Counts, superintendent of the Lutheran Sunday School at Prosperity, began making ar rangements for a picnic by his school to be held at 'Hyatt's Park, in Colum bia. Invitations were extended the Methodist, Baptist and Associate Re formed Sunday Schools to join in the movement, andl they did. On Tuesday morning a special train wvas chartered over the C., N. andl L. roadl to carry the p)arty, which consisted of' about five hundred persons. All the places of business had been closed and nearly ev erybody in towvn wvent to the picnic, and a most enjoyable day was spent in the capital city. The picnicers were met at the depot in Columbia with special cars and car ried immediately to Hyatt's Park. Af ter the picnic they were carried for a r'ide on the cars around the city. When the people of Prosperity tak(e a notion that they are going to enjoy themselves they can be counted on to do so, andi it was the generally exp)ress edl opinion of each member of the party that it would be a hard matter to spendl a more p)leasanl. day than he spent on Tuesday.

(I THE STRVENHON-OUNTER MATTER. Newberry Bar Assoolation 1oI01f a Meeting and Gives Reasons Why Hptall Term of Conrt Wais not Hel0 in April, It will be remembered that during the early part of this year the Newber ry Bar Association asked for a special term of the Court of Common Pleas in order to clear a crowded docket. The petition was granted and Hon. W. F.1 Stevenson, then speaker of the Hous'e of Reprentatives, was appointed judge. Some time after -this the Bar asked that the order granting the special term be annulled, which was done. Mr. Stevenson is now in the race for attorney-general, and on the stump Mr. U. X. Gunter, his opponent, has made the assertion that the Newberry Bar asked that the special term not be held because Mr. Stevenson, the judge ap pointed, was a corporation lawyer, be ing attorney for the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The Newberry Bar held a meeting yesterday morning, at which time a statement was gotten up giving the reasons which prompted them in asking for the special term, and then for its withdrawal. This report will be sent Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Gunter. The report states that even before the order was issued granting the special term a movement was on foot to have this extra term called off for the reason that it was found that it would not suit many members of the Bar. As soon as the order was made known a meeting was held on March 25th for the purpose of considering the advisability of asking that the order be annulled. In this meeting the reasons advanced were, irst, inconvenience to the Bar, and then that agricultural con ditions had so changed as serionsly to afrect the convenience of jurors. The objection against Mr. Stevenson on account of his connection with the rail road was suggested by only three mem bers of the Bar, representing two firms. Even these expressed the utmost confi dence in his personal ability and integ rity. They stated that there were some cases against the Seaboard Air Line and other railways which they did not wish Mr. Stevenson to try. But in the whole discussion there was a disclaimer of any intention to reflect upon the character of Mr. Stevenson as a man or his ability as a lawyer. ilt. Fl.OYI) BUYS EXHANUE . Now wnM iT'lepholto , Litnen in Fifteen 'owng- wn1 I malpr.,vo ant 'erfelt His Syt.en. The State of Wednesday contained the following: "It was reported here yesterday that the Citizens Telephone company of Spartanburg and the Home Telephone company of Greenville were sold at auction on the 23rd and 24th instant at court houses of Greenville and Spartan burg, respectively, by Mr. A. G. Fur man, trustee, to satisfy a mortgage for $30,000 given on tot h plants by L. W. Floyd, of Newberry, and G. A. Brown ing. of Greenville. Both of the plants wvere p)urchased by Mr. Floyd; the Spartanburg p)lant for $23,000 and the Greenville for $10,200, subject to two mortgages aggregating $5,224. Both of these p)lants wvere built to compete wvith the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, and wvere quite pr~osperous for a time. There wvere but two bidders on the plants, Mr. J. H. Hayneswvorth, of Greenville. and Mr. Floyd. Rep>resentatives of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company at tended the sale, but took no part in the bidding. Mr. Floyd will probably continue to operate thme plants although he has as yet given out no statement for publication.' Mr. Floyd wvhen seen yesterday said that the ahove is practically correct. With these two systems he now owns exchanges in fifteen dlifferent towns and cities of' this State, as follows: Prosperity, Newvberry, Clinton, Union, Paeol et, Spa rtanburg, Greenville, For est l.mn, Greer's, Piedmont, Pelzer, WilIliamston, Pickens, Easley, and Traveler's Rest. Mr. Floyd has already begun wvork on the further improvement of his sys tem, lie says that lhe intends within the next few months to connect all has various exchanges together and with Columbia. He will also p)ut in a metal lic current and double wire.. This news wvill be received wvith, lelasure by the p)eop)le of Newberry. We have long felt the need of good telephone connections with other towvns, and especially with Columbia. Mr. Floyd is to be congratulated upon h)is enterprise and ability in this matter. Dea,,th saf Mr it. H. Met'irty. Mr. FE. B. McCarty (lied at his honne in this city at 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning, lie had been sick with biliou~s fever for several wveeks, and this, t.o gether wvith heart trouble, caused his death. It had been thought that he was entirely out of (langer', but lie suf fered several relapses, each time grow ing worse, until the endl came. Mr. McCarty was horn near' Denny's Cross Roads, in Saluda county, in 18637, and was in his 316th yeai'. He moved'~ to Newvberry some twvelve years ago, and was a clerk in' Mi'. Proctor Todd's grocery store until 1894, when he went into business with Mr. J. T. Hlays, un der the f'irm name of Hays & McCarty. In 1898 the partnership was (dissolved, andl Mr'. McCarty continued in the same business. Since that time he had built up andi conducted one of the leading grocery business in this city. A bout t wo years ago he was married to Mrs. Hattie Duke, of Opelika, Ala., who survives him. I The remains were interred at Rose mont Wednesday morning. Services 'were condluctedl by Revs. W. I.
