was called to a better country. He was
born, near the place where he died, Feb.
28,1818. Paralysis caused his death. His
long life was spent in his native county
(Newberg'y); and a hest of friends and
acquaintanoes can bear testimony to his
strict honesty, high moral character,
and love for the truth. For a long pe

Ast.oclation an oilcial invitation to
hold the annual meeting and tourna
mont In this city on May 15th and 16th,
and It is safe to say that Newberry is
sure to secure this event.
The city council has acted wisely and
thoughtfully, and by resolution hec.r
tily endorsed the invitation sent Presi
dent Haynes of the association, and
will lend its every possible assistance
in making the occasion an ideal May
festival.
The following is a copy of the invita

J. R. laness, ES(., President Fouth
Carolina Volunteer Firemen's Asso

!)AR Sit: The BoRId of 1liremaste's

by extend to the South Carolina Volun
teer Firemen's Association a hearty
invitation to hold their annual tourna
ment at the city of Newberry, S. C.,
on the 15th and 10th of May, 1901.
Extending to you this invitation %%e
wssure you that we shall do all within

DEAR SIR: The following resolution
was unanimously adopted by the city
council at their last regular meeting:
Resolved, That we hereby heartily
endorse the invitation extended by the
Board of FiremaEters to the South
Carolina Volunteer Firemen's Associa
tion to hold their annual tournament in
this city on May 15th and 16t,b, 1901.
Resolved, That we hereby urge the
S. C. V. F. A. to accept this invitation,
and that we hereby assure them a
hearty reception.
OTTO KLETTNER, Mayor.
W. S. LANGFORD, Clerk and TreaF.
There is no doubt but that the Invi
tation wilt be accepted, and there
should be no delay in getting to work
to make it a success. Newberry has
never failed to come up to what was ex
pected of her, for she already has an
enviable reputation for unbounded hos
pitality, and when word goes forth
that the Firemen's annual meeting is
to be held here, it means that it will
be the most representative meeting and
most fully attended of any in the his
tory of the association. There will b2
competing teams here from Greenville,
Spartanburg, Anderson, Laurens, Abbe
ville, Greenwood, Chester, Columbia,
Camden, Winnsboro, Rock Hill, Or
angeburg, Sumter, Florence, Cheraw,
Georgetown, Charleston and other
towns ane cities in the State.
It, is the intention of the committees,
we understand, to have in addition to
the hand reel contests, hose wagon con
tests also. This wvill be something new
for Newberry, and wvill be the most in
teresting and exciting of all, as some of
the cities and towns in the State have
some of the fastest and prettiest teams
in the South, and there is great rivalry
between them, namely, the Columbia
and Sumter teams, especially.
There is but one thing to do now,
and that is for every cit,iz~en to make up
his mind to put forward his best efforts
to make this a gala occasion In 1001 for
Newberry, and her praises will be for
ever sung by the firemen and their
friends throughout the State for years
to come.
Augusta has her Merry Makers'
week, Charleston her Gala week, Co
lumbia the State Fair, Spartanburg her
Spring Festival, Greenwood Is thme eon
vontion city, now lot Newberry come
to the front and combine all in one and
have the greatest time of all.
It i' going to take some money to
pull this tournament off successfully,
but if every one will do his part it will
bo burdensome on none and mutually
beneficial to all.
It is not only to be a big time for the
firemen, but fo. everybody. Trhere will,
or should not be a business house in the
city that will not be lavishly decorated
in gala attire to welcome the visitors
heore.
Committees from the Board of F"ire
masters, the City Council and the 10x
celsior Fire Company, will call on the
citizens in a few days-and give to
them liberally, for in this undertaking
all previous records must be broken,
A Little Boy Seriously Hurned.
Wednesday morning, February 6,
Mr. J. B3. Cromer, Cromers, 8. C.,"was
burning off some land when his lit.tle
son, Elmer, three years of age, who
had followed him to the field caught
fire and was seriously burned.
Mr. Cromer was at the other' end of
tihe field, and by the time lhe reached
the little fellow the flames were too
large to srlhother, so whIle tearing the
burning garments from little IElmer the
skin canmn off in spots on his little back.
The flames singed all the hair off of
his poor little head.
D~r. Carlile was immediately sermon
ed, ho says, "lit,tle Elmer may recover,
but the burn is a serious one."
It is necessary to add that Mr. Cro
mer burned his hands very badly while
trying to releasei the little sufferer.
Thme many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Cromer atid also those of little
Elmer wish him a speedy recovery.

