Editor The Herald and News: Thursday, the 13th inst., being th ' fiftieth anniversary of th' departur+ of Company B, 3rd South Carolina Vo1 unteers for the army, Airs. James A. Burton will on that day carry the flags of Company B, 3rd S. C. V., to Columbia and deposit them in th- relie room at the State house. You are cordially invited to go with us, and we hope that several of the survivors will go also. Fifty yea^s in the fu ture looks like a long time, but to us who assembled at Newberry on the 13th day of Api'il, 1S61, .. years seems a short time indeed. Of the hundreds of people who were at the depot that beautiful Sunday morning, so few are left. The great majority have gore over the river to rest under the shade of the trees. It was a day of patriotism, a day of tears, a day of rejoicing, a day of sor row. Many lips met that day that were to meet no more on earth. We were soon off for Charleston, but when we reached Columbia we were informed that Fort Sumter had surrendered. We were carried to camp in Columbia and here began that drill that mace the Confederate soldiers the greatest fighters on earth. But the grey line is getting thin now. Soon there will be none living who can tell of the gal. lantry of that band of heroes. How they fought. How they suffered. Hov they marched barefooted in the snow and ice of Virginia and Tennesse. How they suffered from hunger and cold. How they held up the Confed eracy on the points of their bayonet for four years. 'People of Newberry, the old veterans will not be with you many years longer. S-ee that none of them sufler from hunger. W. G. Petersorl. Newberry, S. C., April 10, 1911. Wants to Thank Somebody. Some time ago a citizen paid for The Herald and News to be sent Mr. James T. Bishop, Macon, Ga., un known to Mr. Bishop. A letter of re cent date to the editor from Mr. Bish op brings the "comipliments *of an old gray haired veteran- of the sixties;" who says he is due thanks to some one for sending him the paper. He; says it reminds him of a remark that he heard when he was a youth of 16. There had been a gracious and long needed shower of rain and an old gentleman was thankful for it and de sired to express his thanks sa iL~ grateful man bared his head and turn ing his eyes heavenward, s'id: "I am much obliged to somebody for this rain. I don't know who it is," Mr. Bishop says that's the way it is with him about the paper. Mr. Bishop concludes his interest ing and appreciat:ed letter as follows: "lI condlusion 1 desire to say that The Herald and News is a familiar copy of former days. Its pages arel clean and interesting, especially the nannes of those I knew in the sweet long ago. The mnater!al progress of the old town has made in the last 40 years is evidently known only to those who knew it then and now." New 18tmars' Line.

The subscribers on the line are now. in constant telephonic communication' with each other and through the Southern Bell exchange wfith the tel ephone users in Newberry county. The construction of this line and its connection with the telephone ex-' change here is another step in the progress of the telephone develop-; ment which is 'being made by the resi dents in the rural sections' of New berry county. Under the plan of the Southern Bell Telephone & Telepgrah company, farmers and other rural' dwellers are enabled to secure tele phone service on an economical basis. As a result, farmers in all sections of. the State are installing telephones in their homes. Nayor's Court Martha Flax and Emma Richie paid by order of Mayor Langfordl SS each.

The conflict developed into a reg ular sea-saw, first one team in the lead and then the other, ending hap pily, however, by the score of 5 to " with the local talent holding the big end-it took then until the very last inning to store the game away though, and the one run necessary to win was accomplished in great style by Johnson's men, who took advan tage of their training in scientific baseball in the following manner: Boozer took first and second on Gaffhey's error, vmeltzer sacrificed him down on an out, Levi to Hair, home. The squeeze play was again worked successfully when Neal's well placed bunt scored Boozer with the winning run. Epting essayed to do the slab duty for the locals. He found the road somewhat rocky, however, and was relieved by Eidson, the old reliable, who took his task in the eighth round. The contest was well nigh feature less, save a bit of high-way robbery committed by Myers. of Charleston, when he took in Hazel's line drive, which had hit labeled all over it in the 6th round. Wednesday afternoon a battle royal is sure to take place wnen one strong Presbyterian college team, of Clinton, will put forth their fast efforts to check the Newberrians in their mad rush for the old rag. They will sure ly have their hands full for the dope says that they'll never be able to ov ercome Eidson's great twirling and the excellent defense that the locals are capable of putting up. This game will be called at 3.30 o'clock in order to enable the team to return home that night. This is getting off the original sub ject, however. The box score of Fri day's conflict gives the individual do ing. It follows: Newberry.
