Al Interests Have United Upon Mr. Hunt as the Man Who Can Carry It Forward. Col. W. H. Hunt is being urged to accept the presidency of the propos ed third cotton mill for Newberry, and while it would mean a financial 3acrifice on his part for a considera ble while, At least, it is believed that he will heed the unanimous call of those who are interested in the enter prise, and who have shown their faith in it and in Newberry by taking large blocks of stock. Col. Hunt is one of the leading members of the legal profession in South Carolina, and his firm has a large and lucrative practice. When the matter of a third mill for Newbgr ry was being agitated he was select ed as the man to carry the project through. At that time Col. Hunt felt that the press of business upon his time was such that he could not take hold of the project. Several times af ter that the matter was brought to his attention, and, seeing the need and the field for 'a third mill here, and the unanimity of the people of New berry in their desire for a third mill, be took hold of the matter, and in a remarkably short time the stock nec essary to assure the success of the mill was subscribed. The business interests of the community were un ited on this enterprise, and the unani mity -of action which was displayed has been a great help to the city, ov er and above the material results which will follow the building of the third mill. Increased subscriptions ince have confirmed these assur ances of success, and the third mill lor Newberry is a certainty. The building of the mill being as 5ured, the matter of a man to be placed in charge was the next ques :ion. Upon this question, as upon all .he others in connection with the >uilding of this third mill, the people >f Newberry were united. Col. Hunt was looked upon as the man. No definite statement has been giv an out by those in chiarge, but the ~all has been made, and it is not be ieved that Col. Hunt will decline, al hough, is stated, it must involve a nancial sacrifice on his part for a ~onsiderable time. Col. Hunt is the senior member of he law firm of Hunt, Hunt & Hun er, who have one of the largest and ost lucrative practices in this sec :ion of South Carolina. Col. Hunt has held a number of :ourts as special judge, and the com endation of the local bars where he as held these courts and the records >f the supreme court evidence his egal training and ability. As a >usiness man, he has been success 1l, in every enterprise which he has mdertaken, and no better selection ~ould be made for president of the :hrd cotton mill for Newberry-the 'city that does things." Church of the Redeemer. Rev. Edwaird Fulenwider, pastor. Nothi -preventing, the following yrogram of divine services will be b ~erved at the Lutheran Church of the edeemer next Sunday. 11 a. m. The regular morning ser ice with a sermon 'by the pastor on he subject, "The fate of six hundred housand men.-A warning." There s nothing so sad as the picture of a alen human being. When the Son >f God stood weeping over Jerusalem t was not the ruined city that so ouched his great heart, but the fate i- thousands of men and women who iad neglected their opportunities. To lay the world is full of poeple who ave fallen, who are falling, and who nay fall. Of the six hundred and hree thousand five hundred and fifty nen who were able to bear arms, and vho eft Egypt, and saw the great ower of God in the desert, only two1 eached the Promised Land. The ermon will be an attempt to answer, he questions, 'Why do so many fall?' od, 'What are the ways of escape?' hese will make the message very ractical and important. 5 p. m. Sunday school meets. Par mnts are requested to bring their ~hildren. Classes for all. A cordial Invitation to all the ser-1 'ices is extended the public. Worthy the High Position. Hon. Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, s one of the announced - candidates or governor who will prove a strong nan to defeat. He is one of the best posted men in the State; he is brainy ad is a leader among men of influ ance and high repute, and the News eels certain he will win. Mr. Blease is in every sense of the word worthy the high and honorable 'position 'it.O whic heaspnires to fill.-Colleton BLEASEIS EUEEKAS WIN. A Goose Egg Handed West End Ag- ] gregation-Price's Pets Failed to Make Good. West End failed to convince local fandom-and themselves-that there 1 is nothing to the "thirteen hoodoo,"1 when they failed to defeat Blease's Eurekas on the college diamond Wed nesday afternoon. The West End ag-I gregation, with its State-wide repu-I tation as the fastest amateur ball team within the borders of Southl Carolina, went into this game with ai full determination to make their vic tories for the season 13, 12 other teams having previously gone down in defeat before them. Only a few days ago the Augusta aggregation took it upon themselves to break the winning streak of the West Enders, making the latter bite the dust for the first time this season. Some of the more superstitious ones at once gave the credit for the game to the "thir teen hoodoo," and it was to prove to the aforesaid superstitious folk that there was nothing to this "funny business" that a game was arranged between West End and Blease's Eu rekas, the latter a picked team of the city, under the management of Mr. Cannon G. Blease. 0 But, sad to relate, Price's Pets could not nfake good their argument that the 13th victory is as easy to!1 land as the other 12, the Eurekas out arguing them to the tune of 8 to 0. Perhaps the best explanation of the whole affair can be found in the fact that it was an ".off day" for West End -and the added fact that Blease's Eurekas were by no means a slow set of ball players. As a matter of fact, the picked team was composed of some of the best material that could be secured in and around this burg and they proved it in Wednesday's game. The game was a benefit for Sam Jones, the second sacker for West! End, who was seriously injured in a game several weeks ago, and a neat sum was realized for that popular player. Umpire Hardeman, who has become the "official umpire" for all games played in Newberry, handled the indicator on this occasion, and as usual, his decisions met with the hearty approval of all parties con cerned. Huff and Eidson, both college pitch ers, opposed each other in this game, and there was nothing short about the work of either, but Huff had the better of the argument, as will be seen by* reference to the score. McCall, for West End, caught a fine game, and his throwing runners out at second1 was a feature of the game. H uff was given good support by his team mates, the Eurekas putting up an errorless game, while Eidson was not quite so fortunate at times. But, have you ever tried to play ball with a "hoo doo" perched upon every ball that is thrown and hit? Well-there-.is no telling what the result might have been had this been the 13th game for the Eurekas! Score: R H E Eurekas. . . .010 401 02*-8 11 0 i West End. . .000 000 000-0 4 3 J. Huff and W. Huff; Eidson and McCall. It is probable that the West End Invincibles will arrange other games1 the remainder of the season-and the next game that hoodoo, which has been hanging around for the past ten days, will be known no more.

Great Downpour in Newberry on Monday Evening.-Seott's Creek Was Raging. One of the hardest rains in Ne'V berry in a long number of years fell on Monday evening. The rain was between six and seven o'clock, and for about thirty minutes it seemed that the clouds had bursted and that all the rain was trying to fall at once. Scott's creek was over all the bridges, and the bridge between the Werber place and the college, in Calhoun street, was washed away, going down the stream and some of the timbers landing at the railroad trestles. In College, Caldwell and Nance streets the stream was over the bridg es, and the "bottoms", near the rail road, were flooded, the water being in some of the houses and in the yards of most of the houses in that settle ment. Considerable damage throughout the county was done by the rain. This story is told in another column of this issue of The Herald and News, along with an estinate of crop conditions. About ten 'years ago there was a rain which put Scott's creek out of Its banks and flooded the "bottoms," and which put the water up into the old negro Baptist church. There was really more water at that time than on Monday night, but the rain con tinued longer. During the time it lasted, Monday night's rain was ttt~ hardest which has fallen here in IL great many years. Below the Werber place, in Calhoun street, where the old bridge was washed away, a new bridge was being built. The new bridge was partly washed away and greatly damaged. SPECIAL NOTICES.
