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 refreshmeuts 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 was honored. Mr. Wallace responded eloquently and feelingly. He felt the honor that his fellow townbmen 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.

Suber's plantation, four miles from town, was accidentally killed by Mr. Suber's son George, a youth of seventeen, on Fri day evenmng, the 1st instant. The young man was returning from hunt ing, and on entering the house he lifted the gun from his shoulder, and in doing so the hammer struck one of the posts on the porch. Trhe load of shot was discharged and struck the woman in the face and neck. She was sitting on a pile of rock on the side of the house forty feet distant from the porch, and was just in the act of lighting her pipe. Death occurred in ten minutes. She had been a servant in the family for a long time. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of accidentally kill m ig. How's Your Wife.

L(To the Editor of The Herald and A News: Interest in the Columbia cen teunial grows apace. -Newberry has fallen into line, and her arch need not hold its head abashed, notwith:erind ing the tardiness of our sympathy in this commendable celebration. Our a : activities have been aroused. A com- th wittee (composed of Mr. Blalock and Et the writer) from the Board of Trade has th visited Columbia, has selected a loca- "I tion, has contracted with certain build- Tli ers and professional decorators, who II are under agreement with the comi- s mittee to do the work thoroughly and in an artistic manner. It remains now th with the citizenship of town and coun- ca ty to say whether it were best to adver- ra tise Newberry's resources extensively of by pamphlets, placards and the like. sel 'o my mind the occasion will be one ad that should be employed for all it is w: worth, for the purpose of making a known to the world where Newberry ha is, what the products of our soil and ot mills, what our natural environments th are, what are our educational facilities, Ti etc. I fancy if advertising material were left unused it could afterwards be wi distributed through proper channels flr where it might do the most good. It di is well to remember that the illustrated pap-rs and the large daiiy press will , have representatives on the ground, that distinguished men of the North hi and of the South are expected to be ge present to enjoy the festivities of the ca occasion. It will be an event of a cen- Sc tury. Outside of the tinge of sadness th that steals over us as we meditate upon va the fact that we will not be permitted ha to participate in the celebration of the Ot second centennial, the occasion should h be a joyous one for every son of Caro- Oi lina, who feels the impulse of deep de- wl votion to his mother State. di There will be much in this celebra- cO tion to inspire us with new hope and w renewed zeal, as with backs turned to m the shadowy past, we gaze through the b, vista of time upon the splendors ar.d w achievements of a new century. w And with the recollection of the pa- wi triotism that has distinguished South se Carolina, whether in the pulpit, on the N battle field, in the press, in commerce, fi in the law, in medicine, or in the peace- W ful pursuitsof husbandry, may we not t 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- t lutely hindered, and thus honor our Fr selves as we show to the world that we th, are yet worthy of that position in the ea autonomy of States which we have pr hitherto enjoyed. I cannot reproduce ev the programme here, but big things are lif promised, not the least of which is to or see and hear that grand old man, Wade tb Hampton, who has ever been worthy pa of our profoundest admiration. Our Tl children,' too, should be given this op- W portunity, possibly their last, of shak- ba ing hands with, and of knowing the w man who, had Lee been removed by c0 death, would have been placed in con mand of all the forces of the Confed- tI eracy; whose military prowess and .1) civic renown future historians will say equalled that of the bravest and the m, best of any age. is Newberry cannot claim to he the w first of the counties in date of establish- de ment, but she may, by a proper repre- of sentation at this centennial, entertain a a lively hope that she will be consid- hi ered primus inter pares-"first among w her equals." ni God forbid that our love of State, PH which is only another name for patri- Ju otism, shall ever wax cold or diminish th because of increasing years. or: WV.

