[ "Bill Snooks" Entertainingly l>e- ] scribes the Ehrhardt Celebration. Khraakdt, August 2S,?It does look like something happens every .J day down here at Khrhardt. Last Wednesday, the 23rd instant, was the day set apart and used for Newberry College. The day was spent, and well spent ; the speakers spoke, and spoke well. All the day long . it was an intellectual feast, with i chicken, rice, biscuits, coffee, beef, \ pork, tomatoes, puddings, salads, . and "cakes, pies, and things' as re- j fresbmeuts. . By ten o'clock fully six hundred ( people had congregated at Mt. Pleas- ] ant Church, and, after the house , had been called to order by Presi- j ] dent J. B. 0. Hollo way, the meeting j | was formally opened with divine h services, conducted by the Bev. Dr. , Henry Wingard, of Georgia. The address of welcome was made by Mr J. O'Connell Cassidy, after . which we all not ouly knew that we were there but that we were wel- , come. This was responded to in a ? manner very befitting the occasion { by Mr. W. A. Bast. These two young men, the former of Colleton county, j the latter of Orangeburg, are of the ] class of '99. They acted their re- i spective parts with becoming grace, j leaving the school-boy-Fourth-ofJuly style far in the background. -AVe next 1^1 the pleasure of lis- \ tening to an address by Prof. E. B. t qof rr ] av atl* ba?? ! *? pai ia/ya \ a i 4 j VX ^!? Utll > Wll^gV* xiv \ attempted outline would do the ^ speaker justice; he ably upheld the denominational college, and refuted, i to the entire satisfactionof all pres- >( eut, the argument advanced by some < that only State institutions make \ patriotic citizens; bis language~was g well chosen, sentences concise, and g arguments logically advanced. 1 At this juncture, Rev. J. H. Wilson made some announcements, the ( most important of which was that J the time for dinner had arrived, i The physical man was fed to his en- \ lire satisfaction, and many baskets j of fragments were taken up, which plainly showed that we had enough j to eat. After a recess of about two hours we went hack into the house, and took up just where we liad^ left off. : The next speaker onT^e program was Rev. H. A. McCullough, of Orangeburg, who was sick and unable to be with us, but showed his interest in our work by sending his speech. On motion this speech was read by Mr. Willie Aiken Rast. Mr. McCullough took ,for his subject, "The Influence of a Christian College/' which had been thoughtfully prepared, anu well showed that he knew by experience what he was talking about. By the way, he is an alumuus of Newberry College, of the class of '93. Dr. Wingard was now introduced. n>. w ir?/ro^/l in Coa?/?iii Vin f I ?S I TT lligoiu IlT\.0 All V4l/VS4?^l ?j k/u v for a long time worked in the Orangeburg conference, and has always been an enthusiastic supporter , of Newberry College; he is a brother 1 of Mrs. Dan Weimar, whom all of us here know and esteem. He was a student at the college before the Civil War broke out, and it #was principally about the college in ante , bellum days that he spoke. He called to mind his schoolmates of j this section, makiug his remarks very interesting. His talk was short, j spicy, and to the point. Prof. Geo. B. Cromer, president ' of Newberry College, was the next 1 speaker. To those who know Prof. . Cromer it is enough to say that his speech was characteristic of the | man. Sometimes we listen to speakers because we think we ought* to but it would be a very hard matter not to listen to Prof. Cromer" It 1 does not do the other speakers in- ^ justice to say that he appeared to me to be a magnet to which we were all wPh oue accord attracted. His subject was "The Formation of Char- ( act?r," which he treated in a schol- . arly manner. l A few remarks were now made by { Mr. J. B. 0, Holloway, president of s the reuuion, in which he thanked lis j all for havi.ig come, and the choir j especially for services rendered. f A business meeting was held, in s which Mr. Hollo way was re-elected 5 president, and Her, H. A. McCul- ] lough and Mr. T. I). Jones were i elected vice-president and secretary respectively. After a benediction by Dr. Win- j gard the reunion was dismissed,and 1 we all more or less went home, some < to one place and some to another.

