Thursday, November 14,1901.
The Newberry Observer is now run by
a stock company, and has been changed
from a weekly to semi-weekly. Editor
Wallace gets out a tine paper, and we
congratulate him on his success.
A committee of the W. C. T. U. of
South Carolina has sent a letter to the
governor protesting against the establishing
of dispensaries in the Charleston Exposition
grounds. The governor replied
that he had nothing whatever to do with
the matter, and that the protest should
have been sent to the State board of
directors of the dispensary. The ladies
are working on the right line, and we
hope the}* will be successful.
All honor to Otto Klettner, the mavor
of .Newberry. A circus wanted a license
to show in that town on Thanksgiving
Day, and the mayor refused to grant it,
as he did not believe it was in keeping
with the day to have a circus performance.
In these times, when even Sunday is turned
into a day of amusement, it is refreshing
to hear of an instance like this. The
people of Newberry should re-elect Mr.
Klettner, if he will serve them.
Geo. R. Koester, the recently appointed
collector of internal revenue, has appointed
ex-congressmau Geo. W. Murray
his deputy. Koester is a white man and
Murray is a coal black negro. To say the
least of it, this is a very queer appointment
for Koester to make, in the face of
his declaration that the office was offered
to and accepted by him without any
conditions attached. Koester will tind
that the fact that a negro is appointed to
office by a Democrat instead of Republican
does not make such appointment
agreeable to the white people of South
Carolina.
,?
It now seems certain that the Seaboard
will build its road from Augusta to
Charleston, and our people should begin
to think about how we are going to get
another railroad. It is impossible to induce
them to build by Bamberg, as it is
the intention to get as near an air line as
possible. But we believe it is possible to get
a branch line, connecting with the road
about eight or nine miles below town.
The editor of this paper had some correspondence
about this matter with Mr.
E. St. John, in 1899, who was then general
manager of the Seaboard, and he spoke
very favorably of the scheme. We believe
if our people make the effort, at the
proper time, we can get the branch road.

worst wrecks in the history of the Iron
Mountain railroad in Arkansas occur- I

cott in which three men were killed and t
18 wounded, all negroes. An engine was t
carrying about 40 workmen to where the <
road is being levelled. While going r
backwards at a high rate of speed the s
engine struck a piece of new and crook- t
ed track, left the rails and threw the men j
in every direction, some in front of it, i
some beneath it and one man was wrap- a
ped around a guy pole on the side of the a
track. The (lead and wounded were j
brought to Prescott on handcars, wagons, a

Found Dead in Bath Boom.
New Yokk, November 8.?Mrs. Archibald
S. White, wife of the president of
the National Salt Company, was found
| dead in the bath room of her residence
on West Eighty-sixth street today.
Mrs. White lost her life as the result
of a most unusual accident. A slip on
the tloor of the bath room caused her to
fall backward, her head striking the edge
of a marble basin and fracturing her
skull. Mrs. White's maid went to her
room some time after the accident. Not
finding her mistress, the maid went to
the bath room, where Mrs. White lay on
the floor dead. Mrs. White was about
40 years old. She was a Miss Rigney, of
Brooklyn and was married about ten
years ago. One child, a daughter, * years
old, survives her.
[It is to be regretted that the above
item found its way into the newspapers,
for no doubt some people will conclude
that it's even dangerous to use a bath tub,
and will be "skittish" hereafter about
bathing at all. In behalf of the great
unwashed multitude we protest against
the publication of such accidents. The
bath tub should be made as popular as
possible?Ed. Herald.]
Help the Orphans.
The Thorn well Orphanage, Clinton,
South Carolina, established in 1875, is a
home-school for orphan boys and girls
from any part of our sunny South, and
from any denomination, w ho need and
will work for an education.
It is under the care of the Presbyterian
church, but makes 110 discrimination
against any child because of the religion
of its parents.
Two hundred and fourteen orphans
were under its care during the year just
ended. These were supported and educated
by the generous gifts of a multitude of
people. As Thanksgiving and Christmas
time are drawing near, not only this, but
all other orphan institutions should be
remembered by the good people of our
land. Who could not spare a live dollar
bill to educate and clothe and feed an
orphan for a month! Hut small as well
as great gifts will be accepted by any

A Florida Homicide.
Madison, Fla., Nov. 11.?News reached
here that H. G. Harby, a wealthy
citizen was shot and killed in a car of
the south-bound South Georgia and
Florida West Coast railroad, near Greenville
this afternoon, by Hon. J. H. Redding,
a member of the last Florida legislature.
Redding was aboard the train and
asked the conductor to stop at a flag
station three miles from Greenville, which
was near his farm. In the meantime the
train was being flagged down at the same
station. When the train stopped, Harby
stepped on the car and Redding, it is
alleged, shot him down. No other particulars
are known.

