Highest of all in Leavening Power Ro)bi A Sad and Sudden Death. fo Our community was shocked and th saddened on last Saturday morning of when the news was received here from C Little Mountain that Mrs. Mower was at dead. She had gone down with the children to enjoy the picnic. We were at the train in the morning when the pa party left, and Mrs. Mower was look- be ing remarkably well, and was unusu- mE ally bright and lively. The thought of never entered our mind that so soot Cy the summons would come, but it is a rer happy and consoling thought that she lin was prepared to meet it. The particulars of the death are given his in the following from the A. R. Pres- ou byterian by her pastor: mc DR. GRIER: Dear Bro.-I write a ur hasty line to inform you and the many friends of Mrs. Cynthia Mower among ily the readers of the Presbyterian of her so death. It occurred last Saturday, the oul 23d inst., at Little Mountain, a station th eight miles below Prosperity on the thr Columbia and Newberry road. We so were taking the "Busy Bees," the mis- bul aionary society of the children of our hei church, to spend the day and have a prc picnic on Little Mountain. It was ne cessary for some of their older friends to accompany theni. Mrs. Mower was always active in such things, and on the invitation of a :-iumber of the chil dren and of Mr. Carl isle who had charge of them, she was with us. We were detained at the station only a little while in arranging to send the baskets in a wagon. All of us then started to walk to the mounlain, about a half mile distant. Minnie Todd and Mrs. C. Mower were walking with Mr. John Lathan, a merchant at that place. Mrs. George Mower and I were walk- A. ing a short distance in rear of them. The Busy Bees and their guests were a considerable distance ahead of us. We Ft had walked some three or four hun dred yards, and Mrs. Mower was talk ing busily to Mr. Lathan about her P1 fondness for children and her temper ance work among them. Suddenly she T caught his arm, exclaiming, "Oh! Mr. Lathan," as if in great pain. He called I to me, and we let her down gently to clu the ground and she was dead. Mr. and La Mrs. Carlisle, and Miss Mamie Hol- the brook, and Mr. Jones joined us at once, ted but all efforts to revive her were una- du< vailing. Mr. George Mower was in au< Charleston on professional business, Fo but on being notified came directly hig home. thc On yesterday at 2.3G p. m., we held laa the funeral services in our church with suc a weeping assembly Twelve children par from her Band of Hope at the cotton cat mill, and twelve from the Band in town, as acted with the pall bearers. We then Za( took the body to Prosperity to lay by eli the side of her beloved husband Duane . Mower. In the quiet and stillness of cie the close of the day of rest we commit- str ted her to the care of the Lord of the He Sabbath till the morning of the resur- mt rection. E. P. MCCLINTOCK. vis Newberry, May 25th, 1891. ( Mrs. Cynthia Mower was born in the ? State of Maine on the 22nd December, Li 1829, and was therefore in her 62nd Li year. In 1852 she was married to Mr. P Duane Mower. In 1854 they decided car to come South, and settled at Pros- an perity. They became thoroughly iden- ho tified with the South- They engaged a in the mercantile business and were Co successful. In February, 1867, Mr. Mower decided to move to Newberry, and here, until his death in 1872, con tinued the mercantile business. After his death the business was con- A' ducted by Mrs. Mower with a degree of success almost unprecedented in this N part of the State. Her business meth ods were models, and her stores wereU always the personifications of neatness. T Although her son, the Hon. Geo. S. Mower, was one of the firm, yet the entire control and direction of the busi ness of the stores was conducted by her. There is one thing in connection ] with her management that is worthy of mention, and that is, that although the firm did a large credit business it wasA rarely ever engaged in lawsuits and litigations with its customers, which we consider a decided credit to the business skill and management. And although in the midst, and the head, of this large business, Mrs. Mower si found time to devote to other things. She took a lively interest in the affairs I of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian . church, of which she was a devoted . member, and contributed liberally of her means to its support and the chari ties of the church. The temperance cause was also dear to her heart, and as president of the Newberry W. C. T. U. si'e was an active worker. She organized Bands at i of Ho~ among the children, and rarely onl 'misse one of the meetings which were the always held on Tuesday afternoon in I the Thompson street church. Her the annual Christmas treats for the chil- bui dren had become one of the institutions on< of Newberry and will be greatly missed. rj She began this work in Newberry abc about seven yaars. .tio: A gentleman remarked to the editor chi of The Herald and News not a great abc while ago, as we were sitting together tee on the steps of our office watching the nai happy throng of boys and girls return- B. ing from "Temperance," as they called Cr( it, that if Mrs. Mower lived ten years longer New berry would be a prohibi tion town. His idea was that her plan I of educating the children in temperance Dri was the only way to bring about ef- the fective prohibition, and we believe he in was right. syr Mrs. Mower was a woman of strong wa mind, of decided convictions and out- an< spoken in maintaining them, but cla! withal kind and gentle and loving in prc her disposition. Her death is a loss to nex the community, and she will be missed the by many. per Her only son, Hon. Geo. S. Mower, I a -prominent lawyer of this bar, was absent in Charleston attending the trial in the Coosaw case as associate p counsel for the State when he received sie the sad intelligence. He came on a spe- Sya cial train to Columbia immediately, the and reached New berry on the 7:30 train nee on the C. N. & L. road Saturday after- ~ non. It is a sore bereavement to him.co The funeral services were largely at- of1 tended on Sunday afternoon, both at the church here and at Prosperity. hea The following gentlemen acted as at]I p all bearers: R. L. McCaughrin, M. A. Carlisle, J. C. Wilson, J. N. Martin, E. C. Jones, J. WV. Chapman, Thos. E. '] Eptirng, R. H. Wright, WV. WV. Hodges Ne and J. WV. Chappell. ing Mr. Geo. S. Mower will continue the cot business, for the present at least, under pui the same style of C. & G. S.

