In 1864 Sheridan, urder orders,
burned every BARI from a valley
above Staunton to certain point be-
low Winchester. A band of angry
rebels followed this raid, watching
for chance to pick up any stray
glers. Among others who fell into
their hands was little Pennsylvania
Dutchman who quietly turned to his
captors and inquired:
"Vat you fe]lers going to do NIT
me?"
The reply came short and sharp:
"Hang you"
"Vell," he said, meekly, "vatever is

His good-natured reply threw the
confederates into a roar of laughter
and saved his life.

Killed by q Falling Tree.

LAURENs, March 6-Mr. John L.
Pitts, a young farmer of Tumbling
Shoals, Sullivan township, was instantly
killed yesterday afternoon by falling
tree which crushed his head into an un-
recognizable mass and pinioning his
lifeless body to the ground. The shock
ing tragedy occurred in new ground in
which Mr.. Pitts was at work on his new
ly settled farm just mile east Of Tumb.
ling Shoals. The tree was dead oak
around whose trunk logs and brush had
been heaped and set on fire. After burn
ing several hours and aided by a strong
wind the tree suddenly collapsed and
in twinkling Pitts was hurled into
eternity.
The deceased was about IS years Of
age, the eldest son of Mr.. Billy Pitts Of
the same community. A widow, who
was Miss Knight, daughter of Mr.. Neal
Knight, and four children survive.
The funeral and burial services took
place today at Friendship church, near
his home.

still Wanting.

Old Simon, as we will call him, Is
quite a character in his way. He be-
lieves in asking for a thing until he
gets it, and then-well, he Is imme-
diately in need of something else. he
has lived on the same estate all his
life and until quite recently he was
paying a merely nominal rent-f1 a
year-for the small cottage he occu-
pied.
Simon, however, wasn't quite salts
fed. Whenever he paid an installment
of his rent he called his masters at
tention to the fact that this thing
wanted doing and that thing wanted
doing to the property. At length 81
mons master decided on bold move.
The next time Simon turned up with
the quarters rent and the usual list
of suggested repairs the owner was
prepared to meet him.
"Look here, Simon" he remarked.
1--WE been thinking the matter over, and
in recognition Of your long and faithful
service I'm going to make you free
gift Of the cottage you live in. From
this moment it's yours to do as you
like with. Now, what do you say to

He Iddn't Forget.

Many years ago, writes Mr. Thomas
Bailey Aldrich in "Ponkapog Papers"
a noted Boston publisher used to keep
a large memorandum book on table
in his private Office. The volume al
ways lay open, being the receptacle of
nothing more important than hastily
scrawled reminders to attend to this
thing or the other.
It CHANGED one day that a very
young, unf1eiged author, passing
through the city, looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor of
a famous magazine. The unfedged
had copy Of verses secreted about
his person. The publisher was absent,
and young Milton sat down and wait
ed.
Presently his eye fell upon the mem
orandum book, lying there spread out
Hike a morning newspaper, and almost
in spite Of himself he read: Don't for
get to see the binder" Don't forget
to mail E. his contract" Don't forget
H.'s proofs" and 50 forth.
An inspiration seized upon the
youth. He took a pencil and ut the
tail Of this long list Of don't forgets"
he wrote, Don't forget to accept AS
poem"
He left his manuscript on the table
and disappeared. That afternoon,
when the publisher glanced over his
memoranda. he was not little aston
ished at the last item, but his sense Of
humor was so strong that he did ac-
cept the poem-it required a strong
sense Of humor to do that-and sent
the lad check for it, although the
verses remain to this day imprinted.

Safe Robbers Again.

The depot safe at Kollock, the junction
of the Seaboard Air Line and the new
road from Bennettsville to Cheraw, was
burglarized few nights ago. The burg
lars did not get much but they wrought
confusion in the depot, which is also
the postofice. Their haul was only 81
worth of stamps.
The safe was blown open with dyna-
mite, and to deaden the sound the rob-
bers piled guano sacks around it.
The floor next morning looked like it
had been sowing guano for month,
sacks were blown to shfeds and their
contents scattered. A double barrel shot
gun was also stolen. It is thought that
these are the same parties who operated
at Latta recently.

