THERE MUST BE MISTAKE.
No VaUl Has Been Extended by tho
Lutheran Church of the Redeem
er to Mr. Freed.
Rev. 0. A. Freed, pastor of th4
Ebenezer Lutheran church, has re
ceived a very urgent call to accep
the pastorate of the Lutheran Churc
of the Redeemer at Newberry. Mr
Freed has been the pastor of Ebe
nezer Lutheran church for about .si:
years and his congregation is urging
him to remain. The Lutheran ehurel
at Newberry has been without s
pastor for some time, Rev. W. L. Sea
brook resigning last February. Thf
members are anxious for Mr. Freed
to accept. The church is one of th(
strongest in Newberry an*d also rank;
high in the denomination.
Mr. Freed will decide in a few day,
-as to whether or not he will accep1
the call. In addition to his pastora
work he was connected with The Lu.
theran Church Visitor for severa
years, acting as business manager un
til the synod took charge of the pa
per. Mr. Freed, though a very young
minister at the time, was presideni
of the Lutheran synod of Virginia.

the co'nil. We have made inquira
fromn members of the council, ani
'they have not- yet made any nomina

Newberry, also paid loving tribute

Fires In Saluda.
Corinth school house,, in Saluda
mconty, was burned Wednesday night.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but as school was not in session, many
think it was the act of an incendiary.
The building was comparatively new
and a credit to the people of the dis
trict.
The residence on the Culbreath
place in Saluda county was destroyed
by fire the latter part of la:st week.
No one was residing in the house, and
there is no evidence as to the cause of
the burning. However, some people
attribute it to the carelessness of
negroes who were thought to gather
there for gambling. The building wa~
erected nearly a hundred years ago.
Mr. 13uck Culbreath lived there for
many years, and in this house was

THE HOSPITAL MOVEMENT.
e Prospects Seems Bright-Citizens
Meeting Decided to B uild-Com
mittee to Raise Ca Stock.
L The prospect for a hospital at New
- berry now seems to be very encourag
ing. The matter has been agitated
here for some time and a special com
mittee from the Chamber of Com
f merce was appointed some weeks ago
to look into the matter and secure 1
information as to the cost and the ]
1, best plan to be adopted for a town
of this size. That committee made a
very full and exhaustive report and
a suggested that the best plan was by
the organization of a joint stock com
1 pany, the purpose of the company not
- being to make money, but to invest
money rather for humanitarian pur- 1
- poses. It was suggested that the.
company be organized with a capi- 1
I tal stock of $15,000, divided into six!.
bundred shares of the par value of
$25 each.
At the meeting Monday night it was
decided to' adopt this plan and the
committee, which has been in charge
(-fit, was instructed to proceed with
the raising of the stock and to act as 3
corporators and to secure the charter.
To this committee was added all of
the physicians of this county, who are
asked to cooperate, the purpose be
ing to make it a county institution.
i-The attendance upon the meeting Mon- i
day night was small, but $1200 of the
capital stock was subscribed by those t
present. The indications are that the i
stock will be secured without any Z
difficulty and that the hospital will I
be-built. t

Pasted in Old Book. t
We take pleasure in inserting the t
following letter together with the t
copy of the prayer, which Mr. Werts a
kindly sends to The Herald and News.
We are sure that it will be read with j

The first chaplqin of the American

the following words constitute the
'first prayer offered in our national

throne behold all the dwellers on
earth, and reigneth with power su

down in mercy, we beseech thee, on
these American states,' who have
fled to thee from the rod of the op
pressor, and thrown themselves on
thy graeious protection, desiring to
be henceforth dependent only on thee. 'I
To thee they hiave appealed for the t
righteousness of their cause; to thee

Father, under thy ministering care;
give them wisdom in council and valor
in the field; defeat the malicious de- ti
signs of our cruel adversaries; con-p
vince them of the unrighteousness of tF
their cause; and, if they still persist t1
in their sangiunary purpose, oh, let 2
the voice of thine own unerring jus- I

strain them to drop the weapons of

health of their bodies and the vigor of
their minds.

-Blow May Prove Fa
tal.
On Monday afternoon in the city
Newberry Harry Wilson struck Ed.
Rutherford in the head and inflicted
a very serious wound. The parties

Wilson claims that he had strong
evidence that Rutherford was inter

relations and he acknowledges the as
sault and if there should be legal pro
ceeding-s will throw himself under
the protection of the higher law as
justification of his act.
He was arrested by Chief of Police

ing in Newberry and the mayor im
posed a minimum fine of one dollar.
It was reported yesterday that

making no effort to eseape.
