Governor Ansel has been attend
ing few campaign meetings during
the past week, and. he paid Barnwell
and Bamberg the compliment of ap-
pearing at the meetings in these
towns. Some men have been en-
deavoring to make it appear that he
was losing votes by his absence, but
he is exactly right to stay away when
the duties of his Office demand his
attention. The people elected him
governor and they expect him to at
tend to the duties of the Office. If
something important was to happen
and his presence was needed in Co.
lumbia while he was out seeking re-
election, there would be great howl
raised by these same people. 1t is
all political buncombe, and does not
come from the friends of the COVER
nor.

popular young people of Bamberg, were

ents, Capt and Mrs. J. D. Fielder, Rev. T.

tives Of the contracting parties, and there
in the quiet of the evening hour the words
of the Methodist ritual were repeated, and
the happy couple plighted their troth. 1t
swas here illustrated that there is nothing
more beautiful than simple homelike
wedding, which without -ostentation and
parade IS performed. The brilliant effect
was not striven for, neither was it desired,
but the sense of the beautiful was pre-
eminent and supreme.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aver received many ex-
pressions of regard and esteem in the
form of gifts. They were the recipients
Of congratulations on every side and they
have the best wishes of the entire COM
munity in which they are held with high
esteem. They will make their home for
the present at Mrs. J. I. Kinards on New

An old German woman became III and
was taken by her husband to hospital
for treatment. The first day she was there,
when her husband called to inquire about
her, the doctor said she was improving.
On the second day he was again told she
was improving, and on the third and
fourth days the assurance was the same:
This was very encouraging to the old
German; but when he called on the fifth
day, he was told that his wife. was dead.
In his grief he sought his favorite saloon

THE "SOUTH CAROLINA"
THE NEW BATTLESHIP TO BE
LAUNCHED AT PHILADELPHIA.
Governor Ansel and Staff to Attend
Ship to be Christened by
Miss AnSel.

When the next battleship of Uncle
Sans navy is launched it will be
christened South Carolina" by Miss
Frederick Ansel, daughter of the
governor of this State. The launch
ing of the ship will take place on the
18th of July at the Cramps ship
yard, Philadelphia.
Governor Ansel has sent out let
ters to his staff asking them to ac-
company him to the launching, and
he stated tonight that his daughter
would christen the ship. The cere-
monies are in charge of the builders
of the ship, who have requested Gov
ernor Ansel to bring his party and
participate in the launching, the
ceremonies of which are simple.
After the launching the party will
be entertained at luncheon by the
contractors, when two or three short
speeches are to be made.
The United States battleship South
Carolina is one of the battleships au-
thorized by congress in the naval ap-
preparation act of March 81, 1905, her
sister ship being the Michigan, which
was launched a few weeks ago at the
New York Ship Building company's
dock. The South Carolina is being
built by the Cramp Steamship Com
pany, of Philadelphia. The contract
for her construction was signed on
July 21, 1906. Her keel was laid
December 18, and she will be finally
completed and turned over to the
United States government on Decem-
Der 21,. 1909. The contract price, ex-
elusive of armor and armament, was
s3,54O,000. She will have cost the
government when completed about
$7,O0O,000.
The South Carolina will have a
displacement of $1,000 tons; a speed
of 1875 knots; coal supply, 2,20O
tons; armor belt, IL inches; easement
side armor, 10 to inches; barbettes
and turrets, 10 to IL inches. Arma-
ment, eight 45-calibre 12-inch guns,
twenty-five. 3-inch guns. Torpedo
tubes, two submerged 21-inch. Her
length between perpendiculars, 400
feet; breadth on load water line, 80
feet; mean draft, "a feet inches;
full load displacement, 1860 tons;
horse power, 1900. Her total COM
plement, including officers and crew,
will be about 900 men.
The battleship South Carolina is
of particular interest, because she is
one of the first of our battleships de-
signed after the conclusion of the
Russo-Japanese war, and her design
ers have embodied in her construc-
ton the experience gathered during
the naval operations of that conflict.
The South Carolina and her sister
ship, the Michigan, will be the two
finest ships in the United States navy,
until the Delaware, now in course OF
construction, is launched and put into
commission. '

Back from Encampment.

The Bamberg Guards returned Satur-
day night from a ten days stay on Sui
livans Island, where the Second and
Third regiments were encamped. The
company for the most, part seems to
have enjoyed the outing, and excepting
some hot days and the continual stream
of sand which was pouring and blow
ing over everything, the stay was
pleasant. But even with these excep-
tions tfe encampment was doubtless
very beneficial in many respects. The
Guards went down in charge of Captain
J. F. Folk, and First Lieutenant w.

on the streets of Aiken an unknown
white woman approached a colored
man and demanded 81 of him or she
would scream, and when help arriv-

are largely responsible for the cheap
ness of human life in South Carolina.
II they would be slow in granting

no doubt be fewer murders. We sug-
gest that they try the experiment.
