Steaoied Him Down to His Gait,
Cor. Augusta Chronicle.

Cor. Augusta Chronicle.
The contest for chairman of the
board of dispepsary directors was
preceded by warm campaign. For
nights there have been caucuses of
all kinds and of all degrees of heat.
Col. II. H. Evans, of Newberry,
was opposed by Mr.. J. A. McDer-
mott, Of Horny. When it came
down to the vote Evans won in a
canter. On the first ballot the
election was secured, Evans get
ting ninety.nine votes and McDer-
mott fifty six. It was an easy
thing for Hub Evans. He is very
popular man and known from one
end OF the State to the other. He
is OF genial robust disposition,
shakes hands like a whirlwind and
talks III loud, cheerful tones. He
knows all about the dispensary,
having served several terms as
member OF the board of directors.
When seen right after the race Mr..
Evans was jubilant and as he
grasped the hands of his friends,
Shouted:
"Wby, he didn't more than toe
weight me, did heY Just steadied
me down to my gait, chi?
MIR Evans and his friends, who are
numerous, are we'll pleased at the
great victory, which is quite a COM
pliment to the winner, for Mr.. Nc
Dermott is himself a strong man.

A Washington dispatch to the
Greenville News says that Con-
gressman Aiken attended the big
reception given by President Roose-
welt Thursday night. 1t was his first
visit, but courtesy demanded that
he should go to at least one of the
four big receptions given by the
President during the winter. These
receptions are attended by the Four
Hundred of Washington and the

titul women in the most fashionable
attire to be seen in the world, for
elgn diplomats, with their bright

1antly lighted rooms. the music of
the Marine band, all furnish a

Filipino All Saints Eve

All Saints eve is celebrated in the
Philippines in strange fashion, says
a writer in Lippincotts. 1t is gleefully
hailed by all the gay young blades of
the village as the calinanan or chick
en- stealing fiesta, as on that night it
is considered perfectly legal to steal
every feathered thing you can lay
hands on. Young men and boys as
semble at midnight, often to the num-
Der of 100 or more, and, dividing into
bands of eight or ten, each band hav-
ing duly appointed captain in COM
mand, proceed to take toll of every
hen roost in the neighborhood.
The expeditions are attended with
plenty of excitement and even danger,
as the fowls roost either in the
branches of trees or under the elevated
floors of the houses, which are usually
high enough from the ground to per-
nit man to pass to and fro under
them in a STOPPING position. To
gather the chickens from the trees is
an easy task, though one or two
youths are often freed by an irate
householder with blood in his eye and
a bolo in his hand, but the onslaught
on the roosts under the houses is the
supreme test of GOODNESS and courage.

Sunday Rest Is Gone

Sunday, from being a day of rest
for man and beast, has become the
busiest day of the week. So many So
the English weekend parties have be-
come an established custom in this
country, and the guests must be
amused. Dinners, at homes and must
Gales, not only in town but out of
i town, have become the regulation
mode of entertainment for that day.
Sunday, too, is the day now select
ed for repairing streets and altering
car tracks in the business sections,
/ which it is impossible to do during
the rush and crowding of the week.
The old-fashioned Sunday has dis
appeared-that slow, easy-going day of
rest and family reunion, when church
and good, solid dinner were the only
distractions, and Sunday papers were
of small import. Simple pleasures,
and yet how restful!
The c;ty's growth and the opening
of new and convenient routes by the
trolleys are in a great measure re-
! sponsible for the change, and the
| truthful excuse is given that Sunday
| is the only day that one is free to
visit. But have the majority this ex-
cuse, or is it the feverish rush after
excitement and novelty
What would the Pilgrim Fathers
| have to say if they saw the very vani-
! ties they had turned from in the Old

it's on account of the moral support
I get from the new gloves that I'm

fore, that the old gloves are the best

Dark figures steal quietly to the at
tack, and the crucial moment comes
when hands are laid on the feathered
victims. One or more is sure to give
the alarm, and the awakened family
comes flying pell-nell to the rescue,
armed with knives, clubs, stones, even
guns if it is lucky enough to possess
them, and the next few minutes are
filled with enough excitement to salts
fly even the most adventurous spirit.
Squawks, cries, curses, kicks, squeals,
the sound of rapid blows and running
feet fill the night air, while the feath-
ers literally fly.
The glory of the raid consists in
getting away with the chickens, and

SIGNS OF GOOD MANNERS.

Elder Sisters Effort to Uphold Repu-

As the Oldest of the family, Anna
felt keenly the necessity of keeping a
close watch upon, the manners of her
two younger sisters, lest disgrace be
attached to the good name of the fam
lily. Her intentions, at all events, were
beyond cavil, although as much could
not always be said for her manner of
carrying them out.
Certainly the prOvocation was great
when Annals younger sister deliber-
ately put an entire hard-boiled egg in
her mouth in the crowded steam car
on the way home from school. Only
a few persons saw the dreadful deed.
yet Anna straightway rose, crossed
the aisle and administered to the Of
fender a box on the ear which re-
sounded from one end of the car to the
other. Thereupon she resumed her
seat. in the proud consciousness of a
duty well performed.
why, Anna, how could you do such
thing, and publicly, too?" said her
mother later after hearing a fearful
recital of the incident from the lips of
her youngest daughter.

Then came the Sundays of the last
century-the Sundays when the break
fast was deferred to an hour later

ready in time for church, for to
church or meeting one must go. I'M

cuse. The children all went to church,

seemed endless and far beyond the
comprehension of such youthful lis
teners there was always the compen-
sation of dropping the bright penny
on the collection plate, or watching
poor old Mr.. Blank nodding gently
and waking with start at regular in
tervals. Sacrilegious amusements
without doubt, but compromising in a
measure for the penance of sitting
still. which is SO irksome to the
young! How much the children en-
joyed being allowed to keep on their
best clothes in honor of the day!
Light literature was tabooed, only to
make it more enjoyable during the
week, and there was the solace OF
knowing that if story books were for
hidden, lessons, too, were laid aside.
