ONE MAN KILLED ANOTHER FLEES UNION DEPUTY SHOOTS K. L. HENDERSON. I * I >Y. P. Scott, Alleged Accomplice With Dead Man in Terrorizing House >ot Caught. | Union, August 5.?At Lo^khart, in j this county, about 4 o'clock yesterday j morning, R. L. Henderson was j shot and killed by Russell Gibson, a deputy sheriff, at that place. It seems that Henderson and W. P. Scott had recently gone to Lockhart from Whitmire and were boarding at the house of a man named Broom. About S o'clock Sunday evening these two went into the boarding house after supper time and Mrs. Broom told them that they were late and could get only cold supper. They demanded a hot meal and finally, it is charged, threw a fruit jar at one of the women in th? house, cutting her arm. Mrs. Broom's son then came up and was beaten and upon the approach of the husband he was covered with a pistol by Henderson. One of the men walked out and knocked down a young man who was passing with a young woman. Then, it is alleged, one of them, presumably Henderson, fired his pistol at T. I. Barber, superintendent of Lockhart mills, who came upon hearing the noise. Sheriff Fant was notified of the trouble and went to the scene at once and a search was made for the troublemakers. Finally Deputy Gibson and two or tnree otners came upon ocou and Henderson in the woods near Lockhart between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning. Upon their showing fight Gibson shot Henderson. Scott escaped and has not yet been captured. TO ERADICATE TICK, Pest Injures Hide as Well as the Body of Cattle. Washington, Aug. 4.?The presence of the tick among cattle in the Southern States not only lessens the value cf cattle on the hoof, government evperts said in a report published today but causes a lower grading of hides which means to tho producer a loss of many ihousands of dollars. The ex* perts clainr the Southern cattle raiser loses $1.26 on every hide infested with the tick. Campaigns to eradicate the pest have been waged with considerable success by bureau of animal industry veteri-' narians. Tennessee probably will be the first State to be entirely free from the quarantine against the tick, which already has been eradicated in fiftyone counties. Cattle raisers have spent less than fifty cents per head in the campaign in Tennessee while they have gained about $7 per head thereby. There are 500,000 head of cattle in t'ne counties freed of ticks, and the immediate benefit of these owners agricultural experts say has been about $3,500,000. College Reunion at Delmar Lutheran Church Visitor, 31st. The Newberry College reunion at Delmar, Saldua county, S. C., on Friday, July 25th, was attended by an immense crowd of people from Saluda, Lexington, Edgefield and Newberry counties. Talks along educationel lines were made by Judge Thomas S. Sease of Spartanburg, Mendel L. Smith, speaker of the State legislature, Rev. C. P. Boozer of Leesville, President J. Henry Harms, Professors E. B. Setzler and S. J. Derrick, of ?1 J w OonnAlrrtoTJn isewoerry a.uu r. uuaui of Columbia. C. J. Ramage of the Saluda bar presided. With tlje exception of Newfberry, Saluda has for a long time furnished more students for the Newberry college lthan any other county in the State, and this annual reunion is always largely attended. It is a great' occasion for a reunion of college friendships between teacher and student, and between fellow students. At the same time it affords an excellent opportunity for a canvass of prospective college students from that community. An important resolution, passed at the reunion yesterday, was that after this, the Delmar :v?o ffk-r fho crnriiiflfpc and I ItJUUiUil is w u\~ J.V1 students of both Newberry and Summerland colleges. A Thorough Skeptic. The cloakrooms of the houses of congress are famous market-places for the exchange of humor, and now and then a good story finds its way through them into the legislative hall itself, and so into the solid type of the Congressional Record. Here is one told by Mr. Heflin of Alabama, to the delight of his colleagues: "I am reminded of a story of ola Uncle Johnny. A friend said: 'Uncle Johnny, they are going to build a railroad through this settlement,' and Uncle Johnny replied: 'My judgment is they will never build it.' j "But his friend said: They are sur vefing now just a few miles from here,' to which Uncle Johnny observed: "There is a slight difference between road surveying and road building.' " 'Well, Uncle Johnny,' said his friend, a few weeks later, ' they are digging dirt over on the hill now,' and {the old man replied: 'Dirt-digging and road-completing are two powerful dif-; ferent propositions.' i "Finally his friend said: 'Uncle tnvmnx' fhpv havp cnt. the road made! they have finished the track, and the j train has arrived; the engine is out there on the track now. Go and look at it." "Uncle Johnny went out and looked at it; cold and lifeless the engine stood; and when they asked: 'What do you think of it now. Uncle Johnny ny?' he said: 'They'll never budge 'er. Why,' he says, 'I don't see any traces or single-trees, and besides that it ain't a fit track for mules, nohow." " 'But you see,' his friend said, 'they are going to run it with steam. They will unite the forces of wood and wrater and fire, and send it down the track pulsing like a thing of life.' But Un:le Johnny said with conviction: 'They'll never budge her.' " 'At last, when they had got steam up, the engine went down the track, whistle blowing and sparks flying. " 'Well, Uncle Johnny,' said the man, 'what do you say now?' And he replied: 'By golly! they'll never stop her.'" Tlie Onion. The wholesomeness of usually strong enough to assert itself, but it also has the indorsement of the family doctor, who says that many people imagine that to express a liking for onions denotes a vulgar taste, but this much-despised vegetable has | many excellent qualities. It contains ? 