The State Hospital for the Insane is already overcrowded, and only the worst patients are at present being re ceived. It seems that at the next ses sion of the General Assembly an appro priation for the purpose of providing additional quarters will be necessary in order to provide for many. who are now seeking admission. Properly to care for its helpless citizens is one of the highest duties of a State, and one which South Carolina has ever recognized. Locals frrm- W hi! mIre. Several of our young people are off for college. They are as follows: Willie Justice, eldest son of Rev. Mr. Justice, returns to Wofford; Miss Ella C. Setz ler, daughter of Dr. F. M.

There was a.large congregation present to pay their last respects. *Bacon and lard are on the rise, also cottonseed. Cotton ought to advance in price, the crop is short,. and it will soon all be gathered. Sept. 19, 1902. - Push. N4ews from Exc. Ilior. Beautiful weather, and our people are busy at work. The cotton crop in this section will be short, but the corn crop is much better than last year. Miss Janie Kinard returned last week after spending several days with rela tives in Columbia. Mrs. Willie Blanton, of Graniteville, is on a several days' visit to her fath er's family here, Mr. A. A. Nates. We had a fine little rain on Friday for turnip sowing. Mrs. J. S.

Miss Bessie Counts, of this section, left last .week to resume her studies at Winthrop College at Rock Hill. A colored man living on Mr. J. C.

M'r. Editor, we can now hear the whistle from the new cotton mill at your town. Hurrah for Newberry. Our young friend, Mr. J. Willie Watts, who has been in Texas, for some time, spent Saturday night and Sunday with his mother's, family near here. Willie is looking well and lively as ever. We were glad to shake his hand again. Our pastor, Rev. W. A. Lutz and his good wife, visited amongst his mem bers in this section lastwek All t1le'O*'.W4 fr,( t i.e) +,naIt + ~pf i An(t More than half the cotton crop is al ready gathered, and 65 per cent. o' a crop is a fair estimate for Newberry County. The pea crop is not going to be near so good as was once expected. Mr. John W. Fulmer, of Little Moun tain section, made a business trip to this vicinity last Monday. Mrs. H. R. Epps is spending a few weeks with her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Rikard, of Long Lane. Mr. Geo. N. Galiman is clerking in Columbia. Mrs. Mattie Hentz and Miss Loise Wedeman, of New Hope section, visited Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Kinard last Sunday. Rev. J. J. Long preached at Colony last Sunday. We are proud to know that Rev. Long has accepted a call and will in a short while become our pastor. We are thankful to say that we have always been successful in getting good preachers. We believe that Rev. Long will not only make us a good preacher, but also a good pastor. Everything possesses a certain amount of knowledge, and dogs are no exception. And it is not everything that wears the biggest head that has the most sense. You all know that pug ,iogs have very short heads. One of them manifested his knowledge by showing a dislike for country life. Last week one was brought from town to the country, a distance of nine miles, to a neighbor boy, who had been wanting a pug dog for some time. After the little dog was put down in the yard, it went into the house, looked around for about an hour, and then freed itself from country life, by taking leg bail. Eddie, you can find your pug at its old home in town with Mr. Jones. We. are informed that Rev. Prof. W. K. Sligh will preach at Mr. Mid Griffin's home on the first Sunday afternoon in October. We are glad to say that Mr. L. I. Feagle's son, Edgar, who has been quite sick with typhoid fever for the .past month, is getting along nicely.. Messrs. Geo. J. Kinard and brother, Alonzo, Nolan Epps and. brother, Edwin, and Joseph M. Wilson, who constitute the Union String Band, gave a musical entertainment at Mr. Perry Halfacre's last Saturday night. We learn that we were mistaken in saying that Mrs. Francis Wise, de ceased, was a member of Bachman Chapel church. She was a member of Colony church. We attended the burial and funeral services of Mrs. Polly Epting which took place at St. Paul's, as was men tioned in my last letter. The large con gregation present showed the high es teem in which the deceased was held. Her age was 48 years, 4 months and 29 days. She was the mother of seven children of which two have preceded her to the spirit land, one a grown- son who died while in service in the Spanish war. Rev. J. A. Sligh, her pastor, made a very touching and sympathetic talk, after which Rev. Lutz, of Pros perity, preached an appropriate sermon. The whole service was a message of consolation and comfort. The deceased was a woman who possessed some very noble traits in.life. She was a business woman, always faithful, not only to her domestic duties, but was also active in any other business matters pertaining to the church, or public good of her county. ~While we weep with the broken-hearted family, and know that she will be greatly missed, yet we are proud to be able to speak of her as we do. Dear sisters of the living, now is the time to let your light shine, that when you die the same may be said of you. It almost looks like threshing old straw to have anything further to say about the primar y. But we are going to be brief by saying that we are proud the storm is over, and the minds of the people are cooling down, and-so far as Newberry County is concerned, she has made a good selection, and the offices of the county will be well cared for in the hands of our newly elected officers. After all the scuffling around there have only been a few changes made. As to the members of the general assembly, they have only swapped Mr. Dominick for Mr. Aull. Mr. Dominick made us a good officer, but we feel sure that Mr. Aull will do the same. We can say the same of Messrs. Hodges and Wilson. They are both good men and fully com petent. This was about all the swap ping that was done. But here comes old Sam Moore and beats the whole shooting match. He takes Mr. Floyd's place, but Mr. Floyd wasn't running fr that office, so you can't call that a swap. So we all have a right to feel proud of our officers. They are all good men, and as I said, will take good care of our public interests. Mr. Perry Halfacre ginned 24 bales of cotton on one gin last Monday. Who can beat this? This great big rush at Perry's gin don't mean a big crop, or anything of the kind, it only means the right kind of a man with a first-class gin. It would be a great blessing if we had a county full of men like Perry Halfacre. There will be an election for deacons at Colony the next regular preaching day, which is the first Sunday in Octo Ther. ahrcags eyotn n The midsofthepl changeotn just abou mins of the polecagejs Laot weekfte ahrwa ol Lsom week peiting aeaer fall cool, weekit' wrm,rditn an teay rditalTei fall. i'wamanthypet Ja W.t Sell. 2T. 190W.
