The Ci as-:.@se.on will &eet on Monday :IfternooI at iwe o'clock at the combnr commrce. and a flu atLeituie is dLsired as matters of i:. zwe w a to )e diseassed. A. pruminent railroad oticial has tendered to the members of the Asso ciation w:hat promises to be a very delightful litttle trip, and at this meeting the final arrangements will be discussed. In order to conduct any kind of or ganiz4tion it is necessary to have the financial condition of same in good shape. The associat:, has only the wemubership duIes for an income, and th Is who iave i. t I aid their d--s for 1^08 are earnestly requested to hand the money to cover them either to the president, Mrs. Floyd, the see retary, Mrs. Frank Hunter, or to the the treasurer, Mrs. Robt Wright. As has been seen by all those who pass by the monument square, the Court House grounds, or who have recently visited the cemetery, . that the good work of the Civic associa tion is beginning to be evident, as these places, and no doubt before summer there will be still greater improvements to be noted. DR. S. C. BAKER. President State Medical Association Will Speak Tonight at Amus-U Theatre. To-night at 8:30 o 'clock, instead of nine o'clock as previously announced, Dr. S. C. Baker, of Sumter, Presi dent of the State Medical Associa tion, will make an address at the Amus-U Theatre, which no doubt will be quite entertaining as well as ex ceedingly instructive. The address is to be made at the Amus-U Theatre because through the .kindness of Mr. Epting, the manager, Dr. Baker will have the use of his ap paratus in exhibiting stereopticon views with which to illustrate his lecture on the great subject of tuber culosis, and then, too, there are an abundance of good, comfortable seats at this theatre and a great number can be accommodated. Perhaps there is no subject at present which is being agitated asi is the theme upon which Dr. Baker expects to talk. In homes of the cultured and the wealthy as well as in the homes of the poor and needy the much dreaded tuberculosis makes its appearance and sometimes so) suddenly and unexpectedly does it se-ize and claim its victims that the entire community is bewildered and shocked. The '.n'or'ean Indians seem to be the mo.st st sceptible to the ra.aes of tuberculosis, and it is said th-at if the spread of the dissease is not checked am' a' these pes, 2. ua in a short ti1ne some of the tr '>-: will be entirely vestroyed from .:ie face 4 the eanh. +. rii:o, woman, rd child that e: t in ti e Amus-U Triestii to .1: should be there an iIs..- ~rnh; Dr. Baker 'has to say in regard to preventing the spread of this deaded malady. There will be no admission charged for.the lecture, as Dr. Baker comes on the invitation of the Anti t'aberculosis league and it will defray all necessary expenses.. There will be no performance by the theatre before the lecture but the performance will begin as soon as the lecture is over. CHARLOTTE CELEBRATION.

THE VETERANS DINNER. The Daughters of the Confederacy Gettting Ready for the Annual Dinner tto Veterans May 10. 0n MIay ile 10th the Daughters of the Confederaey will give their an nali dinner to tle Confederate vet erans of this eomimuiity, and any fi'iends who feel interested in the veterans' dinner and wish to make contributions can do so by getting in communication with the chairman of the .committee, Mrs. E. M. Evans, or send the contributions directly to her. It has now become the custom of the Daughters to give the Veterans a dinner on each Memorial Day, the 10th of May, and at each of the previous dinners there has been a large crowd of these dear old veter ans, and sometimes as many per haps as three hundred enjoyed the hospitaIty of the Drayto-1 Rather ford Chapter, U. D. C., in the after noon of th.e tenth of May the usual Memorial exercises will be held, of course, and a program of same print ed later. In the meantime, however, Mrs. Evans earnestly requests that every person in the city keep this dinner in mind and inform her at the eariiest date possible when it will suit them to make their contribution and what it shall be. It is to be hoped that this dinner will be the best and the most enjoyable of any of the din ners yet given by the members of the Chapter. CALHOUN JURY COMPLETED. Efforts to Get Jury Has Lasted Nine ty-one Days. San Francisco, Cal., April 13. The jury that will try Patrick Calhoun president of the United Railroads, on a charge of offering a bribe, was completed today. Otto S. Marcroth, retired grocer, was sworn in as the twelfth jurdr. The attempt to get a ju-ry has extend ed over a period of ninety-one days. Assistant District Attorney F. J. Henry immediately made application to Court for the selectionof a thir teenth juror, to be in readiness to take the place of any of the twelve who may be disqualified by illness or by some other reason. The request was earnestly opposed by counsel for the defendant, who declared it might consume another week to secure thre additional juror. After considerable argument, Judge Lawlor made an order for the selec tion of one, alternate juror, as re quired by the prosecution. Retreat, Never! 'In an Irish garrison town a theat rial company was giving perform anes, andi some scldiers from the .lo al barracks were engaged to act as supers. Their duties included the waging of a fierce fight in which, after a stirring struggle, one army was defeated on a given signal from the prompter. For a few nights all went well, but on the Friday even ing a special performance of the piece was to be given under the pat ronage of the colonel and other offi ers of the garrison. The two armies met as usual at the end of the second act. when they fought and fought and kept on fighting, regardless of the agonized glare in the eye of their (actor) general, who hoarsely order ed the proper army to "Retreat, con found you!'' But the fight still went on, and soon the horrified manager saw the wrong army being driven slowly off the stage, still fighting deseprately. Down came the curtain amid roars of laughter, and the fum ing manager hastened to ask the de linquents why they failed to retreat on hearing the signal. "Retraite,'' roared a burly fusilier, whose visage had been badly battered, "and is it retraite ye 'd have us, wid t.he colonel and tA the offieers ir ' Coming. Dr. I. E.

