Entered Wrong House.

Spartanburg, May 30 A Walden,
who claims Virginia as his home, was
fined S25 or thirty days in the Po-
lice court this morning. He was the
richest defendant the police has dealt
with in many moons, having a certif-
cate from the cashier of a bank in
Virginia showing that he had three
thousand dollars on deposit at six
per cent. interest. He also had a
pass book on a local bank showing a
credit of five hundred dollars. Wal
den went to see his girl last night
and being stranger in the city, got
into the wrong premises and was
about to be shot by the inmates of
the house, thinking he was burg
lar. He was taken in charge by the
police.

CONGRESS Has Adjourned.

Washington May 30.-Just 10
minutes, officially, before the hands
of the big round clocks in the cham
bers of the two houses of congress
pointed to the hour of midnight the
first session of the sixtieth congress
came to q close. In the house the
closing hours were characterized by
singing of songs by Republicans In
honor of Speaker Cannon, and by
Democrats in the interest of William
J.. Bryan. The excitement, which
was great at times finally subsided
and the session closed with general
good fellowship among the members.
The senate was extremely quiet dur
ing the closing hours, held together
only by the necessity of remaining
in session for the engrossing and
signing of bills.

News from Ehrhardt.

Ehrhardt, June 1.-Grain has been
about all cut and housed, and farm
ers are preparing to plant their stub
BILE land in corn. Glad to see our
farmers putting so much attention to
their corn crops. Corn and plenty of
it is what Is needed in this section.
We have as fine lands as there is any
where in the State and attention is
all that we need to have plenty OF
anything that we want.
Mt. Pleasant Sunday-school picnic
was a success in every respect. The
day was all that could be desired, q
little warm, and the crowd was large
enough and attentive. Master Jesse
Rentz made the welcome address,
and, even If a little timid, meant
more welcome to the visitors than
he could tell in words. The address
by Rev. w. H. Greever, Of Columbia,
was in order for the day, and his au-
dience was held as one to the end,
and when through everyone made the
one comment: Wasn't the lecture
fine" The dinner was spread and
all seemed to be of the same opinion,
that it was good to eat, at least their
actions proved this thought, for they
ate heartily. Ice cold lemonade was
served free, and was not bad to cool
and satisfy the thirsty. The youngs-
ters then had their time. Selecting
the young lady of his choice amid the
bushes, ETC., he would tell her some
thing pleasant. Yes, pleasant, but
young ladies, do you think that what
they said was half true? To wind up
the day the young men played a
game of base ball on the Ehrhardt
school diamond, in the afternoon
part of the day.

Kirkland Reunion, School Closing,
Base Ball, and Other News.

Base Ball. and Other News.
Olar, June DIR. and Mrs. N.
F. Kirkland, Sr., celebrated their 5Oth
wedding anniversary last Wednesday
May 9th. All of their children
were present except Mr.. J. M. L.
Kirkland, of Beaufort, who was un-
able to be present on account of his
large trucking interest which re-
quires his attention at this season.
Most of their grandchildren were
there, too, and quite good number
of relatives and friends. The day
was pleasantly spent by all in picnic
fashion under the old oaks in front
of the house. No couple ever took
the solemn obligations of matrimony
who have lived up to them more
truly and faithfully than they have.
Their lives have not only been ones
of devotion to each other and family,
but to neighbors, friends, Christ
and His church. No one for miles
around when bent down by sorrow
and trouble but what always appeals
to and finds comfort in the true
Christian advice and sympathy of
Cousin Frank and Cousin Jenny.
May God spare their useful lives to
see many more anniversaries.
The Olar base ball team went
down to Luray last Wednesday and
played a game with that towns team.
After nine innings which were played
in exactly one hour, the score stood

a very fine team, but seems to be
playing in hard luck this season.
The commencement exercises OF
Olar high school will take place next
Sunday and continue until Tuesday
evening. Sermons will be preached
Sunday by Rev. J. W. Daniel, in the
morning, and by Rev. R. A. Yongue
in the evening. Prof. W. M. Oxner
and his faculty of teachers deserve
much credit for the efforts they have
put forth to make this the most sue
cessful school year Olar has ever had.
