Despite the fact that cur gener-
Gus and very genteel young friend,
Charlton Lynch, is surrounded
by mineral waters and drugs ga
lore, he found it necessary to be-
take himself to a certain little
city in the Old North State in
search of cure for heart troub-
le. knowing his case to be g des-
perate one, Charlton's friends re-
alize that be should have songht
relief but feel that he ru t th-lessly
disregarded them by stealing off

The wagon of the Standard Oil
Company may be called to ac-
count by the humane society.
Every week or ten days the heavy
Standard OIL tank-wagon makes
trip to Edgefeld from Aiken, the
distributing point. The aggregate
weight drawn by the two mules,
including the. wagon, metal tank,
oil and two men, is something
like 1000 pounde. Such load
for tvs mules considering the dis
tance and sand roads, is entirely
too great. The matter should be
looked into and if the estimated
weight as above given is correct,
the owners should be required to
reduce the load or increase the
horsepower, rather mule-power.

hear Miss Matte Lyon tell of her
low-country observations and her
experiences as teacher at White
hall, Colleton county. She boarded
at the home Of a wealthy rice
planter, Mr.. S A. Marvin, who
lived in lordly style, enjoying
