The raising of that commission to investigate the recent conditions of the camps at Chickamauga and else where, seems to be greater prob lem for President Mckinley to solve than the raising ofs a volunteer army Gen. ". H. Jackson, of Nashville, Tenn. is the latest army officer to wire to the president that pressing private business compels him to decline the honor of an ap- pointment on the commission. Sec retary Alger is making his investi- gation, now that the larger camps are deserted, and the commission will likely begin its labors about thestime the entire army is disband- ed and the officers resposible for the conditions are out of the service.

Last Sunday night, at 9.15, at the
home of the bride in the southwest
section of the city, County Superin-
tendent of Education w. F. Macarthur
and Mrs. Agnes Scott were united in
the holy bonds of matrimouy, Rev. L.
NJ. Dent, of the First Methodist church,
officiating. The wedding took place in
the presence of a few intimate friends
and relatives of the contracting par
ties. The bride was attired in be-
coming suit of gray material, while
the groom wore the customary black.
Immediately after the ceremony Prof.
and Mrs. Macarthur were driven to
the home of the groom on Race street,
where they were received by num-
ber of their friends. The evening was
most pleasantly spent and it was quite
late when the guest took their de-
parture. ION September 29th, the
daughter of Mr.. William Mullinax,
of the Kings Creek neighborhood,
started from her home to a neighbor's
house. She had not gone far when
she met bench legged flee in the road
that displayed evidences of hydropho-
bia. She started back to the house
and was pursued by the dog, which
chased her about 400 yards. Just as
she entered the door the dog reached
the steps. Messrs. Mullinax, Riley
Mcdaniel, Noah Wisher, and VIM.
Manning went in pursuit of the dog.
The canine was killed as he attempted
to cross Kings creek. .'''''''''Tuesday
morning Misses Birdie and Pearl Craw-
lev drove down to Limestone in their
cart. They had nearly reached the
college when the dummy came along.
The pony attached to the cart became
frightened and ran, throwing the oc-
cupants out. Pearl was quite severely
hurt about the head. Birdie escaped
unhurt. These little girls are two OF
the brightest little ladies in the city
and their many friends will be pleased
to learn that the accident was not
more serious.

Chester is the best county in the state,

of pride to show her superiority. The
state fair has become popular place
for Carolinians to meet and mingle to-
gether. Chester should continue to be
the banner county.

The HUSBANDS NAME.-The prac'
tice of a woman changing her name
on marriage originated from Roman
custom and came into use after the
Roman occupation. Thus, Julia and
Octavia, married to Pompey and Cice'
70, were called by the Romans Julia oi
Pompey, Octavia of Cicero, and in later
times women in most European coun'
tries signed their names in the same
way, but omitted the "of." On the
other hand, at the beginning of the
seventeenth century, the usage seems
doubtful, since we find Catherine Parr
so signing herself after she had been
twice married, and we always hear Of
Lady Jane Grey (not Dudley) and
Arabella Stuart (not SeymouD etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teach
ing that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
as Bracton, and it was decided in the
case of Bon vs.. Smith in the reign of
Elizabeth that a woman by marriage
loses her former name, and legally re-
ceives the name of her husband. Fhe
custom, however, is not universal. In
Spain and Portugal married women
do not take the names of their hus.
bands, but continue to be known by
their own. In many parts OF the
United States a woman never relin-
quishes her maiden name, and is called
by it as often as by that of her hus-
band. Even in the rural parts OF
England one often finds a married
woman called by her maiden name,
and in country districts of Scotland it
is sometimes found that both names
are used. In many parts of France
and Belgium the husbands and wite's
names are used together when either
of them is used.

HORSE INTELLIGENCE.-W the
army mule is almost invariably more
intelligent than he is suspected OF
being, the horse occasionally exhibits
unexpected aptitudes, as Col. Roose-
velt found out day or two ago. The
colonel, with a number of the Rough
Riders, bad been training the horses
to lie down at signal given by a GER
tain pressure and a certain twist to the
reins. At first Colonel Roosevelt's
horse didn't quite catch the idea, but
it soon learned and it didn't forget.
Shortly after the lesson, the colonel
rode back to his tent, where he found
number of friends waiting for him.
Before he had time to dismount they
came up and began talking to him on
some subject in which he was much
interested. Now, it is characteristic
of the famous soldier that when be
becomes interested in subject, it en-
crosses his entire attention. AS be
talked he began to make gestures and
to move in his saddle. Presently he
chanced upon a combination of move
ment and gesture that meant more to
his horse than to his hearers. That
intelligent animal began to give way
under him, sank slowly down and left
the animated speaker stranded in the
midst of sentence, with both feet on
the ground, straddled we'll apart, and
prostrate horse between them. In a
moment his was the picture of amaze
ment. Then he remembered, spoke to
the horse, which got up, and resumed
the conversation, remarking that the
animal didn't seem to be feeling well.-
