A Pleasant Day-Good R:unning by the Boys-Laurens Wins-Governor Shep pard's Address-The Visiting Fire men Delighted. One of the most disagreeable things to us in connection with the newspaper work is to have to wait until a piece of news is a week old before we can pub lish it. In this busy and fast age we always feel that after the lapse of so much time much of the interest in the occasion is gone. To this reporter it is, and he fears after the excitement and inspiration of the hour are past, he will be unable to chronicle properly the tournament and picnic of the firemen held here on last Thursday. The fire men are very important factors in the make up of any town.. The people of Newberry feel a deep iuterest in their firemen-the Excelsiors-and conse quently were deeply interested in the entertainment of the visiting firemen from Anderson and Laurens on last Thursday, and in the success of the tournament. They showed their inter est by their presence, and in many other and more substantial ways. Our fire department was organized in 18S3, and we have now one of the best volun tary departments in the State. Last Thursday was the first tournament we have ever held here, and every one wanted to see it. The officers of the Excelsiors, Messrs. W. H. Hunt, 'Jr., Jno. M. Kinard, and M. Foot, Jr., used 1 every effort to make the occasion a pleasant and successful one. Their efforts were ably seconded by the mem bers of the company. The day iais a very pleasant one in deed, and the occasion a decided suc cess. Fourteen picked men came down from the Pioneer Fire Engine Com pany, of Anderson, and were met by 1 the Excelsiors on Wednesday. Mr. R. 1 M. Baker was Captain of the running team. Ex-Governor Sheppard arrived later on the train from Columbia, and was met by both companies and the New berry Cornet Band. Fourteen men from the Hectors of 1 Laurens came in Thursday morning in charge of Mr. Frank Evans, Captain of the running team. The Excelsiors, of Newberry, entered I a team of fourteen in charge of Captain Ed Riser, and these made up the con tests. Mr. Geo. S. Mower acted as starting judge, and the following, with the presidents of each of the companies, acted as judges: S. J. McCaughrin and S. B. Jones, Newberry; T. S. Crayton and G. S. Brown, Anderson; C. C. Featherstone and - P. B. Connor, Laurens. The judges stand was in t front of Smith & Wearn's, and the run down Adam's Street, from in front of Mr. W. A. Kinard's, a distance of one hundred yards. The races began a little after 9 o'clock. In the reel contest the first prize-was won by Laurens and the second by Newberry. Time-Laurens, 23.25 seconds; Anderson, 27.42 seconds; Newberry, 24.34 seconds. The first prize in this contest was $50, and the second $25. In the grab race the first prize was won by Newberry in 2.5 seconds. Laurens and Anderson both being' "blown off" making "no time," these teams ran a second time for the second prize, which was taken by Laurens. The first prize in this race was $25, and the second $15. In the foot race, one man from each team entered. The first prize of S10 was taken by Harry T. White, of New berry, in ten seconds, and the second prize of $.5 was given to W. D. Milford, of Anderson. There was also a race between the two squads of the boy company of the Newberry team, now called the "Sheppard Guard" in honor. of Ex Governor Sheppard. The first prize of $3 was given to George Jones' team, and the second of $2 was awarded to George Kinard's team. Tihei"Fan Tails," from the Excelsiors, also made the run in 3.5 seconds, which was a very good run, con sidering the wet weather was not suit able to their female at tire. The much needed rain came just be fore the races were over and in conse quence the picnic was not held in the grove, and the address of Ex-Governor Sheppard was miade in the Opera House. A large number of persons were pres ent from the county and the Opera House was soon filled. Mr. Sheppard was in troduced by Mr. Geo. S. Mower, Chief of the Fire De partment, and for thirty-five minutes held the strict attention of his hearers. He is an eloqiuent and pleasant speaker and has many admirers in New berrv. "After referring to the many attach ments he felt towards Newberry and to. his especial desire to be present on this occasion to renew the friendshin of the past, Gov. Sheppard addressed'himself to the discussion of his theme, the main thought of which was the material up building and industrial growth of our Southland in contrast with the past undeveloped condition of our section. It behooves us as a people occasionally to estimate the extent of our prosperity and, after the manner of a merchant, take as it were an in ventory of our re sources, and strike a balance sheet. Whbile it is true beyond doubt that there was a South of slavery and secession, there is