Eoreston News.

Willie Hodge, white boy about
ten or twelve years old, died at his
home at Foreston last Monday. AS
he had been pushed off the depot
platform week before by a negro
boy with whom he was playing, it
was thought his death was the result
of this fall, and an inquest was de-
manded. Trial Justice Canty sum-
moned a jury of inquest, and an au-
topsy was held, after which a verdict
of death from natural causes was rem
dered
A case of assault was tried yester-
day at Foreston before Trial Justice
Canty John Wilson, who is about
fourteen years old, was attacked on
the street by Cadet Tom Sparks, who
is a year or two older, and was given
a beating. One of the witnesses also
testified that he saw pair of knucks
in Sparks's possession. As the case
had pretty ugly appearance, the
trial justice fined young Sparks fifty
dollars or thirty days. An appeal
was taken from the decision of the
trial justice. 1t is also said there will
probably be one or two other indict-
ments, one of which will be for car
rying concealed weapons.
Mr.. Hudgins still defies the State to
show better cotton than is made
around Foreston.

DR.. L. W. Nettles, of Foreston, and
DR.. w. N. Brockinton, of Manning,
met yesterday at Mr.. Holladay's
house in consultation about ampu-
tating one or both of her legs. On
examination they found that it would
be necessary to amputate both legs.

lady could not stand the shock, they
decided not to perform the operation.

assembled in the hospitable parlor of MIR.
J. j. Bragdon, who, with the genial Mrs.
Bragdon, understands perfectly the art OF
making young people happy.
Such an array OF beauty is seldom found
in any room. The ladies, radient in smiles,
frightened the 'tout-ensemble" with the
splendor of their eyes. We will attempt q
description of some of the dresses and jew
els worn on the occasion.
Conspicuous in black satin trimmed with
white lace, was the sparkling and viyacious

cluster of fuschias in her hair, opals.
Miss Pauline Drose wore quiet silver
grey silk with heavy spray of crimson
roses, rubies.
Misses Daisy Bragdon and Olive Hudgins
wore plain white and flowers.
The gentlemen were in full evening suits
of drap d'ete, and looked very handsome.
Cadets Sparks, Of Davis College, n. c., and
Cannon, Of Porter Academy, Charleston,
sandwitched the black suits with their uni
forms.
It was an evening of rarest pleasure.
II We were a marrying man Foreston is
the place we would choose wife. But,
alas, our heart is destined to die a thousand
deaths under the torture of feminine cruel
