Fate of the Poor Dog.

Champ Clark relates the expert
ence of western politician who was
making house canvass some years
ago.
This politician had come to pros
porous looking farmhouse at a cross
road when he observed a comely
young woman standing at the gate.
Pulling up his horse, the candidate
for the peoples favor gracefully
lifted his hat in salute to the young
woman and politely asked:
.'No doubt, madam, your esti-
mable husband is at homer
eyes, responded the woman.
Might have the pleasure Of see
ing him." suavely inquired the politi-
clan.
Hes down in the pasture a-bury-
in the dog" came from the individ-
ual at the gate.
81 am very sorry indeed to learn
of the death of your dog came in
sympathizing tones from the candi-
date. 'What killed him?"
He wore hisself out a-barkin' at
candidates, - said the woman. .-Roch.

County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, February l8.-Last
week was an exceptionally quiet
week with US. One or two runaways
by some horses frightened by the
trains was about all the excitement
we had.
Mrs. Jacob Ehrhardt, Mrs. Frank
H. Copeland, Miss Florrie HERS, and
Mr.. Frank HERS went to Savannah
last week, where they spent two
days visiting relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Kinard, and Mr.:
and Mrs. J. A. Chassereau returned
last week from their trip to Florida.
They all say South Carolina is good
enough for them.
MIR. David Dannelly came home
Sunday from Florida where ne had
been on business.
Mr.. VIM. Mitchum went on a busl-
ness trip to Charleston last week.
Miss Effe Jones, of the McLaurln
section, is spending some time with
Mrs. Bertha Jones.
Idle gossip is plentiful around
town. Seems as if there is a growing
fad for such now. Idle hands is a
great factor in such. Plenty work
stops all such stuff. JEE.

Negro Arrested.

A few days ago Ed. Robinson, a
negro, was arrested near here by
Mr.. A. Fischer, Of Orangeburg, an
official of the United States govern
ment, charged with robbing the post
Office at Jamison some time ago.
Only a few weeks ago Robinson was
arrested on the charge Of completely
in the robbing of a store in Branch
Vile and he was bound over to court
on this charge. He was out on bond
when arrested for the postoffice rob-
berry. Hey carried to Orangeburg
and placed in Jail.
What the evidence against Robin.
son is we do not know, but we feel
sure he is not guilty of either charge,
for he has not been away from home.
His father lives on Mr.. N. 2. Felder's
place Just out of town, and Robinson
has been at home all winter. It is
really astonishing what flimsy evi-
dence negroes are arrested on only
too often.

The Abuse of redicine in the Nursery

The only medicine that a mother
should give on her own responsibility
iscastor oil, says Emelyn L. Coolidge.
N. D. If mothers and even many
physicians would learn that the little
ailments of babies and young child
rem may be successfully treated by
proper changes in the food and a
few external applications, the NOR
tality among infants would be great
" reduced. The digestive organs of
young children are very delicate and
when once upset by medicine it is
difficult to set them right again.
All sick babies must of course have
the benefit of a reliable physicians S
advice, and the sooner one is called
the better there are now, and
probably always will be, many moth
ers so situated that they cannot
secure good doctor for little nur-
sery ailments, and when such is the
case am sure they will not regret
trying the methods advised above in
place of relying upon their own limit
ed experience, of dosing with rene
dies suggested by well-meaning but
misguided friends. Delineator
for March.

mouth to yell the dentist could get

Col. R. w. Simpson, of Pendleton,
president of the board of trustees of
Clemson college, says he is going
to consult with attorneys with a view
of bringing a suit against The Farm
and Factory, newspaper published
at Seneca, because of an article
which appeared in that paper recent
ly criticising the management OF the
college and some members of the
board of trustees personally.
) Col. Simpson says the article con-
tanned some statements that were
absolutely untrue.
Col. Simpson says he does not
object to legitimate criticism of the
college or its management. but he
said he was getting tired of so many
unjust and false statements being
published in the newspapers and he
was going to get the advice Of attor-

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
Foul Play Suspected as to the Death
of a White Infant at Union.

UNION, February 18.-An eight
months old white baby was burned
to death in the Union Cotton Mill
village, this city, early yesterday
and an inquest was held on the same
the result being that the coroner's
jury failed to agree and the matter
is again being Investigated before the
coroner this afternoon.
Some suspicion of foul play is en-:
tertained. The child mother, sister
and young brother were the only
ones about the premises at the time
of the occurrence. The family name
is Shuler and they have only been III
this community a few months. His
reported that the child's mother
offered bribe to a woman ivS
ing close by her not to tell what
she knew of the circumstance.
This is apparently the ground upon
which the suspicion of foul play q
founded. s

The Qrienauer Recital.

