Held Under Auspices Members of Aid Society Lutheran Church. , A Nice Affair. One who was present at the beauti ful entertainment given last Tuesday evenin:- at the elegant home of Dr. and Mrs. j. M. Kibler wishes to re cord a few of his impressions. As the title says it was a nice affair, 0iven in behalf of church work. The time has come when church peopl,! will control and direct all the nice affairs, nor indeed will they have any other kind. The evening was dark and rainy but that did not hinder the attendance of a enormous and delightful cor painy which tilled the porch and all accessible room. The pro.(ram consisted of musical and vocal selections which were well endered and received hearty ap plause. I eannot attempt to give the names of all the performers but was inlressed that some girls. evidently just home from school. performed their selections with much life and beautiful expression. Miss Hipp salng very well while Mrs. Dr. John stone rendered her pit-e very sweet lv and Mrs. Robertson well sustained her reputation for voice culture. The p)iece sang by Dr. Johnstone and Mrs. Jhnstone. entitled. Romeo and Juliet." was very interesting and (ave a proof that love never dies even between married people. Really Juliet wa; very captivating and ro mantic, but I must be excused -for saving that Romeo seemed, though covered with smiles, just a little stiff in the joints. Evidently he is not as young as he used to be. A pleasait feature of the evening was recitations by Dr. Cromer and Mr. Fred. Dominick. Dr. Cromer re cited in splendid style a selection from Kipling entitled, "The Flag of England.' and then closed up with a humorous piece which he said he had learned thirty years ago. It was very amusing. Mr. Dominick's selec tion was from that never dying book of wit and humor. "The Georgia Scenes," and portrayed some of the ridiculous extremes of the Italian singing and such like. Well, it was all very nice, such lively, pleasant conversation, ad in terim. that means in the mean time, f course, nice refreshments served by beautiftA maidens. a violin solo by oung Mr-. Hipp, some "small talk'' which I did not hear and all over be fore the midnight hour. A beauti ful and as I suppose a successful oc asion. X. ENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH Rev. J. W. Wolling, D.

M.i TRAGING A FUGITIVE. Sheriff Buford Lands a Man Wanted For Murder in Bamberg-Found Him in Edgefield County. Sheriff Buford went over into Edgefield county. almost to the Geor gia line. several days ago, and cap tured a negro wanted for murder in Bamberg, and who, it is said, is also wanted in Barnwell for horse steal ing. and in Aiken for stealing a horse and mule and three bales of cotton, and for some other offences; includ ing resisting arrest. Sheriff Buford delivered him to the Bamberg sheriff, and he was placed in the Bamberg jail to await trial on the charge of murder. The tracing of the man bY Sheriff Buford and his final capture is an in teresting story. Some time ago Sher iff Buford received a letter from the Bamberg authorities stating that a negro had stolen a hor'se and buggy at Montmorenei. and Sheriff Buford was given a description of the team and of the neyro who was uispicion ed. and asked to look out for the out fit in Newberry. The team was not in Newberrv. Later Sheriff Buford received a letter from the Bamberg sheriff statinz that the wron. negro had been suspicioned. it having been learned that another negro had taken the team and gone to Georgia with it. However. it was stated that the negro at first suspicioned was wanted for murder and the other offences named above. Sheriff Buford learned that the ne gro 's wife was from Graniteville, and that she was working in Columbia for a lady who formerly lived at Granite ville. Thxough this lady he learned that letters were being sent to the negro, under an assumed name. at Falfa. a short distance from Clark's Hill. in -Edgefield county. Sheriff Bu ford went to Clark's Hill, and thence to Falfa. traveling under the assum ed name of Mr. Jenkins. He finally located the negro, living in a house with two other negroes near the house of a negro named Sullivan, for whom the man the sheriff was hunting was working. The man the sheriff wanted, Ulysees Mayes. had been having let ters sent to him, under various assum ed names, in care of Sullivan, and it was through these letters that Sheriff Buford, as stated, finally traced him down. Sheriff Buford, accompanied by Henry Bunch a son of Dr. Bunch, went to the house where the negroes were, at about two o 'clock in the morning, and made the arrest. Sheriff Buford gaves Mayes a history of his (Mayes') whereabouts for some time past, and a history of a good many~ >f his actions, and after hearing it. Hayes said htere was no use for him to deny it, that he was the man want Maves 'was arrested in Bamberg in 1907. charged with murder in the illing of Shelly Paul. He escaped rom ja.il in May. 1907, shortly af :er his arrest. * * * * * * * * * * * * SOCIAL. