by Superintendent of Kduoation ,1. S. Wheeler. Prof. J. B. I ones. ( Wind Storm in Newberry. i There was a considerable wind 1 storm in Newberry on Saturday oven- I ing between eight and nine o'clock. '> Considerable damage was done to the ' electric light poles in Calhoun street and in Johnstone street and for a ' time it looked as though there was 1 going to bo much damage done. Sov- 1 oral trees were blown down and the wires were felled in the streets. I Poor Hack Horse Newberry, S. (June 22. 08. Editor Herald and News: Allow mo space in the columns of your valuable paper to call the attention of some member of the S. P. O. A. to the unmerciful and cruel manner, which the poor hack horses are driven over the streets of Newberry those hot Juno days. It is only necessary to watch them any day, and I am sure any one's sympathy, would be aroused, a spotter or an offcor would soon land some of them behind the bars, for violating a State law, cruelty to animals. A Citizen. ol truth; and. lastlv. worship found expression through the sanctuary, the house of Clod. Mr. Hundley spoke of the houses erected for the worship of Ood in tho olden days, and traced tho various tonus of architecture down to the present time. Of all those now in vogue, he said, the Hot hie was the most magnificent. Every house oroc! od to tho glory of Ood, he said, ought to express in itself some sentiment to touch the soul and thrill the heart. "May Ood bless you iu your new homo," ho said. "Von have put hero." he concluded. " a monument to Ood's glory, expressive of your love for Ood. which carries with it in its very tonn of architecture the idea of abiding strength and abiding power that shall endure on and on. May Ood bless you for this offering of yours, winch you have so willingly given to him in this church." I ho music was very good and appropriate. Tho pipe organ which was used in the old church has boon erected in I ho now building. Miss TTaltio Leavell directed the music. Mr. Wm. Har ison. of Oroonvillo, sang a beautiful solo at tho morning service and Mis* Carrie Pool played the violin, the 'weetest of all musical instruments. The Sunday school licfftj its first meeting in the new Sunday school room Sunday afternoon. Short talks wore made by Mr. W. 3. Scott and Mr. S. R Aul'l. Mr. W. IT. Hunt is the superintendent and there is a flourishing school. 1 he Baptist have decidedly the best and most churchly church building in Newberry. K ... . .. ELECTED SHERIFF. Or. J. W. Nance a Newberry Boy Elected Sheriff Columbia County, Fla. The Herald and News is always deascd to note the success of New>erry people wherever tltey go, and 11 whatever field they labor. The following is therefore published with deasure. Dr. J. W. Nance is a son >f the late J. K. G. Nance who was at me lime auditor of Newberry county and is a brother of Mr. J. D. Nance )f (his county. His mother and other relatives also live in Newberry: Editor The Herald and News: Believing that true merit has much eward in the.appreciation and pleasire felt by the friends and aequainlauces of the deserving, 1 am writing his hit of news for the benefit of the friends and admirers of Dr. J. \Y. Usance, who was born and reared in i'our county. fn June 1 (>t 1) he was, by a priinarv dec! ion c>t Democrats, nominated as iherilV of Columbia county, Florida, for a term oL four years, commencing January 1st, 11)0!). This nomination iimounts to an election. The olTlce of iherin in said county pays, easily, from $5000.00 to $1)000.00 per annum. I his was a generous recognition of a Newberry boy. Our people discovered in Dr. ,1. \\ . N;>nee, as soon as he mixed in our sunny land, a hearty, -enial, popular and well equipped l>hysician, but we have recently ascerI: itied that he is a record breaker in ; i political race. When nature was distributing ener- ' i'nd all the qualities that go to I make tip the successful man and poli- I tieian. she handed .Jack Nance such i budget of equipment that a very dd. thoroughly organized and beretotore undefeated political ring has oine to grief and defeat through the incessant labor and meritorious sue- ' /ess of Dr. Nance in his wonderful ! race for sheriff. It began as a handicap for our man, lor there were three other candidates, who were well started when he enteral the race, lie was further hobbled l>.y his many friends who feared that it he were elected as slieritY he would retire from the practice of his profession. the lirst heat was done with in old thoroughbred, who had never lost a race, clear, and ahead, with our favorite just a neck ahead of the present incumbent. The track was cleared and the next and final heat was lone by Cone, a native of this county, and Nance, and the finish showed that Dr. Nance was an easy winner. I his office in our county is a very responsible and honorable one and we feel that our people are fortunate in securing such a man to* administer tin:* department ot our local govern- j ment. AN e understand he will also continue. to some extent, to practice his profession, in which he has a large pal ronage. Respecf ully, R. T. Boozer. Lake City, Fla., June 20, 100S. A Square Deal Wanted. 1 he people of South Carolina believe in a square deal, and when a candidate tor an otlice is not being treated fairly, it will win sympathy for him. We notice when the candidacy of Hon. Cole. L. Blease is mentioned by certain newspapers they have a way of disparaging him; for instance, the State on Monday says "For governor Martin F. Ansel will have some opposition from C. L. Blease of Newberry." The friends of Mr. Blease resent such treatment, will have some opposition from C. L. Blease," is in our opinion a very sneering way to speak of a candidate for the othce of governor, and unless it is discontinued. Governor Ansel will have good cause to ask to be delivered from his friends. We do not make this protest as a Blease partisan, not ar all, but in the interest of fair play. Tt is our judgment the people of South Carolina are going to give Governor Ansel a ! second term, but we also believe that | Colonel Blease will poll a very large and complimentary vote, but if the masses get it into their heads that lie is the victim of unfair treatment, Governor Ansel's present majority will dwindle into a minority. I he very purpose of the primary system is to give every Democrat a fair show before the people. If the Slate has any argument to bring to bear why the people should vote against Blease, make it in a straight forward and fearless manner, it ought not through its local news columns | slur at the candidate, by saying that his opponent "will have some opposition," to create the impression that the opposition is not taken seriously.?Manning Times.
