Attempt to Wreck Train.

There was an attempt to wreck thu
west bound passenger train in this city
last Friday night. This train passes
here about eight o'clock, going tc
Augusta, and at point on Railroad Ave
nue., in the center Of the residence por'
ton of the town, some scoundrels had
placed an old railroad rail across the
track. This rail was so heavy that one
man could not manage it. and this shows
conclusively that there must have been
two men or more concerned in the affair.
The cow catcher on the front of the en-
CINE picked up the rail and carried it
some distance, and it did not get under
the wheels of the engine. No damage
was done, but it was dastardly attempt
which will call for severe punishment if
the guilty parties should be caught. A
detective for the railroad has been here
at work on the case, and it is to be hoped
the right men will be prosecuted for the
crime.

Notes From Allendale

ALLENDALE, January 10.-The Rev.
]. D. Huggins, the new pastor of the Bap-
tist Church, has arrived and assumed his
duties.
The Presbyterians now have resident
pastor, the Rev. s. c. Caldwell, formerly
of Walterboro.
Nh. ]. G. Stoney is erecting handsome
residence on the edge of town.
The National Chemical Company, Of
Allendale, have put up mixing plant in
connection with the Seaboard Cotton Oil
Company's plant here, and will manufac-
ture and mix fertilizer this season.
With the advent of the new year the
usual amount of moving about is notice
able. Most of the moving this year is into
instead of out of Allendale and unfortu-
nately for the growth of the town, there
are not sufficient residences to accommo-
date the demand.
1t is greatly to be hoped that some of
the money citizens will erect in the near
future lot of comfortable cottages, for
rent.
Mr.. j. N. Walker, of Appleton, who has
recently purchased q beautiful home and
taken up his residence in Allendale, has

Stuck to His Theory.

Arthur E. Boswick, the head of the cir
culation department of New York's free
libraries, tells this story to the New
York Tribune about German professor
of Jens, who belonged to the Haecklin
School:
1.-THE professor got shipwrecked off a
tropical island. As soon as the ship
struck the old gentleman leaped over
board and swan ashore.
"But no sooner was he on dry land
than he turned and plunged into the
water again, and swan back to the ship.
"He seized his stout wife in his arms
leaped headlong overheard, and, despite
his burden, again reached shore in safety
There the captain, who had already
landed, said to him an amazed tone:
"'Why didn't you save your wife the
first timer
"sAh,' said the professor, with salts
fed smile, Il was bound to save myself
first, you know. Self.preservation iss ma
lures highest law"

A VERY GENIAL FRIEND.
His Last Words to a Fair Travelling
Companion.

The late Col. John s. Linehan, of Con.
cord, N. a., insurance commissioner OF
that state, told many good stories. One
he liked to tell was of genial friend
who never waited for an introduction to
any one, but made friends in his own jov-
ial way.
One day this man boarded the train at
Concord to ride to Lowell. The only
vacant seat was beside rather distin-
guished looking woman of middle age.
Col. Linehan's friend dropped into this,
and, in spite of the fact that the lady dis.
dainfully drew her skirts away from him,
at once tried to enter into conversation
by making comments on the weather.
The woman condescended no reply ex-
cept freezing stare; and, after repeating
the attempt several times, the Concord
man relapsed into silence, and finally
,lrowsed off, with his head against the
back of the seat.
When train reached Lowell he was
wakened by the cry of the brakeman, and
hastily gathered his belongings togeth-
er to leave the car. Glancing at his
seat mate, he observed that she also had
entered the land of slumber. The chance
was too good to resist, so he leaned over,
gave her gentle poke in the ribs, and
said, genially: II wanted to say good
by, madam, as it may be long time be-
fore you and I sleep together again"
Then he stalked out of the car, follow
ed by a roar of laughter from those in
the vicinity of the seat, and leaving the
woman in dazed condition.-Boston

District Attorney Capers In Trouble.


WASHINGTON, January 10.-President
Roosevelt, it is stated on the best author
ity, has told District Attorney Capers
that he will not be appointed to the
Judgeship in case provision for a
new Federal judge for South Caro-
lima is made by Congress. There is
some doubt, also, about Mr.. Capers being
reappointed to the position he now holds.
The term of District Attorney Capers
ended on December 16. There has as
yet been no reappointment, for the rea-
son that an investigation is being made
by an agent of Attorney General Moody
into certain charges made against Mr..
Capers.
At the department of justice it is &C
knowledged that formal charges have
been filed affecting the efficiency and
character of MI. Capers. What these are,
or who filed them, the department will
not disclose. They are of character
however, calling for investigation, and
this is under way.
|; It is the Presidents purpose to reap
point Mr.. Capers to his present position
unless this investigation should disclose
facts that make such reappointment i'm
possible.

Among the varying styles of negro
mimicry the work of Lawrence Barlow
stands out as distinctive creation in
comedy work. His jokes are pungent,
his repartee quietly droll, his gestures
full Of suppressed fun, and his every
action laughable. Mr.. Barlow's style OF
portrayal belongs to the modern school,
and is particularly pleasing to the fastid-
ious theatre-goers from the fact that he
avoids any suggestion of coarseness or
"horse-play." In song and story MI.
Barlow is a bubbling font OF clean,
sparkling wit and melody. Peals OF
laughter invariably follow his clever sal.
lies; his humor is choice and piquant, and
of quality which leaves his audience
hungering for more. As clean mlrth-
full artist, his work leaves nothing to be
desired, as he has no superior in his
chosen profession as fun maker. Mr.
Barlow is the premier comedian in Bar
low & Wilson's Minstrels, which appear
at Bamberg opera house, Tuesday even
ing, January 23rd.