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Miss Floride Lominiek gave a very njyable reception on Iast Friday aight to which about seventy-five of. er friends were invited. Delicious *efreshments were served and the oc rasion was one of much pleasure. * * * The entertainment given at the some of Dr. J. M. Kibler on Tues ay night was a treat from both a musial and artistic standpoint. Some af the best talent in the city took rart. and although the evening was isagreeable outside, yet inside every-i thing was bright and lovely, and it was one of the best gotten up affairs af this kind rendered this season. Every piece was highly enjoyed. The members of Central EpworthI ieue last night, held their literary and social meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Wright. Although the meeting had not taken place when the paper went to press, yet it is safe to say that in the hands of this grac ious and charming hostess, and at t;his hospitable home, it was a very de lightful affair. * * * The following invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Teague, and will be of interest to the people of this community, as Mr. and Mrs. Teague anti their family were once residents of this city: Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

The mn mbers felt eneoura'zed at the close of the meetingz. and feel as if the time will come when they will realize that t hey have accdomlilshled something al;mg :he lines of e:vir- beauty and imrwement The Wilburs' Dairy and Farm. Dr. Rev. J. W. Wolling, D. D. About tiree miles out from New berry Mr. Welch Wilbur and his brother. Mr. Joe Wilbur, have a farm and dairY which siw what industry and intelli enlt ,diretion can do. I had visited the piace b. re but wish ed to go agZai. a)d s when mv friend Dr. S. G. We-h olfered to take me for a drve out there behind his tiery steed. wite-loote. i:nmediatelv ac tepted. Right after breakfast we left for the farm and on reaching there were met by Mrs. Welch, the mother, who kindly gave us a hearty welcome and refreshing drinks, and then out we went with Mr. Joe Wilbur to see and admire the fine cows,. and beautiful I am not well enough informned as to farms to give any extended judg ment. but can say that the crops do look fine and well cultivated. The dairy is well mounted with all the modern improvements. The large barIn is furnished with a ga-oli-ne en ,rine for cutting and preparing. the food. large lattici windows keep all lark and cool. and the entire build in is illuminated with electricity, and( though they are milking now about twenty cows everything is kept clean and inviting. This is the time to visit the pond to see the lotus plants. the beautiful water-lily. As we went we passed by where the Jersey bull. a fine animal. is fastened by a ring in his nose to tho running wire. As he pawed the dirt and lifted his noble head to look at us I could not help but look at that little cord and wonder if it was resal ly strong enough to hold him. When we reached the pond great, immense bull frogs, with a grunt of disappro val of our presence, plunged into the water while the blackbirds which seem to have their nests among the reeds flew away with notes of warn ing. But how shall I describe the beau tv of the lilies? Down oi the surface of the water rest the beautiful white blooms of the water-lily while the handsome bloom of the lotus in deli. cate pink and white lift their heads in every direction. They are Egyp tian lilies- whose ancestors no doubt grew along the ba-nks of the Nile and it may have been among such beauties that Moses was hidden in ancient times in bis little arc of. bulrushes. It is worth a trip, to the friendly nome of the Wilburs to see these beautiful flowers. Mr. Joe Wilbur without further ceremony waded out into the pond and gathered for ma some beauties whieh I brought home and distributed to the delight of friends and home folks. Before returning we went down to the nice modern home of Mr. Welch Wilbur where we had the pleasure of meeting the good lady of the h'ouse, who, bright and cheerful as usual, gave us a cordial welcome. Of course she would, she was a Methodist and just a few years a go we passed her ver to the Presbyterian. Thesn Pres byterian friends are all right, but tere is no discredit on the Metho dist, especially such as Mrs. Wilbur. And thus ended our visit among the rowing erops and beauties ofthat ountry home.
