The announcement that Capt. A. P.
Pifer had sent in h:s re' ignation as
priacipal of the Feintle Acadnw, to
the Board of Trutees,would be received
by the people of Newberry with general
regret. Such is the fact, however. Capt.
Pifer has ably fi!!ed hi= present po,ition
as principal of this school for the past
seventeen years, and] wa: universally
beloved by pupils and p-trents. Schol
arly, gentlemanly, polite, courteous,
kind, and withal a most exedllent
teacher, his place will be hard to fill.
His reasons for resigning are twofol,l:
He finds his health not as good' as it
was, and his pecuniary interests in Vir
ginia require more time of him than he
could give, and teach at the same time.
The Board of Trustees will hold a
meeting the early part of next week to
take action on the resignation.

rhe Hett and the Rain.
Last Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and
or several days previous, were among
he hottest days ever experienced in
cewberry. Mr. Ed. Scholtz kept a
-ecord of the maximum and minimum
emperature on his self-registering ther
nometer. The thermometer was against
:he wall in his store. The following is
.he record for the past week as shown
y this thermometer:
Maximum. Minimum.
fly 15....................S:1 ...- - - --........... S21
" 1.............91........---------...S2
17 ....................90 ....................Si
18....................94 .-...... ..........S1}
19..............9..........- ...S4
The thermometer in s-veral places in
cewberry has registered over 100. Mr.
5choitzs store is probably one of the
!oolest places to be found. Mr. Scholtz's
heimometer ran up on one occasion to
20 in the sun at 11 o'clock.
If this weather had lasted much longer
onsiderable damage would have been
lone the crops, not for want of rain, but
he heat was so very excessive.
By reference to our news columns it
vill be found that the hot weather was
,eneral, and in some places a large
runber of deaths resulted. In Colum
)ia there were six deaths from the heat.
This spell was broken, however, on
[',esday afternoon by a general rain.
L'he rain here was very hard, and there
vas some wind, and lightning struck in
everal places, but we have heard of no
erious damage.
The rain was general-all along the
inc of the C. & G. R. R. from Colum
)ia, and in all portions of the county
rom which we have heard. In the
ower portion of the county around Po
naria there seemed to have been consid
rable wind and very hard rain, as the
orn in many places was blown down
tnd the lands considerably washed.
The steeple of the A. R. P. church
Lt Newberry was struck by the lightning
vhile the W. C. T. U. was in session.
ut slight damage was done the church,
tad none of the large number of chil
Iren in the church were hurt, but fear
ully frightened. The rod on the church
vas broken and has been in this condi
ion for nearly a year, and was the
ause of the church being struck.
One of the cow sheds at the Innis
allen Dairy Farm was also struck and
lown down, but no one was hurt, al
hough there were several cows in the
talls at the tine.
A sweetgum .tree on Mrs. Motte's
)lace was struck.
At Jalapa a tree in the yard of Mr. W.
3. Sligh was struck by the lightning,
Lnd also a tree in the yard of Mr. W. L.
Vaters, and a hog belonging to Mr.
Vaters was killed.
Mr. A. J. Kilgore in going home after
he rain crossed the creek when it was
very much swollen, and while in the
nidst of the stream one of his buggy
races broke, but he managed to pull
iut with one, unharmed.
This rain being so general will do the
rops a great deal of good, and be of
~reat benefit to humanity in cooling the
.tmosphere and relieving the oppression
romi the heat.

IN BRIEF AND TO TUF POINT.
Dy~spepsia is dreadful. Disordered
iver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of o der.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
i-reguar habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember :-No happee=s without
ealth. But Green's Augu-t Flov er
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

places have been complaining of the
heat at 97o and 9S4 Fahirenhcit,when we
have been reyaling ourselves in an at
mosphere with the mercury registering
10.10-107 *, and no =unstroke.
The reports coming in this morning
show that the rains yesterday were gen
eral. Jn some places the lands are bad
ly washed. Strong winds and electrie
disturbances accompanied the rains,
though we have heard of no serious
damage.
G. B. Cromer, Esq., of Newberry, de
livered a most excellent address before
the Y. M. C. A. at this place, on Sunday
night in Grace Church. The adddre-s
throughout was replete in profound
thought, and notwithstanding the in
tense heat the audience was good, and
all expressed themselves as highly
pleased.
In speaking of the cost of the new
depot here, last week, the printer m:ade
us say it cost about $t ,000-a slight dis

