Po,uIar Street Tree.

There is no doubt If 1t IS properly
handled that the pepper tree is nearest
to the ideal for street planting. The
chief and, in fact. thc"orly objection
urged against it is that 1t raises the
sidewalk ard pushes out the curD
either by roots or buttresses of the
trunk. These difficulties are easily
avoided if proper preparation IS made
SAYS the Los Angeles Times. The pep
per roots and buttrcsses are made
above ground only because of resist
ance below. If the soil Is loose ana
pcrmcablc for Il considerable distance
below the surface the roots Will delve
deeply and no trouble will be expert
cnced. On the other hand. II the
ground Is SO lard that top resistance Is
less than THAT below no other result
must be expected than that the roots
Will come up and the trunk Enttresscs
widely because 1t cannot 20 down.
therefore 1t must grow sidcwlse. This
argument will hold good IL greater or
lesser measure with all trees.

Hama Trade Philosophy.

If YOU cast your breau upon the wa
tiers it may return to you after many
DAYS, but If you cast your dollar into
the mail order maelstrom 1t never gets
back to your vicinity.
Seeing Is believing, and when you
see an article before you buy 1t you are
entitled to believe that 1t is worth buy
ing or to let 1t stay unbought If other
wise.
Farmers who send their money into
the big cities to buy goods which they
might Just rs well buy at home Will
find their sons following the dollars Of
their daddics into the great trade CEN
tcrs as soon as the boys grow up and
will have to compromise on hired men.
If YOU don't like the community you
live in we'll enough to do your trading
in that community, why don't you
move into some community that you
like better? In that case maybe some
body would take your place who would
help to make it better community to
live In by helping to build 1t up.
Thousands of men throughout this
country arc bowling down the idea
of centraliza lion Of government While
at the sane time they are pro-
noting the Capitalization Of trade by
spending money with the catalogue
houses, which are rapidly growing
more and more powerful.

NARROW ESCAPE.
.tIrs. John II. Dukes Near Being Ser
iously Hurt.

Tuesday afternoon while Mrs.
John H. Dukes was on her way home
in buggy she came near being seri-
ous.y hurt by a train on the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway. When she
reached the railroad the afternoon
train was crossing Broughton Street
It the depot. AS soon as the pas
senger train passed. she attempted
to cross the track and came very
near being run into by freight train
that was following closely behind
the passenger train. Fortunately she
got out of the way just before the
train struck the buggy. The shock
vas very great and Mrs. Dukes suf-
.ered from it very severely. The
freight train gave no notice of it's
approach, which is "a glaring piece
Of carelessness on the part of the
engineer. We are glad that the mat
ter is no more serious than 1t is. but
it should act as a warning to the
railroad authorities to see that life
is safeguarded at this most danger
ous> crossing.

Mr.. BOOMER OF 'B0OMToN.

The town is on boom at last.
And everything Is going
As lovely as m0lasscs. fast

New stores have started. Einks & Co.
Have built a handsome building:
New lines Of business make show
With signs in fancy gliding.

Since Mr. Boomer went a-Eunning.
The place has taken on an air
Exceedingly superior.
And not citizen would dare
To call the town inGcr!1r
A dozen persons. more or less
Have each put up dwelling.
How far the village will progress
There isn't any telling
Since with his weapon Mr.. Boomer
Went forth one day In wrathful humor.
There used to be some men. you see,
Who took delight In knocking.
Their number was but two or three,
But what they did was shocking.
When any person would propose
A little town improvement
These fellows swatted In the noso
That new. progressive movement.
Then Mr.. Boomer UP and loaded
His little gun. to anger GOadcd.

Fine County Raised BeefS.

Mr.. James M. Moss, of Cameron,
recently sold in this city three short
horn steers, which made the finest
beef we have eaten in long time.
The steers were fifteen months old
and weighted about nine hundred
pounds each. Mr.. Moss realized
about $40 each for these steers,
which he says paid him very we'll.
Such beefs as these are worth more
than the common run of beef that
is sold in this market and people
would buy it if some of the butchers
would keep it Regularly.

Hit the Wrong Man.

Green Jackson, who arrived in the
city Monday night about nine O'Clock
over the Atlantic Coast Line, was
struck severe blow on the side or
the head while walking uptown
from the depot. He was badly cut
and called on DR.. T. c. Doyle to
dress his wound. Jackson, who IS a
highly respectable colored man,
thinks that the party who dealt the
blow mistook him for some one else.
He said a white man and a cofored
man had a quarrel on the train, and
that the white man evidently took
him for the man he had the fuss
with on the train and struck him
in the dark by mistake.

not as appreciable to the principal ac'
tors as to an outsider, as In the case
cited by the Philadelphia Ledger. Tile
scene took place in New Jersey court.
where a case for slander was being
tried. The principal witness was an
impctuous old German woman. She
talked 80 fast that the judge was ull-
able to follow her testimony, especially
as it was delivered in broken English.
In vain he attempted to stop her.
"Stop. stopw he cried, rapping sharp
" on his desk. But the torrent OF
words went on. "Old woman, hush
upr lie shouted in cXasperation." But
Il was useless. At last he threw down
his pen exhausted and cried out to the
lawyer:
"Thcrc. Mr.. Hunter! You set her
going: now stop her!"

GOV. HEY. ARD HERE.
Seems to be Just as Popular as He
Ever Was,

Ex-Gov. d. C. Hayward spent
Tuesday and Wednesday in this city
meeting his old friends and making
new ones. He has always been eS-
ceedingly popular in this city and
county and his warm reception here
on this trip shows that he is Just as
popular as ever. AS is well-known,
Ex-Gov. Hayward is now a candidate
FOR the United States Senate, and
rom reports all over the State he
seems to be favorite in the race.
This is not surprising as he is very
magnetic man, and makes friends
with everyone he meets. He ex-
pressed himself as being pleased with
the outlook and believes that he Will
win. If ne Is as popular all over
the State as he is in Orangeburg
County he has a good right to be
sanguine of being the successor to
the late Senator Latimer.

missioners take the place of the two
County Commissioners, and with the
Supervisor manages the business OF
the County. These Township Com
missioners are nominated in the
primary, and it is essential that good

not get much pay, and in order that
those who may be candidates for
these positions can let the people
know that fact we will publish their

of Orangeburg and Calhoun counties,
and the division of the association

TO BE OR NOT TO BE?
Shall Orangcburg Be in the State
League This Year?

One more effort will be made to
raise the money to put Orangeburg
in the State League this year. AS We
stated last week the old board OF dl-
rectors lost considerable money last
wear, but they are willing to try it
over if the people are willing to help
them bear the burden. A committee
of ladies have concented to call
on the business men and solicit sub
scriptions, and it is hoped that at
least one thousand dollars will be
subscribed. Some Of the subscrlp-
tions made last year were not PAID
and it is hoped that no one Will put
their name on the paper unless they
expect to pay what they subscribe.
It is a matter for the business men
to decide. If they want base Dall
they can have it by subscribing llD~
orally, and if they do not want 1t they
can say so. The matter must be
settled now.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for single day now that Hyomei
is so generally known and has made
so many cures in Oarngeburg and
other towns.
Modern science has disproved the
old theory that catarrh was a blood
disease. 1t is germ trouble, and
the remedy is Hyomei. which medi-
Gates the air you breathe, killing all
catarrhal germs.
AS there is life and health in the
air. of the pine forests, filled with
fragrant and healing balsams, so
there is life and health in breathing
Hyomei.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases Of catarrh, that
