The reception was in honor of his re cent election at Georgetown as president of the State Press Association.

The party drove to the Herald and News office, where refreshments had been lavishly provided and Mr. J. Y. Culbreath, of the Newberry bar, welcomed Mr. Wallace in a graceful speech. The press, said he, was the most potent engine of civilization, and the chief factor in the material development of the country. The tone of the South Carolina press was high and it was an honor to preside over such a body. Mr. Wallace was a fearless and a brilliant journalist, and in honoring him New berry washonored. Mr. Wallace responded eloquently and feelingly. He felt the honor that his fellow t3wn-,men had done him and he would strive to continue worthy of their confidence. He would promise them that everything that lay in his power should be done to elevate the tone and augment the usefulness of the press of South Carolina.

To the Editor of The Herald and News: Interest in the Columbia cen tennial grows apace. Newberry has fallen into line, and her arch need not hold its head abashed, uotwithstand- I ing the tardiness of our sympathy in this commendable celebration. Our activities have been aroused. A com wittee (composed of Mr. Blalock and the writer) from the Board of Trade has visited Columbia, has selected a loca tion, has contracted with certain build ers and professional decorators, who are under agreement with the com mittee to do the work thoroughly and in an artistic manner. It remains now with the citizenship of town and couu ty to say whether it were best to adver tise Newberry's resources extensively by pamphlets, placards and the like. ro my mind the occasion will be one that should be employed for all it is worth, for the purpose of making known to the world where Newberry is, what the products of our soil and mills, what our natural environments are, what are our educational facilities, etc. I fancy if advertising material were left unused it could afterv,ards be distributed through proper channels where it might do the most good. It is well to remember that the illustrated papers and the large daily press will have representatives on the ground, that distinguished men.. of the North and of the South are expected to be present to enjoy the festivities of the occasion. It will be an event of a cen tury. Outside of the tinge of sadness that steals over us as we meditate upon the fact that we will not be permitted to participate in the celebration of the second centennial, the occasion should be a joyous one for every son of Caro lina, who feels the impulse of deep de votion to his mother State. There will be much in this celebra tion to inspire us with new hope and renewed zeal, as with backs turned to the shadowy past, we gaze through the vista of time upon the splendo:- -ud achievements of a new century. And with the recollection of the pa triotism that has distinguished South Carolina, whether in the pulpit, on the battle field, in the press, in commerce, in the law, in medicine, or in the peace ful pursuitsof husbandry, may we not encourage new hopes that for our be loved Carolina, her future may be brighter than her glorious past. Every body should attend except those abso lutely hindered, and thus honor our selves as we show to the world that we are yet worthy of that position in the autonomy of States which we have hitherto enjoyed I cannot reproduce the prograinm aere, but big things are promised, not &he least of which is to see and hear that grand old man, Wade Hampton, who has ever been worthy of our profoundest admiration. Our children, too, should be given this op portunity, possibly their last, of shak ing hands with, and of knowing the man who, had Lee been removed by death, would have been placed in com mand of all the forces of the Confed eracy; whose military prowess and civic renown future historians will say equalled that of the bravest and the best of any age. Newberry cannot claim to be the first of the counties in date of establish ment, but she may, by a proper repre sentation at this centennial, entertain a lively hope that she will be consid ered primus inter pares-"first among her-equals." God forbid that our love of State, which is only another name for patri tism, shall ever wax cold or diminish because of increasing years. W. E. PELHA3M.

