Wright, the new pastor of the Baptist Church at New berry, will reach Newberry on Satur day and preach at the Baptist Church next Sunday mornimg. We take the following fromi the Edge field Chronicle of last week in regard to the new pastor : "Our beloved young friend, the Rev. George t. Wright, will come home from Louisville this week, and enter at once upon his duties as pastor of the Baptist Church at Newberry. For so young a man to be called straight from the U niversity to so important a charge is a high but deserved compliment." The Johnston Monitor says: "Rev. Geo. A. Wright will be or dained as a minister of the gospel on Wednesday night of next week, in the Johnston Baptist Church. The ordi nation sermnon will be preached by Rev. Dr. Lansing Burrows, ci Augusta; the charge to the candidate, by the Rev. J. W. Perry, of Ridge; ordinatic'n prayer, by Rev. WV. T. Hundley; welcome into the ministry, by Rev. J. H. Boldright, of Batesburg. Benediction by the can didate. The services will be interest ing throughout and will be witnessed by a large congregation."

Johuson, general manager of the Three C's railroad, arrived in the j city yesterday from Columbia. He i was visited by a World-Budget re- d porter, but though he admitted that he b was in the city on important business b connected with the Three C's, he re fu.,ed absolutely to say anything about his mission to Charleston, nor would he talk about the condition of the road. In the afternoon he left for New York to attend to business connectei with his road. It was rumored arounc town vesterday that the motive of Col Johnson's movements is an attempt oi the part of the bondholders of the Threl C's to settle its debts and resume busi ness without the sale of the road. Re ceiver Lord is in New York, attendin to matters pertaining to the road.

PAYING TIIE WAGES OF ITS EMPLOYEES W AND OTH ER DEBTS. ul [Sunday News, 1st.] . Judge Simonton signed a very in portant order in the Three C's Rail road cases in the United States Court yesterday morning. It was passed on a motion ly Re- w ceiver Lord and authorizes him to issue d cirtiticates of indebtedness for an d amount not exceeding S.i0,000, th- cer- . tificates payable in two years at s per centum interest per annum, and to ti constitute a first lien on the property of the road. It further authorizes him to pay the I wages ot employees for the month of w November, 1890, amounting to $6,543, C and for the first ten days in December, E 1S90, amounting to $2,990. If there is h not money enough on hand to pay ra these amounts !,e is empowered to bor row the deficiency and issue certifi- C cates therefor, payable 'n two years, h and drawing interest at a rate of 7 per p centum per annum.

A ni clear skin, a bright eye, flue teeth, ri well-kept hands, glossy hair, a good carriage and a firm step are certainly th passports of beauty. The more so since they endure when mpre bloom has re passed away. While these things are being looked after by dentist, hair dresser and maicure, it will be well for my lady to further pursue her efforts. vi She may be troubled with dyspepsia, M may have no appetite, perhaps is gen- h( erally debilitated and has no zest for au any subject. Perhaps incipient fever has secured a foothold, and lends a hectic flush to the cheek and an un wonted brilliancy to the eye. It will cC be then the beaute de diable.

