TWO NEW AGENTS. S. H. McLean Succeeds J. A. Burton al the Southern-J. W. Denning Suc.. ceeds B. Cavenaugh. The past few days have noted a num ber of changes in railroad circles in Newberry. At the Southern depot Mr. S. H. Mc Lean succeeds Mr. J. A. Burton as agent. Mr. T. N. Parks, former billing clerk, takes Mr. McLean's place as cashier. The position of billing clerk to succeed Mr. l'arks has not yet been filled. Thes. changes at the Southern were caused by the resignation of Mr. J. A. Burton, who has held the position of agent for the past seven or eight years. Mr. Burton was recently elected presi dent of the Carolina Manufacturing Company, to succeed Mr. M. A. Car lisle, and assumed the discharge of the duties of his new office on Wednesday. He intends to devote his whole time to the company, and sent in to the railroad authorities his resignation as agent, to take effect on Wednesday. Mr. S. H. McLean, cashier under Mr. Burton, was ap pointed his successor. The appointment of Mr McLean meets with the unqualified approval of cit izens of Newberry and patrons of the road. Mr. McLean has been in the railroad btness for ten years, begin ning as agent at Chappells. On the 2d of June, 1897, he was transferred to this city, and served as ticket agent for three years. Upon the death of Mr. Henry Hough he was promoted to billing clerk, and a year later succeeded Capt. N. B. Mazyck as cashier, which position he held until Wednesday. Mr. McLean learned telegraphy while messenger boy for Dudley Langford, at Prosperity. He is a very young man and a native of the county, having been born at Prosperity in 1876. The Newberry traveling public re ceived the news of Mr. Burton's resigna tion with regret, and it is a matter of gratification to them that he will be succeeded by Mr. McLean, who has hosts of friends in the city and throughout the county and State. AT TIlE C., N. & L. Mr. E. Cavenaugh, agent at the Co lumbia, Newberry and Laurens road, resigned several days ago in order to enter the mercantile business here. Mr. J. W. Denning, who has been con nected with the Laurens office as clerk for the past several years, has been ap pointed agent to succeed Ml r. Cavenaugh, and will take charge on Monday. Mr. Denning was formerly operator at New berry and has many friends here who are glad that he will again make New berry his home. Sent to the Gang. Mayor Earhardt on Tuesday morning sent to the gang for thirty (lays Ran dolph Williams, colored, charged with stealing. It appears that on Saturday afternoon while in the store of L. Morris, on Main street, he reached in Sside one of the showv eases and took therefrom a wvatch of not very great value. The wvatch was missed by Moris, who susp)ectedl the negro. Mon day morning Morris notified Policeman Bedenbaugh, wvho made the arrest. While walking with Mr. Bedenbaugh to the police station the wvatch dropped out of the negro's p)ockets. Randolph pleaded guilty on Tfuesday morning and a sentence of $25 or 30 days was im posed. The negro p)referred the days. N ewberry's Representative. The Associate Reformed Presby terian, Due West, prints the following, from President Cromer, of Newberiy Col lege's representative in the Inter-col legiate Oratorical Contest, to be held in Greenwood on the 24th of A pril: Newberry College will be represented in the Oratorical Contest by Gerard C. Merchant, who wes bo"n at Jalapa, Newberiy county, November 18, 1884. Hie is a memb)er of the Senior class, and 'n excellent studlent. IIe won the SFreshman urize for the best examina tion for admlfision1 to the Sophomore class; the medal for the examination in Sophomore G reek, and the .Junior ora torical medal. He is a son of Mr. W. E. Merchant, of .Jalapa. The Tax Elxecutions. Five huidred andl ninety-two taix ex ecutions have been placed ini the hands of Sheriff Buford. This, however, is about the usual numb,er. TVlje Sheri ff's offce has been busy for the piast few (lays getting ready to serve notice upon the dlelinquents. The city authorities have also signed up about five hundred wvhich wvill ho handed to the SherifY by next. Monday. Letter to Jno. M. Klnard, of New berry, S. C. D)ear sir: You can afford the best, andl your business ex~ perience has shown you that it is also the cheapest. If all men wvouldl learn this, they d save a lot of money. Devoe Lead and Zine costs a little more per gallon than mixedl paints, but it takes fewer gallons to paint a