Peace and Plenty.

EDIToR THE BAMBERG HERALD: The
relatives and friends of Mr.. Charley
RentZ assembled at his home on the 23rd,
of August to celebrate with him his oOth.
birthday. SiXty-onc children under the
are of - years: 80 boys and 23 girls !!
Mr. Charley had the pleasure of OF seeing
all his children and grandchildren, his
sisters and their children, at the birthday
dinner, 46 in all.
Mr. RentZ is farmer in the lower part
of Bamberg county. He runs a three
horse farm or has it run. His neighbor
said that he could clear Charley from Sit
ting in the shade of the trees that stood
in the field, but he could not clear Charley
from Icing under them. Mr.. Charley
does not look to be over thirty or thirty
five years old. While he has been provld-
ing for his family, he has been taking
care of Charley. About one o'clock the
table was sc with the dainties Of the day.
| do not think any one could stand and
look upon the table and the gaiety of the
crowd and say hard times and worse
coming, but would be constrained to say
we have seen the day Of peace and plenty.
After dinner Rev. Charley Walker pre-
sented Mr.. RentZ with bible. The gift
may seem very small, but | think that is
q Gift where much is contained in q little
lbOok.) May Mr.. Rentz, instead of Icing
in the shade, remember that he is on the
declining age; others soon will be. The
next fifty years where will he be? 3.

New HAMPSHIRE Girl Jockey.

The other day little Carrie Straw sur
prised the attendants at the races at Con-
cord, N. H., by driving the trotting horse
Jim Crow over mile track in the excel
lent time of 233 IA, breaking his preyi-
Gus record of 2-40.
Miss Straw is probably the youngest
girl who ever drove horse on track,
for she is only 13. She has been accus-
toned to horses since her childhood. Her
father owns some very good horses and
is proud of his daughters skill, but her
mother, who is social leader in Concord,
doesn't approve Of the child's horsey
tastes.
jim Crow is a spirited and powerful
trotter belonging to City Marshal Locke,
of Concord, who owns several animals in
training He and Carrie are great friends.
One day when she asked permission to
drive jim Crow Locke hesitated and then
said: "He pulls like bull and he goes
like the wind, but if you want to try him
you may"
She insisted on driving alone. Mr..
Locke consented. On the road she met
her father and challenged him to race,
which she won. Locke was elated by
her victory and taught her how to drive
a race horse and offered her the privilege
of guiding Jim Crow over the WanOlan-
Get track when he would speed against
his record.
There was a great crowd when Carrie
was called out of the grandstand TO sit in
the speeding wagon. She logged the
trotter around the track, and then, paced
by one of the judges behind Joe D., he
nodded for the word.
Without skip she guided Jim Crow
around the track and in the stretch she
urged him to his best without carrying
him off his feet, making the last quarter
in 81 seconds.

In Memory OF Ella Zeisler.

On the morning of August IS, 1902, just
as the rosy blush ofmorning was speaking
into existence the day, and the king of
day was rising from the Eastern horizon,
flooding the earth with efiiuence and
beauty, the gentle spirit of Ella Zeigler
bade farewell to earthly scenes and went
to be with her God. She was the third
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Dannelly
and wife of Ephraim Zeigler. She was
married December 25 1902, but mysteri-
Gus providence decreed hers should be a
very short married life In the pathway
of Ephraim this sweet girl walked while
vet the flowers of youth bent their dewy
lips to kiss their feet, and all the clouds
of life's rosy morning were turned into
gold by the alchemy of youthful hope and
youthful romance. Soon their souls were
knit together in friendship and love SO
strong that time, separation, and not
even death can sever. But God knows
what keys in the human soul to touch in
order to draw out it's sweeter and most
perfect harmonies. God knows where
themelodies of nature are and what discip-
line will bring them forth. Look up. dear
husband; you will find mirrowed in the
ueaI OaFlOI ; eyes Iue great lOFe anu
sympathy. In your home this fower-like
girl will be sadly missed; her sweet face
is absent, her gentle voice is still, Death
has snatched from hope all the glowing
brushes with which you had painted the
future but as the stars shine brightest
when night wraps her curtain thickest
round the earth, even so Jesus, our Light,
shines brightest to guide, sustain, and
comfort when sore trials and Affections
come upon us You sat by the couch of
your loved one while faithful physicians
ministered unto her, and fond parents,
brothers, and sisters, waited anxiously
with the persistent hope that health would
come to the cheeks and brightness to the
eyes again. But, alas it was transient
ray and the dark gloom of affections
night was cast upon your bowed head.
But we mourn not rs those who have no
hope: For precious in the sight of the
Lord are the death Of his saints" Mourn
not, dear father and mother, for this dear
child, for she has dipped her wings in the
dews of Heaven and scared above the
storms of life. She has passed through
the pearly gates into the holy city.
A FRIEND.

