the cases were con tested vigorously.
When The Herald and News wen
to press last week the verdict in tht
Jim Davis case had not been an
nounced. It was guilty. The sentenc

"Mr. Blumienberg chose for his 'eello
olo his favorite master's Dunkler's
'Danse Hollandaise," and, as was to
e expected, created something in the
lature of a furore. Blumnen berg's coam

raws forth the most beautiful and

ELY PURE
HE STOLE A BALE OF COTTON,
Was Captured and is Now in Jail.
On Tuesday morning early, before the
buziness men were at their places of
business, James Suber alias Orlando
Gallman, drove into Newberry with a
one nore wagon loaded wiLh one bale
of cotton. He sold it to J. N. Martin.
It weighed 53 pounds and be received
$35.96 for it. He had unloaded it at
the Cotton MIlls and received his
money and was starting home. About
that time Irviu Maffett, colored, came
into town. He had had a bale of cot
ton at Mr. Antine Buzbardt's gin
house the night before but on Tuesday
morning it was not there. He saw th.
wagon tracks and came to Newberry.
The bale had his name on it. Sammer
Bros. had a lie,i on it. The cotton was
soon spotted and Policeman B:shop
was next seen riding on the wagon
with Suber alias Gallinan towards the
office of Justice Maybin. The money
was recovered and Suber alias Gall
man was sent to the j:ail to a wait his
trial at the uaxt term of the lenious
Court.
The cotton was sold in the name of
Jim Suber, although the proper name
of the party is Orlando Gallmain and
he lives on Mr. T. B. Litzsy's place.
Gallman was in Newberry on .lon
day iuterested as one of tLe officers
of the church in a case against
some parties for disturbing the peace.
It is also said that he got some cotton
a few days ago that did not belong to
hin, but he claimed that that was
through mistake.
He is also said to be an exhorter or
preacher in his church.

Marriage Bells.
On last Wednesday evening at the
residence of Rev. E. P. McClintock,
Mr. Sam B. Jones and Miss Mamie
Holbrook were united in marri :ge, the
Rev. E. P. McCliutock officiating.
After the marriage a very delightful
reception was held at the same place, a
few intimate friends and relatives of
the parties participating.
This Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock,
Capt. S. J. McCaughrin and Miss Ione
Fant will be married in the Presbyte
rian church.
A reception will be tendered the bridal
party after the marriage to-night at the
residence of the bride's mother Mrs. F.
J. Fant, .and to-morrow evening an
other reception will be held at the resi
dence of Col. R. L. McCaughrin.
About Schedules.
There have been so many changes in
the schedules lately that it is rather
difficult to keep up with them.
There is no change on the R. & D. of
the "cannon ball" or early morning
train from Columbia, and none on the
midday train from Columbia. The
train from Greenville to Columbia in
the afternoon now arrives an hour
earlier. The change was made Mon
day. It passes Newberry now at 2.34
p. m., and makes close connection in
Columbia with the afternoon north
bound train on the C. C. & A. road.
Parties going north now do not have
to wait in Columbia if they leave New
berry on the 2.34 train, R. & D.
On the C. N. & L. road a change of
schedule went into effect on Monday
also. The passenger train from Clinton
to Columbia passes New berry at 9a. m.
and returns at 6.48 p. m.
The present schedule suits us admi
rably, and so far as we know, every one
along the line, unless it be Laurens,
is very well pleased.

