THE WOMAN TO AVOID.

The woman who Is eternally finger
ing you, touching your ribbons or
rumpling your frock as she talks.
You feel like running from her in
cold weather. Days like these you
could cheerfully hang her to ba rid
of her.
The woman who is always telling
you she hasn't been warm this sum-
mer. You do not believe her, and il
you did, envy of salamander is not
cooling.
The one who clamors constantly for
a thermometer, and is always compar-
ing this summers heat with the sea-
son of '76 or '9S, or any other sizzl-
ing year that we would much rather
forget.
She who casually says to the crowd,
''Lets go for ice cream" then allows
some one else to set it up.
The woman who hints to go out in
your car or writes to invite herself to
your country home.
The married cousin who never has
room in her big city house to enter
tain you, but tails on your neck the
first hot day, and lands on you for
the summer with all her children.
The woman who will eat green
fruit, crabs and lemonade, then keeps
you up all night listening to her
groans.
The sufferer from the heat who can
not resist the summer sales even at
the risk of coming home in an am
bulance.
The woman who borrows your best
summer frock to copy in cheap
materials, and sends it home only fit
tor the wash tub.
The dearest foe who always tells
you to wear pink when your hair is
red, and eoru when your skin is a sal
low leather tinge.

WAaDINe OFF OLD AGE.

"Whom the gods love never grow
DID," is the late English translation
of "Whom the gods love die young. ="
Certainly in these days one great
effort is notlto grow old. There are
no more grandmothers in town. The
women, shall we say 65, wears modish
hats with plumes, her figure is as
carefully corseted, more so, Indeed,
than her grsnddaughter's her hair is
usually dyed, or a transformation is
worn, and carefully arranged veil
conceals many defects. The art of
massage, skin lotions and preserva-
tives has been carried to a perfection
undreamed of decade ago. and the
woman of wealth and leisure seldom
grows old, in appearance at least.
The men, too, preserve their youth
wonderfully in this age. Probably
the hustle and hustle of business and
professional competition is beneficial /;
it tends to keep the mind and body
active and therefore young. In olden
days when women had little hut
routine domestic matters and men
lived and worked plaoidly, they grew
old quickly. Then, too, despite the
fact that now all manner of diseases
are lowering about, that consumption
and cancer are multiplied manifold,
the fact remains that the health of
the present generation is better than
that of the past, as that of the preced
ing generation went far ahead of the
previous one.
Fresh air and exercise have much
to do with this. In oIden times they
had less regard for either, and for the
proper use of the bath as we'll. Clean
liness, fresh air all the time and ex-
eroise will Offset a multitude of late
hours and to degrae ward off con-
tagious diseases.
While the previous generation may
have drunk no more than this, back
of that convIviality was carried to far
greater excess among menl than 1t is
now, and was regarded with much
more lenieucy. Excesses in liquor
tell on the next generation. While
the drink habit and drunkenness
have increased largely among the
women of the present day, it should
be remembered that those so tending
to excess are in the dregs or else in
society, neither Of which class is
more than a cipher, compared with
the great mass OF women who live
moderately, and most OF whom drink
nothing intoxicating. In the middle
class, composed chiefly, of salarled
men and their families, wine seldom
appears, even single glass at dinner,
and certainly at no other times, un-
less one is Ill. This statement is true
OF the great mass of housekeepers in
both town and city, and it means
much.

We had intended to write up for
this issue the meeting of the State
Press Association at Gafney last
week, but to tell the truth we have
not yet recovered from the handsome
entertainment given the press party,
SO it will have to go over till next
week. There is so much to be said
that considerable space will nee
essarily be devoted to it. No town
or city has ever attempted to do
things on the scale. Of Gaffney, in the
way of entertaining the Association,
and they succeeded admirably. If
we could put the Gaffney spirit into
xthe people of Bamberg, we'd soon
have city of 5000 inhabitants, wa
ter works, sewerage and an all round

KILLED IN A BALL GAME.
Orangeburg County Lad, Hit Over
Heart bp Base Ball, Drops Dead.

Springfield, July 5.-Paul Morgan,
about 21 years old, was killed by be-
ing hit with a pitched ball in a base
ball game at Morgantown, place
about two miles from here, yesterday
afternoon. Young Morgan was bat
ting at the time and was struck just
over the heart, falling unconscious.
He died almost instantly. Grover
Cannon, the boy who pitched the ball,
is Frustrated with grief.
When the accident occurred,
game was in progress, and young
Cannon was pitching for the opposing
team, with Morgan at the bat. Nor
gan misjudged the ball, evidently, and
it struck over his heart. He made
one step in the direction of first base,
but turned around fell, dead. He
did not say a word. Friends rushed
to his assistance, and tried to revive
him with cold water, but failed.
Paul Morgan was the youngest
son of Mr.. Morgan, a prosperous
farmer, living in the MorgantoWn
settlement. He was well known
here, having gone to the Springfield
High School last year.
Grover Cannon is young boy
about 16 years old, and IS player
on the Springfield base ball team.
This accident is deplored by every
one. It is the first of its kind that
ever happened in this place.

Great Western Busted.