Fourth That we extend to his fam ily our heartfelt sympathy and the consolation of our testimony that while their loved one lived on earth, he lived worthily. Fifth That a copy of these resolu tions be preserved in our record book and that one be sent to the family f our decease Brother, and one pub ished in the county papers. S. J. Derrick, C. A.

Mr. Allen Counts has returned from a visit to his mother Mrs. Lou, Counts, who has been very ill for some time. Miss Margaret Johnson and Caro lyn Cromer, of Newberry, visited Miss Della Bowers this week. Mr. Effingham Ridgell, a popular commercial tourist of Batesburg is in the city. Quiet reigns once more on our streets. The jolly college crowd, that came home to enjoy Easter cessa tion from studies, has resumed (?) them. Yet we fancy that they have not entirely eliminated from their mind.; and hearts certain fair maids and certain stunning Easter bonnets and mothers' excellent cakes and pies and sweetmeats-and admo nitions to be good and make a ree ord in classes. We are getting ready to revel in the ideal weather that seems to be coming our way. Like th;e "burnish ed dove" and "a young man 's fancy" we are preparing to accom modate ourselves to the changed con-, ditions and let them affect us as they' will. Miss Marie Lathan, of Little, Mountain, visited at Wise Hotel this week. The Palmetto club will be enter tained by Mrs. G. Y. Hunter on Fri day afternoon.

Kreps, who was so in disposed last week as not to be able to meet his appointments last Sun day, has recovered sufficiently to be; out once mqre. Mr. George Harmon has returned from the Atlanta Dental College. We are glad that Mr. A. Logan Wyse called attention to the over sight of Dr. Asa F. Langford's efforts in connection with Samps Bridges and the Wallace House in '76. The 'role of peacemaker was es sentially Dr. Langford 's. He is .even now surely enjoying the reward of which a certain beatitude speaks. Eternity alone will reveal "the little nameless acts of kindness and of love'' that follow in the wake of this man's long and useful career as a citizen and physician. None were ever too poor to claim his time and 'skill; the weather was never too extreme for 'him to brave, and he was never too busy to minister to the wants of anyone, irrespective of color, who chose to come to him. We are sorry to state that Mrs. I Jacob Shealey, mother of our towns man, Mr. D. I. Shealey, was stricken' with paralysis several days ago. It: gives us equal pleasure to say that: ihe is the oldest 'missionary worker! in the Mt. Tabor congregation. She' has been an active member for more' than 60 years. In an early issue of The Lutheran Church Visitor tihe pic-' ture of Mr. and Mrs. Shealey and their large, interesting and unbroken family of children .will appear. Dr. Cromer's talk on Sunday morn ing was of a 'high order. He received undivided attention throughout his discourse. His openirig remark was' "What has Easter to do with mis sions. Why a missionary talk at Eas ter-time?"' He wove together beau-' tifully and 'deftly nature, illustration and story to sihow how these two are unseparably linked together. His treat ment of the subject was novel and convincing. The singing and responses by the children were well rendered. Miss Annie Laura Lester made a flying trip to Columbia this week. Mrs. Claud Singley spent the Eas tertid'e with friends in Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Lorick, of Augusta, who have been the guests of the latter's aunt, Mrs. J. P.' Wheeler. have returned home.

