A PLEASANT OCCASION. The Men's Banquet at Central Meth odist Church-Several Visitors Made Inspiring Addresses. The social side of church life has been very much magnified in Central Methodist church since they have had as their pastor Dr. J. W. wolling. Genial and happy in his own disposi tion and temperament, it is ever his study to devise means and plans to give pleasure to others and especially to those of his own congregation. On Wednesday night the parlors of Central church were indeed changed into a scene of beauty under the skill ful and artistic hands of about twenty ladies of the congregation, who were most loyally assisted by a committee composed of several of the geitlemen of the congregation. Places were provided for about one hundred guests, and it is safe to say that this number was very nearly reached. Before the beginning of the banquet the main auditorium of the church was opened and a short and impressive devotional service was conducted. Immediately following this, the men came in a body into the adjoining room and after being seated at the three long tables they were served to a delicious oyster supper followed by cake and coffee. Mr. Z. F. Wright was the grac ious toastmaster for the occasion and sat at the head of the middle ta ble. On his right sat the Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, and l4ev. Melvin B. Kelly, of Greenwood, and on his left Judge J. Fuller Lyon, of Columbia, and Dr. J. W. Wolling. The visiting gentlemen were the guests of honor, and after a most happy and laughter provoking speech by Mr. Wright, into which he also threw some splendid sentiments as to the wise government of church relations, the Rev. Mr. Kelly was introduced. Mr. Kelly is known and loved by the Methodist of Newberry as well as by a large circle of friends outside of this particular church. He was lis tened to with the closest attention, be ing a man of wonderful magnetism and entertaining style, and his sincere greeting to his friends was one of the greatest pleasures of the evening. Following Mr. Kelly, Judge Lyon was introduced and he made quite a houhtful and eloquent address on the subject assigned him, which was the modern church and Sunday school. Mr. Wrig'.:t thecn presented the lion. C. C. Featherstone, and it was a pleas ure to many to have an opportunity to hear this talented and gifted speak er. He said that as the hour was al ready late and the speakers who had preceded 'him had gotten "th-e first blow,'' that he would only make a few brief remarks. However, he said some very good and sensible things, and was loudly applauded. His very in formal talk was along the subject of social life in the church. The occasion would not have been complete without hearing from Dr. Wolling, and as he is ever equal to the task assigned him, he measured* up fully to this festive occasion. He complimented the guests, the toast master, the men of his congregation, the ladies who had prepared the re past, and in fact the doctor was all smiles and was happy with the whole wide world. At the eldse of his remarks a round of applause was given to those who had had the banquet in charge, and with this.elosed the second and so far the most enjoyable banquet yet given by the members of Central Methodist churh. Mr. John Wicker was chairman of t.he committee of gentlemen to make the necessary arrangements, and Mrs. R. D. Wright was chairman of the committee of ladies who assisted the~ pastor in' getting up the very enjoya ble affair. County School Association. On Saturday, February 20,' the County School Association met in the ew court house. About thirty-five teachers and .trustees were present. Dr'. 0. B. Mayer made a very in teresting lecture on school sanitation. This lecture was not only interesting but helpful. We learned that t.he two ways by which disease germs are most frequently scattered are by means of dust and the drinking cup. The floors of most of our school rooms, are very dusty. In this way disease germs are carried from one child to another. The trustees of the school should see that their school houses are kept clean, and they should have the floors of the school room oiled, in order to keep down this dust. A school house should he so situated that t,he morning and afternoon sun could find way into it. fo there are some disease germs which you may1'. freeze, but still they have life in them mntil the sun shines upon them. Dr. E. B. Setzler continued his dis ussion of English Grammar. Mayme Swittnherg, SPECIAL SALE OF PIANuoS. Announcement by the Cable Piauo Company-A Carload of Pianos Arrived at Newberry. Lovers of music have been ol the quia vive anticipating the great sale which is to be con dm-ted by the Cable Piano Company. When the word went torLh that a carload of the finest instri ments made in the great factories of the Cable Company, Chicago and Srt. Charles. Illinois, had arrived at the Southern railroad freight house, it was the signal for much discussion among prospective piano purcaaszrs. It i; not surprising that so m.ch interest has been shown as the fame of the Cable Company's makes of pianos is firmly established nt > ony throughout the entire State of South Carolina, but from coast to coasL. So great indeed has been the demand for their pianos that the Cable Company had to build a great addition to their St. Charles factory which wi ei:able them to add to t.heir output mvore than thirty-five hundred pianos a year. So many inquires have come to he Cable Company at Charle.,n from prospective buyers in Newberrv and vicinity, that Mr. Wallace, presideat of the company, has decided to make it easy for everyone in thi.. part of the country to select a piano to the best satisfaction. The carload which has arrived contains the famous Conover, Cable, Kingsbury and Wel lington Pianos, and also several of those marvels of invention made ex elusively by the Cable Company and known as the Inner Player pianos. These instruments are all shown in the latest and most approved designs and are made up in %woods of the richest grain and most attractive fin ish. If there is a home in Newberry today that is without a piano, there will be no reason or excuse why it s.hould remain destitute of music for the price inducements and the easy terms which are to be features of this sale will make it possible for people of even moderate means to own a standard instrument. Several of our musical people have expressed deep gratification at this decision of the Cable Piano Com pany to bring to our very doors such a splendid collection of pianos, and it is to be hoped that every one who is not now provided with a good instru ment will take advantage of the op portunity while it lasts. It will not only be a chance for these who have no pianos but also for others who have organs or ot.her instruments that they would like to trade. in as part payrent for new pianos. Mr. 'Wallace announces that this sale will be held at 1204 Main street in building formerly occupied by Watts' Racket Store and will con tinue one week. CENTRAL METHOD)IST CHUfRCHL Rev. J. W.
