The meeting af- t e ter a short talk by Mr. Johnstone, was y ideclared adjourned.g All of these speakers were veryI anxious to impress upon their hearers the aim of Clemson college in sending them out, and that the college is d anxious to give practical aid to the Ie farmers of the State, where possible1 by letter, and where the necessary a information can not be given in that 1 way a dem"nstrator from the college a will be sen.t to the farm needing help. c At 4 o'clock a team from Pomaria and a local aggregation met on the a ball diamond and engaged in a heated d contest, which resulted in a victory 'y ,for Pomaria by the score of 8 to 4. - Death of An Infant. e The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. a A.

Services Are Attended by Large and Appreciative Congregations Strong Discourses. The services conducted by Dr. Orr in the opera house are attended by large and appreciative congregations. With great force he is emphasizing every phase of Christian duty. His appeal is always to the word of God. The mornings are being devoted to a study of the theme, "What it is to be a Christian." The subject for the Sabbath morn- j ing sermon will be, "The American Home." Every parent in the surround- - ing country should hear this sermon. A mass meeting for men and boys will be held at the opera house on Sab bath at 3.30. "The Devil's Detective" will be the subject of this discourse. This is a most helpful message and " iould be heard by every man and boy in Newberry.' To the Public. As there is so much said about our ice, I think that I am due the public - to make this statement. I give you my word, that there is not a drop of water that is used in making ice, that is not distilled, whether city or spring water. - If we use water from the city, that water, although pure, we take and pump into our boilers, then boiled un til it goes to steam, is then caught and condensed back to water, then reboil ed and filtered, is then conveyed - through pipes into a storage tank and ] then into the ice' cans. Now, if there is any way to make water pure it is by distilling the wat er, that is done by boiling the water, - and we boil this water not once, but ] twice. You have my word that the water we use for making ice is pure, you have the word of the board of health that it is pure, you have Mr. Aull's word that the ice is not pure, you can believe the one you want to believe. 'I will make this assertion, if you will seleot three or five men that are my enemies and if they will come to the mill and show me where we use any but distilled water for making ice, I will resign my position. There is a lot of kicking beinig done by those that want something to kick,] and if you will call their names I ytill point ourt to you why they are kicking, it is not thie ice. Ice can not - 'be made purer than we are making it. Respectfully, . J. H. Wicker, Mgr. P. S.-I will have a block of ice made from water from the city, and one made from distilled water, on the corner at 'Gilder & Weeks' Friday 1 morning, if the council will allow me 'this privilege, for your inspection. I wonder if Mr. Aull will look at It. J. H. Wicker, Mgr. Newberry, S. C., July 18, 1911. ] ** * * * *.* * * * * *1 *s8INrTILLATION(S.* By Squibs..*] * - * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * . We have been studying the problem of the june-bug and the child. If the june-bug is nothing but a little auto machine, and does not know its limi 'tations and the child does'not recog nize any cruelty in the sport, what then ?-Our Monthly.. Maybe this means that th~e june-bug exceeds the. speed limit 'and doesn't care who heI runs up against. Some people actually talk as jthough disappointed when ther is no big firej after hearing the twisting screech.! The peculiar sound seems to arouse a kidof fire curiosity or kindle a fire enthusiasm. It produces some sort of abnormal feeling with its queer, loud noise. "A man is not to be sent to hell be cause 'he likes to fish," says Bishop! McDowell of Indiana. "Fishing," he continues, "is a perfectly legitimate occupation, even though lyingabu it is not." The last fishing party at Old Tgwn this week caught between 75 and' 400 pounds, according to who's telling it. A LOVELY PICTURE. Vacation and Best at Beautiful River side. Rev. W. P. Jacobs In Our Monthly. Those delightful sunsets, the clouds, all silver-lined, the far away horizon ,4 -the trees growing blaclker as the sun sinks deeper, the sweet silence of( the hour till the song of the cricket and katydids and whip-poor-wills be gin and the pure air-why it makes a poet of the plodding business man. There is the glint of sun-light on the river-one may see It from the doorsteps; the river flows on and is 4 Ilost amid green boughs. Evening set Itles down; holy thoughts come; the stars peep out and somewhere there is heaven. SPECIAL NOTICES. )ne Cent a Word.
