His theme was divid ed into three parts, three visions of Christian Education, First, the in ward vision, the recognition of the a talents and the capacity of the per son.

The sdagres3was an able and enjoyable In the afternoon Dr. Harms ad d1reised the young men of the city at the Baptist chureh. His theme was the Good Man. The leading eharacteristie. of the Good Man was eodhecience (responsive), his every day guide and influence. The Good 6 Man studied the word of God, used that as his true touch stone of Chris tian characters. Hie loved pure and moble minded associates and sought Their compan.y. A large number of men heard the address and it was a treat to them. AN EXPLANATION. Herald and News Missed Some of Mails Last Issue on Account of a - Breakdown. The last issue of The Herald and News missed some of 'the mails on ac count of a break in the press before $he first hundred copies had been -printed. Two of the cog wheels wer.e damaged, and it was impossible to continue the printing until these cogs were repaired. The Newberry Obser ver very courteously allowed us the use of its press. A good, clean piece of work was done by Mr. C. M. West, in charge of the machine shops at the Newber ry Cotton mill, in repairing Tihe Heir cog wheels which were an exact fit -and t.he adjustment of these cogs is very delicate-and he did the work in a very short 'time on Friday moin ing. It was a clever piece of work, quickly done. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS. High Officials of Masonic Grand Lodge With Amity Lodge on Wednesday Evening. Amity lodge, No. 87, A. F. M., was honored by the 'presenoe, in their otficial capacities, of four grand lodge officers on Wednesday evening, when the Master's degree was conferred! upon two candidates, Messrs. James S.

Bryan, of Greenville, and District Deputy Grand Master Geo. Y. Hunter, of Prosperity. The degree work was in charge of the grand lodge officers, -%itd by the officers of the local lodge. An elegant supper was served by Mr. A. T. Brown, of the Newberry hotel, in the ante-rooms of the lodge. Following the degree work brief addresses were made by the grand lodge officers present, and by Dr. J. W. Welling, Dr. J. Henry Haxms, and the Rev. C. W. Kelly. - In the remarks of Grand Master Michie he took occasion to compli ment very highly the work of the lodge, but said that the excellent showijug madie was no surprise to him, coming from, a lodge in which Senior Grand Warden Geo. S. Mow er and Past Master Fred H. Dominick took so active an interest. There was a large attendance of the members of the lodge and visit ing brethren, and the occasion was one of pleasure and profit. RURAL CARRIERS. Will Have Dinner at Newberry May 31-Want Next State Conven. tion to Meet in Newberry. The rural carriers of the Newberry office have decided to give a dinner to the rest of the carriers and sub-car riers of the county on the 31st of May next. This date is the time for the annual meeting of the county R. L. C. association but all carriers and sub-oarriers of ti county will be in -rired to come whiether members of the. associatipp or not. An attractive programme will be 'gotten out for the occasion. During this meeting dele gates to th1e State convention will be elected. Each county association is allowed one delegate-at-large and one for each ten members or fraction thereof. Thus: if Newberry enrolls 21 members she will be entitled to four delegates .in the State conven tion. The State convention meets this year at Rock Hill and a strong effort is going to be made by the Newberry delegation to bring the next State convention to Newberi-y. h order to strengthen this delegation it is hoped that the few carriers in the county who have not yet joined the association will see their way elear to do so and that as many sub-ear riers as can possibly do so will also join. With a good strong associa tion sending a large delegation to Rock Hill next July and with the en couragement and backing of our home people the next convention can 1be brought to Newberry. Conventions are great advertising agencies and especially is this true of rural carrigrs conventions becauise the delegates belong to ani occupation that brings them in daily contact with a great many people-people of all classes both in the towpis and in the country districts. It will he a good thing for Newberry to have the carriers from all over South Carolina meet here in 1910. Obamber of Commerce. There will be a called meeting of the chamber of commerce on Monday night, April 12, at, 8.30 o'clock. A full attendance is urged. 0. B. Mayer, S. S. Cunningham, President. Seeretary.