= The recital given by Karl Gri-
enauer and his wife at the opera
house in this city last Thursday even
ing was fairly well attended. This
was the second visit of the famous
cello player to Bamberg, and his
music was throughly enjoyed. How
ever, Mrs. Grienauer, who. was ad,;
vertised as a vocalist from the royal
conservatory at Berlin, made a COM
plete failure, and the audience made
considerable sport at her expense.
The lady can't sing a little bit, she
has no voice, and it is hige time her
manager should take her off the
stage. No blame can attach to
the local committee who had the
entertainment in charge, for she
came highly recommended and her
husband is unquestionably an artist
and had delighted his audience on
the occasion Of his former visit.

Two Children Drink Poison.

ANDERSON, Feb. 1.-two child
rem, two and four years old respec-
lively, of Mr.. Albert Gaines, who
lives near Anderson, innocently drank
some arsenic yesterday morning. A
doctor was quickly summoned who
left here in an automobile and arriv-
ed at Mr.. Gaines residence in 18
minutes.
The younger child was in a dying
condition when she was given an
antidote. The other child was in a
critical condition and after the doc
tor administered antidotes an i'm
provement was noted at once. Had
the doctor arrived an hour later, it
is probable that the life of the smaller
child would have been lost.
Mr.. Gaines was in the city a few
days ago and secured a vial contain
ing a solution of arsenic for a skin
eruption. When he got home he
placed the vial on a shelf. The four
year-old child got in a chair and
reached the bottle and divided the
contents with her two-year-old sis
ter.

Fitting School Notes.

Last week the boys held a meeting
for the purpose of taking some def
mite steps along the baseball line. AS
result of this meeting an athletic
association was formed to be known
as the Carlisle Fitting School Athletic
Association. The objects of the as
sociation are numerous: to increase
the athletic spirit among the stu
dents; to have a general oversight Of
matters of the athletic nature; to
have someone who will be responsible
for all property Of the Association,
etc. It seems that heretofore there
has been no one to take care of those
things which are bought and placed
for the use of the players, and conse-
quently every year everything would
have to be purchased new. Now the
officers wi bepersonally responsible
for everything; everything can be
taken care of, accounted for and
nothing lost.
The officers of the association are:
R. H. OFT, president; Ernest HERS,
vice-president, Richard Addison, Sec
retary; J. G. Guilds, manager Of
the baseball team and treasurer OF
the association; John Huffman, cap
tain Of baseball team.
The grounds are being worked on,
the boys are showing much interest,
and we hope to get out a. good little
team this year.
Prof. Hogan was visited by Mr.. B.
J. Wells, of Laurens, last week. Mr..
Wells spoke to the students after
chapel exercises Friday morning.
We all enjoyed his talk.
Many of the students are attend
ing the revival services at the Metho-
dist church.

Forty.Five thousand Dollars tor Five
Hours Of Pleasure.

Mrs. Vanderbilt engaged Ihe
Wild Rose company, playing att the
Knickerbocker Theater, IN New
York, to give a single performances
on her lawn on an August night.
For this single item Of the entertain
ment she gave the management her,
check for seventeen hundred dol
lars" writes Anna Steese Richard
son in Woman's Home Companion
for March. ''For the production she:
had erected temporary theater,;
which gave employment to q small
army Of carpenters for full week
and enough electricians to wire g
small Western city. The rough
board walls were hidden by white.
and gold bunting, draped with gilt
wicker baskets filled with real roses
and the florists bill alone was said to-
be eight thousand dollars, and the
caterers bill even more. The drive
way leading to the house from the.
street was converted into a Midway.
conducted without charge to guests
by fakirs from Coney Island.
1.-The first guests arrived shortly.
before eleven o'clock; the stage per-;
formance began at midnight; the
cotillion followed on the heels Of
light opera, and just as the first cool
white streak of dawn crept over the
ocean, the guests and the player
folks rose from their supper tables.
During the interval forty-fve thou
sand dollars had been expended IN
entertaining hundred guests or
more, and one thousand artisans and
PLAYERS had been given employment.
Forty-five thousand dollars for five
hours of pleasure and Newport did
not think it so remarkable, either.
