A good many people from the city have been to the scene of the Jacobs tragedy, in automobiles and other conveyances.

There was a hailstorm on the Lewie Branch on Saturday afternoon which damaged the crops in that neighborhood. Four weddings in one week isn't such a bad record for our town. ?Clinton Chronicle. Xo, it's good. Clinton always did have a good reputation. The Laurensville Herald caflls the firemen "smoke -eaters." That will pass. Laurens and Newberry are alike in the matter of firemen, both cities having good sets. If a man comes to you talking about the hot weather, kick him hard for the good of mankind.?rangOeburg Newberry for a few days, on his way to his pose of duty in Charleston, from the Abbeville tournament of State firemen, after rendering valuable service in the ranks of the Newberry squad. When a man is- heard to say "I am a good farmer," or a good lawyer, or merchant, or doctor, etc., it sounds out of tfce way. But it sounds all right to hear one say "I am a good roads man" you can put the em? / phasis on the good in this instance without the least display of vanity. Prof. H. M. Henry, of Newberry, in"A ; r. + nf CX lini. SH UULUr iil llioiux J at ? auu^i uni Uiii versity, ,was in Laurens Thursday, seeking information in regard to slavery in this section before' the war.

Aull, of The Newberry Herald and News?/News and | Courier's report of press association, j The colored masonic hall, near Han- , |nali churcn in tne Utopia secuou, : burned on Friday night. It is not j known whether it was struck by lightning or set on fire by an incendiary. Monday just did miss being salesday. It will be here next week, when the master will be here. He took a good time to be absent from town. It was convenient for his trip. The 4th of July falls on Friday. Nothing doing, out of the ordinary. Ther, are the moving pictures to see, 'if any one wants to celebrate the day. When Mr. Hill gets to be postmaster, who is going to get the supervisorship? That is the interesting question. There always is an interesting question in Newberry. The "first bloom of the season" appeared simultaneously in about one thousand Southern cotton fields last week.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat? But they all like to get the first on? in from their neighborhood. To tho&e who won first prize at Abbeville yesterday we might state that for speed-making Greenwood )ong since discarded the horse. We now j have an auto truck.?Greenwood ! # Journal. Good for Greenwood. R. Y. Leavell and Son shipped two ] fine caskets for interment of the bones of the six members of Mr. John D. Jacobs' family, the remains of the six persons being buried in the two j caskets. rjLie fellow that doesn't work seems I to get along better than the fellow j that toils daily. It is just one of those things that we can't understand.? j Clinton Chronicle. That has always i been a puzzling observation to us. It is a mystery. Newberry furnishes the best posted ' survivor of Gettysburg in the person of CoL D. A. Dickert. And he and Capt. W. W. Riser are the only two from this part of the country that heard both the first gun at Fort Sum- | ter and the last at Greensboro. | The big furniture men's meeting I , last week in Charlotte was represent- ' ed from this city by a youthful fur- j niture man?Mr. Marvin Summer?but he was able to represent it well. The Southern Retail Furniture association is a big thing. That the lightning struck nobody dead during the terrific storm of Sun! day morning is remarka'ble. . We hear; i i iof no damage other than the blowing: !_1 j l.illf ~ ' 1 aown or some trees, tue Killing 01 a i i i ! calf of two, and the striking of a | f chimney at Mr. I. E. McDowell's ; house. ! < IV AX AD | The Dorchester Eagle counsels the public not to be impatient with their':' city council, as there is some criti' cism that "very little has been done !so far by the present administration in the way of improvements." Filling ! the office of mayor or alderman is a ! h o rH irvh u JVM. If you are deaf you think it a hard j affliction, or blind or dumb; hard to! have lost only one of your senses, j Think of the person you read about j i in the daily newspapers some time i j last week. He was deaf, dumt,, blind,; ' crippled and insane. Some people I don't have enough to grumble about. On Sunday afternoon lightning struck a washing machine at Mr. Andrew Fulmer's in Crosson street, tearing off two legs, tore up two trees in the corner of the yard, and gave iMr. Fulmer quite a severe shock, from the stunning of which he had 1-.