Early lioyhood of Bishop McTyeire
{ In a recent number of the Advocate, in
j the column of chronicle of the churches,
occurred n paragraph representing that
; the old church in which Bishop McTyeire
! worshiped when a boy was still standing
at Bamberg, S. C. The church, at which
Bishop McTyeire worshiped when a boy,
is not in the town of Bamberg at all, but
is Salem church in Bamberg county, a
county recently cut out off old Barnwell.
It is situated in the sandy country about
three miles northwest of Govau, a station
on the Florida Central and Peninsular
(now S. A. L.) Railroad. The building has
recently undergone some repairs, and the
premises have been much improved. Its
membership is made up of a loyal people,
who will devotedly follow the leadership
of their pastor, and out of their limited
means support the various enterprises of
the church with unusual liberality. Its
best days are in the future.
The Bishop, whenever he came to South
Carolina, would make it convenient to
preach at least once at Salem. Once, in a
sermon he preached there on the talents,
he related that it was while going to a
neighborhood school near Salem aud at
tending a meeting at the church that he
was lirst brought under conviction. On
the way home he would go into the woods
and pray; and while he could never
place his linger on the exact time and
place when his soul tirst rested in God, it
was during this season of revival that he
lirst found his Saviour.
On the edge of the little town of Govan,
in a cornfield, one is pointed to the spot
where once stood two chimneys, marking
the ends of a "double pen log house."
This was the birth place and early home
of Holland Nimmons McTyeire, until the
removal of the family to Alabama, when
he was a boy in his teens. Into this
humble home came the Methodist itinerant,
Rev. W. C. Kirkland, who was also
an old Barnwell county boy, and whose
birthplace and later home is within the
bounds of this circuit. Stopping overnight
the preacher urged the father to
send his large-limbed boy to the Cokesbury
Conference School, and finally prevailed.
Thus was the future Bishop discovered.
We have all heard how this
country lad became the founder of Vanderbilt
University, and that the son of that
itinerant is now its honored Chancellor.
God does not forget.
Young McTyeire attended a very
popular school in the Buford's Bridge
community, about twelve miles from his
home, boarding with Mrs. Patsy Brabham.
The schoolhouse was near the
home of Mr. Reuben Kirkland, the father
of that ripe Christian, I)r. N. F. Kirkland,
Sr., who has been for years the pillar of
Mi/pah Methodism. The Doctor says he
remembers that the boys used to run,
during recess, up to his father's orchard
and get apples. McTyeire, on one occasion,
was knocking them oft.' and generously
letting some smaller boys get their
share first. One small boy seemed possessed
of pockets, not to mention another
receptacle, positively cavernous. McTyeire
had tried in vain to fill them.
Finally, pressed for time, he ran the

Mill Operatives Come South.
Nashua, N. H., Nov. 12.?It is estimated
that more than 200 of the employes
of the cotton mills of this city are about
to leave town to be employed in mills in
the south. This is the result, it is claimed,
of the short hour system that has recently
been adopted by the Nashua Manufacturing
company and the Jackson
company, which, it is claimed, is equivalent
to a reduction in wages of IT per
cent.
Representatives of southern cotton
mills, noting the conditions, came to this
citv offering inducements to the mill
bands to go south.

greedy little fellow off, saying: "Your

The Bishop often visited even in later
vears his uncle and great friend, William
Criminous. He, at his death, left the
Bishop a legacy of a valuable plantation
embracing the old McTycire homestead.
After the death of Uncle Billy, as Mr.
Nimmons was called, the Bishop came
on and had headstones placed at the
graves of the members of the Nimmons
family, and a substantial fence put around
the old Nimmons burying ground. Some
time since I noted where the fence stood,
it having long since been destroyed by
fire.
After the death of Uncle Billy Nimmons
he generally stoppeil at the home
of Mr. William Hutto, or of Major David
Hutto, distant kinsmen of his. On these
visits, besides preaching at Salem, he always
preached at Honey Ford (colored)
Baptist church. It was a high day there
when "Marse Bishop was iT-comin'." It
was his delight to stroll through the
woods near his old home, where he would
always cut a walking stick. On one occasion
he and Major Hutto were taking
their quiet stroll, carrying with them the
youngest son of the latter, a mere boy.
Having even more than the average boy's
love for tricks, and having little interest
in their conversation, the boy began to
think what a joke it would be, when the
Bishop had all of his weight on one leg,
* l.itw n 1\1 /\i?t * lint A If
IU ll'tCll lillll *1 U1U\> JUJM IK-UlllU till?
and bring liim to the ground. No sooner
thought than plans began to take shape
to carry out the scheme. Quietly the
little hand began to extricate itself from
the Bishop's great grasp. But he unconsciously
balked the plot against his
episcopal dignity several times by "tightening
his grip on the restle$ss hand. But
the moment had come. All the Bishop's
weight was on the left leg, snakelike t he
little hand extricated itself, and fetched
the Bishop a sudden and vigorous thrust
behind the toggle-joint of the knee. Down
came the heavy form of the Bishop on
his knees at the root of the great tree
they were admiring. "You rude boy,"
said the father, breaking off a gum switch,
"you shall pay for that." But the great
arms of the Bishop had encircled the form
of the audacious boy, who peeped pleadingly
up to see what was coming, and,
drawing him between his legs, lie said :
"No, David, you must not whip him."
That boy is now one of the members at
Salem, and is one of the few men who
have knocked down a bishop.?Rev.

