Young, a colored man well known in Newberry, was put in jai,on Thursday last on the charge of stealint, money from the Coun.ty Treasurer's office. Treasurer Boyd bad suspected him of the stealing for some time, as he has missed various sums of money and Young has been the janitor of the office for about Bfxteen years, having served the various county treasurers in that capacity. On Wednesday afternoon Treasurer Boyd marked two $2 bills, and put one in the drawer in the desk and one in one of the drawers in the safe. - When Mr. Boyd came down to the office on Thursday morning, both dralers had been opened and the money was gane. He at once had Young searched and the marked money was found on his person. Young's house was also searched, but the only things found there were lots of good clothes and plenty of tobacco. Young bad a nail by which he open ed the cash drawer of the desk. He was such an adept at the business that he could amost unlock it while one's back was turned. He had learned the day combination of the safe, in which were two seis of drawers-one each used by the Treasurer and the Auditor -arranged beneath a tier of pigeon holes. Young opened the Treasurer's drawers by using a screw driver as a lever between the lock and the pigeon holes, and it was no trouble to open them in tbis way. Treasurer Boyd missed $17 from one of these drawers at one time and $30 at another. The veneering on the edge of these drawers is pinched off, and splintered by the instrument Young.used to open them with, while the sets of drawers on the opposite sideof the safe in which the Auditor keeps his papers bear no evidence 6f mutilation at all. Young knew no money was kept there, and he didn't care anything about bank and railroad assessment papers. Treasurer Boyd has missed about $100, besides stamps, and there is no telling how much money Young has taken out of the office since he has been the janitor. The Grand Jury on Tuesday found a true bill in his case, and it is probable that he will be tried to-day in the Sessions Court. See our Bargain Counter at tf DAVENPoRT & RENWICK'S. More Inquests.

I find quite a number of Ne wberrians here, and room for more. Mr. 0. Crouch, the party I am with, is quite a fine workman. He is finish ing the busts of two parties in the city, and they are life-like. A tlanta can boast of a "Zoo," where one can go and spend an hour or two looking at the animals.

C. F. BOYD, Secretary. The Sons of R. The Ntwberry branch of this flour ishing organization, auxiliary to the national sand packers' association, not withstanding the inclemency of the weather and the failure of so many banks, had a rousing meeting at their regular swarm at 5.00 on the 32nd in stant, many members being conspicu ous by their presence; although, owing to the establishment of the dispensary, the house was not as full as it has been. The raising of the cold wave signal in terfered also. The setting up of the dispens'ry has additionally had a mod erating effect on the speeches of the ring-leaders-they don't use so many adjectives now, and stick closer to their sabjects. Under the new dispen sation, business is conducted with more neatness and dispatch, and the membershFp is not-as eager to adjourn or go out between times as under the old bar era. They are very odd fellows and many of them now support a~five cent watermelon. The next convening ofthe swarm will be subject to call d4uring this Ann. Dom.-unless re stricted by injunction of somejudge. The first thing done at !the last swarm was to thank The Herald and News for laying the order liable to ob ligation for a column of its limited and unadulterated space, knowing that the editor and proprietors will never be paid, let alone repaid, for their indul gence, as the sons of rest do not pay as they pass by collectively; that being foreign to their domestic ideas of how an organization should be run. They say it is well enough for ancient orders to pay as they go, but are themselves modern in this particular; and, having a robust constitution, can ward off all attacks on their depleted treasury. The Herald and News preamble having passed, the.committee on sub terranean passages reported future progress and was.granted further time; the committee on inspection of coun ters was discharged on account of near sightedness, and the committee on anxieties and perplexities instructed to take its place; committee on mil dewed clothes and sad cake, and com mittee on blind tigers of Blue Ruin, were given an indefinite lease. On the introduction of unfinished busi ness, the following committtees were reprimanded and continued: The com mittee on public superintendency of new buildings in process of erection, committee on the state of the moon, committee on remorse and regrets, and the etcetera committees. Business was suspended here for a few minutes to -see if anything could be heard to drop on the outside in regard to the Newberry dispensary, as rumors had been detected flying in the air. The next order of business was un der the head of charges preferred. There were charges against many of the brethren; one brother being charged with having kissed a girl with the mumps when he had never had it himself; another with offering to pay for a chicken when it was known that the preceding night was propi tious for free transportation of live produce; another with having a moth er who. washed her own dishes. The case which arou'ed the indignation of the members was that of the brother charged with kissing the girl with the mumpy jaws. This measley mouthed son of rest was hotly scorched and a resolution was unanimously passed that any member hereafter found guilty of the same offense should for feit his membership. It was the sense of the meeting that a man should have respect for the mumps, and not fry to divide time with it when it is clinging so lovingly to the object of its devo tion. Mumps is no respector of per sons, else it would not lay its wrinkled hand upon the rosy cheeks of a pretty blue, black, brown, grey, pink or green eyed girl during the outing sea son when she is ever so fond of talking out of her mouth. Don't monkey with the mumps under such circum stances. The other charges were satisfactorily explained to the meeting, with the ex ception of the charge against the brother whose mother did the wash ing of dishes. Inasmuch as this was a charge reflecting against the aristocra cy of the club, it was resolved that the brother be allowed 30 seconds to vindi cate himself. The accused arose and said: "Mr. President, congenial with my capacity I come bofore you this-" [Gries of "time!" time!"]NED . -DELICIOUS DRINKS!I We furnish at PELHAM'S, during the heated term "DAINTY DRINKS FOR DAINTY PEOPLE."

It was a picnic with hash accompaniment, and lemonade and pretty girls did abundantly abound. The Knights are a knightly set of fel lows and the many invitations ex tended to their friends were promptly responded to and the same highly ap preciated. Even country editors were prioileged to enjoy a square meal !-a meal that gave out no Indications of the hard times of which we hear so much talk. The dinner was simply excellent and abundant. And the tinie,before the dinner hour arrived was very pleasantly spent in listening to an address from a brother Knight, M. A. Carlisle,-Esq., of New berry, an officer in the Grand Lodge, who had been invited to be-present and talk to the brethren on matters pertain ing especially to the branch of life in surance, and well and truly did he dis charge the trust. His address was re-, plete with information concerning the order, and encouraging to the meibers, and will doubtless result in a number of accessions to the Lodge at this place. Mr. Carlisle is a lawyer and a farmer, and a most pleasant and affable gentle man. We are thankful for the oppor tu.nity of making his acquaintance. Hope he will come again and remain with us longer.-Johnston Monitor. Notes from Excelsior. Weather hot and dry. Excelsior school re-opened on Mon day morning. Mrs. J. C.

The corn crops in this neighborhood are not as promising as they were at this time last season. ,A good season of rain would brighten the prospects for a good corn crop very much. Some few of our people witnessed the match game of base ball between the Prosperity and Mt. Pilgrim nines on Friday afternoon. The game waspayed on Mt. Pilgrim y:-rd near Mr. J. M. Werts' residence.

About two weeks ago it seemed as if "King Cotton" had surrendered to Gen. Green and the speculators and cotton buyers would have a good rest next fall. Factories would have a chance to use up their surplus cotton lying around in the way. The mer chants would not be bothered with the farmers little cotton and cotton seed coming in evtery day. The farmers hav ing no cotton to gather could sit back in ease in their roeking chairs. All this would have been very nice, but thidgs have .taken quite a turn.
