Helena HeraldingS.

Miss Mary Mccoy, Of Columbia, paid
q brief visit to her friends here last
week.
Miss Sallie Frits, Of Winnsboro, is
visiting friends in the village.
Capt. Godsey, supervisor c. & G. R.

The attendance at the Sunday-Gchool
on the afternoon Of the 4th instant was
very large. The Sunday-school, when
it does not transcend its legitimate du-
ties, is an incalculable blessing TO the
children. 1t is not enough that they
attend the Sabbath-school. They should
likewise attend divine service once
every Lords day. The reasons are OBJ
viouS.
The beauty of the October days
which passed a. ~ so quietly, still
fingers with us. C!oudless skies and
balmy weather, bright mornings and
tranquil evenings have been favored US
by kind nature. She is compensating
us for the rough treatment Of the
August-September weather. That royal
weed, the golden rod, has nearly disap-
peared, the bee-aster, now fringing the
woodlands, will soon follow, but the
chrysanthemum will remain, of all the
family of flowers, to teach us the lesson
of "patient waiting''-so much needed
by us ALL The prayer Of our people for
prolonged fall season has been heard.
November and no killing frost. Nege-
cation is yet green and the cotton fields
are white We should go forward both
gratefully and hopeful.

very few ordered paid. Payment Of taxes
has been very slow this fall, and very
little money is on hand.

THE ELECTION IN THE COUNTY.

The election on Tuesday in this
county passed off very quietly. Very
few negroes turned out to the polls and
the day wore the appearance of a half
holiday. There was no Republican
ticket out except the ticket for presi-
dental elector;, for Harrison and Nor
ton and also few tickets for the prohi-
bition electors although we believe
only one ballot was cast for this ticket
in the county. We give herewith the
total vote given each candidate voted
for. These figures are not official, but
We think they will be found approxi-
mately correct.
There was only one county ticket in
the field, though in some cases there
was some scratching and at Prosperity,
jolly Street, Pomaria and Walton
there were a good many votes cast for
Mr.. J. \. Sigh for the Senate, although
he was not candidate. There was a
very fair Democratic vote for this
county. At Newberry there were q
few votes for Lawrence Jones for Con-
gress in opposition to Hon. J. S. Goth
ticket was voted almost solidly. Col.
ran. At other precincts the county
Schumpert received a solid vote for
Solicitor. The Amendment to the Con-
stitution in reference to the School
Commissioner is lost by 1900 majority
while the amendment in reference to
change in term of office Of Probate
Judge is carried by 1908 majority.

Care Of the Eyes.

The Turks regularly cut open the outer
corner OF the eyelids, il the eyes of girl are
not large enough for their ideas of beauty.
and inferior eyes can be gradually enlarged
by gently drawing the lids apart, day after
day, and battling them in cool soft water.
The stronger the eye the larger it will seem,
for the first instinct Of weak eyes is to con.
tract and span themselves from light. Amer.
