Death is at all times sad, but par icularly so when a strong man is addenly snatched from his useful ess in a -community and his place 1 the 'home circle. It was with deep egret that the news of Mr. Suber 's ata.1 attack was heard by the gen ral public and it is with geinuine >rrow that they learn of his death. 'he bereaved ones haave the sympathy f all in their affliction. Mr. Suber 'as the youngest of a large family f brothers and sisters and is the ist to leave us. He was kind hear't i and generous, a true friend. About HaPey's Great Comet. 'The comet will be nearst the earth, 2000,000 miles, on May 17.

The next game of base ball on the college diamond will ,be played on Friday, April 8, between the college! team an;d the Anderson professional club. The Anderson club is compos ed chiefly o.f college players and there is no reason why the college can't give them a good game, or, perhaps, run. a score or two ahead. Our men field well, hit well and we have an excellent college battery and if we gt eevrything that comes our way (and we could do it) the pro fessional .0ub won't have a thing on us. So why can't we beat them? This game was arranged for the ben efit of those who don't often get to see a profesonal club work and we want everybody to get the benefit .f !he arrangEment, so come out a:.d we will show you that you have a team that you are proud of. If we don't win on Friday doi'oi get discoaraged for we play them a second game on Saturday and we are bound to have one of the two. The game on Friday will be called at 3.30 p. m., and will be over in time for I any who may wish to attend the Ba- I raea-Philathea exercises at 5 o'clock. 1 We will call this game promptly at 3.30. The next game after this will ba with Charleston college on April 11. The boys from the Battery lhave al ways given us a nice gamne, and we are proud to say that there has been several games played between us without a single kiek from either side. Now there is nothing better to: look,at th:an a game of ball like that and that is the kind of a game you will see Mon;day if you come out. Everybody takes what he gets and doesn't give anything to anybody. else that he wouldn't want. Forest Fires. Wednesday was a windy day and it is not surprising that there were fires. They occurred in various see tions of the county, some of which have been reported to us. On Brown and M6seley's place, some six or eight acres of pines were run over by ,blazes which destroyed the straw belonging to Mr. John Cousins, Sr., but not seriously dam aging the woods, although Mr. Cous ins says he wouldn't have had it happen for a hundred dollars. How ever, the neighbors fought the fire! and put it' out, working hard, thus preventing a fire which would other wise have caused considerable dam age. Oni Annie 0. and W. E. Ruff's plan tatio.n a lot of fine timber was de stroyed. The fire came near burning up $250 worth of lumber. Mr. W. Ham Bobb lost about a hurndred dollars' worth of cord wood by a fire on.his place. Mr. Jno. C. Hipp lost about twenty five cords of wood on his pla ce some six miles south of Newberry.' Smoke was seen in other directions and no doubt there were other fires. A Negro Drops Dead. Coroner W. E. Felker got, word Tuesday that a colored man had dropped dead in a field near Silver Street. He went to the place and after a thorough investigation of all the circustances in connection with the su.dden death, and being con vinced -that there was no necessity for the expenses of an inquest to be incurred, he pronounced .the death to have oceurred from natural causes. The circumstances were these: Mack Burton, while at work in Mr. John Hendrix 's field, saw a dog after .a rabbit. He joined in the chase and ran about a hundred and fifty yards, -when he returned to resume 'his corn planting. "Thinking to take a short rest after his violent run he went to sit on the wagon tongue, falling dead while in the acting of taking a seat. He was about 45 years old.

The regular meeting of eity coun cil was held on Tuesday evening. Ow ing to the absence of Aldermen Can non and Rodelsperger only routine t matters were transaoted. Among , other things it was decided to put a light in Johmstone street between the residences of Mr. H. C. Holloway . and Mr. F. L. Bynum. Other mat- t ters of importance were deferred to another meeting when there may be , a full council. -t A Protest. Editor Herald and Hews: One of Solomon's observations was that that there is nothing nev under the sun. We are about to have a novel sight so far as this section of the country is concerned. The public print informs us that a ''SudIay train" is to be run to Newberry -next Sabbath upon request of the people who axe promoting the Baraza-Phila thea convention. To me this seems not only novel but idiangerous. And while it is out of the church 'of which I am per mitted to be a member, I feel called upon to express my disapprval of running a "Sunday train'" to a re ligious meeting. Possibly it would not amount to much but if I had op- V portunity I would advise every mem ber of the congregations with which I am connnected to condemn such ai proceeding by staying away from the" convention. This would in no way s detract from the greatnes3 of the 9 convention but it would at least let men know where we- stand. Can wej not most honor God by honoring his i F commands.

That day and night Jake Baldwin ossed about on a bed of pain, like ,n old ship on a storm swept sea. lis trouble had been a severe frae ure of the knee, but the good old ountry physician- placed. it in band ,ges and straps, and expressed him elf quite ieonfdently that "Jake rould be up and a-bout in a weak or wo." Cage was in more mental pain, E possible, than his young master vas in physicial. Jake had taken he most bitter medicine in ramorse ad rocking pain, while Cage's was -et to come. That night he was part y delirious, had fevered dreams, his aind wandering far away at times. Tow he was with Cage on the en hanted island, as it seemed to him, ancing around the campfire, sur ounded in its symphony of green and old, the green of the island foliage, he gold the rippling stream, with the aoon's reflected rays. Then again e would see myriads patrolers, cir ling the camp like an army of wild torsemen. Then his fevered brain ould revert to the scenes of revelry, t odd fiddler Bob's and he would iugh in childish glee, at some imag aary happening. 'Shove your bow, juele Bob,' shove your bow. . Come .own on' the home stretch, Elick," he rould call out. Thus .the ~9iTET' were away, his other coming up during the night, at to sympathize with him though, he was too wrought up over the dis race of her son being caught by patterolers at a negro hoe down." he chided him with such soothing ex ressions as ''Sermed you right, if it ,asn't for the disgrace I would not are the wrapping's of a finger. Just e what you get by being led by that rorthless nigger. I do wish he would e sold to the speculators and sent the far country. Just as I always pected. This is one time you ought > be ashamed for your family, if not or yourself." .Such words are real-. ' comforting to a man who has done rrong and feels it far more bitterly aan those who are animedverting up n the crime. This ill time consola on, coming at a time too, when ~a ian is conscience-stricken and peni nt over some folly or indiscretion at is now unrecallable, is heaping ed hot coals upon his head. Near day break, 'while the moon ras sheddi.ng its -full glory through de open window, its silvery rays fall 2g upon the face of Jake, he fell in > a fitful sleep. But by his many unting jaunts, and runaway life, his. earing had become almost preter atually acute. Asleep as he was he ad a kind of subonsciousness of ome one being in the room, and to be hail, ''Who is there." ''Me, arse Jake, how you feel," came rom Cage. He 'had stealthily crept p stairs into Jake's room. At the and of Cage's voice, mild temper d and forgiving als he usually was, ake Baldwin was instantly seized rith a violent nage. He charged Cage ith 'being the author of all his coubes and pain, by this lurid pic res of runaway life, and he hated im for it. Cage began talking in a rrowing tone, tied to sooth the con iting emotions that were raging in is young master's breast, and the nger soon -passed away. They both :on 'began to talk in their old time onfidential manner. Jake expressed reat remorse 'at being the real cul nrt of the foolish 'episode, one he uld so easily have prevented, and ow Cage must be violently punished or his folly.
