Mayes sent us a post card from Washington with a pic ture of the beautiful Arlington Man sion and writes: ''Bring the Civic la dies up here and they can get all the ideas they want for improvement of Newberry."

Lambert W. Jones .returned on Friday from an extended trip to Ohio and oi to Niagara Falls and into Canada. The primary object of 'Mr. Jones' trip was to attend the family reinioll of the Jonles and MAtes famu ilies, held in Ohio on August 12. Many years ago Elisha Jones. the Iwin i) rother of Mr. jne gland fatier, moved to Ohio and settled. Mr. Jones* grandfather was named Elijah Jones. Roth were natives of Newberry <-ounty, Elijah Jones re iailinr in the county of .his nativity, and EI*Sjlh going to tile West. Sone years later Elisha Jones' dauaghtei. Charity Jones, married a Motes, and hence the Motes connection. A brother of Mr. L. W. Jones' grandmother, William Miles, also moved to Ohio and settled in the same community where Elisha Jones had settled, and his descendants are also among the relatives which Mr. Jones had in Ohio. These descendants did not take an active part in the exer cises attending the reunion, however, on account of the recent death of Da vid Miles Coppock. a grandson of William Miles, which occurred on Au gust 17. At the time of his death William Miles Coppock was mayor of the town of Pleasant Hill, and al-a president of one of the banks. Most of Mr. Jones' relatives' in Ohio live in and near West Milton. Mr. Jones went direct from Newberry to West Milton. He left here on Au gust 5, and spent a week with his relatives in West Milton. The re union was held at Ludlow Park, about two miles from West Milton, the exercises being conducted in a shurch on account of threatened rain. The reunion- was largely attended, and it goes without saying that it was a very delightful affair. These re unions are held annually by the Jones and Motes families, but this was the first which Mr. L. W. Jones has attended. Several talks were made, and Mr. L. W Jones was called upon for a talk. and responded. An elegant dinner was served. Mr. Jones says the people in Ohio were very much interested in the race question in the South, and asked many questions in regard to condi tions here, which he thinks he ex plained pretty fully to them. From Ohio Mr. Jones took a trip'to Niagara before returning to Newber ry. He went from Dayton to Toledo, and thence to Detroit and Niagara by rail. On the return trip he went from* Niagara to Buffalo by .rail, and thence by boat on Lake Erie to De troit and thence to Toledo.andDayton, returning by West Milton. From West Milton he came back direct to, Newberry. Mr. Jones had a delightful trip, and enjoyed being with his reIatives in Ohio. Straight Democratic TaIk. (From the Nashville American.) Major J. F. J. Caldwell, an old-line Democrat, of Newberry, S. C., h.as written a letter publidfhed iki tle Charleston News and Courier, con taining as much horse sense as could well be compressed into small space.. As Major Caldwell says, t;he people of the South are in a perilous position, but we have too much faith in their good sense and judgment to believe that they will long remain in this conditon. There are even signs now of a break-ing up, of getting away from Bryanism and the other "isms'' which have so distracted and distu-rb ed the Democratic party for nearly twenty rears. We think we see signs of a return to reason in some States which are just now apparently beset with demagogues and plagued by un wise legislative enactmentS. It is an old saying that it is a long lane that has no turn. Even so. The turn has: been reached in the Democratic lane and from this time on the conserva-. tie, thinking men are going to come to the front. This is a Democratic section, for obvious reasons. There fore it is incumbent upon thle party to put aside the demagogues and the destructives and make our fai,r land. a land of peace, plenty, and, above all, a land wthere common sense rules, where there shall be equal rights to all men, special privileges to none. I was such a land fift.y years ago; it can be made so again. Its progress depends upon it. Notice.

In the meantime, however, an addi .tional small subseription had been sent in from this county, which, with the subscription by Messrs. Blease & Dominick, raised Newberry county's subscription to $403.50. . Mr. Blease had already contributed $25.00 to the fund, which with his half of the firm contribution, makes his subscription $35.03 1-2, making Mr. Blease the largest individual contri butor in the State. '"he State com pany was the largest contributor sub-* seribing $100. Mr. Dominick had* .eretofore subscribed $5.50, making his contribution $17.53 1-2, putting him well up in the lead.

Peter the Great's Odd Way of Puisa ing a Deserter Peter the Great, czar of Russi,. punished a traitor on a notable oe asion in a way, that the numerous victims of the present czar's wrath nit well wish were still in vogue. Mazeppa. chieftan of the Cossacks, had desterted to the king of Sweden. with whom Peter was at war. Mazep a was at once tried by court martial and found guilty of high treason. San tence of death was passed upon him. Mazeppa, however, was. safely in te camp of t:he Swedish king, but this fact was not permitted to stand in the way of carrying out of every part of the sentence. A wooden effigy of Mazeppa was made, and the punish ments were inflicted upon the Cos sack chieftain's substitute. The effigy was first dressed in Mazep pa's uniform, and upon its breasts were pinned all of the medals. ribbons and other decorations that the real culrit had worn. While the commanding general and a squardron of cavalry stood near an officer advanced to the wooden man and read the sentence. Then another officer wrenched off the effigy's patent of knighthood and this other decora tions, tore them up and trampled up on them. This done, he struck the wooden gentleman a powerful blow in the pit of the stomach, knocking bi over. Next a hangman appeared. Wbile the soldiers shouted he threw a noose over the imitation Mazeppa's head and dragged t.be effigy to a near by gallows, where it was "hanged by h neck rti it was dead.''--Scrap H. H. BLEASE, ESQ. Former Newberrian, Now of Staun ton, Va., One of the Prohibi tion Leaders of Virginia. A recent issue of the Staunton (Va.) Dispatch and News gives an account of an argument on the liquor question in Staunton, in which Mr. H. H. Blease, formerly of Newberry, took a prominent part on the side of prohibitionists. As the result of a local option elec tion recently held in Staunton, the city went dry. The wets have filed a petition asking that the election be invalidated on certain grounds. The drys demurred to the petition, and it was on this demirrer that the argu ment was had. The argument. it is stated, was opened by Mr. H. H. Blease for the drys. The Staunton paper says that "the eourt room was crowded with inter ested spectators throughout the day and at times it was impossible to get within ten feet of a door, much less o obtain entrance to the court room itself, and many stood outside and listened to the arguments through op ened windows. Apart from the great ,public interest that naturally centers in the proceedings, no such array of talent ever participated in a legal -battle in Staunton before and arrayed against each other &t the present time, for their respective clients, are some of the- most brilliant lawyers in the State of Virginia." It may be interesting to note that Mr. H. H. Blease, one of the prohi bition readers of Virginia, is.4 broth er of Mr. Cole -. Blease, of Newb r ry, who was the State dispensaY champion, and who led the figt for the old State dispensaries on the floor of* the senate into the last ditefs. SPECIAL NOTICES. I CENT A WORD.
