Vaccination.
We notice from tire papers tlmt a cor*
respomlence has taken place between ( ur
townsman, Dr. J. G. Going, smallpox
i physician of Union, and Dr. James
Evans, of the State board. The corre1
rcspondence was referred to Gov. MoSweeney
who took it up with Senator
Djuglai-s. Dr. Going wrote a personal
letter to tho governor setting forth the
facts that he had quarantined a ca-o of
1 small pox near Delta and attempted to
vaccinate those who had been exposal.
They resisted and he appealed to Magis%
trate I. M. Moblcy who refused to hsue
warrants for their arrests, and after
renting tho law ftrted he would resign
5 rattier than gain tli3 ill will of the com'
munity by enforcing the vaccination.
Mr. I. M. Mobley writes Gov. McSweeney
that the charges are absolutely
i false and asks that an investigation be
- made Irefore action is taken.

* Mr. Hubjit I/ibadie witb bis excellent
company presented Faint Tuesday
1 night to a small but appreciative audience.
This company is thoroughly,
equipped with scenery, electrical apparatus,
etc. The playing was good
throughout. Hubsrt I/ibadie, as Miphis
to, and Mary Von Tromp as Marguerite,
handled their lines in a professional
manner.
The scenic effect was by far the
grandest ever seen in thii city. The
electric display was almost c?j nil to
1'aine's lire works. The electric sp irks
that sputtered and ll ished all ovyr the
stage, manipulated by Mephisto himself,
in the most demonical manner, which
caused a shudder to pass over the audience
when showing tho attractiveness
of his abode, was something awful to
behold. The company cei tainly deserved
a very much larger audience. The effects;
of the red, white or blue lights used in
the different acts were beautiful to
behold. Should Mr. I/ibadie make a
return we think he would meet a much
larger audience. "

Newberry Jlns Our Sympathy.
The grim monster has surely laid a
heavy hand on our sister city Newbev
y during the last week. It is
with much regret that wo reed the
ic'ountofthe death of Mr. R. H.
Grreneker, Sr., and Mr. I. N, Gary.
They were both good men and Newberry
can ill alTord the loss of sncli
valuable citizens. We have the kindest
recollections of both, having known
them from our childhood. They were
both noted for their kind, gentle and
christian characters. We havo been
associated with Mr. (ircnekcr a great
ileal in our apprenticeship in the
printing business, and have always
found him n kind and obliging friend,
ever ready to give a kindly word of
advice and we considered him one of
our very best friends. We shall ever
remember him with tho kindliest
feelings, to know him was to love
him for his kind and gentle nature,
and ever cheerful disposition. Tho
family have our most heartfelt sympathy
in their ailliction.
