To the People of Newberry County: We are trying to get a complete roll of those who were in the Confederate Army, Navy or State Reserves during the war between the States. We want this enrollment by townships. I have appointed a committee of three from each township to get up the enrollment. This is to be alabor of love. I want every citizen to appoint himself a com mjttee of one to assist the township committees and see that no soldier, sailor, member of the Reserves, boy company or Citadel cadet who entered the service is left out of the roll. *Tothe township committees I would say, please go to the Clerk of Court's ofBece and get the enrollment tooks and let's try to complete the work by the first day of January, 1903. I would ask the committee also to ask each member of the James D. Nand~ Camp of Veterans to pay to them their an nual dues, so they can be turned over to the adjutant by the 1st of January, The annual dues are 25 cents for each member. W. G.

Th.a Old Methodtas Church BaN Fuliled~ it,U MuInon and ta a Thtag of the Past. The remakable material progress of Newberry during the past decade should be a source of just pride and pleasure to each and every one of her citizens. Growth has not been rapid, but it lias been steady and sure. But it is with a pleasure not unmixed with something of sadness that our oldest inhabitants view the passing of the old and the incoming of the new. The old landmarks in succession are passing away. The Newberry of form er days is gradually fading from view, and a new city, with broaded horizon, and new and modern ideas, is taking her position in the vanguard of prog ress. The ok4 Central Methodist church hias now disappeared. Erected in 1833, for more than three-quarters of a century it had been the scene of the labors and difficulties, the struggles and the tri umphs, of the Methodists in Newberry. Around it clustered their most sacred memories, in it were centred then dearest hopes. But it had fulfilled its mission and gave way at the command of the stern law of change. A new and beautiful and modern structure, the pride of Newberry and of Methodism in South Carolina, has taken its place. The image of the old is enshrined in the memories of those who worshipped within its walls; the new bears witness to their labors crowned with success. Ibnes and His irand. Musicians with leading American bands must be not alone proficient in playing instruments-they must be thoroughly schooled musicians, able, or a pinch, to write a two-step march or score a symphony. Having passed muster as competent artists, their unions fix a price, below which they cannot play. This is approximately $6.00 to $7.00 a day, varying in differ ent places, but as the amount of good material is scarcely adequate to the de mand, the union rule is scarcely needed to protect them. Those of marked abity, practically fix their own rate of wages. Instrumental soloists witli such a band as Innes', are paid high as $150 a week. Ines and his Band are among the attractions booked to appear here.

New Firms Seeking New Quarters-Per sonal Mention-All the News Of a Live Town. D Prosperity, S. C., Oct. 9.-The new firm of Schumpert & Counts expect tc get into their new quarters during the early part of next week. Their new quarters will be the corner store of the e Baker trio. Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Brown, of Spen - cer, N. C., returned to their home ni Thursday of this week. Mrs. Brown has been here since the early part of 1 September and was joined a week ago i by Mr. Brown, and together they have visited relatives in Newberry, here, and , in other parts of the county. Miss May Dominick is off on a visit to relatives in Louisiana. Our farmers seem to have a little tinge of disappointment in the cotton crop. The general opinion, however, is that it is as good as last year. The crop is about all harvested. But the country is all solid on corn and peas. Mr. K. Baker, of Greenwood, spent a Z few days here during the week. - The Sunday school of Grace Lutheran - church is looking forward with pleasant anticipations to next Sunday's session. l Tbe exercises begin at 10.30 o'clock. t The day is Missionary Day for the Children's Missionary Society, and the special features will be addresses by 1 1)r. C. T. Wyche, of our town, and Dr. G. B. Cromer, of Newberry College. Mrs. E. K. Gibson and Miss Kate Mobley, of Columbia, are visiting at Mr. F. E. Schumpert's. " The familiar face of Dr. A. F.

