MEMORIAL PAY. The Tenth of May Beautifully and Appro priately Celebrated In Nowberry. The Departed Heroes Touch ingly Remembered. The Confederate dead are not forgot tea by their comrades and their descen. dents. It is a beautiful custom which brings us together on Memorial Day to pay tribute and do honor to the heroic dead. rwill beasad day forany peo ple yhen the sentiments which prompt such action shall become dormant and inactive. One by one tbe Con fecerate soldier is passing over the river, and tre long by the natural process of na ture they will all pass over to join Lee ind Jackson and the hosts who have ;one before. The celebration of these xnemorial days will be left to their de acendents then. It is . beautiful and touching custom, and one we trust wil never be abandoned. it teaches ]es sons of patriotism and devotion to onues country. Without the instilling of such sentiments no t.ation can long stand. Last Thursday was Memorial Day, May 10. The occasion was very ap propriately celebrated in New berry. There seemed to be more interest in the event than has been exhibited on similar icea-ions in a loLg while. Flowers were scarce, but tn this occa. sion the ladies managed to get together quite a quantity, and the Confederate monument and the graves at the old graveyard and at Rosemont were all overed with beautiful flowers by the fair and patriotic daughters of New berry. The Graded School turned out in rorce and 9d did the College and the James D. Nance Camp, U. C. V. The Camp held a meeting, but as the secre .ary has furnished the minutes we will 3ot refer to this. The Graded School girls were arrayed n blue, red and white, and as they narched down Main street made a very pretty appearance. In fact it was a ovely scene. First came Prof. Jones with about seventy of the small boys Lnd girls. Prof. Evans was in charge f about seventy-five girls and young adies from the Graded School. They narched first to Episcopal churcb where they were joined by about fifty roung men from the College under ommand of P. D. Shearouse. They hen marched down to the public square where they were joined by the old vet rans from the James D. Nance Camp, bout forty in number. It was grand o see those girls. six abreast, turn a orner. They did it so nicely, and as orrectly as well trained and long Irilled soldiers. Miss Mary Nance Fair vas color bearer, carrying the flag of he James D. Nance Camp. Aumerle chumpert carried the flag of the Third legiment. It is shattered and torn .nd has many bullet holes, but never vent down in dishonor. The staff was hot through at Knoxville, while- in he hands of Co!. Nance, four men iaving been killed during the battle vhile carrying the colors to the front. t brings up many sad memories, but R fondly and patriotically cherished by he survivors of the old Third Regi rjent. Prof. Evans wore on this occa ion the sah which belonged to and vas worn by Col. James D. Nance. Lfter the line had been formed on the ublic square and Mr. Salter bad taken , snap shot at it with his Kodak the olumn moved around to the monu aent which had been beautikully raped for the occasion. The young idies in blue, white and red formed a ~onfederate flag. Capt. Schumpert ben called the assembly together and 1ev. E. P. McClintock offered the fo] wimg prayer: PRAYER BY REV. E. P. M'CLINTOCK. "O( Lord, our God: We desire to ecognize thee in all this service. The eace and the quiet and all that. is leasant on this occasion comes from by zealous hand. We thank thee for all that was excel mnt in the charactor of those whose eath we have met to commemorate. Ve thank thee for their patriotism and nurage, and heroism and self-denial nd self-sacrifice. We thank thee for be privilege of bringing these flowers s tokens of our t.remembrance We pray for th3 ssing on their ir- -ed whose hearts still mourn their ree.:.able loss. Fulfill in their expe ence thy own promise to be a hus and to the widow and a father to the therless. Let thy blessings rEst on 2ose of us who were their comrades. God, we would this day and in thbese *rcumstances acknowledge our indebt iness to thee for covering our head in ie day of battle, and shielding us from lI the dangers incident to a soldier's fe. Rightly affect our hearts, we do ray thee, in the remembrance of this my great goodness to those of us who Irvive those great and numerous erils. We pray for thy blessing on the chil ren and youth in this presence. As iey look on these emblems of war and iese memorials of our brave soldiers Ispire them with motives worthy of inch ancestors, and incite each of them noble lives. Be with our comrade ho is now to speak to us. Give him ioughts and words which will incite I of us to a purer patriotism and to a hler discharge of all the duties of hristian citizenship.