' SEXTO?THE FOLDING OF THE PAPER. The Devil was correct in his surmises : the Horse was stalled sure mough, and when, after a vain effort to urge Her forward, with whip tnd voice, from his seat, the Printer jumped from the Wagon, and made in examination of the physical conlit ion of the Beast, he discovered? novice in matters equine though he was?that the poor Brute's heavy, labored breathing, Her drooping head, Her generally limp and runto-seed appearance, indicated but me thing, and he said to his companion : "This sand is very heavy, Devil, tnd She is tired out!" "I reckiti She's 'bout et Her las' ?isp," was the Imp's conjecture. 'W'uMn'f c'ririsp nip pf Shp flronrtpd le'd right where She stands." "Poor Beast," continued the Printer, who is naturally a very tender hearted man, and he went to the Animal's head and began to stroke Her nose. "Ha!" This latter exclamation came :rom him with such suddenness and auction, that the Devil cried "Hully .Tee!" and clambered nimbly to the ground. The Printer pointed to the Horse's leek, and there was apparent one, it least, of the causes of the Horse,s stoppage. The hames had slipped inder the "loose collar," and the sharp, leather-cove red iron on one side was buried in the depths of the jig raw sore. "No wonder She stopped. Dat's muff ter stop a Bull Butfler or er Renoseros!" was the Devil's com went, while the Printer loosened the hames and put them back in olafce. The tired Horse sighed gratefully, and turning Her HAMMER-LIKE HEAD rested Her nose against the Printer's arm. This dumb evidence of thankfulness so touched the Devil's tough little heart that he threw away the Whip, and declared under his breath that he "W'u'd be dinged ef he w'n'dn't ruther walk an' he'p tote der Forms den mek dat ole De'd an' Alive (ninnr flin nil 11 Mm ^ui^auiug biiv iavi ovj ^uii unit* The Printer was similarly minded, and they both pulled fodder from a neighboring corn field and fed the jaded Animal, who showed Her appreciation of their kindness by eating Ravenously. When it looked as though every corn stalk in the field would have to be denuded of its blades to satisfy the Brute's appetite, and when the Beast had rested a full half hour, the Printer and the Deyil both noticed that the sky had become gradually overcast, aud that a storm was approaching. "ItVgoing to rain," said the Printer, pointing to 'the angry, leaden-colored h'eavens, "and we must get to soipe place of shelter Devil. You drive and I will push behind." "0. K., podner," responded the Demon, and he clambered to his perch on the high seat of the WagOiii ind picked up the reins. The Printer went to the rear of ;he Wagon, and, bracing his feet, jet his shoulder against the tail 3oard. "Are you ready?" he demanded. "Yep!" was the answer, and by lint of much pushing and constant fells of encouragement, the Horse vas started forward again. They were on A HIGH RIDGE? 3n either side wide fields of corn ind cottou?110 house in sight?the oad a new one, but little traveled, ind more than ankle deep in loose ;and?they struggled on at a snail's lace?the rumble of the approachng storm grew louder?presently a :ew big drops of rain fell with a sputtering hiss in the hot sand? ;till no house in sight?suddenly the [Iorse stopped?no amount of pusling or shoutiug would urge Her forvard. "Dis time," cried the Devil deectedly, and he threw down the eins, "we gits der rinky-dink fur shore !" The Printer went around to the Horse's head and began to stroke md pet the poor Brute. The fall of ;he rain drops increased, and, sudlenly, preceded by a sharp flash of ightuing and an angry roar of bunder, the storm burst upon diem. The Devil, "to save his Sunlay hat," pulled that covering from tiis round, bullet-like head, and :ucked it away under the Rubber Blanket. The Printer took the bridle and essayed to urge the Horse forward. After much effort be succeeded, and they took up their weary march again, while the lightiingflashed, and the thunder roared, ind the blinding rain descended in torrents. In a few moments both lie and the Devil were soaking wet, ind great clouds of steam rose from the Horse's hot body. It was altogether a very uncomt? 