Purcell and J. H. Wil liams attended the Repu blican con vention in Columbia. The footlights at the opera house show a good piece of work by Electri cian J. Tom Hutchinson. Contractor E. H. Leslie is making beautiful the front of the new build ing on the old "Baltimore corner." Mr. J. L. Nobles has removed his barber shop to the rooms over the new store of Mr. J. L. Burns in Main street. Messrs. Nat Gist, J. E. Norwood and W. H. Alderman will taken their fine horses to the State fair next week and have them in the ring. The gratifying intelligence has been received by Mr. E. M. Evans that the condition of Mr. Wi. M. Griffin re cently paralyzed in Fermandina, is imprr>;ing. The lady who left a white kid glove at the opera house Tuesday night can recover her property by applying to the office of Chief of Police C. W. Bishop. The first two rows of the gallery at the opera house reserved for 75 cents per seat. Get your tickets on time at the Newberry Hardware company for reserved seats. A junior Epworth league will be or ganized at New Chapel church Sat urday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. All of the children are urged to be pres ent. The Pressley school in No. 11 town ship opened on Monday. The teacher, Miss Mattie Rogers, of Abbeville, is boarding with Judge W. F. Suber, and the school is moving on niclly. Owing to the fact that the lower part of the opera house has been about taken for "The Sins of the Father," the entire gallery will be re served for white people tonight, Fri day. The negro woman, Alice Williams, mentioned last Tuesday as having been jailed on the charge of incen diarism, was arrested by Constable Cannon G. Blease, on a warrant from Magistrate John H. Chappell. Rev. J. W. Carson, .of Newberry, will preach at Prosperity A. R. P. church Sabbath evening at 7 o'clock. At Holland Hall next Monday week, Dr. Byron W. King, first attraction of the lyceum course. A fairly good audience greeted "The Man On the Box" Tuesday night. Those who went enjoyed it; those staying away missed a fine thing. There was some class to that performance. An excellent troupe playing a good piece in first-class style and natural, easy manner. Just after The Idler had spoken last and suggested the removal of Chief C. W. Bishop's banana tree to rake room for that city park the la dies of the civic association will build some of these days, the tree was ta.k en away by the roots and has been carefully housed in out of the cold winds and rains that are coming here this winter. There was another happy marriage in the county Wednesday afternoon at o'clock, at tihe residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Jimmie Epps, in the Bachman Chvr nel community. The Rev. James D. .Lanard tied the knot which united Miss Alice Epps to Mr. Ihomas Eugene McCullough. The newly wedded young people are re eiving the congratu.lations of their friends. Smith from Georgia, who forfeited bond in the case against him for beat ing his son and mistreating his wife, and whomi the police were instructed to rearrest on sight, made the job im possible by leaving town before the' police could see him. Later his fam ly left. It would be safe to bet that the wife who has been mistreated fol lowed the husban'd 'wiho mistreated her. If you want to be jumped on and get a good beating by a woman, you hit the man who is whipping his wife. The colored blind tiger, Mose Far row, mentioned in last issue as hav ing been arrested for selling whis key at Little River Baptist church, demanded a preliminary hearing,: whichi was granted him before Magis trate J. W. Hendrix Tuesday. Mose was represented by Mr. Ed. Sheppard, f Saluda. But Mose's preliminary didn't benefit him. Constable T. G. Williams succeeded in having him bound over to court, which makes about eight cases by Constable Wil liams for court. Miss It, By No Means. A rare treat is in store for those who will attend the play at the opera house tonight, Friday. Mr. Thomas Dixon, the author of thb work, "The Sins of the Father," will appear in the leading role, made necessary by the death of the actor, Mr. Robert Pahr, who was drowned at Wrightsville Beach on Sunday before last. Mr. Dixon will also give the audience one of his famous talks. No doubt a full house will welcome the distinguished author of "The Clansman," the stir BOYS' CORN CLUB. Exhibition to be Held Today in Old Court House-Prizes to be Awarded. Notice has already been printed of! the corn ehxhibition to be held at Newberry on Satudary of this week and the list of prizes to be given to the boys' corn club has also been printed. At this corn exhibition the contestants in the prizes offered by th- Farmers' union aind others through the demonstrator for this county will also be awarded. Mr. S. M. Duncan, special agent for Newberry, desires that every one that can be present at the exhibition on Saturday and that each one bring ten ears of his best corn. Mr. Duncan stated that Mr. Ira W. Williams, Mr. A. G. Smith and Dr. C. M. Morgan will be here and will make short address es on agriculture and stock raising. This should be an exhibition of very great interest not only to the farmers of this county but to every one else; who desires to see the agricultural and farming ele-mert prospel. All that is needed in this county is to get the farmres interested in growing more corn and other food products upon the farm and in this way taking more interest in the making and the building up of the farmlands through out the county. It has not been so long ago that the farmers of Newberry who could grow fifteen to twenty bushels of corn to! the acre except on exceptionally fine river or creek bottoms, were consider- i ed very good farmers. Even on these choice river and creek bottoms. a crop of fifty bushels to the acre was con sidered an excellent crop. Now, we frequently hear of the growing of from 75 to 100 bushels to the -acre on upland, land which the farmer of twenty-five or thirty years ago would never have considered for one mo ment as being suitable to corn grow ing. The fact is that the growing of 75 or 100 bushels of corn to the acre is about as profitable as the growing of cotton even at present prices, if the difference in the cost of labor is taken into the calculation. I In connection with the ex hibition to be held at the court house on Saturday Special Agent Duncan