Will Cooperate With President Childs in Handling Columbia-Atlanta Sleeper. The officials of the Seaboard Air Line have informed Secretary Haiby of the Col.mbia chamber of coin merce that the Seaboard will consent to operate a Pullman car between Co lumbia and Atlanta, in conjunction with the Columbia, Newberry & Lau rens road. which through President Childs, has already agreed to handle the car as far as Clinton. The Sea board, however, does not deem it ad visable to put on the car before Sep temnber 1. Secretary Hanby took this matter up only a few days ago and has se cured prorpt results.-Colunbia Record. The Herald and News is pleased to - know that Secretary Hamby has been isuccessful in getting the consent of the Seaboard to operate a Pullman service betwePn Columbia and At lanta. As has been stated in The ,!Herald and News a number of times, Mr. Childs, of the C., N. & L., has been ready to inaugurate this ser vice for some while, but could never get the Seaboard to agree. In the in auguration of any new service of this character it takes some time before , the people who travel learn that the cars are on and there can be no good reason in waiting until September to put the Pullman on this schedule. It t should be started at once. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor.)

COLUMBIA TO GREENTILLE. 4orning and Afternoon Trains Would be Fine if it Does Not In terfere With Schedule. The Greenville News published in its issue of Tuesday an account of a meeting held in that city. and with representatives from Laurens, Foun tain Inn, Simpsonville, and officials of the C: & W. C. railroad, at which was discussed the proposition to put a chair car on the passenger train between Greenville and Charleston and also a morning train rm Greenville to Columbia via the C. & W. C. and C., N. & L. It is stated that the officials of the C. & W. C. agreed to arrange for the morning train to Columbia and the afternoon train from Columbia. It is also stated that the chair car is a probability. The people of Newberry would be very glad to have the train from Greenville to Columbia and from Co lumbia to Greenville, but it is hoped that if such an arrangement is made that it will not interfere with the train which President Childs is now operating from Laurens to Columbia and which passes Newberry .at 8.47 in the morning. This is a very im nortant train for Newberry, and in fact for the entire .'avel between Laurens and Columbia, and has been operated so long that it has become a fixed schedule on this road and is well patronized and a very conven ient train. If the officers of the C. & W. C. and C., N. & L. can arrange to have this train extended to Greenville, without interfering with its present schedule, Newbeiry would be very glad, but it is hoped that President Childs will not agree to any arrange ment that makes any material changes in the schedule of the train. As stated sometime ago The Her ald and the people of Newberry are expecting the Seaboard to agree with Mr. Childs and operate a sleeper on the train between Columbia and At lanta. As to the chair car it was stated sometime ago that it had been decid ed to operate this car on the Coast Line between Colambia and Charles ton, and that it could not be operated on the 0., N. & L. with the present equipment without materially inter fering with the schedule. ** * * U * * * * * * * * . * SOCIAL. * * * * * * * * * * * * -* Miss Mary Brooks Dennis delight fully entertained the "V. Q." club Tuesday evening. After a short busi ness meeting, the young folk adjourn ed to the spacious verandas which were most attractive on this night. Here settees and rockers had been in vitingly placed among the pot plants. The entire porch was bordered with Japanese lanterns and was truly a beautiful sight and an ideal place to spend a summer evening. After sev eral hours of progressive games a re freshing ice course was served. Sev eral selections on piano and violin added to the pleasure of the evening. This meeting of the club proved such a pleasant one that it was almost midnight before the merry party ad,. journeds Wednesday morning was eloudY and damp but that in no way damp ened the spirit of the merry matrons and ma1ids who gathered at the home of Mrs. John M. Kinard. This was the time for the meeting of the Emery Sewing Circle, but on this occasion sewing was laid aside and a number. of visitors had been invited to join. the club members in spending a pleas-: ant morning in. social chat. Quanti ties of nasturtiums made the parlor and hall very bright and attractive. The feature of the morning was a magazine contest which proved quite interesting and exciting. Several of those present proved themselves fa miliar with the names of the Ameri an magazines ;and skillful in recog nizing these names when disguised. n the Cut, Miss Rook Simmons was lucky and was rewarded with a pret y bunch of nasturtiums which she gracefully presented to Miss Marie Watson, an attractive visitor from reenville. At .noon a most appetizing three ourse luncheon was served the guests by Miss Margaret McIntosh nd Master John Kinard. Mrs. Kinard is noted for her gra ious hospitality and on Wednesday orning about 25 ladies e'njoyed her elightful luncneon. The social meeting of the Baptist aid society will be held Friday after noon with Mrs. Jno. M. Kinard. Very low excursion rates will be on. sale July 2, 3 and 4, limited return ing until July 8 between all stations n the Seaboard Air Line.

