Two beautiful solos were sung by Miss Pauline Gilder at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer Sunday morning. Miss Gilder was at her best and her singing was sweet and was greatly enjoyed by the large congre gation.

Houseal may also be correct in pre dicting a severe winter, which chilling prediction will be met by .shivers on the part of the people. In the account of the big demnonstra tion of last Wednesday night, as re ported by The Herald and News, an unintentional and regrettable omission occurred in not mentioning the speech oe Mr John Henr Channel. The in the hurry. Mr. Chappell's speech was liberally applauded throughout its delivery. For reasons best known to himself Mr. H. B. Wells has resigned his posi tion with the Newberry Hardware com pany. He has also declined to ac cept a flattering offer from Lorick & Lowrance, the extensive hardware merchants of Columbia.

Lominack's beef market there was a pretty and appetite giv ing sight last Thursday evening. Four young stee"s had been butchered and the fresh, fat, tender, juicy and beau tiful meat was all hung up in the cool and fly-proof stalls ready for Friday morning's sale. If the seven or eight other markets in the city, besides those on the hills, do such business Newber ry certainly is a beef-eating town. Either the town has grown wonder fully in eight years or the people gen erally have become a set of beef-eaters. About the first thing Mayor Blease did as mayor upon resuming the reins of the city government was to impose a heavy sentence upon a colored cit izen, who was fined $100 for disorderly conduct, abusing and fighting his wife, cutting her clothes and threatening to kill her. The man pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty. As he could not pay the $100 he is serving the 30 days' sentence that the court always attaches as an alternative. Mayor Blease further decreed that at the ex piration of said term of labor, the said wife beater must make immediate pre paration for leaving the city or else be put under peace bond. TO SPEAK IN MARION. Mr. J. B. O'Neall Holloway Invited to Delver Address at Big Rally of Farmers in Marion. Prof. J. B. O'Neall Holloway, who is now working in the interest of the Farmers' union and organizing local unions in the upper part of the State, has received an invitation from the chamber of commerce and the Far mers' union of Marion to be -present at a big Farmers' rally in Marion on the 28th, and to deliver an address on that occasion. Mr. Holloway has ap pointments during that time in An derson county, but he hopes to be able to arrange his engagements so that he might accept this invitation. Mr. Holloway is a very excellent speaker and the people of Marion will be fortunate if he shall be able to go. MUNhICIPAL POLITICS. Though Election Four Months Off Can didates Are Being Men tioned. Who is to be Mayor Blease's succes sor as head of the city government is some talk now. The possibility some time since existing as to Alderman P. F. Baxter's opposing ex-Mayor J. J. Langford in the approaching race has passed beyond the range of probability even and it is understood generally as a certainty that these two active cit izens will aspire to the position since Mr. Blease has stepped higher, very much higher. It is interesting to note in this connection that others prom iently mentioned for ne.xt mayor are Messrs. J. W. Earhardt, I. H. Hunt, E. S. Blease and C. H. Cannon-not men tioned by themselves, but by their friends who,would like to have them allow the use of their names as can didates for that office. Card From Dr. Wyche. To the Democratic Voters of'Newber ry County: With a heart full of gratitude to the people of Newberry county for their deep interest in my re-election and without an unkind thought towards my opponent and those who felt con strained to vote for him, I wish to as sure the people that I appreciate deep ly this expression of continued confi ence. I wish to be considered as a representative or servant of all the people, and I will welcome any sug gestion from any one, who can recom mend anything that will tend to the material advancement or the moral up lift of the people of this county and of the State of South Carolina. I thank the people for their uniform courtesy and kindness during the cam paign and their liberal support at the ballot box. I shall always endeavor to be worthy of the confidence reposed in me. C. T. Wyche. Amity Lodge, No. 87, A. F. N. An extra communication of Amity lodge, No. 87, A. F. M., will be held on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock for the purpose of conferring the F. C. degree. Visiting brethren cordially welcomed. . Harry W. Dominick, .W. Earhardt, W. M. OPENING NEWBERRY COLLEGE. Everything Ready-Prospects Bright. Many Improvements-Students From Many States. In less than two weeks the 55th ses sion of Newberry college will have commenced and the town will be once more alive with students. The col lege's opening and closing are notable events in the life of the town, and they are always regarded with more or less interest by all citizens. The college has meant and still means much for the prosperity and development of the community in all the departments of life-religious intellectual, social and commercial. That the institution is appreciated and loved by the