the best results." If the food you eat remains
undigested in your stomach it decays
there and poisons the system. You
can prevent this by dieting but that means
starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
what you eat. You need sulfer from
neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The

The way to drive the trusts out of business
is to boycott them.
Boycott the steel trust?be honest.
Quit the soap trust?go dirty.
Boycott the tobacco trust?chew the
rag.
Quit the sugar trust?don't get sweet
on anybody, male or female.
Boycott the match trust?don't got married.
Quit the whiskey trust ?drink buttermilk
and catnip tea.
Boycott the oil trust?the next world

l>i?l Vou Know This?
J>n you know that :t neglectedcough or
cold loads to consumption? More people
die from the elTomi of catching cold than
from anyothei known cause. There is one
remedy, and remember it-only co>t? twenty-live
cents,that has proven a safe, unfail- 1
ing cure for coughs and colds. It is called
Mexican Syrup. Your druggists has it or
will get it for you. It lieals and strengthens
the lungs and breathing passages,
when nothing else you take seems to do
you good you had better get a bottle today
and read the testimonials on the
wrapper.
Have Vou Worms.
Are you growing thin and sickly? lias
your hkin a pale or sallow tinge? Do you
not occasionally feel a hollow sensatiou|
in the pit of your stomach, or a queer
distress in your bowels ? Do you get easily
vexed, nervous or fidgety? Probably you
are nourishing some stomach worms, a
lengthy tape worm, or else a thousand
pin worms that are devitalizing your entire
system. You can expel them by
taking Mother's Worm Syrup. Nothing
else is so effective.
Better Health.
Better health always follows a use of
Mexican Root Pills, simply because they
cleanse the system of sickening and effete
matter so thoroughly anu completely. It
is a sin to remain constipated when Mexican
Root Pills only costs 25 cents a box. i
The Best Pain Cure.
Is one that is absolutely safe and sure
and that taken internally will cure cramps
and colic, or applied external will reduce
swelling and subdue pain. Gooch's Quick
Relief docs this and only costs 25 cents.

Gooch's Sarsaparilla, the best of all blood

Time Tor Enjoyment.
lie is a young man whose unbounded
assurance has ever been bis chief characteristic.
When lie proceeded to talk
to the practical old gentleman about marrying
bis daughter lie was evidently prepared
for the usual question :
"Do you think you can support my
daughter in the style to which she has
been accustomed ?"
The parent spoke with the air of a
man who thinks he has uttered a poser.
The suitor looked him in the eye.
"Let us talk the thing over," he said.
"Do you think your daughter is qualified
to make a man a good wife?"
"Yes, sir. Her mother and I arc both
practical people, and we have given her
a practical education. She can, not only
read Greek and play the piano?she
practices three hours every day?hut she
can cook a good dinner, and do the
marketing as intelligently as an experienced
steward. Morever, her ability
with the needle is not confined to fancy
work. She's a treasure, and we don't
propose to have any doubt about her
future."
"You were asking me if I thought I
could support her in the style to which
she h:is been uncustomed."
"I was."
"Well, I could. But I don't propose to.
After she marries me she's not going to
practice three hours a day on the piano,
nor cook dinners, nor bandy words with
market people. She's going to have all
the sewing done outside the house, read
what she enjoys, whether it's Greek or
Choctaw, and go to the theater twice a
week. It's time that girl had some enjoyment
in life."
The Children's Friend.
You'll have a cold this winter. Maybe
you have one now. Your children will
suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis,
grip and other winter complaints One
Minute Cough Cure never fails. Acts
promptly. It is very pleasant to the taste
and perfectly harmless. C. B. George,
Winchester, Ky., writes "Our little girl
was attacked with croup late one night
and was so hoarse she could hardly speak.
We gave her a few doses of One Minute
Cough Cure. It relieved her immediately
and she went'to sleep. When she awoke
next morning she had no signs of hoarseness
or croup." Bamberg Pharmacy and
A. C. Reynolds, Ehrhardt, S. C.
Adding Insult.
Once two gentlemen attended a temperance
meeting, and on returning home
bv a dark and narrow lane, were thrown
out of their conveyance. The incident
was reported in the local paper and the
account closed with the words:
"Fortunately, both men were sober."
The editor received an angry letter from
one of the gentlemen concerned, with the
request for an apology.
He was equal to the occasion. "In our
/> 4 h A AAAI.1 ah! /\
iltV/UUiu ui cue uuiuuuuaiu tieiiuiui iu
Messrs.?wrote the editor, "wc stated
that fortunately both men were sober. It
appears this statement has given great
offense. Wc therefore beg to. withdraw
it."
To the Public.
Allow me to say a few words in praise
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I had
a very severe cough and cold and feared
I would get pneumonia, but after taking
the second dose of this medicine I felt
better, three bottles of it cured my cold
and the pains in my chest diappeared entirely.
I am most respectfully yours for
health, Ralph S. Meyers, (54-Thirty-seventh