1 > Vti 4- lin PiMiitov lonauie jjuaiwuu, uut iiuitvi, the rain mist blinding his eyes and trickling from all parts of his bodv in annoying little rivulets, happened to glance back at his diminutive companion.v The latter looked o comical, perched up there ou the liigh seat of the Black Wagon, his little legs DANGLING IX TWEeUK, he rain beating upon his unprotected head and running off a tiny stream from the end of each stubby) lair, that he burst into a loud guffaw. The laugh sounded verv i * I loarse and goblin-like in that mois j ture-saturated atmosphere, and when I the Devil cackled a shrill echo of the! nirthful ebullition it so frightened he llorse that she sprang forward; vith a sudden leap, wrenching the! iridic from the Printer's grasp and ! learly precipiiatinghim beneath the' feet of the Beast. At the same time he caught a momentary glimpse of the Devil's short legs sticking straight up in the air. as his dimiu utive body shot over the back of the seat to the bed of the Wagon, still clinging to the reins, with a grasp $0 tenacious that the Mad Gait of: the Horse was.checked. The Devil was in nowise injured by his involuntary back somersault, and, siill grinning, climbed to his seat again. The Horse seemed both willing and anxious to continue the journey, the road was firmer and had a trifling incline, and the Printer, his soggy garments clinging to his body, took his old place on the seat of the Black Wagon, and they went 011. ?nfl/lf?rdv it. ocased to rain, and > V 7 the sun burst forth in such fierce intensity that both of the travelers were soon comfortable, and dry; again, and the Devil was forced to don his "Sunday" head gear. For; some distance they rode in silence. It was broken by the Devil. "Dat soakin' rn'ed me sleepy," lie said. "Ef yer t'ink yer kin manage Graveyard, I'll tek a snooze." The Printer assured hi in that he felt fully competent to MANAGE THE BRUTE, and the little fellow curled up in the bottom of the Wagon, with his jacket for a pillow, and was soon snoring shrilly. The Horse plodded on, always at a slow walk, and the Printer, finding that he had smoked his last cheroot and chewed his last chew of "Early Bird," turned for consolation to the jug of?artesian water. It was empty! And then, and not till then, did the whole nrsery of his situation I dawn upon him, and he cursed in a variety of tongues and lingoes, aud with an earnestness of uuction that would have done credit to a Pirate on the Snanish Main. The Devil slept on, but, when the Printer had exhausted his vocabulary of expletives and relapsed into moody silence, the little fellow climbed back to his perch on the seat. "T'ank heaven, we're 'most toh der bridge," he ejaculated, taking a survey of his surroundings, but when the Printer made no answer he peered into the latter's face and asked: "What's bitin' yer, Specks. Look like y'd dropped yer candy!" The Printer pointed to the Empty Jug, r#lling about the bottom of the Wagon, and turned his pockets inside out in the vain hope that he might find a crumb of tobacco. "Hullv gee!" cried the Devil, "Dat's orful?no terbacker?no segyars?no w !" There was a jolt and sudden jar, and the Printer, glancing back hurriedly, saw the Shrouded Forms rise awesomely. "Whoa!" he cried, and the Horse stopped. They were approaching the river, and had just crossed one of the minor bridges. On the river side there "WAS A SHARP FALL from the planks of the bridge to the ground, and, although they were going at a walk, that which they had feared and so carefully guarded against had come to pass. One of the Forms was hopelessly pied! The Printer eould have shed tears of sheer vexation, but he 'didn't. He gritted his teeth, borrowed a chew of tobacco from a passiug Native, provided himself with another Whip, and plied it so lustily that the Horse actually broke into a Dog Trot, which She-was encouraged to keep until they reached the Herald office, just at dark. The Devil told the waiting and anxiously expectant Boss of the accident, but he only asked the question : "Did you get the paper printed?" And when he was answered in the affirmative he began to whistle a Merry -Air, which so surprised the Printer and the Devil that, to use the latter's expressive language, "dey nearly dropped in a faint," and while in this state of bewilderment they recklessly volunteered to "help fold the papeis." Assisted and directed by the Jubilant Boss, and by dint of the hardest kind of work, they succeeded in mailing the whole edition of Ine first number of the New Herald, before the postoffice closed. L-Envoi! , This practically ends "The Passing of the Quarto Herald," although the continued trials and tribulations that marked the first few weeks' issuance of the new paper, were of such an harrowing character that description fails me. Finally, however, order was evolved out of chaos, and the office began to run smoothly. People approved of the change in the paper, and so many new subscribers were secured that the Boss felt much encouraged, although he avers to this day that when lie nought the i'routy Press lie was most outrageously and scandalously Goid Bricked!