1 n-t nitrncor OllC TTI31- I H ictigt; uauitj ui uiuvbv^v?u , ter and uncrystali^able sugar with a [ pungent sulphuric j oil. If children ! were encouraged to eat onions, many an illness might be prevented, and many a doctor's bill saved. If baby has a cold, or seems croupy, frequent doses of onion syrup will give wonderful relief. The syrup is obtained by cutting the onion into slices, and covering each with brown sugar, and putting one on the top of another in a basin In a sickroom you cannot have a better disinfectant than the onion. When tviken inwardly it bas a wonderful capacity for absorbing poisons in the body. Any Two >Yomen. They were at the silk counter and the one who was buying held some folds of pink taffeta under her chin,1 says the Washington Star. "Honest Mame, is it becoming?" "Indeed it is, Carrie, I wouldn't tell you so if I didn't think it." "Well, I guess I'll take it?three yards please. Oh, have I got to take the whole remnant? Well, all right, only I won't have any use for the other quarter yard." While the clerk was off wrapping | up the purchase the Mame girl reached down the counter a bit of delicate blue charmeuse. "This is what you oughta bought, nrv,^ t xroar this shade it always U 11C1X X ft vc*.-. makes my eyes as blue as the sky. You know the eyes always take on the color you wear." "Then why didn't ym say so before I went and bought the other? You don't suppose I want to look as if I had the pinkeyes, do you?" "Oh, you silly? Pink's just the very color you want to take that pale look off your cheeks?.And say, isn't this cross barred plaid lovely?you'd a looked dandy in this?." ^ "And had my eyes look cross barred? No, thank you?,1 declare ? j -A. Mame Blank, I am so mau HI ?uu iui | advising me to get that -hateful old pink that I've a mind to? Then she stopped to look at a third young woman, elegantly dressed, who had bustled to the counter with a sample of taffeta in her hand . "Have you any more of this Nell pink? My dressmaker has just phoned for two yards." The clerk regretted that the bundle in his hands represented the last of the pink taffeta which had been bought by the young lac'.y. And the young lady responded: I "Oh, well, I don't want to spoil your dress for you?.I've just as lieve have I the blue?or the cross barred?. I I guess I'll take the blue. Three yards lis enough.?" So she got the blue charmeuse and was going away satisfied with the change when the Mame girl put in: "Say, Carrie, I wouldn't a done tha - * T vmvH n -looked dandy in K 1 WctS .? wu. i vu u Nell pink." Young Ornithologist. The Sunday school teacher had discoursed long and eloquently upon the wonders of heaven, the glories of the tropical foliage in the gardens, and the angels with their beautiful white wings walking up and down the marble steps. "Now, I want one of you little girls f*to ask a question about the heaven ' which I have described to you," he concluded. There was a long pause. Finally after a lot of coaxing a little girl arose from her seat and asked: "Please sir, if the angels have wings why do they walk up and down the steps?" The teacher was considerably taken aback. In sheer desperation he turnorJ tho hnve nf tho rOscc and invitpd ! them to answer the question. Presently a small boy stood up with a grip on his face. "I know teacher." "Well, my little man. Speak out so the class can hear you." "I guess they was moltin." came the instant reply.?New Orleans States. THE OBSERVER SEES LIGHT. Displays Splendid Spirit in Editorial on "Mighty Poor Policy."? Commendation. Editor The Herald and News. City: We have just read editorial headed, "Mighty Poor Policy," in the Newberry Observer, and we want to commend the same to you for your most careful thought and consideration. We have seen many Newberry men candidates for State positions, and often wondered why it was that the editor of the Newberry Observer took so much pains to print articles detrimental to the interests of those candidates. We have seen resolutions sent out by the ministers of our town against Newberry candidates. We have heard Newberry people curse and abuse each other at home and abroad, and seem to want to keep any Newberrian from going forward in life, and we have been at a great loss to understand why the people of New berry should be so bitter toward each J other. When Anderson has a candidate for a judgeship, when Greenville has a candidate for a judgeship, or Spartanburg or Sumter, or any other counties of the State?particularly Charleston?the entire bar rushes to Columbia to make the fight for their home man, laying aside personal feelings. When Newberry has a candidate many rush to Columbia to fight him before the legislature, and to show up all the evils which they allege, whether they be imaginary or real. The editor of the Observer has struck the proper line. What a pity he and many others have not been following it heretofore. Our county has never had a United States senate. She has had two chief justices of the supreme court. It has been many years since she has had a congressman, and then she had one only for a few minutes. She has now the first governor that she has ever had, notwithstanding she is one of the oldest counties in the State, and has had many of the ablest men in the State in the halls of legislation, at the bar, and elsewhere. Yet, as the editor of the Observer expresses it, the "pull-me-down" idea has been the cry of a small coterie. Yea, as he expresses it, internecine struggle^ of this sort destroy community interests and community spirit. We are glad that the Observer ha? struck this happy lick and seen the glories of a new rising sun upon Newberry's political future. Had the same spirit been displayed towards the present governor of our State, how much different would have been his fight, and how much more pleasant the recollections of his struggles and his labors among the people of the county of his birth. However, we do not suppose these matters worry him very much as he ies now ! sitting in the high temple and watches the others go by as private citizens. Get in line, Mr. Editor, with Mr. Wallace, and stand by Newberry and Newberry's people. This is what you have been doing for more than a quarter c-f a century, but I have no doubt this late editorial of the Observer will be hailed as the new gospel of a late evangel. Home Man. A Writer of Fiction. Irwin S. Cobb, the short story writer, recently returned from a Western trip to learn that a dear friend had been snared in a lawsuit. He hurried down to the friend's lawyer. "I want you to call me as a character witness," said he. "Why, Jack Is the i dearest, kindest, most hoc est white man in the world. I've got to go on the stand for that "boy."
