Sheriff Buford went to Greenville iast Thursday and arrested Craig Gary, colored, who was wanted by the authorities here for misdemeanor. There was an account in a recent issue of the Laurensville Herald of ran airship having passed over a sec tion of Laurens <-ounty. As the paper was published on the first day of April it may have been an April fool. Sheriff Buford went to the Old Town neighborhood to investigate the Saturday midnight burning of Miller eh.urch and school house, colored. He hadJn't returned at the time of go ing to press, as he is absent on other business also. * The reception committee on the en tertainment of the Baraea-Philathea union desires to express their appre ciation to Messrs.

Mr. W. D. Hardy sent Constable Wil liams word of the said violation of law, which enabled the officer to make the arrest. If all the citizens were so prompt as Mr. Hardy, Mr. Wil liams could do more work, as h stands ready to do, and the county >wutld be the better off. County Supervisor Feagle says that The Herakt and News was misiform ''dhby the Chappells man who report ed the presence of Jim Anderson, ~haingang coonviet, in the Chappelis ommnity. He feels. tihat an injus tice has been done him by such a~ misleading report. Anderson was al lowed on one occasion to visit his siek mother. He is kept guarded along with the other conviets. Guard Mil * 1er corroborates this. When that meteor fell in Gaffney -the other night with blinding flashes and awful report, ifb great erash making a whole in the ground over si.x feet deep and between fifteen and~ twenty feet round, shaking house3 for a distance of two miles, loosen ing glasses in the windows and arons ing and frightening the whole neigh borhood, you know it was natural' for some of the people to think that E[alley's comet had something to do with it.

