The files of the HERALD of 1882-3 have been borrowed by some one not known to us. A return of the same to this office is requested. * The Herald and News Heading Appears at last. We hope it will please the eye of the reader. We take this occasion to thank our friends and the entire State Piess for the many kind and coinplinientary words they have seen fit to give us. The Newberry RaLD AND NEWS now throws its -... b tiner to the breeze. The pleasant relations now existing may we strive to cement and make lasting. $10,000 Damages. Hor.ice Edwin Bruee, a merchant of Colu;nbia, is being sued for $10.' 00 a mge.. by W. B. McDaniel, for slan- !eriu; th.. good nam. of his wife. Mr. McDaniel has since stied Albert E. Fugie also for 810.000 for defaming Mrs. McDaniel's character. Not Credited. Our worthy friend and brother, Me- Sweeny, ia excused for oversght in neckionnledging a tifteen line local to the HERALD AND NEWS. The reason for the~over.ight we suppose is that his rockets are so filled with candi- dates' fees as to cause mental blind- ness. Discharged. At the February, 1881, Term of Court for Newberry County, Fincher Rutherford was convicted of burglary -bre tking into the hiouse of Dr. Jas. P. John;son-and sentenced to life im- pr:i5.i.et in the penitentiairy. M. A.

Oni S lmttay last a mule ran away with a buggy containing Mss .Ja,ie Chialmer=, of Ja'apa, and Miss L-zzie± Copelanid, of Clinton. The malie iran :about a hundred vatrds and turned off into the woods, b:eaking loose from the buggy. Miss Copeland had lier ankie spr.ained. Selentifie Agriculture. In our agricultural column appears a piece ot how to cushion baby car- ri:iges. How the printer got it th'-re we are at a loss to undeistand. The -only way we can account for it Is, lie mvts have been thinking of farm, gar- dea and hou<ehold. and was led away byv the refi action that "a matrhnonial frulit-bas5ket" is a necessary adjunet. An-I every farmer knows that eradles are indispensible in the harvesting of a crop. A Negro Shoots Another. L'tt Friday evening a diffienlty oc- eurred between Johnu Cannon, living on Mr. Henry Koon's Kinard place, a id IIentz Slighi. who lives on Mr. T. B3. Chialmers' place. From what we are told by a gentleman who knows the3 parties it appears that Cannon's wIfe was away from hiome on his re- turn fromn Newbarry and h-e met her at Sligh's house, when he somewhat cha<tised lhen. Sigh told hIm he was taking the law ini his own hands, and a diffienty then occurred between the two men, in which Cannon got the worst of it. Cannon thereupon left, but returned with a gun and shot Sligh in the knee. The wounded man is doing well. Pardoned. Robert Gallman, a younig negro about et vears old, was convicted of fornication at the last March term of cou:-t for Newberry County, and sen- tence,l by Judge Fraser to imprison- ment in the penitentiary for amonths. He has been pardoned by Governor Thompson. after having served four months of his sentence. The petition for his pardon was signed by leading citizens of Newberry. including sev- eral of the county offisers, as lie was convicted upon the testimony of a wo- man of bad character, and it also hav- ing be2n proved at his trial that Gall- nun's charaeter was more than ordi- narily good for one of his race. The- Tmde and Solicitor recommended his M''". Gallman was represented by ** litit. Jr. ti MOLLOIION ROW, OPPOSITE THE COURT HOUSE. COFIELD, PETTY & CO., PROPRIETORS. The County Democratic Committee Met here Tuesday morning. 26th, to canvass the returns of the Primary Election held on the 19th inst. The following members were present : Township No. 1, Jas. K. P. Goggans. Chairmnan. ---N. 2, T. B. C:hahiners. ., B. H. Maybin. 4, M. M. Buford. 5, T. II. Ch:tlners. S. J. R. Spear- man, Jr. 9. Alan Wve. 10. D. II. Werts. Townships r. 7 and ii were not represented. [The tabulated re- port published la-t week was corcect, with the exeeption of a few figures here and th."re which made no mate- ri:l difference.] After declaring the nomineea of the party and annouimeing the time for the second primary elec- tion and the candidates to be voted for (all of which haA already been pub- iished) the committee adjourned. A Salutatory. With the advent of our new heading the lo(al thinks it an appropriate time to utttr a few words, or forever here- after1iold his peace. What we have joined together let no man put asun- der. Men, women and children desire something new under the sun. They require it, and inquire for it, and some acquire the habit so strongly