New Way to Mans Heart.

81 have found new way to a mans
heart" said the girl who has had three
proposals this early in the season. ut is
through his socks. The stomach, as a
short cut to mans affections, is regu-
lar continental railway route compared
with the hosiery line of travel. The
modern young man is excessively fond
of his socks. He exercises his best taste
in buying them, and he likes to have that
taste appreciated. He gives you every
chance in the world to show your appre-
citation. Invariably he manages to leave
hiatus between his shoe tops and his
trousers, and then, if you have design on
this young man, all you have to do is to
cast sidelong, but admiring glances, at
the revealed expanses of hosiery and
murmur: What pretty pattern and
the trick is accomplished. You don't
need to 60 into particulars. he under
stands. Those socks are the pride of his
heart, and the minute he finds you ad-
mire them, too, he is yours-for the sum-
mer season, at least"

How They Stand.

The position of the candidates for gov
ernor on the dispensary question may be
briefly stated as follows:
Mr.. Blease is satisfied with the dispen-
sary as'it is and insists that there has
been no corruption or dishonesty shown
Mr.. Brunson is opposed teetotally to
liquor selling in any shape or form, and
is against dispensaries, state or county
and in favor of straight prohibition.
Mr.. Ansel and Mr.. Jones are in favor
of local option-letting each county de-
eide for itself whether it shall have dis
pensary or prohibition.
Messrs. Manning, McMahan and Sloan
are evidently convinced of the rottenness,
but still insist the dispensary-a ''puri'
fed" dispensary, they SAYS the "best
solution"
Mr.. Edwards-we are not sure how he
stands, except that he is unalterably
against the Southern railroad, but what
he proposes to do with it should he be-
come governor is not clear.-Newberry

Ehrhardt Etchings.

EaKHARDT, July "a young man from
our town claimed to be oyerworked and
asked for leave of absence for while to
recruit. When heard from he was in
Saltkahatchie swamp. Rather novel
place for health. However, on his return,
said his health was better and felt improv-
ed. What's the use to 60 to the noun
tains aud seashore when such improve
ments can be attained here in our swamps?
Mr.. David Dannelly and his wife re-
turned from their trip to the Isle of Palms
last week. Several other young folks
went to the city for enjoyment last week.
Some booze was taken on by some of
the colored folk, on the 4th. Next day
when they wanted to wind up by taking
little more they became boisterous and
impertinent, so the marshal gave some of
them warning tap with his club and
locked them up. Order must be main
tanned or people will get beside them
selves.
Last week we had quite number of
very heavy rains, as the farmers say, reg
ular trash movers, and the trash was Ger
tainly moved. No farm work could be
attended to in this section last week.
The corn crops are good in spots, but
the largest spots are very poor, cotton
crops are small, and as rule grassy. The
outlook for cotton crop is very poor
most of our business men think, however,
that it is disguised blessing for US all.
Will give US better hold on labor for
another year. Something is needed in
this direction, as our labor this year has
been poor and hard to manage.
Mr.. J. B. Copeland and wife, who spent
last week in Cameron with his wife's par
ents, returned Sunday morning.
A young man in town went to see his
best girl Sunday. Says the rain hindered
his returning until Monday morning.
Now, we all know it did not rain all
night.
The ladies of Ehrhardt are talking of a
cemetery for Ehrhardt. They mean to
have it, so We all must help them. Their
idea is to get suitable piece of land and
inclose same with a substantial fence;
then cut up in lots and sell them out to
families. JEE.

Bitten by Mad Dog.

Mr.. George Strickland. who lives at
Storeville, in Hall township, had the mis-.
fortune to be bitten by mad dog on last
Sunday morning. He went out to feed
his horses and stock and met hound in
the stable lot. He made some movement
to run the dog away, when the animal
jumped at him and bit him on the upper
lip. The dog was killed and its head sent
to Baltimore for examination. It was
found that the animal was suffering from
hydrophobia. Mr.. Strickland will leave
tomorrow to be treated in Pasteur in
stitute. His many friends hope nothing
serious will result from the unfortunate
occurrence.-Anderson Mail.

No Breach of Promise.

