Highest He Has Ever Seen.S
Mr.. T. G. Culp writes that the "big
river" of Sunday and Monday was the
highest he has seen in 45 years. He
went to the public bridge on Monday
and found everything all right except
slight damage to the abutments. The
expense of repairing the damage will
be small.
Damage by Sand.
The damage that has been occasioned
by sand that has been washed over
bottom lands by the recent freshets, is
difficult to estimate. Along many Of
the creeks, where the land had been
freshly plowed, the top soil has been
removed to the hard earth below, and
where there had been no plowing, a
layer of sand has done no end of dam
age. The loss to the farmers generally
foot up many thousands of dollars.
Cattle and Pigs.
Although it will be quite a while yet
before he will have his abstract ready,
Auditor Williams has done a great deal
of work on the returns taken during
January and February. He notices
that there is quite falling off in the
number of cattle and hogs returned as
compared with last year. 1t is not
practicable yet to furnish figures upon
which to base even an approximate eS-
innate of the difference; but the figures

Marriage at Hopkins.
Columbia State, Thursday: At 6
o'clock yesterday evening, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. James Hopkins at Hop
kins in this county, there was beau
tiful home wedding, that of his charm
ing and talented daughter Miss Emma,
and Mr.. Hope Whyte, of Gastonia N.
c.. There was a large party Of friends
of the young people present, and the
occasion was happy one. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. w. n.
Tillinghast, the beautiful Episcopal SER
vice being used. Mr.. J. NJ. Smith, Of
Glover, was the best man, and Miss
Mary Hopkins was the maid of honor.
The other couple in waiting was Mr..
T. L. CASTOR, of Chester, and Miss Lula
Boykin, of Camden.
The Cold Snap.
SAYS a Charleston dispatch of Tues
day: The cold wave has apparently not
affected the cotton crop in Greenwood
Spartanburg and other counties of the
Piedmont, because what seed had been
planted was not yet up, but dlsas-
trous results are reported from some
sections of the low country In Hamp-
ton county, which is very near the
coast, vegetables, fruit, corn and es-
pecially cotton, have been seriously
damaged if not destroyed. Many farm
ers are now plowing up their cotton

me CaDihet "IllnSs
Says a Washington dispatch Of Tues
day: By request of Senator McLaurin,
the cabinet today discussed the ques-
ton Of loaning to the Charleston expo
sition the exhibits to be made by the
government at Buffalo. All Of the cab
met officers desired to permit this loan,
and it was agreed that the loans should
be made if there is no provision Of law
against it. The Charleston exposition
will pay the expenses of the exhibit,
and the government will do nothing but
make the loan. The president and cab
met were glad to do this much for
Charleston, which failed Of any provis-
ion for it's exposition during the closing
hours of congress.
South Carolina Appointments.
The secretary of war, on last We'd
nesday, announced the names of 5SS
men who have been selected for ap-
pointment as first and second lieuten-
ants in the regular army. Of these
eight are from South Carolina, as fol-
lows: Thaddeus 3. Seigle, Lawrence S.
Carson, Clarence S. NettleS, Joseph L..
Hardin, Edmond r. Tompkins, Will
liam P. Crawford. Nettles is from Dar-
lington, Carson from Sumter, Hardin
and Crawford from Chester, Tompkins
from Hook Hill, and Seigle can proba-
bly, be more properly credited to Char
lotte, n. c. All of these officers have
served in the Spanish war or are now
serving in the Philippines. There are
still two places to be filled by South
>Carolinians.
No Pensions For Negroes.
Columbia State, Wednesday: The
state board of pensions, which has been
in session since Monday, will complete
the work today and the apportionment
of the pension fund will then be made.
The board has had since Monday to go
over and carefully pass upon some 500
or more applications that had to be
sent back for revision after the last
session. These were all gone over and
the tabulated statement will be forth
coming by II o'clock today. The board
yesterday had to face the proposition
as to the applications from the Negroes,
each being endorsed by good Confeder-
ate soldiers. The applications came
from John Mitchell of Greenwood, Eli
Sha Buchanan, of Chester, and Alex
Orr, Of Hampton. The board, after
carefully going over. the facts in the
cases, refused to put the applicants up
on the list The action is thus express
ed in the minutes: "An examination of
the rolls in the adjutant and inspector
generals office of the respective COM
panies of which they claim to be men,
bers, reveals the fact that these names
are not among the regular enrolled SOL
diers of these companies and for this
reason the state board has disapproved
them"

