The reader of this paper will b
pleased to learn thbat there is at leas
one dreaded disease that science ha
been able to cure in all its stages, an
that is Catarrb. Hall's Catarrh Cure
the only positive cure known to th
mnedical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a coti
stitotional treatment. Hall's Catarrl
Cure is taken internally, acting direc1
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces<
the system, thereby destroying, th
foundation of the disease, and givin
the patient strength by building up t
constitution and assisting nature i
doing its work. The proprietors hav
so much faith in its curative power
that they offer One Hundred Dolla:
for any ease that it fails to cure. Sen

-Mr. Forrest Lake has just been re,
elected unanimously as Mayor of Sar
ford, Fla.
The San ford Chronicle says: "Mayor
Forrest Lake had no opposition, and
he was the recipient of the entire vote
e ast at the polls; though it is a curious
fact that had but one single vote been
cast for him still be would have been
elected. Mlayor Lake's vigorous admin
istration of municipal affaiirs, his action
and effectual warfare against crime
and disorder, as well as his popular
manner, insured his succession to a
second term, and as these facts were
generally conceded, no opposition was
made to him. Thus is his policy en
dorsed."

A NEW 3iEtHODIST CHURCH.
A -New Start to be Taken-The Members
Getting Interested-There is Certainly
Need to go to Work.
That Newberry needs some new
church buildings scarcely needs to be
stated.. It is certainly a self-evident
proposition and needs no argument to
establish it. That the church mem
bers are amply able to build them we
do not beleive any one will seriously
question. V bet her they are willing to
make the sacrifice necessary to do the
work is another question. We would
be very glad indeed to see some new
church buildings begun and com
pleted. The Methodists and Lutherans
both have very beautiful building lots
and all that is needed is the building.
Both these congregatiors have been
talking about building, but so far it
has only been talk.
Last Sunday the Methodist congre
gation held a meeting and had a report
from the building committee, which we
give below. As will be seen, work, or
effort, has been suspended, but from
what we can gather the sentiment of
the membership pow is to resume effort
and begin work during the present
year. All :hat is needed is to make a
heginning and the work will be done.
We hope tbe start will be made and
nossibly it will be a stimulus or en
couragement for the Lutherans to do
likewise. There is no town that we
know of, of the size and importance of
Newberry, that has such poor church
buildings. It is pot because of a lack
of interest in church matters, but sim
ply because there has not been a start
made in this direction. We hope the
mattir will not be delayed much
longer,
BEPORT OF BUILDING COMMUTEF,
NEWBEREY, S. C., Feb. 15, 1894-At
a meeting of the building committee,
charged with the trust of erecting a
new church building for the use of the
congregation of the Methodist Episco
pal (Jhurch, South, in Newberry, S. C.,
hld ip the oMee of 1rbther James Y.
Cuibreath, Feb. 15, i8a, the fpllowjng
paper was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There is great need for a
new church building for the use of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in
this city:
WIEEEAS, The said church, feeling
this ness, regolyed to erect the. said
building at an ea;ly day, apd appoited
the undersigned building com 'ttee to
carry out their resolution:
WHER.4g, The delay, or arrest of
effort in the behalf of the enterprise
has caused disappointment and dis
couragement among our people and has
jeopardized the prospect of the enter
prise itself therefore be it
a;olred, That we, the undersigned
buildip' coripittee, assure the con
gregation that this intfeest committed
to us has not been abandoned by us;
and that we commend it to the lib
eral and persistent co operation of every
member and friend of the church; and
that we assure all- concerned that we
have sufficient means in hand to com
mence to build.

Death of Mr. Luther P. W. Riser.
Mr. Luther Riser died at his home in
Newberry on Monday night, 19th, at
10 o'clock, in the 60th year of his age,
after a long and painful illness. He was
the oldest son of Wm. Riser and a
brother of Sheriff W. W. Riser of this
county. He had been a sufferer from
rheumatism since he was thirteen years
old. He was married to Miss Moore,
and as a result of the union there are
ten children, all living. His is the first
death in his immediate family.
For many years he lived in the Mol
lohon section of this county but several
years ago moved to $ewberry where
be could have educational advantages
for his children. Though a sufferer all
his life he was a man of great energy
and of a pleasant and happy disposi
tion.

There was a peculiar case before Jus
tice Fellers hst week. It was a case
where one negro indicted another for
perjury. What an idea! The Justice
very properly, we think, turned the ac
cased tree.
Last Saturday night our household
was treated to a musical serenade by a
part of the Prosperity Orchestra. The
strains of music were sweet and enjoy
able. oDome again, young gentlenen.
The orchestra has made remarkable
proficiency under the skillful traiiaing
of Rev. Keister, an instrumental mu
sieian of no ordinary attainments.
Prosperity is proud of her orchestra,
and will respond to their needs when
called upon. Newberry College would
do well to secure their services for
Commencement next June.
It is always a source~of pride to see
14Twberrians appointed to, or in any
manner occupying, high positions of
honor and trust, but the appointment
of our friend and fellow-citizen, Mr.
J. Malcolm Johnstone, by President
Cleveland, to the Consulship at Per
nambuco, gives us exceeding pleasure.
It is an appointment on account of
real worth and merit, and a high
honor conferred, not only on Mr.John
stone himself, but upon Newberry
County and the State of South raro
lina. Guess Mr. Latimer didn't have
much to do with this appointment.

L. Whites, a young man of experience
in the printing business has tajen
charge pf_ the paper and perquisites.
Mr. Capers will remain in the employ
of Mr. Whites for a while at least. The
paper belongs to a joint Stock Com
pany, who have never realized a copper
upon their Investment, hence there is
no sell out, "push out" or "kick out",
but only a simple business transaction,
in a simple businese way, between Mr.
Capers. the stbckholders and Mr. R. L.
Whites. A simple change of the busi
ness management. I understand that
the paper is to be an organ for nobody,
and no class, but will be conducted
strictly or the broad Alliance principle
of "Equal rights to all, but special
privileges to no one." It is to be a
newspaper in the stricteat sense, for all
the people of whatsoever class or con
dition, steering clear of all factional
politics--standing squarely and fairly
on the National Democratic platform.
We wish the young man much sijc
