A Social Event.

The most recherche function of the
season was that of Friday afternoon
from 5 to 7 30 when Mrs. NV. Bobo
hostess, at home to a large num-
Der of invited guests. The rooms
were not profuscly nor elaborately
decorated, but elegant and in good
taste were the artistically arranged
pot plants, palms, ferns, pink and
white roses. In the right front
room was the large cut glass punch
bowl. From its cool, refreshing
depths Mrs. j. A. Brown and Mrs.
j. A. Sawyer served each guest
with delicious fruit punch. In the
dining room the table decorations
were pink and white folds of soft
material suspended from the chan
delier to each corner of the table in
fcstoon effect and there fastened
with bows of broad pink and white
ribbon. On the table were exquisite
battenberg. Nunnelly's cream in
pink and white was sliced by Miss

Almost a Railroad Wreck.

Last Saturday morning between
8 and 10 O'Clock the shifting yard
engine had eight or ten cars moving
up the main line at a fairly rapid
rate of speed. Just after passing
the depot the engineer saw the regu-
lar freight train coming down just
above the water tank. Both engin-
GERS put on breaks, but notwith-
standing the putting on of breaks
and reversing both engines, they
ran together with such force as to
break the pilot of one and tear the
pilot of the other into a mass OF
fragments. One of the engineers
said his breaks would not work and
that was the reason he could not
stop his train. There is evidently
some carelessncss somewhere. The
frequent collisions and other wrecks
in the railroad yards seem to call
for some more caution than has
been shown in several cases of very
recent date.

Death of Mrs. D. a. Boyd.

One of the saddcst deaths we have
yet recorded was that of Mrs. D.
Albert Boyd. At the home of her
parents in the town of Newberry on
August 3rd, Mrs. Boyd died after a
short illness, leaving an infant boy
three days old. Before her mar
riage she was Miss Alma Bishop,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton
Bishop. She was married to Mr..
d. Albert Boyd of this city, April
20, 1904, and has lived here ever
since, her husband being in the
Monarch mill office. Mrs. Bishop
made many friends here and en-
deared herself to those who knew
her well, and the profound sympa-
thy of this community is with the
bereaved young husband and the
members of her family. She was
buried in Rosewood cemetery, New
berry, and the services, were con-

l'ockhart, was sent for and ne did
what he could for him. DR.. Mont
gomery OF this city was called later
in the night to assist, but before
reaching the house Baldwin had
died. This is terrible shock to
young Johnson who was so unfor-
tunatcd as to kill his young friend
accidentally, and to the bcrcavcd
mother of Baldwin is an awful blow.
These youths were about Is or II
years old. One cannot be too care
ful with gun or pistol, for it too
often happens that unloaded or
thought-to-bc unloaded guns kill.
This is n very sad case of killing
as the youths were good friends and
members OF good, highly respected
families, who have the sympathy of
the whole community.

n Sad Accident.

Monday afternoon Douglass John
son and Joe Baldwin returned to
the home of Baldwin after being
out several hours hunting. They
talked awhile and johnson said he
would go home. After walking a
few PAGES Joe Baldwin said some
thing to him in a joking way and
Johnson raised his gun and fired,
greatly to the surprise and constcr-
nation of Johnson, for he thought
his gun was empty, was certain
that neither barrel had loaded
shell in it. The load took effect in
the neck of Baldwin below the ear,
and he suffered from then until
about 2 O'Clock Tuesday morning
when he died. DR.. Johnson, Of

Dr.. r.RNP+v1ea,

Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This is medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases of
womankind. It does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single far-
pose of curing diseases peculiar to
third of a century of cures, and has

purely vegetable and perfectly harm
An alcoholic compound for women is
something no woman should take and
yet "Favorite Prescription" is the only
tonic and nervine put up for sale
through druggists, especially for wom-
ans weaknesses, that does not contain
alcohol and that too in large quantities.
Womanly weakness will always bring
nervous irritability and nervous con-
dition, for which alcohol is the worst
thing in the world. What woman
thus afflicted needs is a vegetable tonic
and invigorating nervine like Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
will build up her delicate system and
bring about a healthy tone. It cures
the drains and weaknesses of women,
also displacements, as prolapsus, ante.
version, retroversion, irregular and
painful periods and kindred ailments.
If you want to know what ails you
the United States mail will bring you
the best medical advice for only the
cost of writing materials and stamps.
Many women owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DR.. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos.
sible information about their condition

good medical advice aohsch cost then
