The County of Newberry. we are glad to see is waking from her sleep and this ne< road is claiming the attention of her right minded citizens, In our next issue we will give.:u readers Mayor Courtney's vie*s on this road, published in the News and Courier a few days ago. It is an elaborate document- and slould be read cefully by men' onldtI sides of the question. It shows clearly the benefits which will accrue, giving a statement concerning the preseni status of the enterprise, the necessity for the road, the population and re sources of the counties through which it will pass, and the available means for its construction; Ou'great regret is that we cannot give it in this issue. The question to-day is do we want this road, if so we 'must put our hands into our.pockets, deep down and'gihr liberally. Nor will it do to speak lightly or disparagingly of it. The citizens of Prosperity are taking the bull by the horns as it'were and we rejoice that it is so. The meeting held there Monday night of which a full report is given elsewhere shows what this section is willing and able to do. What will Newberry do. A Cotton Mill Burnt. SPABTANBuRO, February 23.-The Fingerville-Cotton Factory on Paco let, fifteen miles north of town, was burned yesterday morning about 9 o'clock, the fire originating in the "lopper" room. It is believed to have been the work of an'incendiary, as there had been no fire in any part of the building since 4 o'clock-on Sat. -urday, when the hands qurit'work. Ntews clt ant' r. J. J. Wright, ex-Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court, died at his houiWi Carleston -on the 1lth a native of Pennsylvania, and came to South Carolina in 1865. He was the only colored man who ev.- held the position of Associate-Justice of the Supreme Court in this State lie was one of the Justices from 1870 to 1877. - TEE NEW . BRIGHTON HOTE..

The Herald and News learned on Monday that there was to be a meet ingin Prosperity that night- in :the interest of the proposed. M i d I lgn&3.oad. At the request of the Proprietor, the Associate at once de. termined upon attending, and in corn pany with the Editor of the Observer, we did attend. It was apparent even before the appointed time for the meeting that Prosperity was thoroughly aroused to the importance of the Midland and in earnest in her efforts to do her full duty in the premises. You could scarce hear anything discussed on the streets or in the stores other than the Midland. And we are told on good authority that that whole section of the country and all the' upper portion of Lexington county, are heartily' in favor of the. imnYediate constructionu of. the aid land. The meeting under question was held in the Academy and every busi ness house trade and profession was represented. Col. A. H. Wheeler, Intendant of the town, was called to the chair and Mr. A. H. Kohn was requested to act as Secretary. The President stated that the object of the meeting was in the interest of the proposed Midland road. Hon. J. A. Sligh then read the following resolutions and moved their adoption: Whereas the construction of the contemplated Midland R. R. of S. C. is of great importance to the.agricul tural interests of this State, the cities, towns and counties through which it may pass will justify the construction of the same at an early day and that from information obtained from this and other sections of this county we feel justified in giving the assurance that Newberry County will do her full duty in the premises. Therefore he it resolved that we do heartily endorse the project set on. foot by the incorporators of the Mid land R. R. of S. C. tc build the- said road according to the charter as we understand it, an'd will lend our aid and support to Lhe same. 'Resolved that.we most respectfully i-equest Charleston and all other cities towni and counties through which the said road will pass to take action thereon and, speak out their senti meets in relation thereto. Maj. G. G. DeWalt He said that the proposed Midland road was of great importance to all classes of our citizens. That there was not a road in the State controlled by the citizens of the~ State, that the majority of the roads were controlled by systems that were sappig the very foundations of the commerce of the State. These great arteries of commerge being owned by cities and corporations outside our borders were working for the initerests of others thban our own. It was all Iraprtsat to ewn a road in sympathy 'with otIr own inteess. The question now is, shall we lie s1 pinely dowu sa talte nointerest in an enterprise that shall redo4zd to oqr interests; If we do w e will be sleeping oni oqr rihr ft is iportant to Qharlestou to aid rigbjt 