The June DelineatOr.

There is great deal of pleasant read
ing in the June Delineator. Fasnlons
foibles, as here set forth by pen and pen
Gil, are well designed to delight the fem
mine mind, as well as to prove adeiuslon
and snare to the masculine. There are
besides great many very pretty Ideas IN
dresses to children, which will be vel:
coined by mothers. In the literary part OF
the magazine, the first place is given to q
graceful Japanese tale, "The GiVer OF
Honour" by Mrs. Hugh Frazer, sister
of Marion Crawford, which is refreshing
In its sweetness and purity. and is sym
palhetically illustrated by Mr.. G. D.
weldon. Other items of fiction are two
college tales, eat the Window OF Para
disc" by R. 81. Barbour, and Baileys
Sister" by Allan P. Ames. A contribution
of great interest is the Chinese and Indian
photographs in the Around the World
series These are so beautiful as views,
and so realistic so away from the trlte, IN
detail, that every one who looks at them
must experience unusual pleasure. DR..
trace Peckham Murray's article on the
"Care Of the Neck and Arms" will be
helpful to women. There are many other
stories and articles for both little ones and

Mr.. Lawson In Augusta.

Last Sunday Rev. NJ. i. Lawson, pastor
of the Baptist church here, preached in
Augusta, and the Augusta Chronicle, in
publishing a full synopsis of his sermon,
said:
"Rev. NJ. L. Lawson, ct Bamberg, s. c.,
preached yesterday at both the morning
and evening services ofthe Curtis Baptist
church, to appreciative audiences.
"Mr. Lawson is an earnest and eloquent
minister, preaching the gospel in man
ner that reaches the hearts of his hearers.
He is also gentleman of attractive per-
sonality and won many friends among the
members of the congregation during his
brief stay in the city. In the afternoon ne
made an interesting short talk to the
children of the Sunday school of the
above church.
"At the evening service Mr.. Lawson
announced as his text: Gal. 6:l4: But
God forbid that I should Glory, save in
the Cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ, by
whori the world is crucified unto me, and
unto the world
"Mr. Lawson preached with great force
on the many things in life over which
men glory, when there was but one thing
worthy of such recognition of man."

Chloroform for Worshippers.

INDIANAPOLIS, May while the
Christian Holiness congregation was in
the midst of it's worship at Wabash last
night and the church was crowded with
people some one threw half gallon bot
tie of chloroform into the middle aisle of
the church. In an instant the room was
filled with the fumes of the drug.
The breaking of the bottle on the floor
caused but momentary cessation Of the
shouting. It was resumed and more than
a dozen persons were on the floor taking
part in the peculiar services. In few
minutes several were overcome by the
fumes of the drug and presently its dam
gerous nature was realized.
Those who were not seriously affected
began to drag others out of the house and
twenty got to the doors and windows,
where they revived slowly under the in
fuence of fresh air.
The services were then resumed and i'm
mediately shower Of stones fell on the
building. The windows were broken with
sticks and stones and several members Of
the congregation were hit, but no one was
seriously injured.
It is charged that the attack was in
cited by persons living near the church
who say they are disturbed by the SER
vices, which frequently last till after mid
night.-New York Sun.

ceived the following letter from Willie
Jones, State chairman of the Democratic
party. 1t will be we'll for our voters to be
prepared for any Republican candidate,
so tura out and vote next Tuesday, the

information from a most reliable source
that negro republican from The county
of Beaufort will run against Hon. T. G..
Croft for congress on the 18th of May. I
write to urge you to do everything in
your power to get our Democrats out to

ing that the primary decides the matter,
and some of these days We will wake up
to find that we have been defeated simply
because of the indifference Of the people.
Get your county papers to stir the people
up and do everything in your power to
get them to come out and vote.
Yours very truly,

He Took the Early Train.