to-day a South that is growing and developing even beyond the ardent expectation of the most enthusiastic, and yet there were connecting links be tween the old and the new that show us there can be no forgetfulness. The glory of the past is merged in the gran deur of the present. Governor Shep pard dwelt at length upon the develop ment of the new South and the neces sity of home investment of home capi tal for greater achievements in material and industrial progress. Close upon this admonition he pressed the preg nant question "what are we doing to wards justifying our claim to progress." He showed the record was inexhausti ble iR p roof of development. His sta tistical facts were that in 1860 we had only 1,230 manufacturing enterprises; in 1S70, ten years after, during which a fearful fratricidal war had ensued, in stead of 1,230 we had 1,584 manufactur ing enterprises, with an anural product amnounting toS,615,000. A decadel!ater, in 1880), notwithstanding the hand of the despoiler was upon us. our mills, etc., increased in number to 2,078, with an annual output of $161,7;38,000. F,romn 1880) to 1887 there was an increase to 3,270 factories. etc., with an annual pro. duct of $31 ,975,000. In 1800 there were no fertilizer factories: now there are 13, working 885 hands, with an annual yield of $3,396,000. In 1860 there were nocotton seed oil mills; in 1888 there were 54, with an aggregate capital of $810,000. In 1860 we had but 17 cotton mmll in South arouna, workin 891 hands, with an annual yield amount ing to $712,000; in .1889 there are 51 mills, working a capital of $7,664,400. The speaker wasimpressed that the most important duty that confronts us is the revolutionizing and reforming of our educational method soas to keep in line with our material advancement. lIe maintained that we needed more echnical institutions and imore skilled aborers in South Carolina. That we need industrial schools so as to turn out useful men of practical characters, and ie was sure that all such would be pro vided for by the people. The institu iolns would graduate and send forth practical men, so that when we needed killed labor we would have it in the ?erson of our own youths instead of )eing compelled to send abroad for such abor. Thus our capital would be used n rehabilitating our own Common .ealth. His speech abounded with -are common sense, and fell apprecia ingly upon the ears of eager listeners." The prizes were awarded in a happy peech by Gen. Y. J. Pope to the victors n the contest. When the prize was twarded to the Laurens team, Miss sophia Samuels, a little girl of ten, valked forward, and with a graceful >ow, presented the Laureus winners a )room nicely wrapped in ribbon, as em >lematic of their having swept the ield. Just after the delivery of the prizes Ex-Governor Sheppard gave a short alk to the boys of the "Sheppard iuards," in recognition of the com liment paid him in giving their quad his name. The picnic dinner was served in the >uilding lately occupied by Minter & Famiescn, and there was plenty for all. The visiting firemen expressed them elves as highly pleased with their visit ,o Newberry. The only thing to mar the festivities )f the day was the unfortunate illness )f Mr. Raymond Beatty, of Anderson. Ee was very seriously ill with conges ;ion, and at one time he was thought :o be dead, but by the untiring efforts Ld skill of Drs. Mayer and Gilder he was brought through and was able to to home on Tuesday. RESOLUTIONS FROM LAURENS.

Quite a pleasant social entertainmen came off in town on Friday night These entertainments are frequeni Now this occurred on the same nigh that there was prayer meeting il Wightman Chapel. Now, we do nc wish to be misunderstood. We do ne object to these social gatherings of th young people at the proper time. W think they not only serve as ments recreations, but as educators and re finers, bnt we do most solemnly ente our protest to the sociables being hel on the same night of a prayer meetin or young men's meeting. It is bette to go to the house of prayer than to house of pleasure. Thbese sociables are got up by a fes young men or boys, who constitut themselves into a "committee"-pre pare a list of the names of young ladie in town, and then send this invitatioi around. Now we have a suggestioi to make to the young ladies-the nexi time a sociable is appointed on th night that there is a prayer meeting i any of the churches in town, instea< of making the X, usual sign of at knowledgemen t, just write opposit your name this sentence: "I am going to prayer meeting to-night." Ifi should be on the night of a meetingc the Y. M. C. A., write this sentenco "Young mian, go to the young men meeting to-night."* Young ladies, if you will act on thes suggestions there will be no mo: sociables on the nights of reguli prayer meeti.ngs.