they per- spire in their ef'orts to be first ii find- i<ig out what tr:mnpires. The public appetite continually craves something new. The uewspli.er editor must dig deep or die. The public appetite is a big thing. It is insatiable, unquench- able, never-ying. Bit we will dig around in the junrnalistic pasturres green and try to find something before everybody else finds it out. And as variety is the spice of life and brevity the soul of wit, and originality about the newest thing under the sun, we will try too to be brief, original and ".various." Much Milk. The American Agriculturist furnishes an account of a Holstein cow, now dead, which gave one hundred and three and one qu:irter pounds of milk in one day-or thirteen gallons. Of another, the "Crown Jewel," pure blue blood of Holland, which gave seventy pounds of milk per day for one month; thirty-four quarts, or eight gallons. She made nineteen pounds of butter in one week. Wonderful cows, truly. Next Generation. We dislike to publish the following, but think it only fair that the girls of the next generation should know how the thing is going to work. The girls of the present period are all right : A Philadelphia magazine makes the statement that marriage is on the de- erease, and it predicts that every twen- tieth gil of the next generation will be obliged to live an old maid. Just One Minute. There has been a slight change, very slight for this station, in the schedule of the C. & G. R. R. The. train from Columbia passes Newberry at 2-51 p. mi.-one minute earlier than before the laist change. Railroad men are minute men, and railroad.e, like time and tide, wait for no mani. So make a niote of this f::et, for many a main ha~s b- ein just one minute too late. and you. reader, may sonic day fail to make connection and-I-thien you'll be left. We are right now. Another $10,000 Damages. The Columbia 1?egister says that Col. R. C. Watts of Lau:rens states that papers have been tiled in the office of the Clerk of the Court of Laurens County, in the case of Martha Eliza Burdett against Wim. H. Pool, a prom- inient grocery merchaint of Laurens- yille, in whlich th~e plaintifY charges se- duction tinder promise of miarr'age, anid claims damages to the aiouiit of 8 0,0 .0. The plain tif1f has recenitly become a mother. Sue is represented by Messrs. Ball & Watts. The ese h?ms excite,] deep initerest, atnd Col. Watts says will be a lively trial. Some Snakes. Rev. A. J. Stokes, of pleasant New- berry memory, has been doing the State as well as the Chui:ch good ser- vicer. As Presiding Elder of the Sum- ter Distrier, and wvhile oin his rotunds, he killed a huge moceasin, a pot inor- tern examination of the monster bring- ing to light forty young moeeasins, each abont seven inches in len:Shil. They were enclosed in separate sacks, showing that all snakes do not propa- gate by egga. We have heard of a chariot drawno by forty grey horses, but never of forty young snakes in this way. Neverthe*less we do not dloubt the story i.m the least. Is She Wild? Last Friday oi.e of thme laborers on Judge J. B. Fellers' pihtee, four miles from town, saiw a white wvoman, ap- parently about 4' years old, hanging out her clothes to dey on some btishes in oiie of the fields. IIe could get no satisfaction from her. In answer to his question she Informed him that she was not lost. It was very evident that she was a stranger to those parts. The man left her to consult with oth- ers. On returning, it was found that she had gone, but not far, as she was seen sitting near a drain, eating. She was agaIn left to her solitude, with nono to molest or make her afrali as she enjoyed her frugal meal, and Judge Fellers was informed of the state of affairs, and his legal counsel asked as to a settlement of the diffi- culty, 'rhe Judge didn't thInk It ne- cessary to take out letters on her es- tale, said that she must be made to go --not stand on the order of her going but go at once-If she didn't make the object of her visit clearly and satisfac- torily known, But when the messa ge got there the stranger had gone. Shbe was next heard froni at Mrs. Elizabeth Gallman's, asking for'-something to eat. She told them she knew some- body lived there because she saw the hou'e, Late that afternoon ehe wvent into a grove near by, swvept a-place clean, and laid down and slept ithere all night. The next mornIing she stopped at Mrs. ElIzabeth Reedia for a cup of coffee and some bread. We have heard nothing of her since. DIsinfect your premises with crude carbolic acid.

