The continued success of Pelham's Pectoral (Cough) Syrup at home, is be ing almost equaled by its popularity abroad. Last week a order came from Cha:rleston, S.

POPE. tf Robbery at ChappeHls. On last Friday night the stores of M-. Geo. T. Reid and Mr. Geo. P. Hill, at Chappells, in this county, were bro ken into and robbed. The front doors in both instances were forced open. No one sleeps at the depot where the stores are, and the robbers had it all to themselves. The nearest house is about half a mile distant. Two strange negroes were observed around the place all Friday morning and then disappeared in the afternoon. M-. Reid's loss is supposed to have been be:ween $200 and $300, and Mr. Hill's abVut $100, although it is difficult to es' mate, as a variety of goods was tak~en. Amongst the goods taken were a half dozen pistols and a lot of car tridges, a lot.of jewelry, a lot of pocket kn:ves, about two dozen bottles of co ~e anda litth cash left in the drawer, th .HilPs store. From Mr. Reid's ,cket knives, cigars, calico, 0c welry, clothing, shoes, etc. The ing. sa~wer was broken open but no tal. was left in it the night before hffey got none. A full sack of cof jwas emptied on the iloor, presuma to get the sak to put their plunder 79 kVn Saturday night Mr. W. R. Reid 80procured some information which led 86~I hiin to believe he could find the goods 77 A , or a portion of them. Upon further in 63 G c. vestigation and in company with sev 07 A /eral of the citizens of the community ' R t he found alot cf the goods on Sunday JO C t in a r<egro house about two west of Ninety Six. The goods C$ered beanging to Mr. Reid E '~anted to about $117, and to Mr. I M bou $17. The negro who left the C eis at this place is named Ed.Ward ~and he was accompanied by an Rr negro calling himself Ned Light DLii . These two are supposed to be plicated in the breaking into the tores. There were probably others With them, or they might have done it alone. An eff'ort will be made io eap tore them.

