We have tried hard to get the names of visitors coming and going during the holidays, but it is a difficult undertaking; so, if any one is omitted, it is our misfortune rather than our fault.

I ' All of the Xewberrv institutions, 'banks and other corporations, closed i the old year in fine financial condition. ! Some did not pay semi-annual dividends, but that is no evidence that the financal condition is unhealthy. On tue contrary the reverse is true. Instead of paying dividends the profits ' were carried to the surplus account : and the stock value is thus increased. ! Those that paid dividends as far as i we have been able to ascertain are: i The Newberry Cotton mills, a semiannual dividend of 5 per cent, on a capital of $-">00,000. The Commercial bank a semi-annual dividend of 6 per cent, oji a capital of% $">0,000. I The National bank a semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent, on a capital of $100,000. j The Exchange bank a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent, on a capital of $oU,UUU. j The Xewberry Savings bank has deI Glared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent, on a capital of $50,000. Tue Peoples National bank of Prosperity, declared a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent, on a capital of ' $25,000. | The Bank of Prosperity declared a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent, on a capital of $25,000. The iFarmers and Merchants bank J of Little Mountain paid a semi-annual 1 dividend of 4 per cent, on a capital of ; $20,000. The Glenn-Lowry Manufacturing ( company, of Whitmire, also paid a j semi-annual dividend. | The Newberry Security Loan & investment company paid a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent. There may have been some others. 1 If there are others they ar.e not ineluded because the facts are not before us. We would be glad to mention all of the dividend paying institutions. INQUEST CONDUCTED. Vor/linf \"nirrn f'onifi fn U Doilth Y VX.UHI/ V v unit/ U' AAI>7 From Gun Shot Wounds?Gun in Hands Parties Unknown. I Mention was made in The Herald and News last week of a negro being killed in Maybinton during Christmas week which at first was thought to be suicide but suspicious circumstances caused Magistrate Henderson to hold an inquest. The name of the dead tiogro was Hayes uiaaney. ! The inquest was held and the jurysaid that "Hayes Gladney came to his death from a gunshot wound fired by i some one unknown to the jury.' The body of/the dead negro was found in a cotton patcu, but no evidence developed at the inquest placing :he homicide 011 any one. Several j tracks were found near the body, and : some negroes were known to buy shells and among them Gladney himself.

I It was very encouraging to the j teachers and all concerned that the i attendance was good and tihat the children responded so well with their ; songs. The most enjoyable and benej ficial part of the programme was the j bountiful dinner and the social inter| course this encouraged. The name, Hunter-DeWalt, was giv] en in honor of Dr. Hunter and his i wife, who was a DeWalt. Dr. and 1 Mrs. Hunter gave five acres of land i | to the school, t)hree acres for dem | onstration farm and two ror scnooi and play ground. The demonstration farm has been planted in accordance to plans of the United States government. Since July the first 36 children have moved into the district and others will enter at an early date.