Mi=s Anna Stuekinau, an accom- plished anl attractive young lady of Newberry, has returned home after a pleasant visit to her brother, Mr. S. W. Stuckman, of this county.-Lexington Dispatch. Miss Janie Wardllaw, so popular among us both socially and profes- sionally, is now on a visit to Winn- boro. She will ret:irn to Edgeth ld the last of the present noith, and re- open her school on the first day of September.--Adrerliser. We received a pleasant call on Sat- urday last from Mr. John A. Chapnan, of Newberry Village. Mr. Chapman is the proprietor of Chapman's B ,ok Store, and is quite extensively known as anl author and editor, to say no- thing of his fame as a poet. He was accompanied by his brother, Mr. A. M. Chaliman, of Coleman Township, in this eounty.-Edgefield Monitor. "Please allow me to add to the cx- cellent report of the E.lgetield Baptist Sundav School Convention by brother Luther Broaddus, thit lie was a host with us himself. His sermon and speeches were brimful of cogent truth, practical suggestion and pathetic illus- tration-the recollection of which will ever be fragrant in the minds of thase whose privilege it was to hear lim."- J. K. Fanf, in Baptist Courier. Mrs. James F. Todd and chil,be:: of Newberry are spending a few weeks at the old homestead.-Mr. Charlie Zobel and Misses Lina and Mary Z:>bel of Helena vi=ited friends here last week. Hope they enjoyed their visit well enough to come again.-Mr. Proc- tor Told, who is now a prosperous young mercltant of Newberry, has been spending a few weeks at his mo- ther's, to get rid of the chills.-Long Branch Correspondent in Laurensrille Herald. The Hon. J. A. Slighl, who has been nominated for the Senate, is a man of more than average strengfh. At the call of his friends he became a e:mldi- date for the House and was elected to this position. where he exerted a coin- manding influence in favor of tempe- rance and reform. Again he has been nominated after a hotly contested ca:- vase. Mr. Sligh has served in the po- litical arena without reproach, and will command the respect of all who know him. During the past twenty years lie has filled the pulpit of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in this vicin- ;ity. He has also conducted one of the best farms in this section. Among other positions of tru-t he tills that of president for the board of Newberry College. Men differ here on many points ; but there is a gratifying agree- ment in favor of our nominee for the Senate. Mr. Sligh is a strong man, of sterling worth and commanding inlin- ence.-Prosper;ty correspondence in iNews and Courier. Avoid malaria by using in time Pel- ham's Certain Chill and Ague Specific.