Thrown from His Bnggy.
On Sunday evening, November 8th,
Mr. P. J. Coleman was thrown from his
buggy and seriously injured. Mr. Cole
man's home is in Edgefield County,
but for some time he has been clerking
for J. N. Martin in New berry.
He was on a visit to his mother and
friends in Edgefield. It was just after
dark and be had just left the home of
a young lady friend, having gone about
a half a mile, and was riding in his
saiky.
Two men came out from the roadside
and fired at him. His horse became
frightened and began to run, and he
was thrown from the buggy.
He received a wound just above the
left eye. He was carried to the house
he had just left where he remained
until Monday when he was taken to
his mother's.
Drs. Kirksey and Asheley attended
him. Dr. Gilder was called on Monday
of this week.
The skull was not fractured but at
times Mr. Coleman becomes uncon
scious and it is thought that possibly
there may be a fracture of the in ner part
of the skull, but this cannot be deter
mined without an operation.
No effort has been made to capture
the parties who did the firibg and there
is no motive assigned for their act.

One Woman Kills Another.
On last Friday there was a homicide
in No. 6 Township on Mr. B. F. Grif
fin's place. Two negro women had a
quarrel and they drew an axe and a
hatchet and finally one shot the other
deLJ. Just what they quarreled about
does not appear clear from the testirio
Dy.
Mauda Pit,s killed Nora Simpson.
Two inques.ts were held. Trial Jus
tice Peteraou held an inquest arid issued
a warrant, and later Coroner Buist ar
rived and also held an iuquest. Both
inquisitions have been tiled in the
Clerk's office, but Manda Pitts has not
yet been arrested. It is said she donned
men's clothes ind departed.
The testimony of Cinda Pitts taken
before Mr. Peterson is published here
with. She was present.
Cinda Pitts one of the eye wi! nesses
testified before Mr. Peterson:
I live on 1. F. Griffin's piace in Newhern- Coun-.
ty. I was at home on the 12th day of Noveniber,
A. D. isg. lauda Pitts was running after the
mules and then came to my house. She walked
in my house. Nora Simpson was standing in the
back door of my house. Manda Pitts walked up
to Nora Simpson and asked her what she had
done to her, Nora Simpson, that she and Lucy
Simpson should get after her about. Nora Simp
sin said she had not bothered her. 'Manda Pitts
then said to Nora Simpson that she was.ai- lie.
Nora Simpson caught Manda Pitt.; by the shoul
der and told her not to curse her. Manda Pitts
then picked up a hatchet: Nora Simpson picked
up an ax:. Then Harriet Pitts, the mother of
Manda Pitts, came in and told her to get out of
doors if she could. I run out of the door with
my chil my arms. Some one then threw the
axe out of doors. I heard Nora Simpson say to
Manda Pitts that she (Manda Pitts) had a con
cealed weapon about her person, and that she was
going to report her. Harriet Pitts then said, "Give
up the weapons," and thein tried to take them
away. Harriet Pitts then shoved 'Manda Pitts
out of doors. I came in the house and told Manda
Pitts not to shoot into the house. Nfand. Pitts
then told Nora Simp. n to come out of the house.
Nora Simpson told her she would not come out:
she would stay in the house as long as she wanted
to sLav. Then I walked in a room of the house
and immediately heard a pistol shot. Nora Simp
son said. "You have shot me." Then 'an%da
Pitts shot again. I saw her shoot this time. Nora
Simpson then fell and died at once. She did not
speak. Manda Pitts then run around the house
and tried to get in again, but her mother kept her
out. Nora Simpson had a small penknife in her
hand when she was shot, btit it was not open.
This is the knife.

Mrs. Ann Milligan, of Charlotte,N.C.,
is on a visit to her friends.
Miss Eloise Welch was at home from
college on 'a visit of a few days last
week.
Dr. P. Beam, wife and daughter, of
Piedmont, spent a few days last week
with relatives in the village.
Mr. S. H. Sharp, supervisor of divis