people of Newberry is shown by the hearty sup port which they have always given it. The formal opening will take place on the 29th inst., in Holland Hall audi torium, at which time all students are expected to be present. The examina tions for entrance and for delinquents ivill be held on the 27th and 28th. All candidates for entrance by examina tion and all students having conditions to remove must report on Tuesday, the 27th, at 9 a. m. The remainder of the student body is not expected to report until 8.45 a. m. on Thursday, the 29th, at which time the regular work of the session will begin. The coming session bids fair to be the most prosperous in the history of the college. All indications point to a large enrollment of students, larger even than that of last year, which taxed the capacity of the dormitories to the fullest extent. Dr. Harms, Dr. Thomas and Prof. Derrick have been in the field during the summer and have secured a large number of prom ising new-ptudents. This year students will be drawn not only from various parts of this State, but also from Florida, Mississippi, Georgia and North Carolina. In accordance with the advance of collegiate education, the standard of the college has been steadily raised during the past few years, and the coming session will witness further advances in the curriculum and schol arship requirements. In order to in clude all of the numerous courses which are now offered in the collegiate and technological department, the faculty has found it necessary to in crease the number and length of the recitation periods. According to the new schedule classes will be held both morning and afternoon, with a recess for dinner in the middle of the day. The faculty has undergone no changes since last session. Those pcm fessors who went away for the sum mer will all return in time for the en trance examinations. President Harms returned a few weeks ago from his European trip. Prof. Rountree has been attending the summer school at Cornell university, where he has pur sued postgraduate work in electrical engineering. Prof. Voigt has been do ing private work in modern languages in Charleston, S. C. For the past few weeke the college buildings have been undergoing a thorough renovation preparatory to the opening of the new session. A change has been made in the dormi tory system whereby Prof. Riser will have charge of the dormitory annex, which will be the quarters of the pre paratory students. The refectory will again be managed by Mrs. John A. Summer, under whose capable man agement during the past few years it has become one of the best college boarding halls in the State. The campus has been still further beautified during the past summer and 1s now a very attractive spot. The old fence which has for many years bor dered College street has been removed and the lawn will be extended to the ement paving, thus givng a park-like appearance to this part of the campus. It will be well for those townspeople who expect. to enter their sons or daughters in the college this fall to notify Dr. Harms at once, so as to avoid possible confusion and delay at the opening of the session. Princess Chrysanthemum. The opera season will open here on Friday night, September 23, with an peretta, Princess Chrysanthemum, which will be given by local talent, the proceeds to be used toward paying for a pipe organ for Central church. This play will be given under the direction f the Methodist ladies and there will be between one hundred and one iiun red and twenty-five of the young folk f Newberry to take part in it. The admission fee will be fifty cents for reserved seats and thirty-five cents for general admission. Children tun er 12 years will be admitted in the general admission for 25 cents. Death of Infant. The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Ward, of West End, died Friday morn ng and was buried Saturday afternoon t W ' ' co:etery, the Rev. 3. R 3rthe .airvice. .1 -~ BAXTER BUYS THE GEEYS. Two Fine and Heavy Weight Horses Purchased for the Fire De partient. Alderman P. F. Baxter, with his son, Marion, and Malcolm, the driver of the Newberry hose wagon, returned from the Appalachian exposition Saturday. While in Knoxville Mr. Baxter accom plished the chief object of his visit to that city. He bought a pair of steel grey horses for the Newberry fire de partment, paying $800 down in Knox ville for them. Mr. Baxter made a good deal, as there were representa tives present from Rock Hill, S. C., Hartsville, S. C., and Asheville, N. C., to buy the same horses, if possible, but the Newberry man had an option on the greys and made good, thus se curing the coveted prize to the disap pointment of the other men. Mr. Bax ter would not have bought them if he felt he was not getting a good bargain, as he is a judge of such matters, and the city fire department is to be con gratulated upon the trade made by Mr. Baxter, who generally succeeds in do ing what he undertakes to do. As to their being fine horses and a beautiful match of pure steel greys you need not take his word, as you may see for your self. Their combined weight is 2,775 pounds. They are 16 1-2 hands high, six and seven years old, and are of Percheon stock. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION. Of Reedy River Association to Meet With First Baptist Church This Week.