PROSPERITY, February 4.-Prosper ty, like all historic towns and places, 3 noted for as many things of as man itferent natures and classes, but tht ey-stone to this great arch seems tc e that, according to population, it is ecoming noted as a fit place to com ,it suicides. If there is such a fasci ation around here I don't happen tc now it, and hope if there is that it 1on't visit our house. Three suicides have been committed >r performed) here in a little less than Ve years. First was Wilhelm Wal ers, a G'erian who had contracted vith Dave Suber, near Waiton, to vork as a farm laborer for the year z86. A dispute arose, and Wilhelm Valters concluded that he wouid die efore he would go back to live with ir. Suber, and acting upon this con lusion, he obta.ned a rope from a eighboring well and hanged himself row a beam in Wheeler & Moseley's lill. The next victim was a man living -ith Col. N. H. Young, whose face was ot quite as white as some people's ees I know, had some trouble with is Ethiopian wife and concluded that e would swing his head to a pine nib, which he did, and Nwent the -ay of all flesh. Some people hose faces are something like An iony's think they have met him on irk nights since, but I guess Anthony m't want to trouble any of them, and he did I don't suppose he has any me to spare. SUICIDE OF M. JNO. A. HARMON. Our third case of suicide was that of r. John A. Harmon, a dentist who as well known: aot only in Newberry Dunty, but also in Lexington and dgefield. He committed suicide at is home here on Friday night, or ,ther Saturday morning. I did not attend the inquest held by roier Buist on Saturday morning, mene I will not weary you with the ,olonged evidence as elicited from the itnesses at the inquisition, but will mply give a statement of facts as nar .ted to me by Mrs. Fannie Harmon, ife of the deceased, with whom I had talk very early Saturday morning. First, the writer saw Dr. Harmon on riday evening at the Prosperity Hotel; oke to him, "Good evening, doc r"; response, " Good evening, Capt. hites." He seemed very calm. A tort time afterward I saw Dr. Har on in front of T. L. Schumpert's re, where I was talking to John W. nith. Dr. Harmon asked Mr. Smith go home with him and spend the ght. Both left together-Dr. Harmon ling, Mr. Smith walking. Before daylight news was received at e Prosperity Hotel that Dr. John A. armon had committed suicide. I paired to the homestead and found rs. Harmon, Mrs. Domini,- and Mr. >hn W. Smth at the house. Mr..Smith escorted me to the room; ewed the body of Mr. Harmon; saw rs. Harmon next; had a talk with r, which is in substance as this: "Dr. d I retire about 11 o'clock, after owing Mr. Smith his room. The r. lay in bed a short time when he ncluded that he would get up and go his mother's in Lexington. I in mted that he remain at home until orning, especially as he had Mr. nith for company. He finally agreed wait until morning to go to his other's. However, he got out of bed d dressed, putting on his boots, over oes, &c., and said he would go any >w. i. e. to his mother's. I again in ~ted that he wait until morning. He ain agreed, and came to bed, un essing and lying down naturally. I ticed that his eyes were wvild and ring and that he was not disposed sleep. I was overcome by fatigue id fell to sleep. I knew nothing more itil about 2 o'clock, when .1 was oused or awakened by a deep gur ing, or snoring sound in the' house. felt for Dr. H., he was not there. I .led Mr. Smith, he awoke, went to r. Dominick's, who lives near, called r. Dominick, who in turn called Dr. 'yche. We found the room next to di ng room locked; heard heavy breath g inside; I did not go in; Dr. told me t to go in." This in substance s what rs. Harmon says, except that Dr. armon had threatened to take his e before; said that he would perish if Sdid not take his life. Thus ends the life of a notable char ite. Dr. Harmon has long been con lered a semi-lunatic. Talking about suicides, it has oc trred to me that the natural curiosity some men and women will lead them far as to become exceedingly anxious see how the other world looks. >me back again they can't.

Bow rs and Boozer who know a great many -ings vie with each other in seeing ho can give the biggest price for the ~ast cotton. The only reason that the amne of Messrs. Boozer and Bowers, as not -nentioned last week in connec on with the cotton buyers was, that seems to be an established fact that ey are men who "know a great many aings," and are known of, and known y every body who sells cotton, buys ~rtilizers, sugar, molasses, &c. It was bought to be a solid fact, that these latter day gentlemen were known all ver this glorious land of ours, and had ot "departed these coasts."

Febrau ry :2.-Blair's educational bill in a new form and uner new auspices is to be revived in Congress before the present session closes. Representative McComas and other Southern Rlepublican Represen tatives have had the subject under consideration ever since the Blair bill was "knocked out'" in the House. The new measure provides for the establishment of two industrial sc-hools in each State to be supported by Fed eral appropriations No estimates are yet given out as to how much money will be required annually to c-arry out the scheme, but it will probably run up into milllons. There is but a slim chance for the proposed bill to receive favorabile con sideration b'-tween now and the 4th of, March. but thbe measulre is so plausible that it is bound to attract wide atten tion.

It was 'er 12 o'clock at night when they ad urned, and during the session they id talked over 120,000 words. Two eographers took the report, and by ctating tbeir notes into phonographs r typewriters to transcribe, they had 1 the copy ready for the printers by o'clock in the morning, and the Re >rd was on the desk of the Senators hen Congress convened on.
