Il is what I be name indicates and more. It is not only a reunion of ' the students and ex-students of tbe Newberry college, but it is n reunion of the people for all this section of tbe State. It is a time when they come ' together to renew old acquaintance ] j and to make new ones and to mingle i with one another. They gather not 1 only from Newberry county, but from J all of the adjacent territory, and the crowds are never less than 3,000 to < {>,000 people. j The (X. & L. railroad has al- | ways been very accommodating to the ] people of Newberry, and this year, ( though the railroad is unable to secure extra coaches, President Ohilds lias decided to place a special engine at Newberry, with about sc\nn coach- ] es, and will make as many trips as are necessary to take the people from Newberry to Little Mountain, and bring them back to their homes in the J afternoon. The f'ir^t train will leave | I Newberry at seven o'clock tliis morn- 1 | ing, and will return for the second i j load just as soon as il can make the ( trip from Newberry to T,it tie Mouu- | tain and return; and he will run the v train between Newberry and Little | Mountain until he lias taken all the | people who desire to go and will re- ^ turn them to their homes. ;| j On account of this special arrange- i | men!, however. Mr. fluids will not ! be able to run a special train from Columbia, but those who desire to | come from Columbia may leave on the r .early train at 3.20, reaching Little | Mountain about five o'clock, and re- j turn in the afternoon at four o'clock j j or at night. Or if they desire they | j may come up at midday, reaching ! Little Mountain at about twelve | o'clock and returning on the same , In,ins. j A lir>t-class barbecue will he ar- ,, ranged by Mr. A. N. Roland, who v says thai he proposes to break all ,, past records and will this year fur! nisli one of tlie finest barbecues that" I has ever been given at Little Monn! ! No regular program of speeches f lias been arranged, but it is expected j thai some of the students and ex- f students of the college will make ad- ,. dresses. j It is probable that the Rev. J. H. n Harms, the newly elected president n of the college, will be present at the f meeting. t The rate from Newberry for the n | round trip is seventy cents. . , y WINTHROP SCHOLARSHIPS. , c Misses Annie Ray and Annie Folk r Winners of Wintlirop College r Scholarships. \ The following telegram was received by The Herald and News from j !

BLEASE ENCOURAGED. 1 3clicves His Chances for Election are : Excellent?Grateful for the Kindnesses Shown Him. Senator Cole. L. Blease was a very ^ >usy man all day Wednesday. lie nul spent but a few days in Xewber- ' y since the opening of the State ' 'umpaign, and his friends from ' hroughout Newberry county were | ' vanling to shake his hand and talk to j lim. From all over the county his!' riencls and supporters In^i come to ! 1 peak lo him and to grasp his hand, , f ind to tell liiin thai they were expect- j ng him to l>. the next governor of i ' vjulh Carolina. r Mr. HI ease had little time to talk 1 o the newspaper people, but he gave ut the following interview: "You may just say that I am feeing greatly encouraged over the outi>ok at present," said Senator ( ilease. "We have been in thirty-five j oinilies. 1 feel confident that I i hall carry a larire majority of these, i oine ot them by handsome, majoriics. I have been well received in very county; I found my old friends j till with me, and made many new lies. \ " I have every reason to believe that lie voters of South Carolina are well 'leased with the platform I am staining on,, and that they admire the eforts 1 am making in the interests of he taxpayers of South Carolina. Tn ( act, this is no longer considered "my 1 ace for the governorship. Tt is the ( ight of the people?the masses ^ gainst the classes, the taxpayers t igainst (he tax-spenders. It is a t ight for a more economical adminis- | ration of the affairs of the State, i nd above all a fight to keep the >olitics of South Carolina free from icgro votes and negro office-holders. "The people very county in the ^tato have been exceedingly kind to ne in every way; they have shown ne many courtesies. T thank them cry much for it all, and I will be rlad for you to tell them so for me. ''T am especially grateful to the ^ >eople of Newberry county, where T ^ vas born and where T have lived all j ny life, for the royal reception they ^ rave me on Wednesday. Tl touched j ne tenderly, coming as il did with- j ?ut expectation. 7 wish some of mv nemies who have been trying to in- i ure me politically by saying my ionic people were against me had >een here. 1 think perhaps they vould have been convinced that heir own statements were false." Mr. Blease seems to have been landing the ardor of the campaign 1 veil, lie appears robust and in cxellent spirits. Tie left yesterday ' norning for Greenwood, where the ' andidates speak today. i 1 BURNED TO DEATH. I foung Lady of Chester Comity Meets | With Horrible Death While Pre- , paring Dinner. , The State.
