About two weeks ago a negro 'girl eloped with Irvin Maffett, and got married. On Sunday morning she wanted to go to church and her liege lord refused to give his c->nsent, and locked up her Sunday tix ings.

They had some words, and Maffett got his rifle loaded with shot and fired at Sondley, the load hit ting him in the left arm and hip. The wvounds are not serious.

What is the matter with the present administration? Then when Newberry County can boast of the two Keitts, father and son, Representatives Sligh and Blease, Sampson Pope and many others, it is strange that the editor should be crying for a statesman. If he would cross his county line he would run up against Senator Hemphill, Bob Aldrich, Henry A. Meetze, Hon. God frey B. Fowler, Josh Ashley and a host of leaders of the people.

Highes of al1 in Teavning PowerT THE DAY AT LITTLE MOUNTAIN. A rleasant Tz'me Enjoyed by a Large Crowd at the Lutheran Iteunton. About two hundred persous from Newberry attended the Lutheran re union at Little lountain on Wednes day, the 5th. A half-hour's ride on the C. N. and L Railroad brought you to the station, and a walk of half a mile to the western side of the mountain, where the addresses were delivered and the picuic was held. Rev. Dr. Hawkins delivered an in teresting address ou "Historical Lu theranismn," in which he sketched the growth of the Lutheran Church in South Carolir.a the past hundred years. The church had in 1781 six ministers and fifteeu churches in the State, and there are now fifty ministers, ninety Lhurehes and 10,000 member:. Maj. H. A. Meetze, of Lexington, spoke next on the educational work of the Lutheran Church, and especially about the good work of Newberry Col lege, which he commended for its high standing and urged that it be more earnestly supported. Mai. 3Neetze's address concluded the exercises of ihe reunion. The larger portion of the people then ate their picnic dinner in groups, while those who were hungry for hash were erved at the barbecue dinner, which was prepared by Mr. Auam Hipp, and given for the benefit of Little Mountain ,hurch. Little Mountain is a unique range tbout three miles long and quite steep. It rises directly up in a comparatively [lat couutry. There are three peaks, the highest eminence being the central mne, from whose summit there is a fine viev: extending a distance of fifteen or ,wenty miles. The writer saw the moke curling up from the chimney of ,he Newberry Cotton Mills, but the own was hidden by tie pine forests outh towards the south. It was quite a tiresome climb to the ;ummit, for the ascent is very steep, md you must be as careful as if on the Blue Ridge. We saw five ladies who nade the ascent without any seeming lifficulty, and their combined avoirdu ois is one thousand pounds. One of he party has almost passed three-score md ten. The re-union feature of the occasion was a most pleasant one. The writer ;aw many people greeting each other who had not met in forty years, and )thers in twenty and thirty years. It was estimated that 3,000 people were present. They came from Colum >ia, Prosperity, Newberry, Lexington, Edgefield, Fairfield, Orangeburg and )ther parts of the State, and a few from Florida and Georgia. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by verybody and the best order prevailed. Nothing marred the occasion except he accident that befell Mr. John Epting, of Lexington County. A dead ree fell upon him, and injured him luite seriously. The tree was kicked own by a mule. THE LOT SALE. The lots of the Piedmont Land Im 3rovement and Investment Company vere offered for sale by Mr. L. T. 5evin, the popular auctioneer of Co umbia. There was no demand among he people who were present, as they vere bent on having a pleasant time imong friends and acquaintances than ecuring a summer residence. The Eerald and News has been informed )y Mr. H. C. Moseley, president of the ?iedmont Land Improvement and In retment Company, that since the sale me has received inquiries about no less han twenty-three of these lots from >arties who desire to purchase. This s the result of the full advertisement iven the property in calling attention o the advantages of this mountain. ~his mountain is destined in the near uture to be a delightful summer re ort, and those who buy lots now will ecure the advantages of ground floor rices.

