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.
