Oranaeburc's Public Building.

1t seems to be settled fact that
Orangeburg is to have a handsome
public building. This pleasing news
was communicated to President Jen-
nings Of the Business Mems League
bv a telegram from Congressman
Lever on Thursday evening which
stated that $4,000, had been ap-
propriated for the building Al O:-
ansebury. Congressman Lever is en-
titled to the thanks Of the people OF
this city for the interest he took III
the matter and for finally getting the
aDpropriation for the building. 1t Is
much needed. Several other towns
in the State also got public buildings.

In the west there is growing apprc-
citation Of the movement to beauti:y
the steel highways. movement now
in popular favor and under full swing
on the Atlantic coast Both steam and
electric lines in Los Angeles are each
year giving the matter more time and
attention. 1t is highly contagious
work, for it stimulates both towns and
rural districts to clean up and plant
streets and highways as we'll as to im-
prove private places. We shall yet

lIuZZlc the Dogs.

No dog should he allowed to run
at large without being muMled. There
are too many mad dogs abroad, and
something must be done to check
the spread of hydropnobia. Govern
ment experts say the only way to do
it is to muzzle the dogs, and this
should be done. The City Council
Should take the matter up at once
and pass an ordinance requiring all
dogs to be muzzled or kept off the
streets.

An Ideal Sitter.

An Ideal Sitter.
A Washington artist, while sketch
ing in North Carolina, was one day in
search of q suitable background of
dark pines for picture he had plan
ned. At last he found the precise sit
uation he was seeking. and, best Of all.
there CHANGED to be a pretty detail in
the figure Of an old colored woman in
the foreground.
The artist asked the old woman to
remain seated until he had sketched
her. She assented with the greatest
good nature, but in few minutes
asked how long the artist would be.
"Oh, only about quarter Of an hour"
he answered.
Three minutes or so later the old
darky again inquired-this time with
manifest anxiety-how long the opera
ton Of sketching would take.
"Not long" was the reassuring re-
ply. But why do you ask so anxious
ly" ooh. nuthin', sah," the old wo-
man hastened to respond, "only Is
sittin' on an ant hill, sab" Judges

Mondays Game.

Monday afternoon Chester played
her first game in Orangeburg. Up
to the fourth inning neither club
scored. In that inning wild throw
by Miller from third to first base al
lowed Chester not only to score one
man, but to advance two others to
second and third bases. A lucky hit
scored two more men, and then Ches-
ter was retired. Things now looked
blue for Orangeburg, but our boys
pulled together and succeeded in
scoring one before she was retired.
In the fifth inning Chester failed to
score, but Orangeburg chalked up
another run. In the sixth inning
Chester was retired without making
a score. Orangeburg batted Bell pref
ty freely and got two more men over
the home plate, but Prim cut third
and was called out ..y the umpire.
This tied the score and neither club
scored after the sixth innine. At tho
end of the ninth inning the umpire
called the game on account of dark
hess, and so il ended in tie, each
club having made three runs.
The following is the score Of Mon
dav'S game.

In the course Of his argument the

versary. A moment later he felt tug
ging at his coattails. Looking down,

Of the play greatly diminished by the
fact that an overgrown man in front
Of him persisted in wearing q tall SILK
hat. He tried to look around the hat
and over the burly shoulders. but only
to his discontinue. Finally he tapped
the man on the arm, saying, EFF you
please, sare, would you be kind enough
to take off your hat?" No attention
was paid to this protest, and ne re-
iterated his request. Still the big man
paid no heed. Mr.. Hills attention was
attracted, and, taking his cane, he
knocked the silk hat off into the aisle.
Instantly the man, his face red with
wrath, rose to his feet and began to
pull off his coat. The audience also
rose, expecting to see Il fight The
Jay stopped, the actors crowding to
tie front of the stage. = Mr.. Hill de-
IiDerately stood up. displaying his six
feet two inches of height and his mag,
