T. Roy Summer THE NEWBERRY 8 UN riage) and it was suspended during the Confederate war, and only until its consolidation with other church papers in 1918 (a period of more than 50 years) did I cease to read it. When The Herald was established in Newberry March 21, 1865, I had read every copy of it (except one) until its consolidation with The Newberry Observer in 1938. Last August in celebration of its 76th anniversary, being the only Newberry newspaper man, thus familiar with its beginning and ending, I contributed the history of the paper, embracing an article of 4,000 words. Previously upon pub lication of the sesquicentennial edi tion of the Newberry’s 150th anmiver- saiy in 1939, my contribution to the sesqui-centennial edition of the New berry Observer included more than two score articles about the history of Newberry and its county. “I had edited The Observer from January 1898 to March 1901 while Mr. Wallace was superintendent of the Newberry graded school and edi tor of the Greenville News. “During the period of 1890-1904 served as Newberry correspondent of the News and Courier. In this connec tion I considered one of the best day’s work I ever did as a news gatherer in the newspaper line was on Saturday, February 28, 1892, cold cloudy day, when Col. J. C. Hemphill, editor of the Charleston paper, had sent me a note notice to canvass as many voters as possible that day and secure their expression from them as their choice for presi dent, (as that was campaign year) as candidate of the Democratic party. A large crowd was in town that day to hear the speech of Governor Till man in the opera house, and I was to report it also. I had 500 voters in terviewed by six Newberry college students, and 432 of the voters gave Grover Cleveland as their choice, but I do not recall hpw the remainder scattered their selection. I was press, man on the last 16-page “form” of the first section of “The Annals of New berry” of which I had ‘composed’ all of its more than 800 pages and print ed for its establishment the first half-tones in the state), and it was necessary to complete the “run”-off that day—and it was not finished until long after dark, as I went back and forth to the telegraph - station and printing office in wiring by piecemeal about 2000 words of Tillman’s speech to the News and Courier. My check for the canvas was 38 cents at space rates. (I gave ten dollars worth of books to the students for splendid services.) Cleveland was nominated and elected, defeating Benjamin Har. risen, who had defeated him for his second term in 1888, as Cleveland “turned the tables” on Harrison for hds second term in 1892—the only election of the kind in the history of the United States. It remains to be said that a prominent political ob server had made the statement a few days before that February Sat urday: “Cleveland is a back number.” (He had declined to express his choice .in the canvass by the students.) I told him that Cleveland would be nominated and elected by a larger majority than in 1884 (carrying New York by the bare majority around 1,200) when I won a wager of oysters from him.” “In sending my news letter to The News and Courier I often plan ned to indude an item or two about any current industrial or agricul tural proo-ress in the county with the avowed purpose to tempt Colonel Hemphill in writing an editorial ac cordingly, for his paper seldom did my ‘ruse’ fail, as within the week an editorial would appear from his trenchant pen. I remember this at tempt succeeded even when I did not let the correspondence lapse while convalescing from a delicately ser ious operation performed in August, 1895 by my brother, Dr. W. G. Hous- eal and my cousin, Dr. J. M. Kibler, at my home on Cornelia street. A month before the operation, while suffiering intense pain, I propped myself on a couch in The Lutheran Visitor office and, wrote a five-column sketch of the life of Rev. Jacob Haw kins, D. D. upon his death July 15. 1895. as he had be on its editor about eleven years, and embellished the page with a fine half-tone engraving of the subject of the sketch. “As a climax, William Banks, citv editor of The State in February 1907, gave me the nickname of “The Dutch Weather Prophet,” with the opinion that my weather forecasts were based on the signs of weather as believed by the de.dzens of the Dutch Fork of Newberry and Lexington . . .which is a half truth with many of the topic analyzed and given a scientific basis. However, I was given the name of “prophet” by my school mates in my 14th year, as my predic tion embraced world events as well as the weather from that time in my boyhood ’teens I never published any of my weather forecasts until Mr. Ambrose E. Gonzales admitted them to the columns of The State after testing their accuracy. “Appliances introduced by me in the printing business in Newberry FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1*40 Personal Mention Selective SemCC NeWS R.
