RIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. 'Newberry held a high hand in the great gathering of Red Men and Daughters of Pjoahontas in Coium ~bia this week. Rev. J. S. MofEa.tt, D. D., president of Erskine college, will preach at the A. R. P. e.hiurch next, Sunday morn ing and night at the usual hours. The ma.tter of rain is becoming a serious question with the .farmers. Cot ton' has to be planted. Small grain is heading too close to the ground. The Bachelor Maids will have a white sale oif Saturday, April 16th, in the vacant store next door to .Ajn derson's Ten 10ant Comspany. A hu=in- .ss meeting will 'be held at the same place at 10 o'clock' Saturda.y. Charged with the burning of Miller hureh and school house, near Old Tlown, in the midnight fire reported * *.iin Tuesday's pa.pers, William Spear man, Sr., colored, has been lodged in jail. People in attendanee upon the re <ent big meeting of Red Men in Co 'umbia say that Mayor Cole L. Blease made the finest speech of his life on 'hat ,occason. Among the niany things handed New-berry this week in Columubia was one of the appointive officers in the State Council of Im.prove.d Oi'der of Red Men, which was given Mr. Can noun G. Blease as great mishenewa. The regular alternate Suinday lay reading serviee at St. Luke's Epis ,eopal church 'will be conducted next rSunday morning at 11 o'clock by . Maj. J. F. J. Caldwell. A subscriber and friend says if the ome's ailaccptsthe invit'a gtion to sweep the sidewalks he doesnrt want to be in town at that dtiane. ?Arrangements are concluding for thy taking of the census, beginining on the 15th instamit, today. About 68,000 men are employed to take this 13th eensus of the United States. Tihe Clinton correspond&ent of the Laarens Advertiser says that Mr. "Fleetwood Lannean, of Newbrry,'' among others, was in a week-end par -ty entertained by a young lady of Clinton. The citize3s ought to encourage the cornet band in having open air .encrt on the public square at stated times. This idea is suggested by a live young business citizen, and it is a good one. A. R. Dorroh, son of Mr. J. Henry Dorroh, living in No.. 6 township, was kicked by a mule Tuesday. Young Dorroh had his nose broken, the blow cutting through to the orbit of the mouth. On next Sunday morning collection will be taken in all of the Episcopal churches for the Bishop Capers me morial. It is hoped the offering in each church of the docese will be liberal. The Jenkins Orphanage, colored, band, of Charleston, touring in the interest of"that institution, gave a aoncert in Newberry Wednesday night. It is said to have been well attended and that the music was ;od. The long dry spell in Newberry was >roken by a gentle April shower ruesday afternoon, followed by a >etter one at midnight. The dust was aid low, as the rain settled it for , while. Little drops of water, lit le speeks of dust, make a big com otion when they meet and bust. Among the attractions attracting the attention of the B-P delegates and visitors was the handsome new court house. A bevy of young and comely Philatheas were observed ex ami-ning the interior of the building, and they spoke volumes with their eyes and mouths. During rock blasting near the knitting mill Wednesday morning a water main was hit by one of the pieces and broken. The water skeet ed high and a large quantity was wasted before the main could be mended. It flooded the ground and spread like a pond for a while. Some people are complaining that the rain was not generous enough with its showers. Of course a more bountifui supply would be accepta 1ble, and thankfully received, but the laying of the dust only for three days ought to be fully appreciated. However, the rain is very much need ed: A party of fishermen, so-called Messrs. H. H. Franklin, C. B. Mar tin, G. M. B. Epting, Bob Lominick ad Rube Boozer-went ten miles to the .Saluda river Tuesday afternoon, returning Wednesday morning. They spent Tuesday night at the river try ing their luck, sometimes in thirty feet water, so onenoum said. To the about 500 set hooks~ they caught something like 30 fishes. Some of the men in the party are good fisher men, but the best of fishermen can not always catch fish. -Another young Newhberrian will go to a distant State for his bride. Mr. Chas. P. Pelham is due at Monroe, La.. on the 27th inst. for that pur pose. When a popular person ar ranges to get married everybody is interested and pleased. The men and women of Newberry haven't forgot ten the friendly little Charley Pel ham of a few years ago. They, and all of his young friends, will go with him in spirit to the Liuoinsa fli ?-e him in spirit to the Louisiana land on his happy mission. It is to be hoped that council may soon succeed in getting those new horses for the fire department, so that there will be one of the pair now on hand for the new light one horse racing hose wagon which has been bought by the Excelsior Hose Co. No. 1, and which has just ar rived. The company .paid for it, but council is to furnish the horse. The wagon will be put to service and the members will soon begin: practiee for the firemen's tournamen>t, which will be held in Sumter some time in June. Success has crowned the efforts of the hostesses for the twelfth conven tion of the federation, and Charles ton has scored a triumph in the 'smooth pro;cedure of the excellent iprogramn. It gave the federation keen pleasure to have three ex-presi dents of the federation present: Miss L. B. Poppenheim, of Chiarlestoh; Mrs. W. K. Sligh, of Newberry, and Mrs. A. F. McKissiek, of Greenwood, being amrong the visitors--From the News and Courier's report of the recent meeting in Charleston of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Under date of April 9 the News and Courier's Washington corre spondent says: "It is learned since the nomination of Mr. Puireell to be postmaster at Newberry was sent to the senate a few days ago, that there wsnever any fight on him, and that the postoffice deparment intended all l long to give him another appoint Iment. It is said here that he has an ~excellent record, as his recent nomination for another term indi Yates." The Herald and News knew this all the time and said so. Well, P~urell has been confirmed as post master for another term of four GRXAT SACH M KIBTT.MR. Mr. 0. Klettner Promoted by Red Men to Head of Order-Good Selection.

