Itiscrtily making haste very slow
ly. Why not call a meeting of all the
citizenls and discuss and make known
the advantages of sach an organization,
and thereby infuse life into the associa
tion, create an enthusiasm for perfec
tion of the organization. WVeabstolutely
need more publie spirit, public enter
prise, and a vast deal more of energy,
and a vast deal'less of selfishness. Up,
gentlemen, and look-to the interest of
your town. Your duty to yourselv4s,
to your families, and to posteriy, all
demand that you, not only actively,
but liberally create, sustain, .and sup
port all such enterprises as have for
their end the enlargement and advance
ment of every interest of our town. We
want less apathy and more enterprise
and more energy, and then the world
will be better off by our having lived
in it.
Mr. Irvin Boozer, of the St. Luke's
section, had the misfortune to lose his
Skitchen by fire this (Wednesday) mnorn
ring about 3 o'clock. Besides culinary
-articles usually kept in a kitchen that
is used as a dIning room, Mr. Boozei
ad his entire wheat crop destroyed,
,and a portion of the wheat had been
ground. He had no insurance, and
being a man of ordinary means, this
loss falls heavily upon him. The fire
is supposed to have originated in an
rash barrel.
The encampment of the Farmers'
Alliance next week promises to be the
biggest thing of the .season. Judging
from reports from differgut sections of
the country, there will be an immense
throng here. Mr. WV. JTake Mills' bar
ibecue at the same timeand place will
also draw a large crowd who are not
1farmers in the true sense, but are far
mers' daughters and farmers' wives.
Everybody knows that they will get a
jfirstlass dinner when Jake Mills sets
about preparing a barbecue. Besidet
rthis, such distinguislied speakers as
Hon. K. C. Butler yill attract large
crowds from a distance.
Mr. Jacob C. Counts, the manufac

cradle, is now going to add another in

8and new machinery, and will manufac
ture a first-class grade of ax handles.
Prosperity needs more just such men
as Mr. Counts, who are willing to en
egage in such enterprises. There iare
emany such enterprises that would wily
Srequire a few thousand~ dollars, that
Itcould be profitably managed here. For
instance, a broom factory, a canning
factory, a lace factory, an oil mill and
an oil refinery. All these .and more
kcould be put into operation here, if our
Speople only had the will. They have

Death of Professor A. S. Scheetz.
[('nrresonde'u e" G:reen ville" New"s,.1
CENTRAL, S. C.. Aug. is-l'rof. A.6.
Scheetz died last night after illne~s or
ten days. 'rhe prfesi-or has leei prin
cipal of our High School for the last
year and has tilled that position so
ably that he had been re-elected to that
position agaii. He was a gentle,
kindly man, and an earnest Christian
worker, being superintendent of both
the Pre.byterian and Baptist Sunday
schools. He had many warm friends
who will miss him much and lament
his sad death.
Mrs. Scheetz leaves to-night with
his remains for their former home in
Pennsylvania.
One year ago to-day the -mortal re
mains of Mr. Thnias P. Slider were
buried in Westview Cemetery, Atlanta,
Georgia.
Mr. Slider was born and reared in
Lexington County, and when a young
man engaged in teaching. He then
read law and removed to Newberry,
where he was admitted to the bar and
associated for some time with Mr. Hen
ry Summer in the practice of the law.
In the year 1855, in connection with
Mr. James. N. Crosson, he published
the Newberry Rising Sun, a weekly
newspaper. Soon after Mr. Crosson
removed to the West and Mr. T. F.
Greneker became associated with him
in the paper business until the war.
Mr. Slider enlisted asa private and was
in service on the coast.
After the war be published the Pro
gressive Age, a paper devoted to the
rogreive development of the country,
but failing in health he abandoned
journalism and removed to Atlanta,
where he remained to the day of his
death engaged in literary work.
He was twice married; first to Miss
Ellen Ring, of Charleston. His second
wife was Miss Willie Gilder, of .Edge
field, who survives him. By his first
marriage he had three children, a
daughter and two sons, all of whom
survive 1im.
Mr. Slider was a man of untiring
energy, wonderful fluency and strong
imagination, and during his journal
istic career wrote a number of local ro
mances which were read with much
pleasure particularly by the younger
members of the community.
The deceased had many good traits.
I. his business transaptions he was
never hard or exacting but rather kind
and generous. Like most mortals he
had his weaknesses as well as his
stronger side, and. had it not been for
a restless spirit that would occasionally
possess him, giving him at times the
appearance. of carelessne he would
have been a phenomenal character, so
remarkable . were his volubility of
th&ught and utterance, his power of
description and his energy of action.
"After life's fitful fever he sleeps
well."
Newberry, August 2, 1889.
Departed this transitory life on the
night of the 29th of July, 1889, after a
long and painful illness, Mr. James
Lanbert Blease, in the 36th year of his
The deceased was a native of New
berry. He was the eldest son of Mr.
J. well Blease.
In his earlier years he is remembered
as a comely, obedient and dutiful ch id,
developing into a handsome youth of
bright, intellectual power which gave
promise of a happ .and useful life.
He read law with Major Jas. N. Bax
ter and evinced the po:wession of a so
erior talent for his .chosen profession;
bt failure in health made hitn an in
valid .for years when at last the shat
tered temple yielded up the. kind -and
gentle spirit which once animated it.
In the quiet of Rosemont, upon the.
friendly bosom ofmotherearth, and un-i
der the soughing of the pines, hiis mate
rialbody.win "see away the hours,"
while his srt,we trust, trill be at rest
with his Kaer in the paradise of God.
