Wells of the opera; I house has secured t'nis picture for the. patrons of his playhouse and at con- i siderable expense, and should have the I patronage of the people of Newberry.1 i A great many of our people went to I Columbia to see the picture of "The Birth of a Nation," and those who have j seen tnis "Battle Cry of Peace" say j it excels "The Brith of a Nation" in its j wealth of interesting material and in the lessons it teaches. 1*he New York papers speak of it as the finest picture tver shown. And tne Union Times, in our adjoining county, says that it is V _well worth a dollar to see it. "It portrays the defenseless condi? x tion of our country; the consequences, i to whic'n. this condition may lead, and j the way to avoid these consequences.'' j It will be worth your while to see | this picture. It deals with a very live! j question now before the American peo-1 pie. It will be at the opera house two! nights and afternoons?Friday and Saturday of this week. j The legislature meets next Tuesday. We notice that some of t'ne papers say the time will be devoted this session to ! perfecting some of the constructive j measures of the last session. We have no advice to give except to suggest that it would be well to repeal some of the so-called constructive measures and see if there could be some arrangement to reduce taxation. Governor Manning says he is going to enforce the prohibitios law. This is well, but it is not the only law t'nat should be observed. Some of the o5i- j cials who bold high position should set the example themselves by observing the provisions of the fundamental law and then it would be easier to1 | have those lower down to obey the i law In fact a good motto would be j less talk about law and order and more observance of law. There has been some fine opportu nity to observe the injunction to use the split log drag. It would help some of the roads. j J Every wage earner should join one of the Christmas savings clubs at one or the other of the two banks that are operating them. It is a good thing and will get you into the habit of saving a part of your earnings. I We start on a new volume with this issue. We wish all our readers a mighty successful year and tb&t all of! them will -feel like paying their sub- j 'scription right now. ! fThe weather is fine, but al.l T.he farm- j ers say that a little snow and some freezes would help the ground and help to get rid of injurious insects. j Death of Mr. C.

Editor of The Herald and News: Your charming correspondent at Whitmire in giving an account of the anniversary of the golden wedding of .Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cofield, falls into ! an unintentional error in her history i in the following statement: "The mar- j , riage took place December 21, 1865, j was to have taken place in the spring j of 1S66, but affairs were hurried up in j order to have the slaves prepare and serve an old-time wedding feast before their emancipation." .. j I would not ruthlessly mar this de- i i lightful picture made by the fair artist but for the sake of history I beg respectfully to make this correction: As an historical fact the intention of Pres- ' I ident Lincoln to free the slaves was ' ? -J ^ ' ?"?

In passing, let me say, this act the Confederate congress at Richmond declared was "a gross violation of the usages of civilized warfare, and an invitation to an a t-rrw in nc CPrvilA TV2 r " and it W'SS I no fault of President Lincoln and his advisors that the 'nelpless women and ! children in the Southern States were not cruelly and mercilessly slaugh! tered by the newly emancipated slaves.
