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, notwithstand ing the tardiness of our sympathy in this commendable celebration. Our activities have been aroused. A con mittee (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 coml niittee to do the work thoroughly aud in an artistic manner. It remains now with the citizenship of town and coun ty to say whether it were best to adver tise Newberry's resources extensively Lty pamphlets, placards and the like. ' 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 afterwards be distributed through proper channels where it might do the most good. It is well to remember that the illustrated papors and the large daily press will have representatives on the ground, that distinguished men of the North and of the Sou-h 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 celeLra 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 splendors and 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 bopes 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 programme here, but big things are promised, not the least of which is to sce and hear that grand old man, Wade I 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 corn nand 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- I ered primus inter pares-"first among her equals." God torbid that our love of State, I which is only another name for patri otism, shall ever wax cold or diminish t because of increasing years.C WV. E. PELHAM.

C CURIOUS CAPERS OF CATERPILLARS.1 Trains on the Carolina Central Rtailroad ~ Blockaded by Moving Masses of the Pestiferous Insects. P CHAR;.OTTE, N. C.. May 2.-The Carolina Centr'.i trainmen have been having a pe'uliar experience with cater- P pillars for four or five days past. Just east of Lumberton is what is known as o "Big Frmp,'" and the railroad goes y through it on trestle work, broken here L and there in the more solid portions of I the swamp by solid embankments of v earth. Last Tuesday an army of cater pillars began moving out of the swamp, b and when they reached the streams over which the trestle carries and rails they massed on the railroad and pro ceeded to cross on the trestles. The rails and ties were covered inches deep a with the moving mass, and the first I train that encountered them was brought to a dead standstill, the driv- s ing wheels of the engine slipping round - as if the rails had been thoroughly oiled. The engineer exhausted the contents 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 caterpillar trouble, but the very next day a train encoun tered another army of caterpillars crossing 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 tie were actually obscured from sigh t by the masses of caterpillars, and the ground and swamps on each side of the track were littered with the mashed fragments of millions of the caterpillars froin the wheels of proceeding trains, and from this mass an unendurable stench arose. Where they came from is not k nown. I The farmers on this side of thbe swam p 6 express rio uneasiness for the safety ofa their crops so long as the advancing army persists in using the trestle as its 9 means of getting across the steams, for I none of them have got more than half t way cross before a train would come e along and convert them into fertilizer.

[Special to the News and Courier.] COLUAHIA, S. C., ..%pril 29.-One o Columbia's young ladies has carried off a first prize in a competition opened to the world by the Tinies, of Mlanchester, England. That paper otlered a prize for the best composition on the subject: "rhe best book, and why I like it." There were competitors fron France, Germany, Canada, the South American States, Mlexico and the United States. Miss Jessie Sudlow, of this city, won the prize for the senior division Classili :ation, that is, the highe.t order of lite rary tuerit. Miss Sudlow is only 17 years Af age, anl is a pupil in the public schools of Colunibia, a very gratifyit;g idditional fact. 31iss Sudlow's subject was "Ivanhoe," and she has promised i copy of her essay to this otlice. It 2as not yet been published, but the >tlicial announcement of tle award of :be premium bas been made in the Irimes. Miss Ethel Sudlow, sister of the prize winner, has been commended highly 'or a paper contributed to the junior Jivision of contestants. Miss Sudlow's Etsay. The "Wizard of the North" has east .is spell over the young people of two renerations and many lardZ. The in autation which bound me is not of 5cotland, yet still of the North, and :bough "Ivanhoe" had the great ad antage of being first to fali into my >ands, I still think it the book of all >thers that I would choose could I lave but one. We have two copies. )ne, mine, was given nie by my uncle when I was 12 years old, and the con iftion it is now in (it was only papi-r :overed) testities to the frequency with ,vhich I consult it. It has grown to be ny standard of comparison with other >ooks, its characters my standard with which to measure other characters when not utterly dissimilar. As to why I like it, I never inquired of my elf. Because I like mu.ture, I suppose. -ow I will try to scrape the roseleaf to hid the color since that is in the bond. Ne all know the measured sweep of he couplet: Day set on Norham's eastled steep, And Tweed's fair river, broad and deep. Thie whole of "Ivanhoe" moves to he same najestic music. The Saxon 'ranklin's the Norman tournament, he austere tribunal of the Templars, ach strikes different chords, but all )roduce divine harmony. Each and very character is many sided, full, ife-like, and acts Irom personal mnotive or under circumstances that, affecting hem alone, still irmpel them to take )art in the development of the whole. rhe encounter of the faithful Gurth vith the Miller, while Robin Hood's and looked on at the sport, is told vith the same charm and spirit as the ontest between Cweur-de-Lion, as Le soir Faineant, and Athelstane, with he beauty and nobility of Eigland as pectators; and we completely forgot hat Robin Hood is an outlaw in re nenibering with King Richard that he s the "Prince of good fellows." The voo"land life, suggested rather than lescribed, is as entracing as the forest f Arden, while not being in any sense , copy. And Rebecca, the beautif,-I, kigl:-pirited Jewish maided! it isbne vho is the real heroine, she who noved through the pages with the iety of Ruth, the courage of udith, and the self-denial of Jeph hah's daughter. She compels at nee our love, our reverence, and our ching sym.patby. However many. lies we have read it another perusal aut imnpresses the lesson, that at all tages of the world's history there w.ere aen "leal and true," not to a king nly, but to the noblest instinct of that rder-wvhich I for one do not believe Sextinct--true knighthood. The luild is, I trust, training cadets who ill be belted knights some day. Let bemr take up a crusade against wrong, nd never forget the rose on their leeve. MARRIE).