RafleBtson & MiIais Doug .tor Highest of all in Leavening P< ABSOILJ charged with emotions too painful for u tterance. We would be untrue to ourselves. to our traditions, to our honored dead, were we otherwise than sad to-day. It is not that we are disloyal citizens of our countr.. It is not that we are unhappy because we live under the protection of one flag and are citizens of a common country. We rejoice in our sorrow that peace and not war pre vails. That flag, torn and faded, be tokens cherished memories of the past, but no disloyalty to the flag under whose agis we now enjoy our freedom. But nothing is lost to patriotism by our thinking and saying that the past, of thirty years ago brings in its train many painful though holy memories. Cherisbing the memory of convictions that were ourt;, sincerely, bonestly, holily ours a generation ago, does not make us untrue to convictions that may be ours now. Holding in sacred memory the devotion and heroism of men who laid down their lives a willing sacrifice upon the altar of liberty, does not, shall not, make us unfaithful to the trusts committed to us to-day. As the fond mother, faithful all the year round to husband and children that re main, is permitted unmolested, unques tioned, to go alone on the anniversary of a loved child's death and shed her silent tears over the toys and half-worn clothing, the relics that are treasured away, so may we, those who were spared from the conflict of years past, be allowed to give one day in the year, without interruption. without criti cism, to the honoring of those who gave up their lives in that conflict. Who compose this gathering to-day? There are those here who knew and loved and honored the men whose names are inscribed on that monument, men who shared with them in the hardships of tent and field, men whose own lives have been made better and nobler by their association with those men and by the memory of their valor; women who gave their husbands, their lovers, it may be their sons, for a cause in which they were ready to peril, to surrender, home and comfort and life, yea everything but honor; young men and woien who, though they have no personal recollections of that memora ble struggle, yet have been taught to revere the devotion and courage and fortitude of the fathers and motherm of the generation past, and in whose veins flows th blood of heroes. Why are you here? To honor the memory of the' heroic dead; old and young, to lay their garlands on the resting places of the brave men, known and unknown, who gave their all for a cause that they loved unto death. But there is another reason for this gathering. We are not living wholly or mainly in a regretrul past. While not entire~ly forgetting the past, fondly cherishing much of it, our faces and our steps are toward the future. The lives of the brave and good should serve to remind us of what we and our children may become. The recollec tion of the ive hundred heroes whose names are on that monument should inspire us to loftier purpose and holier resolve. Perhaps it is here that "Memo rial Day" leaves its best impress. What men bere, survivors of that struggle, are not made better by the annual return of Memorial Day, when they are reminded of the virtues and heroic deeds of the men who fought and died a generation ago? Who are not helped to nobler audeavor, to braver living, by the recollection of what good and true men did and suffered for their convictions of whbat was right? Who can recall the "Matchless Lee," the knightly Jackson, the chivalrous 8tuart, the gallant Ashby, and Gregg and Bee, and a host of otners whose names are household words, without being stimulated to higher courage and more heroic daring in the cause of right and truth? Sad is it for any people when they cease to revere the names of those who died that others might live and enjoy the fruits of their sufferings. God forbid that the day should ever come, when the people of Newberry shall forget or cease to honor the names of such men as Rutherford, Maffe-tt, Simkins and the others whose names are written there, and James D. Nance, who has been styled the "Chevalier Bayard" of New berry County, the man "without fear and without ieproach"; or that the peple of South Carolina shall forget tat other hero of the "Lost Cause," the gallant soldier, the loyal citizen, the modest gentleman, the humble Christian, Joseph B. Kershaw, who has just won his last victory, and has joined the triumphant host on the other shore. The committees then took charge of tbe decorations, and the placing of flowers upon the monument and the graves of the Confederate dead in both of our 'cemeteries was a labor of love and a patrietic pleasure. Long may Memorial Day be cherished and ob served. The music for the occasion was fur nished ny the Newberry band under charge of Mr. C. L. Trabert, and was very good.

McDowell was suddenl startled out of her sleep, between 11 an 12 o'clock, last Friday night, by sharp, crasbing sound, as though lamp or pistol had exfloded in he room. She perceived that the lam burned brightly and everything quiet The children were asleep and her roon undisturbed in any way. She was s( much agitated, however, that she coul< not call for help. She lay awake fo some time, almost afraid to move, con jecturing the while as to the probabl( cause of the mysterious noise. Slee; came to her relief until morning, whet a search was made, and, to her horror she found that a pistol ball had passed through a pane of glass and over he: bed, just a liEtle above where she was sleeping all unconscious of danger. The bullet struck the edge of the mantle splintered the wood and then fell t< the floor. The ball was from a 32 calibrn pistol. When she found how narrowly she and her babes had escaped the peril o: the night, she was naturally very muc alarmed, and it was impossible foi friends and neighbors to dissuade hei from the belief that it was the brutal work of design. They tried to persuade her that it could hardly be possible there was a fiend in our midst that would attempt her life, and that it must have been the result of miserable, criminally-careless shooting, of which we hear so much and read so much everywhere these days. Mrs. McDowell telegraphed her husland who was on the C. C. and A. road, and he came over Saturday night fast as his train could fetch him. It transpired the next day that the shooting was done by some negro boys who were said to have been firine at an iron post on Gauntt street, about two hundred yards away. It is time that wearing loaded pistols and shooting them off recklessly should cease. No one's life is safe, for there is no accounting for a bullet after it leaves the mouth of a pistol. It is a criminal offense, And shooting at a mark at midnight on the public highway is reckless in the extreme. Mrs. Louisa Zobel is visiting her children in Charleston. Mr. John W.

Knox was a white man liv ing on D. M. Ward's place. Peaster is a negro who was working for Mr. Ward at his still two miles flom town. Peaster had been at work on a tenant house in the vicinity and left his work and went three hundred yards out of his way in order to pass along where Knox was ploughing and to picx a quarrel with him. They both fired at each other simultaneously at long range, and too far for Knox's shotgun to have any etiect. Each then fired two uore shots, when the negro closed on Knox with his pistol, knowing that L Knox had no other weapon, and with r a vile oath told him, "I have you now," and fired, the ball striking Knox just below the tenth rib. Knox then threw hit -.hotgun at the brute, who took the gun and broke the lock and stock over Knox's head. He then jumped upon Knox with his feet, and while in this act Mr. Ward, who had heard the shots, came upon the scene and the negro fled. He has not beea caught. Knox was attended by Dr. Houseal, but died Saturday morning. The in quest was held in the afterLoon and developed the facts as above stated. Knox came to Newberry from Green ville about a year ago and married a daughter of Mr. G. W. Merchant. John Y. MacRae, Druggist, Raleigh, N.
