Mies Wtrte Ih:eHut: T*aoh,,r The following is from a correspondent in the Abbeville Press and Banner of the 6th: Miss Florence Werts, of Newberry, was elected teacher of the Long Cane school last Friday. Miss Werts is one of Newberry's fairest and most intelli gent young ladies. She graduated at the Graded School in 1899 and at Lime stone last June. To ;tiat 1'at.r a,n or tvpra s4u.m-. The management take pleasure in announcing that they have at large ex pense secured the Boston Ideal Opera Co. to sing the be:autiful comic opera "Said Pasha" on Monday night, Octo ber 13th. As we had to guarantee this attrac tion we hope the theatre going public will give us their patronage. Read press notices'in other columns of this paper.

Newberry will give them a right royal welcome. It has been nearly a quarter of a century since we had the conference with us, and during that time there have been many changes in our conference and in the citizenship of Newberry. It has been almost a generation. The sessions were held in the Baptist church, that being the larg est auditorium at that time in the city. Now the old Methodist church has been supplanted by a new modern brick structure, and the old wooden building has been torn down. We shall be glad to see our Methodist brethren and make them feel at home among us. iation. The Newberry Division of the Mutual Insurance Association is being organ ized with the following officers: B. C. Matthews president, W. G. Houseal, secretary and treasurer. The list of the Towvnship Directors has not been completed. This undertaking is meet ing with much favor at the hands of our peop)le andl policies on the lives of many of our best business men have already been written. Thc plan of the association is uique. It seems that every weak p)oint in ordinary assess ment insurance has been successfully met. It gives security at the least possible cost and all the money is kept at home. The gentlemen at the head of the undertaking are among our best known and most respectable citizens. As soon as 1,200 names are secured the policies will be issued. This the management hopes to accomplish in a short time. 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 a labor of love. I want every citizen to appoint himself a com mittee of one to assist the townshii. 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. To the township committees I would say, please go to the Clerk of Court's office and get the enrollment l'ooks andi let's try to complete the wvork by the first day of January, 1903. I would ask the committee also to ask each member of the James D. Nanice Camp of Veterans to pay to them their an nual dues, so they can be tui ned over to the adjutant by the 1st of January, 1903. The annual dues are 25 cents for each member. W. G. Peterson, Chairman Enrollment Committee. HI,I~rann.t Nujonnc. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authori ties. They have dispelled the silly no tion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particuiar part of the body but it will sustain every other part. Yt, however good your food mey be,.its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or pre vent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy mil lions.

Ths Old 1 th( l,It Cihure-h fia rulfilled Its Miii and Is a Thhag of t.hn 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 has been steady and ;. re. But it is with a pleasure notunmixed 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 p)assing away. The Newvberry of form er days is gradually fading from view, and a new city, wvith broaded horizon, and newv and modei n ideas, is taking her position ini the vanguard of prog The old Central Methodist church has now dlisappeared. 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 Newvberry. 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. Musicians with leading American bands must be not alone proficient in playing instruments--t.hey must be thoroughly schooled musicians, able, on a pinch, to write a two-step march or score a symphony. Having passed muster as competent artis.ts, their unions fix a price, below which they cannot play. This is approximately $6.00 to $7.00 a (lay, 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 abilhty, practically fix their own rate of wages. Instrumental soloists with such a band as Innes', are paid high as $150 a week. Innes and his Band are among the attractions booked to appear here. T[HE RISER MIILLINE~RY CO0. WVo sell the Gage iat which is famous for its good style and( beauty.

New Firms Soeking New QAurters-Per. sonal Mention -All the News Of a Live Town. Prosperity, S. C., Oct. 9.--The new firm of Schumpert & Counts expect to get into their new quarters during the early part of next week. Their new quarters will be the corner store of the Baker trio. Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Brown, of Spen cer, N. C., returned to their home Thursday of this week. Mrs. Brown has been hero since the early part of September and was joined a week ago 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.

There was no preaching at Colony and Mr. Mid Griffin's last Sunday, we suppose on account of the rain. Professor D. A. Quattlebaum resumed 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 dowvn to wvrite, I always feel that I wvould like to tell the peop)le something of interest. But I feel very (lull and grum tonight, and when I un dertake to write wvhile 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 newvs, and it has come our time to write, so let it roll for what it's worth. When our editor wvas nominated as one of our members of the general as sembly we p)redicted 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 pee p)le may prove detrimental to another. Those States that have an educational lawv are Northern States, andl the prin cip)al part of their poor p)eople are Ia Iborers 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 p)eople (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 p)oor people are cotton mill operatives, but we should feel thankful that their educa tiona'l interests are being cared for. At our Newberry cotton mill Mr. T. J. McCrary is dloing 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 no one who loves his State will dispute the fact that every white child within the bounds of the State should receive a common school education. This we ad mit. But we must adlmit that we are already advancing along this line more rapidly than any generation within the history of time. There has been the greatest stride for the past twenty years in this direction that history can prodluce. The question may arise, howv are we to get longrer terms of schoo BOSTON IDEAL OPERA CO. A Musloil Tr"at at the Opera House on Next Mond ey Nlght-'Said Pasha" the Play. On Monday night, October 18, the original Boston Ideal Opera Company of 35 noted artists will present the 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 at less 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 yenrs 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 pi ide 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 dlon'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 p)oor illiterate girl in the up country for ar' gument. That is an isolated case. We dlon't suppose that you could find another out of five thousand. Then must we put a punishment upon a wvhole 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.