Was the Legislature Buncoed:

Now the telephone act is found defec-
tive. The franchise tax act cannot be
enforced until next year. We are inform
ed that there is something wrong also
with the insurance law. The dog tax
law cannot be enforced. We do not know
what will be developed next. We would
like for some legislator to explain how
all this happened. We know that often
there is much underhand work in the
passage of acts, and frequently single
word or some seemingly harmless amend
ment is gotten in at the last moment of a
daily session or at that of the close which
practically destroys the intended effect
Of bill. There are so many Of them
turning up wrong that we have about
concluded that somebody's fine Italian
hand is responsible for all of it. We do
not know, but it all seems to be very

The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky,
knew how to administer rebuke in o
pointed manner. A wealthy and very
stingy member of his congregation who

would keep me from getting seasick." !"

who thought that the new commissioner

Charles is retained as clerk of the board
of directors. Mr.. Charles has served in
This Office long time and is fully up to
shis duties. The book-keepers, Messrs, N.

zer shipping clerk, is displaced by Mr.. L.
d. Baker, and Mr.. 81. Claffy, of Orange
burg, is made superintendent. Both of
these men have been dispensers, the
former in Bishopyille. Mr.. T. E. Dickson,
former superintendent, has been made
Scontraband clerk, displacing Mr.. W. W.
Harris. Mr.. Dickson has been in the dis
Ipensary a number of years. Mr.. W. j.
Powers continues in Office as shipping
clerk, but Mr.. Thomas Reasoner is dis
placed by Mr.. W. 81. sondly, new ap-

N. II. stansell. No appointment has been
made yet for the inspectorship now occu-
pied by z. T. Searson.
a new Office has been created by Com
missioner Tatum, that of stock book
keeper, and this place is to be filed by j.
gT. Parks, of Orangeburg, the editor of
the Orangeburg Patriot. This Office is
made because of the enormous amount of
stock handled and will require all of the

Moral Drawn.

Moral Drawn.
Mr.. Towill was a Baptist the is not one
now, for we do not believe that true
Baptist could 60 into the whiskey busi-
ness, nor for that matter a Christian of
any other denomination. We think Mr.
Towill has done the proper thing, how
ever, in quitting his church if he had
made up his mind to accept place on
the dispensary board. He certainly can
do no good in church while in this
business.
But his conductor points moral. Why
is it that some people who have made up
their minds to serve the devil insist upon
remaining in the church? We know men
who are constantly drunk, and yet they
are church members. The decent thing
for them to do would be to quit the
church. Journal

Van thought he did not much care
what happened afterward.
It was blowing harder as Fane came
about and Stacked the sheet for the
run to the far distant boathouse and
the hotel on the hill. They were go

ing dangerously in the clutch Of the
sea, the waves behind following with
hungry jaws and threatening every
moment to engulf them.
With braced body and strained mus
cles, every sense alert Vane grippec
the tiller, striving to hold the boat
against the swirling buffets Of the
waves, his one thought to get her safe
to land. Every moment the wind in

more tumultuous Would tho make

They were nearly opposite the boat
house when there came sudden whirl
Of wind from between the hills ahead
Vane had but time to cry warning
when the sail jibed, the boom came
swinging over with an angry snarl, the
boat was flung upon her beam ends.
and the next morient he found him
self entangled in cc-iage and battling
for his life beneath the waves. With
desperate fingers he cleared himself
and came to tie surface And Mar
jorie-where was she? Good God!
Had she been struck by the boom and
made unconscious or killed, or had she,
too, been carried down by the sinking
boat?
For an agonized moment Vane could
see no sign Of her, and then he spied
her just coming to the surface. She
was going down again when he cau1 1T
her and started for the shore. 1t was
a long swi,, against tide that seemed
to drag him down as If with clutching
hands, but Vane swore he. would save
this girl who Lad risked her life for
him or lose her own. He could see peo-
ple running to tie boathouse now and
getting out the boat. How slow they
were! Would they never come! HIS
muscles were giving out, his breath
came heavily, his limbs felt like lead.
Could he hold out? They were wearing
fast now. He tried to revive his fall
ing strength, to overmaster his weak
ness. The world grew black before
him, and then a strong arm gripped his
shoulder, and be and Marjorie were
lifted into the boat and rowed toward
shore.

In those days afterward, while Mar
jorie hovered between life and death,
Clifford Vane learned how much he
could do for this girl this girl he
thought was q child and now knew to
be the woman in all the world for him.
Gone was his love for Edith Winthrop.
He knew now that he had in her sister
all that Edith had seemed and more.
And there came day when he was
permitted to see her.
He found her on an upper piazza OF
the hotel clad in soft blue wrapper,
her soft hair loose on her shoulders.
and the smile her pale face held for
him gave him hope that in saving her
he had found happiness.