Price. of the West End ball tam. has arrangc-d a sche- t dule of games with some of the best:l ama:eur aggregations in this section. d and for the next week will give the, r local lovers of the sport all that they I are looking for along this line. The d Newberrians, with eight games play ed. and a percentage of 1000. have I already clearly demonstrated that I they are not to be lightly considered'a in these contests, and all the other N teams of the State are making mighty afforts to bring them down from the t top of the ladder. The question among the teams now seems to be. "Who I will be the first to wallop West End?"' And to the end of answering thp t question in its favor, each team will t use every legitimate means. On Saturday, Jlily 2, the Lydia team, of Clinton, will come to New berry for the concluding game of their series, having taken on many reinforcements since their defeat at the hands of West End in Clinton last week. Bailey, who is considered one, of the best amateur pitchers in the State, will twirl for Clinton, while Waldrop,- the ex-Clemsonite, will be on the slab for Newberry. The garae wil be played on the West End dia mond. and will be called at 4 o'clock. The teams will line-up as follows: Lydia: Young, c.;Davis, p.; Barks dale, lb.; Jacks, 2b.; McMinus, 3b.; Rhoden, ss.; Barksdale, If.; Wofford, cf.; Ballew, rf. West End: McCall, c.; Waldrop, p.; I Smith, 1b.; Garlington, 2b.; Boozer, R., 3b.; Wessinger, ss.; Boozer, D., If.; Wicker, cf.; Bouknight, rf. Ninety Six will come to Newberry for one game on the Fourth, and will use the fo'owling line-up: Faulkner, c.; McDowell, p.; Sherard, 1b.; Town send, 2b.; Nichols, 3b.; Sh'arard, ss.; Calhopn, If.; Andrews, ef.; Pratt, rf. ] Eidson, the crack college twirler, will ,be in the box for West End on this occasion. This game will also be pull ed off on the West End grounds, and will be called at 5 o'clock sharp. On July 7 the Augusta, Ga., Ama teurs will come here for three games. Thursday. Friday and Saturday after noons. The first two games will be~ played at College park, and the con cluding game of the series at West End. Jones, the fast second baseman of the West End team, who was serious-! ly injured in the game with Lidia Saturday, will probably be unable to play again this season, but his posi tion will be ably filled by Chris. Gar lington. Jones is getting along as well as could be expected, but 'will be confined to his room for several weeks yet. Death of Mr. Randall Johnstone. Mr. Randall Gaillard Johnstone died yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, at his home in this city, of heart dis ease in the 66th year of his age. He was- confined to his bed only since Monday, although having been in failing health since a very severe at tack of pneumonia last winter, which cin'e near proving fatal, He was the' eldest child of the late lanienited Sil-i se Johnstone, and is survived by fcuir brother-Dr, Albert P. Johnstone. of Ancaroni j Mf Paul Johnstone, of of Newberry, and PI'f0 irr H. Johnug stone, of Clemson-and 0b4 ~i M r; f Miss Sallie Johnstone, of Newb3ody. The deceased was unmarried and n.7 I er sought public favor, but he served all through the war from the b egn i.mg, all of his service having been in Virginia. He was faithful to his comn mand, remaining at his post of duty, leaving on furlough on two occasoins only, having been twice wounded in~ battle. He was a brave soldier, andi in private life was the same brav& an, one of the kind who woul die ' in his tracks before telling a fu.se hood or doing any wrong, even to say ing his own life. Truly a man who ever stood ready to lay down his life for another. Because of his modest and retiring disposition the public at' large did not know the nobleness of heart and the greatness of character f Randall Johnstone. His reserved ife kept him at home, which h-e loved. e was a great reader and kept well informed. Those who knew him in: imately prized his friendship because t was golden and valuable. He was .devoted brother and will be missed !rom the home. The sympathies of - 01 are extended the bereaved ones In Lheir great loss. Interment will be at the Johnstone tl ~amily burial ground this afternoonh t 6 o'clock, service by the Rev. 3. E. Ji James. H On the Installment Plan. "How much are eggs now?'"
