Other of His Works.
The subject of this sketch. Osborne
Wells, ("Uncle Os"), was born in Lin- of
1 coin county, N. C., in the year 1831, he
and came to Newberry county during it
) the year 1854, where he employed him- st<
- self as a builder in various portions of pr
the county. It is, however, of those pub- th,
lic works, which stand as a monument be
to his craftmanship, that it is desired th,
to speak. Prominent among them was
5 the old Newberry college, which stood Di
- in the northern portion of the town, Cc
on the site of the present Smeltzer ce
- hall, which was built on the same an
foundations, and which was for a long su
time the main college building, and ab
- is now used as a dormitory. It was
an imposing building, built in the
. shape of a cross, three stories high,]
t of heavy masonry. The old Fair resi- R

IThe Newberry hotel and opera F{
house are two more additions to the
business and pleasn.re of the town,
-and not the least of Mr. Wells' work
tis the evidence of ante-bellum spirit
- as shown by the eagle, palmetto, and
3 game cock that say to the world, that,
t though defeated, the South is proud
3 of the fight she made.
Mr. Wells was a member of Ker
. shaw's brigade during 1861 and 1862.
After the battle of Sharpsburg he was!
transfer red to the commissary de
partment, where he served to the close
of the war...
He was married during the year
1864 to Miss Cornelia Thompson D]
Schumpert, a daughter of one of New-!
berry county's most staunch families.
Mr. Wells has a daguerreotype*
showing the college as he originally
built it. On the other side is the
Sphotograph of Mr. Wells reproduced
above. The Herald and News tried to
secure a cut of the college also, but

TOTING FOR MAGISTRATES.
iling by County Chairman Dominiek
Covering Case Where Vote is Cast
in Another Township.
The question has been asked as to
ting for magistrates in the respec
'e townships, as to what magistrate
can vote for in case the voter re
les in one township and his name
enrolled on a Democratic e!ub list
another township. My ruling is,
at the voter will vote and only be
[owed to vote for the office of mag
rate in the township in which he
sides, in which case, the managers
.11 tabulate the vote in the same
inner as other offices. In other
)rds, if a voter resides in Numbor
township, but belongs to a Demo
atic club in Number 9 township,
ien he comes to vote for magistrate,
must vote for one of the candidates
)m Number 10 township, and the
inagers of said precinct will report
e vote for the candidates of Num
r 10, as well as the candidates from
imber 9. . .,