Recently there was tried in Chicago
breach of promise suit that awakened
much interest in legal circles. Council
for the plaintiff had begun to read what
was alleged to be the proposal of marriage
on the part of the defendant. This So
called proposal appeared on telegraph
blank. Turning to the jury, counsel be-
gan with my darling Marie" At this
juncture counsel for the defendant inter.
rupted his colleague at the Bar.
MAY it please the Court, this document,
being partly printed and partly written,
cannot, by the rules of evidence, be offer
ed in part by plaintiff. Everything on
the blank must be read"
Notwithstanding the protest of counsel
for the plaintiff that the printed matter
had no relevancy with the case-the fact
being that the proposal was written on a
telegraph blank by accident-the ruling
of the court was that everything on the
blank should be read. Accordingly the
reluctant counsel for plaintiff was forced
to read the following:
"There shall be no liability on account
of this message unless the same shall be
repeated, and then only on condition that
the claim shall be made within thirty
days in writing" Then after the sigma
ture followed: "Yours devotedly, Harry
together with this n. B.: "Read care
fully the conditions at the top"
To the delight of counsel for the de-
fendant the jury gave him verdict.

Manufacturers Will be Good.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Although the
pure food law does not become effective
until January /, and cannot then be en-
forced until congress appropriates the
necessary money, the activity on the part
of the agricultural department had al
ready exercised a wholesome effect upon
the manufacturers of foodstuffs through
out the country. The department has
received many samples with request that
the department pass upon them to see if
they are within the requirements OF the
law. This action of the manufacturers
is taken as good omen and by the de-
partment officials is interpreted to mean
that the manufacturers generally intend
to "be good"

The RetOrt Courteous.

One day a learned professor was ac-
costed bya very dirty little bootblack:
"Shine your shoes, sir?"
The professor was impressed by the
flthiness of the boys face.
II don't want shine, my lad," said he,
"but if you'll go and wash your face I'll
give you sixpence."
"a RIGHT, sir" was the lads reply, as
he went over q neighboring fountain and
made his ablutions. Returning he held
out his hand for the money.
"Well, my lad," said the professor,
"you have earned your sixpence. Here
it is"
II dinna want it, auld chap" returned
the boy, with lordly air. "Ye keep it
and get yer hair cut"

col. LUMPKlN HAS WITHDRAWN.
SAYS His Determination is Due to Changed Con
dtions in the Campaign.
(The State.)

Col. W. ". Lumpkin has withdrawn
from the race for the United States SEN
ate. he has a good reason which he does
not care to give to the public, and his
withdrawal, he says, is not due in any
measure to fear but for reasons over
which he has no control. he has been
very much gratifed at the promise of sup
port which he has received from all over
the State and he would have been glad
to have gone through with the campaign
to the end.
BE was not sanguine enough to predict
that he would receive the Democratic
nomination, but he said last night that he
feels sure that he would have received a
much larger vote than great many peo.
pie had suspected and he was depending
upon circumstances to pull him through
the race, but for reasons which seemed
sufficient to himself and his closest friends
he had deemed it best to retire from the
campaign.
In signed statement Col. Lumpkin
said:
"On account of the change of sondi'
tions surrounding the senatorial race, |
deem it best to withdraw from the con-
test. I have endeavored to conduct my
campaign in a manly, straightforward
way up to this time, and retire feeling
that have not Intentionally wronged any
one. W. W. LUMPK1N."

A BATHING SUIT" BANQUET.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is Said to be Planning
One.

NEWPORT, R. l., July Mot since the
famed monkey dinner originated and ex-
ecuted by the fertile brain Of Harry S
Lehr has Newport been given such a bi'
of spicy anticipation as in the announce
ment that the famed cotillon leader and
inventor of social diversions for the smart
set has been engaged by Mrs Stuyvesant
Fish to direct Fourth of July dinner
and dance at the opening of her "short
season" at the Crossways.
For a week Newport has been lying
with its ear to the ground for the details
of this affair. It was given out at the
very start that the affair would possess
the merit of originality. Only today,
since the invitations have been received
by the elect of the colony, has it become
known what Mr.. Lehr has planned and
Mrs. Fish accepted.
1t is to be "bathing g.suit costume" af.
fair. All the guests will be attired in
SulIS. AuCSO-SOStulnOS, e@Ao AOAS
other, are to be worn at the dance. New.
port dressmakers are busy designing
weird and fantastic costumes for the
nymphs of Americas high society who
will be Mrs. Fish's guests.
"The dresses are to be long, with short
sleeves, and cuffs, collars and four.in-
hand ties are to be provided" says one OF
Newport's elect who processes to be puz'
zled as to just what sort of pattern to
direct her dressmaker to cut from.
This is the first real sensation Newport.
ers have had this season, which, up to
date, has been one of the dullest in years
However, for time, at least, the bath
ing costume affair promises to divide the
small talk of the colony with the animal
ed discussion of the weather and the ills
to which the Pittsburg millionaire colony
Is heir to.