4berally in this enterprise tfo a large per cent, of oi;r pommierco does not roach Charleston because ehe has no 41. rect communication nor competing line with the up-comny. It be. hodyes 45 nQt tc let slip from our grasp the golden beams wh4ich we no.w have within our'reaoh, Hloo, J~ , A.Sligt4 saiq that he was glad that P'rosperity had taken the moving steps in this rnatter, and 4ad a me~eting in the interest~ of this road. rIt may put in motion a bgjR that will continue to roll until this rQad $s a reality in the near future, Iniporta.nt results often gow from small begin .nns This road if built will be of chIetimnportance to the agriculturists. Of course it will increase the value of real esagte, but the chie( benefits to be derived mnust redpund to the f&rmers. Hle hoped that Charleston would wake up to the importance of this road and come forward gu4 meet the sp.country and build the road: IHW was proud of' Charleston as the metropolis of thia State. The road when built will increase competition in the towns and thereby reduce pri ces of necessarieg and inres the .price of cotton, all of which will en ure to the benefit of the farmer. He was present as a representative of the farmers, and would use his infiuence to arouse them to the importance of the road. Every man who buys a pound of bacon or sells a pound of cotton would be benefitted more than his tax to build the road. He said it was all-important for Newberry and Prosperity to bestir themselves in this enterprise. Laurens already had competing lines, and could get an outlet by connecting with thie Georgia Central, Greenwood had competing lines, and could give more for cotton and sell goods cheaper than either Newberry or Prosperity. N ewberry was one of the richest Ia ~onana in yh b aePdnIant belt;- makeM more cotton per acre than :.iy of te counties within the/belt. le was not is favor of any cross roads ; he wanted a road through the center of the State, just as the M4dland pro posed to run. The town of Newberry had a cotton factory, but if she would bestir herself in the interest of this road it would do her more good than all the factories she could build. Mr. W. I. Walace'nf the Obser ver,.and Mr E.. L.the. - ALD A'W NEws, eze.hen ealed om Mr. II. C.. Moseley said that his sentiments were expressed in the re solutions. It seemed to be the general opin ion that it was useless to talk of build ing the road except via Columbia. The resolutions were heartily en dorsed, and it was moved that the editors of the Newberry papers be requested to publish the same and that a copy be sent to the News and Courier, Columbia Register, Lexing. ton papers, Laurens papers and the Greenville News. Where will the next meeting be held? The meeting throughout was har monious and the enthusiasm seemed to be a reality. If all the cities and towns along the proposed line will get up the enthusiasm exhibited in Prosperity, and keep it up, the road will be built' in the near future be yon-1 the shadow of a doubt. The question now is what does Newberry propose to 4o in this matter. None will deny that it is 'all important for the prosperity of our city to have competing lines of road and this proposed Midland offers us a grand opportunity. It behooves the busi ness men to bestir themselves and take hold of this matter. WHAT WE SEE-WHAT WE DON'T SEE; WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE WHAT WE DON'T LIKE TO SEE. By THREE-SCORE. We refresh the reader this week with an extract from Lippincott's magazine, showing a scene in every day life, and our purpose being to check evil and promote good we give it without sauce, suffering it to convey its own moral. The writer says: Here is a scene at a public table, to which enters a boy of eight or nine years, having in his suite a gen. tleman of not unengaging appear ance. The chief personage, being s-ated, helps instanter to berries, with the remark, -"Pupper, gimme some sugar I" The sugar is given. "More," says the infant; and a second sprinkling follows. "Gimme 'nuther spoonful !' he fur ter commnands,and cuts short an gry roar. "I alwus have three !' Whereupon the father does as lhe is told, without arguing.: But let us now repair to the pub. lic drawing-room, on the understand ing that friends from another hotel have come to call~ on us, We form a circle, and are for the moment a private party, when, suddenly th~ere appears in our midst a small boy with a long stick. No one knows who he is, and he cares very little who we are;i his sovereign glance may have discerned that there were ladies and gentlemen sitting there, or be may have taken us for so many posts, but at all events 1t was the i'e cant central space iwhich was the chief attraction, and