Some of the visitors to "Ben Hur" last week also attended the automo bile races in Columbia.1 The usual Thanksgiving comers and goers came and went during the sea son just closed. There never has been a more perfect Thanksgiving day. There never could be a more beautiful one. The Rev. W. C. Kelly made a fine talk at the Thanksgiving celebration o~f the local Red Men Thursday night. It was instructive and entertaining. The ladies of the A. R. P. church will hold a bazaar December 9, in the win dows of Johnson and McCrackin's store next to the bake'y. Dr. Smith says: "The horrible hat and the hobUl'e skirt."

The Ladies' Aid society of the First Bantist church will have a fancy work sale on the afternoon and evening of December 9, the place to be given uc ter.

A. Dick ert, will meet at the residence of Mrs. Henry L. Parr Saturday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. All members are urged to be present. The statement has been made in the press to the effect that it may be many months before the census bu reau announces its report as to other South Carolina towns. The 'possum crop is reported to be good in the Long Cane Creek section f Abbeville county.--Greenville Pied mont. Before deciding the possum ,ontest, you "See Newberry first." For what has Roosevelt to be thank-: ul?-Greenville Piedmont. For life nd heaIlth and strength and many )ther things. And as the News and; ,ourier says, because he is not ban shed yet. A marriage occurred at Belfast Sun lay week at the home of the bride's ather, Mr. Tom Gentry, between Miss ,arrie Elizabeth Gentry and Mr. eorge Crowder, all of Belfast neigh orhood. The Rev. D. P. Boyd officiat ~d. That was a happy thought of Mr. )tto Klettner's Thursday night in sug resting a collection for th~e orphans. [he raising of $13 or $14 on the spur >f the mom6nt without previous not4 ication is good. The great sachem is $1 right. The Greenville Piedmont says it is ~enerally believed that Santa Claus will not visit either Spartanburg or anderson this year. Readers of The -erald and News know that he will ~om here, because of his announce nent of headquarters in 'this city. Why am I thankful? asked the News mnd Courier Thursday, and gave sev-I ral answers, among them this: "The ~overnor-elect-For my enemies." Phere is, more stinging truth in that :han even the News and Courier sus >ects. A lawyer was telling the newspaper nan that he saw a bank check which ;vent from Newberry to Greece and return, a long journey on the ,part of* :he check. This business transaction s a more interesting item than many L one that gets into print. If Mr. Otto Klettner can do as well n a speech with little preparation as ie did Thursday night, The Herald nd News force would like to hear him fter he had had aR1l the time he want id to prepare himself. There were some grand thoughts in that spe~ech by :he great sachem of tile Red Men. Two white drunks were published in :nayor's court Monday, one for curs Lng, $5 or 30 days, the other for being lisorderly with it, $25 or 30 days.

Judge Wilson Is Presiding-Consider able Amount of Business to be Disposed Of. The fall term of the general ses sions court convened on Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, Judge John S. Wilson, of Manning, presiding, - and Solicitor Cooper on hand at his post of duty.

Solicitor Cooper handed out a num ber of bills of indictment, and the grand jury was charged by Judge Wil son. Judge Wilson stated that he would not go at length into the grand jury's general duties, as they had already been charged twice this year along this line, but explained clearly the vasious crimes charged in the indictment. The case against H. H. Evans was,' continued on motion of the State, on account of the absence of the attorney general, who it was announced would be engaged today in the "Merger" case in Columbia. Mr. E. S. Blease, rep resenting the defendant, demanded a trial, saying that the defendant had demanded a trial at the last tWm, and wanted a trial. The cases represented by Governor elect Cole. L. Blease were continued!; on account of Mr. Blease's physical condition. Mr. Blease announced that he could not represent these cases after he was sworn in as governor, but that without some time for prepara ticn on the part of other attorneys he did not think it would be fair to his c&ints to force them to trial at this term. Mr. Blease had hoped to be able to handle these cases this week, but was forbidden by his physician. Pleaded Guilty. Ed Walker pleaded guilty to an in dictment charging him with larceny) from the person, and was sentenced to serve fifteen months. FAMILY REUNION. Family of Mr. J. S.

The efficiency of the fire drills which have been practiced in the city schools was shown by a test on Friday at noon which was gratifying to those in charge. Without previous warning to the children, the city fire alarm was sounded and the city's fire department was rushed to the Boundary street graded school. As soon as the depart ment reached the school grounds the fire alarm was given to the children, and the building was entirely cleared in from thirty-five to forty seconds. Superintendent H. L. Dean of the school had invited several citizens to witness the test. The chidren came out in fine for mation, and held their lines on the grounds, mathing back into the building without having broken ranks. The whole drill was free from any evidences of a threatened stampede as if the children had been coming out for recess. The fire department made fine time to the school grounds, and within a very few minutes after the wild-cat whistle had sounded the children had marched out of the building and were back at their studies.
