Death of Mr.. r. T.. Hart.

Our town was shocked on Monday
morning by the intelligence of the
death of Mr.. Rubert L Hart, brother
of Messrs. j. E. and A. G. Hart, at his
home two miles west Of Johnston on
Sunday evening last. Mrs. Hart was
visiting relatives at Batesburg and
MIR. Hart was at home alone. While
sitting before the fire about one o'clock
in the afternoon he fell asleep and
when he awoke he found that his cloth
ing was on fire. lie r, out and called
to negro near by for assistance but
before the flames could be extinguish-
ed he was so severely burned that
death resulted during the night.

is greatly daplored by his friends over
the county. Mr.. Hart was an energetic
young farmer whose close application
to business together with the sound
judgment which he always exercised
brought him very satisfactory returns
from his labors.
The deceased was reared in the Meet.

OF Stevens Creek church. His mortal
remains were laid to rest in the ceme-
terry at Johnston on Mon day afternoon,

Telephone Exchange Changes

Telephone Exchange Changes
Hands.
The Bell Telephone company has
absorbed the South Carolina Long
Distance telephone company, the
latter of which having been the
owners Of the local exchange.
What fleet, if any, it will have
upon the Edge6eld exchange can
not yet be told. Generally speak
ing, it is advantageous to tho pub
lie to have two competing concerns
seeking patronage than to be at
the mercy of one who holds a
monopoly. So far as our observa-
ton goes the Bell people are liberal
in their dealings and doubtless the
affairs of the local exchange will
in future be conducted in az salts
factory manner as in the past.
Heretofore long distant connec-
tions could be had from two ex-
changes in Edgefeld-Lynch's
store and central" 1t is not pro-
bable that both lines will be in
operation in future. No change
has been announced, however.

A Beautiful Christmas Tree.

No happier assemblage has ever
been seen in Edgefeld than that
which gathered at the mill chapel
on Friday evening last, the oeca-
sion being the distribution of gifts
from the Christmas tree that had
heen prepared BY the officers and
teachers of the. union Sunday
school: The building was brilliant
:ly lighted and we'll heated, conse-
no physical discomfort de-
tracted FROM the pleasure of any,
one; "A we'll pr >portioned holly
tree had been made fast to the
platform in one end of the room
and the natural beauty Of the tree
was enhanced by The brilliant or
naments and: 3estooning of silver
spray aud cord which. glistened in
the light of the multi-color-
ed wax tapers. The tree upon
which all eyeswe fixed was furihsr
adorned by nearly ahundred beau
tiful presents of all sorts, sizes.
colors, and in addition tn the pre-
sents was pink bag of confections
for each scholar, which was also
tiled to the branches of the tree.
The very devout.and cousecrated
Superintendent. NJ, Elijah Tim
merman, was master of ceremonies
and opened thu exercises by
announcing all appropriate song
which was followed by an earnest
prayer. by Rev. T. P. Burgess,
!Tnen Rev. c. E. Burts made a very
[brief, yet very appropriate, infor-
nal talk, which was enjoyed by all
present. The climax was next
reached when Santa Claus and Mrs.
Santa Claus, personated by Mr. J..
u. Dorm and Mr.. C. w. Watson,
respectively, entered, attired in
very comic and non-descript Co.'S
tunes. The sight Of these two
very dd.looking personages, each
Fof whom performed his part per:
fectly, ;precipitated an uproar of
laughter which lasted for many
minutes.
Now the distribution of the pre-
sents began. AS Messrs. W. r.

WHY Men Eat Too Much.

Eating IS the greatest Of all our
standard amusements. A great num-
Der of people obviously eat great
deal more than they need, and 1t Is en-
tireIy credible that large proportion
of the moderate eaters might thrive as
well and look as handsome and work
as hard and live as long on a very
much restricted diet. But would the
10y of life continue unimpaired for
them? The native born might raise
plenty of children If they could sub
sist for II cents a day, but would they
think life was worth living on IL cents
worth of food q day? No, they
wouldn't. That is one thing that ails
them.-Harpers.

chnirs In the Dark Ages.

The chairs Of the dark ages, modelled
partly on those of the Romans, were In
keeping with the comfortless dwellings
in which the people Of the north Of
Europe then passed their lives. The
Saxon kings Of England are represent
ed rs seated on thrones in the form of
q box, the ends slightly raised, the bot
tom advanced to form sort Of foot
stool. There is always a cushion to
add a degree Of comfort, and some
times back in the form Of a cross
piece or remotely resembling the backs
Of modern chairs.
