The Delineator for May.

Among the women's magazines none will
be read with greater interest than the
May Delineator, which appears with a
varied and attractive table of contents
The news of the fashion world is reported
in a number of special articles, and the
choicest of the seasons dress productions
are illustrated. Chief among the literary
features is Albert Bigelow Paine's serial
story. "The Lucky-Piece," which grows
upon the reader with the second install
ment and promises most interesting de-
yelopments in the succeeding chapters.
Sewell Ford and Seumas MacManus also
contribute fiction, the latter an inimltable
story of Irish life. N. Hudson Moore
writes concerning old chairs in "The
Collectors Manual" "a Duet in Brit
tany' is an enjoyable travel sketch by w.
W. Newton, D. D., and Dr.. W. r. G. Lat
son contributes an article on House
work as a Recreation" illustrating the
proper methods of performing household
duties so that they become profitable and
pleasurable instead of disagreeable tasks,
as they are usually regarded. DR.. Murray
discusses "The Child's Bath" in paper
that will be helpful to young mothers,
and Allan Sutherland tells something Of
the origin and romance of Keble's famous
hymn, "Sun of My Soul" For the young
people there are amusements of various
kinds and stories by such entertaining
writer's as L. Frank Baum, Grace Mac
Gowan Cook, Irene Harrington Wright
and others, and large amount of space
is devoted to domestic topics, among
which attention may be called particular
ly to the article in the series ''The Making

Home Mission Items.

We are just beginning our work Of th'
new fiscal year. Our record for the yeal
just closed is good, but let us do better.
Through the medium of the Home Mis-
sion Society there are so many ways o1
working together with our Lord in up.
lifting and helping humanity. In Colum'
bus, Ga., is located a primary industrial
school for factory children. The hours
for teaching are from 7.30 to 1870 a. m
and I to in the afternoon, as most OF
the pupils are cooks and dinner carriers
for parents, brothers, and sisters who
work in the mill. During the past year
city mission boards have been organized
at Shreveport, La, Tyler, Texas, Albany,
Ca, Pensacola, Fla and Oklahoma, Okla,
and to do good work these institutions
must have deaconesses and city mission
aries, but not one is available.
DR.. Strong says there is money enough
in the hands of church members to SOW
every acre of the earth with the seed OF
truth. Methodism in New York gives
annually 100000 for deaconess work
and its support. Some of them speak
Italian and work in the Italian district
another speaks and writes Chinese and
teaches in schools for the Chinese. Others
work among the Swedish, French and
German population.
A colony of Japanese has located in
Dade county, Fla, to cultivate silk, cotton
and pineapples. Perhaps not one of then
has heard of Jesus and his love. What
an opportunity for some one.
Look around, kind friends; find "shut
in" or feeble one, and make them happy
for a little while, by nice drive
some pretty day. Oh! the work for will
ing hearts and hands to do.

period last year.
The safe of the Springs Banking and
Mercantile company at Heath Springs
Lancaster county, was blown open with
dynamite on Saturday morning and ST.

If Comptroller General. Jones enforces
the law penalizing corporations failing
or refusing to make returns and pay the
license tax, there is lots of trouble ahead
for the small corporations in South Caro-
lima.
There are Just now seven men under
sentence of death in this State, with the
strong probability that four of these will
be hanged within the next few months.
Four out of the seven are white men, and
two of these are men Of means and IN

"a horrible tragedy occurred in Horny
county last Thursday. F. o. Sessions, q
Young white man, shot and killed a girl
named Belle Sessions and then killed
himself. The girl was 18 or 20 years old
and was the mother of two children, one
of whom was said to belong to Sessions.
He shot the girl because she refused to
marry him and was going to Florida to
join another man.
R. A. Adams was not re-sentenced to
death at Walterboro, but was granted q
new trial on after discovered evidence.
Among the afidavits submitted in the
motion for new trial was one from Mary
A. Adams, daughter of Jaques, the dead
man and wife of the brother OF Il. A.
Adams, saying that her testimony at the
former trial was false. She says that she
was scared into testifying as she did by
members of her family.

Breath.

In an essay on breath a schoolboy be-.
gins:
"Breath is made of air. We breathe
always with our lungs, except at night,
when our breath keeps life going through
our noses while we are asleep. If it was
not for our breath, we should die when
ever we slept. Boys that stay in room all
day should not breathe; they should wait
till they get outdoors. Fol lot::of boys
staying in room make carbonicide. And
carbonicide is more poisonous than mad
dogs, though not just in the same way. It
does not bite, but that's no matter as long
as it kills you"

When Rev. Richard Carroll delivered
his lecture Sunday in the theatre he was
introduced by professor in the South
Carolina college. On the stage were the
governor of South Carolina, the mayor OF
Columbia and prominent men in the pro-
fessions and in the commercial life of the
city. We wonder whether there is any
State in the North where a colored
speaker could receive such distinguished
public consideration and endorsement!-

Pay Your Debts.

There is considerable good practical
religion in the following from the Metho-
dist Advocate; "Just at this time the
country needs a religion which will make
man pay his debts. Shouting don't set.
tie old accounts with God or man. We
bounce right into fellow and put him
out of the church if he goes to ball OF
theatre, but never word to a pious scamp
who never pays his debts. People who dc
not pay their debts are doing the church
more harm than either dancers or drunk
ards, for there are more of them in tht
church."

CAPT. E. R. WALTER DEAD.

He was a Native of Charleston, Served Gallant
" in the Confederate Army and was Lead
ing and Progressive Farmer Of oranssburs
County.
ORANGEBURG, March 31.-Capt. Eugene
r. Walter died at his home in this coun
ty, about seven miles west Of this city, IN
the "Fork," yesterday evening, in the 64tt
year of his age. Capt. Walter had not
been in good health for the past several
years, and about ten days ago he suffered
stroke of paralysis and it was the result
of this attack that caused his death.
Capt. Walter was born in the city OF
Charleston on July 81, 1912, and after he
reached manhood engaged in the cotton
business in that city for number OF
years with the firm of George Il. Walter
g. Co. His father, Capt. Geo. b. Walter
was the head of the firm. Retiring from
the cotton business in 1888, Capt. Walter
removed to Orangeburg to engage IN
farming and has continued his residence
in this county ever since.
CAPT. Walter entered the Confederate
army at the age of II years in Walters
Battery, which was attached to the com.
mand of Gen. Beauregard. He served
throughout the war and was once wound
ed. He was a sergeant of the battery
during his service. After the war he was
elected captain of the battery and served
the battery in this position for several
years.
Capt. Walter married Miss Mary A.
Rowe, of this county, who died several
years ago. The following children sur
yive: Messrs. Robert A. Walter and Will
liam McC. Walter, who are engaged IN
farming in this county; Mr.. Eugene 4.
Walter, who is in the United States naval
service, and DR.. George n. Walter, OF
Charleston. Capt. Walter later married
Miss Eva Baggott, of Bamberg county,
who survives him. He left no children by
his second marriage.
Capt. Walter was progressive farmer
and had his splendid plantation in high
state of cultivation. During his residence
in this county he was prominent in all
farmers organizations and was Jealous
worker for all propositions for the better
ment of the interests and conditions OF
the farmers of his county and State. He
never held public Office and apparently
cared little for personal preferment. He
took much interest in the organization Of
the cotton growers association during
the past winter and attended nearly all of
the county meetings that have been held
up to this time.
The remains were taken to Charleston
Friday and inferred in the family burial
10: in Magnolia cemetery.