Red Hair, Mosquitoes and Bustles. The local editor of the HERALD AND NEWS stauied out to pick up items. Editorial matter and selections aind clippings he was not after. He was in search of original, pungent paragraphs for the people-local news, for locals they must have, whether anything happens or not. The Asiatic cholera may raige and spread, and investiga- tions prove that the Arctic explorers ate the flesh of the dead ; France may put on her wvar paint and pull China's big pig-tail and make the heathen rage all samee like Melican m.n ; the anti- Jewish riots may continue in Yeka- tarinosto, Southern Russia, and at- tempts be made to seal up the German colony at Angra Pequena, in Africa; the relief of Khartoum may perplex and worry others besides the inhabi- tants of Wady HaIfa and Suakimn and Keah and Kasseir and so forth; plague, pestilence and famine, battle and murder may range from the gilded palaces and Orient al splendour of the East to the dark jnngles and dirty mud hovels of the far West, where for long, lost centuries the star of empire has been taking its course; slander and scandal may continue to be the leading question in the Presidential race and Ben Butler try to get his re- venge in Cleveland's defeat ; anti-pro- hibition may swell one-half of the country and spirits dwell in the other, n hile baseball and gnats predomrinate in Newberry, and the heat be strong enough to run the phosphate royalty throagh the State University into the Columbia Canal; the big injun may whoop and dance on the wild prairie and k!ck up as much noise as the boys who voted for Sligh, Pope, Schum- pert and Hardy ; the telegraph and cable may continue dlaily to send the electric fiash of intelligence and flood the countries with news, circling the hemispheres, as to wvhat is transpiming ; sixty-seven persons may die each1min- ute, while seventy are born, according to a European newspaper's calcula- tion ; the earth may quake and oceans roar and stars and planets etigage the astronomer's eye ; all this and more, may go on from day to day, but local news must be found. Bitt what has thisg to do with red hair, mosquitoes and bustles? Nothing, only, as said before, we started out local hunting, and found game scarne. There was a lumlt in the streets, with an occasional lullaby in the houses. Not a leaf stirred; you know the balance--but that is old. Well, knowing the ave- rage Newberrian's desire for news, not manufactured but genuine, we fanned the dad-blamed gnats away, wiped the perspiration from our face, pulled our vest away from our suspenders and- did the saLme tihing over again. How- ever, wve succeeded In picking up a few dots, caught on the fly here and there, which can be found in other column;. On our return we came across the in- formation that natural red hair is worth from 818 to $20 per ounce ; that a mosquito always kisses a pret ty girl before he bites her ; and that a married lady heard a young lady say she had eve- ry newspaper in the State in her bustle except the Christian Adrocate, and when she got idle she just reached back and pulled out a paper to while away the time.

Newberry will be represented in the next South Carolina General Assembly by a preacher, a lawyer, a doctor and a farmer. The Columbia Palmetto Yeoman has entered its sixth volume. For five years it has shown energy and grit. Pluck and merit, like blood, will tell. Miss Nora Cofield's school com- mences its 'Fall session the 15th of September. It is earnestly hoped the opening attendance will be flatteringly large. The State Sunday School Conven- tion will meet in Columbia on ..the 17th of September at 8 p. ni., and re- main in session until the night of 18th inclusive.

We wouldn't have noticed it, but or the glaring, staring fact that news s mighty scarce down here, and we iave to catch at straws to fill up on. Any one who knows Dr. Fant knows in to be a two-twenty pounder, and hat our distinguished and worthy Dr. 3en Mayer, Jr., is just the reverse in ize. The latter happened in Spartan- )mrg lately in company with Mrs. ant, and they met at the house of ev. J. B. Campbell. The latter's lit- le soon mistook Dr. Mayer for Dr. ant, and remarked : "Why, Doctor, ow you have zcirrered away." Pretty ood for the young Campbell. It is astonishing how green some >ople are when they first try to talk hrough the telephone. A fellow in his town. after answering one of the offices, didn't know how to "get loose" rom the phone.

Duncan, President, and Col. T. WV. holloway, Secretary, of the State Ag- 'icultural and Mechanical Society, were a the city to-day, payinug off the con- ractor and emp)loyees engaged at vork on the splendid exposition build- .ig of the society, now nearing com- pletion. The building will be one of he largest and handsomest of its kind n the South, and will cost between 3G,000 anud *7,000. It is a matter of great pride to South Carolinians that vhile the societies in other States have railedl to hold their fairs regularly, the society in this State makes its annual fairs better every year, until they are pronoumnced by strangers eqnal to those held in the wealthier Western states. South Carolina is centrally located between Georgia and North Uarolin;a, and as those States have not deld regular annual fairs for some :ime, would it not be well for them to anite with South Carolina and hold a grent Inter-State exposition ?" selfishness. Selfishness Is one of the ugliest traits of character. It Is a pity that so much of It is seen. We would rather be as poor as Job's turkey and be gen- arous and kind, than be rich as Cresus tnd selfish and unkind. A selfish cha- aeater Is despised- by all 'good men, socially, morally or financially. He :hinks only of himself, nothing of neighbor or friend ; he accepts all kinds of favors and returns none. He sares not If you are well or sIck, for whlat matters It If he is well, and his itomach Is full? This Is all he cares nr thinks about. His house is not ded- icated wIth the beautiful motto,. "Wel- some to All," simply because you are not welcome. He would rather have your room tIhan your company. Save as from a selfish man. He is a.blot on the earth, and Is not liked in lis neigh- borhood; In short, he Is unwhiolesome, eind smells bad, and when he dies he will be laid away unlamented and for- gotten. We have no use for a seltioh man. Peterson's Magazine For September opens with a per- fectly Idyllic steel-engraving. "In Arcadia; 'Guess Who It I.-?'" The double-sized fashion-plate is also from steel, colored by hand. Mrs. Lucy H. Hooper is "Peterson's" fashion cor- respondent in. Paris: the only on~e, we believe, who keeps a correspoident there, hence the fasbions are always the latest and most stylish. The Ktories In this number are unusually good, even for "Peterson," andl range from love stories like "Lord Avalhon" to comic ones like "Juba at the Wake," and tragic ones like"Greole Blossoms." Hlow sneh a magazine can be supplied for only two dollars a year, and mnuch less to clubs, is a miracle ; we can onily explain it by its enormous circulation.