A South Missouri exchange tells OF a
travelling man who stopped one night IN
a hotel in a small Ozark county town and
asked to be called at $50 o'clock so that
he might catch a, train, says the Kansas
CITY Star. In order to accede to the
guests request the landlord had to remain
up all night, as he had no clerk and no
alarm clock. he found he had to keep
awake and when $50 o'clock finally did
come he was in surly frame of mind.
Knocking on the guests door, he said:
"Git up. It's $780," In a sleepy tone of
voice the guest replied, 80. I guess I'll
let that train 60 and sleep till z O'Clock
"Well, 1 guess not" said the landlord
give stayed up all night to git you up
and you're going to git up" The guest
caught the early train.

Mayfleld the Coming Man.

The Mirror, labor paper published
for the textile workers of the Horse Greek
Valley, says:
Hon. S. G. Mayfeld, in the seco1d con-
gressioual district of South Carolina, was
in the second race with Mr.. Theodore G..
Croft, but has withdrawn in favor of his
opponent. His action meets with the
hearty approval of all classes of his fellow
citizens, and it means that he will be the
congressman for the long term beyond
all peradventure. We congratulate Sena-
tor Mayfeld for taking this step, and we
assure him that it merits the approval of
every man who believes in fair play and
who admires nobility of character and
magnanimity of conduct. After Croft,
Mayfeld will be the congressman.

Isa Sunday BetrOthal Illegal.

Sensational features developed in court
in Norristown, Pa, or Thursday, in the
argument of the demurrer filed by the
Rev. Edgar J. Heilman, of the Wyndmool
Lutheran church, in $4,000 breach OF
promise suit brought against him by Miss
Blanche Gertrude Keck, of Lehigh Coun-
ty. The trial of the case is resisted by the
Rev. Mr.. Heilman upon the legal techni-
calitv that the contract or promise was
first made on Christmas day IN 1898
which was on Sunday, and is, therefore,
invalid, and that all subsequent promises
were but a elimination Of the original

WHITE OvERSEER KILLED NEGRO HAND.
Mr.. Frank James Shot Paul Williams -Four
Timss-CIearly Justifiable, it is Said.

Mr.. Frank James Shot Paul Williams Four
Timss-CIearly Justifable, it is Said.
Mr.. Frank James, an overseer on Col.
Richard Singleton's place near Eastover,
where his father, Mr. J. 3. James, is fore
man, yesterday morning shot and almost
instantly killed Paul Williams, a negro
plowman on the place. Mr.. James i'm
mediately came to Columbia and sur
rendered to the sheriff. He was placed in
Jail. His attorneys, Messrs. Weston &
Aycock, will apply to Judge Gary for bail
for him in q few days, being confident
that the States evidence alone clearly
shows case of probable self-defense.
The shooting occurred at 5 o'clock in
the farm lot where a number Of farm
hands had gathered preparatory to begin
ing the days work. On Saturday MIR.
James had difficulty with Williams, who
resented Mr. James reporting for derelic-
ton. The negro was then armed with a
stick and Mr.. James did not resent his
cursing Elm. Yesterday morning the ne
gro renewed the quarrel. BE was advanc-
ing on Mr.. James clutching at his overall
coat as if to draw a weapon when the lat
ter fired. Mr.. James continued the firing
until the negro fell, when it was learned
that he had been shot four times, once
through the heart. Two other shots were
in the arm. The encounter was at such
close range that the negro's clothing was
afre when he fell. As he advanced he
clutched at Mr.. James weapon. No weap-
on was discovered on the body Of Will
liams, who was carried off by his friends
Immediately after he fell.
Mr.. James has the reputation at East
over, where he has worked ; number OF
years, of being a sober and industrious
man, with quiet and peaceful disposition.
This is said to be his first difficulty.
Neither was drinking at the time of the
killing. Little is known of Williams, who
has not long lived at Eastoyer. He was in
cutting scrape there last December and
is said to have been of contentious dis
position. He was about % years old.
There were a number of eye~witnesses,
who all agreed that Williams was ad-
yancing on Mr.. James at the time all Of
the shots were fired.
Col. Singleton said last night that there
was not the slightest foundation for the
rumor current in the city to the effect
that the killing threatened race troubles
at Eastover. There was the usual excite
ment which any sort of killing creates in
a rural community, but there were no
threats on the part of the negroes and
there was never the slightest fear of any
clash between the races.-Columbia State.
