Porch Table Covers.

Dainty and fluffy is not what the
best sort of porch table covers must
be. It may be attractive, novel, Of
artistic colors and designs, but there
must be practicableness about it
which will make it better fitted for
it's outdoor life" One which is in
good style is a square OF cream-col-
ored canvas or cotton etamine, with
a border of lowered cretonne, which
is eight or ten inches wide. Gre
tonne or some linen art ware is often
found in some dark Egyptian design.
This makes an effective center, with
"a plain border Of some harmonizing
COLOR Pink ticking Is the material
of another cover. Large roses are cut
from cretonne and appliqued around
the edge, forming an irregular border.
IF a small sblack wash galloon Is used
n this applique, more character is
siVen to the cover.

Death of Henry Robertson.

WATERLOO, Jan. 1.-Mr. Henry Rob-
ertson, son of the late Mr.. V. B. Rob-
ertson of Waterloo, S. c., died in
Clarksville, Ark, at the residence of
his uncle, Mr.. Benjamin Robertson, on
Dec. 26th, 1905, aged 80 years.
The deceased had been in failing
health for the past fifteen months, and
about six weeks ago, he was induced to
try the climate of San Antonia, Texas,
hoping thereby to be benefited, but af-
ter remaining there for a short time,
he felt impressed that the end was
drawing near, and had started home to
his mother, but three days after reach
ing his uncle's home was taken so i'll,
that after four days of suffering, he
passed away, perfectly resigned to
Gods will.
Mr.. Mason Hill, brother-in-law of
the deceased, went to Arkansas and ac-
compani ed the remains to Waterloo,
where the interment took place on last
Sabbath in the presence of large con-
course of sorrowing friends, who united
in extending their sympathy to the
stricken family, this being the third
death that has come to them during the
last three months.

LANFoRD, JAN. 2-Thc Christmas
holidays have come and gone with all
of their pleasure and gayety and now
we are ready to return to hard work
again. While there has been gladness
in many hearts, still there are many
bowed down with sorrow. To all of
these our hearts go out in sympathy.
On the % of Dec. about clock in
the morning the summons came to Mr..
William Peterson, cit is enough, enter

thee" We all feel sure that he was
ready for the summons as we have
heard him say that he was just waiting
for the Masters will to be done. He
has been quite patient in all of his af-
tiictions. For several months he had
lost his eyesight and had been confined
at home for some time, still death was
not expected so soon. He was 72 years
old the 22nd of last July.
One was always struck with the feel
ing of kindness and devotion that ex-
listed between father and children when
they went into his room A fathers
advice and loving care will be greatly
missed. We can only commend the
children to Him that doeth all things
we'll, and never makes mistake.

reporting the recent lynching of two
negroes in Barnwell county.
Ed West, a white man about 35 years
old, was found dead in the streets of
Bradley, small town about ten miles
Greenwood, Saturday night, with his
neck broken. The cause of his untimely
end is not known but it is supposed that
he was scuffling with some negroes and
thrown violently to the ground and that
this fall broke his neck.

was nothing of sensation in the testi-
mony. The verdict was that the three
men met their death by being struck by
the engine Of No. 36 in the Southern

dict to place blame on any one. The

HOMESPUN SUIT FOR
SPEAKER JOE CANNON.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
to Wear Gray Jeans Suit, Pres
ent from Congressman Aiken.

MIR. Zach McGhee, Washington COR
respondent of the Columbia State re-
Gently sent the following interesting
story to his paper:
When Congress convenes again Uncle
Joe Cannon, the speaker, will appear in
new suit of clothes of Confederate
gray jeans woven by South Carolina
woman up in the mountains of Pickens
county. On the opening day of con-
gress Representative Wyatt Aiken ap-
pearee in suit of homemade jeans, a
neat sack coat suit, the cloth of which
was woven from the wool of Blue Ridge
mountain sheep. He got the cloth of
an old woman up in Pickens who clip
ped the wool from her own sheep and
wove it on her own home-making loom.
1t made neat suit, and while little
odd for member of congress, yet it
was remarked by many of his friends
that Representative Aiken was one of
the "well dressed" members of the
house. Just before leaving for home
Mr.. Aiken made Uncle Joe Cannon a
Christmas present of piece of this
same cloth, explaining to him that
every stitch of it was made on an old
fashioned loom by a good old woman
who came from the best fighting stock,
from people who have fought for the
United States in every war since long
before the Revolution He also told
the speaker that if he would have it
made up he would have the best suit of
clothes in the house. This Uncle Joe
has decided to do. He has gone to a
Washington tailor and ordered an Eng
lsh walking suit made out of the piece
of homespun. He tells of it with great
pride.
When congress reconvenes it may be-
come fashionable to wear South Caro-
lima homespun jeans such as Confed-
crate soldiers wore during the war.
Who knows?

The docket is quite heavy one and
it will probably take week or more to
dispose of the criminal business.

Unfortunate Shooting Affair.

AS the result of dispute between
two young white men of the county,
Walter Thompson and John Boyd,
which occurred on the out skirts of the
city last Saturday night. Boyd was
shot in the neck and seriously wounded
by Thompson. Boyd was Immediately
brought to the city station house, where
he received prompt medical aid, and
later in the night he was removed to
the home of his brother-in-law, Mr..
T. B. Brown, four miles south of the
city. He is reported to begetting along
very we'll.
According to the best information re-
garding the affair it seems that the
young men, after lengthy quarrel,
emptied their pistols at each other, and
both had reloaded for another round,
presumably, when Thompson fired the
shot that took effect.
