Late Sunday afternoon a burning chimney at the house owned by Mr. Dan P.

I bg o cllattention again to the corn show to be held in the old cot ti house next Saturday morning and to urge all who may wish to do so' whether contestants in any of the prize contests or not to bring samples o1 their corn, and to have the corn ir. place by or before 10 o'clock. If the exhibit is creditable, which I have no doubt it will be, we hope to. make it the basis of the county's part~ in the corn exposition to be held in Columbia in December. It is possible for some one who does. not get the prize to have the best type of corn and a single ear may receive the prize as such. Hence, the urgent request for samples of corn. My observation for the last few months has impressed me with the wonderful efforts now making by our, farmers in increasing the production of corn, to my w::y of thinking, one of: the most hopeful signs in the agri cultural development today. The committee on awards for next' Saturday has been selected as fol lows: R. T. C. HRunter, H. H. Abrams, and Prof. 0. B. Cannon, and we ask these gentlemen to be on hand early. Saturday morning and take charge of the exhibits. J. B. O'Neall IHlloway, PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD CLOSES. Pleasant and Harmonious Meeting Some Discussion of Several Senduary Matters. The Presbyterian synod of South Carolina closed last Thursday night. There were no matters of great in terest'to the public further than what were contained in the last issue of The Herald and News. Two questions affecting the semi nary in Columbia caused spirited dis cussion on Thursday and Thursday evening. The board of direcors of the seminary, which is in control of the synods of Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South Carolina, recommended to these synods the adVisability of amending the constitution of the seminary so that the terms of profes sors would expire upon the professor reaching the age of 70 years and that provision be made for their support after their retirement. It also provid ed that if in the judgment of the board it was advisable that the professor might be elected annually after reach ing the age of 70. This provision caused considerable discussion but was finally agreed to by the synod. It has not yet been acted upon by the other synods controlling the seminary. The terms of Dr. W. J. McKay, of Sumter, and Mr. W. A. Clark, -of Co lumbia, as members of the board of directors had expired and their suc cessors were elected. The committee to name their successors placed in 'nomination the names of Rev. Alexan der Martin, of RocA Hill, and Mr. W. H. Townsend, of Columbia. On the adoption of these recommendations 'there was a spirited debate. It was I claimed that these two gentlemen had been for many years members of the board and were very valuable mem bers and it would be a' mistake not to re-elect them. When the vote was taken, however, Dr. McKay and Mr. Townsend were elected. F Dr. T. A. Dwyer, who is conducting the meeting at the Presbyterian church this week, delivered a very eloquent address on Thursday night, giving some account -of 'his conversion from the Roman Catholic church. The sessions of the synod were pleasant -and harmonious and it seems that the members came to Newberry for %he purpose of attending to the business of synod and when it was finished of returning to their homes. The session Thursday night did not conclude until after 12 o'clock. THE LYCEUM COURSE. First Attraction Dr. Byron WV. King, Holland Hall NoTember 1-Larg est and Strongest Course. Dr. Byron W. King, the first attrac tion of the lyceum course will be with us on November 1, in Holland Hall. This year's lyceum course is the largest and strongest Newberry has had for a numbar of years. The course consists of 'seven attractions coming in the following order: Dr. Byron W. King, lecturer; The Winifred Town sand Concert company; The Coxes, entertaining company; The Eureka Glee Club, with its novelty, the chimes; Dr. W. T. S. Culp, called "The Prince of Orators;" The Lyric Glee club, returning by request of our people, and Dr. Henry Clark, "Play Ball Clark," the great English ora tor and lecturer. Ju'st a word about our first number, Dr. King. Russel Conwell says: "He is a man of highest rank in his pro fession, a king of the platform." A leading paper of Louisville, Ky., says that Dr. King is by all odds the great est man in his p-rofession, who ever appeared before the Louisville audi ence. John Temple Graves says: "I do not know that I ever met one who impressed me more profoundly than Dr. Byron W. King. He is a scholar, author, actor, teacher and incompar able orator combined, a glorious com bination meeting in an accomplished and lovable gentleman." Of a man who is leading in his pro fession it seems superfluous to men tion his ability. We only hope that the people will avail themselves of the privilege of hearing this man who as never before been in our midst and who makes us better as well as appier. Small Cotton Fire. Through the carelessness of a negro woman last Saturday a wagon load of cotton was set On fire. Mr. F. . Harmon was hauling cotton to town. About six miles from the city a negro woman who was on the wag n with the cotton lighted a cigarette and began smoking it. It didn't take long for the six bales to be on fire. The fire burned over all, but Mr. Har mon thinks he saved all but one bale. No Bread. The supply of bread for Miss Anne . Ruff was delayed owing to break cun in machinery of bakery at Sartanburg.

Young Newberry Man EleTated to Fine Position. Mr. Robt. E. Leavall has returned from a trip to Pittsburg, Pa., where he attended a national bureau meet ing of casket manufacturers, Mr. Leavell having gone there in the in terest of the Rockwell Casket com pany, of North Carolina, of which company he is president. He came back by New York, where he was ap pointed special representative for the S3uth of the New York and Prooklyn Casket company, the largest manufacturers in this industry. This new connection is additional to his Rockwell connection and is quite a promotion. Mr. Leavell is associated in business in Newberry with his father, Mr. Robert Y. Leavell, and leads a busy life. His new duties, with all of his other work, will make him still more active. He makes a moving representative in the indus trial ranks. In Jail for Arson. Charged with the capital crime 'of house burning, Alice Williams has been lodged in jail by Sheriff Buford. She is a negress who lived on the place of Mr. B. P.

Circum stances pointed strongly to the angry wife as the incendiary, and she was arrested accordingly. Fire at Old Town. Early last Tuesday night the store of Mr. Gus Chapman at Old Town was destroyed with the entire contents by a fire supposed to be incendiary. Mr. Chapman was ginning cotton at the time and had left the store. going to his gin, during which time the build ing had caught and was burning. When he got to the fire he discovered that t.he back door of the store had been opened and there was a sack of lour on the floor near the door, which indicated robbery. The loss is about $400, nsurne ount $2.500. OFINTEREST TO TEACHERS. Especally to Treachers of Rural Sclools-BuIlletins Issued by U. S. Department Agriculture. The United States department of agriculture has re.!env issued two Lulletins of universa ' :, to rorc.' teaciers. They ha - .en prepr -.d by Lh V J. Crosby an F. W. h(;owe. specialists in agricultural education and are entitled "School Lessons rn Corn" and "School Exercises in Plant Production." These bulletins are based on the sensible assumption that the child is primarily interested in the practical and experimental side of any science and that any general interest in agriculture will be th? result of some special agricultural ex periment in which he may be engaged. Three thousand boys in South Caro lina this year raised an acre of corn. Many of them will receive the diplo ma awarded by the State board of education for producing seventy-fiva bushels per acre. We confidently ex pect five thousand boys to take part in the corn contest next y?ar. The air is full of corn talk. The teachers of South Carolina should have a part in extending this movement and. should use this acute special interest as a means of teaching general agri culture. Through the kindness of the depart 1 ment of agriculture and the courtesy of Senator Tillman, Mr. W. K. Tate, State supervisor of elementary rural schools, has 5,000 copies of these bul letns for distribution. A supply has been sent by him to each county sup erintendent of education. Any teach er may have copies of these bulletins by writing to Mr. Tate in Columbia. Quick Work. Mr. A. P. Boozer sold his stock of goods last Friday to Mr. J. L. Schum pert.
