NEWBERRY DEFEATS CLINTON. Lutheran Boys Scalped the Presbyterians to a Lively Tone on Monday Afternoon. 1 Newberry defeated the Presbyterian college on Monday afternoon 14 to 5, by hitting the ball hard in the last four innings of play. Eidson, Newberry's old reliable, pitched a splendid game, holding the hard-hitting Presbyterians to five scattered hits, while the scarlet and gray batsmen secured no less than 14 safeties off of the two pitchers who faced them. With the exception of one inning, Eidson was never in danger of being scored on, and was steady throughout the game. Newberry's i r? +Vio u'pc np/rfpot with thft " VI XV AU UV*U *? ^ v? w ?y - exception of one inning caused by a silght rain, which made the ball veryhard to handle. Through the fifth inning the contest was a pitcher's battle between Eidson and Anderson, and each side failed to get a man beyond second. The scoring started in the sixth when Boozer singled through short and Smeltzer I ad Flnvd par.h beat out infield hits, filling the bases with no one down. Wise was equal to the emergency by lining one out to left which Simpson dropped after a hard try, and this, coupled with a wild heave by Hill, gave Newberry four runs. Umpire Bailey called time after the first half of the sventh on account of rain. After an interval of about 15 minutes play was resumed. The Preshvtprinn<? scored five runs in their half i of the seventh on errors and two scatch hits, caused by wet grounds. Smeltzer, first man up in the eighth singled through short. Floyd sacrificed him to second and a moment later "Clean-Up" Wise landed on one of An .derson's benders for a four-sacKer to deep centre, practically breaking up the game. Hill now replaced Anderson, and the first ball he delivered was met by Keitt for a triple. Keitt scored on a neatly placed single over second by Perritt In the ninth Newberry clinched the game and turned an otherwise intensely interesting contest into a farce by circling the bases seven times on hard hitting and a few errors. Eidson's pitching and the batting of Wise, Keitt and Smeltzer featured the game, and pick-ups by Boozer and Kent were of the sensational variety. Shealy caught a pretty game. The Newberry boys play WofforJ in Spartanburg on April IS and 19. On next Monday, April 22, Xewberrv and the Presbyterian college will play at college park.

The Observer furnishes The Herald and Xews a copy of its reply to the letter of the editor of The Herald and Xews to the editor of the Observer. The reply of the Observer is as follows: Editor Aull's reply to my request for an explanation of a paragarph published in his nanp.r nf t\hft 12th is DTint UOUVU *11 w ed in full in this issue. The reply is not satisfactory; and I might go farther and say it is lacking in frankness. Mr. Aull ignores the point of my objection to the paragraph quoted, and goes off on things that have absolutely nothing to do with the case. Of course I understand that The Herald and Xews is not the Chautauqua association: if it had been then I should iiuvc c^;ed the explanation from the association. The slur was not prepared nor written nor published by the i -X T "VT*-. A * ? 1 1 f ?> 1 f association, dui uy .ui. .nui in his own paper. I think the president of the association did exactly rig'.: in assuring me that the association did not authorize the slur as soon ? s he found out that I so regarded it? t..is veiled insinuation that some printing .establishment in Newberry might attempt to get advertising from the business Jaouses 01 ixt^w uei i / uuuii tie false pretense that it was "authorized" by the association to do so. What establishment? Not Mr. Aull's of course; for he would not warn the public against himself. If there was no other printing establishment in mind, it seems to me?and I have no doubt it will strike the public the same j.1- _; i ^ fViat AT r way Uie Simple SLaic-nicm UHH Hunter was authorized to make contracts for the booklet that the associa| tion is to print, that there will be no I other official program, and no other advertising solicited in connection 1 with the Chautauqua association cov- r ered the ground completely. Why go further, and say "no one else has been i authorized to solicit advertising for E any publication authorized by the as- ^ anHaHnn"??the natural and in- r w _ Jf evitable inference of the language i being that there might be some one else in town who might try to solicit advertising under the guise of author- ?, ity from the Chautauqua association, _ C and warning the business men against ^ such person. If there is any other r meaning in the paragraph quoted, I j I ? ? "?f. on/1 TWr A 1111 savs <<rTViP (J(All 11UL oce 11, ttUU AJii. W, Herald and News means just what It says."::- . And tiiat is his explanation. I must say that it comes with a poor grace from one to whom I have shown so many courtesies and favors. It may throw some light for the c reader on this subject to go back a r year, when some person tried to make it appear that the Observer solicited advertising for itself under the claim that it was getting out some sort of publication for the Chautauqua. I heard the report then, and knew of course that it was calculated to poison the minds of people whose good opin- ^ ir>n T value: but I concluded to let it . pass, because I did not wish,to enter ^ a newspaper controversy that might c interfere with the success of Chautau- . qua week; which was close at hand, f and to which I had given, and was giving, free and earnest support. But if j this sort of insinuation is to be a regu8 lar feature of Chautauqua occasions it nlay be as well to settle it now. So here goes for that: f1 j When it was decided last year to r have Chautauqua week in Newberry I t decided to issue a special industrial j edition of the Observer?as The Her- t aid and News is preparing to do now, ^ though on a much larger scale no f doubt. This edition was to be gotten g out entirely with Our own regular j force, with the addition of a young e lady for a few we^k.s to help solicit c ! ^ acin or onrf to handle the write- I o -- ? c ups. In pursuance of this purpose, I ? published the following statement in t the Observer of May 2nd: f Industrial Issue. C "About the mi^Ue of June the Ob- 1 I jo-i-i:* iTiHncfrni] df*- - i>t?X Vf I Will lOCUv^ 111! 1.1U scriptive and historical illustrated sup- ' pie nent in magazine form devoted to Newberry, past, present and future. ? The edition v ill consist of a guaranteed s minimum circulation of 3,000 copies, printed on exUa good quality of paper, 1 with magazine cover. The advertising contracts for a major portion of the cnQ^p Hpvoted to advertising have al- a ready been secured, and with one or t two exceptions the business men of ^ Newberry have recognized in the pro- j. posed publication as presented to them r a rare opportunity to reach the people j of this section, and have responded c liberally and generously; in fact, to an r extent which guarantees the success j of the proposition. ^ OHeorvpr hni? onntemnlated ?.

