About two weeks ago a negro girl.eloped with Irvin Maffett, and got married.

They had some words, and Mlaffett got h isrifie loaded with shot and fired at Sondley, the load hit ting him in the left arm and hip. The wounds are not serious.

Highest of all in Leavening Power o~&I 1THE 1).4, AT TATTLE31OUNTAIN A Ileasant Time Enjoy-l by a Large T Crowd at the Lutheran Reunion. About two hundred persons from Newberry attended the Luheran re union at Little Mountain on Wednes- a day, the 5th. A half-hour's ride on the e C. N. and L. Railroad brought you to I the station, and a walk of half a mile to f I the western side of the mountain, v where the addres-es were delivered _ and the picnic was held. . Rev. Dr. Hawkins delivered an in- v teresting address on "Historical Lu- 'I theranismn" in which he sketched the 1 growth of the Lutheran Church in 3 South Carolina the past hundred years. a The church had in 1781 six ministers and fifteen churches in the- State, and there are now fifty ministers, ninety churches and 10,000 inember'. Maj. H. A. Meetze, of Lexington, I spoke next on the educational work of the Lutheran Church, and especially about the good work of New berry Col lege, which he commended for its high standing and urged that it be more earnestly supported. s Maj. Meetze's address concluded the exercises of the reunion. I The larger portion of the people then C i ate their picnic dinner in groups, while C those who were hungry for hash were s served at the barbecue dinner, which C was prepared by Mr. Adam Ripp, and given for the benefit of Little Mountain church. Little Mountain is a unique range about three miles long and quite steep. I It rises directly up in a comparatively flat country. There are three peaks, the highest eminence being the central 8 one, from whose summit there is a fine 1 view extending a distance of fifteen or - twenty miles. The writer saw the e smoke curling up from the chimney of 1 the Newberry Cotton Mills, but the town was hidden by the pine forests , south towards the south. .8 It was quite a tiresome climb to the Y summit, for the ascent is very steep, e and you must be as careful as if on the - Blue Ridge. We saw five ladies who e made the ascent without any seeming difficulty, and their combined avoirdu y pois is one thousand pounds. One of 1 the party has almost passed three-score I- and ten. r- The re-union feature of the occasion is was a most pleasant one. The 'writer r. saw many people greeting each other who had not met in forty years, and others in twenty and thirty years. It was estimated that 3,000 peorle - were present. They came from Colum bia, Prosperity, Newberry, Lexington, r Edgefield, Fairfield, Orangeburg and other parts of the State, and a few from Florida and Georgia. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by is everybody and the best order prevailed. a- Nothing marred the occasion except It the accident that befell Mr. John rY Epting, of Lexington County. A dead s, tree fell upon him, and injured him h quite seriously. The tree was kicked y down by a mule. or THE LOT SALE. d The lots of the Piedmont Land I1 ob provement and Investment Company *d- were offered for sale by Mr. L. T. 4st Levin, the popular auctioneer of Co it lumbia. There was no demand among rh the people who were present, as thpy t were bent on having a pleasant time among friends and acquaintances than securing a summer residence. The Herald and News has been informed by Mr. H. C. Moseley. president of the Piedmont Land Improvement and In nvestment Company, that since the sale lehe has received inquiries about no less than twenty-three of these lots frcom rties who desire to purchase. This is the resu a given the property in calling attenti. to the advantages of this mountain. This mountain is destined in the near vi future to be a delightful summer ret sort, and those who buy lots now will ch secure the advantages of ground floor de prices. wi a tu Tetter, Saltrheum and Cancer are all cured by P.

Sanm Thompson, the only prisoner in n the Newberry jail, made a dash fon ~ liberty on Tuesday at 2 p. mn., and ' escaped. As the colored janitor opened c the cell door to give Thomnpson his dinner, the p)risoner knocked him V aside and leaped out of the second 01 story window, and took leg bail at across the meadows in rear of the jail, d< pursued by the janitor. Sarr is a sharp in negro, and yelled "Catch him!" as if he ca was the pursuer instead of the fugitive. ti He even had the impudence to ask for e] a gun as he passed Mr. Coppock's and n< ,ran through Mr. Houseal's yard, jump- m~ ing several fences.

Once before The Late has been called upon to give the acts of the case, but that has been one months ago. Yesterday Assistant Attorney Gene al Townsend began to investigate the niatter. it being referred to him by the I omptroller general for his opinion, and a this opinion, no doubt, the case will e settled. He had nearly completed the vork of huuting up the various laws earing on the matter last night and xpects to complete the work this noriiig. The result will hardly be nade public, however, until the comp roller returns. Briefly told, the circumstances are I hese: The legislature in 1873 passe, nu act exempting cotton mills from axation for a certain number of years n order to encourage their establish nent.
