Took Oath of Office Monday-Resigns as Alderman-Outlines His Policy. At a special meeting of the city council held Monday morning, Alder man Jno. W. Earhardt tendered his resignation, as alderman from Ward 1, to take effect immediately. The resig nation was accepted and resolutions passed by the city council, that inas much as it was less than 60 days prior to the general election, that no elec tion would be ordered to fill the va cancy. Mr. Earhardt, who had been elected recorder, then took the oath of office, the oath being administered by Eu gene S. Blease, Esq., the city attorn-ey. Mayor Langford expressed the wish f the city council, that the new re corder might have abundant success in his office and thus approve the wis dom of the city council in creating the position. Mr. Earhardt will hold his first court an Tuesday morning, if there are any cases for trial. I'n assuming the duties of the posi tion he delivlered- the following re marks to the police officers of the city: Gentlemen: I am advised that ;our relations as officers, except your duties :irectly connected with this court, re purely advisory; and what I shall 5ay to you I hope will not be taken s presumption on my part, but for Four, my and the city's good. The establishment of *a recorder's -ourt in a small city is an innovation n South Carolina. Newberry is set ifig a -pace for other progressive ci ies to follow; Charleston, Columbia Ld Greenville being the only cities in he State having such court. In mak ng this experiment in the city gov rnment, gentlemen of the police force, t is up to you and me to make, it a ccess. In assuming the duties and aking the obligation I have it is my >urpose, as far ap in me lies, to make ta success or place the responsibility or its failure where, it belongs. I ;hall not assume, in this office, any owers not delegated to me by the tatutes. It is mine to* attend this ~ourt and hear such cases as you may >ing before me in a (air and impar ial manner; which I shall do, irre pective of friend or foe. It is up to rou and me to give this city a govern nent of law and order, and in doing his, I want to impress forcibly upon rou the fact that you will be sustained y the citizens generally. The city :ouncil has a set of 'ordinances, pub ished in bogk form, one of which I resume each of you has; take it and tudy it; inform yourselves tho.rough y upon the laws of the town; be alert tt all times, feeling assured that in ihatever you do that is right you will > sustained and your hands upheld iy this court. The city council passes >rdinances and it is your duty to see1 hat they are not violated, and wen hey are violated that the violator or !iolators are brought to justice. Should. ie oZ you feel, at any time, that for ny reason you can not do this-what eu have taken a solemn oath to do he manly thing to do is to surrender pour position. You should be goen d solely by the ordinances-no mem ier of -the city government has a right, bould one desire to do .so, to nullify a aw-thus causing you sto violate your path. The only way properly to nega &ve a law is to repeal it. The pub-' ic will look to you and me for the en orcement of law and order in New perry. Much wil'be expected of this ourt. I can deal with only those cases rou put before me; so you can see how nuch depends upon you. I know that 'ou are all true,. honest and faithful nen and mean to do the right a'nd roper thing; and in doing that I vant'you to always feel that when the* natter is brought to this court your Lctions shall be sustained. Be keen ud active, always on the alert for aw-breakers-rememberin1g at all! imes that the eyes of the .public are! ipon us. As before stated, our official1 elations are purelyl advisory, and we hould*make them pleasant and agree-1 tble to ourselves and beneficial to the ,ity. No higher tribute can be paid m officer of the law than for it to be .ruthfully said that he did his duty aithfully and fearlessly, and one of vhom this can not be said is not wor y to w'ear the insignia of his office.1 entlemen I tahnk you for your at :ention. Death of a Twin. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. S. Derrick lost one f their two-months-old twins, Hayne Ileyward, by death Thursday morning i.t 1 o'clock.

HOT SUPPERS AND RESULTS. Dr. W. A. Dunn Busy in Surgery-One Negro Shot, One Cut in Two Places. There were at least two hot suppers in the county Saturday night amongst the negroes, both with the usual re sv!. Monroe Leitzsey gave a hot supper Saturday night on his place near St. Phillips church. There were some negroes in the yard gambling and it seems they had Monroe's lantern. Mon roe decided that he needed the lan tern and went to get it and was in formd that he must not take it. Be ing his lantern, he felt he had a right to it and proceeded to pick it up. As he did so, Jim Wilson, one of the negroes in the game, drew his pistol and shot Leitzsey in the face just be low the left eye. Leitzsey came to I Dr. W. A. Dunn to have the wound dressed and while dressing it "the ball dropped out of Leitzsey's mouth. Dr. Dunn says that the wound is not se rious. Another hot.supper was in progress on one of Mr. S. P. Crotwell's places near town. It is stated that at this supper there was a good deal of whis key. In the row Ben Jones was cut across the face and back by Will Bax ter. Dr. W. A. Dunn took eight stitches in the wounds on Jones, but the doctor says the wounds are not serious. Bax ter evidently had a dull knife. Dr. Dunn had another call on Sun day afternoon to set a broken leg for a negro on Mr. H. L. Felker's Doolan place. This was the result of a wrest ling match. It would appear from this that Dr. Dunn -was very much in de mand for surgery during Saturday night and Sunday. Constable T. P. Adams went to the hot supper at the Crotwell place, and while .the ground was literally cov-. ered with empty bottles he found very little whiskey In possession of any' of the parties. * * * * * e* *S * * OC * ** * * * SOCIAL.* #* ********* ****8 The Emery circle had its first fall meeting, with Miss Moriet Martin, Fri day morning.