K .rd peint .MR V.: of the Commercial bank, of Newber ry, was elected vice-president of the State association. Mr. Kinard has been an active~ member of the State association for' several years and served with ability as chairman of the executive com mittee and the association has recog nized his ability and merit by pro moting him to the office of vice-presi dent which is in line for the presi dency. Saw Old Friends. While in Greenville on business one day last week Sheriff Bu.ford saw several of his old friends, with w'hom he enjoyed pleasan-t conversations, although finding One or two of them in sad circumstancees. They are na tives of New:berry, but have been living in Greenville for a number of years. He 'found Mr. Win. Kelly, who is 84 years old, helpless in, bed. Mr. Kelly's church, and the .eamp of I reterans in Greenville give him aid,I a he was a gallant soldier, going to the war from Newberry and serving in Company B, first South Carolina .olunteers. Mr. Buford al.so found in the same house another helpless' mfferer in the person of Mr. Kelly's 90-year-old sister, who, like - her brother, is broken in health and veighted with the infirmities of old age and poverty and want. She is uffering too from a dislocated hip. 'here is another sister with them who is sixty years old, but ble to fbe of service in the house. 'here would probably not be so much ~rubliug and complaining among well people at little annoyane'es and. inconveniences if they could be >roughit in contact with misery and oe. At least there ought not to be. What a comfort, what a luxury it woud be to the feeble old woman of )0 and the poor old man of 84 to >e able .to sit in easy chairs and drink n the sunshine, beauty and music of the outer world, blessings which so any in health and strength do not retu:rn thanks for. As you walk the treets and hear and see, free of pain, de thankful and think with pity and harity of those who, like the tw.o >d persons in Greenville, are depriv ad of so much that makes life worth iving. _ _ Capt. Buford saw also another old eteran from Newberry iiving in -reenville, Mr. John W. Riser, and still another ex-Newberrian. Ned Brown, who wasn't old enough to get into the ane of a veteran. CORN GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. Call to Form One in This 'County All Interested Asked to Meet in Court House Saturday. Mr. S. M. Duncan, the eounty agent for the 'demonstration work of the generaR goverimentt, has re ceived the following letter from Mr. Williams, State agent. Owing to sick ness Mr. Duncan has not before tak en this matter up, but now desires that it be stated that a meeting of the' corn growers of this county, who are interested, he held at the court hcuse in Newb-erry on Saturday, April 16, at-11 o'clock. This call, as will be seen, is not only to the corn growers, but to everybody who is interested in grow-! ing corn which is the prosperity of this section of the country. There should be a full attend-ance at this meeting and a large organization ef fected. Everybody is interested in the prosperity of the county and the growing of corn is the way to bring prosperity. Columbia, S. C., March 25, 1910. My Dear Sir: I think it would. be wei for you tb call a meeting of the citizens of your county, as many as you think would take an active interest in the mat ter, and organize what would be known as a county corn growers' as sociation. This could be con-posed of farmers, merchants, bankers and every man who is interested in grow ing more and better corn in South Carolina. If we grow corn we pro tet the price of cotton, make the farmer inidependent. By growing corn! intelligently it makes for the farmer one of the most profitable farm crops. Should we increase our pros duction as we should we could in a very short period of time stop tht importation into our State of any corn whatever, and all other things will be adided. I am going to ask you then to set apart the first Saturday in April to organize this association in every county in this State in which we work. The association need not hold more than one or two meetings a year and need not be composed of over one 'dozen men, at least this arrange ment would be sucets4ful. You should elect a president and secre tary and t'he object of the association should be to aid in every way to pro mote the growth of corn in South Carovlina.. Very truly -yours, (Signed) Ira W. Williams, State Agent. NEWBERRY COLLEGE. Resident Alumim Meet to Discuss Matters Pertaining to College Another Meeting Monday. A meeting of the resident alumni of Newberry college was called for a! few days ago in the rooms of the chamber of commerce. The .purpose of the meeting was to consider matters pertaining to the college and to dis cuss the program for tihe alumni at the approaching commencement. There are now in Newberry about seventy-five resid'ent alumni of . the college. This meeting was not wel attende'd. Another meeting was called for next Monday afternoon at the same plaice. These seventy-flvd men ankl& women living in the town of Newber ry, if they would get together, could do a great deal not only for th col lege but ifor the community, and it is hoped that every one of them will be present at the meeting which is call ed for next Monday. A proposition was submitted at the meeting last week to provide some sort of entertainment for the visit ing alumni during commencement. A committee to report at the next meet ing was appointed to look into this matter and report. . There are now about four hun dred alumni of Newberry college. If these four hundred could be induced to make a united effort they could ac complish great things for their alma mater. T.he local alumni hope to have a majority present at the commence ment. An Incendiary Fire. 'There was a midnight burning Sat urday night just beyond Old Town.! Miller's church and school house, colored, were completely destroyed by a fire there can bhe no doubt was ofI incendiary origin, as it started under the chureh building near the pulpit.' Miller chureh was formerly Baptist, until very recently it passed into the hands of the Methodists by changes ir' denominations. It seems that there has been much confusion and fric tion between some of the colored religous bodies in that section. mr-=o- pAL DAY. Committees Named to Make Arrange metnts for Proper Obser vance.

Sligh was a delegate Sfrom Newberry to the convention of <-lub women in Charleston last week. Under th-e head of Echoes of the 'Convention, the News and Courier says: "Newberry's 'delegate painted a~ *wr picture on Charleston, which hangs on the wall of many a Char Ilestonian's heart, framed in apprecia tion and frie.e dship.'' The 0O'Neall school in No. 9 town ship, taught by Prof. T. M. Mills and Miss Sallie Puge, will close on Sat-. urday, April 23, and as is the custom with this sehool there will 'be exer cises .by the children and an, ad'dress in the afternoon by some invited speaker.I IThis is one of the best schools in the county, in one of the best com munities in the State and these an nual 'exercises are always enjoyed. St. Luke's Episcopal Church. There wa's no morning ser'vice at ISt. Luke's Su,t>ay. At 6 o'clock evening prayer was read by Rev. C. P. Parker, assisted by Rev. H. W. K. Pe'ndleton, of Spartanburg, who has been prevented from visiting Newberry according to appointmenr, twice recently by reason of death in 'his parish. Mr. Pendleton celebrated holy compaunion a,nd preached. His seirmon was a beautiful and toueh ing one on Paul's noble and sublime 'utterance, "The Love of Christ Con straineth Me.'' The power. of the Apostle's words was made deeply im pressive by the eloquent simpliety of the discourse and the tenderness of maniner of the 'speaker, to who~m all hearts were drawn in Christian love.