states that he will be at the court house on Friday and any one wishing to arrange his exhibition can do so on that day. In this connection, also Mr. Duncan requests the publication 'of the follow ing which has been sent to all agents and which should be of interest of all farmers: Columbia, S. C., Oct. 14, 1910. Td All Agents: In order that we may get pure bred stock into every! county in the State I wish, besides the individuals who wish to purchase stock, that we could get the superin tendent of every county poor farm to purchase mares, pure bred hogs, cat te of some of the larger breeds and! where poss*U,; a pure bred, or grade! stallion -f .1 large type. We realiii that everv -: nty appremians wha the demostratio-1 work is d~ i?n,.. I know of no &#.cer method by wh!ch the farms could help themselves ai'd their counties than 'by adding good breeding stock .for their -own use and for public service. We are very de sirous of getting stock into the coun ties this fall, as it is the best season to transfer stock. When we stop to think of the many millions of dollars that go out of the State annually for mules, meats, dairy products and fer tilizers, when we can raise this stuff at home, and at the same time build up our farms, help solve the labor question and be prepared for the boll! weavil, is not it a time when we can' make a start? The South 'has many advantages, as the grazing season is longer, more cover crops can be grown, warmer, costly barns are not needed as in the North. The dairy and live stock pos sibilities in the South are so great that I could not enumerate them all in a circular. Yours respectfully, C. M. Morgan, General Agent. Special Services. Nothing preventing, the annual fes tval of the Reformation will be ob served at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer Sunday. The sermons! morning and night will be preached by Rev. C. E. Weltner, D. D., of Co lumbia, S. C. Dr. Weltner is a fluent speaker, and being thoroughly famil-! iar with the land of the Reformation, having visited it numbers of times, he will bring a message of unusual interest and power. On the 31st of October, 1511, Lu ther nailed his "Ninety-Five Theses" on the door of the Castle church at Wittenberg, and the great reforma-! tion that shook the world was begun. On this account we are today enjoy-' ig religious liberty in a great land, signally blessed by a kind heavenly father, and it is exceedingly fitting* that Christians should remember the event with great gratitude and praise, 'to God. The public is cordially invited to DR. BYRON W. KING. The First Attraction of the Lyceuni Course at Holland Hall Next Tuesday-Don't Forget It. Do not forget the date of the first attraction of the lyceum course, No vember 1, when Dr. Byron W. King will appear. in Holland Hall. Dr, King, :having never appeared in New berry before, is unknown to some of us. However, he is considered by the best men of the platform and the leading papers of today to be the most popular of all lecturers. Russell Conwell says of him: "A genius, a man of highest rank in his profession, a king of the platform.' The leading paper of Omaha, Nab., says: "He is the most popular of all lecturers." Dr. King is of internation al reputation. His text books on ora tory are studied in the schools of ev ery civilized nation of the globe. This man has never failed to pack the house, and if we do not have a large crowd next Tuesday evening it will be because we do not realize the greatness of the man, the fullness of his message, and the pleasing and penetrating presentation of that mes sage. The object of the lyceum course is to lift us to higher planes, intellec tually, morally, and spiritually and this Dr. King can and will do if you lend him your presence. If for any reason it may be impossible for yon to attend all seven numbers, by all means do not miss hearing Dr. King. We urge you to be present because we know King. and we feel you will regret after King is gone, of having been absent. It is an unus-il pi'i~~ nd hon or to have a man like Dr. ing with us. Tuesday, Noveniber 1. :15 p. m., Holland Hall. CoT .1. C. S. Brow", Col. J. C. S. 3rown, o' the old est citizens of the councy, d'e ' at his home in No. 2 tow-,,hip r_n Tuesday of this week. Col.

He is survived by three sons and two daughters, Dr. Wistar C. Brown and Joe Brown of Newberry, and S. E. Brown of Greenville, and Mrs. B. B. Leitzsey and Mrs. Ben Caldwell of the county. The Brown family was amougst the first settlers of the section in which Col. Brown lived and died. They came about t'he year 1750 land settled at that place in what was purely the woods, their nearest white neighbors being settled on Tigers triver, near Goshen Hill, and one living at Ninety Six. The Annals of Newberry in speak ing of Col. Brown says: "He served as county commissioner two years, from 1878 to 1880. To him twelve children have been born, six sons and six daughters; seven of whom are liv ing, four sons and three daughters. J. C. S. Brown has lived in this sub lunary world about thirteen years onger than any other Brown of the same family. May he live many more." The Annals of Newberry was print ed in 1893, so Col. Brown has lived seventeen years since then, making bis journey here thirty year's longer than any other member of the family. He was magistrate for the township t the time of his death and had for many years been trustee for the school in the community and always ook an active interest in all public iffairs. He was a member of the A. R. P. church. In the early part of 1861, he organ [zed a company composed altogether af Newberry men, and was elected aptain. After having his company thoroughly drilied, he was ordered to Columbia where they went into camp. [t was one of the smaller companies and in the formation of the regiment there were two 'om panies more than were needed and it had to be left out. Captain Brown transferred his men to ther companies and resigned. After remaining at home for some time, aptain Brown joined Captain Keitt's company as a private and served through the war. He lived an upright and honest life and was gathered to his fathers in a ripe old age and has left a heritage to his children of which they may be proud. He was a Mason and the Masons of Newberry attended the funeral, which was held at Kings' Creek church on Wednesday. Watts- Royall.