J W. There was no preaching at Colony and Mr. Mid Griffin's last Sunday, we suppose on account of the rain. Professor D. A. Quattlebaumnresumed his school at Delmar, Saluda County, last Monday. There will be communion services at St. Philip's next Sunday. No preaching at Bachman Chapel next Sunday evening. It was put off until the third Sunday when there will be communion. Miss Olive Feagle left last Saturday for Williams', No. 7, and reopened her school on Monday morning. When I sit down to write, I always feel that I would like to tell the people something of interest. But I feel very dull and grum tonight, and when I un dertake to write while in this fix it is a perfect burden to me, and I fear what I say is not worth very much. But the editor says he must have news, and it has come our time to write, so let it roll for what it's worth. When our editor was nominated as one of our members of'the general as sembly we predicted that he would be come a shining light, not only in the halls of the legislature, but to the whole, State at large. Why we say this is be cause there is nothing lacking about his ability. He has a first class college education, besides is backed up with all the practicability and experience that go to make a smart man. But notwith standing all this, we fear that he has got hold of the wrong end of the sin gletree when he advocates a compul sory educational law for South Caro lina. It is true that there are other States that have a compulsory educa tional law, but we must bear in mind that what may prove good for one peo ple may prove detrimental to another. Those States that have an educational law are Northern States, and the prin cipal part of their poor people are la borers in manufacturing departments, and no doubt their educational interests are being neglected, consequently it is necessary for legislation in this respect. But it is not the case down South. The principal part of we poor people down here are engaged in an agricul tural line. It is true that the cotton mills are coming South, and possibly about five per cent. of us poor people are cotton mill operatives, but we should feel thankful that their educa tional interests are being cared for. At our Newberry cotton mill Mr. T. J. ,McCrary is doing everything possible to meet this emergency. They are running a first class school there now day and night. What more do you -want? Too much of a thing sometimes -is worse than not enough. But in the . face of all this, the editor says that - South Carolina needs such a law, and it should come as soon as possible, and nc one who loves his State will dispute the r fact that every white child within the bounds of the State should receive a r common school education. This we ad ,mit. But we must admit that we are s already advancing along this line more rapidly than any generation within the s history of time. There has been the s greatest stride for the past twent: years in this direction that history ca prdc.Teqetinmyaie io preduce The eston temy ofis,hov BO)srON IDEAL OPERA CO. A Musical Treat at the Opera Houe on Next Monday Night-"Maid Pash6" the Play. On Monday night, October 13, the original Boston Ideal Opera Company of 35 noted artists .will present the1 comic opera success, "Said Pasha," at the Opera House. This splendid organ ization requires no introduction as their name is a household word in every State in this union. Besides an all star cast of principals, the large and handsome chorus of pretty girls and the grand orchestra are great features. The man agement of the Opera House have guaranteed this attraction and have ar ranged with them that the highest price seats will be only 75 cents, which will be the first time in the history of the Boston Ideals that they have played a one night engagement atless than $1.00. Few other operatic organizations have ever had the success that has been attained by the Boston Ideals. This company was organized six years ago, since which time it has appeared in nearly every city of over ten thous and inhabitants on this continent, es tablishing an enviable reputation every where. The success of the Boston Ideal Opera Company is due to the fact that it is an American organization, the principals being selected from our very best American artists. The members of the chorus are handsome, and possess excellent voices, which have had the best training possible to obtain. The operas are produced under the efficient leadership of experienced-directors, and the business management is under the careful guidance of well known and reputable business men. This, with the extensive repertoire of grand and stand ard operas, sung in English, magnifi cently costumed, and the prices within the reach of the masses, justifies the assertion that the Boston Ideal Opera Company is the most successful English Opera Company on tour in America; and it is with pilde and pleasure that the management present it to the pub lic. Seats are now on sale at Mayes' Book Store. without more money? So you see the people are already overburdened with taxation, and if there is a continuation of putting on instead of taking off they will rise in rebellion against it. We already have a good school system and there is no use of monopolizing it sim ply because everything else is going into monopolies. I don't intend to put any special stress upon education. But the people, or at least a part of them, are going frantic in this direction. As I have said once before, there are at least three-fifths of the white parents doing everything available to school their children, in fact there are hun dreds of them making sacrifice, and what more can they do? What's the use to put the lash on a horse and try to make him pull that which is beyond his power? Then what's the use to ap propriate money to run a nine months school when we poor people can't hardly spare our children to go six months out of the year? The fact of the business is, good people, education don't make a man, and we think that Josh Ashley has proved this to be true. Mr. Editor, there is no use of bringing up that poor illiterate girl in the up country for ar gument. That is an isolated case. We don't suppose that you could find another out of five thousand. Then must we put a punislunent upon a whole people to reach one out of ten thousand? Any parents who neglect the moral training of their children in that respect are not worthy to live. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Rauch, of Lex ington, visited their daughter and fam ily, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Wilson, last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. J. D. Quattlebaum has bought the Bachman Chapel school house and will convert it into a dwelling. Mr. M. C. Moore has moved from Newberry back into the country. He occupies the J. H. Kibler residence. The county board of supervisors of registration had quite'a busy day last Monday, as that was the last day for opening the books before the general election. If there are any who are en titled to a certificate who have not reg istered it is their own fault. T. J.W. October 9, 1902.