The Returns of Personal Property-A Increase in Valuation-The Assess ments Compared With Last Year. The personal property in Newberry County is valued for taxation at nearl; two million dollars. A statement show ing this valuation by townships an comparing it with the returns of las year may not prove uninteresting. Th Herald and News has obtained th figures from the Auditor's books, an< they are given. We also give a tabli showing the number of horses an< mules for the two years and the assesse< values. Figures are generally very dry but in this year it may prove interest ing to study and compare them. The* ha., been a general increase in valua. tion. The total increase in the count. is $141,340. This does not include th4 increase of nearly $90,000 to be put or the assessment of the bank accordinj to the decision of the Comptroller Gen eral, nor the proposed increase in rail roads assessment. Here are the figures showing the valuation by townships for 1890 and 1891: rown ship. 1890. 1891.

Last year the railroad property in the coun y was assessed at $360,900. This year the returns were more because there are more miles of road built and in opera Jin. The returns have been made and rorwarded to the Comptroller General. [f they are increased as indicated in iome of the published actions of the board of assessors the railroad assess ments will be doubled. If se, the rail road property in the county will be valued at nearly one million dollars of itself. The table above does not in elude the increase ordered made by the Comptroller General in the assessment of the bank stock, which will amount to about $90,000 as stated above. So it will be safe to say that the assessment of personal property in the county will be two million dollars. It will also be observed that of this two million dol lars of assessed property in the county upwards of one-half of it is in Town ship No. 1, in which is the town of Newberry, for when the railroad prop erty and bank stock are added to the vaiuatiwn in No. 1 Township it will gc over one million dollars. The increase in the valuation comes largely from the increase of moneys and credits and enterprises.

A Meeting of the Stockholders of the Cot ton Seed Oil Mill-Capital stock Bead! ly Snbscribed-The Business Sat isfactory. A meeting of the stockholders of the Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and Fertilizer Company was held on last Thursday afternoon in Counci] Chambers, to hear a report from the business manager and in consider the proposition of adding a ginnery to the plant. Mr- Jno. 0. Peoples was made chair. man of the meeting and Mr. Jas.: A. Burton secretary. The shares were well represented at the meeting. Mr. L. W. F'loyd as sec retary and treasurer and manager sub mnitted a report to the stockholders of the doings of the mill since it has been in operation which was satisfactory. The management has been very effi cient and the showing made was a good one. The mill did not get in op. eration until late in the season and was not run long but it did well. The stockholders decided to put in a ginnery and to do so it was necessary to raise about $5,000. It was decided to do thiis by increasing the capital stock and nearly all the stock was readily subscribed at this meeting. The matter of put ting up this machin ery was left to the Board of Directors and they will go to work at an early day, so as to have everything ready by the opening of the season to begin work. It is proposed to put four 60-saw gins. The cotton will be handled by the suction system. It will be lifted right from the wagons and carried to the gins by the machinery, and a bale wfibe 'nned in about fifteen min tere by seed will be bought right thr ythe mill, if the owner desires to sell. If not a convenient arrange ment will be made for reloading them in the wagon. It will be a very con venient arrangement and persons de siring cotton ginned will not have to wait long. The Herald and News is glad to know that this enterprise is in so pros. perous a condition. There is room here for more and b.y building manufactur ing enterprises is the way to build up our town. Where Are the Poll Lists ? Some time ago Auditor Cromer, in obedience t. a recent act of the Legis lature, prepared and sent to the School Trustees in each township a list of the poll-taxpayers on his books. These lists were also published in The Herald and News. The object of this was to have the trustees revise the lists and send the Auditor any names in their townships liable top poil-tax and not now on the lists, so that such names could be en tered for taxation. None of these trustees have yet re ported to the Auditor. They may not understand that it is their duty by act of the Legislature to report, but such is the case. If the Auditor does not soon get a report it will be too late to enter the additional names properly on his books. By the publication of the lists in The Herald and News he has been enabled to add quite a number of names al ready. So that the trustees may know Just what the law is we quote the section in question from the Acts of the last Legislature: "At the expiration of time prescribed by law to receive returns, each Audi tor shall make out and forward to the Board of Trustees of each School Dis trict within his county a correct list of the polls returned from their respective Districts. The School. Trustees shall examine carefully said list and report to the Auditor as soon as practicable the names of all persons who shall have failed or neglectei to make re turns, and it shall be the duty of the Auditor to enter upon his books the names of all persons thus reported to him by the Board of School Trustees."