INVITES GOVERNORS Cief Executive of Thirteen Original States to Participate in Cele bration. Special to The Herald and News. Charlotte, April 8.-The central rsommittee which is directing the pro grram of exercises to be held here on the twentieth of May in celebration of the 134th anniversary of the sign ing of the Meeklenburg Declaration of Independence, has invited the gov ernors of the thirteen original States to come to Charlotte for the three days' festivities. Governor Eben S. Draper has accepted. The people of Charlotta are prepar ing to give Mr. Taft the greatest re eption ever accorded a president of the United States in a Southern city. Local officials of both the Southern and Seaboard railroads have given the assurance that ample train accom .nodations will be provided and that reduced rates will be offered. Spec ial trains will be operated into the city on the 20th-"Taft Day''-from 1* * * THE IDLER. * * * i* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *1 I understand Mr. A. L. Wyse, of Saluda county, was in Newberry re centlv and he wanted to know from the editor who The Idler is. I heat he said that he could tell the differ-i ence between water ground and steam ground meal as soon as the hoecake was put before him on the table, and that the water ground meal made the sweetest bread. He said he did not know why it was unless the water mill ran slower and therefore did not heat the meal. But suppose the steam mill also ran slow. I have seen some stcam mills which ran very slow. Then I heard Mr. Wyse said that most of the water mills in his county used the Cloud's creek rocks and they made the .best .meal. Well, it makes little difference .until our farmers grow more corn because most of them now use bought meal which is bolted and the old fashioned mills are about out of business. --- In looking through some old papers I found the following in the Clifton Chronicle: "Any girl who has a waste basket in a fair state of preservation can have a new spring hat without much cost. A few blossoms and red ribbon will do the rest." I thought the styles were not so large this sea son but when you come to think about it they do turn down just a little around the edges of something after the fashion of a cooter shell. When a pretty sweet face is beneath the hat I never look at the hat very much. -0 They say that every one who passes the new court house has some criti cism to make of the way the work is being done. Oh, well, that is nat ural. Every fellow knows better how to do the job than the fellow who is on it. I understand the work is being done according to the plans made by the landscape gardener em ployed by. the Civic association. I remember that one time when I was in Columbia I thought they were just going to play the dickens with the State house grounds by the way the trees were being eut and slashed and I felt like geting out an injunction, but I didn't and now that the work is done I have come to the conclusion they knew more about it than I did. o0 In these matters you just have to go ahead and do yoar duty as you see it and according to what is best and let the kickers kick. It will all comre out right in the end if you do it right. Something ought to be done with the old court house. I voted to keep the building, but when I did so I thought the city and county officials would reach some agr ement by which the lower story would be nicely fitted up as a rest room for the ladies and children from the country who come to Newberry to do their shopping. And tha.t the upstairs wenild be'us3ed for publie meetings and conventions. If I had not thought so-I sure would have voted to tear it down. Have .you ever been on atrg when thie dust was disagrneably and the passengers yho oenpied~ the seat immediately in front of yo~ insisted on keeping the irindow iap? I hiave, and it does not prodqee in~ sp the proper frame of "mind for uday meditation. It does not seeni to be realized that the fellow who sits be ind the open window receives all the dust and cinders. It is only an other evidence- that indicates a spirit of selfishness and utter disregard of the comfort or feelings of the other' fellow. I am afraid the spirit of al truism is not growing as rapidly in this age as it ought to. ...0-.. I found another paragraph in this same Clifton Chronicle -that I want to print in this column because I have heard some people thereabouts speak ing lightly of the town papers and I know. the papers have done a blame sight' (excuse me, please), more for them than they ever did for the pa pers and more for the town than they ever wi]l do if they live to be a thous and years old. And if everybody supported the papers as they do there would be no paper printed in New berry. But listen to what this little paper at Clifton has to say and read it a second time: "When you hear a man sneering at the local paper be ause it is not big, cheap and newsy you can safely bet he does not squan der any of his wealth in assisting to make it better and that generally the paper has done more for him than he hs for it. The man who cannot see bhenefits arising from a local news paper is about as much value to a town as a delinquent tax list.' By the way, I understand that this aper is edited by a man whose name is Reid and that 'he is a brother of Mr. B. B. Reid at the Newberry Knit tin mil Well he says some mighty good and true things. -0 It seems to me that I read in both the city newspapers that the Jno..M. Kinard Camp, sons of veterans held a meeting and that at this meeting a committee was appointed to raise funds for the proposed monument to the women of the Confederacy. I also read in the newspapers where a few persons had made contribugions to this fund and that these lists would be kept at the newspaper offices and additional contributions would be ae knowledged. Now, I have not seen any additional collections acknow ledged. Has the thing been dropped? What is the committe doing? New berry must not be behind in this good work. -0 I hope no farmer will be eneourag ed to plant an extra supply of cot ton because the price has advanced a little in the last week of two. This thing usually happens about plant ing time. Plant corn and peas and potatoes and sorghum cane and those things you can 'eat and feed to your stock. THE AMUS-U THEATRE. Attractive Features Secured For This Popuar Thea*e-Bomething Doing all the Time. The Amus-U Theatre is still at tracting large crowds, -and there- is something doing here all the time. At this popular vaudeville this- week there is being presented a yery heavy and enjoyable program. T.he management of this theatre has secured two more good perform ers who are well known to the pa trons of the Amus-U Theatre, Miss Louise Grace and Master Robert Mil. ler. It will be remembered that these dainty. and attractive performers were engaged during the opening week of the vaudeville, and by theic graceful aeting made a very decided hit receiving much applause at every performance. The Tripplets also deserve special credit for the,r varied and first cla peroftmanc fi.e;. work vcald be a credit to any vaudeville house. For next week the management has engaged Collins and Herbert an4 they will entertain the theatre goirg public all of next week. Special alt tention is to be called to this team as it 'is the best in the South, and can only he secured by the larger cities. Everybody who enjoys fun and good acting should come out to see these actors. Those in charge of the thea tre have gone to much expense to get these high-toned performers and the public is expeeted to come out to give them a good audience. NBWS OF WHITMIRE.