In placing Mr. Klettner at the head of .their order in this State they have honored themselves. This is a de served promotion and gives pleasure to Mr. Klettner's numerous friends.

Wedneslday, the 13th of April, was the 49th ainiversary of the evacua tion of Fort Sumter, and also the 49th anniversary of the departure from Newberry of the four companies from this country, which made up in part the famous third regiment. When thes- companies left Newberry they swera bound for Charleston to assist in the defense of Fort Sumter, but on arrival in Columbia it was learned that Sumter had surrendered and, therefore. the companies remained in and around Columbia, until they wei e ordered to Virginia. The four Newberry companies were: Company B. S. N. Davidson, captain; Company ,C, R. Clayton Maf ciptai-::-: Company C, Clayton Maf fett, 3aptain, and Company , J. C. S. Brown, captain. Ths thi!ri regiment hald in addition to these fenr companies, five from Laurens, on frcm Spartat:1burg, one from Un ion, one from Dutch Fork, made up o Y( wberry and Lexington, with Drury Nunamaker as captain.

Bishop Guerry Visits Newberry Preaches and Administers the Rite of Confirmation.. The Rt. Rev. Wm. A. Guerry, Bishop of South Carolina, visited this parish Wednesday afteFnoon. The >beautiful rite of confration as set forth in the Episcopal form was im pessively aditinistered by the bish op at St. Luke's church during the evening service. In the a*ternoon at 4:30 he preach ed at the colored Episcopal ahurch and confirmed one person. Bishop Guerry stands without a superior as a pulpit orator. He has all the gifts, and graces of the finish ed spasker. Of magnetie presence and tender demeanor, he impresses his hearers as being one who prae tices what he preaches. The fire of his fervor and real is softened by the halo of his humili'ty and love. IHe eonkine4 Ikrning and know ledge with wisdom and common senise, a combination no, by aniy means universd1 in its applicaitien to mnof any profession. Bishop! G3uerry is a man to love. Gentle as! a woman in sorro~w anzd grief, he is y et firm as a strong man set to run the race,. a warrior ready for the fight, a true soldier of the eross, whose :battle cry is: "Onwand Christian Soldier!'' A powerful preachrer, his language proclaims him first a fol lower of "the meek and lowly Jesus,'' a disciple of that One who was born i; obscurity and reared in poverty. Although a faithful and most earnest advocate of the cardi ual points of the Episcopal charch, and defender af the faith once deliv-! ered to the sai:ts, Bishop Guerry is, nevertheless broad-minded to a most marked degree, possessing the spirit of Catholicism in its widest and tru est sense, a ad earnestly desiring and working for Christian unity among the great religious bodies. He preach es the gospel of brotherly.love, ign'or ing petty jealousies, scorning narrow bigotry and brushing aside carping and evil fault-finding. Devoid of, all "envy, hati-ed and malice, and all uneha.ritableness,'' and praying for the delivery of all therefrom, the bishop seeks to win souls for the 'Ibette.r way by the leadingangid ing of the hand of love to the place' of beauty and rest, as a good shep herd leads his sheep, rather than by trying to drive men against their will. Bishop Guerry '3 sermon Wednes day night was a masterful presenta tion of the subject he had chosen from the 29th verse of the 20th cinapter of St. John: "Jesus sa. unto him, Thomas, because thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seeni, and yet have believed.''" A hurried newspaper synopsis would mar the b.eauty and weaken the strength of the sermon. At the conclusion of the sermon: the rite of confirmation was administer ed to two ladies. In the morning of Thursday, at' 10:30 o'clock, the bishop performed the ceremony of infa'at .baptism at the home of one of the memibers. While in the city Bishop Guerry was the guest of Mrs. 0. McR. Hol mes. He has many friends in New berry, who are always glad to see him. Colony Church. Dr. Geo. B. Cromer will address the men and Miss Gertrude Simpson the: women Sunday morning, .April 17.