The farmers are rejoicing in the
magnificent seasons they have both for
gathering cotton and sowing grain.
Mrs. J. D. Shockley, after a brief and
painful illness from pneumonia, died
last Monday in the 3-3d year of her age.
This grievous affliction, wbiob has fall
en so suddenly upon Mr. Shockley and
his children, has touched the sympa
thetic heart of our little Community.
On a recent Sunday, a bright little
girl of a few summers, who lives in a
suburb of the city, was taken to the
residence of a lady friend by her father
and there to be left until his return;
but before he left the house the child
hastily approached him with the earn
est request to be taken home imme
diately. "Why? Papa cannot take you
home until he comes back from church.
You must stay here." "No, sir, right
now-right now." The importunity
of his little daughter, and her expres
sion, caused him to yield or comnoro
mise with her. "Then I'll take you to
Uncle Blank's." She was satisfied.
When they had nearly reached the
door of her uncle's house the little
maiden quickly said: "Pa, stoop down
here, I want to tell you something,
easy," holding up her hand which
showed the naark of a burn across the
four little fingers, as she whispered,
"I burned them on Mrs. --'s stove.''
"Why didn' tyou tell me before?" "Be
cause," said the in nocent little thing,"I
was afraid Mrs. - would hear me;
she told me not to put my hand on the
stove."
Including visitors, the attendance at
our Sunday-school has recently been
as high as sixty. The prayer-meetings
are likew-ise generally well attended',
both in the church and at the cottages
when the weather is inclement. The
cottage prayer-meeting is helpful and
up-lifting in a religio-social way: it
brings the people together in a kindly
and fraternal way. There is catholicity
in song and unity in sympathy,
thought and purpose, when the true
spirit pervades the assemblage. These
meetings might be held with pleasure
and profit everywhere.

Cotton Seed Meal for Feed and Fertilizer.

Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and

Your letter of Oct. 1st to hand and
contents noted, and in reply to the
questions you ask, I would say that I
am very much pleased with results
from the use of your Fertilizer on both
cotton and corn. Also much pleased
with your cotton seed meal and hulls
as a food for cattle and milk cows.
Yours respectfully,

Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and
Fertilizer Co., Newberry.S. C.:
Your letter of Oct. 1st to hand and
contents noted, and in regard to your
"Gold Dust" Guano, I will say that I
c'a*sider it equal to any ever used by
myself. Will further state that I have
been using cotton seed meal as a Fer
tilizer, since its first introduction here,
with good results. I believe cotton
seed meal, acid and kainit combiaed
the equal of any Guano made for cot
ton. Have used cotton seed meal for
cow food with good returns. Have
never used hulls as feed, but feel satis
ged that they are good.
Very respectfully,
JNo. C. GOGGANS.
Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and
Fertilizer Co., Newberry, S. C.:
Your letter of Oct. 1st to hand and
contents noted. We only used your
cotton seed hulls as bedding for mules
and horses, and were better pleased
with them for that purpose than any
thing we ever tried, and we believe that
the hulls made thestable manure twice
as valuable as it would have been had
we used pine straw.
Yours respectfully,

Your letter of Oct. Ist to hand and

to use your cotton seed m al for feed

October 20th, 1891.
Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and
Fertilizer Co., Newberry, S. C.:
Your letter of Oct. 1st to hand and
contents noted, and I take pleasure in
stating that I used a good deal of the
cotton seed hulls and meal for feeding
my stock and find nothing to equal it.
It is the finest feed for cattle I have
ever~ used. Yours Respectfully,
A. L. KNIGH TOx.
Newberry, S. C., October 15th, 1891.
Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and
Fertilizer Co., Newberry, S. C.:
Your letter of Oct. 1st to hand and
contents noted. In reply, would say
that my experience with your "Gold
Dust" cotton seed meal and hulls for
feeding purposes, especially for milk
eows, is, that it is a first class food for
improv'ing the condition, also the milk
giving proclivities of your cow. In
fact, in less than four wesks after com
mencing to feed it, my cow increased
one gallon per day: of course, I used
this food (cotton seed meal and hulls)
in connection with food I was using
when first testing the meal and hulls.
I find by using the meal and hulls that
the expense of keeping a cow is consid
erably reduced, and the milk-giving
quality largely improved.
Respectfully,
Tiros. F. TARRANT.