One reason for this may be that he is drawn to them besides they remind him of the fact the photograph business here now is like the newspaper business once was in Newberry, the two places run by family connections. The Rock Hill Evening Herald of last Friday speaks of a man named , |i Rastus Swanger who was arrested by | the deputy sheriff, and "fetched" I I from Lynchburg to Yorkville. His name must be what "fetched" him. If there was a man in Newberry by that name, Deputy Dorroh v.*ould "fetch"' him quick for cause. In the event of the appointment of' Mr. W. A. Hill as postmaster, andt hat j i seems to be a certainity, the vacancy j in the office of supervisor -will be fill-d by appointment by the governor, j' This statement is made for the infor-j mation of those who thought that j < there would have to be an election for i i i Supervisor Hill's successor. T'h- News and Courier one day last week had a good little editorial on parks. Among other truthful points, it asserts that development of the park idea is a thing which tends to i 1 X* _ J ?11 maKe me morr proiuauie in uunars and cents as well as more pi asant 0 and more healthful." Lots of people d will be glac'l to read this. We know 0 The Idler will. n a The Dorchester Eagle last week got p off two excellent ideas which we hope Wuihprrv will adont. Keen to the i; "~ x- * - I J right in walking and riding and don't let water stand in the ditches oil your s premises. Two old subjects, but the 0 Christian religion is an old matter, as well as are many other good things s for that matter. It is well to call at- 0 tention to these eld ideas. One thing we heard the lightning e did during the storm of Sunday morn- c ing was the striking of a telephone wire at Mr. S. P. Crotwell's residence, s running into the house and setting o fire to the window curtains and doing other little damage. It would prob- P ably have been a serious fire had not o Mr. Crotwell been awake to extinguish $ the flames. The Newberry Herald and News * says: "The Orangeburg Times and d Democrat says that a false alarm of s fire was rung in on Saturday night about twelve. There is one place s where they have no false alarms of 0 fire and it begins with "h" and ends with "1". The midnight fires burn 0 forever." No Orangeburg-er will ever a know that place of which he speaks.

The victims being relatives of citizens of this place c makes it all the more terrible. The j relatives of the murdered family have 0 the deepest sympathy of everybody in i their great distress. The sudden news a of this awful crime was staggering to a the community at large and was a j shock to the whole town and county. e A Newberry man is a grandfather. e That is not so astonishing, or singular, or peculiar, or remarkable. The i' only different than ordinary thing about it is that the "man" part of it begins with a capital M and has a a double little n in it. Of course it is c not Mr. Joseph Mann, not being new s to him; consequently it is Mr. W. S. s Mann. Mr. George Long can tell you a all about it. You will find him with n Flwnrt-Pp-rrv fn ^ rnt a At Trinity. e There will be children's day at *L{ Trinity next Saturday, July 5th, be- ^ ginning at 10.30 o'clock. Public is 11 cordially invited. ,m n Mrs. J. Y. Metz. E Again the death angel has visited i ? o our midst and plucked therefrom one of the purest flowers that ever bloom- ^ ed, casting a pall of gloom over the ^ hearts of many citizens of Gaffney. On last Sunday, 22nd, p Mrs. Cecilia eMtz answered the grim reaper's final summons and j gently passed over the river to re- a eeive the reward of a noble life's long e service. During her existence of 76 ^ years, the last 17 of which have been a spent in Gaffney, this good woman has b made for herself thousands of friends, ^ who will cherish her memory and b keep it green in their hearts until they themselves shall have answered the I same call to their last resting place. Prior to her marriage Mrs. Metz liv- n ed in Charleston, and she also had many friends and relatives in that ^ fV city, who will join the good people of * Gaffney in extending their heart-felt s p sympathy to the bereaved family. She is survived by her husband, Mr. J. Y. Metz, and three children, Mr. o Prince Metz and Misses Dora and Par- , d thenia Metz all of whom live in Gaff- b ney. t: The interment took place at Oak- > land cemetery on Monday afternoon a at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Metz was a devout v Roman Catholic and the ceremony was t< conducted after the principles of h?r n faith by Father A. K. Gwynn of Greenville. y The News extends its deepest sympathy to her numerous friends.? n Cherokee News, 26th. I 4 The deceased was known by some I e of the Newberry people as she has been here, years ago, on visits to her i-Via latp Messrs. T. F. and Ui UlUtl O, R. H. Greneker. Mrs. Meetz has another surviving daughter, Mrs. Minnie Britton, of At- B Ianta. The subject of this sketch was a rj truly pious Christian woman if ever j jr there was one such on the face of the! g earth. She has gone to her reward, ic of the faithful who remain true to'a the end. I Y i S03IE DIVIDENDS DECLARED. Number of Newberry Institutions Declare Semi-Annual Dividends. Payable Today.

A Knocks Him Down With His Baby M His Arms.?Also Knocks His M Wife Down, t I Mr. ".Bounce Dennis, ai ms nomc , near Stoney Battery, had a narrow escape from death by lightning on Friday evening about 7.30 o'clock. After that narrow escape he came near being drowned. He and his wife were standing on the steps to his dwelling house- when the lightning struck a nearby tree. Mr. Dennis had the baby in his arms. The shock from the bolt knocked them down to the ground. When Mrs. Dennis regained J consciousness she found the baby under Mr. Dennis, who wras still unconscious. Rescuing the baby, who i I was not hurt, she made all possible haste to the home of Mr, Dennis' brother, Mr. "Bub" Dennis, some distance off but the nearst. She went to phone for a doctor and to get other assistance. Without delay they returned to the place and found Mr._ j Dennis nearly drowned from the heavy^ rain which had fallen.