McLaurin May Run Again.

1t was published in the State recently
that the people of Grcenvilc are looking
for Senator McLaurin to make his home
in that city. The Benncttsvillc cOrrespon-
dent of the State says in regard to this
matter:
Senator McLaurin is here, but says he
will leave for the north in q few days.
He has been in consultation with his for
mer law partners, Judge c. P. Townsend
and Col. Tom e. Hamer, several times
this week and it is rumored that he in
tends to return to Bennettsville and re-
sumo the practice of law. When asked
about the report that he intended to settle
III Greenville the senator said that be had
not decided upon any definite plans. 1t
is thought here that Senator McLaurin
intends to settle down somewhere in the
state and wait for an opportune time to
re-enter politics-perhaps to run against

Where Politicians TO.

Man that is born of woman is small po-
tatoes and few in hill. In infancy he
is full of collie and catnip tea, and in old
age he is full of cuss words and rheuma-
tism. In youth his mother taketh him
across her knee and swectens his life
with her slipper, and when he is a man
grown the sheriff pursueth him all the
days of his life. He spreadeth like a bay
tree. He getteth into office, and his friends
cling to him like flies to sugar barrel.
He swelleth with vanity ard cutteth ice
for awhile, but he is hewed down at
the next primary and is cast into the
salt box, and his name is Dennis. Out
of office and out of friends he soon gets
busted, and lieth down in the COW pasture
beside the still water of the brook. He
,lieth out of the world and goeth where
it is warm enough without clothes. The
last end of that man is worse than the

A Young Lady's Requirements.

An exchange las the following as a
young lady's requirements Of her sweet
heart:
If you smoke the cigarette,
You cannot kiss me, you can bet.
Just chew or smoke or cut deck,
And you will never bite my neck.
If aught but water you ever taste,
Just keep your arm from round my waist.
Drink beer, waiskey or any such slop,
And you'll never hear my corset pop.
Now, if any of these you disregard,
You cannot play in my back yard.
Were the above requirements strictly
adhered to, it is probable that no young
man would be accorded the privilege OF
playing in this young lady's" back yard"

CiemsOn's New President.

ANDERSON, Aug 30'-Col. r W. Simp-
son, chairman of the board OF trustees of
Clemson college, telephoning tonight,
says that Dr. 2. H. Nell, who was to-day
elected president of the college, is native
of Georgia, but has been connected with
the Alabama Polytechnic institute at Au-
burn for the past 20 years. He was most
highly recommended to the trustees and
every member Of the board feels that the
right selection has been made. The
names of a number of other gentlemen
were presented to the trustees but after
careful deliberation Or. Nell was chosen.
DR.. Nell is 50 years old and is a member
of the Baptist church. He is distin-
guished educator and is said to possess in
high degree the qualities that were de-
sired in president for Clemson. 1t is
understood that he will accept the position
and will come to Clemson at once in time
to be present at the opening. The college
opens Sept 10 and Col. Simpson says the
prospects are very bright for the next
session and that the barracks will be filled
with students

The Milk Was Too Rich.

On one of the great stock farms near
Galesburg, Mich, pretty little Jersey
calf has come to an untimely end in a
most unusual way. The beautiful little
creature had been kept for some time and
it was thought advisable to let it run
about and amuse itself for an hour or two
After it had enjoyed an unusually hearty
breakfast of rich Jersey milk it was
turned loose. There was great kicking
and running for a few minutes, and then
suddenly the calf keeled over and died
When veterinary sought to ascertain
the cause of the valuable little animals
death he discovered that the violence of
its gamboling had converted the milk in
to butter and death from indigestion had
quickly ensued. 1t is also evident and
no autopsy is needed to develop that fact
that they have some very able liars in
the neighborhood of Galesburg, Mich.

Not Altogether Pleasant.

One of the rural correspondents of the
Whitsctt Courier sends in this affecting
story, in his OWE original way:
81 write to tell you of 4 most onfor-
tunit happenin wich occurred heir en-
during the occasion of 4 campmcctin at
wich tharc was fine prcechin and good
eaten, as all bros baskets wich was filled
with the best cookin. The onfortunit
happenin was sunstrokes an one light
nin-killin, also one fine mule drowned
in crick, with the saddle on him, wich
was never found, tho it cost $40, and was
not payed for-that is, in full, bein one
installmen dew on it. Alsoe, one rattle
snake bittin, wich proved fatal, as both
the snake an the niggar died, as might
say, at one an the same time. D let US all
be reddy KNOWN not the day or the hour
when lightning will hit US out of a clear
sky, an rattlesnakes strike us without
rattlin to let us know they'r comm. Let
us live umblc, as l have said, an be reddy."