This is to certify that Lgrees to take space to an amount of ! in the Industrial Supple nent of the Newberry Observer, to be1 ssued within a period of three months ram date, and to pay the amount specified in this contract immediately upm publication o? a mi:iimuF of 3,000 :opies of said Industrial Edition. Paynent to be made to the Observer Printng Company. The advertising solicitors met with i liberal response?as I have no doubt The Herald and News will this year. 3ut, in spite of the notice and the conract?both as plain as I could possi)ly make them; in spite of the fact .hat the advertising was not to be paid or until the special edition was pub- : ished?when if there had been any leception or misrepresentation it vould be detected at once and would ! -itiate the contract, in addition to inuring the Observer's reputation?in ' ipite of this, it was whispered about hat the Observer was getting adverising by claiming to represent some i >ublication of the Chautauqua associa- 1 ion. Hearing this, I immediately set ibout to trace the report. The only )erson that I could hear of who, it was tlleged, had given an advertisement ' mder that suppositon was Mr. Sonlenberg. I went to him at once, and old him what I had heard, adding that c u" J ""'ni Viic. ovorticin<r nndpr / 1 lie iiau givcxi axxo ca,utvn.v.?.0 v.. hat understanding I wanted to cancel lis contract and release him. His re- ' )ly was that he wished his contract to j1 ,tand; and it did stand, and he paicf toy ji t very cheerfully when the industrial 1 edition appeared. It is possible Mr. i 5onnenberg thought when He gave the idvertising to Mr. Gray that he was ' jiving it to the Chautauqua associaion?I never asked him about that, ' or I was perfectly certain that Mr j < >pv did not Diirposely mislead him. [< t would have been an extremely fool- i ;h thing to do; and, whatever c!re 1 ray be said of Mr. Gray, he is no foo!. i I H all events, Mr. Gray is not with the ' )bserver now, and has not been for : omething like six months; and when ; Jr. Au 11 wrote and published the ofensive paragraph he knew it. Mr. Aull says: 'The Observer has ls much right to bid for the publica ion (meaning the official DooKiet to i ?e gotten out by the association ** as j las The Herald and News." That haslothing whatever to do with the case. am not concerned about that puliation in the least Since it has been " nentioned, as a matter of fact though, : will say the Observer was not in- ' rited to bid last year. I have no quar- ] el with the association on that ac- ' :ount. If T am not invited to bid this j1 -ear T shall make no kick about it, and I hall be perfectly satisfied with any | j irrangements the association may;; nake with regard to the official book- < et or anything else that concerns the "hautauqua week; just as I am per- 1 i iectly satisfied yith their selection of Mr. Hunter to canvass for advertising for the official hoklet I will go further than that, and assure the association that I will gladly publish anything?within reasonabe bounds of course?that they may think will help to make the occasion a success?provided it is furnished me simultaneously with its publicatiou in other papeifc ?iQa T Aid n VAAT flCO. * ? -o-I am not concerned about advertising; nor booklets, official or otherwise} nor about any money proposition that the association may have on hand, or in contemplation; but I am concerned for the good name of this newspaper. And that is why I have written this article. Editor the Observer. . ? ? ?* Answered in Its Own Paper. The Laurens Advertiser in its last issue slinggs ink as follows: "Judging from the baseball write-ups in the Newberry Herald and News it seems that the poor visiting teams never make a creditable play, while tnoro to <11 uro vo o Violrv rtf clrtTV orniind tuv/iv Ahj ai vt aj o a uuiu u*. j ai vuuvk a majority of the Newberryites. Why not given both sides?" The reason is that there is only one side to give when Newberry is run up against. This is again demonstrated by the Advertiser's Clinton correspond-: ent in the same issue of the paper. "me Diggest crowd or tne season gathered at the P. C. diamond Mon- I day afternoon to see what turned out to be the poorest specimen of the great American game seen in Clinton in many a day?except possibly among the small boys. The score fails to tell the taie?13 to 5 in favor of Newberry. But every team has its off-day, and the P. C. boys can play good ball as they have demonstrated at the other games. This is the second game they have lost v out of six this season. They were / ? confident of winning over Newberry as several fans had assured them they bad a better team. Their friends are sure they will reinstate themselves." Yes, indeed, "the poorest specimen" because Clinton was defeated by a score 01 10 o in iavor 01 :\ewoerry. rhirteen was an unlucky number for Clinton. Of course "they wjre confident of winning over Newberry, as several fans had assured thein they had a 1" r.ter team." Thirteen to five 'ooks li.i- it, doesn't it? It was cer tain ly tne r. u. s "on aay.- jjou i ue so confident next time. The "hali~of sdory" still shines from the Xewber- / rians. * ^jriDeath of Airs. Johnson. Mrs. Eliza Johnson, widow of W.