Co CURIOUs CAPERs OF CATERPILLARS. i --- Jo Trains on the Carolina Central Railroad Pa Blockaded by Moving Masses of the Pestiferous Insects. P CHARLO'TTE, N. C., May 2.-The Carolina Central trainmen have been having a peculiar experience with cater- p pillars for four or five days past. Just ha east of Lumberton is what is known as or "Big Swamp," and the railroad goes I through it on trestle work, broken here and there in the more solid portions of all the swamp by solid embankments of vi earth. Last Tuesday an army of cater- a pillars began moving out of the swamlp, 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 B rails and ties were covered inches deep at with the moving mass, and the first Pi train that encountered them w:as ( brought to a dead standstill, the drlv- s ing wheels of the enginleslipping rounld - as if the rails had been thoroughly ,oiled. The engineer exhausted the contents of his sand box before he got through the swamp and reacbed 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.

C., April 29.-One lumbia's VIung ladies has carried (ff irst prize in a competition opened to L world by theTiies. of Manchester, igland. That paper offered i prize for e best composition on the subject: 'he best book, and why I like it." ere were coipetitors from France, rnany, Canada, the South Amerivan Ates, -Mexico and the Vnited Stics. 1i6s Jessie Sud low, of this city, won e prize for the senlior division classiti tionl, that is, the highest order of lite y merit. Miss Sudlow isonly l7years age, and is a pupil in the public iools of Columbia, a very gratifying ditional fact. Miss Sudlow's subject Ls "Ivanhoe," anid she has protuised :opy of her essay to this olice. It s not yet been published, but the icial announcemient of the award of a premium a been made in the ines. Iiss Ethel Sudlow, sister of the prize iner, has been commended highly -a paper contributed to the juni>r -isiou of contestants. Miss Sudlow's Essay. rhe "Wizard of the North" has east spell over the young people of two nerations and niany lands. The in atation which bound me is not of tland, yet still of the North, and ugh "Ivanhoe" had the great ad ntage of being first to fali into my uds, I still think it the book of all iers that I would choose could I ve but one. We have two copies. te, mine, was given me by my uncle ien I was 12 years old, and the con ,ion it is now in (it was only paper vered) testities to the frequency With) iich I consult it. It has grown to be 1 standard of comparison with other oks, its characters my standard with iich to measure other characters ien not utterly dissimilar. As to iy I like it, I never inquire(l of my f. Because I like nature, I suppose. )w I will try to scrape the roseleaf to d the color since that is in the b-nd. e all know the measured sweep of e couplet: )ay set on Norham's vastled steep. tnd Tweed's fair river, brod and deep. Tile whole of "Ivanhoe" mjoves to e same naj-stic niusic. The Saxon anlkliu's the Norman tournament, e austere tribunal of the Templars. h strikes different chords, but all oduce divine harmony. Each and ery character is many sided, full, e-like, and acts lrom personal motive under circumstances that, aflecting em alone, still impel them to take rt in the development of the whole. ie encounter of the faithful Gurth th the Miller, while Robin Hood's ud looked on at the slort, is told th the saie cbarni and spirit as the ntest between Cpurule-Lion, as Le ir Faineant, and Athelstatie, With e beauty arid nobility of England as ectators; and we completely forgot at Ribin Hood is an outlaw in re mibering with King Richard that lie the "Prince of good fellows." The )odland life, sugested rather thau scribed, is as entracing as the forest Arden, while not being in any sense -opy. And Rebecca, the beautiful, g.-pirited Jewish rnaided! It is she io is the real heroine, she who ed through the pages with the Aty of Ruth, the courage of dith, and the self-denial of Jeph ah's daughter. She compels at ce our love, our reverence, and our bing sympathy. However many nes we have read it anlother perulsal t imipre-ses tbe lessoi, that at all iges of the wvorld's history there were en "leal and true," not to king ly, but to the noblest instinct of that der-which I for one do not believe extinct-true knighthood. The ild is, .[ tr'ist, training cadets who 1 be belted knights some day. Let em take up a crusa'de against wrong, d never forget tihe rose on their eve. 3MARRIED.