S. SEASE. Took The Oath of Office as Judge Of Seventlh Circuit-Newberry Boy. Tio. S. Sease, a native of New berry aini for many years a success ful solicitor, in fact one of the best ill the State. yesterday took the oat'h of office as judge of the seventh cir cuit. He was elected solicitor of the seventh circuit while residing in Newberry. Later he moved to Spar tanburg and when Newberrv was placed in the 8th circuit he remained solicitor of the 7th. At the recent session of the legis lature he was elected circuit judge to sneceed Judge Hydrick Who was made associate justice of the Supreme Court. The following tribute from Judge Memminger, who is holding court at Spartanburg, Mr. Sease's last court as solicitor, will be read with pleas ure by Mr. Sease's many friends in this county: Judge Memming-r, in speaking to the grand jury at the opening of the general sessions court, paid a high compliment to Solicitor Sease and gave due praise to his splendid rec ord as solicitor of the seventh judi cial circuit. His remarks were as follows: "During the week as you know, gentlemen, Mr. Solicitor Sease retires from that office, during the term of which he has accumulated a store of honor and has become a power for law and order in this circuit. As a fit result and culmination of those services, he has been chosen to be a circuit judge; as one among the twelve of us who in turn are over t'his state, have given to us by the people of the state, the power of life and death and the meting out of that most serious of all human preroga tives, criminal punishment, which ci vilized society must of necessity' for its own preservation and protection, lodge somewhere, and seeks to lodge only in those in whom it can have the utmost confidence. We feel sure that in the larger and perthaps more dif ficult sphere of official administra tion the people of this county as well as of the whole state will have cause to be as proud of Mr. Sease as judge as they must of necessity have been of Mr. Sease as solicitor." "Mr. Otts of Cherokee, will as you. know, take up the work of 'solicitor under appointment of our governor recently made and announced. We wish and have cause to expect of him earnest and efficient work. You will accord him that attention and re spect to which the high responsibili ties of his .office entitle him. We trust and confidently ihope that it will prove to be' true that in this case "the mantle of Elijah shall have fal len upon the shoulders of Elisha.'' The Spartanburg Herald has the following to say editorially: "Judge Memminger's tribute to Solicitor Sease upon the eve of Mr. Sease's reti.ring from that office to become circuit judge, is entirely ap propriate and expressive of the sen timent of that county' and the entire sevent~h circuit. Solicitor Sease has been a "power for law and order'' and his ability as a prosecuting at torney is thoroughly understood and respected wherever 'he has appeared in behalf of the State. "May the same good sense and high principle that has charaeterized his course as solicitor attend him throughout his career on. the circuit bench. There is work for such men on the circuit bench in South Caro lina.'' Gen. E. A. Garlington, of the U S. Army, is expected in Newberry to morrow on a short visit to his mother and sister, Mrs. A. C. Garlington and Mrs. W. Y. Fair. Messrs. Watt Handerson and James Caldwell of the Broad River section have gone on a trip through the West, and will be away some three or four weeks. Mr. A. A. McCollough, the efficeient Plant foreman for the Southern Bell Telephone Company, was in Columbia on business Saturday and Sunday. we wish to cast a bouquet in the Edi tor's direction. The last issue of The Herald and News surely attained the hih-water mark of excellence in its line. Mr. Editor, you deserve, and I am sure you have, the appreciative thanks of all your many interested readers. We have been told by vari ous people that your paper is by far oe of the most eagerly sought for papers that enters their homes. Just the other day a lady remarked that s~he and hber son always had a race for the mail box on days when The Herald and News is wont to arrive, and that last Friday's issue was such a multiplicity of sheets that the en tire family had the pleasure of read .nta~ the same time. LIVELY COTTON MARKET. Mr. 0. MeR. Holmes Gets Busy Buys Over 500 Bales--Price Ten Cents. The Newberry cotton market has been pretty lively for the past few days owing to the sudden inerease in price. As is usually the case, however, the increase came too late to do a great many of our farmers very much good. However, some of them qlad not sold and will get the benefit of the increase. Mr. 0. MeR. Holmes bought on yesterday 425 bales at about ten cents around and on the day before he bought about 125 bales at the same price. This paper is not published to make money, but to do good. We therefore kindly ask such as are interested in the work it seeks to promote to as sist in its circulation. That is, please help to scatter this big tract. Cotton Market. Reported by 0. MeR.