Insurance Commissioner F. H. Nc
Master has been advised by 1nsur-
ance Commissioner Vandiver, OF
Missouri, that the Great Western
Life Insurance Company, of Kansas,
Mo-, has been found to be insolvent
and that proceedings will be insti-
tuted to wind up the affairs OF the
company.
It will be remembered that the
latter part of May Commissioner Nc
Master, becoming suspicious of this
company, ruled it to show cause why
its license should not be revoked, Civ
ing notice in the papers of his pur-
pose. The company failing to make
the proper showing at the end OF the
thirty days required by law, Commits
sioner McMaster revoked the license
of this company. He is now inform
ed by the insurance commissioner
of Missouri that it is insolvent. It
seems likely, however, that the poll
cy holders of this company will be
reinsured in another company
Whether or not persons holding
stock in the company will get re-
turn on their stock remains to be

Girl Falls One Hundred Feet.

Miss Rossie Bradley, Of Hagan,
Ca, fell from a trestle on the Tallu-
lah Falls. Railway last week. Miss
Bradley was caught on the trestle by
a train and grasped cross beam in
her futile attempt to hold on until
the train had passed. The train was
stopped before it reached the centre
of the trestle from which Miss Brad
ley was suspended. Engineer Jones
had seen the young woman on the
track and soon brought his train to
standstill. Leaping from his en-
CINE he ran to her assistance. When
almost in reach of her she turned
loose and fell to the chasm below,
which was over 100 feet. Soon after
wards she was picked up and carried
aboard the train. When Tullulah
Falls were reached the unconscious
girl was removed to the Cliff House.
It was found that three ribs were
broken and her collar bone was frac-
tured. Unless complications arise,
it is thought she will recover.

A Grateful SOn.in.LaW.

H. H. Rogers, on his return voy-
age from Bermuda last month, said
one evening in the smoking room OF
his travelling companion Mark Twain:
"He is an incorrigible humorist.
Even in his most emotional mo-
ments he can't help being funny.
when he married in Elmira In
1870 his father-in-law made him q
present of a fine, well-furnished
house in Buffalo.
"The present came as a surprise.
Mark Twain knew nothing of 1t till,
amid a party of relatives and friends,
he was shown over the luxurious
place. Then, when they told him 1t
was his tears filled his eyes.
"But he was still the humorist,
and turning to his father-in-law he
said, though in voice that trembled
q little:
"'Mr. Langdon, whenever you're
in Buffalo, if it's as much as twice a
year, you are to come right up here
and take tea. You can stay all night,
too, If you want to, and it shant cost
you a cent. Washington Star.

Wanted His Dues.

A reservation Indian was d1scon-
solate over the breaking of his axe
handle. He laid his misfortune be-
fore the farmer" of the reservation,
who, through pity, took new nan
die from his private stock and ad-
iusted it to the axe. The farmer
then noticed that the ak was shock
ingly dull. So motioning the owner
to turn the grindstone, he expended
a half hours time in sharpening the
blade. When the rehabilated ak was
given to the Indian he was childishly
gleeful, but still. fingered about, In
dicating by his actions that some
feature of the transaction had not
been adjusted.
The farmer was a little annoyed
and called to an Interpreter. ASK
the old fellow what he wants now,
he directed.
After an exchange of grunts and
gestures the Interpreter announced
"He wants 25 cents"
"Twenty-five cents! What for?'
"For turning the grindstone. =

WHITE MAN KILLS NEGRO.
Negro Chased White Mans Wife With
Crimal Intent.

Orangeburg, July 4.-Another
homicide has been recorded IN
Orangeburg county. Between and
9 O'Clock Friday morning j. l.. John-
son. white, shot and killed a negro
named Lige Walker, about two and
a half miles from the town or
Neece's, in this county. The cause
of the shooting was the alleged at
tempt on the part of the negro to as
sault the wife of Mr.. Johnson. Notn-
ing was known here of the af1alr
until this morning, when Mr.. John-
son came to the city and surrendered
to Sheriff Dukes.
Mr.. Johnson and family live on
the place of J. NJ. Stephenson, by
whom the former is employed, their
residences being about half a mile
apart. About II o'clock Thursday
morning Mrs. Johnson was in the
cotton field right by Stephenson S
house, near which the negro was
sharpening some farm implements.
Mrs. Johnson started toward her
home, and when about $50 yards
from Stephenson's house the negro
suddenly quit his work and began
running in the direction taken by
Mrs. Johnson, who was accompanied
by her seven-year-old son. They be-
came alarmed and also commenced
to run, the negro gaining on them
all the time. When very near the
house Walker stopped running, evil
IDENTIFY becoming frightened at the
screams of the lady and child, ana
disappeared. The husband reached
home about IL o'clock and found MS
wife in a highly nervous state, ana
was informed about the occurrence.
He had no shells in the house at the
time but procured some that after
noon. He was unable. to locate the
negro at the time so took his gun to
the field Friday morning with the IN
tention of shooting Walker on sight.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock, seeing the
negro at Stephenson's gate in conver-
sation with the latter, he picked up
the gun and started toward the two
men. When within hearing distance
he found that Stephenson had dis
charged Walker and was ordering
him off the place. The negro saw
him coming and turned to run when
Johnson fired, the load striking
Walker in the back. The negro
fell on his back, when johnson
reloaded and fired again, the second
shot lodging in the abdomen, produc-
ing instant death. Johnson then left
the scene of the trouble with the In
tention of remaining away until after
the inquest, telling Stephenson where
he was going, distance of about
two miles. H returned home before
night and remained there until this
morning, when he came to Orange
burg and gave himself up.
It seems that Walker had been IN
the neighborhood only about a month
and told conflicting stories concern
ing his former whereabouts. He had
also made himself Objectionable on
several previous occasions, and alto
gether was considered something OF
a suspicious character.
