S. se, cret service, for the far east, is in d Newberry for a few days on a visit C to friends and the scenes of his boy- C hood days. 0 Mr. Cooley has achieved phenomenal a success in the service of Uncle Sam t sinca he left this city at the outbreak b of the Spanish-American war in 1898. s: Enlisting in the Twenty-ninth regi ment, U. S. Volunteers, as sergeant, 1 he saw active service in the campaign e in the Philippines for eighteen months. c He then received an appointment as sergeant of the metropolitan police in Manila, after which he was promoted to inspector of police, 1,500 men com posing the metropolitan force. In 1906 Mr. Cooley was made chiefr of the Secret Service for the far east, with headquarters in Manila, which F position he now holds. In response to a cablegram from Presdent Taft he left Manila on October 13 for Washing ton, and has been in that city for sev- b eral days in consultation with the president.b Mr. Cooley, in speaking of Ne wb ;rry, said.: - "I am glad to be back in old Newber-d ry, and to note the great improve men's made since I left 12 years agc. Whin I am p'aased to note the im proved conditions, I am glad also to see that comnmerce hasn't Nev:berry by 9 the throat to such an extent that she d has forgotten the traditions of the oldc South. I still find that congeniality and hospitality so characteristic of the Southern people, t< "The more one travels diid 661b into contact with the world and worldly affairs, the more he appre ciates Dixie, especially South Caro lina, and last, but not least, Newberry. The chivalry of the South Carolina N gentleman and the purity of South Carolina's women, if equalled, are not surpassed anywhere on God's green earth." N Mr. Cooley will return to Washing-1 ton after the holidays. Death of Faithful N'egro. Lewis Hurd, an aged negro, died at 0 happells on Sunday. He had been a faithful servant of the late Mr. Henry . Blease and his sons for a long numn-d ber 'of years. He was a good negro, nd the white people whom he served nd those who knew him were his H rends.F It is not in the nature of present :onditions, nor, in all likelihood, will it ever be again, to produce a charac ter similar to the negro of the old ~ South. These old servants are fastB passing away, as are those whom they served. They were loyal and devoted, a.nd they will ever hold a unique place ' in the history of this country. - A Marriage Announcement. The following Invitations are out. Mr. and Mrs. E. T.