C., May 2.-The arolina Central trainmen have been, >aving a peculiar experieoce with cater-! illars for four or five daiys past. Just i ast of Lumberton is what is known as - 'Big Swamp," and the railroad goes ~ trough it on trestle work, broken here and there in the more solid portions of i he swamp by solid embankments of ' arth. Last Tuesday an army of cater pillars began moving out of theswamp, and when they reached the streams ver which the trestle carries and rails hey massed on the railroad and pro eeded to cross on the trestles. The ails and -ties were covered inches deepa with the moving mass, and the first train that encountered them was brought to a dead standstill, the driv ing w beels of the engine slipping round: as if the rails had been thoroughly oiled. The engineer exhausted the ontents of his sand box before he got through the swamp and reached a clear stretch of track. It was thought that that trip would be the end of the caterpilla:- trouble, but the very next day a trair; encoun tered another army of caterpillars rossing the trestle and had the same difficulty. The Charlotte bound passenger says the scene was something truly wonder ful. The rail and crossties of the tres tle were actually obscured from sight by the masses of caterpillars, and the ground and swamps on each side of the track were litte'red with the mashed fragments of millions of the caterpillars from the wheels of proceedIng trains, and from this mass an unendurable stench arose. Where they came from is not known.] The farmers on this side of the swamp express no uneasiness for the safety of their crops so long as the advancing army persists in using the trestle as its means of getting across the steams, for none of them have got more than half way cross before a train would come along and convert them into fertilizer.

There were conipetitors froni France Germanv, Canada, the South Americai States, M1exico and the United States -1iss Jessie Sudlow, of this city, wot the prize for the senior division ciassid catiou, that is, the highient order of lite rary merit. Uiss Sud low iswoily 17 year of age, and is a pupil in the publi( schools of Columbia, a very gratifyinq additional fact. Miss Sudlow's subjec was "Ivathoe," and she has prQuise a copy of her essay to this ollice. I has not yet been publiAsied, but thte oth1eial alloulcillemlt of the award oj the premiium bas been iade in tht Times. Miss Ethel Sudlow, sister of Le priz, winner, has been commended Ligi' for a paper contributed to the junioi division of coutestants. Miss Sudlow's Essay. The "Wizard of the North" has caz his spell over the young people of twt, generations and many lands. The in cantation which bound me is not 0 Scotland, yet still of the North, and though "Ivanhoe" had the great ad vantage of being first to fall into my hands, I still think it the book of all others that I would choose could i have but one. We have two copies. One, mine, was given me by my unclE when I was 12 years old, and the con dition it is now in (it was only papei covered) testifies to the frequency with which I consult it. Ithasgrown to be my standard of comparison with othex books, its characters my standard with which to measure other characterQ when not utterly dissimilar. As tc why I like it, I never inquired of my self. Because I like nature, I suppose. Now I wfil try to scrape the roselea tc find the color since that is in the bond. We all know the measured sweep o the couplet: Day set on Norham's castled steep, And Tweed's fair river, broad and deep. The whole of "Ivanhoe" moves tc the same majestic music. The Saxon Franklin's the Norman tournament, the austere tribunal of the Templars, each strikes different chords, but all produce divine harmony. Each atid every character is many sided, full, ife-like, and acts Ironi personal motive Dr under circumstanes that, aftecting them alone, still impel them to take part in the development of the whole. 1The encounter of the faithful G '"h with the Miller, while Robin Hovus band looked on at the sport, is told with the same charm and spirit as I he ontest between Cour-de-Lion, as Le Noir Faineant, and Athelstane, with the beauty and nobility of England as ;pectators; and we completely forgot hat Robin Hood is an outlaw in re membering with King Richard that be s the "Prince of good fellows." The woodland life, suggested rather than Jescribed, is as entracing as the forest >f Arden, while not being in any sense i copy. And Rebecca, the beautiful, bigl-spirited Jewish maided! It is she who is the real heroine, she who :oved through the pages with the >iety of Ruth, the courage of Fudith, and the self-denial of Jeph ;hah's daughter. She co'npels at )nce our love, our reverese, and our ching sympathy. However many :imes we have read it another perusal yut impresses the lesson, that at all stages of the world's history there were nten "leal and true," not to a king >nly, but to the noblest instinct of that >rder-which I for one do no,t believe s extinct-true knighthood. The juild is, I trust, training cadets who will be belted knights some day. Let hem take up a crusade against wrong, nd never iorget the rose on their leeve. MARRIED.
