The End Came At An Early Hour Saturday Morning.-A Man Deep ly and Sincerely Mourned. Mr. Alex. T. Brown, proprietr of the Newberry hotel. died shortly be fore S o'clock on Saturdav mrinin. Mr. Brown had been suffering for some time with heart trouble, with complications. anid. while it was known that death might be expected at any time. vet the end, when it came, was very sudden, Mr. Brown having waked on Saturday morning feeling better. Mr. Brown was fortv-tlree years of a(e in December last. He was born near Cro.;s Hill. in Laurens county, and moved to Newberry in 1894. For a number of years after comMin to Newberry he Nwas engaged in the stock and livery stable business. During the latter part of last year he leased the Newberry hotel, to the manage ment of which he had since given his attention. Mr. Brown served Newberry as mayor for two terms, during the years .1906 and 1907, having voluntarily re tired at the end of his second term. Prior to his election as mayor he had served his ward as alderman. Of a generous nature and genial disposition, with a big heart, he made warm friends wheiever he was known and held them. He was one of the most popular eitizens of Newberry, and had hosts of personal friends and acquaintances throughout South Car olina and in other States. As a pub lie servant, during his terms as al derman from his ward and as mayor of the city, he was faithful to the trust which had been reposed in him, and zealous in the public service. He was public-spirited, and for the past fifteen years, during which he had been identified with the interests of Newberry, he had lent his encourage ment to every movement which look ed towards tbh upbuilding of the city. In his every walk in life he was loyal and true, and his death is a distinct loss to Newberry, and is sincerely mourned here and wherever hie was known. The genial nature which was one of his characteristics made him extreme ly popular with the traveling public, and under his management the New berry hotel had continually grown in favor. Mr. Brown was a member of New berry lodge, No. 1103, B. P. 0. Elks; Newberry lodge, No. 75, Knights of Pythias, and Bergell tribe, No. 24, Improved Order of Red Men, and of Cateechee Council, No- 4, Degree of Pocahontas. On Sunday afternoon at five o'clock Newberry lodge of Elks held a ses sion of sorrow, which was attended by practically the entire local member ship of the lodge, at which time a beautiful tribute was paid the memory of the deceased brother. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, with interment at Rose mont cemetery at six o'clock. Simple but impressive services were conduct d at the grave by the Rev. Geo. A. Wright, p)astor of the First Baptist church. The great number of sorrow ing friends who followved the remains to their final resting place was evi dence of the esteem and love in which Mr. Brown was held by the people among whom he lived. As the fun eral procession proceeded to Rose mont the muffled city hall bell was tolled as a tribute of respect to the memory of an ex-mayor of the city. Tlhe funeral procession was one of the la.rgest ever seen in Newvberry. Floral offerings of beautiful and tender desigrn came from Mats of friends in the city and mani; places elsewhere The pall bearers were as follows: Honorary: T. C. Pool. L. W. Floyd, E. M. Evans. J.

The brush eating instinct of the A.ngora goat is being successfully demonstrated on the Lassen National Forest in .California where they are utting trails for fire guards through the brushy areas on the slopes of the mountains. The animals, which number 3,000 have been divided into two bands and under the care of the herders a.re grazed within certain well defined areas so that their work may be con eentrated on the brush within those limits. The result is that they have practically killed nearly all -the brush in the eourse either by eating it up en irely, or by barking, as in the case of the heavy manzanita bushes. At thebeginning of the experiment there was some doubt as to the goats' wil lingess to eat the manzanita, but it has been found that where there is little else they will just as readily at tack it as any other bushes. The grazing season was so late this year on the Lassen Forest that the goats did not begin operations untl about the middle of June, but since then they have made rapid prog ~ess and the result promises to be ~ success from every point of view. I" e trails will first be opened and then kept free of sprouts by the oats. saving the Government con iderable labor in cutting them out' y hand a- has been done heretofore, Kile the brushy forage whieh other wise would have been wasted will onn0 goat very comfortably. WONDERS WHO HE IS. The Idler Creates Comment in Lau rens.-Col. Dickert's Articles Appreciated. Laurens, Atu.. Ii.-Nearly every time I see a Newberrian one of ny questins)11 iS. 'Who is The Idler?' Eaeh in tiurn shakes his head and says -.aDon't know." In my mind. I '-acuse" first ons and then ano:ier of the entertainment. Several per sons here have asked me the same question. As I am in the daik too I can't see a light in that direction either. Sometimes it sounds like Col. 'Blank. sometimes like Dr. Blank, sometimes like Mr. Blank. Wish I did know. As far as I can see from wihere I look, the secret is well kept. Wonder if it will be as lasting as was the secret of the authorship of the Juaius letters? The Idler has lots of fun as he goes alolni. Col. Dickert has been making some "mightv interestin" reading also in his department of The Herald and News. Those who have read it up here join me in saying that his piece on Mary Booozer was one of the fin est articles from any pen that *we have seen in years. .Some young fellow in this county has recently installed a lighting plaut for his residence and other buildings on -his premises. I bet that fellow has been traveling in Newberry coun ty in the neighborhood of Mr. Welch Wilbu,r's and ihas gained several good points there. R. H. G. SPECIAL NOTICES. I CENT A WORD.