Our worthy friend and brother, Me-Sweeny, ia excused for oversght inneckionnledging a tifteen line local tothe HERALD AND NEWS. The reasonfor the~over.ight we suppose is thathis rockets are so filled with candi-dates' fees as to cause mental blind-ness.

The County Democratic CommitteeMet here Tuesday morning. 26th, to

canvass the returns of the PrimaryElection held on the 19th inst. Thefollowing members were present :

the lo(al thinks it an appropriate timeto utttr a few words, or forever here-after1iold his peace. What we havejoined together let no man put asun-der. Men, women and children desiresomething new under the sun. Theyrequire it, and inquire for it, and someacquire the habit so strongly they per-spire in their ef'orts to be first ii find-i<ig out what tr:mnpires. The publicappetite continually craves somethingnew. The uewspli.er editor must digdeep or die. The public appetite is a

big thing. It is insatiable, unquench-able, never-ying. Bit we will digaround in the junrnalistic pasturresgreen and try to find something beforeeverybody else finds it out. And as

variety is the spice of life and brevitythe soul of wit, and originality aboutthe newest thing under the sun, wewill try too to be brief, original and".various."

Much Milk.The American Agriculturist furnishes

an account of a Holstein cow, nowdead, which gave one hundred andthree and one qu:irter pounds of milkin one day-or thirteen gallons. Ofanother, the "Crown Jewel," pureblue blood of Holland, which gaveseventy pounds of milk per day forone month; thirty-four quarts, or eightgallons. She made nineteen poundsof butter in one week. Wonderfulcows, truly.Next Generation.We dislike to publish the following,

but think it only fair that the girls ofthe next generation should know howthe thing is going to work. The girlsof the present period are all right :A Philadelphia magazine makes thestatement that marriage is on the de-erease, and it predicts that every twen-tieth gil of the next generation willbe obliged to live an old maid.

Just One Minute.There has been a slight change,

very slight for this station, in theschedule of the C. & G. R. R. The.train from Columbia passes Newberryat 2-51 p. mi.-one minute earlier thanbefore the laist change. Railroad menare minute men, and railroad.e, liketime and tide, wait for no mani. Somake a niote of this f::et, for many amain ha~s b- ein just one minute too late.and you. reader, may sonic day fail tomake connection and-I-thien you'll beleft. We are right now.

Another $10,000 Damages.The Columbia 1?egister says that Col.

R. C. Watts of Lau:rens states thatpapers have been tiled in the office ofthe Clerk of the Court of LaurensCounty, in the case of Martha ElizaBurdett against Wim. H. Pool, a prom-inient grocery merchaint of Laurens-yille, in whlich th~e plaintifY charges se-duction tinder promise of miarr'age,anid claims damages to the aiouiit of8 0,0 .0. The plain tif1f has recenitlybecome a mother. Sue is representedby Messrs. Ball & Watts. The eseh?ms excite,] deep initerest, atnd Col.Watts says will be a lively trial.

