ED1sTo CoUTY DEFEATED.
Badly Beaten in Orangeburg County
at the Polls.

A dispatch from Springfield says
the new county proposition. known
as Edisto, was defeated in the small
portion of Orangeburg county en-
braced in the formation by a vote
of 40 against and 9 in favor of the
new county.
Five out of eight boxes in Aiken
county give the following result:
For the new county, 274 votes;
against the new county, 226 votes.
The three boxes yet to hear from
poll $50 votes and the opponents
Of the new county claim they will
have majority of the vote in them.
Nothing has been heard from
Lexington county, but the opponents
of the new county claim that a ma.
jority of the votes cast in that county
are against the new county prop>
sition. But it really makes no dis
ference how the vote in Aiken and
Lexington counties stand, the vote
in Orangeburg killed Edisto county
There were quite a number OF
voters in Orangeburg county who
could not vote as their voting pre-
cinct was not included in the pro-
posed Edisto county. Had these
men been allowed to vote the ma
jority against the new county prop
osition would have been much larg-
er than it is. So endeth the dream
of Edisto county.

Goes to Sing Sing.

Charlie Martin. the negro who
broke in the postoffice at Fort Motto
some time ago, pleaded guilty at the
United States court at Charleston
this week and was sentenced to two
years in Sing Sing for this crime.
The Calhoun Advocate says Sheriff
Dantzler has a standing engagement.
with him to take place when this
sentence expires, and he will thea
serve some time on the county chain
gang for house-breaking. So it
seems Charlie has quite a rocky
time ahead of him.

Had Only One Wing.

The Calhoun Advance says: "Mr.
Charlie Milestone showed us bird
last Monday which he caught in
his field that only had one wing.
If it ever had two, one has been
cut or shot off so close to the body
and healed up so nicely that it was
not discernable. a close examination
was made and no sign Of a wing or
scar could be found, and the be-
lief is that it never had more than
one. The wonder is that it ever ran
the gauntlet of destroyers of bird
kind and lived to be grown.

SHIP PRESENTS AT ONCE.
Some Timely Suggestions to Those
Remembering Friends.

The express company is putting
out placards, urging their customers
to hurry with the packages and get
better service. These placards :
liver themselves of the following
"Do not wait until the last day,
ship your Christmas presents now
They also furnish red labels viii
which the packages intended for
Christmas and deposited early ats
decore ted.
These labels read: "Do not open
until Christmas" with the name Of
sender following the request. These
labels are pretty red and are sure
to attract attention of the recipient
and the package when received will
be put away until Christmas. 1t is
much wiser TO ship Sc, eral days
early and thus avoid crowded offices
and overburdened trains. In its
card of information to shippers the
Southern Express Company says:
81. All packages of freight or
merchandise should be properly
packed, so that all ordinary hand.
ing, such as packages must have in
transportation, will not result in the
breaking of contents. The strength
of the box or wrapper must always
be proportionate to the character or
weight of the contents. All PACKAGE
should be securely tied and should
be plainly marked with marking
brush or strong tag or a label
printed or written with plain black
ink pasted on the package.
"2. If there are any old marks
on the package they should be
thoroughly obliterated. No package
should be sent to the express CON-
pany with two marks thereon, even
though both marks are the same
One mark is enough.
"3. If there are two places of
the same name in the same State,
always put the name of the county
ON the package. When YOU send
a package to a city always give the
full address of the consignee, the
street and number. 1t is always we'll
to send a letter by United States
mail, advising the oonsignee that
you have sent a package by express
"4. Do not pack in one box one
class Of matter that might injure
another class.
"5. Remember that glass will no:
carry without breakage unle IS
properly packed. If you send glass
of jelly in a package Of nice dress
goods and the glass breaks you spoil
your goods.
sc. When shipping alawys tel
the receiving clerk what the value
is, so that such care may be given l..
as its value may require.
-. Do not put any money or
valuables whatever into freight
package. =

The FIRE FlENl}
HITS THE TOWN OF SWANSEA
HEAVY.
Eight Business Houses Go Up In
snoke-rhe Fire Started in One
of the Stores.

VI C1kC GSN2SS.
The growing, hustling little town
OF Swansea just across the line in
Lexington County was visited Tues
day morning by the most destruc-
tive fire in it's history. The FIRE de-
stroyed some eight business places
before it could be subdued by the
heroic efforts OF the citizens that
gathered to fight it.
1t was discovered about 3 o'clock
Tuesday morning in the Office of the
large store building of Messrs ]. w
.& L. Lybrand. and it was not long
before the whole building was en-
veloped with flames which rapidly
spread to the adjoining buildings
The following buildings were to-
tally destroyed: Swansea Drug
Company, ]. w. & B. L. Lybrand
general merchandise; DR.. Brooker
drug store; Henry Harp. beef
market, etc.; NJ. L. Williams. gro
ceries; A. restaurant owned by j
w. & r. l.. Lybrand; The K. CT P
lodge hall.
The new building of the Bank OF
Swansea was badly damaged, the
whole front being almost totally
ruined. The large store OF ~Rey-
aolds & Craft, together with the
Swansea hotel, narrowly escaped tn
flames. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
The estimated loss, with the
amount OF insurance, cannot he
learned, but it will undoubtedly be
heavy, and, coming just at this sea-
son when the merchants were pre-
pared for large Christmas trade.
makes is doubly heavy.
We extend sympathy to our Sis
ter town, in the loss it has sustained
but phoenix like, she will rise from
her ashbed, more beautiful and
prosperous town.

That the preacher has no

admit. That he. has no right to
sell them and appropriate the pro-
ceeds to his own personal use We
also admit Neither do de claim the
right to sell the minutes and then
take collection for them.
But we do claim the right to sell
them and turn that money over to
the conference to have more min
utes printed with it. And, if there
was an assessment placed on my
charge for the publication Of the
catalogues Of our colleges and there
was a demand for such catalogues
I would lot hesitate to sell them to
raise the assessment. Nor would
we be doing any wrong to the man
who would not contribute one cent,
if we were to take collection.
So far as we can learn. from the
stewards records, Mr.. Vaughn has
not contributed one cent for some
years to any church purpose. If h.
is too poor to do SO, that is alright

that "thinketh no evil, that he vii!
even love the Rev. J. H. Thacker,
in spite of the fact that that same
