The late Patrick A. Collins, mayor Of
Boston, studied law at Harvard. A Har-
ward man said of him:
collins liked to see wife treated lib.
orally and reasonably. On the subject of
household expenses, I heard him tell a

collection of the dollars came, and various
and dron were the stories of earning the
money. One woman had shampooed hair,
another had baked doughnuts, another

Poor Margaret Fuller.

Margaret Fuller Ossoli, who before her
marriage spent much of her time in Con.
cord, Mass, enjoyed the friendship of
such men as Emerson and Hawthorne,
who had a high regard for her, but she
was unable to convert all of her acquaint-
ances into friends, says the Boston Her
aid.
Old DR.. Barrett, of that town, although
very kind old gentleman was little
blunt of speech and took strong dislike
to her. One very dark and stormy night
the doctor was awakened by very loud
knocking at his door, and, getting out of
bed, he called from the window to know
what was wanted.
Doctor" said voice from below, chow
much camphor can anyone take by mis-

"Who's taken it ?" inquired the doctor.

For once in the history Of South Caro-.
lima the politicians are scared. Few pol
itical booms were launched at the State
Fair last week.
~
Bamberg is one of the very best towns
in the State from q business standpoint
in other words it is good place to make
money. Yet we are not as we'll known
as we should be. The town has suffered
from lack of advertising. How we wish
we could make every citizen of Bamberg
q walking, talking advertisement for his
town! Talk to citizen from any other
town in the State for five minutes and he
is sure to say something good for his
town. How many of US in Bamberg re-
member to tell of the towns advantages
when talking to strangers? Let us get
ont of the habit of telling of the towns
shortcomings and wake up to the posi-.
bilities that are before US.

On Sunday last, October 29th, the new
Methodist church was used for services
the first time. The church is thing of
beauty in every respect. 1t is very
handsome building, and up-to-date in
style of architecture, indeed it would do
credit to town of much larger size than
Bamberg.
The seats are entirely comfortable, and
the beautiful soft opal lights make it q
most attractive and delightful auditorium.
The beautiful and appropriate sermon
was deli cred by the beloved and deserv.
edly popular pastor, Rev. Waddy T. Dun
can, who had as his text I Kings, 21:25, a
sermon long to be cherished by those who
were so fortunate as to be present.
Special music had been carefully pre-
pared for the occasion.
The decorations of pot plants, ferns,
palms, and begonias, and also the very
handsome chrysanthemums, grown by
Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, made the church
q scene of enhancing beauty.
Below is program in full of music:
Anthem-What Are These-McPhail.
Hymn-With Joy we hail the sacred day
-Auber.
Gloria, Venite Exultemus Domino.
Anthem-God is the Refuge-Sweney.
Hymn-I worship Thee most gracious
God-Faber.
Ofertory-A Dream of Paradise-Gray
"a soprano solo, delightfully."- sung by
Mrs. w. G. Roger.
Hymn-Sweet Home-Denham.
Doxology.

Whittemore knocked him down and
kicked him about the head, face and side,
that the affair occurred at his, Desmond's,
boarding place, and was witnessed by a
number of men. Desmond says further

his apparent rough handling has weak

move about. There are contusions and
bruises on his head, face and side. His
Jaw is so bad swollen that he cannot
take any food other than liquids.
He says further that the superintendent
of the bleachery advised him to leave
Clearwater, as he might be killed if he re-

for care and protection from the county
authorities. Deputy Sheriff Busbee took
him in charge and he will be kept in jail
here until court convenes next week. The
statements given above are only Des-

President Lucas Made Offers to MiIliken, But
Deal Fell Through.


The effort recently made by the Lucas

holders to bring about an amicable set
tlement of the controversy with the Mil
likens by 'give and take offer" has
failed. The Lucas crowd offered to buy
the Milliken stock and all other stock Of
fering at $17O share, or if they were un-
willing to sell, to sell the stock of the
Lucas crowd at the same figures. The
Millikens would name no selling figure,
their position being that they did not care
to sell at all, Lot the intimation was re-
ceived that they might buy at 100 a share.
This the Lucas people declined and again
asked that the Millikens name selling
figure. Finally another intimation came
that the Millikens might be induced to
pay $1s5, but this was declined by Lucas,
who again asked that they name price,
intimating that $170 was not necessarily
the highest price he was willing to pays
The Millikens have not made any positive
offer. The negotiations were conducted
by the Lucas people with John B. Cle7e-
land, of spartanburg, who is friendly to
the Millikens. but who throughout the
controversy has sincerely desired and ad-
vised an amicable adjustment. Judge
Pritchard has granted an order permit
ting Lucas to appeal from the order en-
joining him against proceedings in the
State courts, also an order striking out
from the Millikens' answer their allega-
tions regarding the meeting held May 10.