the issue before, you put our tu:-tle bad

inches in length when we had only
measured for 25 inches. The readers of
the HERALD AND NEWS do not accuse us
of lying straight out, but they do accuse
us of handling the truth rather indifler
ently. However, we are calm and se
rene.
Yesterday evening we were relieved
from the oppressive heat by a glorious
rain. The mercury fell about ;0 de
rees, and oh how good we feel All
nature seems to smile with gratitude to
the Great GIver of these glorious rains,
nd yet some men do not render thanks
o God for these blessings, but rather
ook upon it simply as God discharging
duty which He owee man, and they
seem to think that He is under obliga
tions to man to send the "early and lat
ter rains," and that if lhe does not send
hese timely rains that HIe is not tilling
Iis share of the contract. How per
erse and ungratefuli is man.
We are under obligations to Dr J. W.
Folk, of Annandale, for a box of very
large turtle eggs. The Dr. did not send
s a recipe for preparing these eggs,
ence they were a sort of an elephant

fresh water, and then remembering that
these turtles are salt-water amphibians,
we tried boiling the eggs in salt wvater,
nt with the same result. T1he yolk
woud boil "done," but the white seems
perfectly impervious to heat. We tri-d
frying these "cooter" eggs, but in this
we signally failed-the blasted things
wouldn't fry worth a cent. We stil
persevered and experimented with the
"cooter aigs," and our next attempt was
at an omelet-a "cooter aig" omelet.
In this we stucceeded right wvell, and in
this manner we disposed of the "cooter
aigs," much to the amusement of thec
madame and the children. Rlemember
that all these eft'orts were made ina

istered 1040 in the cool shade. We pity

EDITOR HERALD AND NEWS:-IIn
ur i--ue of June .30 you charge, by in
mation rece:ved, that the convicts at
Penitentiary are required to do va
us kinds of work on Sunday, &c., &c.
ken as a whole, all you charge is true.
they never have hauled wood, all
rer kinds of work have been done on
nday. Sunday seems to be the day to
pply the Lexington farm or stockade
th provisions by boat from Columbia
landing, and from there, by wagon on
mre day, to quarters.
On July 3 they were killing hogs,
Lcp, &c., and fixing them up for the
i. This, I suppose, is claimed as a
ces;iiy, as the fourth came on 31on
v. Other barbecues were given on
4th, and one not exceeling a mile
m the stockada, and everything for it
, done on Monday.
:1, to the citizens of the Fork having
y ill feelings towards Capt. Sligh or
1. Li;psconib, Ispeak "advisedly" when
:IV they have none.
[' Capt. Sli,h exonerates Col. Lips
ub of all blame in this, then the pub
knows who is to blame, if any one.
:n short, if all the work of various
ids that is performed by convicts on
inay was done by citizens, the Peni
itiary would be overflowing with them
violating the law.
V.ecording to the Yews and Courier
:I the Columbia Iegister the charges
.de by you, through your informant,
Ve been found by the Penitentiary
rectors to be without "foundation or
t." I say this, that if hauling supplies
the farm in Lexington is without
t, then there is no foundation in
at you charge. It being a case
necessity, I suppose makes a case
;lout foundation or fact. This case
necessity-by which convicts are
rked on Sunday-has existed for
rs; not now and then, but the Sun
work is done continually. "Oh!
isistency, thon art a jewel."

BLOOD POISON.
hree years ago I contracted a blood
son. I applied to a physician at once
I his treatment caine near killing me.

nt to Ky. I then went to Hot Springs
I remnainedl two months, but nothing
mxed to cure me permanently, al
ugh temporary relief was given me.
condition grew worse and I applied
t noted quack, but I did not imp)rove.
ien used a preparation which was
-cribed "gratis," but it contained too
chi alcohol and aggravated my suffer -
s. I then placed myself under the
atment of a noted Nashville physi
n and for a time was benetitted, but
fall I returned home a ruined man
sically and financially, with but lit
prospects of ever getting well. My
nev being exhausted, 1 did not know
at ~to do- In May, 1885, my mother
suaded mc to get a bottle of B. B. B..
ide in A tlanta) and I did so to gratify
'but to my atter astonishment I had
tin ished the first bottle before every
er had been healed.
'o the present time J have used live
:tles and have received more benefit
n from all the rest combined; and I
satistied that B. B. B. is the most
nderful blood purifier ever before
own, and I urge all afflicted young
ni to try one single bottle and be eon
ied. I can truly say I think it the
at medicine in the world.

VERY NEEVOUS.
~or many years I have been aillicted
thi Rheumatism combined with some
,lney troubles. Indigestion finally
ded to my misery and I soon became
ble and very nervous, and my whole
ste was pr'ostrated. Several phy~si
.ns were employed and numerous
tent medicines resorted to without
efit. After seeing so many testimbo
ils extolling the wonderful merits of
B. B., I commenced its use and the
ects wa like magic.. Rheumatic pains
ised, my kidneys were relieved and
' constitution improved at once, and
heerf ully recommend it to others who
ty be similarly atllicted.
