He claims not only his interest but the interest of his father whi.ch has been conveyed to him since his mother's death. The defendants. the brother and sister of the plaintiff, are resisting the conten tion ais to the father's interest on the grond that the father and husband deserted his wife and children about twenty years ago, and therefore lost anv interest he might have as an heir at law.

BULLETINS OF THE ELECTION. Southern Bell Telephone Company Furnished News of the Election Tuesday. The election in Newberry on Tues day was very quiet and so far as learned about 60 per cent of the De mocratic vote was cast. The Repub lican ticket received 29 votes in New berry, 6 being white men as only 23 negros are said to have voted. The other tickets receive a scattering vote or two. There was not a great deal of in terest manifested in the result, and no arrangements were made to take the1 Western Union bulletins, but through the courtesy of the Southern Bell Telephone Company The Herald and News arranged to receive the bulle tins furnished by that company. It was soon evident that the Republi eans had won and only a few persons remained until about eleven o 'clock to receive the last bulletins that came in. The first news came from New York and when it was seen that New York had given a large Republican majority those who were watching the bulletins reached the conclusion that the country had gone Republican, and lost interest in the result. It was very clever of the Bell Tele phone Company to furnish these bul letins and they were correct as com pared with the reports which were received next morning in the daily papers. The buletins were received nromptly and placed on the board in front of the Newberry Hardware Company's store. Hunter and Saner. Hunter and Saner have recently erected in the town of Provperity an ,p-to-ite lumber and p~ain.e plant anid grist mill.

The larger part t of the citize.ns were .at the carnival. b However, some erstwhile enthusiastic a Democrats were standing gloomily about The Herald and News bulletin a board looking at the messages tellingi t of the Taft landslide. others were at t the K. of P. lecture, and four or five i were waiting to see if anyone would come Out to see .the "Girl from Mis souri' at the theatre. Jas- a few citizens were at the cit- t izens' meeting. The assemblage was called to order by Dr. 0. B. Mayer,1 chairman of the executive committee, and on motion of Dr. G. B. Cromer, Dr. Mayer was made chairman of the meeting. Mr. C. G. Blease nominated t 1. H. Hunt. Esq., for secretary. and e he was elected. t Hon. Cole L.

This motion was carried. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY e Society Held Meeting in Prosperity- t Well Attended-Many New En- t terprises Undertaken. The 23d annual convention was well attended, 37 of the 53 Woman 's So eieties reporting and 15 of the 'Junior WVorkers, one Young Woman's Auxil liary. Full chorus. lovely solos, hear tv welcome, and a little church un surmassed by any in our Southeland, in O'ur denomination, in beauty of de sign and architecture. picture them selves prominently in our mind. Acting on the suggestion of one of our Voung lavd missionaries from Co lumbia, a private chain-prayer ser vice was held in the pastor's study lasting through the whole of Tues day's sessions. One at a time, and for 13 minutes at a time, was alone with her Maker, ,pleading God's guidance of, and presence with the convention, or presenting to the Father. jointly with her own, the written petitions of some other plead ed. Some were answered, -wonder fully that day. Revs. Kreps, Fulenwider, Harms and Weltner, all gave good and inspirng aaaresses. Pastor Weltner 's being on the Dea coness, Training Work and its pos sibilities in the city of Columbia, was of special interest to us because one of tihe deaconesses, Miss Gertrude Simpson, is supported by our Luther an chmreh of the Redeemier, Newber ry, and ainother by Grace *.hurch, Prosperity, Miss Mary Low Bowers, and Ebenezer, Columbia. These young women gave instructive and helpfulI examples of how to co-nduct Mission Study classes by, turning the mem bers of the convention into a make believe study class, with themselves as leader. Miss Josephine -Copeland, who is now living with them in the j deaconess home, has completed her two year's course, and will leave in January to enter upon her life-work as home missionary. Fo'ir calls have come to her already, and she is await ing God 's leading. Mrs. Cronk and Mrs. Holman gave fine talks on liter- ( ature, stressing the need of mission ary intelligence and dissemination. Our circulating library is in Colum bia awaiting the call, of any society willing to pay freight on it. 'rnd the addition of one volume to it in order to get it for one month. Mrs. Peter Robertson, Mrs. Teddy Johnstone, Miss Dreher Irome, Miss Erin Kohn, Mr. Quattlebaum were h among our sweet soloists, and the name of the lady vistors from New berry was "Legion." To say that we missed the sweet face and happy, spirghty manner of our president, Mrs. J. A. B. Scherer is to express it i very feebly. A telegram of "Love and God bless you" with scripture' passages was received from her. Our societies did more and better work this year than ever before. Mr. Cronk entertained ais highly by taking us on a trip to China, India and Japan, and showing us many cur iosities. The oflicers elected for the ensu ing year' are Mrs. M. 0. J.
