Mrs. Sprott traced the growth of the W. C. T. U. from its beginning to the wp.Rent. In an historical review of the work in South.

Old Joe Ouar was very deaf, but he got the idea into his head that he could understand perfectly whatever was said td him by simply noticing the lips of the person addressing him. He and his hired man, Jake were chopping a well pole, and looking up the road they saw a man coming to *x? *? ?? nviiiKitinn Af hl'c (KU'lUUliy tu &1?C <*?l cauivumu portnnity to give an exhibitios of his wonder faculties, so addressing Jake, he said: "See that man coming down the road? Well, I just know what he is going to say. He is going to ask me what I am chopping, and I'm going to say 'well pole.' He's going to ask me how far down I'm going to chop it, and I'm going to say 'Right down to that knot-hole.' Then he's going to say, 'Two dollars and a half; Then he's going to say ne won't give it, and I'm going to tell him if he don't somebody else will. Now watch and see if I ain't right." In a short ime the stranger drove up. Stranger?"Good morning.'' Old Joe?"Well pole." Stranger?"How far is it to the uc&i icai uutci . Old Joe?"Right down to that there knot hole."

The thermometer registered as high | as 102 Sunday. i I i ; We see by the papers that a large dance was'given in Greenwood last] j Friday night, the music for which wasj furnished by Mrs. Williams, Mr. Ha-i , ley and Mr. Restivo. There are some} people in Newberry who wish that Mrs. Williams and Mr. Haley would return to this city and carry out the cVirtwintr "The Pearl of plug! am ui auv 0 the Army," because they don't think j they were treated right in having tne i , story cut off from them suddenly and 1 left that way. j There was another big cotton sale, {in Newberry, taking place Saturday.! !

After using it to his satis faction he left it front of the Ford Motor company's garage. The Laurensvilie Herald of last! Friday carried the story to the effect that the Laurens and Newberry of ficers were hunting for a negro hoy i>y the name of Williams who was charged with shooting his wife at his s home ner Godville. The paper said that it was thought the negro made his way into this county. Deputy Sheriff Dorroh was asked about the matter and he said the negro had uucii ai icsicu auu lancn iu udui cuo uv the sheriff of that county. i Mr. John M. Davis of Newberry was' unanimously elected president of the Southern Textile association at the^ closing session of the 11th annual convention in Wrtghtsville Beach Saturday. He is better known here as i Mr. J. Marion Davis, superintendent; of the Newberry cotton mill. This is but another illustration of the fact that associations and societies just will put Newberry people at the head of their conventions. Newberry, through Superintendent Davis, is placed a notch higher in the indus trial scale. i Wallace Prior and Thomas E.