The disastrous flood in the Chic val
ley continues, the river being at stage
that is almost unprecedented. On We'd
nesday, the water was IS feet high at
Cincinnati and was doing lots Of dam
age to the warehouses, factories and
tenements along the river front. Great
loss was also being sustained at Louis
willie and other cities along the river
and farmers in the bottoms were also
suffering.

Mr.. G.. o. Shields, president of the
League of American Sportsmen, thinks
that women are endowed with lots OF
scod sense. In a lecture before Prom
inent woman's club in the West, he
said.
There is abundant reason to con-
cratulate the women OF this country
on tEeir good sense. When their at
tention was called to the needless and
heartless destruction of bird life which
was being perpetrated in order to
crafty their love of beautiful raiment,
thousands OF them stopped wearing
birds ON their hats. 1t is safe to say
that five per cent. of the twenty
thousand women who belong to the
Audubon societies to-day were form
erly patrons of the bird millinery traf-
fic. They had not before stopped to
think of the wrong that was being
done as a result of their patronage, but
when their attention was called to it
they were as ready to discard the sin
ful ornaments us they always are to
join in any good movement"

L'Art Nouvenu.

Since the Exposition in Paris there
have been many illusions in the daily
press to "L'Art NOuyeau." or the new
art, and the striking exhibit made by
its expounders; but 1t is doubtful If one
in ten of the reporters, who helped to
spread its fame, understood in what
l. consisted or wherein IL differed
from art. In studying an exhibit of
Fart nouveau, whether applied to
furniture. fabrics, or objects OF house
hold decoration, two elements are at
once Internationally and unrest;
and two prominent faults are noted
TACT Of proportion or scale and u GER
Of the various parts whose union pro-
duces the total effect, and in a confu-
sion of treatment, that which Is prop
er to one material being applied to
another without proper alteration.
This new art declares itself based upon
principles Of natural growth and col
orlng. but these laws are continually
violated by the curves introduced into
nearly every design. Indeed, the
curves most commonly met do not at
all suggest vigorous plant bursting
into life in the spring, but rather sap
less and withered forms Of dead yege-
tation.
Lart nOuyeau has not become fad
In this country. even with the smart
set that is always seeking novelty The
comparatively few examples OF Il that
appeared in the fashionable decora-
tors shops have mad slow sales. Nor
have the hanglngs or ceilings and mu-
raj decorations been received with any
greater favor. This seems rather
strange when we remember the attrac-
tlon that the novel and the bizarre has

Summer Draperies.

Half the charm of a room depends
upon the arrangement of its draperies
The most satisfactory curtains in
houses occupied by persons of moder-
ate means are those of fine white bob
binet. as they launder well. drape
gracefully and wear long time. The
straight. looped-curtains are seldom
seen in these days of artistic origin
ality. Linen or silk shades, tinted to
suit the furnishing of the room, are
put up over the windows, and then the
curtains are gathered on the rods and
draped obllquely from one side of each
window to the other. Simplicity pre-
walls in their arrangement. The thin
curtains over the colored shades sug-
gest pillows of mist or feathery bits
of cloud These curtains are more
ornamental than the embroidered lace
curtains because they are soft and can
be gathered into many graceful drap-
iDGs.
Insertions of lace and frills edged
with lace make the draperies as rich
as the taste or means OF the house
holder may dictate. They are espec-
tally pretty in bedrooms, sitting rooms
and dining rooms, where light and
airy aspect is particularly appreciated.
The finest Swiss applique on net
makes a handsome curtain which is
much in favor at the present time.
Saxon lace and French appliques are
also lar.-Jacksonville Times.
