Four Negroes Were Taken Sick and Died Near Shelton After Eating The Fruit. Upon her arrival from Maybinton, where she has been visiting at her old home, Mrs. W. V. Lyles, reported that the information recived by her brother, -Mr. Lyles Thomas, in the Maybinton community was that* four negroes had died suddenly-three of them in the same family and in one house-at Shelton, just across the riv er in Fairfi4ld county, and that it was supposed the death of the four negroes was ,caused by some poisonous insect on blackberries which 'they had pick ed and eaten just a short while before they died. The names of the negroes are not known. It is said two of them were about grown and two of them were younger. It is not known what else could have caused their death, and it is stated it is generally,suppos: ed it was due to the blackberries, the medical opinion being that the cause was some poisonous insect in the blackberries. The four negroes, it is stated, were together in the blackber'ry hunt which is supposed to have been the cause of their death. The blackberries were eaten in the afternoon and the death occurred during the night or early the next morning, it is stated. Death of MUrs. Aldrich.

TO BUILD HIGHWAY. I C Governorment Expert and Supervisor 3 to Go Over Charleston-Colum bia-N ewberry-Ashevi1le Road. Mr. J. B. Hunter, the vice pr-sident for Newberry county, on the Charles- a: ton - Columbia - Newberry - Asheville a highway is busy making arrangements V and preliminaries for the proper ii working of the road. He has invited B Mr. M. Goode Homes, a good road ex- a: per from the Federal government, to r go over the road in Newberry and make suggestions, and probably will S get him to supervise the building of 1 some sand-clay road. It is expected T to have the cooperation of Supervisor si Feagle and to have him go over the h road with Mr. Homes. e< The automobile owners of the coun ty have raised a purse of some $400 or h $500sto put on the road between New berry ana Prosperity, the work to be done under the supervisidn of the sup ervisor. 'It is expected that addition- W al amounts will be contributed and d the farmers and others along the road will make a free will offering of teams Ii and labor to put Newberrv's section in fine condition. The work is to be done between now and the 17th of August. On that day the finishing touches, are to be put on and visitors will go over the road from Charleston to Asheville and from Asheville to Char leston. This is a proposition which should have and no doubt will have the hear ty cooperation and aid of all the peo- s< ple of county. If these roads through it the county-ifor Newberry is to have b, two-are put in good condition it will tc stimulate road building and it will not be long before many other roads will R be worked in the same way. The people along the proposed routes are enthusiastic. Let the en-S thusiasm continue and spread until to there is a good road in every section of the county. Bad Little Storm. Milton Marshall, colored, from Miss Fannie Johnstone's place about four miles northeast of the city, was in w town Tuesday afternoon and reported tc a storm on the place Tuesday morn- J w Ing. The storm was sudden and of ce brief duration, but it was very violent Y while it lasted. Marshall says that it P got pitch black around there and the i thunder and lightning, rain, hail and w~ wind were terrific. Says he saw no di cloud approaching. It was like a peal S1 of .thunder from a clear sky, frighten- di ing the household. He didn't knQw whether it was a cyclone or a cloud- a: burst, or a little of both, as the wind: T raged mightily and there was a heavy, al downpour. The storm centred and: C: snent its short-lived fury on that one~ sT)ot; nowbere else not even* on'the p six horse farm, did it rain or stoxm. s The orchard got the worst of it, some a of the trees being blown down and. their destruction wrought right there. THE JUDGE'S ELOQUENCE. Wins His Case, But Loses His Memory o Teinporarily and Forgets Maud-.t Nearly verybody in the county byr this time knows or-has heard of Judge c; John Henr+ Chappell's eloquence and: enthusiasm in any cause in which his sympathy is enlisted. At a quite re cent meeting of an order of which both a' ladi-s and gentlemen are members and- d entitled to hold office the judge nomi nated a certain lady friend of his for a high office and backed~up the nomi Hation with one of his -best speeches.' He soared high in the ethical blue to pluck a bow to match her eyes and grasped at Venus to catch a spray to wreathe her shining hair and grabbed at the Zephyrs playing around the moon to get a cluster of waving beamsc 'to encircle her form. He won. The lady was elected. Now be it remembered that the .fudge is nothing if not gallant to the fair sex. Although he is a grandfather : and doesn't look it, being one of the I younger set of grandfathers, he is a great lady's man. What he would do or would not do for the ladies has no limit, whether he has On his coat or has left it at home. Well, the judge was so carried awayj with hsbeautiful work that after the: meeting he escorted some of the ladies to their homes. When he got to his own home it was getting late. His wife reminded him that Maud hadn't been fed; that he had better go feed her. Exclaimed the judge: "Maud! H-i! Maud's hitched behind Klett ner's store." You all know where the amiable judge lives. Well, he footed it 'back to- town and got his horse and' buggy. All such as this is what keeps - the judge so young looking. Look! The Herald and News one year for $1.50. J AUGHT IN NEWBERRY COUNTY.