Mr. Z. E. Amick, of near Prosperity
visited in this section' this week.
I have been considering ti
classified list, of acts passed at, the re
cent session of the Legislature an
made careful considerations of the ap
propriations for current year and ilnC
many appropriations made which w(
could very easily do without. Fo
example, you can take higher educa
tion and you find the appropriation
for this year as follows: For some fev
as the public institutlors, South Caro
lina College $42,557, and for the Soutli
Carolina Military Academy $28,250
and for Winthrop Normal and Indus
trial College $69,672, and for the Col
ored Normal College $8,000, and al
these institutions are said to be for the
benefit of the poor man's children, amd
after all these appropriations for then
a poor man can send his son or daugh
ter to any other institution just, at
cheap as he can send them to ona o
t,ho institutions which are receiving
big appropriation each year from th
State treasury, and we don't see wh
so many of the members of the Logis
lature and Senate raised such a how
about John L. McLaurin working tc
have postmaster Baker of Lake City
South Carolina, family given $2,000, an<
for the lynching of Baker' when he wa!
only trying to carry out the law of thi
State and at the same time they wer
making an appropriation for a negr4
college of $8,000 for the support of th
institut,ion. WVe believe it no mor
than right to give the WVest Indian E'x
p)osition of Charleston an appropria,
tint of $50,u00 she pays a iar'ge amnoun
of taxes, and if the State would hav<
given nothing t,bey could not have ex
peeted any other State in the union ti
help them out any. But as to the high
er' education they had botter' have
made appropriations to build w<
poor farmers good roads, as it would
have been much more benellcial to thn
poor man, and it looks like almos
every appropriation was made in be
half of the towns and cities and ric)
men. We were promised last summne

['rh State, March 7th.]
n The board of directors of the State
dispensary have not yet taken any ac
tion on the matter of granting permits
9 to the distillery companies who wish to
engage in business in Columbia. It
was expected that the board would an
r nounce its decision yesterday, but the
decision, if it has been reached, was
no' given out and no information was
f to be had as to when it would be forth
I coming.
3 Application for permits was mado
t yesterday by two new concerns. Lana
B han & Son, of Ballimore, and the Pal
r metto Distilling company, a Savannah,
- Ga., concern, want to establish distil
leries here, and filed their applications
- with the board yesterday. There were
rumors that there would be several
other applications, but these two were
the only ones to materialize.
The amenement to the dispensary
law allowing the establishment of dis
tilleries in the State in cities of over
20,000 population seems to have caused
3 quito a stir among the distillers through
3 out the country, and there apyears to be
3 a scramble to get in on the ground
3 floor. The establishment of the distil
l eries rests entirely with the board of
directors of the Stato dispensary, as no
distillery can be established without
a permit fromn the )-oard. If the board
grants the permits that have already
been asked for, Columbia will in a few
months have four big distilleries with
a capital of *50,(X0 to $75,000 each. But,
as forecasted in The State of yester
day, the board seemis to be willing to
grant a permit to only one distillery
and the interest now centres in the
question of which concern will get the
prize. There are now four applicants,
the Richland Distilling company, of
which Mr. J. S. Farnum, of Charles
ton, is the head; the Carolina Distil
ling company, backed by the Kohn Dis
tilling company, of Birmingham, Ala.,
and Mr. W. Boyd Evans, of Colnmbia;
Lanaian & Sons, and the Savannah
concern, and there may be others yet
to hear from. The question is one of
the most interesting that has come up
in dispensary circles in iany months
and the outcome is being awaited with
interest.
The town of Midway, in Banborg,
has made application for the establish

through the throng. The band was
ready to break into the opening strains
of the march from T1annhauser, but
word came that Mrs. McKinley was in
disposed and that the president would
remain by her side. Th'le march conse
quently was abandoned. The band,
however, struck up Staruiss' "Blue
Danube'' and the first regret of the
assemblage gave way before the whir
of gayety. Vice President and Mrs,
Roosevelt held an informal levee
among the groups of governors and
others.
Mrs. McKinley's indisposition was
of brief duration, and she soon was
able to join the president and the
brilliant assemblage in the box over
looking the gay throng below.
As the orchestra and band alter

in promenade and dance, making a
vast kaleidoscopic picture.
