The Happy Country Editor.

Don't pity the country editor. He is
as contented as COW puffed up by eating g
too many rose geraneurpa. He has no
kick coming except it be from his wife.
Pray for the spindle-shanked gaZaba
that is living the strenuous life in the
metropolis.
He needs it.
Don't lose any sleep over the Rube
who edits your home paper
But call around at least once a year
and settle up for your subscription as he
is part of the human race, and has. to
live and pay his doctor bills.
The doctor may call on an editors
wife and it is charge Of two dollars.
The editor may call on the doctors
wife and he gets charge of buck-shot.
He may not know paregoric from a
missft formula for making apple butter,
but he knows a hypoerite when he sees
one and dares call him SO to his face.
He probably eats with knife and
wears under shirts, but it is hard matter
to make him eat dirt.
He can eat and digest an old exchange
that has an advertisement of "soft drinks
and talk up business to beat the band.
He is not to the manner born, neither
has he an escutcheon embroidered on his
linen, but he has wiped his aquiline nose
on the -four sack OF civilization, and in
the slang of the present, "has been up
against it."
It doesn't ruffle him in the least when
he announces to the world that some
ones choicest bull calf got choked to
death on bag, for he rests secure in the
consciousness that he cannot please

Why He Omit Church.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, always
clean shaven and unusually fastidious in
his choice of barber, tells this story of
the colored gentleman who was accus-
toned to remove the surplus hair from
his face when he visited Boston. The
knight of the razor was named Dickson.
One morning the Senator opened con-
versation by saying: II believe you are
a member of the African Church in --

the reply, made with much dignity. "Ah,

Crime in SOnth Carolina.

Nj, Thos. J. Lamottc has been maxim g
a study of the records of the daily news
papers rs to the crime statistics He has
gone over the files of the daily News and
Courier for the first six months of the
present year, and finds the records as
published for what he terms "violent
deaths" to have been:
From January to March 3l-Accident,
3; suicide, 10; homicide, g. Total, 40.
April l to June 30-Accident, II; sui

Total for six months, 143.
Mr.. LaMotte states that in the figures
he has compiled for the first six months
of this year, for this State, five, who are
reported as dying of drinking, are classed
as suicides. The figures given under the
heading of accidents do not include those
killed in railroad accidents, nor does it
include the deaths in connection with the
floods in the mill district
Mr.. LaMotte figures that the criminal
record of the last quarter over the first
shows an increase of 40 per cent which is
indeed remarkable

increase over the records of a similar

Mrs Jno. W. Crum, q beloved Christian
lady of this place, passed away last Sun
day morning, August 30th, 1903, at the
home of Mr.. /. W. Bowman, after an ILL
ness of only a week. She was stricken
down with congestive chill a few days
previous to her death, and though des-
perately i'll, it seemed that the worst had
passed and the family thought her much
better Sunday morning sudden change
for the worse came and she passed away
in few hours.
Mrs. Crum was sixty-eight years old
and for many years had been a very
earnest and consistent member of the
Methodist church. She was tender,
loving wife, and mother devoted to her
children.
The remains of the deceased were
taken to Denmark for interment. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Beckam in the presence of many
relatives and friends who had assembled
to pay their last tribute OF respect to the
memory of this good woman.
The deceased leaves husband and
three children-Hon. II. H. Crum, of
Columbia, Mr. S. Fl. Crum and Mrs. l. W.
Bowman, of this city. They have the
tender sympathy of many friends in
their rbereavement.--Orangeburg Patriot.

The young man blushed, and, in hes,

The face of the worshipful master

Silence Too Profound.

Congressman William E. Lowering, of
Massachusetts, told this story Of the late
Tom Reed the other evening:
"It was one of those long night ses-
sions in the house, when the Diugley bill
was in the conference committee, and we
were all worrying lest the debate on the
measure, when it should emerge, would
pass all the bounds of our strength and
patience.
Il went to the speakers desk at one
stage, and asked MIR. Reed if he would
entertain resolution to the effect that
no one should be allowed to speak on the
tariff unless he had something new to
say. Mr.. Reed gave me one of those
quizzical looks of his and drawled out:
"Mr. Lowering, tyranical as am,
thoroughly depraved and bad as | am, |
have hot yet reached the point of heart
lessness where can condemn this house
to silence as profound as that resolu-
ton would entail. | will not entertain
it, r."-Philadelphi Ledger

Bill Arp No More.

Dead? That great and good man dead
means the oaks in oracular darkness.
And across the moonlit meadow comes
sigh breathed from lips Of love, mot
dead, in yonder fairer cline he lives

Charles H. Smith, familiarly known as
"Bill Arp" has been colossal figure in
the newspaper world for nearly half
century.
He came into prominence during the
dark years preceding the war between
the States, when he made brave tight

was one of the most decided, most loyal
Southerners God ever made, and never
did he lose chance to trim down the
smart Alex" that have cropped up, from
time to time, to preach 1.-The negro and
his rights and wrongs to u.s."
After tue war when peace was again
established, Arp retired-or attempted to
but the demand for him by Southern
papers was so great that he gave his life
to the work and perhaps the last stroke
of his pen was made in this capacity
when he asked to be excused that week
for not filing his column adding, am
too SICK The next week found him
cold in death. We will miss his letters.
He had learned to council and comfort
others, and gathered his readers as big
family around him, and dispensed freely
from his inexhapstible supply OF fresh
and original thought. Who ever associ-
atpd anything artificial with "Bill Arp" ?
That man OF pature and grace Who talked
with his pen and invariably onened tho
door to his heart through which you saw
bis wife-still his sweetheart at seventy
and his children and grandchildren, and
their home life as perfectly as if be had
placed you ia actual access to them.
Bill blabbed heap-nO doubt told 8
lot of family secrets which I have every
reason-and those reasons known best to
woman-made his wife blush and his
children chide, but the world chuckled
and followed, "lurrah for Bill Arp

With good roads into Bamberg, more

The people of Indiana have started a
movement to keep negroes out OF that

not care to expose their women to fate

undoubtedly undergone change.