Important Matters Considered at the Meet Iag on Tuesday Night. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade was held Tuesday night. The attendance was not as large as we should like to see at these meet ings. The report of the committee on the limit with which it would be advisable to have the erection of wooden build ing under the supervision of the Town Council was read, adopted and referred back to the Town Council as the sense of the Board. The following is the report: To the Newberry Board of Trade: Your committee appointed to ascertain within what limits it would be advisa ble to have the Town Council exercise supervision in the matter of erecting wooden buildings, ask leave to report: That in the opinion of your committee the erection of wooden buildings in the town of Newberry enclosed by Harrington street, McKibben street, Johnstone street, and Coates and Thompson streets, should hereafter be subject to the approval and the super vision of the Town Council. Respectfully submitted, GEo. B. CROMER, Chm'n. W. H. HUNT, JR. TELEGRAPH OFFICE. The matter of establishing a tele graph office convenient to the business portion of the town, was reported by the committee, and a letter from Supt. Tree, of the Western Union Company, was read. Mr. Tree stated that the matter would have attention during this month. The letter was received as information and the committee con tinued. MOVING FOR MORE AND BETTER ROADS. Mr. 8. P. Boozer, from the Highway Committee, reported .that he had been in consultation with the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and he thought the outlook was en couraging for an Improvement in our public roads. Mr. George Johnstone brought to the attention of the Board the importance of opening public roads and keeping those in repair leading to Newberry, and moved that the Highway Com mittee endeavor to have a public road opened leading to Newberry from the section of Glymphville and endeavor to have the public road leading from the neighborhood of St. Luke's, by Mr. Sam Paysinger's place, put in better condition. WEATHER SIGNALS. The question of receiving the weather reports and displaying the signals in the town was referred to the Executive Committee, with power to make all the necessary arrangements. COTION SEED OIL MILL. Col. A. P. Butler having made a statement through the papers that a certain party desired to locate a cotton seed oil mill in some town that would raise a certain amount of local stock, the President was instructed -to write to Col: Butler- and ask himt to put this Board in communication with the party with a view to securing the mill for Newberry. President Peoples spoke of the im portance of establishing small.'indus ti-ies in our town, and the good to be derived'from them. Mr. W. H. Wallace spoke of the good to be derived from graded schools, and. the importance of a- towni the size of Newberry having a first-class system of graded schools. All these!are matters of importance to our town, and as we desire to see our town prosper, we should all feel an interest in them. We would be glad to see more business men become members of the -Board of Trade and more of those who are members turn out and take an active part in its meet ings. Helena Heraldigs. Miss Minnie Germany, of Columbia, is visiting Miss Mamnie Mangum. Mr. and Mrs.W. T. Crawley, of Spar tanburg,with their bright little daugh ter,were on a visit to Mr. Scott's family last week. Rev. Mr. Schaeff'er and his charming wife were in the village last Thursday, the occasion being the christening of little Miss Ethel-Mary Ethel; and now Mr. and Mrs. Bowers are happy with a sweet little "rosebud" among the "olive plants." Owing to the very inclement weather there was no prayer meeting Sunday night. May we not hope for a full at tendance next Sunday night, when our young people may come in the unity of prayer, in the "catholicity" of song and in meditation upon theWord, for the enjoyment of a peaceful and profitable evening ? The last reading circle-the first this year, (the circle had not met for several weeks) was held at Mr. Greneker's, and it was perhaps the largest circle of young people that has yet assembled. Among the bright throng were three young ladies visiting in the village. Mr. Arthur Kibler was re-elected President of the Circle with Miss Eloise Welch as secretary. A commitee wa an nounced to appoint readers. The circle then resolved itself into a committee on the art of conversation. As there was moonlight without and lovelight within, mingled with music and song, an hour or two went by upon "slippers of list.." Some of the young people in the passage-way, under the inspiring strains of the organ and violin indulged for a few moments in the "poetry of' motion." It was a happy party, and Dr. Gilman, himself, who spoke so happily of the "sweet reasonableness of life," "mild enthusiasm," etc., would have been pleased with the behavior and moderate hours observed. The poet Whittier, too, must have recalled his lines: "And ye, oh younger-friends, for whom My heart and hearth keep open room, Come smiling through the shadows long: Be with me while the sun goes down, And with your cheerful voices drown The minor of my evensong." At about ten o'clock the last sweet good-night was spoken and the last bright face had disappeared in the shadows. SANs Socci. I am now ready for any work in .he, Harness-repairing business. Fb. A. SCH UMPERT. tf All who wish nice Christmas pres ents are respectfully invited to call and: The Smokey Town Trouble. Solicitor O. L. Schumpart upon in formation had warrants issued by Tria Justice G. M. Girardeau and placed in the bands of Sheriff Riser for the ar rest of Butler Banks, charged with the shooting of James C. Banks and for the arrest of other parties charged with burning the house of Butler Banks The Sheriff went down on Monday and on Tuesday arrested Stout Banks Perry Banks, Rush Banks and Turner Banks and Jefferson Holly on the charge of arson. They were brought to Newberry and lodged in jail Tuesday afternoon. 2'o preliminary examina tion has not yet been had and probably none will be asked for. Butler Banks was not arrested. Mrs. Fannie Banks was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a warrant based upon an affidavit made by Rush Banks, eharging her as an accessory after the fact in the shooting of James C. Banks by her husband Butler. She was put in jail but Solicitor Schumpert had her released on her own recognizance ithe same afternoon. Mr. James C. Banks, we understand is doing as well as could be expected. He will likely recover. Butler Banks has left the community, but will be captured and brought to jail. There are good law-abiding citizens in this community and the public sen .iment amongst them is strong that this matter should be thoroughly in vestigated and that the violators of the laws be brought to give a strict account of their actions and made to suffer the penalties of such violation. Solicitor Schumpert will do his duty in the premises, and nothing further need be said now. Messrs. J. P. & T. C. Pool have sold out their first car load of mu,les. Mr. T. C.

The Teachers' meeting on last Satur day was one of the most successful tha we have attended in several months About fifteen active teachers, from dif ferent parts of the county, were pres ent. The discussion of questions .wal lively and interesting and at times be came a little warm. "Grading Schools' opened by Mrs. Jane Long,, was dis cussed with interest. It was though by some that it is almost impossible t< grade our schools as they should be from the fact that children are so ir regular in attendance. None, however, doubted that whez children are properly classified the2 make more satisfactory progress thai when not. '"School Furniture," opened by Ar thur Kibler, brought forth quite a warn debate. Every one felt the fact forci bly that the school room should be wel furnished, but at the same time fel that there were many obstacles in thi way. If the patrons realized the fac that a small expenditure of mone; would make their school rooms bette fitted for instruction they woul4 doubtless have them better supplie< with the proper furniture. The teache cannot go to the expense of havini desks, black boards, charts, &c., put int the school. The salary is too smnal] And were it large that would be n reason why they should go to the e.x pense. After the discussion of this las question we left the .meeting, but hay since learned that the last of the sessio) was as interesting and profitable as th first. The next time the teachers will mee at Newberiy, 3d Saturday in February Every one should be present, so tha she may improve herself in the profei sion.

The sessions an e secret and no information in regard t< what was done has been furnished Th( - Herald and News, and hence we knos r nothing of what was done at the meet. a ing. We would gladly pnblish any o: f the proceedings if the information were t furnished.