house, nnd it wears longer. It is the cheapest paint in the world. Mr. Frank A. Morse, dIruggist of West Rutland, Vt., writes: "I ordered 15 gallons of your paint, thinking, from experience with mixed paints, that it would reqluire that amount to cover miy house. I uised only 8r M~o1. AXustin Belcher, of Wint.hrop, Mass., bought eleven gallons; lhe only usedl six. Our agent at Morrisville, N. Y., Mr. E. N. Dexter, wvrites: "On every job I have sold, Deovoc Lead and Zinc has given goodl satisfac tion and has taken a less quianitity thar expected." We couldl make this letter a hlundre( times as long wvith such examples. Yours truly, I". W. D)ivoi: & Co., Newv York. P. S. -The Newherry Hardware Co. NBWBBRRY DBPBATS PURMAN. A Pretty Game on the College Diamond Tuesday Afternoon Resulting in a Score of 5 to 4. In an interesting game of ball, char acterized by good, steady playing on both sides, Newberry College defeated Furman University here on Tuesday afternoon by a score of five to tihree. The game was close at every point and the score was tied in the fifth inning. In the eighth inning, however, Simpson con nected with the sphere for a single and chased Olney home, and in the ninth, Newberry added one more to her cred it. There was only one disappointing feature in the game, and that was the way the Newberry boys ambled around the bases. There were two double plays, both for Newberry from Rcesel to Wiles to Harms and Newberry's outfield was in excellent shape and did superior work. Three of Newberry's five runs were scored in the first inning. Cabaniss took first because Furman's twirler fonr times failed to see the slab, ad vanc.d to second- on Simpson's hit, to third cn an error and home on a passed ball. Wiles laid up against the leather sending it for an aerial flight to the left fence and Merchant, after a short absence, returned home. Roesel was given first as a token of the ap preciation of Furman's pitcher, while Wiles went down on third. Merchant hit and Roesel added the -third score. Coleman and Harms took pity and re tired the side. Furman scored one: Rice got a single, and the next man up, Holland, in a sudden fury, swung the willow and the sphere, hit so hard that it thought itself a balloon, soared with in a very few inches of centre fence; Wright connected and Rice was wel comed home. Though she tried ever so hard, however, Furman could not land another man and the score was three to one in favor of the home team. For the next three and a half innings things broke gently and neither side was able to score. The second inning was devoid of anything to make the side lines howl-on both sides it was three men up and three men down. In the fourth Merchant beautifully handled a hot liner to right and the fans went wild. In this spam also on a grounder to short by Clinkscales a pretty double for Newberry was made by Roesel to Wiles to Harms. At the end of the fifth Furman tied the score after this wise: Though Scaife wildly beat the air Williams was given first by a glar ing error, and the next two men re peated the dose, Sublett fanning and Laval reaching first on an error; Rice connected and sent a beautiful fly to left; it was a hit but Coleman went to sleep and Williams and Laval were both brought again within the family fold on a single; Holland, however, was next up and never having seen W les except in a game of foot ball sent a .ly in his direction and retired the Bap tists. In the sixth, though no score was added for either side, the fanatics were given a chance to make themselves hoarse oy another double Roesel to Wiles to Harms. In the seventh spasm things pursued the even tenor of their way. In the eighth Newberry made the score four to three, Olney getting home on Simpson's connection. Mer chant retired side while gently ambling down towards second. In the ninth Newberry made the score five to three, Roesel being treated to first on an error and chasing around on hits, and scoring because the visiting twirler went wild and his catcher was not as tall as a telephone post. Merchant at this point dreamed the distance home from third was only ten feet and when he got to the tenth foot woke up from the effects of the touch of the ball in a Furman hand andl retiredl the side. Furman triedl in vain to score but gave up the ghost. SCORE BY INNINGS. 123456789' Newberry 30 00 0 00 11-5 Furman 10 0 02 0 000 2 Hits: Newberry 8, Furman 5. Errors: Newb rry 5, Furman 8.