having gyrated there two or three tLmes shout his stick anu4 discovere4 what sort of a place is is, he spgtnters away again, The ne;t event worthy of record on this same ucessio4n is the arriyal of three little girls, who take a vastly greater interest in us than t,he bo'y did. They were on their way through the room, when something remarka ble about us attracted their attention, and they forthwith stopped and fomewd a line,-outside the circle this time,-t,hres girla of ten or eley pn years old, each violently monch, ig a green apple, and staring, and staring, and staring. Anything more ldicrously hugethetic I han the effect produced it would be dif#cult to im - agins. Ypu can remember malisg an -In, fomal call on spule qeen of' socip;y when her little daqghter was in the' roomi and what happened then? The charming lady discovered- after a tim-after the time, that 1s, that you had discovered it--that the child's constant interruptions were annoying; so she said; 'Run away, now, Daisy, dear.'' But Palsy did not want to run away, she perched herself about qpon the chajns instead and began to induige in freaks of fanP3y whichi necessitated .conskant inteispersions in the conversation of "Don $ do that, dear," "G o down," etc.. etc., with periodical recurrences to the original ida of her running away 1'inally, conscious of having bt one eye and ear for her guest, and wearied wIih the effort of divid ing heF attention, the poor lady makes th:at last supreme appeal of the American mother, and says, Piease, palsy," in a tqne that might mpye a heart of stone. And Daisy is moved, doubtless, but the thing has gone on too long ; there are cir cumstances under which even the American little girl develops a formu of embarrassment. With two pairs of eyes fixed upon her, watching be tween hope and fear to see what she will do. she really cannot beat a graceful retreat, and therefore ignores the pathos of the situation and ab ruptly changes the subject by saying in a lively -manner, "Mamma, I want to tell you something." Thereupon follows a controversy as to whether she shall tell now or reserve the cam munication for a more convenient season; it ends in her pntting her arms around her mo$hey's neelk, and a long whispering epagles, nf which the final words are '"May I?' Vis ibly brightening at a prospect of get. tiuig ont of hea dMMhtalte the mo ther says, "Yes, you may,-if you are a, good girl, now." There is probably some tacit understanding between them as to what this g ness shall consist in, but outwardly the:situation remains much the same as before. Daisy hangs around a little longer. siiently, to be sure, but she only takes herself' off when he: is ready. The season of.Lent is with us d it behooves usas a people ti pasi and reflect..iIssjs-af pia '-ieson of meditation, a season ioli frnaisbes thne f opport'tyit for humiliation anid a seison of grat itude to the great God who fashioned us after his own image. Lent is a divine ordinance, the example being set by the Savior, and as such it will prove to every soul who thus remem bers and observes it 'a spit'itual rd freshment and growth in grace. "The want of the age is thoughtfulness we do not stop to think. We rush and drive and push and try to get ahead of our neighbors. Thatougl to, be useful which induces or coni pels the church to renounce the world and to spend a season of 'oly,de votedness to the concerns of -te soul. it ought .not to.'ba, ao He-would have us .rend. our hearts 'repent, implore and make oar peace with Him who is our Peace. So shall we arise from the dust-. put on our beautiful.garments and rejoice in the light of the Lord." The Evangelist, Rev. Mr. Jones, who is holding a series of revival meetings at Bethel Church, Charles. ton, is doing one of the greatest re vival works that have ever come within our recollection. He holds three services each day, the ~ firsr at the early hour of seven in the moru ing, when the mind is fresh and clear of the day's turmoil, and allits host of business cares and anxietie, and the heart pure and clear, 'if it ever is. The church edifice is filUed on every occasion. How he...qan hold up under the sLrain of. three sermons a day is more than a marvel to us, unless we credit it to the pow er of.the 'Holy Spirit. - It is said of him that while in another State and County the Court then in session ad journed each day during .the morning service, so greatly was his influence felt. A like circumstarce has never before occurred. We entertain the hope that, this reverend gentleman will favor Newberry with a visit.

There lived many years ago in tl g city of. Washington, D. C.. Mr. Jol d McLeod. of White Water Chapel,.Coun Derry, Ireland. His uncle. Col.
