TWO DANCES AT THE rlARION.

Christmas gaieties have been
coming "fast and furious" for sew
eral days, but they have dwindled
into their usual tameness when
compared TO tho opening Xmas
ball, which was pulled off at the
Marion on the night of the Goth.
On that occasion there was an as.
sem bling Of tho elite maids and
handsome Swains, which has ever
maintained an unbeaten record for
beauty, grace and gallantry. The
young ladies were perhaps more
beautiful on this occasion than
ever before, and the handsome
beaux were faultlessIy attircd and
gallant to degree which sent
many rosy hue to the cheeks of
the fair maids as cupid's darts were
buried deep In tender hearts.
The music was good, the floor
in splendid condition, and as the
sweet strains were waited through
The corridors and staircase, the
dancers whirled themselves "into
the thicl<est of the fray" and the
JOY was really Intoxicating. Those
present were: Miss Norma Roll.

about 40 years old. killed two OF her
children by cutting their heads on
with an axe. One OF the children was
5 years old and the other 3. 1t Is
said their heads was severed complete
" from the body, not a nerve or vein
Or anything left to connect them.
The body OF the older child was cut
in other places, showing that the r a
zed mother met with some resistance
in killing this one. Both children
were girls. 1t seems that an enort
was made to burn them after the
bloody work Of the X for a fire had
been kindled around the body OF the
younger child. The woman was COM

August 10th. had a mean temperature
Of so degrees, which is also the nor
nal for the week. There was no eX-

storms occurred in Pickens. G~reenville,

Frequent showers occurred. especial
" in the central, with weekly
amounts, ranging from nearly three
inches to trace in a few places. In
York county and parts Of adjoining
ones the need Of rain is seriously felt,
and rain Is also needed in parts OF
Orangcburg, Berkeley, Williamsburg.
Colleton and Hampton counties, and in
parts of the extreme western ones. In
parts OF Greenville. Saluda and Fair
field counties there were heavy
local rains that washed lands
badly, and flooded bottom lands. With
the exceptions just noted the moisture
conditions were favorable.
There was a marked improvement IN
ell crops where sufficient rain fell.
The exceptions include but a compare
lively small part of the State where 1t
has been too dry for the best develop

but the staple crops show some

is stated that the speeches were in

An Important Case.

An important ruling has been hand
ed down regarding collection Of excess
fare on railroads in South Carolina.
Formerly a passenger boarding a train
without a ticket was charged % cents
additional, which, however. was re-
funded to him on presentation of the
cash fare receipt at the point OF destl-
nation. The railroad commission
claims this amount brings the fare
above the rate allowed by the State.
and consequently its collection is IN
violation of the law. regardless OF the
refunding Of it. The outcome OF the
matter will be watched with interest.

Weakness and Strength.

It becomes us to know our weakness
as we'll as our strength. The man who
feels that he can do more than ne has
the strength to do often fails. 60 We see
the necessity of preparing ourselves in our
special weaknesses. In order to accom-
plish anything in life we must exert our
strength, but we must not overestimate 1t.
We must be true to ourselves to accom-
plish all the tasks before us.-The Rev. q.