As the colored janitor opened C te cell door to give Tihomps:on his nner, the prisoner knocked him i ide and leaped out of the second C ory window, and took leg bail a ross the meadows in rear of the jail, d irsued by the janitor. Sam is a sharp 1I gro, and yelled "Catch him!" as if he c as the pursuer instead of the fugitive. t. e even had the impudence to ask for c gun as he passed Mr. Coppock's and IJ n through Mr. Houseal's yard, jump- n g several fences. Editor Wallace d Kged him off with a big pistol on a eers street, but he didn't stop. He 0 t into Cline's woods and,.was lost t- a ht. He went to Mr. Barre's place a STuesday night, got his pistol and 11 >thing and left the country. t Thompson was commit ted to jail on t] onday afternoon by Trial J ustice1li aybin for stealing fence rails from ib r. D. Walter Barre. He is an old t] I bird, and made a similar escape ten t1 ars ago by jumping out of the third tI >ry window of the Newberry jail. a: ti tI S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. I< Powder tf LY PDREc CROSS I NG SWOLLEN BEAV-21:1),131-. The Thrilling Experience of Four New berry Girls and Six Young en last Sunday. A party of Newberry young l:lios and .entlenen had a thrilling experi ence last Sunday afternoon im crossilig Ie ,ver(ai creek on their way hone from Trinity church. 11he couples were all riding in buggies. Ne-srs. Marcus Spearian and W. A. Eant drove into the creek, wbich was swollen very much by a rain about 5 o'clock. They crossed in safety and were fol lowed by Mr. Jno. C. Wilson, Jr., with Miss Sallie Wheeler, who also drove across all right. While Mr. Jesse Mc Fall with Miss Lois Fant and Mr. Robert Kibler with 3iss Ola Wil-on were crossing, IMr. McFall's horse bu gan plunging backwards, and M1r. Kib ler, seeing his danger and that of his companion, got out of his buggy and waded in the stream to render assist ance. The horse which he was driving instantly turned around, upsetting the buggy and the young !ady into the swollen stream. At this point all the young ladies became very much fright ened-and the boys also-at their peril ous position. In fact, the "rescuer" couldn't take a step further, and he acknowledged that "the water wts too deep." The situation was growing more seri)us when Marcus Spearnian waded in and rescued the young lady who had occupied a seat in the buggy which was upset. Alr. E. F. Riser with Miss Eloise Welch did not attempt to cross. Some of the party drove around several miles and crossed the creek where the water was shallow, and they all got to town after a fortunal e escape from the depths of the turbulent Beaverdam.

The Question of the Refundment of Sta Taxes-Big Amount Involved Uuder the Old Exemption Act. [The State, St h.] The claim of the Newberry Cottk Mill for the refundment of a larg amount of taxes paid the State is con ing into notice again. Once beforeTh State has been called upon to give th facts of the case, but that has bee some months ago. Yesterday Assistant Attorney Gene ral Townsend began to investigite th matter, it being referred to hini i y th comptroller general for his opinion, an on this opinion, no doubt, the case wil be settled. He had nearly completed .th work of hunting up the various law bearing on the matter last night am expects to complete the work thi morning. The usult will hardly b( made public, however, until the comp troller returns. Briefly told, the circumstances arE these: The legislature in 1S73 passed an act exempting cotton mills fron taxation for a certain number of year, in order to encourage their establish ieut. As the years went on severa other acts were passed, and finally the exemption clause was repealed. It 1SS6 the mill was chartered, and it is claimed that it is exempt from taxa. tion under its charter. The case is badly mixed, but the decision is no doubt near at hand.

Another Cure for Rheumatitm. LAKE tirY FLA. P. P. P. Mn'fg Co., Savannah, Ga. GENTLEMEN-I had Bheumatism for over six years, and last May was taken down and c infined to my bed. My legs and feet were badly swollen and the color of a red apple, and I was in a fearful condition. I heard of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas sium), and after seeing what the in gredients were-as the formula is on the bottle-I concluded to try it, and after taking three small bottles was able to go down town and attend to my business, and I must say that I feel like another man. Am now taking the large size, and to-day I believe that I will soon be as likely as any man of sixty-one years of age can expect to be. A. C. LANG. Merit Wins. We desire to say to our citizen,;, that for ears we have been selling Dr Eing's New Discovery for Comsumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Elec tric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such iniversal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to ,arantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satis factory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. Robertson & Gil ler, Druggists DEATHS. Mrs. B. H. Waldrop, wife of Mr. W. W.
