A. p Meeting to be Held in Chamber of C.m- b merce Rooms on Monday Evening b h A meeting of the Young Men's Chris tian association is called to meet at the rooms of the chamber of commerce 9 Monday evening, July 11, at 8.30 o'clock, for the purpose of taking b steps to arrange for a canvass to raise the money to improve the old court n house property for a home for our as- G sociation as soon as the people of n Newberry county authorize the county u officers to turn it over to us for this v purpose. The act passed at the last session of the legislature which is to A be voted on at the general election in Nobember, when passed, directs that I this property be turned over to our P association as soon as we guarantee 0: to spend not less than $15,000 in i- el provement. This was the amount it o was thought it would take to add one ti story for a dormitory, and to make all hi the inter-changes and improvements necessary to fit it up for our use, but tl since Greenville has raised $50,000; p Columbia $86,000, and Sumter $40,000 a for their buildings, we think it possible a for Newberry to get $25,000 (at least 31 $20,000) and have two additional tl stories and a property when complet- lit ed equal to that of Sumter, which is to cost them $40,000. We desire to d enrol every man in the county in our d association and to get the ladies of the county to arrange a Young Woman'st Christian association to help us secure h and improve this property and to aid h us in all departments of our work. h We expect Mr. G. C. Huntington, inter state secretary, to be present and hope tl to have another strong friend of h the Young Men's Christian association if he can arange to come. Additional information as to this meeting will be announced later. W. A. McSwain,t Rufus M. Werts, President. Secretary. Assistant Commisslonary General. s Mr. A. C.

Sheriff Buford Brings Back Ma Charged With Murder in New berry in 1904. Sheriff M. M. Buford made a quic trip to Jacksonville, Fla.. this wee and brought back with him a man a< cused of murder-whether he is tb right man or not is a question, as wi appear by reading the story. Sheriff Buford left Newberry o Monday night and returned with h man on Wednesday morning. He ha requisition papers, and in order I have them honored by the governor < Florida he would have had to go i Tallahassee, but he stopped over i Jacksonville and the man he was lool ing for consented te oome; hence quicker and cheaper trip. On October 11, 1904, Chris Porte colored, was killed on Mr. John I Hipp's pace, near the city, and Wi Simpkins, colored, was charged wil the killing. Simpkins escaped, ar Sheriff Buford has been on the lool out for him. Some months ago negro whom he had engaged to hel locate Simpkins, reported to Sheri Buford that the man was in Jacksoi ville. There was a reward of $11 outstanding for the man, and Sheri Buford told the negro in his empl< that a reward could not be paid to t. sheriff, but would go to the man wl located and was instrumental in tl i capture and conviction of a party, ai he would personally guarantee $25 the reward if the negro located hii Sheriff Buford was informed the n gro was in Jacksonville and wired the parties to hold him, having pr viously given the negro in his er ploy a letter asking the proper aut orities to arrest Simpkins. The n gro, however, when he had the mi whom he believed to be the right pa ty located, got in communication wi Sheriff Owings, of Laurens, for son reason, and asked Sheriff Owings come for the man. In the meantin Sheriff Buford had gone to Jackso: ville and he secured the man ai brought him back to Newberry ai lodged him in jail. The man arrested denies that he the man wanted, and it was stated Sheriff Buford that he had lived Florida for the past 13 years. Hoi ever, he in nearly every particular, fi the description of the man wante though a few minor details are lac] ing. He is a native of the section < the line between Edgefield and Greel wood counties, as is the negro who wanted, and both of them married woman named Mary. It is not certa Ithat he is the party wanted, and She if Buford states that many WI claimed to be his relatives in Flori< Isaid that he had been there, as state for 13 years, and if this be true, he not, of course, the right man. Shieriff Owings, of Laurens, learnt that Sheriff Buford had gone to Flo ida in time for him to save a uselet trip. It is presumed the negro er ployed by Sheriff Buford communica ed with Sheriff Owlngs for the reast that he possibly thought the $25 pe sonal guarantee of Sheriff Buford d not mean the whole reward. No othe reason can be assigned. Returned Music Students. Misses Bess and Pauline Gilder ar Miss Genevieve Evans returned fro New York yesterday, Miss Bess Gild< having been to that city on a visi Miss Genevieve Evans and Miss Pai line Gilder went to New York the la ter part of last March to pursue the studies in instrumental music at voice culture, Miss Bilder being i: structed in instrumental music by ti celebrated musician, Josefy, andi voice culture by the renowned Saeni er, and Miss Evans under the tutorshi of Ras~ w.'l:a N avid, teacher o. celebrated Jean de Riske method. The Union Depot Light. Editor The Herald and News: 12 attention has been called to the fc lowing article which appeared in TI Herald and News: "Referred to The Idler. "Alderman Baxter says tell The I< ler that council had ordered mati rial to place that lamp at union d4 pot, and the depot agent would neve tell them where they could put it. B1 that the other day the railroad ha Mayor Blease to sign an agreemez not to put a pole nearer than 35 fet of the end of the crosstles." II desire to say that the records< the city council will show that a re: olution was passed by council und4 which the agreement referred to we signed by me as mayor, and that tU agreement which was signed was accordance with the said resolution < council and it is so noted on the cor tract.