Some Snakes.Rev. A. J. Stokes, of pleasant New-

berry memory, has been doing theState as well as the Chui:ch good ser-vicer. As Presiding Elder of the Sum-ter Distrier, and wvhile oin his rotunds,he killed a huge moceasin, a pot inor-tern examination of the monster bring-ing to light forty young moeeasins,each abont seven inches in len:Shil.They were enclosed in separate sacks,showing that all snakes do not propa-gate by egga. We have heard of achariot drawno by forty grey horses,but never of forty young snakes inthis way. Neverthe*less we do notdloubt the story i.m the least.

Red Hair, Mosquitoes and Bustles.The local editor of the HERALD AND

NEWS stauied out to pick up items.Editorial matter and selections aindclippings he was not after. He was insearch of original, pungent paragraphsfor the people-local news, for localsthey must have, whether anythinghappens or not. The Asiatic choleramay raige and spread, and investiga-tions prove that the Arctic explorersate the flesh of the dead ; France mayput on her wvar paint and pull China'sbig pig-tail and make the heathen rageall samee like Melican m.n ; the anti-Jewish riots may continue in Yeka-tarinosto, Southern Russia, and at-tempts be made to seal up the Germancolony at AngraPequena, in Africa;the relief of Khartoum may perplexand worry others besides the inhabi-tants of Wady HaIfa and Suakimn andKeah and Kasseir and so forth;plague, pestilence and famine, battleand murder may range from the gildedpalaces and Oriental splendour of theEast to the dark jnngles and dirtymud hovels of the far West, where forlong, lost centuries the star of empirehas been taking its course; slanderand scandal may continue to be theleading question in the Presidentialrace and Ben Butler try to get his re-venge in Cleveland's defeat ; anti-pro-hibition may swell one-half of thecountry and spirits dwell in the other,n hile baseball and gnats predomrinatein Newberry, and the heat be strongenough to run the phosphate royaltythroagh the State University into theColumbia Canal; the big injun maywhoop and dance on the wild prairieand k!ck up as much noise as theboys who voted for Sligh, Pope, Schum-pert and Hardy ; the telegraph andcable may continue dlaily to send theelectric fiash of intelligence and floodthe countries with news, circling thehemispheres, as to wvhat is transpiming ;sixty-seven persons may die each1min-ute, while seventy are born, accordingto a European newspaper's calcula-tion ; the earth may quake and oceansroar and stars and planets etigage theastronomer's eye ; all this and more,may go on from day to day, but localnews must be found.

How-ever, wve succeeded In picking up a fewdots, caught on the fly here and there,which can be found in other column;.On our return we came across the in-formation that natural red hair isworth from 818 to $20 per ounce ; thata mosquito always kisses a pretty girlbefore he bites her ; and that a marriedlady heard a young lady say she had eve-ry newspaper in the State in her bustleexcept the Christian Adrocate, andwhen she got idle she just reachedback and pulled out a paper to whileaway the time.P.

The building will be one ofhe largest and handsomest of its kindn the South, and will cost between3G,000 anud *7,000. It is a matter ofgreat pride to South Carolinians thatvhile the societies in other States haverailedl to hold their fairs regularly, thesociety in this State makes its annualfairs better every year, until they arepronoumnced by strangers eqnal tothose held in the wealthier Westernstates. South Carolina is centrallylocated between Georgia and NorthUarolin;a, and as those States have notdeld regular annual fairs for some:ime, would it not be well for them toanite with South Carolina and hold agrent Inter-State exposition?"selfishness.Selfishness Is one of the ugliest

traits of character. It Is a pity that somuch of It is seen. We would ratherbe as poor as Job's turkey and be gen-arous and kind, than be rich as Cresustnd selfish and unkind. A selfish cha-

aeater Is despised- by all 'good men,

socially, morally or financially. He:hinks only of himself, nothing ofneighbor or friend ; he accepts all

kinds of favors and returns none. He

sares not If you are well or sIck, for

whlat matters It If he is well, and his

itomach Is full? This Is all he cares

nr thinks about. His house is not ded-

icated wIth the beautiful motto,. "Wel-

some to All," simply because you arenot welcome. He would rather have

your room tIhan your company. Save

as from a selfish man. He is a.blot onthe earth, and Is not liked in lis neigh-borhood; In short, he Is unwhiolesome,eind smells bad, and when he dies he

will be laid away unlamented and for-gotten. We have no use for a seltiohman.
